On one side they mounted a plaque commemorating the moment, twenty-five years before, when female students began living in the freshmen dormitories in the Yard. On the other side of the new gate they attached a sentence from the autobiography of the seventeenth-century Puritan poet, Ann Bradstreet: “My heart rose up when I beheld a new country with new manners.” By planting Bradstreet’s words on one side of the gate and the 1972 anniversary on the other, the College symbolically linked centuries of female achievement with a presumed landmark in Harvard’s history. But in beginning women’s history at Harvard in 1972, they also obliterated the history of Radcliffe, its ostensible sister college. That fact was not lost on the Radcliffe alumnae who bitterly objected to the supposed “Twenty- Fifth Anniversary of Coresidency.” In their view the new gate fortified old fences. The argument over the Bradstreet gate was one of several public controversies over relations between Harvard and Radcliffe in the years before the final merger of the two institutions. This anthology grew out of a joint effort by Harvard’s Charles Warren Center for the Study of American History and Radcliffe’s Schlesinger Library for Women’s History to elevate historical discourse during that troubled period. Together, the Warren Center and the Schlesinger sponsored summer grants for senior thesis writers, organized two well-attended conferences on gender in Harvard and Radcliffe history, and supported the creation of a “women’s history” tour of Harvard and Radcliffe yards. This anthology is a final step in our collaboration. 1 2 Like the conferences that preceded it, this book brings together scholarly essays, “snapshots” from the archives, and memoirs. It includes work by professional historians and by the gifted undergraduates who were recipients of Warren Center-Pforzheimer grants for summer research. We began this project in the hope that serious history might improve communication within the Harvard-Radcliffe community, but our larger objective was to demonstrate new ways of writing history. Although I am responsible for the final editing of the book, many others contributed to its completion. Mary Dunn, then director of the Schlesinger Library, helped launch the larger project. Jane Knowles, Radcliffe archivist and later acting director of the Schlesinger, was co-conspirator from the beginning. Susan Hunt, then administrator of the Charles Warren Center, and Sylvia McDowell of the Schlesinger Library, offered wonderful support in the early stages. Later, Elizabeth Nichols gathered and edited essays. Odette Binder assumed the many administrative tasks necessary to a project of this scope, and also compiled the index. Patricia Denault, associate director of the Charles Warren Center, skillfully accomplished the final editing. I am grateful to Helen Horowitz and Ruth Feldstein for reviewing an early version of the manuscript, to the many Harvard and Radcliffe alumni/ae students, faculty, and staff who shared their stories, insights, and frustrations. Most of all, I thank the authors who generously contributed their time and energy to this volume. Laurel Thatcher Ulrich Cambridge, Massachusetts 2 3 August 2003 3 3 List of Illustrations 1.

His outraged face reminds her that only the fellows and scholars are allowed on the grass. A few minutes later, inspired by her reverie on a passage from Milton, she ascends the steps to the library. “Instantly there issued, like a guardian angel barring the way with

Lowell Charles s. h opkinson (1869-1962) The Innocent Eye June 8-July 20, 2013 V ose Fine American Art for Six Generations Est 1841 G alleries llc introduCtion Vose Galleries is pleased to present our fifth one-man exhibition of works by Boston painter Charles Sydney Hopkinson (1869-1962), most of which have come directly from the Hopkinson family and have never before been offered for sale. We present fifteen watercolors and fifteen oil paintings, including the powerful cover work, Yacht Races , which illustrates Hopkinson’s life long search for new methods and ideas in the making of art. Unlike most of his Boston con - temporaries who studied and taught at the School of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, Hopkinson chose a different approach. He studied at the Art Students League in New York City, whose instructors followed a less dogmatic method of teaching. The artist also made several trips to Europe, where he viewed exciting new forms of self-expression. He was one of only a few Boston artists to be invited to show work in the avant-garde International Exhibition of Modern Art in New York City in 1913, which exposed audiences to the radical art movements taking place in Europe, particularly in France. Now cel - ebrating its one-hundredth year anniversary, the exhi - bition, which is now commonly referred to as the Armory Show of 1913, has become a watershed in the history of modernism in the United States.
