Next year's students will face these uphill struggles alone. Sidney Verba '53, professor of Government, chosen to replace outgoing Associate Dean for Undergraduate Education Glen W. Bowersock '57, will be on sabbatical; because Rosovsky did not deem it necessary to appoint a temporary replacement, students will lack an administrative ally during the critical early stage of Core and tutorial legislation, a time when many educational reforms are just beginning to gather momentum.

It is an outstanding collection with at least two stories that continue to reverberate...
