...Pusey emerged from his den in Massachusetts Hall to blast those "overeager young" student protesters "who feel they have a special calling to redeem society." Harvard students do not often hear from their President, and their reaction to this diatribe may have convinced him to resume hibernation. Harvard's era of dissaffection is far from spent, and Pusey's remarks will do little to hasten its demise...

Jean Cocteau believed that movies could never become a true art until the materials to make them were as inexpensive as pencil and paper. The era he predicted is rapidly arriving. Students can now make a short film for as little as $25, and a workable 16-mm. camera can be had for as little as $40. McLuhan-age educators, moreover, welcome this form of creative endeavor. Some foresee the day when film training will be an accepted...
