ONE TO FIVE

Such is the proportion of wom-e i students to m-c-n entered at Oxford. However, the women are reconciled to the injustice, if such it is, and are; digging- themselves well in at their colleges. They meet their mal e con : freres at debates, but -not always is harmony maintained, for it is said that the ladies take such discussions , seriously, -while the men wish to make ,1 fun, and stray from the point. It would seem, therefore, as if it should have been lady students to come from Oxford two years ago, for certainly it was considered by us a defect that the young men showed this failing during their brilliant remarks. The Oxford women students, therefore are concentrating on their own lectures,- at which Miss Sackville West, Hugh Walpole, and other literati are to address them. They have one advantage over the men as regards punting.-' An odd social rule forbids the men to punt in the river except during Trinity term. No such convention binds the ‘undergradliettes,’ however, and so they can practice at their ease.
