...years the Medical School has been one of Harvard's biggest financial worries. Not since 1943--an abnormal wartime year--has the University's school for doctors escaped an operating deficit, and in some cases, both before and after 1943, year-end losses have reached into six figures. What make the whole thing incongruous is the fact that almost every week the papers seem to bear news of some new gift or grant to finance something the School wants...
Without scrapping the rotating schedules, there remain two ways to case the burden on instructors teaching the courses involved. First, University Hall might advance the deadline for grades in those courses which meet toward the end of the exam period. If this would make it too tough for the Administrative Board to examine the grades of students going on or coming off probation, there is another possibility: The inter-term recess might be lengthened.

It would probably make the bias of one group tacit rather that overt. That is all. And the measure would be an-other restriction on the freedom of undergraduate groups. This one abridgement of freedom would imply the Council's right to make any such abridgements, to put restrictions on what an organization can do, or what it can say, or where it can meet. A rule forbidding discrimination, which might be a good rule...
