When the University of Michigan
opened its portals to women students
in 1470, it gave the practice of coeduca-
tion in colleges its first notable im-
petus. Michigan was, at that time, the
most important university, in the west,
being the only western college gen-
erally known in the east The step
was taken in response to strong public
sentiment, as demonstrated by two re-
quests by the state legislature, against
the will of the faculty as a whole.
Other colleges in the west had ad-
mitted women before this time. Ober-'
liin, by allowing women to enter in
1833, went on record as the first insti-
tution of collegiate instruction, where
arge numbers of men and women were
educated together. Six state univer-
sities, upon being founded, then follow
ed suit, Utah in 1850, Iowa in 1856'
Washinrgton in 1862, Kansas in 1866,
Minnesota in 1868' and Nebraska in
1871. Indiana, opened as early as 1820,
admitted women in 1868.
Then came Michigan's great step,
and the remaining state universities
quickly fell in line. In the same year,
Illinois .and California admitted wom-
en to their ranks. Ohio, the only re-
maining state university in the west
closed to women, opened its doors to
them in 1874. All state universities,
which have been founded since that
time, have allowed women to enter
from the first. .
In the south, Missouri, the most
western of the state universities, in-
troduced coeducation in 1.870. At pres-
ent, 'Virginia, Georgia acrd Louisiana
are the only state colleges closed to'
women.
The one state college outside of the
south and west, that of Maine, has had
women students since 1872.
The part taken by Cornell, which is
a state university only in a restricted
sense, in admitting women in 1872, is
as significant among private colleges
as the part of Michigan is among statei
colleges. The example of Cornell wasi
slowly followed by other private insti-]
tutions of the east, and at present'
those practicing coeducation are in the
minority.
With 336 of the 480 colleges for men
in the United States enumerated by the
commissioner of education in 1903, fol-
lowing the principle of coeducation,
the admittance of women to institu-
tions of higher learning originally
founded for men, is considered one of
the most important facts of recent
education.
The principal arguments against co-
education have been met and answer-
ed by experience. Statistics show that
the number of women entering coedu-
cational institutions is constantly on
the Increase. Women have averaged
higher scholastically than men, and
are able to live under the same uni-
versity conditions as men. The pre-
dicted evils of mingling the two sexes
at this stage have come to naught.

ART COLECION
DATE YEARS BACK
University Has Owned Many Works in
Alumni HallMore Than
Six Decades
HAVE: rTIWO GROUPS OF PAINTINGS
Of the daily visitors to Alumni Mem-
orial ball, .there are probably very
few vLo are aware of the history con-
nected with the art collections on ex-
hibition there. Some of the paintings,
and statues located there, have been
in the possession of the university for
more than 60 years.
The collection of paintings consists
of tvwo groups, the Lewis collection,
and the portraits of men and profes-
sors, closely identified with Michigan
affairs. Among the portraits in the
collection are those of former presi-
dent Tappan, ex-Governor John J.
Bagley, o Michigan, ex-Governor
Stevenson T. Mason, Hon James Mc-
Milian, and President-emeritus James
B. Angell. There is a tradition that
no portrait of a living professor shall
hang in Memorial hall. Dr. Angell is
the only Michigan man, now living,
whose portrait may be found there.
The Lewis collection, which is com-
posed of a religious group, a collec-
tion of French paintings, and miscel-
laneous works of art, was presented
to the university by H. C. Lewis of
Coldwater ,Michigan. With this dona-
tion of paintings, Mchigan's art collec-
tion may really be said to have begun.
Previous to the erection of Alumni
hall in 1909-10, they were on exhibition
in the old art gallery, located in the
library building.
Among the noteworthy works of the
sculptor to be found on the first floor
is that of "Nydia, the Blind Girl of
Pompeii," done by the famous sculptor
Randolph Rogers, '66. Among the re-I
plicas of famous Greek statues i the
collection are: "The Victory of Sa-
mothrace," "Hermes," by Praxtiles,
"Sophocles," "Apollo Belvidere," and
the "Niobe," and "Laocoon" groups.
Of much interest to lovers of art, are
the loan exhibitions of paintings,
which appear from time to time in the
west gallery on the second floor. On
the corridor walls of the second floor
is to be found a copy of the arch of
Benevento, presented to the university
by the class of 1896. The medalion
and coin collection, known as the Hor-
ace White collection was presented to
the university by Andrew D. White, at
one time professor at Michigan, and
later president of Cornell University.

THE SUMMIT OF TIE YEARS
By John Burroughs
(828 B972s)
Nature's philosophy is revealed in'
this volume of mixed essays by the
venerable desciple of the stream and
forest.- The author has most appro-
priately named his volume from the
first and longest essay, which is a
formalization of his doctrine of life,
drawn from his many years of obser-
vations and studies of wild life.
Laboratory naturalists are mildly at-
tacked in "The Animal and the Puzzle
Box," in which Burroughs points out
that the only stimulus which the pro-
fessor has for conducting his experi-
ments is hunger. In a companion es-
say, "The Key to Animal Behavior,"
the. author evolves his doctrine of in-
stinct, which contradicts the present
day psychology.
Burroughs has his study in a hay
barn, because but a thin wall sepa-
rates him from the outdoors he so
loves, and because the barn door out-
look is so broad. A barn floor is also
the ideal place to thresh out philoso-
phical grain, according to Burroughs.
Thy interesting volume concludes
with an .essay entitled "In Field and
Wood," which" is made up of seven
short sketches of the author's friends
of fur and featherF

Those who have heard the library
chimes every morning and evening,
perhaps do not know that their history
dates from the spring of 1882. It was
then trlat President Andrew D. White
of Cornell university, formerly pro-
fessor of history in Michigan univer-
sity, volunteered to be one of three or
four persons, to place bells in one of
the towers-of the new library. He was
joined in this project by Mr. J. J.
Hagerman and .Mr. E. C. Hegeler.
Prof C. K. Adams, -f the history
department, and later president of
Cornell university, was commissioned
to dispose of the old bell which was
then in use, and, if necessary, to use
any of the money obtained from it, for
the installation of the new bells. Pro-
fessor Adams received direction from
the Board of Regents'to make a selec-
tion of bells.
Professor Adams, together with
Prof. C. B. Cady, of the school of mus-
ic, went to Buffalo and Albany to see
the chimes there, which, at the time,
were supposed to be the best in the
country. After a somewhat extended

to give the order to the Clinton 14.
Meneely Bell Company at Troy, N. Y.
The bells were installed in the
spring of 1$83, and Professor Cady was
of the opinion that the bells cast for
this university, though not quite per-
fect when judged from a standard of
ideal eycellence, were more nearly in
tune than the chimes in Buffalo and
Albany.
Tho hells ring at 7:30 o'clock in the
morning, and again at 5:30 o'clock in
the evening. They are tuned so as to
strike the so-called Cambridge or
Westitiinster quarters, besides the
hour, or± the large bell. The bells, five
in number, range in weight from 210 to
3071 pounds.
The chimes are run by weights the
same as in a grandfather's clock, only
on a much larger scale. These must
be wound once every week.
