...when the doors are opened again at 12:55 a.m. to anticipate the one o'clock rush. But about one minute past the hour they are once again closed. Wellesley has a comprehensive honor system, but this is one phase of college life about which the administration is very strict. President Margaret Clapp summed it up in a letter she wrote to the class of 1959: "You will find us an informal group (though with a liking for propriety...

Most undergraduates of the time lived not in College-owned dormitories, but in rooming houses scattered around the Square. These houses, though lacking official proctors, were run by immensely respectable old ladies, whose strict enforcement of propriety would make today's Masters seem irresponsible rakes by comparison.

These limits should be raised immediately, so that additional choices in the Humanities and Social Sciences can be set up by next fall. The Class of '60's first encounter with the College curriculum might thus become a happier...
