The GIRL GRADUATES
Dr. Dreher then stated that with re-
spect TO the young women who have COM
pleted the course of study. the faculty
recommended that. in accordance with
the conditions uneer which they entered
classes as special students, and not as
candidates for degrees. the trustees au-
thorize the president Of the College 10
issue 20 each OF these young women a
certificate duly signed by him. and fur
ther attested by the College seal, stating
the holder thereof has completed the
course of study i'm Roanoke College IT
the trustees should hereafter admit wo-
men 10 all the privileges OF the lnstitu-
ton. including diplomas, the holders or
the certificates should be assured that
they will receive their degrees IN accord
ance with such action. The faculty does
nor recommend that such degrees be
conferred at this time. because they De
neve that the College is not prepared
i'm material equipment and otherwise TO
adnit women TO full privileges; that IL
would not subserve the best interests OF
re Institution 50 10 admit them at pres
emf. and further. that. outside OF salem,
there seems 10 be very little demand that
Roanoke should adopt fully the sysem OF
co-education. While making these rec
concentrations TO the trustees. the faculty
wish 10 bear cordial testimony TO the
ability and success Of the young ladies'
i'm their studies. and TO the good influence
exerted by their presence at the Col
