He has asked his Secretary of Transportation, Brock Adams, to advise the engineers who design our mass-transit systems to simplify them so they are more functional.

...fully proficient in two separate areas of study, thus allowing students to select their own interests and eliminating narrow pre-professionalism. Frederick H.

Other Faculty suggestions include expanding the counseling program, providing more introductory-level courses for non-concentrators, and making the Core more flexible...
