GIRL STUDENTS' RIGHTS
The students of Girton College, Cambridge, are rejoicing in their new:f ound freedom in receiving their men friends in college and in meeting them outside, says the "Daily Mail." They are to be trusted. What has been sanctioned in special circumstances is now allowed generally. Instead of a request for special permission being made in person to the newly appointed Mistress of Girton, Miss H. M. Wodehouse, notification will, be given by the filling in of a form. The change in the regulations was announced to the students in hall by Miss Wodehouse.
Hitherto the students have been allowed to. receive, men in college until 6.30 p.m. Now they can receive them there after dinner between 7.45 and 10. The hostess may also receive a man in her sitting-room without a third person being present. Another concession is that students may attend dances outside college . now by the mere signing of a form instead of applying in person to the .mistress for permission.
Girton College is two miles from the centre of the town, and it was purposely placed at that distance in t_he 'sixties. It lias waiting-rooms for its members off King's parade, and there students may now meet undergraduates under conditions which permit of private conversation.
