Associate Dean of Student Life and Activities Judith H. Kidd will accept the administration’s retirement incentive package and retire from her post this summer, Kidd confirmed to The Crimson yesterday. “It was a very difficult choice to make, and I suspect it would always be difficult to leave,” Kidd said.

In future years, when financial constraints are no longer so prohibitive, the administration should fulfill its original goal—of providing a period of structured programming in which students have the option and opportunity to pursue interesting and unconventional interests on campus...
