ii lfll In
The Woman's Point of View
It has been suggested that a Collegi
ate Equal Suffrage association be or
ganized at the university of Nebraska
for self-educailon of the members in
suffrage, through the reading of the
claseical arguments and the history
and recent records of woman suffrage,
and through practice lu public speak
ing on suffrage.
Such a plan is bound to be met with
much opposition, but no one can deny
that the organization would be im
mensely beneficial to the equal suf
frage movement.
Many of the prominent women of
the faculty and the well-known girls
in school are very enthusiastic over
the proposed plan, for they realize
that the association can be very in
fluential in the election Jn 1918.
Schools where chapters have been
organized are Barnard college, Bryn
Mawr, Goucher college, Mt. Holyoke,
Milwaukee-Downer college, Oberlin,
Ohio, state university, Radcliffe, Randolph-Macon
Woman's college, St. Law
rence university, Swarthmore college,
Syracuse university, Vanderbilt univer
sity, Vassar, Wells college, Wellesley,
Western college, Woman's college of
Western Reserve, and Wisconsin university.
THERE'S A REASON
The edition today was originally
planned to belong entirely to the En
gineers, but as it has always been con
ceded that the best engineering is done
by the women (and the advertising
was contracted for), the "Woman's
Page" will have to run, whether the
men approve, or no.

Leta Stetter Hollingworth, '05, whose
thesis for a doctorate at Colombia uni
versity W8S accepted and published
sometime ago, is to come up for her
degree next month, and writes that "if
all goes well," she will have her Ph. D.
in a few weeks. She takes her degree
so long after the publication of her
thesis for the reason that her outside
work as psychologist for the New
York clearing house for the feeble
minded made it difficult for her to get
in her required course work. Her hus
band, II. L. Hollingworth, has lately
ben made asnociate professor at Co
lumbia. He had Berved about half the
time necessary before promotion at
Columbia, but had a very excellent
offer of a full professorship elsewhere,
hence his rapid advance at Columbia.

WHAT CHRISTIAN STUDENTS OWE
TO THE UNIVERSITY
By Evans A. Worthley
Mr. Leland has spoken of the some
what formal relationship which ex
isted between religion and education
In the early development of the Btate
universities, indicated by the insignia
of the institutions and by their char
ters and official documents. But be
cause they represented a significant
departure from the accustomed cur
riculum of older universities and col
leges in that little emphasis was given
to studies of a theological or religious
nature, it was inevitable that some
misunderstanding should arise. So we
find Thomas Jefferson writing to a
friend in 1822, in reference to the Uni
versity of Virginia: "In our univer
sity you know there is no professor
ship of divinity. A handle has been
made of this to disseminate the idea
that this is an institution, not merely
of no religion, but against all religion.
Occasion was taken at the last meet
ing of the visitors to bring forward an
idea that might silence this calumny,
which weighed on the minds of some
honest friends of the institution."
It is something of a far cry from
Jefferson's day to ours, but in a ques
tionnaire with which I am dealing, I
have the statement of a member of this
graduating class that "I have always
had the impression that the state uni
versity was such, a worldly place that
you would forget there was religion.
I have never been able to forget it. I
am afraid, however, the inconsistency
of Christian students makes it hard
for those who are not religiously in
clined to become Christians" So long
as it is possible for a student to come
to the university with that kind of an
anticipation it will still be necessary
at each "meetng of the visitors" to
emphasize the true opportunity which
exists for the culture of the religious
life in the atmosphere of the modern
university.
We do not have space to discuss the
cause of this widespread attitude to
wards the state universities. The
generous advertising of the unusual,
both in the conduct of students, and
in the utterance of professors, has
played its part. The correcting of
this impression is the matter of first
importance. It cannot be accomplished
by bringing a few "visitors" to the
university. Mr. Jefferson's idea was
a good one, but it is very slow in opera
tion. A sample of the university must
be carried to the "visitors" in their
own communliies. That student who,
either in the university or outside of
it is inclined to display his disregard
of rellgon, must be pardoned because
of immaturity, or prejudice, or both.
Certainly he does not represent his
university, and if he is fair, he will
seek to have that understood. On the
other hand, the student whose way of
thinking regarding the religious life
nas oeen Droaaenea ana aeepened by
their being here should ask themselves
whether they do not owe it to their
fellow students and to the university
to manifest their life, here and else
where, with that wholesome and un
affected emphasis that can neither be
misunderstood, nor fail to yield a har
vest of approbation on the part of all
who may be influenced by the "con
tagion of a good life." And who are
not?
