...little clout. Though they grumble to class agents and occasionally send off a letter to a dean, their complaints rarely reach more than a handful of people at the University, much less the world at large. It is rare indeed for a respectable American magazine to allow an old alum to fill its pages with nostalgic gripes. But since Harper's let Nelson W. Aldrich, Jr. '57 (one of the magazine's contributing editors) write such a piece for them, and since they made it the cover story of their March issue, and gave it the hype-laden title "Harvard...

Calder '57, headmaster of Germantown Friends School, one of the area's most successful schools for getting people into Harvard. Calder, who more than most is interested in what is happening educationally at Harvard, said he became acutely aware of the conservative nature and security of the institution when he received a mimeographed statement from then-president Nathan M. Pusey '28, sent out after the 1969 strike, comparing...
