Women at Oxford
Winning Social
Recognition

Paul Means, an Omaha boy who
is studying at St. Johns college at
Oxford, writes OF some of the
changes that have come over this
venerable and aristocratic institution
since the war. He says the 500 wo-
men :. undergraduates have been
granted equal membership in the
university, but that the growing
amount OF companionship and social
intercourse between the men and
women are still rather frowned on
by the vice chancellor. The Ameri-
can club. which has $50 members,
has been spreading American ideas
of coeducation, for they invite the
American girls at the university to
attend their club meetings.
Mr.. Means described, too, the Ok
ford International assembly, which
is miniature league Of nations. and
in which, in its interest in world
problems and its democracy, its
strongly typical Of the spirit of the
university. There are young men
and women over there from all over
the world-130 from India alone. OF
the assembly the Omaha boy writes.
"A glance at the many national
clubs at Oxford will show how true
