'bien language, math, and English re- quirements, academic standards for athletes are being tightened, students are hearing from their older brothers that the easy route may not be the best route. In this context, in higher as well as second- ary education, we can begin to take heart, we can, albeit cautiously, be fwith lwing Kristoll confident that reality will, in the end, prevail over even the most sophisticated of sophistical theories. Maybe - just maybe - we can remind our country-men, as part of their great awakening, of a reality: men are different from women. There are things they do in the company of other men that women do not enjoy, find necessary, or even comprehend - if indeed they don't find them boring or ridiculous. There are things men do better when by themselves. One of these just may be pursuing a liberal education. After all, women's notion of liberal education is dif- ferentg in a way it is, in the long reach of Western education, more inclusive of the aesthetic components of intellectual development, but that need not detain us here. As liberal education has been defin- and established in America, that for ' Q17 .5 'V R QHQ j iw . fs'-f 'L ve lj 7, . pr, 1' -:fn women is just different. Such a difference alone justifies different settings, different institutions, for men and women to pur sue their educations, both called liberaI,',' but demonstrably different. Historically, coeducation is a new, a very new thing. Even in the public secondary schools it was not widely prac- ticed, except in rural areas, until well into this century - and in those rural areas the chief reason for it was economic. The last public high schools to be all-male, Central in Philadelphia and Erasmus Hall and Bronx High School of Science in New York, did not become coeducational until within the last fifteen years. The first col- lege to be founded as a coeducational place was the tiresomely eccentric Oberlin in 1833, the current hysterical push to co-education did not widely af- fect private colleges until the past twenty years, when it did so fas has been the case with most social changes in the same periodi with puerile frenzy. Not all affected have been happy. Many alumni and alumnae of formerly single-sex col- leges have signaled their displeasure in obvious ways. Some formerly all-female schools fnotably Vassarj have, after a ll Jana
