THE MONEY NEEDED.


ut Is estimated that the new building
will cost 81 900. 900. The other s1,oo0.ooo
FOR which the trustees have asked Is need
ed for the endowment fund. AS George
A Plimpton treasurer OF the trustees,
said: New York has shown that 1t wants

four years Of it's existence 10 has In

many young women who see in Barnard
their only chance for higher education
What the community gives TO Barnard
will be returned to ii many fold. Not only
are most of the students New York City
girls but they continue 10 live here after
they leave college. Large numbers or
them are in the public school system. and
almost as many in social or philanthroplc
work. Many executive positions with
charity organizations and investigating
bureaus are filed with Barnard girls. The
proportlon of these girls In social service
of this kind is undoubtedly due TO the
fact that Barnard is in the city. The girls
never lose their contact with II. They
read the papers and hear discussions on
civic questions, from which girls IN
clustered college in the country are nee
essarily shut out.
Fifty per cent OF the living graduates
are engaged in paid occupations. Most OF
those are teachers. of course. but the
proportion Of those in other occupations
is increasing every year. Among them
are included at present one opera singer
actress. decorator. artist. trained nurse
suffrage organizer. lunchroom manager,
missionaries. agents for charity orsaniza'
tions. investigators. settlement workers
and manager of an employment bureau.
some Of the most prominent women IN
New York to-day are Barnard women.
Mary Antin. author OF The Promlsea
Land and Mrs. Elsie Clews Parsons are
well known in literary circles. Mrs Glho
carlo Speranza, OF the Scuola d lndustrie
Italiane. is conducting an interesting
work among Italian women or Greeh"0h
Village. Mrs. Amos Pnchot. Mrs "eoree
NcAneny. Mrs Charles Cary RumseY
Mrs. Sigmund Pollitzer and Mrs. Jessica
Finch Cosgrave are prominent IN soclai
and civic affairs. Mrs. James Lees Lad
law. chairman Of the Woman Suffrage
party, OF Manhattan; Miss Carolne
Lexow. field secretary Of the Womens
Political Union. and Miss Alice J. q. Per
kins, author of a history of the suffrage
movement in America, are among the
city's most influential suffragists.'

"HT militant thinker Of to-day is the
college woman. 1t is she who bat
Il ters upon the doors of mans reason
until they open to the new idea. 1t is she
who voices the why" which is at the
fountain head of all reform movements.
1t is she who insists upon an answer to
that why" though she may knock upon
lie doors Of her legislators halls for for
y years before she is rewarded. Cher
chez la femme is a hint equally valuable
to-day to those who trace ideas 10 their
sources. Woman's thought is impressed
upon the minds of legislatures, of writers
and educators, Of heads of great institu-
tons and of leaders of reform movements
Of all kinds. The suffrage movement is
led almost entirely by college-bred wom-
en-, with Jane Adams, DR.. Shaw, Mrs.
Carrie Chapman Gait and Mrs. Harriet
Stanton Batch at the head Of the list.
The fight for equa! pay in the public
schools of New York City and the mo e
ment to modernize the public school sys-
tens OF tn, country are also the product
of college women's thought,
Interest in this phenomenon Of the pres

public affairs, is sharpened just now by

HOME AND COLLEGE.

THE woman in her home life is shell
tered and protected from the stern
judgments OF the world. IL she is weak
the home love throws protecting arms
OF kindness ehout her. Mother would
never nurt her feelings. The college
girls don't think about her feelings. If
she doesn't make good upon her first
committee she is coolly ignored when
the second is being made up. She
learns 70 see herself not as an indi-
yidual. but AZ a part OF the community.
I'm after years these are the things
she imprcsses upon the minds of her
children as the result OF her college
training. While the father talks foot

cause college is much more serious

A BARNARD GRADUATE.

Mrs Alice Duer Miller, one Of Barnard $
most distinguished daughters, a writer
and leader i'm the cause Of votes for
women" recently expressed her views
upon the relation of college women to the
community in general and of Barnard
women to New York City IN particular.
The fact that the influence of college
women in proportion 10 their number Is
more felt in public thought than is the in
huence Of college men," said Mrs. Miller,
lis. of course, directly traceable to the
difference in the amount Of social con-
science they possess. The college mans
constructive ideas go into his business.
and even though his business be politics
civ benefit to the community is often
lsss obvious than their benefit to himself.
Try as they will, the colleges do not seem
TO be able to give the college man the
feeling of responsibility toward the com
munity in which he lives. Perhaps this
Is to be accounted for, as DR.. John Elliot
suggested the other day. because il is
always impressed upon the college man
that he is equipped for a struggle, that he
Is to be made able TO fight his own way
in life. This note Of warfare is entirely
absent from the training of the college
woman. and the idea of social service
takes its place. This is the result of eco
nomic conditions, of course The man
must become financially self-supporting
The woman does not feel economic press
ure to the same extent Even when she
must earn her own living she does not
feel the keenness of the fight She IS
much more likely to be altruistic.
Exactly the opposite is what we are
usually told, of course. 1t is the woman,
according to general belief. who is
wrapped up in her family. 1t is the woman

SOME VALUATIONS.

Find the man who is prouder OF MS

IAN victories. A president Of the United
States. possibly. is more priced than the
Toe of a Brinkley. Nothing less counts
however. And when Il comes to show
down tens of thousands of alumni night
for tickets to the Harvard Yale game who
would not take the trouble to 90 down
town to hear the President of the United
States make a political speech.
THE point Of view of the college woman
is entirely different. She had good time
i'm college, of course but she doesn't ad-
vertise the fact. Exactly the opposite. In
lust so far as she had only good time at
college is she ashamed OF her alma ma
