MacCaffrey, professor of History and the CUE member who presented the study abroad proposal to the Council, points to Smith College's experience last year, "where 30 per cent of the student body went abroad." But Smith's registrar's office reports that 19 per cent of its students left. Of that percentage only 8 per cent left Smith on the Junior Year Abroad program.

The 19th century structure, designated a historical landmark because it has one of the oldest cast-iron facades in the Northeast, commands spectacular views of Boston. Every unit in the planned conversion was sold before Deane went to the bank for his building loan.
