Harvard will, one assumes, continue to attract in each freshman class about 150 young men who plan on becoming President of the United States-the student council president from Minneapolis who was governor of Boys' State, or the Milton grad who plays squash with the Kennedys. With the death of the Harvard Undergraduate Council, the Harvard Radcliffe Policy Committee...
