THROW THE DOORS OPEN.
LET THE WOMEN OF THE STATE
SHARE THE ADVANTAGES OF
HIGHER EDUCATION.

There is growing CONVICTION
that the State should throw open
the doors of its University to the
women. They are entitled to
this admission in the language OF
the constitution which says:
"The general assembly shall pro-
vide that the benefits of the
University as far as practicable
shall be extended to the youth OF
the State free of expense Of tut
ton" The University has just
completed the first hundred years
of its existence and yet the girls
have never enjoyed the right
which the constitution guaran>
teed and simple justice demand
ed. The most intellectual wo
man, perhaps, that the State has
produced was educated at the
University. She is said to have
stood ahead Of two brothers to1
four years. When graduating
day came around diplomas were
granted to the young men while
this young woman was refused
one.
1.-THE trustees of the University
should decide to admit t h
daughters Of the State to the IN

sprung there are those who WI
