The Class of '59 will be in a good position to evaluate such judgments at its twenty-fifth reunion when it returns to the Harvard of 1984. Until it can, the Class can rest content with the judgments of two of the University's top administrators. Dean Bender has said that the Class of '59 contains "an extraordinary number of extraordinary characters." And Dean Monro thought that '59 will prove itself "one heck of a good class."
