Millenium Is Here: Widener Is Opened to 'Cliffedwellers

Women are shattering another precedent, although this time it is being done in a silent, unassuming manner, and in the quietest of atmospheres--that of the College Library.

For the first time in the history of the College, Radcliffe women taking special summer courses at the University are being permitted full library privileges similar to those accorded to Harvard men.

Reasons for the generous run-of-the-library is simple: Radcliffe's own library, where the women from across the Square usually study, is closed for the summer; leaving those few women going to summer term here with no alternative but the high-vaulted arches of Widener's main reading room.
