“400 Girls, 75 Books, Could Make March 4 a “Great Day””

Title
“400 Girls, 75 Books, Could Make March 4 a “Great Day””
Caption
One of the earliest acts by the students to push coeducation was The Great Day. The Great Day invited 400 women from other institutions, mostly the Seven Sisters (which included schools like Smith, Mount Holyoke, Vassar and Wellesley), to come to Dartmouth to participate in a day of coed book discussions. It was a kind of dry run for what it would be like to have women on campus and in the classroom. That same year the students established the Ad Hoc Committee on Coeducation a joint student/faculty committee to study coeducation at Dartmouth.
