'Cliffe Reports No Increase in Marriages Despite Rise at Other Women's Colleges

Radcliffe students have managed to resist the current trend towards abandoning education for an early marriage, which a college president claims is sweeping women's campuses throughout the nation.

Dr. Anne Gary Pannell, president of Sweet Briar College, warned last week that wartime marriages are on the increase. "We see the abandonment of promising college careers in midstream whenever the possibility of marriage is presented," she said.

The Radcliffe Dean's Office denied this week any such trend exists at the Annex. Although 45 undergraduates are married, only five have left the college for the specific purpose of getting a husband. About two-thirds of those who remain are married to men attending Harvard.
