University he paid court to several of the fair coeds, but Intellectually, and this is said to have made him cynical toward all American women.
 He recently aired his sentiments in pup lie and stated that American women were cold, unfeeling and as heartless as stone. He was very bitter in his denunciation of their heartlessness and avowed his in- tention of returning to his own Argentina. where he could find women with Ian" gushing eyes, fascinating features and tender hearts. The latest report is that he was violently .n love with Miss Reba Cooley. daughter of Lyman E. Cooley, Of the Illinois drainage board. and that he lost out in his suit. Young Murty admit ted that he had been smitten with Miss Cooley, who is a remarkably beautiful young woman and that she said she could never be more than a sister to him.
 Mir. Murty grows bitterly cynical when ever American women are mentioned In his presence and upon announcing his de- termination to return south again he said:
 American women are so hard. so un- feminine. They are extremely clever. but their hearts are like stone. I am glad to go back to South America, where shall find my hearts desire. for I cannot find 1t here among your Northern bellies" A Hope for Reform in 1904. el
 The members of the, faculty hope that the new club will bring about several re- forms other than the IevelIing of social distinctions and the beginning of segre- gation. The club is the outgrowth of the ideas of President James. who sees in R a method of reducing the expenses of student life.
 It is said that the student organiza- tions of the university have entertained lavishly last year and given very expen- sive entertainments. The expenses of these functions, easily borne by some of the students, were .grievous burdens to others, and an attempt is to be made to eradicate so many and so expensive en- tertainments.
 Said Prof. Clark. in talking over the proposed commons: '"The students club, such as we propose, will prove remedy for many of the evils of college life and provide more wholesome at. mosphere for the student body. We in- tend to make the club as comprehensive as possible. It is hoped to attach the col lege athletics to this club and make it at tractive to men in order that more male students will be attracted to the institu- tion."
 For a considerable time the officials
 have been smarting under the fact that Northwestern has been dubbed female seminary" on account of the large num-
 Der of women attending and they are de- | termined to make it impossible for that 1 epithet to be applied in the future. The large number of women in the depart | ments of music and oratory has led the
 outside world to believe the college was | attended by women almost exclusively | and. next year every effort will be made | to counteract this impression.

 Juniors Opposed to Segregation. Members of the junior class who will be the seniors next fall are opposed to the segregation idea. The men say club
 house will be all right. but they do not want the women to be crowded out. Some of the men say one of the chief charms of Northwestern Is the number of women who attend there. and they are perfectly satisfied to have matters go on as they have in the past. The men stu dents say they gain much from the championship of the women in the insti- tution, ,.e. s.s..s.-
 But President James is of a different opinion. He is one of the leaders In the great reaction againstS coeducatIon that is going on in the United States. Presi- dent James, spokesman of tho move
 ment. and President Harper, of the Chi cago University, favor segregation of the sexes at least within the University. One of the chief reasons advanced for
 the movement away from coeducanon in
 both the Chicago and Northwestern uni versailles is the alleged tendency of men to go to mems universities. because of
 the encroachment of women on these two institutions. Thus it Is charged that
 the purpose of these institutions, which | is to educate young men. is frustrated. Setback in Germany. Simultaneous with this reaction in the
 United States, which may or may not
 amount to anything in the end. there
 has been a setback to coeducation in Germany, just when it appeared to be getting a good start. Six months ago the
 total attendance of women at the Ger man universities had reached 1,20O. but
