RAISE BOYCOTT ON GOODS
Wesleyan Men Show Courtesy
After Closing School to Women.
BY Telegraph TO The Tribune.


Mddletown. Conn, May 1.-THE official
boycott on the co-eds at Wesleyan, started
twenty years ago as a protest against the
pre- sence Of women students, was raised to-
day by men Of the senior class, who voted
to ask the members OF the fair sex 10 join
with them in their class day exercises at
commencement
The girls have taken no action on the
matter as ye:. but they probably will ac-
cept. Co-education was started at Wes-
Itvan in 1875. and for the first fifteen
years there was no friction. Later, how
ever. the men began 10 rebel against the
continuance OF the system. and adopted
the boycott as the best means OF voicing
their dsapproval.
The result was that three years ago the
trustees voted TO abolish co-education In
1912, so the young women who are 10 be
graduated from Wesleyan in June will be
the last OF their sex TO receive degree
from the Methodist institution.
The boycott OF the young women has
always been faithfully carried out by the
male students So strong was the sentiment
unfolding II that a few years ago when a
senior dared 10 break the precedent a
mass meeting was called which adopted
resolution severely censuring his action.
