...jobs and bread, even more so than of justice in the courts and of the vote." This definition of the Negro's needs is today strikingly out of date. ^ For most Negroes, the problem is no longer jobs, but better jobs; for many, it is no longer bread, but cake. The Negro wage earner today makes four times as much as in 1940 (compared to the white wage earner's 2½ times as much).

As Cherington summed it up: "Radcliffe has extremely high intellectual standards, yet the girls have style and 'elan', and take their highly varied and extensive social life well in their stride." Compared with other women's colleges, he said, "It ranks with Bryn Mawr and Barnard as the three leading intellectual colleges, yet it does not have 'the supra...
