...least as seen in stereotype. They are not given to the long hair, bulging book bags and breathless brilliance found at Radcliffe. They lack the Junior-League-socialite attitude of Smith. Vassar's ear nest, do-gooder zeal eludes them; nor do they share the compulsive egalitarianism of Barnard students. They are neither so muscularly athletic as the Bryn Mawr girls nor quite so country-sweet as the Mount Holyoke lasses. Their distinguishing characteristic, in short, is that they don't stand out. They tend simply to be wholesome girls who make normal, well-adjusted housewives and civic...

Among "the greatest hazards" for female college graduates, she added, is the fact that they tend to abandon their intellectual...
...everyone accepts Keynes as gospel. Treasury Secretary Henry Fowler refuses to be classified as Keynesian; he does not believe that debt necessarily leads to development, or that surplus necessarily leads to deflation. Economist Raymond Saulnier of Barnard contends that the economy has been expanding not because of Keynesian policies but largely because U.S. business has increased productivity faster than U.S. labor has pushed up wage costs-with the result that prices have held relatively stable. But even economic conservatives have lately accepted the idea of using deficits to stimulate the economy in slack years. Sighs Virginia Senator Harry Byrd: "Franklin...
