POLITE TO THE GIRLS
MALE STUDENTS OF YALE ON
THEIR GOOD BEHAVIOR.
Manifest No Displeasure at Having
to Study with Young Women
Cupid Is Not Busy at
Prcsent.

The Yale students are more polite
than the Harvard students. at least
that Is what the 25 or so Yale goods
say. reports the New York Sun. Al
though the Yale men did not grow en-.
thusiastic when II was announced q
few years ago that Yale was going to
follow the example Of the Cambridge
university and allow the women to
study with them, at least in the grad
uate school, they didn't make any
violent objection to the plan, and
started in at once to take the change
as pleasantly as possible. Now they
nave grown accustomed to reciting
before an occasional schoDlma'am or
a young college alumna. and appar-
emily they are more at ease than the
young women themselves.
"The Yale men, even II they don't
like us around" said one of the girl
students of the graduate school. 'are
too polite to show 1t, at any rate, and
In that they are one ahead of the Har-
ward students. They don't like us in
the class room up there, and they are
not so careful to hide their prefer
ences." she laughingly added.
The young women who come here
generally are interested only in their
work, and are not looking for any So
cial features incidental to college life.
Thus one young woman who grad.
uated from Mount Holyoke college in
1906 and is taking work in economics
here is studying sociological problems
by living at mission hall.
There she has an opportunity to
study practical problems In sociology
She lives among the people whom she
In studying, and her daily round OF
pleasure or work, when not on the
Yale campus, is among the foreigners
In that part of the city.
But although the Yale co-eds don't
mingle much socially with the Yale
undergraduates or the graduate stu
dents or young professors, they have
their own club. mo men allowed.
is the clubs motto. Some Of the club
members do a good deal of their
studying and writing there. while 9th
ers only 60 there at rare intervals for
recreation.
| In tne taSt W1uVer Tue CO-SuS nave
held some social affairs away from
the club; generally at the boarding
houses where the young women live
Occasionally the wife OF a young pro
fessor has been invited to one OF these
| gatherings, but she was always
obliged to leave her husband at home
for the motto of the club has been
strictly enforced at these gatherings
The men students, on the contrary
welcome their associates among thu
young women at their classical
mathematical and other clubs here
and frequently the paper of the even
ing is read by one Of the co-eds
These clubs are, however. societies fol
research. and the members are inter
ested more in the intellectual side
of the affair than the social.
Although Cupid can hardly be sait
to do a land Office business among the
Yale co-eds, a romance is sometimes
the result of study here at the grad
ute school. Last year two of the
members of the school surprised theii
friends and even the instructors un
der whom they had worked together
by sending out wedding announce
ment cards just about commencement
time when both were taking a degree
They are teaching together this yea,
In a school in Texas.
