The Boston Normal School, the Girls' High School 

 and the Public Latin School for girls, fully cover the 

 demand for the higher education of women. The 

 latter institution is the fruit of the efforts of the 

 Society for the University Education of Women, and 

 its graduates enter the female colleges with ease. 

 Wellesley, the " College Beautiful,'^ as its students have 

 fondly christened it, is situated close to Boston in the

 college in the world has so many students, or so beau-

 in 1875, ^yellesley has almost created a new era in 

 woman's education, and its curriculum is the same as 

 those of the most adv^anced male colleo-es. The Col- 

 lege Aid Society, which at an annual cost of from 

 $6000 to $7000 helps ambitious girlhood, for whom 

 straitened means would otherwise render a university 

 education impossible, is an interesting feature of the 

 college.

 been to American young manhood, and though its chief 

 departments ai'e located at Cambridge, it may still be 

 fairly ranked with Bostonian institutions. The tie 

 which connects the Cambridge University and the 

 capital of Massachusetts is closer than that existing 

 between mere neighbors — it is a veritable bond of kin-
