It is, I must admit, one of the functions of a committee to report progress, at the end of the year, to the association to which it owes its existence.
Nothing remains to be done but to devise the means for carrying it out.
I have for my part no longer such enthusiasm for voluminous letter-writing in the cause of women as I had in the days when the Association of Collegiate Alumnae fellowship was young. But I have found widespread interest in the scheme, not only among the good but impecunious, but also among a number of those happy individuals who have only to choose what one of the various alluring good projects presented to them they would most like to endow. The actual step of endowment these individuals have not vet taken, but I do not yet despair of their doing so. I will recall to your minds in a few words the character of the scheme which it is here proposed to carry out. If they were men, the next step for them would be to become instructors and assistant professors in colleges and universities.
