...Logic. Unlike many campus radicals, Magaziner is a first-generation collegian, the grandson of Russian immigrants and the son of an office manager in a tomato-processing plant. He had no sooner arrived at Brown from Lawrence (N.Y.) High School than he began shaking up the university. As a freshman, he persuaded the university administration to abolish the unpopular food-contract system, which forced his classmates to pay an annual rate covering all meals. As a sophomore, he organized a seminar to study curriculum reform. It was so successful that he was paid $800 from the dean's special...
...considered a strong crew in England, can't match the caliber of Eastern college competition which the Crimson defeated so easily this year. American crews have traditionally cleaned up English eights during Henley's earl rounds, and it is quite probable that the other two American entries, the Penn freshman heavies and M.I.T. varsity lights, would have 'rounced the Argonauts by well over a length...
...Memorial Hall. I was bout a third of the way down the line.

We weren't too successful, if the truth be known, finding most of my classmates had their minds on P.T. credits and Gen Ed Ahf and the girl next door in Nat Sci 5 lab. Harvard seemed to be a pretty shrewd head, always bending just enough this...
...prodigy, Tom is a prodigious toiler who started taking college courses while still at Shawnee High School in Springfield, Ohio, trained himself to read 750 words a minute, and arrived at Wittenberg last fall having already earned 15½ of the 36 credits needed for graduation. During his combined freshman-senior year, Tom earned twelve more credit hours by taking exams in courses that he did not even attend, finished the remaining 8½ credits by the old-fashioned method of going to classes. Last week he graduated summa cum laude from Wittenberg with a straight-A average. "This...
