Wellesley Has Nothing on Stu
dents at Cleveland College.
Heart of Fluffy Little Pet May Turn
Up in Bottle of Alcohol in Fair
Maids CoIIection-No Qualms
of Conscience.

Cleveland, O.-Wellesley college at
Wellesley, Mass, where the man-of-
allwork about the college has been
arrested for stealing cats for college
girls to dtssect, has nothing on our
own Women's College at Western Re-
serve-eXcept the distinction OF
having one of its attaches arrested,
says a writer in the Leader.
Wellesley's girls, who cut up cats,
would be backed off the boards-if
we may use that expression in this
scientific discourse-if they were
to see the stunts that our dear girls
at the Women's college make a part
of their daily routine. The Cleveland
college girls stop not at the dissection
of mere felines. They cut up with
great glee cats and dogs, pigs and
frogs.
Nor do they stop there. They have
no conscience qualms about the meth
DDS of getting material. Mysterious
disappearance of fuzzy dogs and fe-
line divas are common in the East
end
Friends of the college girls should
be wary when asked by them:
Would you like to see my collec-
tion?"
One would expect to see postcards
or pressed flowers or pennants or
some feminine thing like that. But
don't say yes" too soon. The girl
may bring forth the heart of a frog
In alcohol and tell you how it was
still beating when she took it out in
the laboratory She may take pleas
ure in showing you the heart of
pig, the special feature of her exhibit.
Random pieces of animals Of all sorts
may be spread out for your inspection.
Many of the girls are preparing such
collections to show the folks" at the
Easter vacation.
1t seems as If many rOmances may
be spoiled, for can Elsie's small hands
look quite the same again after you
know how cleverly she slices up ami
mails with them? Does the fact that
she knows how to dissect dogs and
rabbits spinal cords make her quite
as desirable for a wife as if she had
spent those hours reading history
or hemming up the window curtains
for her room?
The zoology courses are not con-
Quoted in the Women's college, proper,
so the girls must go to the Adelbert
laboratories for them.
Those who elect "zoo"-college for
zoology-delight in telling all the de-
tails of their experiments to their
shuddering classmates whom they dub
''squeamish." And they show great
interest in getting material"
A nice little doggie wanders down
Euclid avenue trustfully looking for
his master and mysteriously he dis
appears. He never gets under any
ones feet again, never again chases
automobiles, swapping at the whirl-
ing tires, never barks--the girls at
the College for Women are finding
out just how that bark was made and
how the muscles cling around the
bone in those legs that made him run
SO fast,
Cats were scarce this past year, so
the girls couldn't get any of those to
cut up Rabbits, dogs and small pigs
made fair substitutes, however.
The conversation of these girls can
hardly be understood by one who
doesn't know They mutter about
strange things that are parts of some
animal or other, when they are at
their meals and ought to be thinking
of salads.
