Women students were first admitted

sity in 1906. The he first.class Of women
was graduated in 1910. About 81
young women register each year as
students. The attendance would 20 pc
larger, but as yet the University has
been able to make no arrang ements
for their accommodate ton. While they
are admitted to all college classes,
most Of them register in the College
of Arts and Sciences and In the
Teachers College. A few have taken
work IN Agriculture and Horticulture;
many Of them have elected scientific
work in the laborat cries, and one mas
been registered in the Law School.
The admission of young women TO TO
the University has had a good effect

the young men students. Almost url MI
