A Man!

It was almost as unheard-of as if a woman had been admitted to Greece's Mount Athos, where all females (even ewes and mares) are taboo. In Northampton, Mass. last week Smith College got its first male undergrad in its 70 years. The unique fellow was Meredith Stiles, blond and 23, veteran of 2 1/2 years in the Army Air Forces. He was admitted to Smith because he wanted to study advanced Spanish, and the professor of advanced Spanish at his own school (nearby Amherst) was off on sabbatical leave.

Between classes Stiles lunches at a campus house where the girls, to keep in practice, speak nothing but Spanish. Said his classmates: ''Meredith simply does something for our campus." Said Meredith after his first class: "I felt like a guy who had showed up for a formal dance in pajamas."
