[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.
