Recalling President Bowen

Bill Bowen was an enthusiastic supporter of coeducation — a major issue when I entered Princeton with the third class of women admitted as freshmen.

A humorous aside: At our fifth reunion, our class regalia included small squirt guns. Some people upgraded their squirt guns to huge Super Soaker squirt guns. As we reached the reviewing stand at the end of the P-rade, some charged the reviewing stand with their Super Soakers. President Bowen shot back with his own Super Soaker! What fun!
