BY Telegraph 70 The Tribune
Boston. Feb. 9.--The Wellesley College
faculty Is up in arms over the editorial
in the college News" In which the
statement Is made that the Wellesley
girls do not look as well as other col
lege girls
Members of the faculty have held n
consultation with the editorial staff of
the paper, and have pointed out that
such statements tend TO injure the coll
lege> 1t is understood one Of the mem
bers Of the editorial staff asserted that
this statement went TO prove the truth
of the editorial comment that personal
beauty Is as important as talent for the
college girl. and added that the 'adver-
tising" il gave Wellesley would more
than compensate for any imagined harm
It might do the college. The editorial
said in part
Isn't IL rather a pity that so many Of
us do not realize the duty of being beau
tiful?
Some OF us are the whole Of Welles

home towns; others of us aren't: but do
we enjoy hearing II said that 1t is pity
that Wellesley girls do not look so well
as other college girls-Vassar people,
