Elje jNirtir Jjork ®im 1973 The trustees of Columbia University and Bar nard Col- lege have agreed to replace what has often seemed a policy of reluctant co-existence with a new relationship of institutional and fiscal integration without assimila- tion. Under the plan undergraduates on either side of upper Broadway ' s great divide will be able to take full advantage of courses, libraries and research facilities on both campuses. The arrangement means that the two in- stitutions prefer to live together and share each other ' s wealth, without binding marriage ties-not an unfashio- nable compromise. The long-overdue entente cordiale will touch the purse strings of both schools, thus offering reasonable assur- ance that the pledge to cooperate in the hiring of new faculty members and in the general planning of staff and curriculum will be more than a statement of good in- tentions. Efforts to eliminate duplication could, if they are considered more than a money-saving device, open up new opportunities for each college to concentrate on its areas of potential strength. Critical observers will want to see whether rejection of a full merger has indeed been motivated by faith in their separate identities rather than by the conservatism of two proud institutions. Meanwhile, the Barnard-Colum- bia action offers one more hint that the faddish momen- tum of a national bandwagon rolling toward coeducation as the only approved higher education model may be slowing down. Wellesley and Chatham have recently up- held the banner of the separate women ' s colleges, and Amherst last month opted for remaining male. Some feminists may interpret the Barnard-Columbia compromise as an accommodation to male dominance; but we find greater merit in the trustees ' statement that the search for effective cooperation in no way precludes the maintenance and development of distinctively dif- ferent programs in response to different needs. hi Bridge Across Broadway 1 1

The class of 1975 is the end of an era for Barnard and Co- lumbia. We were freshmen in the spring of 1972 when the last whimpers of student revolt were heard. Since then, the campus has changed. Newspapers harrangue us for our political apathy and castigate us for our rampant pre-pro- fessionalism. However, to one who has been there, the mood is serious, not grim. In these past four years, we have found strength within ourselves as women and scholars. Now we take with us all that we have learned, so that we may affect others, and possibly change the world. As we leave the college, we leave part of our past behind, and we become part of the past of Barnard College.
