Noted Girls' School Graduates Male Student for First Time
BRYN MAWR, PA.-A 23-year-old ex-GI created history at Bryn Mawr College when he became the first male graduate of the fashionable women's school.
"I couldn't have done it if I'd been alone," said grinning Richard Logan.
How was it to spend three years among so many women?
"Oh, it was all right," Logan replied. "Everybody treated me nicely."
"The thing I missed most," he admitted, "was getting into old-fashioned bull sessions."
Logan became a Bryn Mawr student by a freak occurrence that grew from World War II.
Before entering military service, Logan had attended the University of New Hampshire for one year.
When he returned, his family moved from Quincy, Mass., to Philadelphia and under the GI bill of rights, he applied for college education.
All available schools were filled up, so Bryn Mawr offered to allow him to enter. Five other men were given the same opportunity, but each of these men dropped out of school before graduation.
While at Bryn Mawr, Dick married a fellow student. She is the former May Warren, Shawnee, Okla.
Dick said he went it alone the last year-the only male undergraduate left at Bryn Mawr.
