Birmingham University and Mrs. Osler: On July 5th, the Birmingham University conferred the Honorary Degree of Master of Arts on Mrs. Osler, President of the Birmingham Society, who was also for some years a member of the Executive Committee. In presenting Mrs. Osier for the degree, the Principal, Sir Oliver Lodge, said that the University of Birmingham, where women were on an exact equality with men, was glad to number among its graduates one who had worked so long and arduously for the emancipation and welfare of her sex. In all, eleven Honorary Degrees were conferred, three of the recipients being women, Mrs. George Cadbury and Mrs. Hume Pinsent sharing the honour with Mrs. Osler.
