They all agreed that 24 or 25 is young enough tor a girl to marry; bat they differed upon the other question. Some of the younger students with whom X discussed the matter were disposed to think there was a large percentage of the girls who definitely intended not to marry, but to devote themselves to some. specific ca reer, some chosen art or profession. But a senior to whom I put the question woman of brains and observa a ana who n&s written quite extention younj sively on college topics as well as la other fields assured me szailinsly that this was a mistake.
