Women In the Professions.

Women have made astonishing progress in the professions. They are found in the pulpit and in the editor's chair, on the stage, the platform and in the courts. They can point with pride to Harriet Hosmer as a sculptor, to Rosa Bonheur as a painter, to a book illustrator like Kate Greenaway, to an organizer like Frances Willard. "Among those who are professors may be mentioned Mrs. Rachel Lloyd, professor of analytical chemistry in the Nebraska state university; Miss Alice Gardner, professor of history in Bedford college, London, elected over twenty male competitors; Miss Alice Freeman, doctor of philosophy and president of Wellesley college; Mme. Kovalevsky, professor of higher mathematics at the University of Stockholm, and Mme. Ogonovsky, professor of Slavonic literature. - Detroit Free Press.
