The Women Students: A very delightful entertainment was given to a most appreciated audience at Somerville College on Saturday evening when Miss Maud Douie presented her company of dancers and musicians, two of whom are Somerville students … … … Miss Maud Douie’s own dancing is worthy of very high praise for its grace and lightness, its neatness and finish. Without dominating her partners, she kept them all together and gave the whole thing unity and decision. The most popular dances were probably the Galliard, the Gigue, and the Bourree, and, of course, the Minuet; but it would be difficult to place the Corrente and the Gavotte in anything but the first class of dances, and the sword dance by Miss Pinsent was very pleasing.
