Handlin explained last night that he offered his amendments because, in his opinion fourth-course pass-fail "doesn't face up to the real issue.

Most of Harvard's schools have already had a number of social scientists and doctors involved in teaching urbanrelated courses, guiding research projects, and organizing action programs in Cambridge and the Boston community. But the Ford grant last week, by creating professorships, will add a new degree of continuity and coherence to urban studies.
