According to Wikipedia Dartmouth College was a male only college until 1972.

Woman did work as employees at the computer center, and bringing dates from nearby schools and colleges to the computing center was apparently a thing as students liked to show off their computer skills.

Also of note: unlike other colleges, students at Dartmouth didn't need to pay for computer time, creating both opportunity but potentially also the need to 'guard' against outsiders.

Haha, I love the idea of impressing women by showing them your computer skills.

Dunno what to say, green-on-black terminals, clean code and fast typing do always manage to turn me on ;)

Given the era I think we are talking key punches, card readers and line printers here.
