March 27th, 1922
Dear Sir,
I have to inform you that the following Resolutions were passed at the Annual Council Meeting of the Nation Union of Societies for Equal Citizenship:-
…………………………………………………………………………………………..
CAMBRIDGE DEGREES AND UNIVERSITY MEMBERSHIP
“That this Council resolves that the N.U.S.E.C. should help to promote Parliamentary action to enable women to obtain full degrees and membership of Cambridge University. Further, that this Council urges that Parliament withhold grants from funds contributed by women as well as men for the support of any British University which refuses to admit women to equal membership.”
Yours faithfully,
