WED ONLY FOR LOVE

Dean Virginia C. Gildersleeve of Barnard college declares that there are fewer divorces among college women than among any other class, because the college graduate is apt to marry purely for love and not for an occupation or a home. Motherhood, she declares, Is really a profession, and a good cook may be a better one for a knowledge of Greek. The greatest value of a-college education for girls, says Dean Gildersleeve, lies in just this: that it gives them a better balance, a more rounded outlook and a truer appreciation of life’s values. The picture is from a specially posed photograph of Dean Gildersleeve.
