...embrace from her alma mater, Rich reiterated that Radcliffe has not, in fact, melted into Harvard, but stands as its own "mysterious" structure. In the poet's eyes, the Radcliffe Institute occupies a critical stance towards Harvard, serving as critique of modern elite universities and a "thorn in the flesh of institutional self-congratulation."
