Mack's swimming credentials are impeccable. The 6-ft., 4-in., 205-lb. former high school All-American had the misfortune last season of getting lost from the public's eye in the shadow of classmate Bobby Hackett. His value to the team showed through clearly in the Eastern Championships though, where he placed in three individual events and swam on all three of Harvard's second place relays...
...color photographs by Joel Meyerowitz currently on view at the Museum of Fine Arts and the Harcus Krakow Gallery display a lyric sensibility for which the thrill of the eye on the world's luminous surfaces -- water, sky, foliage,' flesh -- lovingly captured, contains intense emotional value. The photographs were shot with a largeformat view camera whose slow exposures and sizable 8x10 inch prints produce an almost magical sharpness and delicacy of color. All the photographs in the museum, and the majority in the gallery, were taken over two summers at Cape Cod. There, after many years' experience photographing in black...

In photographing an object or event, he is loyal primarily to his feelings, to his refined and vivid emotional impression of whatever his eye lands on; and, to somewhat warp and make literal a phrase of Wordsworth's, he throws over the photographed thing "a certain coloring of imagination." The hot oranges, yellow and pinks of pillows filling a couch struck by sunlight, the sharp whiteness of one boat on darkened water, the canteloupe-colored...
...possible, complacent delusions attendant to luxury and privilege at full work; that most women are not bathing beauties, and that this fact is not necessarily a misfortune; that to see, in Wordsworth's phrase, into the life of things, requires a particular kind of mental firmness behind the eye's excitement: that real perception and understanding involve more than ecstatic staring...
...there is more to this statement than meets the eye. Most policy decisions are made through a process which does seem to account for consideration of student opinion. Students are represented on nearly all of the committees which have much to do with governing Harvard. The key, however, is "represented"; by any standards our "representation" amounts to tokenism. Our numbers are always small, and only on advisory committees do we seem to be allowed other than non-voting representatives...
