At WESLEYAN college seem to think, if
,bs;r answers to a recent QUESTIONABLE
con he taken as a reliable guide.
Inst what process Of reasoning led
yearly 40 per cent of the girls to de-
clare themselves in favor of a doctor
1,,sb,rd is not apparent from the an

Pick Out Presidents.
Two girls read the question, What

ed in," and decided to go the limit.
n To he wives of presidents of the Unit
Cd States was their expressed ambition.

answers. but aspiring young politicians

Six Are Engaged.
Tbirtv-one OF the girls said mar

8however. admitted to being engaged a,
the present time. Six Others SAID
marriage had no definite place IN theH
plans and an equal number said 1t en-
tered only in an indefinite way.
More than twice as many OF the
girls expressed the belief that mar
rage encouraged life ambitions such
as they now possessed and stated the
opinion that it discouraged these am
4bitions. There were rs who held that
marriage encouraged ambitions and ~
who held that it did not. Three SAD

Twenty three girls answered in the al

Want College Men.
Seventeen of the girls said they did
8not believe in becoming engaged while
in college, while six gave college en-
engagements unqualified approval. 1t IS
@nterestng to note that no one OF the
SIX who answered afirmatively was
among the group of those who are en-
#gaged. Twenty three answered that
the degree OF ACCESSIBILITY of becoming
8engaged while still in college depended
#enrirely on the individuals concerned.
The girls were unanimous in say
8lng that other things being equal they
would be happier with a college edu-
Gated husband than with one lacking
4srCh an education. All but one telt
better prepared to face the practical
problems Of life as a result OF their
college course and activities and the
Same high proportion would send a
4daushter of theirs to college.
