We find, for example, that many of the State universities have found it more teasible to erect stadia for athletic games than dormitories for women, mainly for the reason that it is easier to raise money for a stadium project than to secure appropriations for housing. Vet with the large increase of woman students the latter prob- lem has hecome constantly more pressing. ““There is, too, an apparent tendency among American universities to create a variety of degrees for specific purposes, losing sight of the cultural requirements for which & ollege or university degree is sup- posed to stand. ““The committee on lefinitely decided upon a study to jetermine whether, now that the practice of according women places on college and university faculties has become more or less.general, and since the functions they perform are comparable to those of men in the same work.
