...solving the difficult problem and show them that here, at least, popular prejudice has been changed by the successful result of an experiment. That woman ought not to receive the same salary as men is evident, because they are personally weaker and cannot endure what men can. Yet, to say that a women ought not to get a degree, simply because she is a woman, even when she passes the same examinations and does the same amount of work as a man, is unreasoning obstinacy. Let us hope this simple question will be settled without more...

Of course, what a student breaks he is expected to pay for. There is no extra expense whatever beyond this amount, and the college could...
...classmates of Young Allan Arthur at Princeton are not overpleased with the favoritism and leniency shown him as the president's son. They say that he passes successfully through all examinations, though the standard is very high and examinations rigid, and he is not a good scholar at all. He is said not to average three days in a week at Princeton and is in New York or Washington, and sometimes absent three weeks at a time...
