Four great institutions. hoary St Andrews
and young Chicago. Brown and Tufts. admit
women to all their privileges and honors: two
others. Yale and the University OF Pennsylva-
mia. open their postgraduate courses for tho
first time to women Without othar cere-
monies than chapel exercises. tho University
OF Chicago opened on Oct l with women
among its officers and professors. while among
its 600 students enrolled nearly one-third are
women. About thirty women students are
registered at Yale. and tho time OF regis
tration does not expire until Novem-
ber. This new movement at Yale places
women on an equality with mon in the
pursuit OF the highest learning possible In
America Its very inception is already q sue
cess but it Is to be regretted that there Is at
Yale no such institution as the mathematical
tripos OF Cambridge. by which compa arative
test OF tho ability Of men and women students
may be made. There Is. however. a prize
