...students as a source of food and cigarettes, as entertainers, as a way of getting off the ward for a while, or as employees extraordinary of the hospital and therefore as people who are potentially dangerous and should be impressed." Hours of group activities, therefore, often produce only casual friendships, and may seem little more than a good way for patients to kill time...
Behind Dunster House the Cambridge slum unrolls its several miles of quiet grandeur.
