...founding in 1701. Yale College in September of 1969 admitted female students. This being the fourth year that women have been accepted in increasing numbers. Yale is currently confronting the issue of sex-blind admissions (admissions without regard to an applicant's sex but keeping the male-female ratio between 60 and 40 per cent.) The Yale Corporation recently postponed a decision on the university's admissions policy until December 9 in order to give alumni representatives more time to poll their constituents.

...other hand, Harvard, which accepted Radcliffe women into its classrooms in the 1940s, is lagging behind Yale in even debating the, full recognition of female students on an equal basis with men.

A sex-blind admissions policy would undoubtedly raise not only the number of women who apply but also the number of men Both schools would many believe appear more attractive. They would capture the eye of many socially oriented intelligent students who shun the unnatural sex ratio offered by Harvard and Yale...
...counted, among certain circles anyway, as being one of the Beautiful People. Next to Brewster, Derek Bok pales in comparison. Brewster's eyebrows are more expansive, his sideburns are longer. At the moment, Brewster is facing yet another crisis. Yale students, angered by the 10:1 male female ratio, are demanding sex-blind or equal admissions...
