The President of Michigan University
says Of woman students in his rocont ON
nual report; 1t is worthy of note that the
number of woman in the university has
varied very little during the last three
years. This fact may indicate that we are
not to expect at present any further rapid
increase in the proportion of women to
men in the university. The great majority
OF women will, for the present. probably
seek at least their collegiate education in
schools and colleges established for their
sex alone. But we may well believe that
the opening of this university and of other
colleges to students of both sexes has fur.
nlshed healthful and powerful stimulus
TO those institutions to improve the quality
and widen the range of their work.
