Lectures to Ladies

Abstract

IN the fourth number of NATURE there is a letter signed “M.” on this subject, in which it is asserted that nearly all the women who most wish to attend these lectures, and who would most benefit by doing so, “are practically shut out from those at South Kensington and at University College, because none of the lectures are given in the evening.” Your correspondent gives South Kensington credit for saying something about “persons engaged in tuition,” but she adds that it is a mere mockery, as this very fact prevents their getting out in the daytime.
