Separating Concepts

The Board of Visitors has
given President Shannon authority
to form a committee on "the
feasibility of co-education" if
Dean Woody's group reports
favorably. Realizing the difficulty
of separating the concepts of
"need" and "feasibility" Dean
Woody admits, "We'll just have
to accept it. We can't cover too
much ground at once."

A main means of the committee
to determine need will be
through addresses to the committee
by persons concerned. Dean
Mary Whitney is scheduled to
speak at the first meeting, with
Dean Cauthen slated for one
in the near future. Interested
alumni have also been invited
to speak, but, says Dean Woody,
"We won't turn it into 'open
house.' "
