Coeducation

The Voices of Coeducation

Should we not seek, here at Virginia, to maintain the College's predominately masculine character and its moderate size as essential to preserving our traditions and fulfilling our founder's intention towards us?

- Julian Bishko, U.Va. professor, 1968

 

It is quite certain that unless we have the female sex on our side, we cannot hope to accomplish any object we have in view.

- Seth Luther, student, 1971

 

No, I won't give a woman's opinion, but I'll give my opinion if you want it.

- female student, 1971
