...Johnson is a hard taskmaster, and in recent months friends noticed that the pressures seemed to weigh heavily on Jenkins. He grew increasingly nervous, last January was told by his doctor to lighten his load because of dangerously high blood pressure. He ignored the advice, kept working hard for Johnson. And the work always seemed to be piling up. After one lengthy meeting with the President, Jenkins rushed back to his desk, found 43 telephone calls waiting to be answered...

...short, the Doty Committee wants students both to cover a wide range of topics and to pursue special interests in depth at the same time. These contradictory goals cannot be accomplished without increasing the total Gen Ed course load. We strongly agree with the Doty Committee that the total requirements should not be increased. But we believe that the contradiction can be resolved by choosing between the alternatives of depth and breadth...
