Those who advocate total merger for Harvard and Radcliffe on the grounds that it would increase financial aid for women had the wind taken out of their sails this week when the two colleges revealed plans for a $5 million fund drive to equalize undergraduate scholarships after June 1975.
"You shouldn't need to have merger in order to accomplish the things that need to be done," Hugh Calkins'45, a Fellow of Harvard College and co-chairman of the scholarship drive, said last week.
Ann C. Calkins '49, will join her husband as co-chairman of committee, which will solicit the bulk of its contributions from Harvard-Radcliffe couples.
Hope Wigglesworth, director of the Radcliffe College Fund, said that financial aid has stood out as an exception to the responsibility Harvard and Radcliffe share in other areas, and called the fund drive a "symbol of a working partnership between the two colleges."
