NEW ZEALAND STUDENT
SUCCESS ABROAD.
IN AUXILIARY AIR FORCE.
Miss Isobel Wright, LL.B., of Christchurch, who has been continuing her legal studies at Oxford, recently attended the mid-summer session'of the School of International Law, held at The Hague. She had obtained one of five studentship grants made to England, three of which went to Oxford, states the New Zealand Law Journal.
Since Miss Wright entered at Lady Margaret Hall, Oxford, last year, she has had a very interesting and successful year both scholastlcally and otherwise. Amongst other things she was fortunate in -winning the WinterWilliams Women's Law Scholarship open to women law students, who had been at Oxford for not more than eleven terms. She secured this scholarship during her first term.
Later she was elected president of the Geldart Society, a society composed of women law students at Oxford. She was also asked to take the place of an absentee upon the Oxford Law Com mittee.
In addition, Miss Wright secured her Blue for tennis, playing against Cambridge in May last. She secured a further Blue for cricket. She is also on the committee of the recently formed New Zealand Oxford Club.
The war has, however, interfered with her continuing at Oxford thig year, as she ia now serving in the Women's Auxiliary Air Force.
