...Foianini engineered expropriation of the Standard Oil Co. of Bolivia's $17,000,000 Bolivian fields. Ranking 28th in the world's 28 major oil-producing countries, Bolivia last year produced only 106,620 barrels (U. S. production: 1,213,254,000).

They are making a mockery of a Harvard education, a lie of a Harvard diploma...
...from University Hall, there will be a general retreat from certain of Harvard's outstanding liberal practices. There will be reduction of the cuts allowable to each student, more careful records of attendance, pushes on all fronts against the disciplinary freedom which undergraduates enjoy here. The reasons for this lie in the vague belief that tutoring is the result of too much freedom. And on the basis of this vague belief, students are to be rudely stripped of their privileges...
