Oxford Women Students Face Harsh Limits and Mockery
Hagland Dec 9 reports 32 American girls at Oxford adopting the short gown and bonnetless cap style, with only eight in women’s colleges. Many live in cold lodgings as four colleges are poor, and the Society of Oxford Home Students lacks funds for a college. Dons and fellows view women with mistrust, though not as violently as Cambridge. Women face harassment in lectures and libraries, with admissions restricted and social life increasingly self-formed like Smith or Wellesley.

Compressed ATR Helps Solve Flying Problems
The National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics will use a new variable density wind tunnel at Langley Field Virginia. The 36 by 15 foot tank weighs 2 tons and can sustain air pressures up to twenty times atmospheric pressure. Observers view tests through glass windows while a model airplane on a balance records lift and resistance as air flows. The aim is to improve aircraft design and solve control issues at low speed during takeoff and landing. The independent government panel, including top aviation figures, serves without pay.
