explaining the findings of a study conducted by princeton university the education of women at princeton the study was published in the princeton alumni weekly oil september 4 1968 if an all-male university becomes coeducational the coeds must have a place to live the princeton study of coeducation found that residences for women would represent the bulk of the capital expenditures incurred in going coeducational but that much imagination can be applied to the design and purpose of the residences the study determined three requisites for new dor mitories the space psr student within the female sleeping several systems possible quarters should equal the space ln the male quarters the architectural and structural qualities should be comparable to existing buildings any new facilities should be within walking dixt ance trftha e_ssp_s other considerations concerning additional residence halls are their future purpose whether or not they should include social facilities and whether they should be dormitories or apartment complexes one proposal is the construction of quad houses each house would contain its own eating and social facilities housing of this type would offer an alter native to a social life dominated by the eating-clubs where the students associate with a very limited mem bership according to the report a distinctive architectural design would help create form and content for a dis tinctive x college of woman within the university the report peculated that such distinction might help ic attract rutur k u-tiuiis one otter proposal was the construction of an apart ment complex each apartment would have cooking facilities there would.be little common space for social activities the reasoning behind the apartment proposal is that it would answer the trend among upper-classmen toward living ln off-campus apartments apart from the university such a system la already successfully ln operation at the university of miami coral gables florida the
