Radcliffe offers extracurricular activities and organizations for women, not academic opportunities. Radcliffe is in no way a part of my or any Harvard woman's journey toward receiving a degree here.

Looking at the social upheavals of this century, one would conclude that we have not in any way completed this journey. TIME's leader of the next century will be the person who can envision and provide a society that ensures individual freedom and a better quality of life without relying on economic growth. Technology will improve our lives, but the true leaders will be those who are not afraid to deal...
