College is so emphatically ''Of the peo-
pie and for the people"
He was especially pleased with the
economical system of boal ding, and the
valuable Collections of Apparatus and
Specimens with which to illustrate the
various branches of study. He thought
that teaching science by means of appar-
atus and actual objects, would soon be
recognized as the true methed. He
commended the co-education of the SEX
es. He had listened with delight to the
orations of the young ladies who had
graduated not only on terms of equality,
but equally honorably with the gentle
men. The rights of all to good eduea-
ton were equal, as were their rights to

Faculty who had made the College in
all its departments and appointments, All

ton for Women. He had swept the
whole field, even taking in the political
lquestion now so much considered.
She could not believe that educated
conscientious women conld refuse the
ballot, so generously proffered, when
they knew its meaning and possibilities
When they understood that it meant the
power to secure public temperance, pur
ity and political honesty, she felt tina
no thi mixing woman would dare refuse
the power it would confer for good
Mrs. Cutler spoke at some length on tht
incentives and kind of education needed
for the women of this progressive age.
