Alice Stone Blackwell is a trustee of Boston university, but that is "Co-ed' school Also Rebecca Rice was and probably is still a trustee of Antioch college at Yellow Springs, O., but that too, is school for both sexes. lr .10 colleges where it is esteen0G tns proper thing to fence girls off alone during their school years it is usually also esteemed the proper thing to have the boards of trustees composed large ly of doctors of divinity and ministers. do not know what peculiar insight into young woman's heart and brain doctor of divinity has that other men or women do not have, but do know they mostly govern girls, just as in the old time they used to boss female seminaries. Perhaps this was well enough in the days when the clergy had most of the learning, but now, when there are hundreds of strong, scholarly women throughout the country, it does seem as though feminine judgment ought to be represented in the control of girls education. 1 commend this matter to the attention of the collegiate alumni association, which is doing so much good in elevating scholarship and widening interests among women.

 Dr. Amy G. Bowen, brainy and plucky California girl, has won such honors at Berlin that every woman in America must feel proud of her. She went to Europe to study surgery. She met with little difficulty at Zurich. Even in Vienna she managed to get instruc- tion from the most famous surgeons in that center of medical learning Hay ing finished her work there she went to Berlin. We do not allow female dSC- tors in Germany" she was brusquely told on applying for admission to the clinics of a great surgeon. She stail and argued with him She was good natured and persistent, till at last she wearied him out. For the purpose of discomtiting her and getting rid of her he told her she might present herself at one of his lectures in experimental surgery. He had no faith in either a woman's ability or her bravery, and he thought this would finish Dr. Bowen. But little he knew an American girl. She presented herself, and after much trou- ble was admitted. The men students scowled at her. To rout her utterly the learned professor asked her before the class to diagnose a surgical case. To his amazement she did it correctly. Then the professor looked at the young men. "Gentlemen," said he, "she is right; she has beaten you all." Test after test was applied, every one of which the brave, bright girl bore tri- umphantly. Then suddenly the jeering was changed to enthusiastic admiration, and the rugged professors could not say enough in praise of Dr. Bowen. She is treated with distinguished honor by the great lights in the medical profession, and is now the only woman admitted to study at Berlin medical college.
