...glad that you gave credit where it's due: to the Mayo Clinic for its group practice. Without its surgical and medical care, I would be long dead, left to the caprice of the medical societies of New York and Pennsylvania, with all their universities. They could take a few lessons in bedside manner from the plainsmen...
...observed her 100th birthday amid family and friends at her home in Hadlyme, Conn. The U.S., she believes, is a much better country now than when she began her crusade. "It has shed many injustices, much blindness, ignorance, arrogance, even ruthlessness." If that is true, she shares the credit...
...ROTC that next year the Army will add 16 more campuses. A student who signs up is committed to two years' active service as a second lieutenant. One attraction: he can boost his grades by taking relatively easy ROTC courses that carry as much as 30 hours of credit toward his B.A. degree. If he serves four years, he can get his entire undergraduate education paid for by the Army, plus $50 a month allowance. Now that draft deferments have ended for graduate students, ROTC looks like a bargain...
...ROTC is thriving at some state universities and Catholic colleges, it is simultaneously being banished from the Ivy League, a major source of precisely the kind of citizen-officers who might normally leaven the military with needed intellect and imagination. By faculty vote, ROTC will be stripped of academic credit and relegated to an extracurricular activity at Yale and Harvard. Dartmouth is considering whether to reduce the number of ROTC courses that qualify for credit or to drop credit altogether if ROTC is not moved off campus and limited to summer training camps. Similar recommendations are pending at Cornell...

At Columbia, for example, one ROTC officer currently has 90 hours' credit in teaching ghetto children. The critics do have one important point: the intellectual respectability of ROTC courses varies wildly from school to school, partly because the quality of the teachers and the credit hours vary just as wildly...
