Oxford and Cambridge now admit women and to prepare for all degrees on equal terms with men, except those courses leading to degrees In theol- ogy. It is not surprising that under these clrcumstances there are hun- dreds of Americans'studying in these venerated seats of learning now, when ten years ago there were barely fifty. Besides. the training, which all the older uniyersities bestow and the in- estimable wdvantage of foreign travel, the woman's colleges of these anclent English universities offer more for almost one-third the usual annual Margaret Hall. Queen Mary Is_the honorary head, Hilda's Hall, St. Hugh's and Some! ville, all at Oxford, have presented a detailed account of annual expenses and also the total expenditure for the entire course, which is three years in England Instcad of four years, as required by all American colleges. With some economy a girl can &o through Oxford at any of these col- leges with 700 or, at the normal rate of exchange, for $3.500. or for about $1.300 annually. But this amount i cludes every expense, living, tuition, specfal colleglate fees, pin everything except raiment. The de: of Somerville, which has more than thrée hundred American girls in res dence, observes, this expense in Eng- land is less than in the U since students dress very plainly while at college. The Cambridge colleges, Newnham and Girton, require abouf £850 to £900 for the three years. Few parents find that the tuition for their daughters in American colleges can be got under $1.500 annu or $6.000 for the course, and this does not in- clude ma; extras, especlally when the time arrives for the degrees.
