College celebrates coeducation

Jin Lee / The Dartmouth Staff Dartmouth welcomed over 600 alumni this weekend, including comedian Rachel Dratch '88 and Women's National Basketball Association president and College trustee Laurel Richie '81, to celebrate the 40th anniversary of coeducation at Dartmouth. Greenways featured 17 panel discussions, keynote speeches and a screening of "Makers," a documentary film about American female leaders produced by Pamela Wagner '81. The event was largely successful at demonstrating the College's growth and progress since it began admitting women in 1972, said Martha Beattie '76, vice president for alumni relations. "Kemeny would be very, very proud of what his historic words did and what kind of accomplishments have been achieved at this college," Beattie said.
