No Woman whose name has been placed on the Register of Women Students and subsequently removed from it can be admitted to a University Examination in Arts or Music until her name has been replaced on that Register.

Applications to University Officials must be made through the Secretary to the Delegacy.

Certificates on which a claim to exemption from Responsions or any other Examination is based must be sent to the Secretary to the Delegacy with a fee of £1. If a Candidate desires to claim the exemptions granted to an Affiliated, Colonial, Indian, or Foreign Senior Student, the fee is £2.

Registered Women Students must send in certificates through their Society, within four weeks from the date of their Registration, or pay an additional fee of £1.

Certificates wholly or partly obtained after Registration will be accepted without additional fee, if sent in to the Secretary within the first four weeks of the Term next following the completion of the qualification.

Women Candidates whose names are not and have never been on the Register are required, when entering their names for an Examination, to sign the following form of declaration, and to send it to the Secretary with the entry form and the statutable fee:—

I, A.B., hereby declare that during the two years previous to the present date I have not been residing in Oxford as a Student.

[Statt. Tit. VIII. Sect. xv.]

OF CERTIFICATES IN LETTERS AND IN SCIENCE FOR WOMEN STUDENTS, AND OF THE DUTIES OF THE DELEGACY FOR WOMEN STUDENTS IN CONNEXION THEREWITH.

1. Preliminary.

In this Section of the Statutes, the word Science shall be taken to include Mathematics and Natural Science. As regards philosophical subjects, the Board of the Faculty of Literæ Humaniores shall determine whether a proposed course of special study or research belongs to Letters or to Science. The Register of Women Students shall mean the Register established under the provisions of Sect. XIV of this Title, 'Of the Delegacy for Women Students,' and the words Registered Woman Student shall have the same meaning as that which they have in the said Sect. XIV.

§ 2. Of the Admission of Women Candidates for Certificates in Letters and in Science.

1. Any woman candidate may be admitted to a course of special study or research as a Student for a Certificate in Letters or in Science by the Board of the Faculty to which the subject of her course belongs, provided that she has satisfied the following conditions:

(1) She must be not under the age of twenty-one years.
(2) Unless either (a) she has passed the Examinations
required of members of the University of Oxford or
of Cambridge for the Degree of Bachelor of Arts, or
(b) she has taken a Degree in Arts or in Letters
or in Science at some other University in the United
Kingdom, she must have given evidence, satisfactory
to the Education Committee constituted by Statt.
Tit. VI. Sect. IV. § 2. cl. 8, that she has received a
good general education.

2. The application for admission as a Student for the Certificate in Letters or in Science of a Woman Candidate shall be sent to the Assistant Registrar through the Delegacy for Women Students, and shall be accompanied by

(1) Evidence of the age of the Candidate.

(2) If she has not passed the Examinations required of members of the University of Oxford or of Cambridge for the Degree of Bachelor of Arts, evidence that she has taken a Degree in Arts or in Letters or in Science at some other University in the United Kingdom, or

such evidence of her previous education as she desires to lay before the Education Committee aforesaid. (3) A statement of the subject and nature of her proposed course of special study or research.

(4) Evidence of her fitness to enter upon such course. 3. The Assistant Registrar shall bring the application of any Candidate who has satisfied the conditions of clause 1 of this subsection before the Board of the Faculty to which her proposed subject belongs for its approval.

Such approval shall not be granted unless the Board is satisfied (1) that the Candidate is well fitted to pursue the course of special study or research on which she proposes to enter, (2) that the course is one which may be profitably pursued under the superintendence of the Board.

4. A Board shall have power (a) to appoint a Standing Committee of its own members to consider the applications of Candidates and to report to the Board, (b) to appoint a Committee of Graduate members of the University, or other competent persons, to consider the application of any particular Candidate and to report to the Board.

5. It shall be the duty of the Assistant Registrar to notify the decision of the Board to the Delegacy for Women Students as soon as may be, and a Candidate whose application has been approved by the Board shall be admitted as a Student for the Certificate in Letters or in Science so soon after such notification as she shall have paid the statutable fee of £5 to the Delegacy; provided that no Candidate shall be so admitted unless she is, or until she has become, a Registered Woman Student.

6. Any Candidate may with the permission of the Board alter the subject and nature of the course of special study or research which has been approved for her by the Board, and the date on which such permission has been granted shall be reckoned as the date of her admission for all the purposes of this Section, unless the Board shall otherwise order on the ground that the change is not of a substantial character.

Application for such permission shall be sent to the Assistant Registrar through the Delegacy for Women Students.

§3. Of the Supervision of Students for Certificates in
Letters and Science.

1. A Board may appoint one or more Graduate members of the University or other competent persons to superintend the work of any student admitted as aforesaid. Persons so appointed shall be styled Supervisors.

It shall be the duty of a Supervisor to direct and superintend the work of a Student, but not to give her systematic instruction. The Board may at any time request a Supervisor to report to it concerning the work of a Student.

2. A Board shall have power to direct that a fee shall be paid for supervision, provided that the amount of such fee shall not exceed £2 per Term for any Student.

When a Board orders such a fee to be paid, the Assistant Registrar shall notify the fact, as soon as may be, to the Delegacy for Women Students, who shall inform the Supervisor and the Student. The fee shall be paid by or on behalf of the Student to the Supervisor before the end of each Term for which it is due.

§4. Of the issue of Certificates.

1. Any Student who has completed her course of special study or research and embodied the results thereof in a dissertation, and has satisfied the other conditions hereinbefore prescribed, may at any time not earlier than the third term after that in which she was admitted apply to the Board of the Faculty for a Certificate that the work done by her in her course of special study or research is of a high standard of merit. Such application shall be sent to the Assistant Registrar through the Delegacy for Women Students, and shall be accompanied by two copies, or if special leave has been obtained from the Board, one copy, of the dissertation, and by a certificate from the Delegacy that the Student's name has been continuously on the Register of Women Students since the date of her admission and that she has satisfied all necessary conditions hereinbefore prescribed. A Student shall, on applying for a Certificate, pay to the Delegacy a fee of £5.

2. On receipt of any such application, the Delegacy for Women Students shall inform the Supervisor or Supervisors of the Student, if any were appointed, and shall send to the Assistant Registrar with the application any report that the Supervisor or Supervisors may desire to make. The Delegacy shall at the same time report to the Assistant Registrar whether the fee for supervision (if any such fee has been ordered by the Board) has been duly paid. The Assistant Registrar shall thereupon lay the application and the report, if any, before the Board of the Faculty, which shall appoint two Examiners whose duties shall be (1) to consider the dissertation sent in by the Student with her application, (2) to examine the Student publicly in the subject of such dissertation and in matters relevant to her course of special study or research,
