See the two letters RYBS wrote R' Leonard Rosenfeld of the Hebrew
Institute of Long Island (HILI). His defense of coed at HILI is pragmatic
despite ideology. His defense of gemara for women is more ideological,
but not for mixed classes.

Also, RYBS was vehemently against moving Stern (the women's college)
to Washington Heights (near RIETS and YC -- the men).
