...audience at the dedication, seated and standing on the lawn between the Science Center and the gate, coped good-naturedly with the rain which fell briefly during the ceremony and joined in a fairly tuneless but certainly enthusiastic rendition of the revised "Fair Harvard." The panels which followed (if all were as enlightening as the Journalism and Media panel moderated by Jill Abramson '76) accomplished in small what Harvard needs more of in large: female role models sharing their career and life experiences with undergraduates, providing resources, reassurance and inspiration.
