...subcontinent as a newcomer to the region, Malkin found "the cumulative effect of an aroused citizenry one of the most moving experiences of my life." At the end of his first two months, he sent a cable to our editors in New York saying that Prime Minister Gandhi might lose. With India again free from repression, Malkin looks forward to his new assignment with enthusiasm: "Watching another country, especially one as unpredictably human as India, emerge into a new era promises to be full of surprises...

Certainly the belief that Harvard should work to provide society with leaders colors Bok's discussion of the state of education here. In the professional schools, he argues, the faculties must beware that they do not become "so preoccupied with the immediate needs of their professions that they lose the perspective needed to appreciate the larger issues that society is pressing upon the profession." In the research-oriented professional schools--Divinity, Education, Design and Public Health--he emphasizes the need for more practical training alongside the research, to give graduates definite, marketable skills; and the Graduate School of Arts...
