In your October 2005 issue you listed three all-male colleges which you claimed to be the only ones in the US, but there’s at least one more: Deep Springs College in California.
According to their site, “In accordance with the Deed of Trust, Deep Springs is an all-male college.”

Alex is right. There are a whopping four all-men’s colleges in the country. Plus, Deep Springs school admits 10 - 15 students, hardly comparable to the tens of thousands of women enrolled in all women’s colleges.
There is a serious advantage to a single sex education for men, especially since much "classical" literature has been de-emphasized by feminist influence due to the postmodern notion that a narrative
sexual identity is relevant and/or necessary in answering life's great questions. Sure, social injustice was committed against women in the time of Socrates, Aristotle, Cicero, Locke, and Hamilton, but the principles which brought women's suffrage came about because of a better understanding of these great Western philosophers, not in spite of them.
To this day, there is value and understanding in these works that is lacking in contemporary authors. The links between the United States Constitution and Plato's De Enima as just as significant as the links between John Locke and the Declaration of Independence. Intelligent interpretation of classical thinkers has established the freest, most prosperous modern society in the world.
The abandonment of the core curriculum in higher education has been a surreptitious, radical demand stemming from the 1960s to censor superior insight because the authors of such wisdom weren't underdogs. Such ignorance will only lead to tyranny by denying how we attained our freedoms; no matter what the feminist majority says.
As Pope Benedict XVI said, "Truth cannot be decided by a majority vote."
