Degrees.-The following table presents the summary, by States, of the number of different degrees conferred by colleges for women in 1889-90:

Course of study.-In the report of the Bureau for 1888-89 appears a table giving the courses of study in one hundred colleges and universities, including a few of the colleges for women of Division A. A similar scheme, somewhat condensed, has been devised for the comparative representation of courses leading to the degree of A. B., as given in fifteen of the institutions included in Division B. All the studies have been grouped under five headings, viz, language, mathematics, natural science, history and geography, and philosophy and civil government. An examination of the table will show that while a few of the institutions have a fairly good course for the degree of A. B., in other cases the same degree is earned quite easily. The course, as set forth in the latest catalogues of the several institutions, is as follows:
