A committee of the Association of Collegiate Alumnae, says the New York Evening Post, has made a table showing the sums given by women during the last thirteen years to colleges for men only, for women only, and for men and women together. In spite of the fact that in 1880, with which year the report begins, Vassar College was already fifteen years old, and that the desirableness of the higher education for women was therefore already patent, it appears that during this time women have given five times as much for the education of men alone as for the education of women alone, and they have given nearly twice as much for men's colleges as for women's colleges and mixed colleges put together. During only two of these thirteen years has Harvard failed to receive considerable gifts from women, and the total amount received by Harvard alone exceeds the amount received by all the women's colleges put together.
