Professor Sargent Says She is of Low

head of the department of physical

as writer upon subjects pertaining
to woman's development
Are women constitutionally tougher
than men? This is the question upon
which Doctor Sargent was asked to
pass judgment. 1t was also question
which was brought up by Prof. John

more enduring, should be inclined to

'Tt stands to reason that since they
are constructed on plan better
suited to cope with physical forces Of
a certain kind, they should be able to
Withstand conditions which man, who
Is built with an entirely dissimilar OBJ
