Although recent events have brought the conflict into sharper focus, the problem is not new. Since its every beginnings, Radcliffe has struggled with its identity, constantly attracted and repelled by the larger University. In the autumn of 1876, a small group of Cambridge residents met to discuss the need for an institution for the higher education of women in the university. Proceeding cautiously, they gained President Eliot's qualified approval for their proposal, then contacted certain carefully selected members of the Harvard Faculty to request that they teach qualified females. In all their dealings, the founders made two points very...
...this announced change in board policy which brought Radcliffe's central problems into sharp focus. President Bunting announced to the RGA legislature one afternoon that the College had decided to do away with its previous policy of allowing off-campus residents to pay for only one college-provided meal a day. In the future, all students will pay full board and will be entitled to three college meals daily.

Students complained...

Subtle Injury. The U.C.L.A. team, with Dr. Charles H. Markham as neurologist and Dr. Paul H. Crandall doing most of the surgery, has now followed 19 patients for two years or more. In three cases, even the deeply implanted electrodes failed to show a decisive focus of abnormal activity on one side, so no surgery was attempted. Of 16 patients who had operations, ten are now free of seizures, and two have improved although they still have occasional seizures. Three got no benefit, and one died from a hemorrhage not connected with the operation...
...Southern racial system or napalm bombs falling on South Vietnamese villages invokes immediate indignation, while the many important questions of urban renewal, for instance, call for more cautious politics. The consensus theory thus imposes a limit on the number of concerns upon which a New Left group can focus. The young Democrats (YD's), by contrast, were able to discuss such issues as foreign aid and birth control as well as the standard SDS topics of Civil Rights and Vietnam during the current year...
