PRESIDENT HTDB of Bowdoln

the subject of college men and women,

Interesting. He thinks that It la poaal-
"fele for a college woman to ba happy If
ahe wHl go Into the world .forgetting
that ahe Is different from other women
and not try to bring the world to her.
.Tou college women," he says, "have
something that the world has not. For

seamstress, the shop girt the factory

ence their contribution to the world Jts
your own; look-forward to ths time
when, after; years of . apprenticeship In
real life, you may do your little part
with something of the patient, modest,
'cheerful unpretentlousness and genuine
ness with which they are doing theirs."
President Hyde Hyde seems to think
that moat college women graduate with
a feeling of superiority over their lea
fortunate alaters. They do not aspire
to the common avery-day dutlea well
fulfilled of life. They would shine
i dowW it possible, upon Jth lesser world
with the light of literature, of music,
of art, or. falling that, they would aid
less fortunate mortals lnf .the gentle
ministry of the social settlement of the
eharfty organisation. Theae college
women would have nothing to do with
. common, homely-Intereete, or take op
their burdens .among the workers of
.-the world. '."Tou must bear on your
backs yovirare of the' world burden."
- he admonishes them, "and feel In your
heart your part . In the world Borrow,
In normal experiences within the home,
the ahop. the market, before you have
the slightest possibility of being able
profitably to shine down upon It from
above with artlntto. radiance - or social

Andrew Lang the author of "Custom

Investigating a poets' union, which
seems to be on of the new literary or

In the Independent regarding this new

"Poets, feeling a strong sense of their

part for the first time In a literary
competition of the French acad

Immortals" , my novel, "Fatal Love,"
which, of course, you have never read.
It waa printed, nevertheless, and printed
by myself. By this . I do not mean,
however, that I, myself, actually Set the
type and printed the book. I edited, and
paid the expenses, which Is more than
ths average author does. ..-
But -the gentlemen of the academy de
cided that the work was nydlocra, no
good, and I was hot abls to sell a single
copy.
Yet, I love that book, for It was the
first one I published, and because It
afforded me the pleasure of . being
laughed at. . ';
At that time I was only 20 years old.
and as vain and foolish as nearly all
writers are at that age.
I presented my book to the academy,
without letters of Introduction or recom
mendations of any kind. . I believed ths
"Fatal Love' waa good enough, and that
Its best recommendation waa its worth.
Consequently I was the moat disap

the "Forty' Immortals", of the French

copy of your 'Fatal Love,' and do t not

lines dedicating the hook to him. He
will do aomething for you." . , j- -
