In the London University Honours lists, which came out on,
Saturday last, the girls took a very remarkable place. The first, in the English Honours list for the preliminary B.A. examine-- tion was a girl, though one past the age for taking the Scholar- ship ; and there were two other girls in . that first class of only six. In the German Honours list, two of the first class, con- sisting of only four, were girls. In the Mathematical Honours list for the examination common to the preliminary B.A. examination and the preliminary Bachelor of Science examina- tion, the first was a girl, from Girton College—Miss Scott,— again too old for the exhibition, and one of only three in this class, having beaten both her male competitors. The first in, the honours list for Anatomy in the preliminary Bachelor of Medicine examination was a girl, Miss Prideanx, of the London School of Medicine for Women, who had beaten both her Guy's: Hospital rivals ; and one (the last) of the three placed in. the first class of the Honours list for Materia Modica and Phar- inacentical Chemistry was also a girl, or, perhaps we should -say, a woman. That is a pretty good score for women, who have been only so lately admitted into the field of competition.
