On the wrong side of history for women
W hat do the admission of women to Princeton, my wife and President Bush's nomination of Judge Samuel Alito to the U.S. Supreme Court have in common? In my family, everything.
In 1969, the board of trustees of Princeton voted to admit women, ending two centuries of exclusion. As former Princeton President Robert Goheen recalled, 'The claims of American women to equal treatment and the ability of many of them to play active, shaping roles in education, business, the professions and public affairs were at last gaining wide recognition and acceptance.'
Not everyone agreed.
Sam Alito, class of 1972, was one of the first Princeton men to share his college experience with women. How did this experience affect him? Upon graduation, he joined Concerned Alumni of Princeton, a conservative organization formed to oppose Princeton's decision to admit women."
