This folder contains two speeches given by DH. One was given at the Urban Design Conference at Harvard, and the other to the students of the Harvard Graduate School of Design. The folder also contains other miscellaneous correspondence and items.

Correspondence between John William Burgess, Columbia University presidents Seth Low and Nicholas Murray Butler, and other University administrators regarding a wide range of topics. Burgess held appointments as Ruggles Professor of Constitutional Law, dean of the faculty of Political Science and dean of the Faculties of Political Science, Philosophy and Pure Science. At times, he also seems to have acted in President Butler's stead during the president's absences from campus.

Can Architects Live Without Computers? by James Britton, Vital Questions, The American Institute of Architects. [1968?]; Questionnaire. [8 pp.]

Lindt begins this interview with a discussion of her time as chair of the Columbia University Ad Hoc Committee on Women's Studies. Lindt describes the emerging questions concerning women in academia in the mid- to late-1980s at Columbia. Lindt talks about the formation of IRWGS, the procedural challenges facing the young institute, and the impact of IRWGS on Columbia's academic environment, including a new examination of the Core Curriculum. Lindt then moves into a discussion of the Breslow Committee, a panel created in 1980 to consider the implementation of co-education at Columbia. Lindt cites her experience on the Breslow Committee as one which further motivated her to advocate on behalf of women in the academy. Lindt describes the inequality evident in the classroom following the admission of women, and the silence of both Barnard and Columbia College students. Lindt discusses the dilemma of teaching versus research experienced by faculty. She also discusses issues of sexual assault at Columbia and the ways that women's studies addresses sexual violence and harassment.
