for studv end rest for the numerous women who
live in the more less distant parts of the city
or i'm the suburbs. Our educational facilities will
never be fully available so long as the students
have no comfortable place to spend the time when
they are not actively occupied in the lecture room
Nor will il be possible to permit the widest range
of choice of studies long the Committee on

Barnard in the past is already beginning to open
up new vistas of needs and opportunities. May
not the alunnE and friends Of Barnard and sun
porters OF the higher education of women in our
great city reasonably hope soon to new group
