 south. and the only school in Alabama. It is the only school south of the Ohio and east of the Mississippi river that enjoys the advantage of association with an experiment station maintained by the United States bureau of mines. This experiment station is not merely an essential adjunct to the school of mines, but a powerful aid to the school of chemistry. Five fellowships, valued at $54O each, are available to ad- vanced students in chemistry and min ing.
 The college of engineering is grow ing rapidly, in keeping with tthe in- >dustrial growth of Alabama. It has turned out many engineers who have won international renown-men like General Sibert and Colonel Harding. who have shown their efficient training in accomplishing the greatest engineer ing tasks that have been attempted in history.
 CO-EducatiOn
 In spite of the reactionary sentiment of an ever-diminishing group of people co-education has developed with ever increasing rapidity.
 If it is all right to throw boys and girls together in high school when they are younger. why not have them to- gether in college when they are older?" Are they not of mature age when they are ready for college than they were in high school?" Shall our south ern girl be denied this privilege, the girls of all other sections long ago were granted their rights until today they are in q majority in many of the great uni versailles of the country?" Are girls from other sections more to be trusted than our southern girls?''
 Such are some of the questions ! thoughtful parents are asking. And they are answering them in action. Intelligent young women are no longer to be received by reactionary talk. They know what is going on and can not be misled.
 The University of Alabama offers fine illustration of what is transpiring in other American commonwealths. The young women of Alabama and adjoin- ing states are Hooking to our campus. There are nearly 30 of them here in winter, and over 1000 in summer. They recognize the fact that the university offers what they ought to have. There are more young women at the univer- sity doing work of standard college grade than at any other institution in Alabama.
 Courses in home economies. art, mu- sic and expression are being rapidly expanded. Violin is the most recent addition to the curriculum. Teachers trained in the best American graduate schools give these courses.
 What our young women need, how ever, is not merely the training we give them in home-making and in the fine arts, but also an independent living on the one hand, and to become use ful, able, and competent members of society on the other hand. That ideal the university approaches more nearly than any other college of this section.
 Social Life Of Young WOI~$l The social life of young women at the university is carefully guarded. The dean of women and her assistants de- vote themselves to that task. The problem of discipline. so far as young women are concerned, is the simplest problem the university has to meet. Rare, indeed, has been the need of dis cipline of any kind. There has not been in recent years a single case of serious discipline. On the other hand, the young women have helped wonderfully in the effort to raise, not merely the standard of conduct on the campus, but also the standard of scholarship. They have won the complete admira ton of the young men.
 Hutwiler Ball
 Tutwiler is the largest and handsom- est dormitory for women in the lower south. It is located in section of the campus apart from the young mems dormitories. It adjoins the presidents home.
 Advantage Of Location
 The university is ideally located in the charming little city of Tusca- l l.A.. La thic cmltmrah cnmmnnifv if
