From a letter received from Mrs.
Clara Gish Ewing, formerly choir lead
or of this institution, we learn that she
is connected with the Mankato Con-
servatory of Music as teacher of elocu-
ton and vocal music. At a recent
concert, in which Mrs. Ewing took
a leading part, the Mankato papers
speak of her Evolutionary ability in the
highest terms. All who remember her
services here, will be pleased to learn

MIR. Eustis' address throughout re-
ceived the closest attention. He spoke
in conversational tone of voice,
though with .directness and in man. /
ner best suited to his audience. In his
closing remarks, he cautioned them of
the dangers attending release from an
institution of this kind, and advised
against a renewal of old associations.
Warden Wolfer, on behalf of the in
mates, thanked the speaker for his
able address, and also the Letter Car
riers' Band and the ladies and gentle
men who assisted in making the day an
enjoyable one.
Following chapel exercises, the in
mates filed out into the cell building,
where two hours freedom were allowed,
which time was spent in handshaking,
conversation, dancing and singing and
having good time generally. In the
dining room, turkey dinner, with the
usual concomitants, was served, with
CIGARS on the side from both the state
and the Union Shoe and Leather Go.
After dinner, all hands repaired TO the
cells to spend the rest of Thanksgiving
Day in reflection.

Columbia University, with which Barn
ard is affiliated, is the only one OF the
ante-Revolutionary colleges OF America
that has thrown open all its degrees to
women. The students of Barnard educa-
tionally are students Of Columbia; the
curriculum is the same; the examinations
are the same and conducted on the same
dates; the instructors, with one or two
exceptions approved by the president of
Colum bia, are the same, and (the only
logical conclusion to these premises) the
degrees of Co;um bia University are con-
ferred upon the graduates OF Barnard at
the same time and at the same place and
by the same official as the graduates Of
Columbia. say this is the only logical
conclusion, yet, until very lately, Barnard
has been the only affiliated college recog-
nized by the parent university, and at
this date know of two that have been
satisfied to offer their students degrees
that are separate and distinct from those
OF the university. Fortunately for the
cause of woman's education, the colleges
affiliated with the English universities
have had the strength OF mind to refuse
any degree which Is less than the one
that properly should crown their work.
OF the three distinct types of colleges
for women--the separate college, the CO.
educational college, and the affiliated
college, the third is not a compromise SO
much as a solution, holding as 1t does
identity. Separatensss where it is priv
ilege, identity where 1t Is vital. Gov
erened by separate board Of trustees,
whose duty IL is to consider the problems
that belong solely to the education OF
women, their peculiar needs are as care
fully weighed as in the separate college,;
while, as have shown, as students they
are as truly members OF the university as
IL they were part of a co-educational
system.
Thus Barnard, with its balf-dozen years
of existence, is enabled TO draw inspira
tion and stimulus from a great historic
past. The Barnard woman wears proudly
the same.degree that was won by Alex
ander Hamilton, John Jay, and Robert
Livingston. And not only does she share
the inspiration of the past, but there is as
we'll a very real benefit In sharing the
privileges OF the present. III, as has been
sa i'd by the Dean of Barnard College, "the
most pressing question today In university
education is the adaptation OF esta blished
machinery to meet the new need OF train
ing for womcp," then the right under
standing Of the relation Of Barnard to
Columbia is of very real Importance.
