New York has four colleges for •women —the Ingham University, Elmira College, Vassar and Rutgers Colleges. The latter has no endowment. The funds of the other three amount to a little less than 100,000 dols; their buildings and apparatus to a little less than 1,000,000 dols. More than onehalf of this is credited to Vissar College. Thus the State has more than 10,000,000 for the education of men, and less than 1,000,000 for the education of women.
