...purpose is not always fulfilled. But this is no reason to abandon it, and adoption of the ratio system would amount to just that. For the system rests on the assumption that general education is a matter of quantity not quality, that the advantages of a Gen Ed course can be duplicated by any two or 15 departmental courses. This assumption is simply false. As Professor Chalmers said last week "two unsatisfactory departmental courses do not constitute a satisfactory Gen Ed course...

...February 24 CRIMSON editorial on Vietnam reflects the penchant for procrastination and wishful thinking which has dogged American foreign policy throughout our nation's history and which is rightly denounced by all responsible students of foreign affairs. The editorial urges the United States to abandon its present military position in Southeast Asia in the hope that Ho Chi Minh with a few million communist Vietnamese will fight off the Chinese for us.
