It is gratifying to note the remarkable growth of the institution popularly known as the Harvard Annex. Since the Annex was opened twelve years ago its growth has been steady, consistent, and rapid. The success which has attended this institution is another attribute for Harvard and Harvard methods. It is true, indeed, that the Society for the Collegiate Instruction of Women has no legal connection with Harvard University; but there is in fact a much closer tie between them. Harvard rules and precedents govern in all departments of work at the Annex; the requirements for admission are the same; the examinations for admission are incidental; the courses of instruction are repetitions of courses given to Harvard students, and are given by Harvard instructors; the requirements for the degree-certificate are the same as those for the college degree; and finally, the methods of work and the standards are the same; the elective system is found working there in its purest form, and the same complete freedom which characterizes our own college life is equally characteristic of life at the Annex. In other words the methods which have proved so satisfactory in the education of young men have been tried with equally satisfactory results on young women. There can be no question but that the Annex is recognized as the first woman's college in the land. To have won this position in so short a time, against prejudice, and against competitors long established in the field, is no small achievement. In the glory of it Harvard is glad to share.
