Yale has already stopped into the twentieth century and acknowledged the existence of sex. If Radcliffe makes the same move unilaterally, Harvard will become something of a lone puritanical ostrich, with its head buried in the past.

...takes so little to be happy. . . . Now all I would wish, in this winter of the spirit, is to fall asleep and wake up in a luxury of light and warmth; not to have every morsel of coal dragged unwillingly from the bowels of the coal mine; not to have all food weighed and balanced up in calories, with so many million deaths anticipated, calmly, from cold and starvation; but to pass on to the light and warmth of life...
