REVIEWS

Yesterday afternoon I received an email from David Clark ‘73, one of the 28 men in Connecticut College’s first coed class. He was responding most specifically to my thesis’ chapter on coeducation. In it, he confirms that the Camel mascot was chosen because it had humps, and men at Conn hump. He remembers seeing half the campus leave on weekend nights to visit their boyfriends at other schools, and tells me that among the first men, “There’s an astro-physicist, a Broadway mogul, an ornithologist, a jewelry handcrafter, a musician, a preacher, and at least two have been mayors.”

Please read for yourself below…

Worth reading for all two of my camel followers.

It’s important that we exercise the ‘thinking critically’ muscles that we’ve developed at Conn, and Voice articles should push all of us to think deeper and consider the alternative, and if the paper isn’t doing that for you, let us know. We, as students, cannot let our education, informal or otherwise, be guided solely by hearsay and venues like ConnCollConfessional. We, as the staff of the College Voice, have a responsibility to uphold the newspaper as a forum in which students are not only informed, but also educated.

Jazmine has a pretty important post here about journalistic integrity and perseverance here at Conn. Applies to SGA, as well, in different ways but with the same spirit.
