...part of the construction of most women's colleges ever since their founding. Here at Radcliffe, the class has never been the unit, except for certain extracurricular activities.

Many acres of land have been reclaimed on Soldiers Field and behind the Business School, and converted into playing fields for various intra-mural and minor sports.
