...these newer attempts is the Radcliffe Seminars Program, a collection of courses designed to provide a "second chance," Nancy Downey, administrative director of the program, says. Created for students who have never completed their undergraduate education, have received their bachelor's degree but have found a new direction they want to pursue, or have married but are seeking a career, the program was established in 1950 after the privileges of older women in the Radcliffe community were curtailed by the merger of the Harvard and Radcliffe classes after World...
...they've ever taught," Downey said, and a brief glance at the catalogue of courses indicates that the program has somehow avoided selling out innovation to trendiness.

An important source was Hisham Shaar, chief of Lebanon's national police, whose network relayed not only the locations of new battles but also their ferocity...
...important character in the play who did graduate from Harvard is the Rev. John Hale, who in fact received both a bachelor's and master's degree. An expert on demonology, Hale starts off siding with Danforth, but in the course of the play undergoes moral growth. He comes to harbor doubts about the trials, and winds up denouncing them. George Hearn handles this vital role commendably. But Wyman Pendleton turns Judge John Hathorne into too much of a caricature of Hercule Poirot...
