COLLEGE WOMEN AHEAD OF mEN7
II So 1t is Principally Due to Faithful

II So 1t is Principally Due to raiihrli

About the only safe deduction that
can be made from the symposium OF
! college Presidents on the relative stand.
ing of men and women in the higher
institutions recently published, Is that
there is a wide diversity of opinion
among educators upon this question.
AS in the question OF co education, the
conclusions appear to be largely Il
matter Of individual experience. \

slty Presidents appear to be agreed
Women Lave shown their ability -

guages and in general literary work.
1t is averred by many, however, tha.
they easily surpass the men IN this
field of cndcavor. and they cite stats.
tics TO prove 1t. President MacLean. o,
the University OF Iowa, says that in TIL,
Iowa College of Liberal Arts. wherc
men and women are nearly equal in
number. about th"ee-fourths of those
having the highest standing are women
That they lead the men in actual
scholarship, however seriously

At Boston University fifteen out o..
sixteen senior students just elected t.
membership in the Phi Beta Kappa
Society, the sole test being scholarship
are women. In the University of Chi.
cago, during the first ten years of it7
life, women have captured more prizes
and honors than men.
Some of the reasons assigned for tho
present tendency of women TO surpasi
men In scholarship in the colleges and
universities are: Greater devotion Il
athletics by young men; nlnety-fvc

While in many institutions it appears
that the women students excel the men
In scholarship by about ten per cent.
on the average. the testimony OF most
of those interviewed was to the effect
that scholarship records run compara.
lively even between men and women.
The average grades in most of the co.
educational institutions are in fact
closely parall,l.
If women are attaining higher scioL

time it is probably due. as President

That tends within your soul to make
The world look very dark and crude.
Believe me, tits your attitude.

The sun sends down her gifts to yon.
But, hidden in cave from view,
You cry, There is no light. no good."
Believe me, 'tis your attitude.
By happiness is ever wooed
Your being. as by sun the earth.
Tho you refuse the rendered mirth
To moan: II am Misunderstood"
Believe me, It's your attitude.

And womansind is sweetly kind
And there's no demon but the blind,
Black, bitter devil of your mood.
