Dogs and Dalton: Admission policies?

Our own NYC correspondant points up an interesting contrast in standards for admission and asks the alliterative question "How would David define Dog Diversity? 

Doggy Kindergarden seems to continue on the  schedule set by preschool nurseries as a necessary for eventually getting into Princeton. The parents interview, the observation in a social setting. If these dogs could march they would be in the Knickerbocker Greys!

On the other hand, Dalton has had rapid growth in admittance of pupils from beyond the Upper East Side!

Dalton will dramatically exceed the citywide average for kindergarten diversity at New York's private schools, which was 30% students of color last year, according to data from the National Association of Independent Schools.

It's a milestone in an aggressive campaign by the admissions director, Elisabeth "Babby" Krents, to broaden the school's reach since she assumed the position in 1996. The previous year, the kindergarten class was 6% diverse. This year, it will be 47% of the 97-member incoming class."Years ago, I think primarily kids [at Dalton] were from the Upper East Side and homogenous in lots of ways," said Ms. Krents, who graduated from Dalton in 1968. "We sat down to say, 'Let's see what we can do to widen that a bit".
