New York, Dec. 1,-Prof. Leslie j.

statement that tile college woman has
not made good"
lie had the courage, too, to make the
statement In Il lecture before the Ma

OF Women. He said:
The college woman has not made
good. There are, 1 think, about IT,
wv or $4,000 college women in the
United states. Three-fourths of these
are SO nice that they arc married al
ready and the remainder are freaks.
Ile married women don't take SO much
interest in outside affairs and freaks
cannot accomplish anything, anyway"
Discussing the question of woman
suffrage, he said:
Some women do not realize how very
powerful is their influence without the
ballot. Isn't this Indirect influence
worth more to you women than the
very uncertain power that would come
with the ballot that you are ill-preparcd
for? | mean lll-preparcd in the sense
that the vast majority of women have
small comprehension Of the functions
OF government. I'll admit that about
Az per cent of the men who vote are
