Some teachers, like Samuel E. Morison, Jonathan Trumbull Professor of American History, never care particularly for cross-town work. His courses in Colonial and Naval History, among the top offerings in the Department, were denied to 'Cliffedwellers except during the period when Morison's daughter was an undergraduate there. Many courses, although offered to girls, were taught by substitutes or younger teachers...
