...will take considerable courage for the President to give civil rights top priority on his legislative agenda. But delays in appropriation measures and even political risks should be accepted in order to enact the rights bill.

The significance of these rumblings is not that Harvard will actually enact more conservative rules, but that the response of the Masters to Radcliffe's growing liberalism and self-confidence will be reactionary rather than cooperative. And it is in these terms that one may understand the Masters' rejection of proposals to let girls dine in the Houses more frequently. The Masters...
