So four Radcliffe seniors decided to take matters into their own hands. They organized a petition to open Lamont Library, which gained the unanimous approval of the Radcliffe Government Association.
Radcliffe President Mary I. Bunting publicly endorsed the proposal, saying, "It makes sense to me, and it has all along." The Library Committee capitulated and agreed to study whether Lamont could support the additional 1200 Radcliffe students.
The victory was complete at 9:20 a.m. on February 6, 1967, when an unidentified Radcliffe student in a pink sweater stepped across the threshhold, and reference librarians presented her with a xeroxed copy of the Emancipation Proclamation.
