Study Birdwood Plan

Another major consideration
of the committee will be the
success of co-education at other
schools, notably Yale. Also the
"Birdwood Plan," whereby women
would attend humanities classes
at their own campus and science,
engineering, and architecture
classes with men, is being
given top priority.

Speaking as a teacher, Dean
Woody said he favors mixed
classes. "But this is because of
my field. A vast number of
French graduate students are
women, and on the whole, women
are more interested in languages
than men."
