ABSTRACT
The example of a generous recognition of the cla,ims of women to a higher education which has been so long set by Cambridge, is now to be followed by her sister Alma Mater of Oxford. At a meeting held on June 22nd, in Oxford, it was resolved that steps should be taken to establish a system of lectures for women, to be conducted with general reference to the Oxford examination of women over 18 years of age. A guarantee fund of £300 a year for three years was raised in Oxford, and a lady generously offered £1,000 to meet the further expenses, on condition that an equal sum should be provided from ether quarters. An Association was formed, which gradually included the heads of the principal colleges and many of the Professors. A recent meeting has st.ill further consolidated the scheme. As soon as the lectures are organised next month, applications for students will be received. It is not proposed to spend money in building a college, but to provide lodgings with suitable superintendents, so that the nucleus of a hall may be gradually formed.
