Smith, Wellesley and Bryn-Mawn should

the greatest college OF them all. The insti-
tuition should be started right. In the first

small colleges now and they ought to be
cut down to ffty. Prof. Jordan eaid he
hoped yet to deliver graduating address
in the college. The first million dollars he
gets will go to It. This evening Prof. Jor-
