WOMEN STUDENTS
ENTRY TO UNIVERSITIES. i LONDON, December 5. “Woman thinks she is the most important thing on God’s earth, but the Book of Genesis shows that she _is only a side issue,” was an Aberdonian’s denunciation during a Glasgow debate at which Belfast, Manchester, Liverpool, and Scottish undergraduates adopted a resolution declaring that women should be banned from universities. The Aberdonian added that before women were admitted, universities had bred a spirit of passionate adventure, but now tney gave only a drawing room veneer. Men were fighting to prevent St. Andrew’s University, the oldest in Scotland, from becoming a girls’ college. An Indian, who was the only champion of women, said they had not to work at home owing to the advent of baby foods, canned meat, and tinned frjiitj and therefore should be admitted to universities.
