HperlaJ Corrwipondeiioe.l Wei.lkmi.kt, Jnly Sl.Thers re only three women in this country who hare achieved the distinction of being presidents of a college of the tirxt rauk. They are Miss Ada L. How.ird, the first, and Mr.

Alice FrwuLin Pid. mer, the aeoonil president of Wellesley college, and Miss Helen A. Sbufer, who bow holils the jxwition. Whn Wellwilejr was started, its founder, Sir. Hennr F.

Unrant, aakeil Miss Ilowanl, who had been a distinguished teacher, to become Its head. When she i .7 Ta. MRU. AUCI FRkEMAif PALMER. refused, fearing to undertake so large a task, be persuaded her by promising to aid ber constantly in the work.

She finally consented, and Mr. Dorant kept his word, sustaining her in everything as long as he lived. When his death oc. currvd, in 18tta, she broke down com pletely, and was soon obliged to resign becanse of ill health. Was Howard is a striking looking wo man now past middle age.

She is not tall, bnt dignified in bearing, with a strung One face and snowy hair arranged in puffs on either side of her head. Her eyes are blue and full of expression. while ber voice is peculiarly sweet. A native of New Hampshire, she was first educated in the library of her father, William Hawkiiw Howard, afterward at New Iiwich academy, and the Lowell liinH school. She was graduated from Mount Ilulyoke in 1K33.

Beside this she had had private instructor in various branches. For several years Miss Iloward taught at Mount llolyoke, then at the Western Female seminary, at Oxford, finally becoming pnnciiitil of the ladles depart ment of Knox college, situated at Ualea burg, Ilia, Then she had a boarding and day school of her own at Bridgetou. N. taking chargoof one that had been established some ten years. From there she went to Wellesley in 1875, when the college opened.

About 300 students were admitted, bnt it was found that only forty were well prepared. Moat of the others had to be put into preparatory work, or in some way their attainments had to be "evened up," for if lifted in one branch, they wonld lie deficient in others. But the place had been named a college, and it was not a ari of its plan to have a preparatory department. All in authority saw that and worked so hard and well that in three years the preiiaratory de partment was auoli.iued. "1 think I was nn assistance to Mr.

Duraut in carrying ont his plans," said Miss Howard. "They were very sacred to me, and we worked together in great hanuouy. I wished to resign long before I did, bnt it seemed necessary to remain. She did remain, bnt at the expense of her health. She has been practically an invalid ever since, and lives qnietly at her home iu Methuen, weak in body, but with her old cuthnxl asm and love for the college nndi minished.

Meantime there had come to Welles ley two heads of departments who have since played an Important part in the college history Miss Sliafer, to the choir of mathematics in 1876, and Miss Freeman, to the chair of history 187. The latter was a quiet, slight young woman of twenty five or thereabout. but retiring as slie was, Mr. Duraut had seen erideiRva of ability in her and be X. A COI.LKOR HAIX, WELUWI.EY.

fore his death had recommended Per to the trustees for advancement. Whu Miss Howard was comjielW suddenly to leave for a tune, Miss rreeimn was maile vice president, to a.snume the dnties of her chief. But the latter never came back, so in September, 1NJ, Mi freeman was made president. Always a hard student, she entered Michigan university, nt Ann Arbor, in 1H7J, and in her junior year went out to teach, being preceptrewiof a high school at Ottawa, with HHI pupils nnder her charge. In vacation she made up the studies lost iu her alisence and wsa graduated with her class, receiving one of the commencement honors given that year at Ann Arbor for the last time.

After graduation Miss Freeman taught three years in leneva Luke seminary. near Chicago, nnd studied for her master's denni, which slm received in 177. Then she lM eaiue of a litti.ig school in Hast Saginaw, remain ing two years, nmil her call to Welles ley, Her work I hero profesmr of hi tory wui of ltiirTt order, and iiersonnlly she endeared herself ti the studentn under her i istroction. When sho was made president her splendid executive ability became evident. It was a heavy oilmen iimi Mie h.

Mis fur is uevarthelts to be considered a AY western woman, for her tamlly moved west when she was bnt a child, Bhe was fitted at home and at private schools for Oberlin collide, the tint, or one of the first, to open its doors to women. She was graduated from there in 1N63, and later received the degree of M. A.

from the same institution. She was known at Oberlin as a brilliant student in mathematics and a superior writer of fine essays. She taught ten years in St. Louis, where her excellent work gave her a reputation and associated her with such educators as Dr. William T.

Harris and Professor ii. H. Howison. A short rest followed this lulior and then she went to Wellesley. There she was one of the academic council, the legislative body of the college, comprised of the head of deiartinenU, Including the professors and associate professors.

In this body of bright women she became prominent and there was great satisfaction at her appointment to the presidency. While professor she was widely known outside as a brilliant and able mathematician, and one of the professors at Harvard said on her accession to the office she now holds, speaking of her ability to understand mathematics, "1 did not know that women had achieved such proficiency until I had studied the work of Professor Sharer." This present president of Wellesley is possessed of superior executive ability, skill in presiding and many social gifts. She is an enthusiast in her profession in. light qualification for the head of a school which sends out scores of teachers yearly over the country.
