has just submitted an opinion in regard
to the admission Of women into the med
ical department of Tulane University.
After a thorough study Of the letter Of
donation Of Paul Tulane and OF the char
ter under which the board of administ ra-
tors was organized Miss Loeber declares
that she can find nothing to prevent
the admission OF women into the medical
department.
She points out that the same question
came I'D before the opening Of tho law
school and Harry Hall, then the dean Of
that school, gave it as his opinion that the
law school was open to women on the
same terms as men. Miss Loeber quotes
Tulane himself to show that he spoke of
young white persons designating the
color. not tho sex. She asserts that the
board Of administrators is bound 10y the
charter and the law Of the State TO allow
women II otherwise qualified to enter

Every one who takes drive OH the

Every lot that has been sold has t. red

that Morgantown avenue affords SO
many desirable residence sites. The
lots are large and lay we'll. The ave.
nue. is long and wide, and those who
build are required to set their resi-.
dences back so that the avenue will
be very desirable residence avenue.
Mr.. Faw says that not in one single
instance mas man bought lot wac
would sell it for any reasonable adj.
vance on the purchase price, so well
satisfied are those who buy. The sale
will close on Saturday, June 18th. and
until that time those who contemplate
