...Radcliffe's president is the first to admit that his growing college is still far from ideal. The most critical problems are of course financial. During the war and the years afterward, spiraling costs took a severe toll on the school's resources.

Harbison also emphasized the value of the intimate association of professor and pupil on the basis of fellow-students rather through the artificial system of lectures and recitations.
