Dean Sherman Finds Radcliffe's Reputation Reaches Over Nation

Radcliffe is becoming better known, Dean Sherman said yesterday, after touring the eastern United States as Radcliffe ambassador. A high school group in Calumet, Michigan was the only group she met that never heard of Radcliffe. The students, she said, were daughters of Polish copper miners.

The common misconception of Radcliffe, Dean Sherman said, is that it is an academic factory. High school girls think the other big women's colleges are gayer socially and not as tough academically. This idea, she explained, is probably a carry-over from Radcliffe's early days.

Radcliffe Misunderstood

Dean Sherman said that you can't judge the student of today from the alumna of 20 years ago.

Dean Sherman is now visiting local alumnae groups. Next year she will visit the parts of the country which she missed this year. Her purpose is to stimulate alumnae groups as well as to interest students in Radcliffe.
