Title
Trinity College-Vassar College Exchange Program, Spring 1969
Subject
Trinity College, Class of 1970
Description
Collection of three items related to the Vassar-Colgate-Williams-Trinity exchange program.
Prior to matriculating female students in fall 1969, Trinity participated in an exchange program with Vassar College, an all-women's school in Poughkeepsie, New York, which was also looking to become coeducational. Some 33 Trinity students (including 17 from the '70 Class -- John Anderson, Kevin Anderson, Steven Bauer, Grant Branstator, John Chapin, Randolph Friedman, Glenn Gamber, Haji Abdillahi, Ryan Kuhn, William C. Lawrence, Jeremiah Milbank, Eric Rathbun, Len Schneider, Andrew Shaw, Jack Tadsen, and Ryan Viscidi), spent one semester at Vassar in the spring of 1969, along with students from Colgate and Williams Colleges. Correspondingly, in exchange 17 Vassar women spent a semester at Trinity.
On its front cover, the 1968 Vassar College Bulletin depicts Warren Tanghe '70 (L) and Len Schneider '70 (R) touring the Vassar campus. Vassar's 'Main Building' is the building in the background of the photo. The photo was taken prior to the coeducational exchange program between Trinity College and Vassar College that took place in early 1969.
