In The Dartmouth, Sept. 1867, on coeducation: "We anticipate a millennium which will please the most fastidious when ladies are admitted to a membership in American colleges. Men of penetration tell us that the time will come. We saw only this afternoon some ladies enter the library during its hours of business. Then we imagined when it should be an everyday matter and we should call her 'frater' and 'social.' But alas! these are but husks; the time is too far distant to congratulate ourselves with much assurance. It may happen to our successors. The days of chivalry will then revive 'former things that have passed away.' In such an age of progress it is impossible to forecast events. Be not surprised, ye gallants, if you are taken by storm before you expect; and sons of Dartmouth prepare to welcome her daughters."
