Radcliffe College. Office of the Dean.

The Office of Women's Education was established with half-time staff under the aegis of the Office of Admissions and Financial Aid in 1972 by President Horner to ensure equal opportunities for women on campus. It offered an advisory and advocacy service for women in the Faculty of Arts and Sciences. It became an independent office under Director Judith. Walzer in 1974. The activities of the office included career and concentration meetings, advice to women's organizations (Radcliffe Union of Students, Radcliffe-Harvard Women's Center, Association of Black Radcliffe Women), the organization of class events (Fresmen Core Program, Junior Parent's Day, Tree-trimming etc.) and the publication of A Woman's Guide to Harvard and Cliffe Notes , a monthly newsletter. It administered grants to graduate women, prizes and fellowships and an internship program. It organized a luncheon series at the Bunting Institute where graduate women could meet informally with staff, Bunting Fellows and faculty. Another purpose was to study the undergraduate experience. Among its research studies were: a study of older women students, a study of prizes and fellowships and a study of athletic opportunity at Harvard.
