...years ago two American Fulbright students started a weekly newspaper which is now the single most impressive extra-curricular activity. The Student Union, composed of representatives from the various university departments, organizes some minor activities in the dormitories, but has no voice in the determination of administrative policies...

When Chamberlain returned from Munich to deliver to cheering Britons his "peace in our time" formula, he no doubt believed he was looking facts in the face.

But another result of the academic and disciplinary pressure is the dropout rate, which is considerably higher than at the other military schools. Two years ago, 93 cadets resigned in a mass protest against certain rules; in 1964, another 90 tried to withdraw for reasons never made public...
