...crimes most heinous in the eyes of the University are those dishonesty or irresponsibility. Cheating and plagiarism, of course, usually result in an unexpected vacation -- and quite often a permanent one.

As for how college men might meet and marry girls destined for a deferred education, Mrs. Heilbrun says "these are matters that arrange themselves." She also argues that college does not make girls better mothers of "very young children," who need love, time and attention, gifts better given undiluted with resentment." To clinch her argument, Mrs. Heilbrun points at the mature women she teaches at Columbia's School of General...
