Co-education is far more thorough,

itself. The University of Michigan

these the most interesting for many
reasons is the women's quadrangle.
Where but in Chicago would Il uni

with its women? What other school
would put Women's houses and look on
with serenity at the life of the women's
commons, separated only by Il few
rods of green sward from the mems
dormitories? 1t was an experiment
that the university itself was half
afraid of, and yet the result has been
to give the women students such a full
ness of university life as they get no
where else in America, and ut the same
time to keep them under such supervi-
sion as is impossible in colleges at once

gave the money to build them-Kelly
