Those who have been opposed to the extension are, it is true, very numerous, and have felt strongly that they had good reasons in so doing. They have feared that broadening the suffrage to include graduates of other colleges who have received professional training in our graduate schools, might prove to be a means toward forwarding the interests of those schools...
