Following the splendid conciliatory
address of President r. a. Alderman,
OF the University of Virginia, before
the Senate Committee on Public In
situations last night. there is today a
much brighter prospect for adjust
ment OF the differences between the
supporters and the opponents OF the
W,uan's college idea than before.
The meeting was held i'm the SEN
ate chamber, and tE.. ga scheduled
40 begin at 5 O'clOcA. s,ts half an
Iour late in starting. he night was
bad-sieety, slick, cod, cherries.
Drawing the elements. however, the
men and women interested came in
lar-c numbers and listened TO what
was said.
Joseph ID. EgSlestOn. Superintend-
ent OF Public Instruction. was the
first speaker. lie declared that the
State Educational Commission was in
favor OF the higher education of wo-
men, and emphasized that view by
declaring that the demand was one of
fairness and justice and that he be-
lieved that il was a step in the right
direction. He said that the crying
need OF the State was for women
teachers who were better trained.
Mr.. Eppa HuntOn, speaking for the
opposition. declared that the eXplana-
zion OF Dr. Alderman had frightened
the picture and removed some of his
objections 10 the bill. but he still
thought it went too far and con-
tanned things that should be removed.
rhree-fourths of the alumni, he said.
were opposed to co-education.
President Alderman was. of course,
the central figure of the evening. He
made an address that received the
closest attention OF the committee and
OF the audience.
President Alderman's speech was
marked by deep feeling and concern
a. sci.
occasioned.
The coordinate woman's college az
the University of Virginia, If il is con-
structed in accordance with DR.. AL
derman's description. will be located
at some distance from the University
buildings-not less than a quarter OF
mile away and not more than a
mile. II will have a separate and dis
til. Existence.
The wOman's college will have a
complete plant of it's own, including,
I besides the dormitOries such acad-
| emic buildings as lecture halls. reci-
| tation halls. society and club rooms
| dining halls and gymnasium. 1t will
have its own corps of teachers and
officers, and in every way. except in
such respects as in the opinion OF
the Officers OF the University may be
beneficial to both elements, will be
| wholly aloof and distinct from that
part OF the University devoted to the
instruction and care OF the men.
With such plan for a base DR.
Alderman looked confidently to the
founding at the University of a high.
er institution of learning for the ed.
Ncation OF Virginia women which will
create a distinctive atmosphere fol
itself and at the same time do nc
violence TO the name and fame o.
the institution planned by Thoma,
Jefferson.
The committee. owing to the late.
ness OF the hour. voted to adjourn
without going into executive session

tic hearings were declared ended. anC
