Whatever may be the outcome of these speculations, however, the growth of the Harvard annex must be very gratifying to friends of the higher education of women throughout the country. The project has now ceased to be merely an experiment, and has become established upon a firm and lasting basis. Practically, nevertheless, we do not expect to see co-education introduced at Harvard, although we confidently look to see many privileges accorded to the students of the annex in the near future, which have hitherto been withheld. There are numerous courses conducted by means of lectures in some of the larger recitation rooms which might, with propriety, be thrown open to them, and they could also be encouraged to use the library more by having books reserved for them in their different courses. We mention these only as examples of reform which may be looked for. But, as for co-education to any further extent than this, the day seems very far distant when it will be realized at Harvard.
