PASADENA

PASADENA. June 2.-(Regular Corre-
spondence) The project of establishing q
woman's college in Pasadena mentioned
some time ago. Is not dead by any means.
as a meeting of the committee held yester-
day afteroon proved, at which time Mrs. P.
C. Baker offered to give the last SO, 900 of
a $3.50, 900 endowment fund, which the COM
mittee will at once take steps to raise.
The meeting was held at the board of trade
rooms and the members Of the committee
present were: T. c. Hoag. chairman; H. H.
Klamroth, secretary; DR.. George s. Hull
Mrs. Macy. Mrs. P. c. Baker. DR.. Norman
Bridge. President Edwards of Throop and
Rev. Merwin
1t was decided to incorporate the commit
tee under the laws of the state. with the
officers as stated above and with George
F. Kernaghan treasurer so that the COM
mittee can receive bequests for the found
ing of the institution. 1t should be under
stood that this institution will be in no
way antagonistic to Throop Polytechnic,
but on the contrary will work with that
institution to give Pasadena a wider name
as an educational center, and will do for
young ladies what Throop Is doing par
ticularly for the young men. The school
will be established along similar lines to
those of Vassar Smith college, Wellesley
and others of the best eastern institutions,
and 1t is expected that the most of the en-
dowment will come from wealthy eastern
people, and not more than a small por-
tion from residents of Pasadena and South
ern California. Pasadena has the location,
climate and natural advantages for such
school. and 1t is to be hoped that the
project can be carried otu on the scale
intended.
