Student bureaucracy is dull, alas, but in your article of February 28 on the Radcliffe House System you have made it even duller. In fact, if not in the CRIMSON, East House has done more than "schedule several events." We have instituted lunch hours (from 12:30-1:45 in Eliot and Whitman); we have held a series of Sunday teas with members of the Administration, the Faculty and the Radcliffe Institute; we have had two and plan three more House Dinners with Faculty, undergraduate and graduate students interested (though not necessarily specializing) in a particular field, such as music...
Every morning at Cambridge University, 3,401 budding scientists peer into electron microscopes or ponder the dynamics of rocket propulsion in air-conditioned labs that gleam with ultramodern glass and aluminum. Then, with medieval black gowns flapping, they ride off on rusty bicycles to another world: lunch with 3,751 arts undergraduates (never "students") fresh from reading Sophocles and Shakespeare in a library built by Christopher Wren.

As it turned out, it was Charles de Gaulle who trimmed his sail a bit by agreeing to withdraw France's latest draft. In return, Adenauer promised not to push too swiftly the idea of a European political superstructure, with an executive to tell governments what to do and a secretary-general and bureaucracy to decide...
