ve women county superintendents of schools, not an unusual
situation. They also hold other county offices and as in all States as
soon as the suffrage is granted are eligible to all official
positions.

The largest woman's organization is the Federation of Clubs, with a
membership of 4,000, a democratic body which has been able to do much
for the State in legislation, education and reform. The women of
Wyoming have been very conservative with the ballot and have never
used radical means to accomplish their aims. No woman's ticket has
ever been offered.

All institutions of learning are co-educational. Since 1891 there has
been but a short interval when women have not been on the Board of
Trustees of the State University. Grace Raymond Hebard was the first,
serving thirteen years. For eighteen years, 1891-1908, a woman was
secretary, acting also as financial agent, buying for the institution
and paying the bills. In February, 1913, Mrs. Mary B. David of Douglas
was appointed trustee by the Governor and displayed such unusual
ability as an executive that later she was unanimously elected by the
Board as its president, serving from September, 1917, to February,
1919, when she removed from the State. During her administration more

matters, of course in conjunction with the other members, won for her
from the Board and the parties involved the strongest commendation. At
one time a woman was seriously thought of for president of the
university but she refused to consider it. At present (1920) two of
the four most highly paid professors are women at the head of the
combined departments of Psychology and Philosophy and of Political
Economy and Sociology. There are five women on the Faculty, receiving

full professors in History, English and Home Economics. The professor
of Elementary Education and supervisor of the training school is a
woman and the Dean of Women ranks as a full professor. With the
assistant professors there are fourteen women on the Faculty.

On June 12, 1921, this university gave its first honorary degree and
very appropriately to a woman. With beautiful ceremonies the degree o
