...other sex, but when they assume the rights of men, they must expect to be treated like men. Harvard College was established for the education of men, as its charter implicitly if not explicitly declares, and unless it is openly announced as a co-educational institution, all women thus encroaching upon College rooms and College privileges are interlopers. If the Harvard Annex is merely another expression for co-education, as the course they have taken seems to prove, let us have no Annex whatever.

...question of convenience can easily be settled, it would seem, by transferring the course to Sever, or to some room where there are tables for the eight men who regularly elect the course, to write at. But regarding the tendency towards co-education, which the writer traces from allowing women to go to the evening readings, and permitting them to attend these lectures, we think that he overestimates the concessions made by the College.

...will be surprised, O friend of my bosom, to learn that here neither the men nor the women attach any importance to their hair. None of the graces of a closely cropped crown or a long plait adorn American heads. The men cut off their hair in places called barber's shops, where three times a week they have their faces painted white with a mixture of froth and fire-water.
