T he  Home  for  Our  Girls. 

F or  some  two  years  we  have  been 
talking  about  what 
the  Women's 
Building  was  to  be;  now  it  stands 
ready  before  us 
in  real  brick  and 
stone,  and  we  propose,  as  briefly 
the 
to  describe  what 
as  possible, 
Women's  Building  actually  is. 

To  those  w ho  are  familiar  with 
the  College  grounds  it  will  be  suffi 
cient  to  say  that  the  building  stands 
about  half  way  between  Howard 
terrace  and  the  Horticultural  Labor 
atory  a  little  forward  of  aline  drawn 
between  the  nearest  corners  of 
the 
two  buildings  named,  and  covering 
about  half  the  length  of  that  line. 
To  others  it  will  be  sufficient  to  say 
that  it  occupies  a  suitable  position  in 
the  general  plan  of  campus  build 
ings,  and 
its  windows  com 
mands  a  wide  view  of  the  landscape. 
As  originally  planned,  the  build-

T he  W o m e n 's  Course  at  t he  Agri 

cultural  College. 

T he  aim of  the  Women's  Course 
at  Michigan  Agricultural  College  is 
not  unlike  the  aim  of  every  other 
college  for  women  in  this  country, 
that  is education.  We offer  a course 
of  study  with  a definite  end in  view, 
the  development  of 
resource,  of 
in  young  women.  T he 
power, 
method  used at the Agricultural  Col 
lege  differs  somewhat  from  that  of 
other  colleges.

ideals  of  womanhood  have 
changes.  We

remember  the cry for the  "feminine" 
and  the  objection  to  higher  educa 
tion  for  women  because  it  destroyed 
the  graces,  the  helpless  appealing-
for-protection  quality  essential  to 
the  "feminine"  as  defined  by  many 
persons.  Despite  protest,  however, 
women  insisted  upon  higher  educa 
tion;  they  would  even  be  "mascu 
line"  rather  than  fail  of  trie  training 
to  men  in  colleges.  T he

pendulum  swung  from  one  extreme 
to  the  other;  science,  mathematics, 
classics,  standing  for  education,  must 
be  had, no  matter  about  their  appli 
cation  to the  life  of  the women  who 
studied  them.

To  study  the  same  subjects  as men, 
because  men  studied

women  after  all.  T he thought  that

ALL  MEATS  . . .. 

May  look  alike  to  you, but there  is  a 

very  great  difference  in the quality  we han 
dle  and  that  sold  by some  other  markets. 
We  handle  none  but  the  very  best.  Like 
the  pudding,  the proof  of good  meats  is  in 
the  eating.  A trial  will  convince  you  that 
you  ought to trade  with us. 

We  make  daily  trips  to the  College.
