For years the theory of higher education in the United States operated something like this: men went to university to get rich, and women went to university to marry rich men. It was a wonderful little set up, nearly mathematical in its precision. To disturb it would have been to rock an American institution. During the 60s though, this theory lost much of its popularity. As the nation began to recognize the folly of relegating women to a secondary role, women soon joined men in what once were male-only pursuits.

Since then feminine autonomy has been the rule, not exception, at least among university women.
