WoMAN's COLLEGE MAKES
DREAM COME TRUE.
Daughters of the State Can Secure
Higher Education Here.

1t had been dream for many years.
Connecticut, well supplied, for its size.
with colleges for men, lacked a college
for women. says the New Haven Reg,
lister. The daughters of the state were
compelled to seek Massachusetts, or
New York or Pennsylvania if they did
not wander further to obtain a. liberal
education. There were abundant and
substantial reasons, aside from state
pride. for desiring that this state have
it's own college for women.
Yet it remained a dream. Effort
that told for the fulhllment of it did
not begin until March, 1909, when a
group. of Connecticut college women,
notably three of Hartford, took up in
earnest the task Of starting college
for women in Connecticut. They, and
the associates who partook of their
vision and their faith, now see the
dream coming true. We have Con-
necticut College for Women. It holds
S4a acres Just above New London, on
the banks of the Thames, command
ing one of the noblest land and water
views in all New England. On these
grounds there are now six completed
buildings. Plant and Blackstone DOR
n1iteries are. the gift of Morton f.
Plant. A science building, substantial.
ly the gift of the city of New London,
has been named New London hall. The
other buildings are Thames hall, re-
fectory and a general heating plant
: The college stArts with faculty of
20 men and women and has over 100
students enrolled in the entering class.
The opening date is next Monday. Sept.
81. Furnishing and equipment are
practically complete, and the curricu-
lum is fully arranged and the teach
| ing force adequate. 1t is an suspicious
| beginning.
The complaint has already been
made that the cost of tuition at this

tWomen in New England and elsewhere

/ will continue to be so until the college
| acquires that prestige which will bring
| it. from the abundance of Connecticut
/ and other states, an adequate endow-
ment. Its great needs now are repu-
tation. prestige, tradition, history
These will come true in time. But the
dream is coming true.

that makes heavy demands on the male
singers. and the success of last nights
performance is due. In great measure.
to them.
To Emanuel Salazar was assigned the
tenor part OF Richard. Count of War
wick. and-oddly enough-govcrnor of
Boston. He sang with spirit, especially
in the second scene OF the first act
and his voice blended plcasiugly with
the others at all times. Allessandro
Modesti did the best work of the week
in the baritone role of Reinhart, re-
peating the third act air. ''Is II Thou?'
In response to hOarty applause. Natalie
Cervi and EIetro di Biasi. the basso
villains. lent balance and richness to
the scenes In which they appeared.
Carolina Zawner had a mezzo of rich
timDre as the witch. Ulrica, and 1t was
regretted that she was not heard after
the first act. Mary Kaestncr mastered
the difficulties OF Amelia's music with
ease. and Sophie Charlebois sang the
dainty airs allotted the page most
charmingly.
The orchestration PLAYS an unusually y
important part In The Masked Ball
