Her subject is Political Economy, under the sub-title of 'Labor, the Economic Conditions of its Well-being,' and the course commenced on 21st. inst." Whilst American colleges for the education of women, such as Vassar, Smith, and Wellesley, have honored many women with appointments as professors and instructors, and Wellesley has a woman at its head, English female colleges have hitherto...
