...optional coeducational living accommodations (by separate floors, entries or suites) in some Harvard and Radcliffe dormitories." The results were even more striking for Radcliffe students--they favored the idea by a margin of over 19 to 1. Another indication of the popularity of coeducational facilities is the overcrowding success of Lehman Hall, where it is common to find several times as many people waiting on line for meals as there are places in the dining hall...
...house in Charlottesville, Va., or Ambler, Pa., or Scott City, Kans.; and that's where he grew up. He wore short pants until he was twelve, then went downtown on the streetcar with his mother to get his first pair of knickers.

Quennell notes that his sexual adventures were "of a mercenary and transient kind," and that his platonic pursuit of Lady Mary Wortley Montagu, the one real love of his life, ended unhappily...
...experiment's chances for success probably depend on how much undergraduate effort goes into organizing an exchange in the next few weeks, and on the willingness of Radcliffe officials to make the first gestures of mergerism. Even if mixed housing is not tried next term, though, the HPC report ought to alert administrators to the folly of planning the future of the Houses or mapping out schedules of Radcliffe dorm construction without intending to make either coeducational...
