Summary
Report of the Michigan Senate Committee on State Affairs on a proposal to establish a department for female students at the state university, the University of Michigan. While the committee notes that co-education has been successful in primary schools, union schools, private colleges, and in the State Normal School, it is not recommended for the state university. "The reasons urged for this exclusiveness is that of immemorial usage, the claim that never in any country have women been admitted to establishments of this class, and the fear that their admission to our State University would involve such a change in the management of that institution as would strike at the foundation upon which it is based; ... that any change, so radical in a system so well established ... cannot be effected without great danger to the institution in which the change is proposed; and that such change, if it does not involve the very existence of the University, most certainly will impair its usefulness and bring into imminent peril the character and reputation of its students." The committee decided that further exploration of the topic was needed, and that other university projects were of higher priority. The report is signed by H. Barns, Chairman.
