...publish in another column the announcement that Columbia will hereafter admit women to the School of Arts upon the same footing with men. This is a step toward progress, if we may judge from the high success which has been attained in similar actions by other universities. We need not refer to the work at present done by women at the Boston University and the university of Michigan.

...their meeting yesterday decided to admit in future to their institution women on exactly the same footing as men.
