...scholarships to students whose families can afford to pay nothing at all. The college, unlike Harvard, will continue to have almost no representation from the lower half of America's economy. President Bunting has acknowledged the college's inability to offer admission to these students but claims Radcliffe will seek them out more frequently once it obtains funds for the purpose...
