Student influence on administration decisions and policy--a remarkable concept here at Harvard. Most of us, I think, are agreed on the general principle that people ought to have some say in the governance of the society in which they live; this is the democratic principle. We live at Harvard; we work at Harvard; we play at Harvard; we learn at Harvard; we spend our money to help support Harvard. It seems reasonable then, that we ought to have our opinions considered when it comes to making policy and decisions concerning the way things run at Harvard...
...first, the concept of a conference to bring students from 11 different schools together must seem like a quantum leap from the type of unity I'd been referring to before. However, in association with the lack of unity which I perceived, I noted that we also lack experience, ideas and inspiration. We must not forget that other schools face and have faced many similar problems. By bringing students from different schools together, the conference helps to alleviate the lack of experience and ideas which--separately--students at each of the schools seem to feel.

...concept of women's education has drastically changed in the last decade. Radcliffe's impressive list of prominent alumnae notwithstanding, the college has not been perceived, over most of its history, as a route to power in the same sense that Harvard has. This is not surprising. Neither have Smith or Wellesley. Although some maverick women graduating from these institutions have become leaders, they have been far outnumbered by their classmates who became educated homemakers. With the general trend in the '70s shifting to more equal access to power, money and prestige for women, their access to education has widened...
