DARTMOUTH's WOMAN MASTER
Miss Katherine MOrilantt Juint Who
Received n Degree.

History was made a; Dartmouth
college Wednesday in comforting the
degree of master of arts on Miss Kath-
crime Mordantt Quint. daughter of the
Rev. A. H. Quint, u Dartmouth alum
nus. and a trustee of the college Miss
Quint was the first young woman ac-
copied by the trustees for poSt-grad-
uate course, and her fine scholarship,
in their opinion, justifies the new de-
parture. though the doors will still be
closed to all but men for the under
graduate course.
Miss CUNTS acceptance by the
trustees was due wholly to her own
eNertionS. and came as the result of
her petition to President Tucker. of
Dartmouth college. asking for The priv
ilege of taking Il postgraduate course.
She was already Il graduate of Welles-
ley class of 80. and. while there. was
member of the Shakespearean soc-
ETY. and one of the staff of editors of
the first 'Legenda." Later. she taught
in Tabor academy, Marion, and on
leaving to continue her studies at Dart
mouth, received years leave of alb
sence. Now that she has secured her
degree of master Of arts. and complet-
ed her advanced studies in Greek and
English, with Greek as a major course,
1t is her intention to resume her posi-
ton as teacher at Tabor academy.
where she has already taught two
years with decided success.
ut Is nothing wonderful" said Miss
Quint. in speaking Of her post gradu-
ate course. ut is. after all, only what
Yale has already done for woman, al
though. to be sure, Harvard Is as vet
to come forward 10 share her real hon.
Ors with us. President Tucker has
been delightfully."- pleasant about the
innovation. and says he does not see
why the privilege of postgraduate
study at Dartmouth. which is granted
to the graduates of brother colleges,
should not be conceded to the gradu-
ates OF sister colleges as well. He
makes no great point Of 1t at all. Men
who graduated from other colleges
may take postgraduate courses at
Dartmouth by becoming resident stu
dents at the college. and in allowing
women the privilege the trustees sim.
ply broaden the statement and saw
that the graduates of other colleges.
not specifying whether they are men
or women. are eligible to take the

Many are not aware Of the fact that relief
work to the extent OF not less than 100000 has
already been carried out in Turkey during the
pAst three months, under the direction
Of strong and representative commit

Just received from Constantinople dated De-

been forwarded to Cessrea, and that It is nov
possible to forward large amounts Of money to
those engaged in this work in the devastated

this work.
Il seems Incredible that while the Turkish
government is permitting such relief work it
should exclude the Red Cross, which. as is well
