If budgetary difficulties complicate the situation, why does he not adopt the Committee's suggestions for a more flexible budget and why does he not take the alumni into his confidence and make an active campaign for additional funds instead of quietly constricting Harvard's facilities to meet a declining interest rate? The graduating class brings to the alumni the consciousness that...

...Valentina Pavlovna Wasson of New York City has two adopted children. Like most foster parents, she fretted about telling her children that they were adopted. She finally solved her problem by doing a picture book for them about a Man and His Wife who were "happily married for many years. Their one trouble was that they had no babies of their own." The care they take in selecting a baby and the care the orphanage takes in checking on the foster parents-even peeking under their beds for dust (see cut)-are all described so as to reassure the children...
