...news of the birth, but they were also cheering Bell himself for breaking the unwritten rules of professorial conduct, which preclude any emotional openness in the presence of the students. Bell is down to earth in a way that academic giants like Stanley Hoffmann and Walter Jackson Bate can never hope to be. Few students seem to know or even like the best and brightest of the Harvard faculty. Unflappable, omnicompetent, unremittingly rational, the Harvard prof remains--with a few exceptions--cooly unapproachable...
...Faculty financial officers say. The only Faculty members who will draw that top rate are the University Professors, a select group of scholars granted the honorary distinction of not being confined to a single department. There will be six next year: historian Bernard Bailyn, literature scholar Walter Jackson Bate. Nobel-winning physicist Nicolaas Bloembergen, economist John Dunlop, historian and Harvard Librarian Oscar Handlin, and philosopher John Rawls...
Take the institution describes, The Harvard Book changes very little from year to year. Of the 108 essays and articles included, five have been written since Lexington High School honored its distinguished junior of 1977.

I did see enough lectures to know Harvard's oldest heritage is safe for a good many years to come. Stare around; the glorious supernova that was Walter Jackson Bate in our day, and hot ascendant luminary that in Stephen Jay Gould, to name just two. I didn't have the time to write a thesis (too busy solving world problems), but some of my best friends...And once, before I went to outback West Texas on a research trip, I spelunker...
...Society has been almost clairvoyant in selecting promising students. Many of the fledgling scholars who have passed through the Society's doors have gone on to become the country's most successful and influential educators. A good 50 of them are now at Harvard, including Dean Rosovsky, Walter Jackson Bate, William Bossert. Harvey Brooks, John V. Kelleher, Harry Levin. Albert Lord, and E.O. Wilson. Daniel Ellsberg, who leaked the Pentagon Papers to the New York Times, was a junior fellow: so was historian and Kennedy scholar Arthur M. Schlesinger Jr., MIT linguist Noam Chomsky, poet Richard Wilbur, and McGeorge Bundy...
