The Radcliffe Institute's proposal disregards the historical and ideological circumstances that occasioned the construction of the Cronkhite Graduate Center, and trespasses upon the express wishes of the very many generous benefactors who recognized the need to help improve the academic, social and economic welfare of graduates.
The Save Cronkhite Coalition seeks not to stifle the growth of Radcliffe. Its purpose is to save at all costs the unique graduate community that Cronkhite stimulates, and the interaction that is so absolutely necessary for intellectual and moral development. We seek, therefore, to work with both the Radcliffe Institute and Harvard to find a solution that does not endanger this extraordinary graduate experience.
