Horner's "troika", as the three programs are referred to at Radcliffe, has emerged as the most visible component of the women's college since it ceded control of undergraduate life to Harvard in 1977.
Because Radcliffe does not have its own faculty or students, the scholarly programs provide the influx of new people and fresh scholarship necessary to sustain the school's independent identity, according to many associated with the programs.
But the issue of Radcliffe's relationship to the high-powered, high-profile scholars down Garden St. is never far from the surface in any discussion of women's scholarship at the University.
Unlike the predominantly male faculty at Harvard, the academics at Radcliffe are mostly women--and they tend to focus on issues associated with gender.
But many Radcliffe affiliates say that the role of the institution is to advocate for women at Harvard--in addition to providing an escape from the traditionally male confines of the Faculty of Arts and Sciences.
