Additional comments I think experiences 50 yrs. removed from the present are not likely to be helpful. Most rules and/or guidelines have already changed a good bit -several times The very fact that women are admitted to the general undergraduate program, thereby increasing substantially the number of women in the school, is itself the biggest change, and triggers many of the others. As in many areas it is no longer "my world."
