A ’73 Transfer Student’s Perspective

I transferred into the first co-ed class at Princeton (“It Put Steel in My Spine,” June issue) and recall it as a thoroughly positive experience, with the exception of a few professors who thought that authority permitted them to be sexually aggressive.

It would be interesting to hear from the 20 women who left Princeton, and I wonder if anyone has tried to contact them. I think that having gone to a coeducational secondary school helped me cope with being in a coeducational university and wonder if some of the educational secularism came simply from men who could not fathom an educational system for all.
