This, at a time when a growing number of undergraduate women fail to see either what would have to be created in Radcliffe's absence, or what "unfinished business" Radcliffe could possibly have short of complete merger...
Horner maintains that this office is intrinsically important, no matter what the future holds for Radcliffe. But in fact, Alberta B. Arthurs, the office's dean, will assume a post next Fall which may well be critical in deciding the question of merger: whether it is "Radcliffe" or some other body, there is a strong feeling that an advocate group for women at Harvard must exist. If this new office proves effective, it will probably be the only Radcliffe administrative structure to survive total merger.

And it remains to be seen whether the momentum leading toward merger has really been halted or whether it has merely been channeled into areas which are preconditions for merger. How the theory translates into practice is the biggest question now facing Radcliffe...
Pointing a finger at the culprit is virtually impossible. Many different ingredients constitute the mess: the 2.5 to 1 sex ratio arising out of Harvard's non-merger merger, the housing shake-up performed in March by the Committee on Houses and Undergraduate Life (CHUL), a possible reversal of the recent trend toward leave taking, a small senior class and the inadequacy of the present plan for assigning freshmen to Houses.

When the College evaluates the Yale system it would have to consider whether counseling duties should be shifted from the freshman dean's office to the Houses. Yale's integration of freshmen into colleges has overloaded the college staffs and at Harvard, where there is only one more House...
