...intellectually mature, but emotionally and socially they are still completing one of the most important developmental stages of their life. At this time, they are most in need of personal or institutional guidance. Since Radcliffe has been unable to integrate adequate guidance into the life of its students (this mater seemed to be of great concern to President Bunting last spring), the least the college can do is to maintain a set of rules to guide its students from the chaos of late adolescence to the more ordered world of young womanhood, hopefully to be achieved in the junior...
...crazy title credits worthy of Saul Bass, a flower-watering take-off on the silent cinema, and even a cross-eyed Mona Lisa. Approoutset with a Weillanously blasphemous parody of priate background music has been concocted by Robert Prince, who strikes the right note at the Rossini's Stabat Mater (which is, indeed, blasphemous even in the original), and later summons up remembrances or Mendelssohn's Spring Song and the concluding fanfare of Paramount newsreels...
...poems, "A Mirror for Poets," Mr. Gunn described that age, so obviously like our own as to make the comparison banal, as a "violent time" which demanded its right to be taken seriously by whispering to the writer, "For feel my fingers in your pia mater.

Strong in classics and "PPE" (philosophy, politics, economics), Oxford has dominated Whitehall and Westminster. But now England has a surfeit of politicians and debaters. It needs more scientists and engineers, and so it needs Cambridge...
...Tutting the Pope. The magazine's brief life has been punctuated by thunderclaps of dissent. Recently, Buckley, who is a Roman Catholic, challenged the papal encyclical Mater et Magistra. This letter from Pope John XXIII to his bishops advocated a measure of "socialization," i.e., government planning and welfare programs, and urged bishops to accommodate to the trend. The Review promptly took the Vatican to task, describing the encyclical as "a venture in triviality...
