that the time has come for a College
OF the City OF New York for women
The academic courses were so much
appreciated last year that this year
shows no last minute unpreparedness.
The classes are now established. The
chemistry classes were among the best
in attendance in the school, and tired

molecular weights and reactions with
such ardor that those who presumed
to disparage them in the beginning
were astonished.
With the exception Of Wadieigh,
where chemistry is an eight hour a
week subject (ttus leaving out the
possibility Of taking any other sub
tect). no other evening chemistry class
in New York is open to women. The
chemistry classes were made up Of
students preparing for the Regents
examination. nurses from the various
hospitals and pupils from the domestic
science classes.
Excellent native teachers are pro-
vided for all the language courses,
which include, besides English. French.
Italian, Spanish and German. in both
