§ MR. JACOB BRIGHTasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department, Whether in the charter for a Northern University the same powers will be given for granting degrees to women as have been conferred on the London University?
MR. ASSHETON CROSS, in reply, said, that the Committee of the Privy Council, to whom the Petition had been referred, had called on the promoters of the University to subject a draft charter for their consideration; but, as a matter of fact, it was not yet known whether the promoters wished to have degrees granted to women or not.
