...from Pitzer. Experience has shown that consortiums need not create vast impersonal multiversities; even in the closest alliances, colleges can and do preserve their individuality. One of the oldest such arrangements (1925) is the agreement that now unites California's six neighboring Claremont Colleges near Los Angeles. Next autumn, for example, Linda ("Penny") Kugler, a junior at Pitzer, will study U.S. colonial history at Harvey Mudd, American literature at Claremont Men's College, economics at Pomona. Penny will reside in a Pitzer dorm, most of the time eat in dining rooms at Harvey Mudd or Claremont...
Military Stupidity. Novelist-Historian Mari Sandoz (Old Jules, Cheyenne Autumn), who died in March at 68, confirms this in her admirable account of the battle. Like most historians, she agrees that Custer was guilty of military stupidity when he divided his attacking force of about 650 men into three groups and placed them too far apart to support each other effectively.

Gone was the dynamic but phony "Kennedy pose" that his public relations advisers had forced on him for last autumn's campaign.

He has always believed in kleine Schritte-small steps-toward that end, and the exchange of speakers with the Communists neatly fitted the pattern of limited contacts...
Although recent events have brought the conflict into sharper focus, the problem is not new. Since its every beginnings, Radcliffe has struggled with its identity, constantly attracted and repelled by the larger University. In the autumn of 1876, a small group of Cambridge residents met to discuss the need for an institution for the higher education of women in the university. Proceeding cautiously, they gained President Eliot's qualified approval for their proposal, then contacted certain carefully selected members of the Harvard Faculty to request that they teach qualified females. In all their dealings, the founders made two points very...
