LAST YEAR in his small corner of Massachusetts Hall, the University's lawyer decided that students who were admitted to Radcliffe College were deemed to be enrolled in Harvard College. The redefinition, Daniel Steiner '54 says now, reflected in part the provisions of the Strauch report and also what he viewed to be the "realities" of the similar college lives that men and women here lead. These are arguments, Steiner says, that he might make in court to show that the change was a legal...
Nonetheless, 12 Radcliffe prizes and 10 Harvard prizes remain limited to women and men respectively. The Harvard awards are worth about $22,000 annually, the Radcliffe ones $15,000. Steiner says that it would be illegal to open these prizes to both sexes because the terms of the bequests specify the sex of the recipient.

The apparent inequality is offset by the fact that there are fewer...

As workmen paste up a billboard near the Medical Area calling on President Bok to relent, Thomas L.P. O'Donnell, a Ropes and Gray labor lawyer whom Ed Powers, director of employee relations, calls "one of the best in the business" is drafting briefs that will certainly give District...
