The Radcliffe Club of San Francisco, founded in 1898, is the oldest and last remaining independent Radcliffe club in the world. Membership is open to all alumnae of the former Radcliffe College and to anyone who has been connected with any Harvard University department as a student, instructor or parent of a student. We are an official Harvard Alumni Association club.
