Coeducation

This Red and White editorial celebrates the 20th anniversary of lay womens’ arrival at SDU, noting the growing numbers of female students at the University, and their contributions to campus life. Laudatory as the article is, it still provides jarring reminders of lingering vestiges of sexism, with its observations on the lack of female lay faculty and the fact that female students were still barred from some positions in campus organizations, most notably the Student Union presidency. Red and White [newspaper]. vol. 3, no. 3 (December 15, 1962). p. 7.
