BEEN VERY GREAT.
"I don't th!nk women have changed
nearly SO much in tie past twenty-five
years as the present generation likes
- believe" said DR.. Taylor. When |
was a boy in college-Rochester was
my college, knew some OF the early
Nassar students, and l can't say they
were very different from our girls of
to-day. When Vassar College was
founded a great many earnest young
women were waiting tcr Just such an
opportunity as 4 offered them. We
have earnest young women, hard stu
dents, In the college to-day. And. Of
course. we have the other kind, the
frivolous girl. whose mind at thirty
will be none tho better for the training,
the selt-development. We have tried to
give her. College has little effect on
the eternal feminine" DIR. Taylor

COLLEGE WOMEN DO MARRY
ANU LIVE 6AoIES.
But that's precisely the charge
which has been brought against the

said that she doesn't marry, or II she
doee that she has no children"
III you would attend one OF our class
reunions" DR.. Taylor answered, you
would soon discover the fal!acy OF that
idea. Each yea our girls come back
and tell us OF the things which have
happened to them. the marriages and
! births. For instance, a very charming
and lovely girl. who : still unmarried,

the statistics Of the class OF 1901. Five
eighths OF us are married. she said,
demonstrating that we ave no very
great love for fractions.
"As for the birth-rate, there 10

1.-The College Alumnae Association UNI
dertook to disprove the charge that
college women do not marry so readily
as the girls who stay at home. They
gathered statistics from sisters, cousins
and friends. which tended TO establish
that between the ages Of twenty and
thirty there is a slight percentage In
favor Of the stay-at-home girl. but that
after thirty the college woman has the
better chance.
