[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Princeton wasn’t until the 70s. Gross. [/quote]
Neither was UVA. Also gross. [/quote]i

As were all the Ivies save Cornell. And they are all - "gross", as you so precisely put it? lol

Yes. It was gross that, aside from Cornell and Penn, they didn’t start admitting women until 69-83.

[i]"For God's sake, for Dartmouth's sake, and for everyone's sake, keep the damned women out," wrote a Dartmouth College alum in 1970.

Dartmouth undergrads even hung a "Better Dead Than Coed" banner from a dorm window.

One Princeton University alum complained, "What is all this nonsense about admitting women to Princeton? A good old-fashioned whore-house would be considerably more efficient, and much, much cheaper."

Meanwhile, Yale University alumni worried about the "distracting" effect of women. "Gentlemen — let's face it — charming as women are — they get to be a drag if you are forced to associate with them each and every day," an alum wrote.[/i]

Extremely gross.

Yes, maybe it is time that some people stop being such blind sycophants to the Ivy League. The same “woke” institutions that are now lecturing everyone to critically examine their history ought to look at their own. [/quote]
