But the very skeleton of Harvard has changed. Now men and women truly share the College.
Some students question, though, whether Radcliffe's dissolution means that undergraduate women have lost an advocate, and a friend.
Maura M. Pelham '00 remembers when Radcliffe was still an integral part of the university.
"I think it's unfortunate that the sense of tradition of having a Radcliffe degree on your diploma is lost," she says. "I think it's sad that there's that loss of tradition of female solidarity."
And the person that some say was undergraduates' most important advocate, former Dean of Students Archie C. Epps III, has stepped down from his prominent post.
It was not uncommon in past years to see Epps walking through the Yard or lunching with Loker.
"In conversation with him he was very warm and approachable," says Eric R. Rosenbaum '01.
First-years should know that even though seniors have done their best to make Harvard a better place, there's a lot that they didn't have time to change.
