r any modification of the course on
their account. Their record is as creditable in all branches as that of
their classmates of the other sex. Nor do I see any evidence that their
success in their intellectual pursuits is purchased at the expense of
health. On the contrary, I doubt if an equal number of young women in
any other pursuit in life have been in better health during the year. I
am persuaded, that with ordinary care and prudence, any one of our
courses of study may be completed by a young woman of fair ability
without undue draft upon her strength. None of the many objections,
which are still raised against the co-education of the sexes, have thus
been found in practice here to have any force. The admission of women
has led to no new difficulty or embarrassment in the administration of
the Institution. It has certainly brought to a large class the benefits
of such an education as otherwise would have been out of their reach,
and has awakened through the State and the country, and even in foreign
lands, a new interest in the University."
