Women Professors.

What is there so incongruous in a
woman professor in universities, where
men are educated with women? This is
the question Mrs. M. Louise Thomas and
others are asking, who are trying to
raise funds to endow woman's chair in
a northern university. Why is it that a
woman teacher is deemed SO necessary
through all the grades, from the primary
to those of the graduating class of the
high school, and yet she should be
deemed SO pernicious and disastrous in
colleges? Whether these are good rea-
sons or not, the experiment is to be
given a fair trial, for very recently the
bill providing for a woman professor
ship at the State University of Michigan
has become law.
Not far behind comes the news also
that the University of Denver, which
numbers about 800 students, has con-
ferred on II woman the honor of naming
an important professorship after her
that of literature-to be known here
after as the Mary Lowe Dickinson chair
of bellies letter, which chair has just re-
ceived as an endowment from ex-Gov-
ernor John Evans the sum of 10000
