We advise that women unaccompanied take a Yellow Cab from depot to the Institute, 558 South Hope Street. Present rate from Santa Fe Depot is fifty-five cents; from Southern Pacific, forty-five cents. Immediately upon arrival at the Institute, men should report to the Superintendent of Men, and Women to the Superintendent of Women.
