...Society for Political Education, of which the central branch is in New York, is increasing its sphere of work and bids fair to be successful. Any one can become an active member by paying fifty cents a year, and by promising to read certain books.

...compensations, if once introduced, must be carried on indefinitely to arrive at any real equalization of the amount of work done in different branches. This is manifestly inadvisable, while it is undoubtedly well to give such credit in all branches as is implied by the attainment of a certain distinction.

From the point of view of the writer, there is, undoubtedly, a certain indecision in the action of the authorities; and the Corporation may, perhaps, very soon be called upon to define the position of the College with regard to co-education. For the present, however, we do not think that it can fairly be said that the College is tending towards coeducation, because it does...
