Oak Street UNCLASSIFIED What RADCLIFFE IS Giving New York iif umi-y ;k- ,„ 'jmiMin ADCLIFFE COLLEGE holds a unique place among institutions for the higher education of women. It is not an independent college, like Vassar or Smith. It is not a co-educational institution. It is not a department of Har- vard University; so that the University does not hold its property, appoint its teachers, or prescribe its policies. On the other hand, all teachers in RadclifFe College are teachers in Harvard University; RadclifFe students have access to the scientific establishments of the University, and have the use of the University Library; and Radcliffe graduates have access to the advanced instruction offered by the Faculty of Arts and Sciences of Harvard University. This relation between RadclifFe College and Harvard University has, as a matter of fact, given a peculiar value to the instruction given in RadclifFe College and to its diplomas. lo August, 1 92 1, What RADCLIFFE is Giving New York Facts about former students of Radcliffe College living in or near New York A NAME BEHIND EVERY FACT Issued by THE %ADCLIFFE CLUB of New Tork OCTOBER, 1921 IN EDUCATION New York Radcliffe Women are serving in these institutions: Columbia University New York University Barnard College Hunter College Pratt Institute Newark College and other institutions of college rank Commercial High School Morris High School DeWitt Clinton High School Washington Irving High School Hunter College High School Far Rockaway High School Bay Ridge High School Short Hills High School Elizabeth High School Pearl River High School New Rochelle High School Plainfield High School and other public high schools in and about New York Brearley School Lincoln School Cathedral School of St. Mary Roger Ascham School City and Country School Miss Spence's School Horace Mann School Scarborough School • and other well-known private schools Radcliffe Women hold these administrative posts: Assistant principal, Brearley School (1913-20) Mistress of Brooks Hall, Barnard College Principal, Berkeley Institute Principal, Cathedral School of St. Mary Principal, Dongan Hall Principal, Roger Ascham School RADCLIFFE TRAINING MEANS LEADERSHIP IN DIVERSE FIELDS OF EDUCATION IN OTHER PROFESSIONS New York Radcliffe Women are serving in these institutions: Children's Museum, Brooklyn Lecturer and educational secretary of the Woman's Auxiliary Metropolitan Museum of Art Lecturer Assistant in charge of lending collection New York Public Library and branches Presbyterian Hospital New York Radcliffe Women are active in Archaeology Law Medicine Physician Professional nurses Journalism Reporter on the city staff of the New York Evening Post Lecture work Specialists in art, education, social science, and other subjects Science Assistant in Nautical Almanac Office, Naval Observatory Telephone engineer with Western Electric Company Research worker in genetics and anthropology Editorial work Editors with textbook publishers (Charles E.

Radcliffe College came into existence because women needed and were seeking the same education as men at Harvard. Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Oilman of Cambridge, realizing the need, took steps to secure the co-operation of Professors Greenough, Goodwin, Child, and other Harvard professors, and with the back- ing of a committee of public spirited women of Boston and Cam- bridge, the first classes were held. This was in 1879. These first ^'Harvard girls'' numbered twenty-seven. Three years later, in 1882, the ''Harvard Annex" received its first formal name, "The Society for the Collegiate Instruction of Women.'' Mrs. Louis Agassiz was elected President. Under her leadership, in 1894 the Society petitioned the Massachusetts Legislature for an act of incorporation as Radcliffe College, with the right to give degrees which should bear the signature and seal of Harvard University. The college was named in honor of the first woman who gave money (1641) to Harvard — the wife of Sir Thomas Mowlson, Anne Radcliffe. Student Body. Five thousand women have taken courses at Radchffe; 2167 have received the A. B. degree, 513 the A. M., and 44 the Ph.D. At present there are 600 students from all sections of the country. The undergraduate life offers many interests, and Radcliffe girls learn how to organize their time, com- bining work and play in good proportion. In 1920-21, the leaders of the important organizations — the presidents of Student Govern- ment, of the Civics Club, of the Guild, and of the Athletic Asso- ciation — were all members of Phi Beta Kappa. Radchffe has a strong graduate school. In the past year there were 125 students, representing 44 universities, among them the Universities of Dublin, Edinburgh, Oxford, and Paris. Faculty. Instruction is given entirely by members of the Harvard teaching staff. Sixty-three full professors are this year offering courses at Radcliffe. Nineteen full professors, men of national reputation, are this year giving courses open to freshmen. The original purpose has always been maintained: to give women at Radcliffe the same education as men at Harvard, **in- struction of the same grade, in the same subjects, and by the same professors." RADCLIFFE OFFERS THE BEST TO ALL HER STUDENTS 12 WHAT RADCLIFFE NEEDS For Instruction — Income from ^1,000,000 Harvard instructors have most generously given their services for very slight compensation. The new Tuto- rial System is an added expense. Rad- clifFe must, in these days of costly living, pay adequately for instruction. For Administration, Care of Grounds and Buildings, Equipment and Improvements — Income from $1,000,000 For New Buildings $1,000,000 1 Dormitories $300,000 Recitation Hall 200,000 Laboratory 200,000 Infirmary 50,000 Changes in Fay House 50,000 Heating Plant 200,000 Total $3,000,000 More and better equipped laboratories are needed for the ele- mentary courses in science. Advanced students work in the Har- vard laboratories, but the elementary courses are given, with difficulties, at Radcliffe. More lecture rooms are needed. At present classes are being held in two old buildings, inadequate in ventilation and light. More places to live are needed. Cambridge homes and boarding-houses are over-crowded. Graduate students should be assured of comfortable quarters in which to do their concentrated work. The small dormitory available at Radcliffe for them accommodates this year only 12% of the graduate students. Radcliffe needs to pay its instructors to improve working conditions to meet living conditions Radcliffe needs $3,000,000 RADCLIFFE RECEIVED NO PART OF THE HARVARD ENDOWMENT FUND 13 CENTRAL COMMITTEE FOR RADCLIFFE ENDOWMENT FUND Director Miss Emilie H.
