Harvard College and Radcliffe college essentially merged.
At Columbia, the approach was different. Barnard College remained all female, while Columbia college became co-ed.
In general, a university could offer 4 models:
1. All male
2. Co-ed, run with a male mode of learning
3. Co-ed, run with a female male mode of learning
4. All female
Harvard is claimed here to be #3.
Columbia is #4 plus somewhere between #2 and #3.
One could offer all 4 models in the same university. I'd choose #2. I am blessed to have a wife who graduated from Harvard Business School (#2) and a daughter who is a US Army officer who is in a #2 environment.
It is too bad this article only arrived by email this afternoon. I was talking this morning with Dean Deming and it would have been interesting to get Deming's observations on where Harvard could fit in all of this.
"The Virgin Mary, the model of womanhood, is no pale echo of man but a wholly other glory, illuminated by Grace."
What an incredibly beautiful sentence.

Love that you are playing offense here. This restorationist mindset is essential to reclaim our heritage and greatness as a nation.
