...women who do appear are simple farm laborers gathering up a potato crop.

They are harrowing illustrations from Edwin Markham's The Man with the Hoe: "Time's tragedy is in that aching stoop...

They had done their homework: Two years of planning and a year-long survey on stress of more than 3000 college students preceded the conference. The College Task Force, an ad hoe committee of 11 New England college deans sponsored by the Boston-Area Medical Foundation, has met monthly since the fall of 1979 to discuss how best to understand and respond to alcohol and drug abuse, and with this conference is moving to wrestle with questions of stress in general...
