I found these "Ten Dont's for the Women Students"

I found these "Ten Dont's for the Women Students" in a copy of The Isis (an Oxford university student magazine) from June 1919 - one year before the first female students were able to become full members of the university.
Thankfully times have changed.

Today is St Luke's Day patron saint of physicians.
On the right of the picture is St Luke's Chapel,, Oxford built in 19th century as a church for the Radcliffe Infirmary (stone building on the left) which was built with money from the estate of John Radcliffe, who was physician to Queen Anne. The estate also paid for building of the Radcliffe Observatory in the centre of the photo.

100 years ago today the first women at Oxford Univ

100 years ago today the first women at Oxford University were awarded degrees, among them were Ivy Williams who later became the first woman to be called to the Bar of England and Wales and Dorothy L. Sayers who wrote the Lord Peter Wimsey detective novels.

Vera Brittain (Testament of Youth) was there and describes the cheers that went up in the Sheldonian Theatre but also a slight problem. Headgear… the university officials didn’t want women to wear mortar boards so instead opted for a soft, square black cap which was described at the time as being a “ judicious compromise between Portia and Nerissa” but Brittain said had an “unfortunate habit of slipping over one eye.”
