Current Radcliffe President Linda S. Wilson said that Bunting-Smith was a formidable educator.
Bunting-Smith worked closely with top administrators in the '60s and '70s for the introduction of coeducational housing, according to former Harvard President Derek C. Bok.
When she arrived as president, one of Bunting-Smith's first proposals was to create an institute where woman could overcome a climate of low expectations for women, said Rita N. Brock, the director of the Bunting Institute. The institute was renamed in Bunting-Smith's honor in 1978.
At the time, the institute was such a revolutionary idea that Bunting-Smith was featured on the cover of Time Magazine, Brock said.
Since Bunting-Smith founded the institute in 1960, more than 1,300 women have held the one-year fellowships, Brock said.
