OXFORD WOMEN, GRADUATES.
(HISTORIC, CEBEMONT.
Dr. Farnell, Rector of Exeter College, who entered office as Vice-Chancellor of Oxford University, this term, made his first public appearance at the Sheldonian Theatre on October 14th, when women. graduates were for the first time admitted to degrees in the University.

The degree of M.A. was first conferred by decree of Convocation on the Pria-

After the candidates. from tho colleges had taken their degrees, 50 women gradontes were admitted; 20 to the B.A and M.A. together, one to the B.C., two to the B.Litt., and, due to the B.Sc. and 19 to the E.A. About 400 more former women students are qualified to take tho degree, and
many of these will be admit ted at degree days later in the term
The leaders of women's education in Oxford may be congratulated on this triumphal recognition of the cause for which they have worked so long and so arduously, and on a victory won by courtesy, patience and morit, none.
