According to Nature, a hall of residence for women students at University College, London, and at the School of Medicine for women, has just been opened at No. 1 Byng place, Gordon square, W. C., in the neighborhood of those institutions. The degrees of the University of London are open to women. University College, London, has supported the action of the university by admitting women on the same footing as men to all the classes of its Faculties of Arts and Law and of Science, and to its libraries, thus throwing open to them a full training in these fields of study. The London School of Medicine for Women, near University College, although not connected with it, is the only institution in England that trains women for degrees in medicine and surgery, and is formally recognized by the University of London. Students of painting, etching, and sculpture have long enjoyed the advantages of the Slade School, which is an important part of one Faculty of Arts in University College, and proximity to the British Museum, with its art collections, will also be considered as another great advantage. The very necessary condition is imposed that students applying for admission shall be required to satisfy the committee that their object is serious study; and if any student should require private tuition, the principal is empowered by the committee to make the necessary arrangements.
