...with unmitigated horror that I read the article on Wellesley in December 16's CRIMSON: It is compelling evidence, not that Wellesley has a place in education today, as the article purported to prove, but rather that Wellesley and schools like it are a major part of the female problem. In particular I was bothered by the justification that at Wellesley...
...that, in a word, has been Harvard's problem this winter. Defensive mistakes gave New Hampshire all three of its goals two weeks ago. two of them on sloppy clearing passes. In the Brown loss. the defense was caught up-ice much too often, and a Bruin team that never should have beaten Harvard did so. 4-3.

Articles like "The Oppression of the Male Today" and "Contemporary Capitalism; Drag Queen Intellect" are bitter, weary laments against the system. Only later does one see that the problem is not the system so much as the absence of the female principle. There is the usual set of articles, too, that talk about how degrading the female role is, or about how women are not intellectually inferior ("The Slave's Stake in the Home." "On the Temptation...
