LIMITING THE HUMBER
(British Official News.) Press Association—By Wireless—Copyright.
RUGBY, June 14. (Received Juno 15, at 1.45 p.m.) The Oxford Congregation, by 229 votes to 164, decided to limit the number of women undergraduates to 620. The Principal of Hertford College, in advocating the limitation, contended that the maintenance of the present proportion of one woman to four men was appropriate to _ a university with a history and tradition such as that of Oxford. . , Miss Fry said that women were sick to death of discussing the abilities and disabilities of their sex. They only asked to be trusted to help the university and .not to ho treated as a menace and a danger.
[The Congregation is one of the governing bodies of the university, consisting of resident members.]
