two standards of efficiency, one for the man and another for the
woman. "Think your best thoughts, speak your best words, do your
best work, looking to your own conscience for approval," was her
charge to women forty years ago.... The higher education of women
should be added to the list of causes for which she and other
women struggled. She has lived to see the work of her hands
established in the gaining of educational and social rights for
women which might well be called revolutionary, so momentous have
been the changes....

It seems almost inexplicable that changes surely as radical as

indifference, due to preoccupation in other lines of work;
acceptance, due to appreciation of what the work for equal
suffrage has accomplished. It has been a work positive rather

things of life and to ignore the unessential and for this they
are grateful....

The college woman is beginning to wonder whether it is worth
while to reckon the mint, anise and cummin while the weightier
matters of the law are forgotten. For a larger outlook on life we
are all indebted to Miss Anthony, to Mrs. Howe and to th
