women would be available for formal lectures in the classroom, (for example,
an alumna who is a civil rights lawyer could speak before a political
science class), and for informal discussions about a particular pattern
of life. Such speakers would be but one aspect of a larger program of
realistic counselling for undergraduates and lectures which could be
open to Columbia students and to residents of the community.

The woman who wants to go back to work after a period of years away
from the job market has a number of needs: facts about kinds of available
jobs; retraining in order to get certain jobs; funds to underwrite such
retraining; and moral support. Barnard could set up a data bank and
a system of regional counselors to give women (and undergraduates) the
support they might want. Alumnae clubs in Philadelphia and Washington
have already begun to do this on a local level.

The Seven College Conference is now exploring ways in which to
establish a roster of women scholars. The Women's Center could administer
that roster, as well as maintain lists of other woman professionals, which
institutions could consult while trying to correct inequities in hiring practices.
