...HAVEN'T heard anything about the Committee on Undergraduate Education (CUE) this year, that is probably because it has not managed to meet yet. CUE will hold its first introductory meeting this week and its first major session November 15, exactly two months after Harvard registration...
Glen W. Bowersock '57, chairman of CUE and associate dean of undergraduate education, says CUE has not met yet because the Faculty Council only recently announced which of its members have volunteered this year to sit on CUE, which is composed of five Faculty Council members and five students from the Educational Resources Group (ERG).

But judging from past performance, even when Bowersock does find a time when all ten members can meet, less than half the faculty members are likely to put in an appearance...

Henderson is probably right. But what is even more irksome is the assumption the Council makes that Harvard students will immediately flock to third-string foreign schools if given the chance; therefore, the study abroad experiences must be suspiciously monitored to maintain "quality control." Davis, for instance, recommended in his memo...
