RECOMMENDATIONS FOR STATE COLLEGE FOR WOMEN

women will be provided in the near
future.
Simmons College is high class
vocational institution for women. It's
courses arc both cultural and voca-
tional; cultural in that It makes GER
tain areas OF knowledge a necessary
possession for the pursuit OF specific
Vocations. A thorough foundation Is
therefore laid In English. mathematics
aud the sciences, as basis for
specialized vocational training. There
is a sane balance of cultural and Voca-
tional subjects, but the outcome Of all
the school work, the finished prodnct
is predominantly vocational Located
in the Fenway of Boston, and housed
IN one large, modern, we'll equipped
building, Il is one Of the most con-
veniently arranged and satisfactorily
conducted colleges visited There are
offered at Simmons six complete
courses of study, Household Econ
omics. Secretarial Studies, Library
Science. General Science, Social Work
and Industrial Teaching All but the
last mentioned course leads 10 the de-
gree of Bachelor of Science. The 500
students in attendance are drawn
from the entire world. but more than
half come from Massachusetts. Col
lege Dormitories furnish accommoda-
tions for about 260 students az q cost
ranging from $500 to $500 per year.
The tuition fee is 500 per year plus
the usual laboratory fee. The over
sight of the conduct Of the students
is in charge OF the Dean.
Radcliffe College is purely cul-
tural institution affiliated with Har-
ward University. All the courses Of
fercd IN Radcliffe are also given In
Harvard and by the same instructors.
Work is provided for graduate as we'll
as for undergraduate students. The
courses OF study and the professors
who give them are chosen, we believe,
by a council consisting Of the Presi-
dent of Harvard and the Dean of
Radcliffe. BY this arrangement there
is every assurance that only the most
satisfactory instructors arc chosen
for the women II might be said that
the instructors are paid by the course,
In addition 10 their Harvard salary,
for the work they do In Radcliffe.
Radcliffe. for the most part furnishes
its own recitation rooms, laboratories
and libraries, and the instructor gives
his work TO the women in their own
buildings apart from the University
buildings. In some instances, how
ever, graduate women students are
admitted 70 graduate courses with the
men at the University. About 500
students attend Radcliffe. OF course,
many Of these, on account Of its To-
cation. are non-residents For the
resident students three dormitories
are provided, accommodating about
100 women The cost Of living in
these dormitories Is Sc per week-a
little more than cost. A lunch room is
conducted by the College for non
resident students The tuition fee
Is $500 per year. in addition to the
customary library, gymnasium and
laboratory fees.
Radcliffe is conducted in a most
admirable manner, commands the re-
spect OF all who are interested i'm the
education Of women. and because Il
does, receives a number OF bequests
each year from men and women of
wealth who take pleasure and salts
faction in contributing TO the general
welfare of mankind in this way. The
buildings at Radcliffe arc handsome
strucnres, conveniently arranged, and
we'll equipped The recitation build
ing cost S1O4000. the dormitories from
100000 70 $4,000 each, and the gym
nasium $4,000.
"The higher education Of woman is
provided at Brown University by a
