Of the graduates, 8 are women; 1 in the Law Department, 1 in the Literary, and 6 in the Medical

”The history of our work during the past year has only deepened the i the two previous years, of the entire practicability of iiate and professional education to the two sexes in the same schools If any have cherished a fear that the admission of women would tend to reduce the standard of work in the University, their attentionthe last three years we have been steadily increasing the requiree of studies Now certainly the wo the studies assigned in the regular curriculum as to call for any modification of the course on their account Their record is as creditable in all branches as that of their classmates of the other sex Nor do I see any evidence that their success in their intellectual pursuits is purchased at the expense of health On the contrary, I doubt if an equal nu women in any other pursuit in life have been in better health during the year I am persuaded, that with ordinary care and prudence, any one of our courses of studywoth None of the ainst the co-education of the sexes, have thus been found in practice here to have any force The admission of women has led to no new difficulty or embarrassment in the adht to a large class the benefits of such an education as otherould have been out of their reach, and has awakened through the State and the country, and even in foreign lands, a new interest in the University”
