WOman'S Rights and Duties

Prof. Fairchild, of the Oberlin Collegiate
Institute, has published a Lecture delivered
by him before the Students Of that institution,
in which he undertakes 10 define the Rights
and Duties of Woman. From the circum.
stance that such a production was thought
necessary, we infer that, among the Female
Students, there are some whose independence
OF mind is an annoyance to those who would
iain keep them in their appropriate sphere
The ill-mannered illusions Of the Rev. Pro-
lessor to ABBY Kelly lead us 10 infer that
he and his associates have not yet forgotten
the well-deserved moral castipaiion which
they received at her hands. Their courage
In attacking her seems to increase with the
lapse Of time and in proportion TO her dis
lance from the scene. Mrs. Swisshelm, of
the Saturday Visiter, has replied to Prof. F..
In a manner which will satisfy him that pan.
falcons are not always the badge of superior
liy. Really, this effort 10 mark out for Wo-
man the sphere in which she must move, and
10 restrain her from the cultivation aud ca
erclse Of her intellectual powers in whatever
station she may deem it her duty TO fill, is
unworthy Of the professions which Oberlin
has made in times past. If the Rev. lords
who preside over that institution wish TO
keep Woman in The narrow circle which
they prescribe, there is only one way to do
1t: they must refuse her, as other institutions
do, the benefits Of an Education. Prof. F.
talks Of nature and 'propriety' as wisely
as the pale-faced victims of colorphobia do
when they attempt 10 assign The black man
his place. If nature has settled the ques-
ton, wherefore all this pubbubi Why no,
leave woman TO interpret for herself the law
OF her nature' Wherefore the need of a
company of Llack-coats to keep her from
overlapping the barriers of custom
