Pembroke Hall, for the accommodation of the women's college of Brown Univeisity dedicated to the higher education of the gentler sex on Monday last, is thus described by a writer in the Boston Herald . Pembroke Hall is situated on Meeting Street, but a short distance from the main buildings of the university. The structure is of brick, ot a most picturesque style of architecture, somewhat suggesting Nuremberg. It s of three stories and contains five large recitation rooms. The interior finishings are plain, but very substantial. The really ornate feature is the library. The frieze is rich beyond description, and nothing like it can be found in this country, ll is the work of Hippoly te L. Hubert, a native of Providence, whose study was prosecuted in Paris and at the Royal Academy art school of London, where for seven years he was an assistant to Sir Edgar Boehm. The frieze required eight months work on the modelling alone. It is of plaster and s of an stucco, and but seven-eighth- inch thick. The thirty-thre- e figures 42 inches high and the relief inches. The entire frieze is finished in old ivory, and appears to have been carved from that precious substance. Soon after President R. B. Andrews came to Brown he recognized a demand here for the education of women. He found that the faculty were in har mony with his views, and in Septem- ber, 1891, Brown University opened all its examinations to women, and in 1892 it opened all its courses of graduate instruction on the same terms as to men. Louis F. Snow, A. M. as dean, was placed in charge of arranging the classes, and was made responsible, to the end that the expenses should not exceed the resources. The first class to receive the A. B. degree numbered but two. Three years later This year it numbered twenty-sevethe attendance is most gratifying, and excellent results are being attained. Two scholarships, with an annual income of sixty dollars, have been founded by two ladies. The Rhode Island Women's Club pays one stu n. dent's tuition each year. Gasper Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution offers prizes for yearly competition aggregating forty dollars, and funds are coming in as friends are made. The social life of the students includes three secret societies with literary aims. They are the Alpha Beta, Kappa Alpha Theta, and the Delta Sigma. There is also a branch of the Young Women's Christian Association. The curriculum shows a list of seventy-fiv- e courses, given by eleven professors, ten associate and assistant professors, and eight instructors. Clubs for (Hen and Women. It will be at the risk, perhaps, of being misunderstood if 1 say that there is an element of inconsistency even in the women's clubs, which are now being so widely extended, and are doubtless doing, on the whole, so much valuable work. They originated, no doubt, in the monoply by men of all the features which make club life so absorbing to many that we see men described in the newspapers as clubmen," as if it were a recognized profession. Women have envied the variety offered by club life, its opportunities oi meeting, its conveniences, its libraries, its entertainments; and they have transferred many of these to womens clubs, after purifying and improving them by the transfer. Now that they have succeeded beyoi d all question, it is time to ask whether these institutions do not bring with them some of the very evils of which complaint was made when clubs were monopolized by men evils of which the separation of the sexes is the head and front. To one who believes, as I do, that of the sexes, so the equal far as their natures and functions mit, is the goal of modern society, that in schools, colleges, professions, and homes, the courts, voting-placemutual influence of men and women is essential, there is a distrust of all that separates them. I have never belonged to a club or society of men which I did not think would be improved by admitting women as members; nor have I ever addressed a co-operati- on s, |
