...very much to drop their thesis but don't. The discontent of thesis-writing seniors is apparent to friends, of course--thesis writers are wont to stumble bleary-eyed into a dining hall and gripe about their work--but often invisible to official Harvard. Seniors probably do not often complain to counselors and advisers when they have problems with their these or problems with courses because of too much thesis work. For example, William G.

...risk of devoting disproportionate emphasis to formal analytic techniques. Among the subjects I have described, statistics, economics and the related methods of analysis may appear to have more content because they are more precise and reflect a more developed body of knowledge. Teachers in these fields are likely to complain that a professional curriculum allows them too little time to convey an adequate understanding of their disciplines.

The companies complain that when the Labor government first granted them concessions in the late 1960s, a takeover was not part of the deal. Worried about all those problems, bankers have been reluctant to grant new loans for North Sea operations, and Amoco, Conoco, Occidental and Phillips Petroleum have lately scaled down drilling additional wells...
