VOX CLAMANTIS: The Tenth Pioneer

By Dona L. Heller | April 10, 2009

To the Editor: I am writing about the article about the "Pioneering Nine" -- Dartmouth's first coeds ("College welcomes back the 'Pioneering Nine,'" April 2). The nine women were drama students who enrolled for the 1968-1969 year to act in theater productions. Without any intent to self-call, and in the interest of accuracy, I would point out that the '68-'69 Dartmouth women pioneers actually numbered 10, and that I am, indeed, the 10th. On leave from Bryn Mawr College, I spent the 1968-1969 academic year enrolled in Dartmouth as a special student, taking a full academic load.
