1926 University of Oxford – Admission Requirements & Regulations For Sale

Original University of Oxford information leaflet dated March 1926 and published by Oxford University Press. This single folded sheet is printed on both sides and provides a fascinating look at university admission procedures, colleges, academic regulations, and student life in England nearly a century ago.

One side is headed "UNIVERSITY OF OXFORD – STATUTES, REGULATIONS, &c." and advertises official university publications, including:

• University Calendar and Statuta Universitatis Oxoniensis
• Examination Statutes for the academic year 1925–1926
• Examination regulations and schedules for 1925–1927
• Admission requirements, residence, entrance scholarships, and examinations
• School of Medicine programs, degrees, and postgraduate research
• Faculties for Advanced Studies and Research

The reverse, headed "ADMISSION TO THE UNIVERSITY," explains that prospective students were required to become members of a college, hall, or recognized non-collegiate student society before applying for admission to the university.

It lists the university's men's colleges, including Balliol, Brasenose, Christ Church, Magdalen, Merton, New College, Trinity, and others, along with their respective admission officers.

Women's institutions are listed separately, including Lady Margaret Hall, Somerville College, St. Hugh's College, St. Hilda's Hall, and Oxford Home-Students.

The leaflet also provides special instructions for overseas students.

A handwritten annotation concerning non-collegiate students reads, "They stay at different licensed lodgings."

Published just six years after Oxford began awarding degrees to women in 1920, this leaflet offers an interesting glimpse into university administration and admission practices during the interwar period. The separate listings of men's and women's institutions reflect the educational arrangements of the time.

Good vintage condition with age-appropriate toning, original folds, and a brief handwritten annotation. Complete single sheet printed on both sides.

An interesting original piece of Oxford University history for collectors of British educational memorabilia, university history, and early 20th-century ephemera.
