...good can come from merger with the callous and unjust University. But whatever the issue, women are now in no position to change anything, although they continue to be affected by Harvard's policies. Through merger, women can become a pressure group within the University more difficult to disregard than "those Radcliffe bitches...
...Pentagon to purée 90 quarts of strawberries for the dessert. Two hundred extra butlers were recruited to help serve a feast that began with suprême of seafood Neptune (crabmeat, tiny shrimps and scallops in sauce) served with hearts of palm and proceeded, with grateful disregard for the high price of meat, to roast sirloin of beef.

Bennett, who flatly opposed most of the resolutions, has suggested that some of his colleagues are sometimes less than sincere in taking stands that agree with the ACSR's. It seems likelier that his colleagues' concern that protest be effectively institutionalized through the ACSR--and perhaps their fear of militant actions like Mass...
