INITIATION HELD AT MARTHA COOK Initiation services for 72 new wom- en were held in Martha Cook building, Sunday, Oct. 2. The speaker for the occasion was Miss Emily Sargent of Detroit. Miss Sergent was president of the first group of girls who entered in 1915, when the building was open- ed and is now a member of the board of governors. Miss Sargent told of the days when there were underclassmen as well as juniors and seniors in the building. In reminiscence, she recalled the formal opening of Martha Cook. On this occasion Governor Ferris, Presi- dent James B. Angell, the deans of the school and the architects of the new building were present. The ban- quet was held in the long corridor. Later the students in Martha Cook gave President Angell a birthday party cn his 87th birthday. It was at this time that the President dedicated the fireplace in the Blue Room. Martha Cook Alumnae are organiz- ing in different large cities where many of the old members are to be found. Co-Education Is Considered Dangerous M.E ATICLES ARE XV. A. A. Endeavors To Interest Women In Japanese Schools, Says Dr. Nakao In Outdoor Sports, Says Miss McCl.. BeiCDrinAPflDvwnlMu ___- _ Co-ed ication is considered danger- ous in Japan, according to Dr. Asa Nakao who has come from the Tokio Women's Medical College to study public health. "Thirty years ago in Tokio there was one school, the Saisei Medical in- stitute, which admitted women," the small Japanese student stated. "The' women were very misearble at this college, were made to sit in the corn- ers in the class rooms, and were look- ed upon with disgust by the men. But in 1901 coeducation was abolished as a dangerous custom, leaving the 20 women medics without means of con- tinuing their professional training. "That the practice of medicine by women, which was officially recog- nized in 1885, (lid not disappear in Japan was due to the efforts of Mrs. Yayoi Yoshioka, now a very well known woman in Tokio," continued Dr. Nakao. "Mrs. Yoshioka, coming to Tokio in her early youth, graduat- ed from Saisei Institute in 1890, and, although without material support for such an adventure, she determined to realize her ambition of establishing a medical college for her countrywom- en. "On September 5, 1901 this woman doctor, assisted by her husband who had been educated in Germany, found- ed the Tokio Women's Medical school. The first year only one woman grad- uated and only a few attended the in- stitution. It was a very poor school,, the pupils sitting on the floor about Mrs. Yoshioka, for there were no funds to supply modern school equip- ment. Often discouraged, Mrs. Yosh- ioka fought against the common uni- versal prejudice opposing colleges for women. "To increase the difficulties, the old system which permitted anyone, i . I whether a college graduate or not, to take the examination for medical prac- tice, was disturbed by the law speci- fying that applicants for examination must be college graduates. Then, for- tunately, the Russo-Japanese War hastened the awakening of the na- tion. Applicants for entrance to the Women's Medical school increased and the enrollment mounted to 200 stu- dents. Through the persistent efforts of Mrs. Yoshioka and her pupils, who aided her in giving musical concerts and other entertainments to raise money, the maintenance of the school was made secure. "The supreme triumph came when the school was recognized by the de- partment of education and raised to the rank of a college," Dr. Nakao said, concluding the history of her Alma Mater. "From an institution which could scarcely afford to buy a miscro- scope, Mrs. Yoshioka's school has developed into the present Tokio Women's Medical College, the only medical college for women in Japan." The Tokio Women's Medical College is attended by 700 women including more than 30 from China and others from Korea and all parts of Japan. The faculty consists of 25 professors and 30 lecturers representing the most learned men of the universities of Kao and Tokio. . Dr. Nakao stated that the Japanese government desired to take over the college, but Mrs. Yoshioka declined, as it is her plan that after her retire- ment the director. of the school shall always be a woman from among the graduates. "Mrs. Yoshioka is also ambitious to raise the institution to the rank of a university," Dr. Nakoa added, "on the same level with the men's medical schools."

In the spring, there will be a num- her of canoeing and house parties. Women who are interested in riding may be permitted to combine with the Riding Club. If this is done, riding will be a big feature of the spring's program. If anyone has ideas which they would like to see carried out, their suggestions are welcomed.

Yes, I agree: anything but the right thing, which is, of course, making a good score. The main thing that hap- pens to me is the disappearance of balls before my very eyes; and to mention minor things, I have had my head split open, and my ribs cracked, all in a game of golf. But it's a great game, as the saying goes, and doubt-. less possesses many benefits. The greatest of these is that it allows us to walk. Any chance observer would at once note the great affinity of Michigan men and women to walking, and although I wouldn't dare to speak for my fellow students I know that as for me, after I have walked down to campus from my house, which is a mere mile away, and back, three or four times, not toI mention all the casual strolling ef- fected between classes situated at op- posite ends of the diagonal, my only desire is to play 18 holes of golf or so. Unfortunately, I haven't as yet been my shoulder than some well-meaning friend comes along in a snappy road- ster and offers a lift. This puts me in a rage and I fling my bag to the ground. "That settles it," I shout, stamping my foot. "I didn't come out here to be offered rides. My day is ruined." With that I return to the house, walking my deperate walk and hissing. There are other benefits golf secures to its partisans. To some, it gives an opportunity for verbal self-expression. For others, it is a fine chance to ex- ercise their self-control. To some it brings patience. Others learn from it not to concern themselves with trifles. In short, like the exercises that are at the same time reducing and fatten- ing, it cures any desirable quirks in your temperament, no matter what they are. By all means, take it up, and emerge-the Perfect Woman!
