...utterly deplorable that a good school like GSD can still do this today and that Harvard University permits this to happen. This is a very sad and negative attitude in such an esteemed University. I hate to admit it, but this is my Alma Mater. Maria Funyo McVitty M. Arch, Graduate School of Design...
...Harvard at a disadvantage. Two years ago, a tenth generation Harvard son who was a good athlete but an academic disaster received a rejection letter from the College.

Schlesinger, whose New Viewpoints in American History (1928) had mapped out the new area of social history, and whose interest in women's history had helped establish the Radcliffe Women's Archives, now the Schlesinger Library. It was Alma Lutz, along with another woman historian, who spent a winter during the mid-'50 s trying to determine whether there were enough women in American history to justify the undertaking. On the basis of their recommendations, the Radcliffe College Council voted in 1957 to sponsor the dictionary...
