What is Radcliffe College? Radcliffe is a center for the study and advocacy of women, a resource for undergraduates and a school for post baccalaureate students. Founded in 1879 as the Harvard Annex to give women access to the Harvard faculty, Radcliffe spent the next century working toward the goal reached in 1977: achieving a woman's equal place at Harvard College. Radcliffe retained its ties to undergraduate women in a 1977 agreement with Harvard University...
...start of the successful War of Independence is warmly cheered in Massachusetts and Maine, its former annex, on the third Monday in April, with re-enactments, fairs and a marathon to mark the event. The towns of Lexington and Concord plan their year around Patriot's Day. Even people beyond New England sometimes join in the fun: when Patriot's Day falls on April 15, accountants in New York also cheer, because the federal government allows the taxes of New Yorkers as well as Bay State residents to be filed a day later...

Radcliffe began to make a place for women within Harvard University long before the 1977 agreement created an official legal partnership between Harvard and Radcliffe...
Hultin expected to wait months to hear of any results, but Taubenberger called within a few weeks. He had found fragments of the 1918 virus in Hultin's Lucy. Taubenberger and Reid had meanwhile recovered yet another sample of 1918 virus from tissues in the Armed Forces annex. Taken together, the three samples put to rest any doubt that Taubenberger's lab had indeed found and sequenced key portions of the original Spanish-flu virus...
