Content and context

Thanks for lending the article; shocked that such a subject should be discussed in popular magazine (Spectator) but of same opinion as the article; competitive examinations as injurious to health of men as well as women. Present system of examination fit for schools, not university. That horrid word "ladylike"; people are afraid of real womanliness and try hard to produce a stunted artificial imitation. Necessity of physical exercise. All fields open to men should be open to women; nothing too hard, unsuitable, unfeminine. Apologies for writing at such length.
