THE 1938 DAYT GRESS

When in September, 1936, women actually invaded the sacred precincts of St. Mary and Chaminade halls, many pessimistic predictions were made. The schoo l was undoubtedly losing caste among the objectors to coeducation, and the reputation of the university as a "man's college" had definitely gone Cool reception in classes and numerous glares warned us that our future was in a precarious state-we must either break down this wall of opposition or give up the cause. Then came a gradual change; young men discovered that we were much the same as their own sisters and that we were earnestly bent upon securing an education; therefore, we could be tolerated. Perhaps it won't be assuming too much to say that we have passed the point of being tolerated and now actually receive a welcoming smile from the masculine student body.
