...over Lamont Library, students scribble their frustrations onto desktops, walls and anything else that doesn't move...
...talk to us, who are sparkling and different and bright. (The B's go to Radcliffe girls who memorize the text and quote it verbatim, in perfectly hooped letters with circles over the i's.) Not, I remind you, necessarily to people who have locked themselves in Lamont for a week and seminared and outlined and underlined and typed their notes and argued out all of Leibniz's fallacies with their mothers. They often get A's too, but as Mr. Carswell points out, this takes too long. There are other ways...

Then, by Dauber's logic, we should have expected Harvard to indeed "bow out gracefully" around the 1960s, as diversity began to prove itself increasingly important in education...
