The College Woman.

The most advanced feminine re-
formers should be highly gratified
with the progress now being made by
the young college woman described by
President G.. Stanley Hall Of Clark
university. AS for President Hall
himself, he does not seem oVerjoyed
when he views the modern college wo-
man. In an article in Appleton's Mag
azine he says:
Her triumph over the old limitations of
her sex is so complete that young man
whom 1 know and who longed to offer his
heart and hand to one of them hesitated
and finally withdrew from the high, chiv-
alric motive that he would rob the large
social circle which she adorned by tempt
Ing her to become housewife.
'"The independent, self suficing
bachelor girl" free, socially charming
and sometimes positively inspiring"
is the ideal product which President
Hall would have Of colleges Differed
by women, now, alas, too subject to
ga denatured intellectual regimen"
He criticises presidents of various
colleges for women for extolling the
graduate who becomes a boarding
school principal or the head of a school
for native girls in upper Egypt or one
who, while not excluding the episode
Of homemaking, evolves a plan of life
with an ultimate aim somewhere In
the intellectual and spiritual spheres.
None of the spinster presidents speaks
Of the promotion of health as impor-
tant to college education, while DR..
Hall submits that this should be para
mount, in the interest of the young
woman's bodily, nervous, mental and
emotional makeup. Instead the "uni-
versitizing' professorling feeds her on
the pathological husks of English lit
erature; Jokes her, in rhetoric, to the
trinity of purity, precision and pro-
priety; anatomizes her Latin, German
and French; dehumanizes her physics
and in general strangles the spirit that
lives with the letter that kills.
Sometimes, he admits, the college
young woman survives the denaturing
process, still buoyant and unfadedr
and it is reassuring to learn that, after
all, in DR.. Halls opinion, "good even
now predominates over evil in our
girls colleges"
