STILL HIGHER EDUCATION AT VASSAR Education, contrary to the popular belief, does not stop with a college degree when one is in the twenties. Vassar is about to open a new gradu- ate school without a dean, faculty, professors, or courses of study. It is primarily intended to be a sort of workshop for Vassar graduates who wish an opportunity to "return to write the book or play they have held in the back .of their brains for years, or take up the study of better schools and prisons, and do the reading every woman plans to do, but scarcely ever finds time for with her duties 'as housekeeper." Michigan has always opened her' doors to anyone who wished to avail himself of the privilege, but this hovel' institution at Vassar will be the first of its kind, distinguished as it is by the name of a graduate school, a de-1 partment of the system at Vassar It1 i I 1. - I ~ tRLL YES "'wfif -a 1I rl CAMPUS OPINION E 1111111111 Jill 11111111111111 P EDITORIAL STAFF Telephones, 2414 and 176-M &ANAGING EDITOR HOWARD A.

Rather an exaggerated statement how-' ever in view of the facts in the lives of the average alumna of that college. Still in the first place statistics defin- itely prove that comparatively few, Vassar graduates are married, and those who have undertaken a business or artistic career are as welcome to attend this unusual school as the so- called "bored wives." In the second place, concerning the married alumna it is an indisputable 'lact that when her family has grown up and moved away to begin their own lives, she is released from her chief worries and cares, and finds timej hanging heavily upon her hands. Al.. most every woman will admit that this is anything but a pleasant release for this reason: a man's business interests ordinarily occupy his mind and time until he has approached his allotted three score years and ten, but when a! woman's business of raising a family has been completed, usually before she has reached the half century mark, she finds herself with no urgent de-I mands ,upon her time, begins to pity herself and imagine herself neglected,' and is, on the whole, vaguely discon- tented and unhappy. This unique school provides an out- let for the energy and vitality of these women who, for the most part are still mentally capable of carrying out' the anbitions of their youth, and gives, them a suitable place in which ,to worlk in comparative detachment. c Undoubtedly some of them will be doomed to disappointment for they will find that their dream master- pieces will obstinately refuse to ma- terialize. But on the other hand, we have the examples before us of thosej who; without the aid of an institution such as this have "come back and made good.

F r THROWING STONES IN GLASS HOUSES, However much the action of France in her drastic German policy has con- tributed to world unrest and dissatis- faction, the culpability of the rest of the allied nations is unquestioned. The cruel, self seeking policies of Poincaire are beyond the power of any modern civilized power to sup- port. France has seized her oppor- tunity to wreck a terrible retribution upon the people of her nearest and greatest enemy and, with the oppor- tunity in her grasp, she will not be diverted from her objective, no matter what the cost to the German people or to the world at large.l Great Britain and the United States, f I i I however, carry upon their shoulders a large burden of the blame. The re- fusal of Poincaire to meet representa- tives of these nations in a conference whose chief aim was to weaken his own position while leaving untouched the benefits received by themselves in the treaty of Versailles was not un- reasonable. Englandtinsists upon re- taining her hold on the German col-I onies which she received as her share of the spoils. and the United States refuses to consider any discussion af- fecting her war debt. It is small won- der then that France, whose only hope of immediately collecting her repara- tions from Germany lays in the pur- suiance of her prcsent Ruhr policy should refuse o it)up voluntarily whatever addamit: ew she now holds.
