...ordered world of young womanhood hopefully achieved in the junior and senior years." We wonder about the alchemy in the Radcliffe environment that magically transforms confused adolescents into mature young women at the completion of sixteen half courses. We are more dubious that any group has a right to assert its own maturity while doubting that of others. In the informal RGA poll being conducted today on the subject of rule changes, each student should reply according to her confidence in herself, and not according to possible deleterious effects on her fellows of this opportunity for responsible social decision.

This belief is compounded partly of a desire to assert, once and for all, that the Army's service in the colonies has not been outside the main-stream of contemporary French history. Just as de Gaulle is anxious to keep his record clean for posterity by finishing what he pledged to finish, so the O.A.S. leadership is concerned lest...
