Moreover, because of the high caliber of Harvard's applicant pool, setting a male-female quota in admissions would be no more arbitrary than the University's present admissions policy. Harvard doesn't take the "most qualified" applicants it gets--there's no way it could even try. Rather, Harvard picks from a pool of more or less equally qualified applicants a class it expects to be interesting and diverse.

Finally, to allay fear and diffuse emotion regarding Athletics, I propose a predictable and comfortable yardstick in fiscal policy. Participation in and quality of women's athletics is growing throughout the society and the number of undergraduate women is reaching toward a 2.5 to 1 quota under present policy. $120 per capita (for operational and B&G costs) out of each undergraduate women's tuition will not destroy men's programs nor should this prospect panic anyone. The $120 is top dollar for some years to come. Mary G. Paget Assistant for Radcliffe to the Director of Athletics
