Most impressive of the gifts re- ceived by the Center was a combina- tion radio and phonograph present- Adoption Followed Years Of Agitation By Haven And ParentsIn Country By ELIZABETH M. SHAW Unquestioned is the co-ed's right to the privileges of higher education as Michigan women today honor the 70th anniversary of the Regent's pas- sage of the statute enabling women to enter the University. It was 70 years ago today, Jan. 5, 1870, during the acting-presidency of Prof. Henry Ftieze. that the Board "recognized the right of every resi- dent of Michigan to the enjoyment of the privileges afforded by the Uni- versity" and further affirmed that "no rule exists in any of the Univer- sity statutes for the exclusion of any person from the University who possesses the requisite literary and moral qualifications." The adoption of the resolution came after years of agitation for the ad- mission of women to the portals of higher education. In the same year, 1855, that the legislature of Michigan passed an act giving married women absolute control over their property, Dr. E. O. Haven, then a professor in the University, advocated the admis- sion of women on an equality with men. Interest in the question con- Sink Spot New Orchestra Gives Cooperation Promise Co Youth Group President Charles A. Sink of the tinued, an educators all over the country were consulted, but most of them, including President Henry P. Tappan and the entire faculty of the University, were opposed to the meas- ure. Amusing now are the numerous ob- jections made to the adission of wo- men to the University. Among the reasons for disapproval were: that women were not strong enough phys- ically to do the work, that they did not possess the mental qualities nec- essary to master the higher branches of knowledge, that it would cause untold disaster to the moral atmos- phere of the University, and that it would lower the standard of require- ments in the University and turn it into a mere female seminary. However, the women came, the first being Madelon L. Stockwell, '72, later married to Charles K. Turner of Kala- mazoo, who entered Feb. 2, 1890. No others enrolled until the following term when 11 entered the literary college, three took up pharmacy, 18 medicine, and two law. These first corers, being maturef and very earnest students, took and maintained the lead in scholarship in most of the classes. The example set by Michigan was a precedent soon followed by other state universities, for, while some small denominational colleges had admitted women, all larger institutions without exception turned cold shoulders to the co-ed. The first few years after the in- novation were not too pleasant for the girls,'however. Dr. A. B. Crosby of the medical department of the time. commenting on the manner in which professors in that department con- ducted separate classes for women, wrote to President Angell before the latter took office: '"The dear creatures are . .shut up in a room by them- selves, and, the decencies of life are all observed for which each Profes- sor receives $500 extra pay. The boys themselves did not take kindly to the innovation at first. Stu- dent journalists and local papers frowned on them and sometimes cast jibes, and many boarding places were closed to them, but after a few un- seemly demonstrations, the boys con- cluded to make the best of it, and follow on as best they could the lead- nrship of these progressive women. So today, 3,566 women on campus remember these pioneers who opened the way for the thousands of co-eds who were to follow them. Apothecaries Club Gains Recogniltion The Apothecaries of the College of Pharmacy became active as an offi- cial organization of the campus Dec. 15 upon recognition of the Committee on Student Affairs of the University. Organized as a social and educa- tional club open to all members of the pharmacy school, the Apothecar- les chose William Austin, '41P, as their president; Duane C. Parker, '41P, vice-president; Marjorie A. Kern, '41P, secretary; Ronald H. Chadwick; '41P, treasurer, and David A. Schlichting, '41P, general chairman of the annual Apothecaries Ball. Prof. Charles H. Stocking was named facul- ty adviser.

Professor Chang will be remembered for the exhibit of his paintings which was held last fall in the Rackham Build- ing. Prof. Habib Kurani, exchange stu- dent in the University, sent the Cen- ter a bundle of holly from the woods of Virginia. The Center was open throughout the Christmas vacation, although many of the foreign students spent the holidays at various international educational conferences throughout this country and Canada. The Uni- versity had representatives at con- ferences in several cities, including Chicago, New York and Toronto. University Makes Car Ferry Tests Tests on small replicas of the two automobile ferries that operate from Cape Charles to Little Creek on Chesapeake Bay were conducted in the University naval tank during the Christmas vacation, Prof. Louis A.

According to releases by the Na- tional Youth Administration the 109 young musicians will be recruited through the state offices of the NYA. Applications for the orchestra, for which both NYA workers and non- NYA young people are eligible, will be received up to Feb. 1, NYA Admin- istrator Aubrey Williams said.
