Ernst Mayr, Alexander Agassiz Professor of Zoology and a researcher and writer on evolution and natural selections, will become Director of the Museum of Comparative Zoology on July 1. He will succeed Alfred S. Romer, who also holds an Alexander Agassiz Professorship...

Kopit '59, the most richly gifted playwriting talent to pass through Harvard since Barry in the early 'twenties. Well directed by Michael B. Ritchie '60, with fine acting by Jacqueline French (when she could be heard) and F.
