“Once the ‘coeds’ really arrived, the Alumnus magazine found them an inexhaustible source for covers, whether in shorts dribbling basketballs, in tulle evening gowns begin crowned as beauty queens, or in tight sweaters pursuing education degrees. There was even an article documenting the ‘feminine’ touch they had brought to the campus. President Harry Wright was quoted as saying, ‘We welcome the girls with open arms.’ Nameless instructors were reported to have changed their lecture vocabulary as their former ‘earthy’ approach was out of place in mixed groups.”
