BEETHOVEN: THE NINE SYMPHONIES (RCA Victrola; 8 LPs). Another big package, but at the bargain price of $20.

The single most constructive result of the Mallinckrodt demonstration was the creation of the Student-Faculty Advisory Council. Here was a Committee which could bridge the apparent gaps between students, Faculty, and the administration, and prevent a recurrence of this unhappy chapter in Harvard's history...
