Puerto Rico had been granted commonwealth status. As Tugwell later explained it, "What Commonwealth meant was that there were arrangements between two equals, mutually satisfactory, which both desired to maintain. Munoz explains it in more concrete terms, "We have in common: citizenship, defense, market, international relations and currency...
Riesman declared that further integration would enable Radcliffe to help Harvard by developing a more liberal, less career-oriented, attitude toward education. On the other hand, he said that further integration would "hopefully" make girls less "anti-career...
