Just up Garden Street, Harvard Had a Women’s Center

By Charles K. Storey

To the editors:

The article “College Considers Women’s Center” (News, Aug. 12) suggests that a women’s center, if created, would be the first in Harvard’s history.

It amazes me how much amnesia Harvard seems to have about the role of undergraduate women in the University. For over 100 years, Radcliffe served as a women’s center within the university. Now that the two institutions have merged, there seems to be a deliberate effort to pretend that Radcliffe never existed. ’Tis a pity.
