Higher Education of Women Says Few Colleges Grant Degrees
Mrs. Alice Freeman Palmer ex-president of Wellesley College states that among the nation’s top 60 colleges and universities only nine withhold degrees from women with Princeton the sole university denying honors to women. She notes postwar colleges have been coeducational and that most high schools are run by women, with about 50 percent of New England teachers being female. She says earlier claims that study of sciences, philosophy, or the classics harms a woman’s health or morals have been disproved.
