Last Saturday morning about 100 women came in froin Detroit to take part in the meeting of Collegiate Alumnae. For two days the. association had been in session at Detroit. The delegates represented nearly every American college of any importance, and their primary object in visiting Ann Arbor was to see the University of Michigan. They were met at the train and escorted to Tappan hall wherethe morning session was held. Pres. Harry B. Hutchins gave the address of welcome. He spoke of woman as the equal of man in the intellectual field. His class rejoiceel, he said, bocause they graduated before women were admitted to the University, but they have regretted it ever since. After an address by Dr. Mosher Miss Klaghorn read a paper in which she said women all expect to teach when they gradĂșate. There are only about a dozen pupils to each teacher ; henee the profession is over crowded and poorly paid. There are many other professions open to women and they should enter them. They suould venture more and not be so conservativo. After this the Alumnae adjourued to the gymnasium whero lunch was ser ved and a reception was given by the Woman's League.
