...years to enter Widener's halls. But when she rented a stall last year to write her dissertation for Boston University on sex differences and the need for intimacy, she found the library somewhat disappointing. "Working in Widener is a very lonely endeavor," Mark said last week. "And eating in the Faculty Club, which was convenient, was even worse since I often had to eat by myself." Although she was strongly motivated to do a doctorate both to extend "the depths" of her knowledge and for her resume, Mark found it difficult to shut out life inside the library...
