...town when it became known that I was going seminary, and many prayers of thanks," he recalls. "But when they found out that I was going to Harvard Divinity School, there were even more prayers. Because that was Godless Harvard, and no Christian who ever went in ever emerged intact. It was a place where raving atheists, secularists and agnostics ran rampant.

Each of us at Radcliffe, for whatever personal reasons, values the Radcliffe-Harvard education or we wouldn't be here. For my part, Harvard has managed, at least to keep its intellectual integrity intact and the university offers resources such as the Carpenter Center and the Science Center, that should be made available to anyone who can use them well. The so-called exclusiveness of Radcliffe will be nurtured and not diminished if it cannot attract students diverse in interests and backgrounds...
