steem of the faculty and the students. I wish that Prussia could have witnessed the success of her daughter on the night of commencement--the wreaths of laurel, and the incessant applause while she was on the stage. I, for one, felt quite proud to see my city acknowledge the foreign lady-student so gracefully. She is already practicing to some extent, and in every case gives the most entire satisfaction. I trust there will be no more college doors closed against our sex, for the reason that the male students do not want us. Let the professors and trustees be just.

From year to year she has written and contributed to our National conventions in Washington, and has been among the delegates on several occasions to address congressional committees.
