...will make loans less avail able-and more expensive. Very shortly, people seeking a bank loan for a car, a trip or a color TV set will probably find that it is costing them more in interest than it would have last week; those with less than gilt-edged credit ratings may find it impossible to borrow from a bank.

Harvard does indeed give these courses, and it gives credit for them. Certainly you will admit that the decision to teach the professions in the graduate schools rather than in the College is based on pragmatic grounds, not grounds of principle. Engineering, for instance, is a profession in which undergraduates may take their degree...
...Faculty also voted to change the Soc Rel sophomore tutorial into a half-course for credit running throughout the year, to abolish the four areas of undergraduate study, and to revamp...
