| the former committee, at the con-
| clusion of the Washington meeting
| explained that it was the purpose of
| the association to observe certain
| standards in the awarding of the as
sociation's scholarships.
There are" said Miss Dutton, seer
| tain tendencies in higher education
| in the United States in which the
women of the country, especially the
university women. are interested. We
| find, for example. that many of the
State universities have found it more
| feasible to erect stadia for athletic
games than dormitories for women,
| mainly for the reason that 1t is easier
to raise money for a stadium project
than to secure appropriations for
housing. Yet with the large increase
of woman students the latter prob
lem has become constantly more
pressing.
There is, too. an apparent tendency
among American universities 10
create a variety OF degrees IW
specific purposes, losing sight of the
cultural requirements for which
college or university degree is sup
posed to stand.
THE committee on standards mas
definitely decided upon a study TO
determine whether, now that the
practice of according women places
on college and university facultles
has become more or less. general, ana
since the functions they perform are
comparable to those of men IN the
same work. Because of their capacity
for administrative details there is
disposition to shoulder women WIN
this work and deny them equal OPP
