...Radcliffe of 1954 stayed much more aloof from its monolithic neighbor. In 1963 Harvard would begin to confer its degrees upon Radcliffe students, and in 1971 Harvard would assume management control of Hilles Library and the Radcliffe dormitories. The admissions offices were merged in the mid 1970s and an "equal access" admissions policy...
...meeting and marrying a Harvard man, although The Crimson reported, in September 1951, Radcliffe women faced stiff competition from their more "genteel counterparts" at Wellesley. Back in '51 The Radcliffe Quarterly could quote a professor's remark without much hesitation: "The Radcliffe girl carries feminism and femininity in almost equal balance.

...feel strongly that our support of the Biko Fund is in no way compromised by Harvard's equal access policy. Its many practical aspects remain and we continue to support its existence and viability. If next year's class matches our contribution of $2600, the Fund will have reached the needed $5000 to establish its legitimacy. We encourage the continued support of the Biko Fund. Aaron J.
