We feel that a reply to Mr. Fry's
comments on coeducation is indeed
in order. As members of the fairer
sex on the Grounds, we would like
to congratulate Mr. Fry on being
one of the first males to realize that
females are equal to, or superior to
males. Should this one characteristic,
though, be the prime reason
why females are deprived of an
excellent education? We think not
— rather, we feel that it is the last
effort by egotistical, insecure males
to hold on to their "supremacy."
We believe that the accusation
that "this is a man's society" is an
1800 vintage anachronism. Perhaps
Mr. Fry and others like him really
do not want to admit that the time
has long since come for women to
expect and demand the educational
opportunities provided by the
"greatest universities." Mr. Fry, do
you feel threatened "academically
and possibly politically?" Perhaps if
more males were challenged in this
manner it would be to the educational
advantages of both sexes.
Co-education is a reality and if it
is a reality that you fear then you
have lost the broad minded attitudes
that befits a gentleman and a
scholar.
