William Lloyd Garrison has great
faith IN the refining power Of woman,
II would seem, from his address on co.
education before the Woman's Sufliage
Association. According TO his idea,
the separation Of the sexes In college Is
socially unwise. The criticism that he
would make applies to Wellesley, Vas.
sar, and Smith, ns well NJ TO Harvard,
Yale, and Princeton. The monastic
system there obtaining helps TO per.
petuste Injurious and artificial social
distinctions beyond the college walls.
The remedy which he recommends
for undergraduate excessee among men
IL co.educAtion, To quote his words:
Throw open the doors OF Harvard To
women on equsl terms, absorb the an.
mex Into the college proper, and as the
night follows day scholarship will rise
aud dissipation fall by the law OF gravi.
tation. The moral atmosphere will
find immediate publication and the
daily association Of brothers aud sisters
In intellectual pursuits impart breadth
Of view which Is AN educatlpn In itself
Then the double and
false standards Of Judgment will be-
abandoned What Ia morality for
Harvard will no longer be deemed de.
structive for Wellesley. The current
philosophy Of Cambridge holds that n
man may commit acts anu indulge IN
sights that would damage for life the
reputation and prospects Of n woman
student. Among Harvard's beneiact.
ors, how many generous aud dlstin.
guished women are enrolled. Their
gifts are ever welcome, but Its degrees
are not for female hands. In Mhs-a.
chusetts, where for forty years the
struggle for equality has found it,
ablest champions, the prizes OF learning
most coveted are disdainiully withhel,
from women. hope my children will
live TO see woman president OF Harv-
ard College, and the thought Of rex
relegated to tile monasteries and nun.
