The comprehensiveness of the new name would allow the committee to develop a “more integrated and broader” curriculum that could better accommodate students’ intellectual needs under a larger umbrella, Lamont said.

By 1977, the feminist movement was in full swing nationally, but it was still a fight for a woman to be taken seriously as a student here.
