Burly Chicago Engineer Ted Erikson, 36, looked at the English Channel and said: "I can't afford to swim more than 30 hours. I have an important business appointment in Spain day after tomorrow." Then he waded in, hoping to become the second man to complete the 44-mile round trip to France and back. He took 12 hr. 35 min. to get halfway, was back to within eight miles of Dover when the channel turned against him, forced him to quit.

Blaine uses his theory in "short-term psychotherapy," the usual treatment offered by the Health Services. In the program, the student usually comes in once...
Despite the variety of forms which the syndrome takes, the problems of the sophomore year at Radcliffe do share one characteristic. Dr. Erik Erikson pointed out in an interview that the Radcliffe sophomore finds the moratorium of her freshman year replaced by many pressures to commit herself. For example, Harvard demands that the Radcliffe student choose a field of concentration by her sophomore year. Also, she tends to choose her patterns of social life in her second year of college...
