...presumed fait accompli came under attack from Radcliffe alumnae who opposed their alma mater's dissolution. And Harvard stalwarts came forward to reiterate the long-standing reasons for their skepticism. Franklin L. Ford, then dean of the Faculty, subtly summed it all up: "The most brutal formulation of the problem is that merger might mean achieving sexual diversity at the expense of other kinds of diversity...
...inaugural of Nostalgia '73 began in April. Alumni of Radcliffe, Harvard College and University, as well as parents of undergraduates, were invited to return to their (or their children's) alma mater for ten or five days of lectures and discussions. There were two sessions offered: China (its history and culture) and/or black fiction and cinema.

Dixon (Antioch, '39; Harvard Medical School, '43), who was serving as Philadelphia's commissioner of health when named to head his alma mater in 1959. Usually chomping on a half-smoked cigar that sprinkles ashes down his rumpled blue polo shirt, Dixon talks in convoluted jargon that has earned him the nickname "Dim Jixon." Students still talk about his speech in 1969 comparing the campus to a well-balanced fishbowl populated with guppies, goldfish and piranhas. "For days," says...
