Only women of unusualy scholarly .ability and training, and of serious purpose, can expect to be admitted to Oxford for graduate study. In
general, only those who have already
had a year of graduate work in this
country can hope to compete with other graduate students at Oxford. The
following suggestions have been received from the Oxford principals regarding the types of students who
could most profitably study there.
(a) Those intending to be in residence two years and planning to take
cither a research degree (B.Lkt. or
8. Sc.), a B.A. 'honours degree (if admitted as a Senior Foreign Student),
or a University diploma.
(b) . Those studying far higher degrees of American universities and requiring special facilities in Oxford.
(c). Graduates who have embarked upon some piece of research which
tHcy wish to continue under direction
for a period of not less than one year.
Graduate 'teachers wishing to be admitted for a shorter period of study
'letwecn posts may be recommended
for chance vacancies.
No lists of Oxford lectures are available until two or three days before
each term. The subjects desired
should be submitted in detail well in
advance so that modifications may be
suggested, if necessary, by the college.
4. Necessary credentials:
(a) At least one personal letter as
reference.
(b) Two references from profess
ors as to standard of previous work.
In cases of candidates for B.Ss., or
B.Litt. degress a definite statement is
necessary of the candidate's fitness for
research as distinguished from assurance of general intelligence, before
she can be 'accepted by the University
committee of Advanced Studies at
Oxford and by the appropriate Board
of the Faculty.
(c) Either her diploma or an official statement from the College or
University that it has been granted.
