Book Description
Excerpt from The Ohio Alumnus, Vol. 3: December, 1925 So far as is known to the editor there has never been any serious cause for criticism regarding the conduct of Ohio University girls while out of the city on occasions such as are being discussed. It was his observation that three Ohio girls, properly and nattily attired and with signs on their backs indicating their purpose and destination, arrived in Cincinnati for the football game this fall almost as soon as the team which had made the trip by train. The girls were the objects of considerable interest on the streets of Cincinnati but so far as was observed they were not annoyed in any way and their personal conduct could not be criticized. Without doubt the problem as exists on larger campuses of larger universities is one of growing concern but here in Athens we doubt if more than a few, if any, of the girls have been guilty of unladylike conduct or a Violation of the properties - even conservatively Viewed. The question of the safety of girls on the highway, how ever, is a very proper one. In fact the safety outside one's own dooryard is these days a matter for concern. To the editor's mind there is a phase of feminine conduct which needs more seriously to be observed and curbed than an occasional harmless - ordinar ily - visit to a neighboring campus in a well-mannered, even if hilarious, spirit of adventure. And we refer to the smoking habits of undergraduate girls whether sanctioned, with restrictions, by college authorities or clandestinely prae ticed, as is the case in most institutions.
