HoNoRS FOR MRS. BLACKWELL
OberIin College COnfers Honorary De-
gree Upon Its First Woman
Student.

At the recent celebration of its seventy
fifth anniversary Oberlin, the first college
in the United States to admit women, con-
ferred on the Rev, Antoinette Brown Black
we'll the honorary degree of d. D.. Sixty
odd years ago when Antoinette Brown
pplied for admission into the theological
school of Oberlln the faculty was aston
ished, but because the charter of the col
lege expressly provided that women should
be admitted to all departments she could
not be kept out.
Miss Brown was distinguished not only
for her intelligence but also for her beauty
and charm Of manner. She soon became
a favorite among the students and the
professors. but the faculty PERSISTED in
thinking that It was unscriptural for a
woman 20 enter the pulpit as a minister,
Lucy Stone, who was a student in the aca-
demic department OF the college at the
time, became a great friend of the one
girl divinity student and is reported to
have told her repeatedly that she did not
believe public opinion would ever permit
women to be ministers.
When the two, A%ntoinette Brown and
Lucy Stone, asked permission to take part
in the debating exercises the faculty re-
fused, quoting the injunction, Let your
women keep silence 1t was after this
refusal that the two girls organized the
first debating club ever formed among
college girls. The meetings were held
secretly in the woods, the MEMBERS COINS
by ones and twoes in order that they might
not DO suspected. That was some sixty
years ago. Or the Sunday of the recent
commencement, Mrs. Blackwell walked II
the academic procession among all manner
of dignitaries with cap and gowns. Late
she had a prominent seat on the platform

There are five subjects covered by our
organization-sanitary work places, oppor-
tunities for recreation, educational classes,
housing and provident funds-and underly-
ing these objects toward betterment are
the essentials of steady work, an equitable
wage and reasonable hours.
We believe that the beginning of all well
fare work must be directed toward, meet
ing the pressing necessities for the physical
well being OF employees in their work
places and that then the general social
conditions should receive consideration
to develop an interest which will inspire
hope and encouragement on the part of the
wage Garner. The spirit of welfare work
is the belief that fundamentally the best
and worst of us are alike and are one.
