...SECOND argument in favor of the RUS coed plan is that the higher ratios of men to women necessary for complete coeducation inflict too great a hardship on the women involved. Surely no one would deny that a 1-1 or 2-1 ratio is preferable for all concerned-and especially the women-to higher ratios. But how much preferred is it?

The categories are confusing, results of men at Radcliffe were mixed with those of women, and only 55 per cent responded. Further, the results are meaningless: Of course women would prefer a 2-1 ratio in the current coed Houses. Not only would this leave unchanged their chances of moving to a Harvard House while achieving a preferable ratio wherever they ended up, but it would also vastly improve their chances of moving to the more desirable Houses such as Adams, Lowell and Dunster instead...

The overall Harvard-Radcliffe student ratio is four...
