The sexes pursue the same courses of study "without harm to any one or to any interest, but with the most unequivocal mutual advantage." Lady students no more require a lady principal, matron or guardian than the boys need a mother or elder sister to take care of them.

Our hopes in this way are brightened by some recent utterances of his given in the course of a newspaper interview, wherein Mr. Wilde shows so much discernment and just appreciation that it almost seems that a mere statement...
