But there is another explanation of these
things in the fact that, in the matter of

little. plays are occasionally produced

(named after the college at which John

plomas. When you get a college of tho
weaker and inferior sex together, beside
one for men, they go ahead and do just AS
good work, make the same advancement in
scholarship and do not need to drink, gam

things! They just know 40 better than to

derstoood when you know that the proper
name of the institution is "The Society for
the Collegiate Instruction of Women"
1t has no connection with Harvard COL
lego as to its government. finances, eto.
Yet, in a sense, it is Harvard. 1t is a sep
arate and distinct institution, having the
same instructors as Harvard, tho same
curriculum. examinations for admission,
and for degrees-in short, as described
by the society itself, "a school for women,
near a college for men, carried on with the
same methods and with the same
educational grade in which all in
work for men in the college. The college rules
and presidents govern in all particulars;
the requirements for admission are simply
those of the college; the examination for
admission are IDENTICAL; the COURSES of in
struction are rapetitions of those given in
the college; and they are given by the Same
instructors; the requirements for the de-
gres certificates are the same as those for
the college degree"-but the girls get no
degree, no diploma, no sheopskin,-only a
certificate. From the fact that all tie re-
quirements for these degree certificates are
the same as a Harvard Experimentation,
course of instruction and examinations be-
ing identical-they have the intrinsic value

ate inst. uction of women is not Harvard,
and has no power to give Harvard degrees.
A fact oocuts to me in connection with
this matter which, to a t%houghtless person
might emphasize the impression of an in
justice. 1t is this: The ages of the Annex
students entering upon the regular course
are less than the corresponding class in Har-
ward college. In 1890 the Annex freshmen
averaged 1719 years, while the Harvard
freshmen averaged 10 and q fraction.
But this is what impresses itself upon my
attention The personal bearing of the An.
mex students-who have no dormitories,
but lodge entirely in the houses of Cam
bridge familiss-has been so universally
satisfactory that there has been no occasion
for discipline of any sort during the twelve
years of the society's existence.
We are often told hat the Irregularities
and occasional high iinks of college boys
must be condoned, and are a sort of natural
necessity to creatures who have youth and
brains, a buhbling over of superabundant
life and snap and energy. I guess this is
