Pamphlet, lacking any wrappers issued. 128 pp. A printing of speeches, bylaws, members and other official business related to the association. Among the speeches is one by Professor Agnew on education and women. Sexism abounds, essentially asserting woman is around to help men in their ambitions, and that education is the sphere of men.
