ONE WOMAN TO FOUR MEN ONLY.
OXFORD UNIVERSITY RESTRICTS NUMBERS OF LADY UNDERGRADUATES. By Telegraph.—Press Assn.—Copyright. Aus. and N.Z. Cable Association. (Received June 15, 1.30 p.m.) LONDON, June 14. 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 the history and tradition 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 be treated as a menace and a danger.
