The so called "Classical'" ~·oursc of study with some modifications has pre­ v:iiled for many years. From time to time criticism o f the colleg curricula h:is induced some o f the co-educational
colleges to introduce courses in Tlome­ Economic~ for the women Other ,chools have adhered to the rule that if the womc·n come- thev must take the same courses, which arc offered for the men. Thi~ practice of rcta111,11g the old ~tandard curricula seems to he one im­ l)Ortant factor which has led to the cs­ tahlishml'nt of the colleges for women
The last score of years has hrough1 to th1• front the question of what courses should he ofTcrccl for women. Should thn t:1kc the same courses as the men ? • T he women·s college must answer this question. Clearly, the wo­ men's college 11111<;1 offer a training which i, cl1s1incli\'c or it ha~ no reason for hcing. The purpose of the older colleges for women was clearly defined.
In i\'onmher, 1836, Miss ;\lary Lyon founded }.lount Holyoke College, for the f)urposc of putting "within the reach of stmlt·nts of moderall.' m<'ans ~uch op­ llOrtunitii·, that none can find heller.
. . a lJ<'rmancnt in~titution con,t•cratcd to •he work of training youn1: women 10 the greatest usefulness"; . .. . and "one desigrwcl to he furnished w11h every advantage that the state of t•ducation in this country will allow."
Again, in 1861, ~l:llthcw Vassar took his stand in the mll'rest of the education of youn,:i women and secured the incor­ poration of Vassar College. In hi~ puh­ lic statement, he said, "It occurred to me that woman, hadnl( reccin•d from her Creator the same intelkctual con­ ,titULion a~ man, h:,~ 1he saml" ril{ht to iutclkctual cultun· and development."
"It is my hopl' to he the instrument in the hands of Providence of Found­ ing an institution which shall accomplish for young women what our colleges arc accomplishing for young men."
Earlier still in this section of the conn· try there was an interest in education. Tn i\ul:(nSt, 1816, Major George C. Sibley, of Pennsylvania, was married to Miss Mary Easton. and acquired land "in the Tndian country near St. Louis." In writ­ ing to his hrothcr Major Sibley said-

LINDENWOOD GIRLS LET'S GET THAT GATE Lindenwood College, which has re­
cently been admitted. to the standing of a senior college, had a box and four most attractive young gi rls f o n11cd a quartet and sang so sweetly that 1hcy attracted the attentiou of members of the "Adam and Eva" cast, who were so impressed that they requested introduc­ tions, and got them after the perform­ ance. It is said that both actors and students were equally thri lled, and Miss Molly McIntyre, herself, asked who the :rirls in the Lindenwood box were:
A n Illinois alumnus sang a solo from the University of Illinois box, and T n­ liana was represented by one woman who sang for her college. Mount H ol­ yoke College girls sang campus songs from a group of scats in the parquet. Wa shington University had a splendid quartet and gave some songs, reinforced by a large following in the audience. The entire gallery was occupied by Wash ington U niversity people and hit::th schoo l students.
A clever stunt was given by two St. I,ouis U niversity men. One with a hea vy gray wig, was digni ty itsel f and rep­ resented the college. H e asked the other man, "Alumnus," what he was doing at a party for women. A nd the Alumnus answered, "Although I went to a school for men, these arc the gi rls we mar• ricd." T hen the "gi rls", wives of St Louis U. men, sang a song to the efiect that they got their h usbands a t the St. touis University.
S upper-Dance a l Je ff er1on
J\ftcr the performance several hun­ dred in the audit·ncc got together for a hufTct supper party and clance at I Lotel Jefferson. The entire cast of Adam and l:.va wt·rt· J!UCsts of the College Club',; hoard of directors, and actors and aud­ i(•ncc met and mingled informally.
1'hc hoys and nurses Crom the Rc­ t·on,l rnction H ospital were 'gucsls of the College Club at 1hc play.
The College Club's scholarship fund is the means of sending through college twenty gi rls who otherwise would not be able to obtam a college education. The fund ()1"0\'idcs also for loans to ):"iris \\ ho \\ ish to arrange for their owu education, but who need some assist­ ance. Last year the College Club fund ncu ed $1,Soo from the benefit perform­ :111cc and it is expe<;tc·d 1ha1 the amount realized this year will he considerably more.
