...Royal Family, the brilliant Broadway production of George S. Kaufmann--Edna Ferber play about a flamboyant theater family strangely reminiscent of the Barrymore clan, is playing at the Wilbur Theater, 252 Tremont St., Boston. Performances are Monday through Saturday...
...some of the young career men and women, Rosovsky's expanding bureaucracy has provided a battleground for a particular type of heroism. The case of Robert E. Kaufmann '62, assistant dean of the Faculty for finance, is a good example. A record-holding varsity swimmer in his College years, Kaufmann has worked only for Harvard since two years after leaving the Business School in 1964. He has seen tours of duty as director of admissions and senior tutor of Leverett House--among other posts. Since Rosovsky's appointment as dean in 1973, Kaufmann has been charged with whittling the Faculty...
...erasure of the deficit one of his two prime goals in office early on--the other was the reform of undergraduate education--and for his role in persuading departments to cut administrative and fringe costs, stop adding to faculty and even abstain from filling positions, and cutting energy bills, Kaufmann has been well rewarded.

Epps III, dean of Students, and Alberta Arthurs, dean of undergraduate affairs...
...changes that have come about or are now being planned by Rosovsky--like the budget cuts and a new emphasis on teaching--are the products of persuasion, not top-down commands. Kaufmann says that "a senior faculty can ruin a dean of the Faculty," and other administrators agree that their role is advice and service and possibly even leadership but certainly not conflict. The faculty and its administrators seem to have an unspoken agreement which is, on the faculty's side: "Do what is necessary to change us in accord with external imperatives, but keep our basic power and structure...
