Coordinate college, co-education,
and admission of women to the grad

higher education were the issues de-
bated pro and con at a meeting be-
o a joint session of the house and
senate committees on education, held
in the senate chamber last evening,
from s O'Clock till midnight. Every
seat on the iioor of the senate and
in the galleries was occupied, and
hundreds crowded the aislea.
Splend@d women and earnest men
commended for and against the propo-
sltion to open the University of Viz
ginia and the other higher institu-
tons of learning in Virginia to the
women OF the state.
Leaders in education and the pro-
LESSONS took part in the discussion.
and women identihei with social and
public welfare movements, progress
and reform. bore their share OF the
conflict of opinion and hesitated not
to cross swords In debate with oppo-
nents. whether male or female, re-
CARELESS of how formidable their
reputation.
Three Bills in Question.
There were three bills before the
committee. the principal point of op-
position developing on Senator Strode's
measure TO ADMIT women to the uni
versity and directing the board Of
visitors TO make provisions therefor.
Another measure was for the admis-
sion of women to william and Mary
college. and still another for straight
out coeducation.
Mr.. George Meichie. of the unlver-
sity board of visitors. spoke briefly.
He was not pposed to coordination,
he said. If the general assembly felt
II could be afforded at this time, but
II the measures before the committee
meant coeducation. he could not IA
vor them.
DR.. Alderman, president of the uni
versity, spoke at length. He had
hoped for years TO see a woman's COL
lege built near the university. and at
fliated with IL. and would heartily
favor coordination. he said.
The measure for frank coeduca-
tion he could not approve, The bill for
admission of women TO William and
Mary. he saw no reason to oppose.
Discusses STROBE Measure.
Senator Strode's bill. he declared. If
It meant coeducation, he would reiuc-
family have to oppose, He then quoted
the dean OF the university law school
as expressing the opinion that the
Strobe measure did mean co~education
In conclusion the doctor reminded the
legislators that the university belongs
TO All the people. and that 1t would
bear any burden put upon II with H.
deity to every detail. Therefore. he
asked that the assembly do not place
any undue burden upon the institu-
ton.
