Harvard Says No to Co-eds

Categorically denying the statement in Tuesday evening's Globe that Harvard is "going co-educational," Jerome D. Greene, secretary to the Corporation, has stated that the only revisions in Harvard-Radcliffe relations under consideration are "purely administrative."

Far from bringing the two student bodies together, in all but introductory courses, the new curricular policy, as far as is now known, will affect only the method of selecting subjects and teachers for Radcliffe classes.

Faculty Body Takes Over

Harvard's Faculty of Arts and Sciences is taking over the task of deciding what courses shall be given at Radcliffe and who shall teach them, as well as paying these men from funds provided by Radcliffe tuition fees.

Under the system now in force, Radcliffe would dicker with members of the Harvard Faculty individually, and the results of these negotiations would determine who was teaching what for how much.

As in the past, advanced courses on this side of the Common are open to graduate students or specially qualified undergraduates from both colleges, but this system is not being extended to "middle-group" classes and does not make all non-elementary courses automatically open to any Radcliffe girl.

Error Publicized

Although Greene's statement refuting the Globe story was issued almost immediately after the edition hit the streets, the United Press in this time sent the canard on its nation-wide wires, only to be forced to issue "kill" instructions a short while later. Radio commentators all night were telling the whole story, complete with the denial.

As far as the Medical School's policy goes, it is true that admitting women is under discussion, but no final action has been taken, Greene said.
