TnE WoMES GRADUATES OF WESTERN Col
LEcEs.-Study here does not produce the
direlul effects described by DR. Clarke; for,
as We look along the list of former graduates
of our colleges and inquire into their state.
we find them almost universally having no
need of doctors, but the healthy mothers of
happy families, innocent alike of bodily pain
and nauseating drugs. We recall the names
of Lucy Stone, Mrs Tracy Catler. and a host
of others of wonderful health and endurance,
and we remember that these strong and
healthy bodies were maturcd under the strict
discipline. the regular and uninterrupted
study, Of Oberlin. We see in our minds
eye Antoinettc Brown. who finished the full
college course, and is still strong. young and
blooming, although an author, preacher,
and the mother Of five healthy children.
And then in another college the results
would almost seem to show that women en-
dure constant study far better than men. for
we recall two young women, sister graduates
Of the college, who married two young men,
graduates OF the same college the two
young women are both strong and healthy
mothers, likely to live to old age; but they
are both widows. Another Young woman
graduated and married classmate who gra-
duated with her ; the young women is very
successful teacher and mother of a pleasant
little family, but her husband is the victim
of epilepsy. In another case, young wo-
man graduated and married a man from the
same college the weakness and imbecili ty
of the man has for some years thrown upon
the wife the burden of supporting herself
and children, of which she has several. In
another instance family OF three daughters
and one son were all in the college together;
all went through the regular course. of
the three daughters, no one has ever been
afflicted with any disease--they are all strong
and well-only the son was stricken down
and fingered for months, suffering from in
flammatory rheumatism. A talented young
man who graduated from the same college
became insane several Others who have
graduated within the last ten years have
died. Now this does not show that study is
destructive to the male sex I; it is simply a
singular circumstance that from college
which has graduated twenty-seyen women
nearly the entire number shonld be unusual
ly strong and healthy, while so many of the
male graduates have fallen victims of disease.
The women graduates of oar western colleges
for joint education are generally able to out
talk, out-walk, out-study. any of the men Of
their acquaintance.-"A Western Woman"
