COLLEGE EDUCATION FOR WONEN

| COLLEGE EDUCATION ron UOHEN'
| We publish this morning large amount OF
| interesting matter on the subject OF the higher
education Of women, having reference paitcu-
arly to the admission of women to COLUMBIA
College. II will be seen that the trustees oil the
college are nearly unanimously opposed to ad
mission. twenty being outspokcn against 1t ana
only two in favor. President Barnard is one OF
| tbe two in favor. and his views, which he has
expressed earnestly and clearly for several
wears. are we'll known Among those who are
opposed arc Bishop Potter, ex-Sccretary FISH,
DR.. Morgan Dix and John }. Townsend lhe'r
| objections are substantially the same Ihey
have no room for women students III the coi-
loco. the provisions of the charter exclude
them. and for moral and physical reasons they
consider their admission wholly lmpractcaDle'
| DIR. Dix is very emphatic in his opposition. lie
has no doubt the proposition will be voted
down as it has been twice already, and for his
mart he will "oppose it to the end. Never with
nv consent will coeducation be introduced into
Columbia College" Ex-Secretary Fish il no
less emphatic. There is n direct conflict be
tween President Barnard and the opposing
trustees on the question of room. 1hcy say
there is none for women. He says there Is, and
that the admission of women is both practicable
and expcdient.
In addition to these home opinions on this in
teresting subject we publish also several valu-
able letters from eminent educators abroad who
speak from personal knowledge concerning the
success of cOcducation in other countries.
These furnish conclusive answers to many Of
the objections urged here, and are sufficient to
convince any friend of education that the sub
ject is one TO command the calmest and most
careful thought. Whether the trustees OF CO.
lumba are acting wisely or not in their opposi-
ton is not question for us to decide. They
have studied the interests of their college more
closely than anyone else, and we must at least
accord to them sincerity in their views. For
ourselves, We should be glad to see Columbia
thrown open to women under proper regulations
and restrictions. We do not believe many
women would take advantage of it, but we
should be glad to see them have the oppOrtu-
nifty. There is, however something to be said
on both sides, and the discussion is one which
is destined to remain with us for many years.

Slowly outward day by day, and the russell oi
the bills warm almost imperceptibly into the
tendercst green.
The April we are just leaving cannot be
accused of having rushed us into mid-sprng
weather without ailording MS time to note the
nleasing signs of budding promise as we hurried
on. One day IT was peculiar soltness III the
air: the next it was fringe of pendant catkins
from the boughs of the poplar again 1t was me
Frightening sheen upon the needles OF the pine
or n spange of colfs-foot 0r dandelIon upon
the warmer green of the turf or an opaleScent
sheen gathering upon the distant hills, glitter
of blO0drOOt bloom, golden vapor OF opening
leaves upon some distant willow, suggestion
of fragrance from unseen flowers, or the iar-
away note of some returning bird. or all these
and thousand other vcrnal appeals to the
sense and the Imagination, not one can be en-
loyed a second time with the keen relish Of ITS
first experience. With its promise interpreted
and treasured it passes into the realm of every
day and more or less commonplace phenomena.
One such prophecy sullices to ilumine whole
day; and when prophecies are scattered through
a month, bringing fresh surprises every morn
ing, the sum total of enjoyment we receive
from them is certainly no less than 1t would be
if they were crowded together in a single
week of rapidly advancing season In every
one of these April days, with their eyer-broad-
cning light as the sun has journeyed upward
from the South, Nature has whispered some dis
tinct encouragement to look forward with
renewed hopcfulnoss. In all the past there
never was an April which taught its lessons
quite as pleasantly and thoroughly Next April,
however, will have glory of its own to show,
and if we grow wiser we shall find it overflow
ing with still farer promise.

1pRIL Dd Us.

If We mark the years advance by any we'll
defined event like the appearance of the
pioneer bueb1d, the piping of the earliest
hylas in the marshes, or the first loOsening of
the alder tasses, a variation of full month
will be found between the sO-called early
wears and late ones. These appearances, how
ever, are only registers OF progress made, and
of course they prove dclusive if looked upon as
climatic prophecies. The spiral line of gold
which winds about the chocolate scales of the
alder catkin measures the sunshine Of the
March weather which has already warmed it.
The note of the "pecpcr" proves that spring
has come so close to HIM that the frozen music
in his throat begins to thaw. Like any other
thermometer, these vernal sights ard sounds
are a record of past or present temperature and
not a promise of weather to come. There
should be no surprise CT disappointment, then,
that Mayday finds the season backward which
month ago was several days ahead of the Al
manac The crimson of the early maple KEYS
was grateful response to the soft influences of
a mild February and March, but unlike Mr.
Vennor and Mr.. WoOdchuck the naples never
pretended to fOresee the frOsts which April
had in store.
A cold raw month indeed has April been, with
more catarrh and pneumonia in the air than
waited odors from wild flowers or bursting leaf
buds. But who ever saw an April which was
not trihe mole delightful than the April of
the year before? Every April has its playful
universities and with each return its tantalizing
waywardneSs is invested with fresh charm
1t is the month of promise and of hope and not
OF mellowed maturity. Whether it slowly and
suddenly filings all its banners out with "a burst
of melody and fragrance, it is the time when we
look forward most eagerly to the unfolding fu-
ture. The specific charm of the season is its
mperfectiOn. Not the imperfecton which I'M
plies deterioration and decay, but the incom-
peteness which carries with it the promise of
development and ripening 1t is the progress
which we enjoy, and the slower the pace the
longer we have to enjoy it, The leisurely APP
prosch of day in our cool latitude, from the
dim light of the dawn through all the gathering
glories of the morning until the perfect day, is
surely not to be despised when compared with
the sudden food of light which comes pouring
out of the darkness at tropical sunrisng
There are years when the sober drab of the
meadows is transformed into emerald almost
within the space Of single day, and such
day is one TO be remembered. But there is an
other deli ght which comes from watching the
verdurous margins of the streams broaden

TIE FESTIVAL PROGRAMMES.

The programmes of the festival concerts this
week convey high compliment on the part of
the conductor both to his audiences and To his
chorus. The principal works chosen for per-
Torrance are excessively hard to sing. and sew
era of them will not be appreciated except by
persons of real musical taste. They belong to
the very highest class Of compositions. One
the Beethoven Mass-is properly placed among
those colossal manifestations of genius which
so far transcend ordinary agencies Of express
sion that the best attainable execution must al
ways fall short i'll some details of the exactons
of the score, and nothing more can be asked of
the interpreters in certain exceptional passages
than faithful shadOwing forth of the com
poscrs mighty ideas. Such works will pro-
foundly impress sensitive listeners, but they
will necessarily be more or less of puzzle 10
the needless. Theodore Thomas. however. has
so much confidence in the people of New \ DIRK
that he las not hesitated to place the festival
upon the most exalted plane. 1t seems to us
that it would not be possible to arrange a
scheme of concerts more clearly marked by the
note of grandeur.
The selections for the opening night make an
appropriate introduction to the more difficult
tasks of Wednesday and Friday. The Bach
Cantata and the Handel Jubiate are compare
lively simple and clear but they are not less
digniGcd in spirit than the Mass and the Ora
torio and inasmuch as they are particularly
well adapted to display the quality of the
chorus we shall not be surprised if they give
more pleasure to a large section of the public
than the larger things that are to follow them
The addition of the Jupiter Symphony makes
the first programme slngularly effective. The
same pieces were given at the opening of the
last festival in Cincinnati and the experience
of that evening showed that the result was II
combination of soemnty and beauty not easy
TO surDaSs.

The new departure in Irish affairs Is dweit
upon at length in our cable dispatch. RumorS
of the release of Mr.. Parnell and some or MS
associates are sustained by the belief that the
Prisoner of Kilmainham is the man who drafted
the Redmond bill. The probable withdrawal
of Mr.. Forster from the supervision OF Ireland
is reported. THIS would not cause great sur
prise. Many warm supporters OF Mr. Glad
stone have urged it, suggesting that an IRISH
man should be put in his place. But on no
other ground it was said, would such pro-
posal be advanced or considered. Mr.. ForStcrs
management probably could not be improved
upon by any Englshman; but an lrishman in
Dublin Castle would be soothing to the Irish
race 1t would be appropriate sequel to the
alliance of the Liberals and the Home Rulers

An Englishmans notes on Anglo American
matrimonial alliances will be found on another
page, in new instalment of an occasional
London correspondence with The TRIBUNE
which Is singulary rich in the sort of social Cos
sip that only an insidcr and an Englshman can
furnish. The incident which opens the way for
"reminiscences of the false and tickle Pagets
and for general reflections upon the amalgama-
ton of English coronets and American dollars
is Lord Anglescy's desertion of his wife, once
known as the Belle of Georgia" The story as
it was originally told was still more scandalous'
as the Marquis was represented not only as
running away from his third wife, but with
another woman. The last charge has been
denied by his friends, but the story as 1t re-
mains is bad enough.

Those lovers of football who have shivered
in disgust at the Polo Grounds during bleak
November afternoons while watching college
students engaged in a contest which was a
mere exhibition of pushing i'll the mud, may
take heart. Representatives of Harvard,
Princeton, Columbia and Yale have changed
the rules so as to do away with what Is
known as the "block system" of play. There
will now be chance for sport that may be
entertaining to spectators az well as players.

after the death of the last one, the bulk OF their
estate was to go to such charities as she might
direct. So Miss Sarah Burr left three millions IN
charity for about fifty-six different objects.
Her relatives now contest the will on almost
every ground that is possible. Every adn-

that it is the part of ante-mOrtem wisdom ior

of 124 to II, and Mr.. Lynch now takes the
seat from which he has been so wrongfully
excluded Despite the promises of their lead

ter and were exceedingly unhappy when they
could not prevent quorum. This decision OF
the House will do much to encourage Repub-

Bourbon rule and election frauds. They will
feel that, although man not rightfully elected
may take seat in Congress he cannot hold it.
