THE many graduates of Bryn Mawr College who have continued their studies abroad, have strongly felt the need of a handbook defining the position of the different foreign universities in regard to the admission of women to their courses, and giving particulars of the lectures, degrees, entrance requirements, etc., of foreign universities and col- leges. Accordingly, in 1896, the Graduate Club of Bryn Mawr College published a Handbook of Courses Open to Women in British, Continental and Canadian Universities containing all the information on the subject which it was possible, in a necessarily limited space of time, to collect. The funds necessary for the purpose were secured through the interest and assistance of the President of Bryn Mawr College. In 1899 it was decided to publish a new edition of the Handbook, and as it was found that practically all European universities and colleges were open to women and that the majority of the facts collected were as valuable to men stu- dents as to women students, the title was slightly modified. The information given in the Handbook has been obtained from the authorities of the different universities and collected from the calendars and other official publications. The facts gathered from these different sources have been put together in a condensed form, and it is hoped that the alphabetical arrangement adopted will be found convenient for reference. The attention of women students is called to the work of the Council to Accredit Women for Advanced Work in Foreign Universities, a committee of the Association of Col- legiate Alumnae. iv PREFACE.

The Graduate Club of Bryn Mawr College is glad to allow members of other colleges to make use of its collection of official programs and calendars ; particular books will be AUSTRIA-HUNGARY. AUSTRIA. (See also Hungary.) The universities of Austria, like those of Germany, are state institutions. They are supported by the Government and are directly subject to the Austrian Minister of Education. With the exception of the university at Czernowitz, which has no Faculty of Medicine, the eight universities of Austria comprise the Faculties of Philosophy (Arts and Science), Law, Medicine and Theology. Courses of lectures, seminary and laboratory work in different subjects are provided by the several faculties, and the degree of Doctor is given to matricu- lated students who have fulfilled certain stated requirements. The entrance requirements for men are similar to those of German universities ; the candidate for admission must hold the Maturitatszeugniss of a gymnasium or a certificate that he has already attended a university. In 1878 the admission of women to the Austrian univer- sities a decree of the Minister of Education was regulated by ; while declaring that there could be no question of a general admission of women to academic courses, he yet made pro- vision for particular cases. Certain courses might, as an ex- ception and with the express sanction of the Minister, be given especially for women, and advanced women students might in addition be allowed to attend the courses held for men, provided that they could in every case obtain the con- sent of the faculty in question, in conjunction with that of the academic senate and the individual professors, with whom work was desired. In no case were women to be allowed to register as students in the universities, but were to be consid- ered as hearers. 2 AUSTRIA. In March, 1897, these regulations were revised, and the following new regulations are now in force : any woman who is a native of Austria and over eighteen years of age is admitted as a regular hearer to the philosophical faculty of an Austrian university, provided she has passed the Reife- priifung of an Austrian State gymnasium or of a foreign gymnasium considered equivalent to this by the Minister of Education. The Dean of the Philosophical Faculty decides on the admission of candidates, but in case of refusal further application may be made to the Minister. Women hearers are under the same regulations as men in regard to registration, matriculation, payment of fees, dis- cipline, attendance at lectures, the Abgangszeugnis and admittance to the philosophical Rigorosen (examinations). Women who have attended certain schools other than those mentioned above, approved by the Minister of Education, are admitted as ausserordentliche Horerinnen to the philosophical faculties but must, except in special cases, register for more than ten hours of lectures weekly. Permission to attend sepa- rate lectures is given to women in exceptional cases only, under the regulation of 1878. A noteworthy decree putting Austrian women who have studied medicine at any foreign university on the same foot- ing as men in regard to obtaining Austrian degrees in medi- cine was published on May ipth, 1896. Women who have passed the Reifeprufung of an Austrian gymnasium, are over 24 years of age and have studied for at least ten semesters at a foreign university considered suitable by the Minister of Education, may proceed to take all the final examinations in medicine, omitting those in Natural Science, and to obtain diplomas on exactly the same conditions as men. The university libraries are open to women. AUSTRIA. 3 The academic year is divided into two semesters, the first, or winter semester, which begins on October ist, and ends on the Thursday before Palm Sunday, and the second, or summer semester, which begins on the first Thursday after Easter and ends about July 3Oth. The system of university fees is in general the same in Austria as in Germany. (See under Germany.) CRACOW, Galicia, Austria. JAGELLONISCHE UNIVERSITAT. UNIWERSYTET JAGIELLONSKI W KRAKOWIE.
