Washington and Lee University
The magazine ("Alumni President's Message," p. 28 of the Spring/Summer issue) owes an apology to the women who integrated Washington and Lee's School of Law in 1972. The column erroneously declares that W&L welcomed its first coeducational class in 1985-13 years too inaccurate!
Shame on W&L for ignoring its own history and the efforts of so many hardworking women law students.

Editor's Note: While we didn't make it clear that the column in question referred to undergraduates, we did run an article about the first women to attend the W&L School of Law. See pp. 17-19 of the Fall 2005 issue for "The Magnificent Seven."
