...defining the focus of the Library, King does not mention women's history, as one might expect, but instead social history with an emphasis on women. With that broad a focus, and with the already-proven adaptability of the Library, King seems justified in not worrying about the future role of the Library within the community.

But a draft report of the dean's Task Force on Undergraduate Life suggested a more identifiable place for masters to go to for information and aid, as a way to more efficiently utilize House resources and to erase inequities between House facilities...
