...been suggested that I comment on Faculty attitudes towards the CRIMSON. I am as much perplexed for an answer to this suggesition as I often am when, on occasion, I am asked, "What does Harvard think"--about some controversial question.

Determined to take a short cut and do it in my head, I goofed, gave the wrong answer: 5. The third parabola's problem (adding five numbers up to four digits...
...Agnosticism, the experience of many seems to indicate, is not a state in which one can long dwell," President Pusey yesterday told the members of the Class of 1958 in the sermon of the Baccalaureate Service, "for trust we must in someone or something.
