...understand Johnson's appeal to the language of "egalitarianism" and the importance of equality of opportunity. But we must remember that there are plenty of single-sex organizations at Harvard which do not exist because of some latent sense of gender superiority. I refer to organizations such as the Din and Tonics or the Radcliffe Pitches which have all male or female membership.

The numbers are especially impressive when you consider that except at a few sleepy British and Swiss institutions, the private-banking industry didn't exist until the 1980s.

McGuinness '99 had assembled a small production team before applying for a spot on the Loeb Mainstage this semester; when their application was turned down, that seemed to be the end of it. Few other spaces on campus are large enough to provide the technical versatility necessary for a production of this size...
