...aspect of this planning, President Pusey mentions the "individuality" of non-residents, referring to their special place within the House system. For almost thirty years, two proposals have dominated the discussion on how to integrate commuters into the "life of the College." On the one hand, Dean Bender suggests affiliation of all commuters with the residential Houses as a desirable possibility. Worried about the "isolation" of commuting students, Bender objects to their being "sequestered in a place like Dudley on the basis of economics and geography...
...example of the provincialism which so often characterizes Senate conservatives, it is a depressing case of their inability to adapt themselves to the year 1959. American-made equipment for teaching science has long been almost unbelievably expensive.

But this morning he was not molested; he emerged two hours later, notes in hand, and headed for his classroom. For 50 minutes Van Allen lectured to Iowa undergraduates on the theory of transformers, then quipped: "All this is very good in theory, but in practice, you take a piece of iron, wind a wire around it, then plug the wire in. The core gets...
