...perhaps owe an apology to our readers for again trespassing upon the much-debated question of co-education. Direct testimony, however, from those who have had actual experience with it, such as was presented in the letter from Cornell, which we published a few days ago, and such as is given below by our Ann Arbor correspondent, cannot but be of some value. Besides this, we attempt to give below expressions of opinion from the several colleges where the advocates of co-education have been most actively pressing their claims of late - Columbia, Brown, and the University of Pennsylvania - expressions...
...Both sides, says a prominent Princeton senior, in an able article published in the initial number of The Student and Statesman, assume a false premise, viz., that the inter-collegiate contests affect but a small number of men.

By the aid of diagrams the dangerous condition of most public buildings was shown, and the average number burned for the last eight years was given. For churches the average is two a week. A diagram of a combustible hotel was next shown, warranted...
There is a shade of romance somewhere in the guileless soul of the undergraduate, a longing for the unattainable, perhaps, which suddenly develops itself at the approach of the opera season in particular; this was recognized by the "powers that be," and, with the readiness to supply all actual needs which characterizes all their actions, this branch of the college was founded and liberally endowed...
