I have never set foot on the Deep Springs College campus, but I was a little saddened to read that its board just decided to admit women to the all-male school. The two-year college, which allows students to learn intensively while taking care of the school’s farm, always struck me as a good example of the eccentricities that can thrive in American higher education. We can have large state universities, small private liberal-arts schools, Buddhist colleges, evangelical schools for home-schooled kids, schools for training political activists, and schools that ignore politics altogether.
