Smith College and the higher education debate in 1877
Scribner's May issue reviews Smith College at Northampton founded with Sophia Smith's endowment of nearly 400000 to offer women equal access to liberal education. It notes the high admission standards, four year course, and substantial but limited intake, with critique of Greek and Latin focus and discussions of women’s prospects, health, and the role of women in society. It mentions Susan B. Anthony touring, debates on weather science, and politics including Republicans and Blaine, ending with the upcoming 1877 Women’s National Suffrage Association convention in New York on May 24.

Rights drive and mine labor strife across era markets
Efforts to secure rights under the 16th Amendment are urged, with appeals for funds to Miss Jeanie McAdam in New York. Reports note renewed mine explosions at Erie, wage disputes over coal at 75 cents per ton versus 19 dollars, and growing labor tension likely to bring further trouble. The Springfield Republican criticizes press complicity in public evils.
