The women-students have been placed under the super¬ vision of a Lady Registrar, the office being at present held by Miss Lucy Gwynn, daughter of the Regius Professor of Divinity.
Women's literary, debating, and athletic societies have been formed, and rooms and extra-mural playing fields have been allotted for their use.

Becommendations.
It will thus be seen that women enjoy full admittance to teaching, examinations and degrees in the Faculties of Arts, Medicine and Music.
They are excluded from
(a) the other Professional Schools.
(b) Fellowships.
We hope that any Professional School which might be useful to women (as, ior instance, commerce or agriculture) will be opened to them, should the demand arise.
With regard to Fellowships, if, as we hope, changes be made in the mode of election of Fellowships, we trust that women will be no longer debarred from holding them, and that women of conspicuous ability or of distinction in special pursuits may have academic posts and careers open to them, to the benefit no less of the University than of themselves.
From the terms of reference we perceive that your Com¬ mission will take into consideration the evidence and report of the Royal Commission of 190), and that your report will
have reference to the whole question of University Education in Ireland.
We earnestly hope that the principle advocated by our association—the giving to women-students in Uni¬ versities the same educational advantages, in every possible respect, as men-students enjoy—may be supported by your Commission in regard not only to Trinity College, but also to the Royal University and the colleges connected with it, or any other institution that may be established in Ireland.
_
In conclusion, we shall be glad to appoint delegates to give any additional evidence that may be desired.
We have the honour to remain, Gentlemen,
Yours faithfully, (Signed) Isabella Mtjlvant, b.a.,
