Show f WHAT COLLEGE MEANS TO YOU ' flfl If I laugh to myself as I wrlto this, i 3j oh high school lassies, It's because I'm 1 fj t'hinking of a. college girl a freshman i $s who, on a certain evening not so very many years ago. sat with thump- Ing heart and stared eyes for a full J half hour in dread anticipation of the ft ordeal of a man caller. I'm not going to toll who she was! MfV'.i Needless to say, she had not gone to a (HyM co-educational high school, and had r-r-'U never known many boys. She regard- id them as creatures of an alien and M ' difficult species! yfaj College cured her in this fallacy, as $Q it has cured many a girl. It taught her iyl to meet men on a basis of comrade- Uffil ship, to be at ease with them, and to j judge them n human beings of tho tnxfA same order ns herself, and not by any fifof standard of mero sex. This is why I hope, high school girlies, that you are going to allow xWai the fricRds!ll!) of men to mean much weasel to you m -'ou'" college life. Siijcd I01' thero are two classes of one- Ygjm sided women in this world; those who ljV regard men and matrimony as the Vj'H only worth whilo object of a woman's fjp existence; and tho other class which professes to "scorn" men, and to havo I nothing whatever to do with them. j There In something abnormal and! rcpellant about both these classes. , You will want, after graduation from college, to bo enrolled In another group, that to which belong all the fino-souled women who consider men as their friends and working partners, whether in business or in the homo. It j is this class which is' holplng to keep i tho business world clean and homo i life charming. ! Will you let your collcgo years make you a member of this third group? ' ' i You can, if you will allow them to bring to you not only intimacies with girls, but also the friendships of high-, minded, ambitious men. I |
