WOMEN AT ENGLISH UNIVERSITIES.

Today will probably mark an epoch in the
educational history Of the women in England.
For weeks there has been Il vigorous discussion
of the question whether they shall be admitted TO
degrees at the two great universities The case
will come I'D for decision 1T Oxford to-day, and
the result there will doubtless affect the decision
which is 10 be made at Cambridge n little later
What the vote Of the oxford congregation will
be Is a matter of doubt. There Will be made a
number Of propositions. One that all women
who have been In actual residence at the unver-
sity for twelve terms, and bave passed the re-
Uuired examinations shall be admitted to the
Bachelors degree; second that such Bachelors
shall be permitted to proceed TO the Masters
degree; third, that only honor students shall
be admitted to degrees; and fourth, that women
shall be admitted on exactly the same conditions
as men, Votes may he taken on all these propo-
sitions, and perhaps upon some others.
At present the logic OF the situation seems to
be on the womcn's side The universities have
either granted them too much not enough.
Women are now permitted to pursue the courses
OF study and to pass the examinations just as
the men do. When they have passed. however,
they receive no diplomas. but merely certificates
stating that they have passed. That certainly
seems, illogical, to say woman has passed

Glider Committee Of 1894 did good work, and
many OF its excellent recommendations have
become laws. Another step in the right direc-
ton Is the Improved Housing Conference, 10
be held to-day and tomorrow, which will take
up the question where that committee left II.
The scope of the discussion announced and the
character Of the citizens calling the conference
promise better times for the tenement-houSe
population, with the prospect Of replacing blocks
of rookeries with sanitary dwellings. That this
may result will be the earnest wish Of those
who care for the welfare of the working people.

The other bill is 70 have n hearing today, ana

conditions there are different. and there are some
of the Assembly men who will respond sullcnly
and reluctantly, if at all, to the crack OF the
Boss's whip.
