Biographical / Historical

The Commission on Social Patterns was established in 1969 to examine the social patterns of the college in order to ascertain the degree to which they contribute to the full development of the students with respect to the goals of the college and to discover which aspects of the social patterns presently operative should be maintained and which should be altered by strengthening or by other modification, including replacement. Living arrangements, small groups and campus wide activities were analyzed. The Commission recommended that Davidson remain a residential college, have coeducational housing if women are admitted, expand the services in the college union and limit the role of fraternities on campus.
