Marrying Students.

Sometimes acquaintanceship is formed between pupils which results in marriage, and such marriages as have been the outcome of social intercourse here have been, from what I can learn, of a particularly happy character. A number of the women have married professors and are now pursuing post-grad-uate courses. “He who educates a woman, educates a generation.” Quite a number of the male students take their meals in Sage College, and the students of both sexes sit at the same tables. In many instances the men and women are brothers and sisters, cousins, or oldtime acquaintances, and the protecting influence of these relationships can readily be appreciated. The best manners prevail at the tables, and there is no mistaking the refining effect resulting from the co-eating arrangements.— Ithaca (N. Y.) Cor. Philadelphia Press.
