What has happened to A.M.C. so far is that in all the 23 years since it was created by the merger of Nash-Kelvinator* and Hudson Motor Car Co., the company has never been able to find a secure niche in the auto market. It prospered in the late 1950s by bringing out the first U.S. compact, the Rambler, but then lost much of its market share when General Motors, Ford and Chrysler started making compacts too.

And she said the great majority of Radcliffe's trustees would support such a move...
...trustees have since developed some reservations. There is no more talk of combining the two schools beyond the present "non-merger merger" agreement. Lyman said she hopes a successful fund drive will make Radcliffe's position stronger and help expand its present programs...
