COLLEGE GIRLS

The suicide of two college girls
on the same day should make
parent, mindful of the very rca,
unhappiness often associated with
a girls college career. She may be
a brilliant student and fall into the
depths of despair because the covet-
ed "a" escapes her in q single sub
jcct, or she may be a poor student
and suffer mental agonics because
her most desperate efforts fail to
give her a passing mark.
Girls take their college work more
seriously than boys. The compcti-
ton for "marks" is kccncr. the de-
votion to study mere abs orbing the.
disgrace Of failure in studies is moro
kcenlv felt. Outside activities take
less time and do not receive the same
social recognition. Women faculty
members are moe severe than men.

Jonathan Swift and Varina, Stella

The love affairs by Jonathan Swift,
dean of St Patriclt'S, Dublin, the bril-
liant satirist, author OF the celebrated
"Gullivers Travels" form the darkest
chapter in the story of his life. To
this day historians are puzzled by
the cruel, despicable behavior OF an
otherwise generous and honorable
man 10 the three women who gave
him their love.
Variua was Swift's first love. Her
name was lane Wairlng. but Swift :
