    cent., 7 per cent.; and for all honour students:—10 per cent., 10 per cent., 10 per cent., 6 per cent.1 The remainder of course in each case report fair health. In tabulating the returns received, it is convenient to arrange them in a smaller number of groups than was done in Table I. Accordingly the Honour Students are divided (1) into students who left before 1887, who are again subdivided into Newnham students, Girton students and Oxford students, (the latter group comprising students of the two Oxford Colleges and of the Oxford Association); and (2) students who left in 1887. As regards these last and also the Three-year (not-honour) students, the Two-year students, and the One- year students the division among the Colleges is not shewn at all. The sisters and cousins are generally classed in two groups only, namely (1) sisters of Honour and Three-year students, and (2) sisters of Two- and One-year students—the word sister being used to include cousins. But the first group is further divided for the purposes of Table III., which shews their health at different periods of their lives, into sisters of students who were at Newnham, at Girton, and at Oxford, and of students who left in 1887. The numbers thus arranged are as follows. Table II. Glassification of Students and of their Sisters.
