Miss Florence Kelly, '82, daughter of "Pig Iron" Kelly, of Pa., well remembered as one of the brightest and most strong-minded women who ever attended Cornell, and whose marriage (as reported) to a distinguished Russian Nihilist was announced some months ago is well remembered at Zurich, Switzerland, where she was one of a little band of students who there sought the higher degrees which they were not allowed to take in other German Universities. While at Zurich, Miss Kelly was prominent in a woman's rights movement which resulted in sending a petition to Congress, though...

The Hemenway gymnasium - the most complete college gymnasium in the country, and the employment of two officials whose duty it is to superintend and develop athletic interests, answer this question emphatically in the affirmative.

Do the German universities maintain instructors in fencing...
