'Cliffe Students Pack Up Troubles

Wiser, some sadder, and a few disillusioned, a hundred young women in the Radcliffe summer secretarial and publishing courses not only pack up shorthand notebooks for the last time at Longfellow Hall today, but also mixed impressions of the Harvard male on warm weather prowl.

"Harvard's nice in the summer, but Yale is better in the winter," remarked Miss Anne Carpenter of Philadelphia and a graduate of Vassar College yesterday, fondly recalling bulldogs curled up by the fire on snowy Poughkeepsie evenings.

Tale of Woe

More pessimistic in her outlook on love and life was Miss Maureen Sullivan, a Trinity College grad completing the secretarial course. She woe-fully described her six week Cambridge sojourn as "blood, sweat, and tears."

Fashion notes from Longfellow Hall were added by Smith graduate Helen Mills of New York City, who found the local college habit of "going around in flannel shorts the most ridiculous and absurd thing that I have ever seen."

In a similar critique of prevailing styles Miss Lois Salsgate, Middlebury alumna, confessed years of proximity to the University had somewhat inured her to the Crimson approach. "Every Harvard man I've seen," declared Miss Salsgate, "has had a little green bag over his shoulder and the posture to match."

Oblique Observations

Cryptic comments from behind a battery of crossed legs and typewriters came from Miss Sally Leavitt, Radcliffe '49, and Miss Maureen Collins, of Emmanuel College in Boston. Chirped Miss Leavitt, "My father's a Dartmouth man and I guess I'm spoiled," while Miss Collins thought "beautiful men, and I've seen some around, are extremely interesting."

Another Emmanuel product, Miss Grace O'Neill of Boston, sighed sadly in reminiscing over the past weeks, as she voted "thumbs down on eight out of ten of your typical Harvard men. But then," she brightened, "there's always the other two."

Damnation with faint praise was provided by Margaret Fulton, a grad of Bard College, Annandale, N.Y., who emphatically stated that "there's no such thing as a Harvard man. They're all just men."
