...does the price of a bus balloon to $1 million? It begins the same way a familiar charter bus begins, as a $300,000 chassis, frame and outer shell manufactured by Prevost Car of St. Claire, Que., and a 500-h.p. Detroit Diesel engine.

Our administrative bodies are better fit for study by the Department of History than for the management of this institution. The authors of our Constitution recognized that a government should evolve over time--why is Harvard so reluctant to change its archaic ways? It is time for the Harvard Corporation, and the Administration as a whole, to move...
