The Institute has not impacted me at all. I think we’ve gone by the mourning period for our college, that’s why I have ambivalent feelings about the Radcliffe name continuing. I don’t feel there is much continuity there.
What do you think is in Radcliffe’s future?
I don’t know to what degree Radcliffe will be able to fund itself. I am pretty sure that in another era I would have thought that Radcliffe would be in my will—I don’t think it will now. If it passes, I will say too bad. I am now at the stage in my life when I would have contributed more, and I will continue in my support of Radcliffe, but I won’t go the extra mile that I would have for the college.
