Abstract

AMONGST the few existing institutions for the higher education of women, perhaps none has done better work during the last thirty years in a quiet, unobtrusive fashion than Bedford College, York Place. The recent action of London University in opening its degrees to women has given a fresh impetus to women's education; and Bedford College has set itself the task of providing the training for which London University offers only the test—a task in which it has already achieved such success as to give a sure promise of a brilliant future. The funds, however, at its disposal, derived mainly from the bequest of the late Mrs. Reid, prove inadequate to the strain thus put on its resources, and an appeal for support is now being circulated which deserves the attention of the friends of education. In that appeal details of the work and aim of the College will be found. Space will only allow us to add that subscriptions will be received by the hon. secretary, Bedford College, 8 and 9, York Place, W.
