Everyone knows something about Piet Mondrian; barely a detail of his life has escaped the attention of aspiring Ph.D.s, from the fantastic fox-trot routines that earned him the nickname the "dancing madonna," to the exact spot where an artificial tulip stood in his Paris studio (painted white, leaves and all, so as not to offend his eye with the detestable color green). Like Kandinsky, the other fa ther figure of abstract painting, he was a Theosophist: a man given to dreams of the millennium, when material reality would wither away and leave an ideal domain of the pure spirit...
...statement in yesterday's Crimson that the Dean of the College, John Fox, had intentionally formed the Dowling Committee with no minority members is not entirely true. Dean Fox agreed to the exact structure of a recommendation from the Student Assembly, Consistent with this recommendation, Dean Fox appointed one member to the Committee--Dean of Students Archie Epps.

...Foundation was budgeted last year at "less than $10,000," Counter says, an amount Fox says he "more or less grabbed out of the air last spring. Although $10,000 is not a large budget by most Harvard standards, Martha Coburn, assistant dean for financial affairs, said. "What we did was give him a small, moderate start-up budget--the intention was not to restrict his activities." Coburn and Fox say that Counter is free to ask for more funds on a "program-by-program basis," which in academic financing implies less independence than if a program is just budgeted...
