With painful pleasure still remember
thee.

Dean Virginia C. Gildersleeve of Bar
nard college declares that there are
fewer divorces among college women
than among any other class, because
the college graduate is apt to marry
purely for love and not for an occu-
patton or a home. Motherhood, she
declares. is really profession, and a
good cook may be better one for a
knowledge of Greek. The greatest
value of a college education for girls,
says Dean Gildersleeve, lies in just
this: that it gives them a better bal
ance, a more rounded outlook and a
truer appreciation of life's values. The
picture is from specially posed pho
tograph of Dean Gildersleeve.
