...Radcliffe Student Government and the Administration produced possibly the most ridiculous set of rules ever issued at the Annex, with a list of 13 designations of activity, each requiring a specific sign-in time. Certainly "winter automobiling" from which a girl had to return by 7:30 p.m., was not overly popular, but sleigh-riders could stay out until 12:30.

Its major appeal did not rest on sex, money or gore; it came from the encounter between law and medicine, two intricate, big, imprecise and sometimes deadly disciplines. British Author Sybille Bedford, noted for her brilliant novel The Legacy (TIME...
