Subsequently a paragraph was prepared for the “Isis,” proofs of which were submitted to Miss Mann, bxit was not published. The paragraph referred to tlie joke and apologised to the guests invited to the hall. Miss Shaw-Cross, who is the subeditress of tlie “Isis,” xvas first sent down, upon wlxicli Lady Cairns declared she supplied the information. These are the first women undergraduates to be sent down.
