plan whereby that institution may &C

complying in every particular with the
terms of her will.
According to rumor, it is now propose
70 change SwaTthmOre into an lnstitu-
tion for the education Of women. Inc
exclusion of men, il is contended. viii
nave the way for the acceptance of the
REQUEST. in that the necessity for aban
dO1ing intercollegiate athletics, as de-
manded by the terms Of Miss Jeanes
will would not arise. it being taken for
granted that a girl student body would
not desire to enter into such contests
With the male student nOdy eliminated
