afternoon Of the VaSsar AlumDe Assoc
citation Frances VI. Abbott read an in-
tereSting statistical paper respecting
coilege-bred. women. The question, she
said. is no longer, Can 4 woman get a
college education? but is it eXpedient
for me TO provide one for my daughter?
Many people are still doubtful about
the results. People wish TO know how
a college education affects a woman'S
after life.
The first question everybody asks is,
Do women graduates marry? Ont OF
the whole number of graduates a little
more than 30 per cent. have married.
To speak by the card, at graduation a
college woman stands one chance in
three OF marrying. After ten years the
scales are about even, 80 per cent. near
ly OF the students of that period have
married. After twenty years the
chances are two to three that she is
married. Whether more OF the NaSSar
women would have become matronS If
they had never seen the college IL Is inn

After matrim0ny the profession that
claims the highest number of graduates
is teaching. Many have attained high
rank. One has become registrar of Bar

principal and twenty-three teachers
have been furnished 10 NaSSar from her
own graduates, one Instructor To Mas
SachuSettS Institute of Technology, two
professors aud two teachers TO WelleS-

are at the head OF private schools OF

and normal schools. NJ statistics can
