Girls are not allowed equal privileges and advantages there; they
are not allowed instructions in elocution, nor to speak on
commencement day. The only college in the country that places all
students on an equal footing, without distinction of sex or
color, is McGrawville College in Central New York. Probably
Antioch College, Ohio (President Horace Mann), will also admit
pupils on the same ground.

Mrs. ROSE said she knew of no college where both sexes enjoyed
equal advantages. It matters not, however, if there be. We do not
deal with exceptions, but with general principles.

A sister has well remarked that we do not believe that man is the
cause of all our wrongs. We do not fight men--we fight bad

punishment. "It is time to consider whether what is wrong in one
sex can be right in another. It is time to consider why if a
woman commits a fault, too often from ignorance, from

in her helplessness, in her ignorance, in her inexperience and
dependency--why a being thus situated, not having her mind
developed, her faculties called out: and not allowed to mix in
society to give her experience, not being acquainted with human
nature, is drawn down, owing often to her best and tenderest
feelings; in consequence also of being accustomed to look up to
