...patent attempt by the Massachusetts Senate to kill the Serlin Bill by amending it and sending it to a committee for further consideration is irresponsible. Hitherto I have refrained from taking public sides on this issue because my natural inclination has been to favor voluntary over legislated change. George Washington would have recognized that I might have been naive. In a letter to John Jay in August, 1786, he wrote, "experience has taught us that men will not adopt and carry into execution measures the best calculated for their own good without the intervention of a coervice power".

Like the gentlemen they sometimes are, Columbia males had gallantly vacated a number of rooms to make the sleep-in not only possible but, so to speak, proper as well.

This saves Harvard the trouble of having to more blatantly put into practice the biases in admissions that favor those with the advantages of "nature and inheritance," i.e., preppies, and sons of those "ruling." Yet even after the screening done by high fees the college still applies economic arguments to those applications that are received in order to justify favoritism to preppies (40 per cent of each class).
