A Conference was held this day week at the Architectural
College, Conduit Street, on the proposed residential College for Women of which we gave our readers a brief notice some weeks ago. The Dean of Canterbury took the chair, and it was stated that the female students of the proposed college, if established, are to be examined (if they like) by the Examiners of the University of Cambridge, in the same alternative degree subjects as the Cam- bridge Undergraduates are now examined in ; and a certificate will be given to the successful girls, which will be equivalent to a degree, without the name, of which the girls seem to be bashful. The examination will not, however, be enforced as a necessary consequence of the course of study,—which is well. It would be much better not to begin by assuming that the Cambridge exam- inations will suit this new class of students. The subsctiptioa does not go on as fast as it ought to do. 30,0001. will be required, of which only 1,700/. appears to have been received. The religious worship of the College will be that of the Church.
