...believe that its deans have persistently cried "wolf," without real cause. The fact is rather that it is Harvard's policy that once a Faculty budget has been approved by the President and Fellows, the budget becomes a ceiling not to be exceeded without prior approval. Responsible department chairmen and administrators understandably seek to stay below the level. Since it usually is impossible to hit a precise target, responsible budget officers will run below this target except when confronted with special difficulties during the year which they typically discuss with the dean. Thus a $964,000 projected deficit is about...

I presented the factual background outlined here to a meeting of all department chairmen and budgetary officers on September 29th and to the Faculty Council on September 30th...

The business slowdown engineered by the Nixon Administration has clearly wrung much excess demand out of the economy...
...they fight for a homogeneous public philosophy, Democrats may ask whether this requires a realignment of the parties. Galbraith caught hell for suggesting a purge of the Southern bloc, which would mean allowing the Republicans to organize the House of Representatives and name the committee chairmen. If the legislative branch is in the hands of a conservative coalition, he argues, then the minority liberals must expose and attack the conservative power centers of Southern legislators. He excepted the Senate and, presumably, Senator Fulbright. The objective of a Southern purge, though, might also be accomplished through Congressional reform of the seniority...
