The following recommendation was made by the president and administrative staff of Grove College， a private institution， to the college’s governing committee.
　　"We recommend that Grove College preserve its century－old tradition of all－female education rather than admit men into its programs. It is true that a majority of faculty members voted in favor of coeducation， arguing that it would encourage more students to apply to Grove. But eighty percent of the students responding to a survey conducted by the student government wanted the school to remain all female， and over half of the alumni who answered a separate survey also opposed coeducation. Keeping the college all－female， therefore， will improve morale among students and convince alumni to keep supporting the college financially."
