(5) Fund Raising. Radcliffe alumnae, along with Harvard alumni, should share responsibility for the support of the educational and social programs that serve men and women alike. Because of the increasing use of funds from both Harvard and Radcliffe sources for students of both institutions, and because of the responsibility of both to secure the required funds, Harvard and Radcliffe fund-raising organizations should work out plans for joint operation as far as practicable, both in annual alumni-alumnae giving and in special purpose and other capital gift drives.

(6) Business Operations. In order to effect what are expected to be substantial savings, business operations of the two institutions, including buildings and grounds, dining halls, the Comptroller's Office, and other such departments or activities as may be agreed upon by the Dean of Radcliffe College and the Harvard Administration, should be brought together Plans should be made promptly to effect these changes efficiently, fairly and in harmony with existing obligations. Radcliffe would retain ownership of its property, including its endowment and funds held in or received for the Program for Radcliffe College, and would continue to manage its own endowment in consultation with the Harvard Treasurer. It should be left to the Dean of Radcliffe to work out with Harvard the use of and responsibility for certain Radcliffe buildings, for example, the Radcliffe Graduate Center. While it is contemplated that this building will be used to house graduate students of both sexes, Radcliffe may wish to use a part of it as a center for various activities.

(7) Governing Boards. As the two student bodies become more nearly one, so should the efforts of the Governing Boards. This process should be expedited by a Joint Committee composed of Harvard Overseers and Radcliffe Trustees, which should meet at least two or three times a year to review problems of the joint operation. In reviewing how well the provisions of this agreement work in practice, the Governing Boards of Harvard and the Trustees of Radcliffe should make use of the services of the Committee of the Overseens to visit Harvard College. "Radcliffe" should be included in the name of that committee, and Radcliffe Trustees and alumnae, as well as women of other backgrounds, in the membership. The Committee should meet regularly and devote close attention to the problems of co-education. If all members of the Harvard-Radcliffe community work together for the best possible educational system for men and for women, the spirit of Radcliffe will continue in this new arrangement with Harvard.

(8) Revised Contract. The arrangement contemplated in this report should be embodied in a revised contract between Harvard and Radcliffe. This contract would become effective June 30, 1971, subject to such judicial approval as necessary, and will be subject to review during the academic year 1974-75. Radcliffe would have the right to terminate the arrangement effective June 30, 1975, if the Radcliffe Trustees so determine, and Harvard would have the right to reopen the details of the arrangement effective on that date if the Harvard Corporation so determines.
