It iscrucial that women's contributions, past, present, andfuture, be considered by disciplines which have traditionally defined themselvesaccording to men's . accomplishments. It is also crucialthat women involve themselves in contemporary-societ- yso that the burden ofresponsible change not restonly with men.We believe (as you havestated) that both women andmen students and women andmen staff can only participatein a true liberal educationthrough a policy which excludes no individual becauseof sex from any intellectualendeavor. We believe that afeminist perspective will encourage all students to makechoices about their livesbased onrather than on stereotypes.self-knowled-Ingemovement and its ramifications for the College, we havebeen frustrated by a lack ofcoordination and by our ownlimited time and energy.
