Mr. Fish read both the petition and the letter and
said that both were entitled TO great respect lie
added that he had looked the list of signatures
and had found very many prominent names there
The memorial was oourteously received and
without any discussion beiug had on
Its merits, the Rev. DIR. Morgan Dix
made motion that ii should be referred to
spccla committee 10 be appointed Dy the chairman
whl should submit a report on tho paper az the
next meeting OF the Board The motion was
carrie, and sir. Fish appointed the follow ng com
SchermrThOrn DR.. Cornelius X. A2new, the Rev.
Dr. t. ) Chambers and John j. Townsend.
When reporter Of The TRIBUNE nd intery iews
with tho trustees lasI April regarding the admls-
sion of women to umGia College, Dr. Dix SAID
that no was opposed To coedu, alton III gen raj
and especially so IN regard 10 its III
trodu,t ton In Columbia. Mr.. Schermerhorn
sand that ne lid not tnInk there was room enough
IN the buildings To war; mt the admission OK women
students. DR.. Agnew was nOn-commt al on the
subject bat said III general 10 ms tat the henli OF
women would be Melted by giving them thor
ough education. DR.. Chambers did not tnink that
women needed the rigid discipline OF college
education, while Mr. IOwnseud SAID that If possible
he would have women admit ed 10 tho same
examinations hat tho present students undergo.
When asked how tnat end could be attair ed
without having tho studen OF both sexes IN the
same classes he SAID that tho professors would
have 10 teach ths same lessons 10 the boys
IN the morning for Instance, and 10 the girls in the
afternoon.
It has been thought by persons who have
known of The movement that WAS beng mace TO
% zen tho doors of Columbia College To w0meu that
tho u ,titIon had been changed recently. M III
her OF tho association, however. sand last night
mat such was not tue case. The difficulty arose
from tns mis- pprehension of ceriaIn
DER ons who thought that the women
were 10 be admitted 20 the regular classes. The
trus eos had only Ueen asked Ia ext nj TO such
iron rly dual fed women might desire it the
hen IA, \ of education IN the co lege by adj ittng
them TO lectures aud eXami ations. The trustees
are thus lcltt say how much Can De done and how
il eau best be done
