Northwestern University VIII Only
Admit Dormitory Residents.
Special to The Journal.
Chicago March 15.-The attendance of
young women at Northwestern University is
to grow relatively less each year hereafter,
according to the authorities of the institution.
The claims of the men that fayoritism is sell
dom shown the co-eds in the university is to
be disproved by limiting the number of women
in attendance to those who can be cared for
in the several women's dormitories. The priv
ilege now granted to young women to find
homes among the townspeople of the city
as soon as the dormitories are full is to be
taken away at the end of the year.
DR.. r. D. Sheppard, business agent of the
university, said yesterday that the charge
that favoritism had been shown the young
women was untrue, except alone in the dor
mitories erected for the women, and that was
because the men preferred to room in pri-
waite houses.
1.-THE money to build homes for the young
women was not furnished by the university,
but for the most part by members of the
Woman's Education aid association and by
DR.. Pearsons. know there is much COM
plant that no gymnasium has been provided
for young men, but gymnasium has been
projected, and we hope 1t will be built be-
fore long,
