...possibly be as a college by itself. Both institutions may congratulate themselves on the new relations. We feel sure that the final adjustment of this matter will meet with the hearty approval of members of the University; though co-education in the popular sense of the word will not exist here, under the new arrangement the higher education of young women will be brought much nearer to that of young men and given the place that fairmindedness must admit that it deserves...

These last two regulations are what we might call dead letters on the Oxford statue book; no observance is paid them.
