Miss Smith to Direct New Radcliffe Institute

Constance E. Smith, associate professor of Political Science at Douglass College, has been appointed Director of the Radcliffe Institute for Independent Study by President Mary L. Bunting. She will begin part-time work immediately and take over on a full-time basis in June.

Miss Smith, who received her M.A. and Ph.D. from Radcliffe, will control policies and procedures of the Institute, designed for women with the Ph.D. degree or its equivalent in achievement.

In addition, Miss Smith will conduct intensive research into the problems of the talented, educated women, investigating her motivations and ambitions and her response to the double role of wife and professional women.

Mrs. Douglas W. Bryant has been appointed Assistant to the Director to work part-time with Miss Smith on administrative organization of the Institute.
