...purpose of the university, argued Reagan, is "to ensure perpetuation of a social structure-a nation, if you will." By this he meant not preservation of the status quo but a concern "for the individual and his right to fulfillment." In an age in which "acceptance is given more and more to the concept of lifting men by mass movements and collective action," said Reagan, the universities above all should remember the "road from the swamp to the stars is studded with the names of individuals who achieved fulfillment and lifted mankind another rung...
Running two hours and 40 minutes, The Comedians has everything but economy, and Director Peter Glenville has tarried with a story that might have been twice as good at half the length.

Professor Hoffmann's suggestion for a Faculty-student-Administration committee is a welcome indication of concern. President Pusey should implement this suggestion as soon as possible in order to begin meaningful communication between Faculty and students. Now that the Faculty has taken action against the Mallinckrodt offenders, it should discuss possibilities to avoid the growing division between "us and them...
