Absolutely brilliant, thanks.
It was all downhill after 1971.
This is the best blog, I love the old school feel, bow ties et al!
No, OCBD-after 1969. The mutants were already there in '71.
Recognize Bozell and Wm. Buckley in the debate photo. So very young.
Gee, I never knew I was considered a mutant by virtue of being born female. One would almost think that males of our species could reproduce without the aid of females! Let me point out the obvious: before 1969, men only had to compete with other men for admission to Yale, with a class size of approximately 1300 students. After 1969, men had to compete with women for the same number of spots in each class. My class at Yale, the class of 1978, was approximately 40% female. The inference is obvious ... 40% of Yale men in the classes of 1969 and earlier would not have made the cut in my days at Yale. So, we females may be mutants but as Darwin could tell you, mutation = evolution! - Alexandra Fiona Dixon, SY 1978, proud to be a member of the only graduating class in Yale's 309 year history whose diplomas were signed by a female president!
