WOMEN HAVEf NOT.
HURT SCHOLARSHIP
Their Admittance .Has Not Had Looked
for Demoralizing Effect
on Studies
PROPORTION NOW ONE TO SIX
When the question of admitting
women to the university first began
to be discussed, it met with much op-
position. Folks rased their hands in
horror at the idea. Why! the demoral-
izing effect it would have. Scholarship
would just naturally take a high dive.
Oh! things would be dreadful, indeed.
And just when the university was doing
so nicely, too. After 30 years of suc-
cess, spoil it all by admitting the
women!
But no sooner was the resolution
passed, then the women came, that is,
the woman.. She was Amanda Sanford,
and she entered the Medical School,
graduating in 1871, which proves that
she came for .busines and not for the
novelty of the situation. , The next
year a few more came, and it was not
long before the total number of women
had passed the 100 mark.
The step was a bold one. Before
this time, co-education was unheard
of, and so cautious were its founders
in Michigan, that they did not mention
women in the resolution which formal-
ly allowed them to be educated at the
same institution with the men. This
was accomplished, however, by pro-
viding higher education for all the in-
habitants of the state, without men-
tioning sex.
These first co-eds (they were dubbed
that from the start) showed more
bravery than is usually credited to
women. They were regarded as some
species of freak, not normal human
beings at all. The attitude of hostility
toward them was so great that they
were not recognized socially. Their
lot was, indeed, a hard one, but they
accomplished their purpose and proved
that the scholarship of women could
compete with that of the men. It did
this and more. From the first, the av-
erage of their scholarship was higher.
And instead of lowering the standard
of male students, its effect was to raise
their scholarship. Especially in mixed
classes the rivalry is keen. In one
class today where the majority of stu-
dents are men, one young man jumped
up and down for joy when the marks
were given out, because his was one
point higher than that of the single
woman in his class. Later, he ad-
mitted that the joy was occasioned
purely because the woman's mark
wasn't quite the highest in the class.
That co-education was considered an
experiment, was proved by the fact
that President Angell who was greatly
interested in it, received inquiries con-
cerning its results from all over the
United States and even from England.
In these more than 40 years of co-
education it has proved its success.
Although regarded unfavorably at first
there is no record of any male student
leaving the university on account of
the presence of the women. In 1870,
at its inception, there was one woman
to about 429 men. Now the proportion
is one to six.

Theodore Harrison will be heard for
the last time of the year in the next
concert of the season, to be given by
the University Symphony orchestra,
at 4:15 o'clock Thursday, in Hill Au-
ditorium. Beethoven's "Emperor"
concerto will be played by Henry
James Dotterweich, formerly of the
school of music faculty, whose playing
has many times won the enthusiastic
approval of Ann Arbor audiences. Miss
Thelma Newell, who graduated last
year from the violin department, will
play Svendsen's worthily popular Ro-
mance, Op. 20. The only purely or-
chestral contribution will be Delibes'
sparkling Ballet Suite, "La Source."

history is brought out by the reappear-
ance of Beethoven's last and greatest

icy stare of the college bred "hafh

ent astonishment watched his lily-

minutes later the sporty trio were
gulping down food, escorted to their
beef crushers with silver plated knives,
and gaping at the bedroonm furniture,
in place of white lights and cabareters.
