The Association for Promoting the Higher Education of Women recently published a pamphlet on "The Admission of Women to Universities." It consists of letters from President White of Cornell University; Dr. John LeConte, ex-president of the University of California; President Angeil of the University of Michigan; President Beach of Wesleyan University; President Warren of Boston University; President Fairchild of Oberlin College; Mrs. Louis Agassiz, on the development of the Harvard Annex, and others. These letters were written in answer to questions sent out by the association to the presidents of several American universities where co-education is in operation. The effect of co-education was asked on the standard of scholarship, the manners and morals of both sexes, and the health of women students, and whether young men had been deterred from entering the university because of its introduction, and if the "college feeling" had been lessened. The answers naturally were almost unanimous in testifying to the good effects of coeducation.
