Since the mid-1950s, university enrollments have doubled and more: from 380,000 to 880,000 in Latin America, from 739,000 to 1,700,000 in Western Europe, from 2,600,000 to 7,000,000 in the U.S. Among these, the vast majority are not militant and are often repelled by and sometimes moved to protest against the extravagances of the extremists.

At a conference on "Students and Society" at California's Center for the Study of Democratic Institutions last year, the president of the student body of St. Louis' Washington...
Only one more did--Benjamin Larnel, class of 1716. According to President Leverett, Harvard's last Indian student was "An Acute Grammarian." On top of that he was "An Extraordinary Latin Poet, and a good Greek one." But he did not survive the Cambridge winter of his freshman year...
