LIVE UPDATES: Pro-Palestine Protesters Begin Encampment in Harvard Yard

THE WOMAN PAYS

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

In its physical aspects Harvard has been undergoing a great change of late; houses are constantly going up, freshman dormitories clutter the Yard, and a Faculty Club is soon to be opened. Amidst all this masculine turmoil it is pleasant to note that Radcliffe is celebrating her fifty-second year by a new lecture hall.

For a long time there has been a crying need for new housing facilities at Radcliffe. Like all women's colleges her financial surplus is never large enough to warrant any great expenditure and this, in the past, has curtailed any plans of enlargement. The growth of the student body in late years has been rapid and Radcliffe has suffered accordingly from inadequate buildings. The recent addition, the gift of friends, is the first unit in a projected expansion which, when realized, will give the institution a modern and handsome surrounding. Vassar, Bryn Mawr, and other women's colleges have beautiful camp to their credit; it is fitting that Radcliffe with her high scholastic reputation should at last be situated in an environment worthy of that reputation.
