The seventh annual report of the Society for the Collegiate Instruction of Women has appeared and affords very interesting reading matter. The general status of this institution which we like to call the "Annex" seems to be very satisfactory to its officers.

The society is slightly in debt but the purchase of the new building is mainly accountable for this deficit. The steady advance in the number of students, from 55 last year to 73 this year, and the increased interest shown by outsiders in the progress of the society are very favorable indications for its future enlargement. There is more community of feeling between the students than in former years although they have come together from thirty-two different colleges and they have an annual "Commemoration Day" observed in the same manner as Class Day. They also have clubs for debate and amusement and have even gone so far as to provide themselves with a tennis court.

Another gratifying fact is that "there is a growing demand for the students as teachers in schools," and also that the reference library has been largely increased by the munificence of friends and patrons.

The report ends with the inevitable appeal for contributions; but as a whole leaves the impression that the society is in a fair way to fame and prosperity, We extend our congratulations to our "sister" institution and wish her the greatest success.
