...University of California at Berkeley emerged "the best distinguished university in the country" in a massive report on graduate schools published today by the American Council on Education. But Harvard still ranked first in four of the five major areas of study examined...
...sympathies to Berkeley's Haller, who seems to have fallen under the random eye of your report on college teaching, under the heading "Harsh Judgments." As a Berkeley student, I found Dr. Haller a fine teacher and a serious scholar. Neither he nor his students seemed "bored."

A critique more likely to keep Oxford in the front ranks of such world pacesetters as Harvard and Berkeley could probably come only from a commission outside Oxford's own establishment. Philosopher Franks' report did not seem frank enough...
