Urban Attraction

Paying particular attention to
large cities, Mr. and Mrs. Porter
have tried applying to separate
institutions within the same
location. It is interesting to note
also one factor which has made it
hard for the University to actively
recruit women, according to Eric D.
Hirsch, Chairman of the
Department of English. He said that
many of the single women who are
finishing graduate school now are
attracted to the large urban areas
such as San Francisco, Chicago, and
New York. Let us hope that the
seemingly closed environment at
the University isn't discouraging
qualified women applicants.
