Norman R. Smith, assistant dean and director of career and student services, said yesterday he will construct "a databank of Harvard contacts" for the school's 742 students, adding that recent expansion has made students' previous reliance on individual faculty contacts impractical...

I see myself as a scholar-academic whose job it is to construct a good, solid concentration for undergraduates--to maintain and manage a worthy concentration. I would like to be judged on the extent to which I do that." How will Huggins conduct himself in helping defuse the disputes that may arise, as they have so often in the past ten years?
