During the dedication of the Charles Nisbet Campus on September 15th, 1972, Dr. Martin Meyerson was one of the speakers invited. Dr. Meyerson who was a renowned educator,an authority on urban affairs and president of the University of Pennsylvania led a lecture on a topic of "The Proper Study of Womankind." He offered a brief history of the female in society from Eve's time through the 1970's, emphasizing the often passive role of a woman. Dr. Meyerson emphasized the question of whether or not colleges and universities have had a special responsibility to their female students. After asking questions such as, "Should a college hire a female to act as a role model even if she might not be as competent as a potential male condidate?" Dr.Meyerson's conclusion was that "the time was long overdue for women to be included in Alexander Pope's famous phrase, "The proper study of mankind is man.""
