That women are able % make good use
n these privileges Is an ply proved by the
results Of the eXamin atoms. Even in

the men before going up TO college, they
have taken extremely good places from
time TO time; and in those subjects in
which they start fair 5hey have always
come well TO tine fore.

marklJiy well are Miss Scott, of Girton,
who wac eighth wrnugICr, and who is nOw
professor Of mathematics at Bryn-Mawr

The college supplies these with all neces.
sary furniture; the decorations are left to
the taste aud ingenuity Of the student, and
iu most cases they are made to look very
charming. II the student has only one
room, her bed is made in the daytime to
resemble an ordinary couch.-Eleanor
