...just this negative quality of the figures that may cause the more hopeful supporters of the Reading Period qualms of uneasiness. At the end of the first full year under the new system it was announced that the averages of the A, B, and high C, men were bettered and the lower grade men somewhat lowered. One would expect the proofs of the continuance of this tendency to be found in the Dean's List enrollment, for dealing as it does with a much smaller number it is more sensitive to changes affecting these upper strata of the student body...

If the General Assembly approves the recommendation of its General Council and allows woman the right to sit within the church in full equality with man, to serve as elder, evangelist, or minister, it will merely be granting its womankind rights long enjoyed in other walks of life.

Victoria Woodhull, or even "Captain Victor Barker", who deceived her valet and for six years masqueraded in London as a war hero, have...
