1t was agreed to be the most tempting
morsei Of the year.
Mrs. Sage began her address with the
statement that most Of those present were
Troy alumn9. She said:
"We have done much for Troy-a great
deal in money way. There are some
people in the world who believe that educa-
tion and money are not closely allied
They are. You can't advance education
without money, and money is useless with
out education. Money is as necessary to
an educational movement as the brains
that control it are, The higher education
Of women doesn't mean clothes and frvol-
ity. 1t means the advancement Of the sex
the advancement Of mana step forward
for the whole race. 1t means better
observance Of the American Sabbath, a
Bishop Scarborough paid a glowing
tribute to Mrs. Sage, saying that every
man and woman in the country s indebted
to her for her mental. social and financial
support Of the higher education Of women.
Mrs. Sage announced that one woman
must be heard from at the meeting Of the
"E. w. A. and Miss Spence, secretary OF
the association, had some things to say
about the education of women.
.The objectionable sins of women,
said Miss Spence, 1are hardness and cold
ness, want Of tact want of gentlen ess and
want of taste. Higher education Of woman
will bring the cure for this and give us
what the whole earth cries out for, a greater
simplicity in the customs and manners OF
society,"
Chancellor MacCracken made a plea for
a statue in bronze of Emma Willard Mrs.
Sage closed the afternoon with her bless
