Queen Margaret College is the name given to the women's side of the
University of Glasgow; all applications from women for entrance to the
University must be made through the College.
In Cambridge, all women students must be members of either Girton or
Newnham College, and can only receive permission to attend University
lectures or examinations through the College.
In Oxford, the body of Home Students ranks as a College, and has a
Principal.
The following Universities are ancient foundations:—Cambridge, Oxford,
Durham, Aberdeen, St. Andrews, Edinburgh, Glasgow, Belfast (Queen's
College), and Dublin (Trinity College). The other Universities are
grouped together as "Modern." The Scottish Universities, however,
being chiefly non-residential, and situated in large cities, have many
features in common with the modern group.
