discussion Up home the other day, in
which this question OF higher education OF
women was considered In regard 10 its ef-

nation. There were several professors ami

all the higher branches OF learning would
eventually have tendency TO reduce the
intelligent population. The reason for this
was found in the fact that girl graduates
steer clear of matrlmony. II was shown

who have received diplomas at Nassar Col

other directions were equally as alarming
