Patti B. Saris: Local Judge Cites Harvard As Inspiration

In her second semester as a freshman, the dorms went co-ed and women were first allowed to live by the river.

Her move from Currier House to Dunster House after her sophomore year was a relief, says Saris who became the associate managing editor for The Crimson in her junior year.

The nighttime walk to the Quad after late hours at The Crimson was unpleasant when no shuttles were running.

As a first-year and sophomore, Saris says, she didn't have to take any final exams; students were on strike because of the Vietnam War.

In addition to The Crimson, Saris got involved with the Institute of Politics (IOP). Eventually, she became a member of their student advisory board.

And, last but not least, she met her husband at Harvard, too--he was a Government major and head of Harvard Student Agencies. Now they have four children--two boys and two girls

It was after her graduation from Harvard Law School in 1976 that Saris made a name for herself.
