storming a German University.

The first woman student at the Uni
versity of Halle, am told, says a cor
respondent of the Chicago Record, was
Chicagoan, and she had "a rather re-
markable experience. She had been
driven out of one Of the other UNIVERSE
ties by the students before she went to
Halle. There she resorted to diplo-
matte method of securing admission.
She found home i'll the family of an
eminent scholar under the pretense of
studying the language, and through
him became acquainted with one of the
professors whose lectures she desired to
attend. One day she asked him for that
privilege. He was very polite and said
that he had no objections himself, but
he did not know how the students
would like it, and thought he would
better consult them before giving his
consent. The next day he addressed the
students on the subject and told them
that a very profound scholar from
America, young woman, had paid him
the compliment of expressing desire
to attend his lectures, and he asked their
permission to invite her to do so. With
one accord they shouted 'Hochl" which
is the student way of signifying assent.
But the good professor was still puz-
zled as to the manner III which he
should receive his guest and consulted
an American student, who tells me the
story At first the professor proposed to
invite her TO sit with him upon the
platform, but the young American told
him that would never do i'll the world
as il would make her too conspicuous
After IA consultation with the young la
dy it was decided that the professor and
the American student together should
meet her ut the fountain in front of the
university building few minutes before
the lecture began and escort her TO
the room They did so, and the profess
or offered her his arm as they entered
the door She took a modest seat in the
rear of the room and occupied ii daily
for nearly two years. The students al
ways treated her respectfully, and many
of them became her friends Since then
women have had no difficulty in attend.
