Mousy Look or Mini Skirt?


Three Mount Holyoke students held a list of 1200 fellow students' signatures, who petitioned against the latest edition of the "Comparative Guide to American Colleges" in 1968. They believed that the publication misrepresented Mount Holyoke's campus life. Especially disturbing to students was the statement that short skirts were prohibited at Mount Holyoke.
