...city's Europeans generally choose it over the new government hospital. Few hospitals anywhere can offer such a dedicated staff, or one that lives as austerely. Each of the doctors and nurses occupies a single room equipped with iron bed, enamel wash basin and kerosene lamp; meals usually consist of fried bananas and other fruit. The old man stubbornly refuses to go modern. Says he: "Circumstances command that the hospital be primitive in keeping with the primitive state of the people." He believes that Africans enjoy discomfort, and that they are often afraid of a gleaming white modern hospital...
...Lyle Guslander's Coco Palms resort has become the bellwether for hotel operations on other islands. A low, sleek structure whose two long arms embrace a central lagoon, Coco Palms features local color. Bed-lamp shades are plastic copies of the feathered helmets kings once wore, bathroom basins consist of giant clamshells, and guests are called to meals by a leather-lunged islander blowing into a conch shell. Another Gus-lander development, the 22-month-old Hanalei Plantation, is situated on a promontory that was used as the set for the movie of South Pacific. It is designed...

The result is "an extraordinarily productive environment," says Kerr-one that puts the multiversity squarely in the life of society rather than being an inward-looking "house of intellect." The multiversity cannot go back: "Knowledge is wanted, even demanded, by more people than ever before. Knowledge today is for everybody's sake...
Harvard College, therefore, seems to consist largely of a process of limited interaction between scholars and students. In which the scholars often ignore the humanistic values of liberal education, show a disregard of reason in their practices, and in fact do little but recreate their own kind among their students, while a group of disaffected undergraduates seek elsewhere for what they think Harvard should offer. Am I mistaken as to the purported aim of Harvard College? Is it really meant to be a trade school, despite all protestations to the contrary? Or should the Peace Corps send some real teachers...
