...Radcliffe teams, however, found the merger a financial windfall. Compared to a 1972-73 budget of about $75,000, women's athletics had $144,350 at its disposal for the 1973-74 year. This year's budget will climb to about $170,000. Given the no-growth Harvard budget, an increase for women necessarily meant a cutback in funds that used to go to men's programs, irking some of the male athletes...
...scenario for the athletics merger began to take shape with the Harvard-Radcliffe non-merger merger in 1971, when women's athletics moved into the vague realm of "non-retained" Radcliffe functions. All Radcliffe tuition became part of Harvard's unrestricted funds and Harvard took over the financing of Radcliffe sports...
Until the fall of 1973, however, Harvard did little toward merger except to take over Radcliffe's $75,000 annual budget. The Radcliffe Crew set up shop in Harvard's Weld Boat House in 1971, but had to raise its own money in 1972 when it needed a new boat.

Muhlbach wonders incongruously. No matter. He pays $30 for it and takes the piece to an expert in Albuquerque. The verdict is quick: authentic Mayan, a dark survivor from pre-Columbian burial rites. By the time his plane touches down...
...year, I resented the fact that my sex was inescapably an issue, resented the constant necessity of defending myself and all of womanhood against chauvinist attacks. I resented the strain the unbalanced sex ratio placed upon my social relations, my academics and my general psyche. I resented the awkward merger-non-merger of Harvard and Radcliffe which left all of us hanging, unsure of where we went to school. Radcliffe seemed to be a convenient fiction, designed by Harvard to protect the university from feminine pollution. All Harvard University-- the administration, faculty, alumni and many students--seemed to prefer...
