Harvard has never lost possession of the trophy, but will be rowing against a Bruin squad which turned in an impressive win over Boston University last week. Rutgers lost its first two outings by close margins to strong Princeton and Yale...
Research has turned scholars into entrepreneurs, switching their loyalty from universities to the Government or corporations that pay the bills. As universities raid one another's top scholars, the stars take their research grants with them, as well as their close colleagues. Where faculty members were once devoted to their university, many now focus on their own movable fiefdoms. Worse for students, they view mere teaching as an onerous chore. Graduate students do most undergraduate teaching, while top professors shuttle to Washington to advise men in power...
...manage to convey this impassioned style better than Boston's Old Mole,*the small, revolutionary biweekly in Boston that published the confidential files "liberated" from Harvard's University Hall last week, under the triumphant headline "Reading the Mail of the Ruling Class." Some of these letters reveal close ties between Harvard faculty men and the CIA, the State Department and the Defense Department. Old Mole's comments on these documents and other issues are wildly oversimplified, deliberately provocative, and seeded with occasional grains of truth. Excerpts...
...Close Ties. Miners are legitimately resentful of the union's niggardly pension system, which gives them only $115 a month after 20 hazardous years underground. Lewis has retired - and Boyle will retire - at full pay: $50,000 a year. Though miners are the nation's greatest sufferers from occupational ailments - notably "black lung" or pneumoconiosis - they get medical benefits only so long as they remain on the job.

The second is a lack of close and honest consideration for black students. In his speech to the Faculty, Professor Rosovsky seemed more interested in defending the integrity and intent of the Rosovsky Committee and of its report than in honestly considering the desperate need for institutionalized communication between Faculty and blacks, or the vital necessity and great value of the black student's participation in the creation of Afro-American Studies at Harvard...
