Women at Oxford.

Opinion is divided regarding the | decision taken by the authorities at Oxford University to limit the number of women undergraduates. In future the proportion is to be one woman student to four men.

To judge by a good deal that has appeared in the Press in the last few days it might be thought that the issue is one of sex and nothing more; but I am assured that this does not represent the position.

Apparently the real division of opinion at Oxford is now on lines as of age. not so much of sex
