Girie Med

Chicago, July 9.-Is university training,
for young women a stumbling block to
Inatrimony? Statistics which show how
few OF the former "co-eds'' OF the Univer-
rity of Chicago have married during the
last sixteen years are being used to show
that 1t is.
Secretary Arthur e. Eestor, of the
Alumni association of the university, has
Just issued a book of alumni statistics that
has startled the college authorities. His
book shows that of the 1850 girls who.
have graduated from the university since
it's rc-establishment in 1898 only III have.
married. While the officials of the univer-
sity explain that girls who nave graduated
from the classes during the last two years
should be given time, yet they have no ex-
PLANTATION to offer for the lack Of interest
shown by the others. !,
The percentage of women graduates who
have married is about 1917. The statistics.
of Secretary Bestor also show tina about
fifty per cent of the women who have.
graduated have taken up teaching.
Students at the university who nave stu,
died the statistics compiled by Secretary
Bestor declare that segregation and too.
severe regulations governing visiting in
the dormitories have had much to do with
tending the girl graduates away from the,
university free hearted. They declare that
the university had placed such restrictions.
on college counting that the younger girl.
students go to college. They
cite the large number OF engagements at
Northwestern University as proof of this.

Pertaining a number of guests at a

The lawyers for Harry Thaw have
hired practically every big ailienist in
this country to assist Tnaw's defense.
What is more they nave cornered the
market in insanity experts, and should
the court desire to appoint a commits

would be practically impossible to find
any %alienists of sufficient reputation
who could serve. No money has been
