Women at Cornell.

Speaking Of Cornell University, Mrs.
Martin said: There have been registered
this year 42S women, the largest number
we ever had. This does not include the
summer school, nor winter course stu
dents in agriculture. Forty-siX women
have been engaged in important post
graduate work: 262 have been in the col
lege of arts, ] in the law school, in the
school of architecture, - in the medical
school and 30 in the agricultural college.
We have had women in civil engineering
and in the veterinary college, which is,
OF course. exceptional. The greatest gain
has been in the college of agriculture,
where there We're only five woman stu
dents ten years ago. only ~ two years
ago and only 81 in 19C9-1O. A consider
able portion of this gain in the agricul-
tural college is to be- attributed to the
growing popularity of the courses in
home economics, but the gain in agricul-
ture proper is not insignificant OF the
81 women registered in the college of ag-
riculture last year q were in home eco
nomics and IS in agriculture proper
while of the 80 women registered this
year As were in home economics and IL
in agriculture.
There has been falling off in the
number of women in the medical college
during the last five years from 80 to %,
but at the same time the number Of man
students has dropped from 363 to 112.
which is attributed to the advance in the
requirements for entrance.

Recognize the Need.

MANY of the womens colleges and
most of the larger state universities have
recognized the need and are attempting
to meet it with more or less adequate
professional courses in physical education.
l take it that a physical training depart
ment exists for some more positive pur-
pose than the mere prevention OF impair
ment OF health by the conditions of col
lege life. The time may come-perhaps
1t is not very far distant-when the
secondary schools will send us students
physically as we'll mentally prepared
students whose physical defects have been
discovered and in part corrected. who
have received at least elementary instruc-
ton in personal hygiene, and in whom
rational habits of life have been partially
established. Until approach come
what nearer that happy condition college
departments of physical training must
spend much time and thought and money
In discovering and correcting physical de
fects In students, and in teaching hygiene
so effectively as to induce right habits of
life, before they can even begin their pos

wholesome human creatures. capable OF

Have Definite Aims.

"Of the women attending Cornell Uni
versity, the number pursuing their work
without any vocational aim is SO small
as to be almost negligible. The records
of my Office show that last year only five
answered negatively the question as to
whether they were preparing for self
support. OF these, one is already mar
ried, three were enga ged to be married
and the other has been teaching all this
year and expects to continue. That their
expectation of self-support is pretty thor
oughly realized Is shown by the returns
from last years class. Seventy-nine
women went out from Cornell Univer-
sity in 1910. OF these forty-nine are en-
gagged in regular teaching. four are do
ing special teaching. three are in social
service work, two in library work. two
are private secretaries. two are in ex-
pertinent station work. one IS a law

cine, one is farm manager, one Is in a

Opens Fields of Work.

"Unquestionably the most interesting,
and, believe, the most fruitful, part of
the efforts of my Office, has been in the
conferences l have had with the students
in regard to vocations. Very early 1 be-
came aware that most of the educated
girls consider it their destiny to become
teachers, and some of them frankly de-
clared that they couldn't bear the
thought of it. Very few Of them even
knew that other fields Of remunerative
work were open to them still less the
attractions or opportunities that other
fields offered, or the amount and char
acter of training necessary to fit them
for or the extent to which the university
could provide it. My individual efforts
in this direction have been most ably
supplemented by course of lectures on
professional opportunities open to wom-
en-, given at intervals during the year
by well Informed persons from other
parts of the country. Efforts have been
made to assist students in selecting vo-
cations and in selecting such college
work as will fit them for it. We have
spent a good deal of time and have taken
a great deal Of trouble in bringing this
office into touch with the various en-
ployment agencies that are using col
lege trained women, in order that we
might bring the work and the worker
together. AS a result of such efforts
large number of the women leaving col
lege this year and previous years were
placed in positions other
than school teaching
