After expressing her great pleasure at
being able to meet and address the
students, she compared the educational
facilities for girls now with those of
fifty or sixty years ago. In the course
of her remarks she said: Il believe
there is no college OF university in all
this Northwest which is not open
equally to young men and young
women / distinctly remember the
speeches that used to be made by the
lawyer, doctor or minister who would
visit us, when l was a little girl in
school. They always ran like this.
Young men and boys: You want to
appreciate the wonderful advantages
which you have in this free country,
with all our free institutions and free
schools. The poorest of you who uses
his advantages, does well and makes
himself useful. may have his chances TO
be president of the United States equal
with the son of the wealthiest man in
all our community These men rarely
mentioned the girls at all, but when

DR.. Sperry, of Carlton college, lee

on 1.-THE Conditions of Health and
Longevity" The lecture was one of
great interest and profit. The speaker
drew his illustrations largely from the
Bible, in order. as he said, that
they might be fresh and new to his
audience. His story of the man who
has never had a wife, and who was
'tOrn that way" struck a sympathetic

Hon. Ignatius Donnelly will deliver a
lecture on 'Wit and Humor'' at All

Monday evening, Nov. II. An admis-

The university has some characters of
lmuch interest to the students of genu-
ene freaks and cranks. There are very

The Pan-Americans don't know what
