Freshmen continued to lead all contributors, giving some 55 per cent of the total. The Class of 1962 last fall donated 83 per cent. If all pledges are filled, the freshman share will drop to slightly less than half...

The informative section of this article is really quite interesting: one can hardly have missed making the connection between Brodkey's Sentimental Education, Kozol's novel and other similar work, but it is pleasant to see it done in print with some competent...
