The Hall OF Philosophy Of the Cath
Ollie University ut Washington, was ac-
lively and practically opened Thurs
dav. The board Of trustees made no
formal announcement relative to the
admission of women as students, but
the problem, which has caused great
deal OF controversy, seems to be solved
by the matriculation Of two young
women. who today applied for and
were granted admission to the Greek
Academy. It is understood, therefore,
that women may become students of
the university if they can pass the re-
quired entrance examination. Women
may also, it is understood, become
for degrees.

The freeze was an unmitigated blessing
to them. and they luxuriated on frozen
oranges for two weeks afterward. 1t
was fun to see them. They would gather
around the various shipping points, and
when a lot of fruit was ordered to the
cremator they would help themselves be-
fore it was hauled away. Some of the
boys would eat two dozen frozen oranges
at one sitting, or standing, rather, and the
feat did not seem to harm them in the
slightest. Some of the bootblacks and
newsboys made a point of buying 5 cents
worth of frozen oranges every day for
their dinner. They would get a dozen
large ones for a nickel and they would eat
them way down to the yellow hide. A
