...first Radcliffe undergraduates to receive the Harvard degree are: Mrs. Karen C. Cohen, of Worcester and Baltimore, in social relations; Gail M. Heikkinen, of Hopkins, Minn., in anthropology; and Martha B. Rochlin, of Cambridge, in classics...

With my apologies to the judges, I must say that I preferred Miss Rochlin's blue-toned nude (in Briggs) to the winning canvas. It is here that she achieves her greatest compositional balance and subtlety of color.
