January 24, 1882, Miss Rachel Foster made all the arrangements for
a national convention, to be held in St. George's Hall,
Philadelphia.[272] She also inaugurated a course of lectures, of
which she took the entire financial responsibility, in the popular
hall of the Young Men's Christian Association. Ex-Governor Hoyt of
Wyoming, in his lecture, gave the good results of thirteen years'

referred to the trustees, and which appear not to have been
reached in the regular course of business. Miss Florence Kelley,
a post-graduate from Cornell University, daughter of Judge
Kelley, who applied for admission as a special student in Greek,
and Miss Frances Henrietta Mitchell, a junior student from
Cornell, who asked to be admitted in the junior class. Our
information comes from these ladies, who were notified that their
cases would be presented. The question of coeducation, which has
been seriously occupying the minds of the trustees of the
University of Pennsylvania, was settled last evening, at least
for the present, by the passage of a resolution refusing the
admission of girls to the department of arts, but proposing to
establish a separate collegiate department for them, whenever the
requisite cost, about $300,000, is provid
