...goldfish-swallowing type of revelry, interest in almost every field of extracurricular activity has been high. Activities which lapsed during the war have been revived. And while Dean-elect Bender and others have frequently pointed out the egocentric nature of the present undergraduates, they have at least been individually conscious of the significance of events outside the college sphere...
...careful detail, the book is not complete. Boyer ignores the internal political frictions that have ripped the union from the start. He makes the simple assumption that the N.M.U. is a representative American union. It is not. Not many unions are as militant or as politically conscious.

...economic analysis. Nor can the social scientist neglect the importance of a sound grasp of the study's principles and problems. But the stubborn fact persists that government and history concentrators criticize Economics A as more a menace than a means toward providing an admittedly desirable background. The graph-conscious approach, while clear to the average science major, sears a little above the head of the future historian or politician...
