...often the case that nothing but a bank account distinguishes the capitalist from the socialist. Justus Schwab says, "Shoot the rich man;" and the rich man says, "The public be blanked!" Ignorance is the only common bond between them, and that fosters their mutual hate. The poor men and self-styled reformers who met at Irving Hall a short time ago had for their motto "Ni dieu ni maitre," and their speeches showed that it was appropriate. They serve neither God nor man and know no master. Only education can reach them. They seem to be at the bottom...

Not only in the matter of instructors are American women ahead of their sisters across the water, but in the number of colleges devoted to women's education and in the number of students attending them. Here, Vassar, Smith, and Wellesley are devoted solely to that purpose...
...truly a matter of congratulation that Yale has such a height of self-satisfaction. Nevertheless it is true that every Harvard man who reads the above quotation must feel in some slight measure the force of the criticism implied therein. We do not mean to disparage the recent conference. We hope it is only the first of many more such meetings, called to discuss both other as well as similar subjects.
