James H. Raymond said of the aban-
donment of the college:

leges in Northwestern university"
DR.. Frances Dickinson, Dr. Julia
Holmes Smith, Dir. Sarah Hackett Ste

the attitude of Trustee Raymond and
expressed themselves in vigorous
terms. DR.. Smith said:

eral women who have made names for

fession, as no one will deny. Then
