Correspondence.

The article presents a correspondence on women at the university of London. The University of London is notoriously not a teaching body, but an examining board, with a Government charter granting the right to confer degrees. Degrees are conferred in arts, science, medicine, surgery, law and music and the courses and examinations required are among the most severe of any in the world. To this institution women have been trooping by the thousand ever since 1878. The University was at that date empowered to institute special examinations for women and the subjects chosen were those which the board presumed would be preferred by the women themselves.
