Role did Mr gilman play in …

Ok

Mr. Gilman was the principle of the Cambridge school for young ladies. He was an efficient teacher and knew the art of making his teaching interesting and effective. He permitted mildred to study at Cambridge as he knew it would be moral booster for Helen. During the examination ,he acted as an interpreter for Helen. A sincere concern for Helen made him think that Helen was stressed out in her studies. He urged her to take it easy. This ultimately lead to some misunderstanding and Helen withdrew from the school but continued her preparations for further studies. Helen had a great respect for Mr. Gilman but perhaps he failed to measure the ever increasing urge of Helen for further education. On the other hand he was worried And did not want Helen to get overstressed as that could be bad for her.
