... that the first women were admitted to Brasenose College, Oxford, in 1974?

This is a really impressive article. It more than meets the DYK criteria (next stop GA/FA?), it's very well written and it's nicely illustrated. I'm necessarily going to have to AGF on the sources since they're offline but the principal sources are clearly reliable and reputable. I'm happy to sign this off.
Regarding the hook, might I suggest as an ALT1: ... that the decision in 1974 to admit women was a key event in the history of Brasenose College, Oxford?
As a general rule of thumb it's a good idea not to hide your article's name behind a piped link. Prioryman (talk) 00:18, 12 July 2012 (UTC)

Well I don't mind either way: clearly the clarity's better with your alt, but I also think it makes it somewhat more boring (certainly more circumlocutory). Probably worth the change though. (It's also GAN-nominated, I'll take it from there.) Thanks, Grandiose (me, talk, contribs) 09:22, 12 July 2012 (UTC)
