THE COLLEGE woMEN's CLUB
New and Interesting Organizations
Formed For the Beneat of Axpir-
ing Students.

A new association of college-bred wo-
men, unique of its kind, has just been
formed in New York city The young
organizations name. "The College Wo-
mems Club is the index to it's char
acter. It's chief aim is to aid talented
girls of limited means to obtain an ed
ucation at any Of the leading women's
colleges or co-educational institutions
of learning throughout the country, the
beneficiary having the option of choCs-
ing the one most to her liking Funds
will be leaned without interest, but not
given to the candidates, thus preserv-
ing the self-respect of the student bor-

nevolence for TIE time being When
convenient, after graduation, the BEN
eficiary will repay to the society what
ever may have been loaned her, that
some other young woman may in turn
be benefited by the same philan-.
thropy.
Another object of the organization is
to bring about stronger and more help

who affects the military, a bottle of
tonic to the 'agreeably buxom' girl,
etc. At these exercises will be pres
ent only the pupils of the school, and
no one is expected to wear anything
more elaborate than the simple shirt

From to in the evening will be
held in the house the regular graduat-
ing exercises, beginning with salutary

-edictory, after which comes brief
address by some prominent educator
and the presentation of diplomas.
The poem is competitive. Any one
of the classes who chooses may write

teachers to gowns costing not over $780,
This year, the teachers, who strive as
earnestly to teach simplicity in dress as
correct English, hope to accomplish the
same result by limiting the girls to
white organdy. These are to be simply
made-with or without silk Innings
with white satin stock and belt. They
will also exchange class pins of simple
device, upon which is lettered their
class motto, Veritas.

informal reception, and probably some

and other Innovations
A trip to every fashionable school in
New York reveals the fact that the
cnlef aim OF teachers in all high-grade
schools is to reduce to the simplest pos
sible form the exercises of graduating
classes. AT a swell school on Fifth
avenue, l was told that they are elm
mating as rapidly as possible every es-
pecial feature of the occasion: but
they have found it impossible to make
a sudden drop from all the old-time pa
rade and display to nothing but
staid address, their western contin-
gency in particular desiring svu.e-
thing more elaborate.
We still allow them the salutary,
poems and valedictory," said the pre-
cePtress, but we shall ultimately do
away with that and we can be only
too thankful that the days have gone
by when young maidens are expected
to hold forth on subjects that they
don't know any more about than
rabbit knows about a war horse"
AT this school the seniors will have
in the morning an hours exercise, con-
sisting of history. class songs and
prophecy, and the giving of joke prizes

member, when taking trip to New

city, and would find herself at once in
the midst of friends and pleasant as
sociations.
There will be no branches of the club
in other places. but it is hoped that the
feminine college element in the large
cities will follow the New York lead
and form similar associations, when
bond of fellowship would naturally
arise among them all.

associate members. which may include
any man or woman of intelligence and
refinement who is acceptable to the
club. This class will not take part in
the business meetings or affairs, but
will reap all other advantages.
For the first year no initiation fee is
to be asked, and all joining are to be
considered charter members. After
that period an entrance fee will be
charged. The annual dues to begin

Gated near a church which is every

their exercises there, but have reduced
them to an exceedingly simple pro-
gramme. Here, too, however, they still
retain the salutary and valedictory,

are invited, and the gowns are limited
to simple white muslin. A little col

AT the remainder of the first-class
schools in New York, the close of the
year will be marked only by an address
from some prominent educator or
preacher like Lyman Abbott or Haiml-
ton Mabie and the presentation of di-
plomas to the seniors, followed by an
informal reception and breakfast.
Vassar, too, has petitioned for a
change and for the first time in it's
history will this year have no exer-

LIE letllHS SS6IDS 10 De very general
among teachers that while there were
no doubt sweet and stimulating fea-
lures in the old way, it was not with
out certain pernicious elements.
With some it was question in ethics
as to just how far 1.-The sweet girl grad
uate'' had a right to bore a long-suf-
fering public with that same little es-
say tied in its futtering blue ribbons
Then, too, this offensive production
was often source of dire distress to
its fair perpetrator and only achieved
by the mightiestthroes; at season
of the year, too, when she was
already tired with her years work
As one teacher said to me,
the general work of the whole spring
term was more or less sacrificed to
these elaborate preparations for the
closing week. Now regular recitations
go on in the usual manner up to the
very last day.
The moral influence also was thought
to be not altogether of the highest.
There was an increasing tendency to
display, not only in the matter of
gowns and decorations, but in the
equally dangerous tendency to grow
self seeking in the desire to shine in
tellectually.
1t will not do to forget, however, that
it was under stimulating influences
such as these that Thanatopsis ard
many another important work has been
given to the world.
