HUPD Chief Says Harvard Yard Encampment is Peaceful, Defends Students’ Right to Protest
To the Editors of the CRIMSON:
Your recent article on the "Cliffe Girl: An Instructor's View" was most interesting, but not entirely accurate.
I did marry a Radcliffe woman (and heartily agree with McGeorge Bundy that it was "an excellent idea")--Barbara Ewing '46. BUT:
1) she was not a student in any of the classes I taught, or helped teach, at Radcliffe. (Although she dropped one advanced course at Harvard when she learned that I was to grade papers in it.)
2) I was not an "exception to the rule"--viz., that only married men taught the all-girl sections at Radcliffe. I was married in the summer of 1946, and was assigned my first Gov. 1 section at Radcliffe in the fall. This is not to suggest I wouldn't have enjoyed being "the exception", but to insist for the record that the pleasure was never mine.
I'm sorry if this spoils an interesting bit of Radcliffeana; but it just warn't so. Paul Yivisaker
