...world is structured in some relationship to the electrical connections in our heads. And even more, we are taught that these electrical connections can have some average, which we will call the Truth, which can be discovered. I do not think that God structured the universe like man's mind. I am amazed that He would even structure man's mind...
...terrorism, however, lies in the advantages. The most important one, certainly, is the re-establishment of transcendence. Bourgeois values are inherently material. That is why, for example, we have come to laugh at religion. Religion seems to fulfill no role in the market-place or its mirror in the mind, the arena of rational discourse. Religious ritual can be important only to those who need to have abstract, transcendent belief acted out on a concrete level. For those without the need religion is without purpose. I am Jewish, but I can not watch the Communion or the Elevation without feeling...
...would be the Committee on Graduate Education. As we visualize its functions, it would primarily concern itself with such aspects of graduate education as are general to the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences and do not fall under the specific jurisdictions of the departments. We have particularly in mind problems and policies with respect to financial aid, scholarships and fellowships, assistantships, teaching fellowships, proctorships, graders, post-doctoral fellowships, placement procedures, graduate housing, graduate social activities, and discipline. We also suggest that this committee be charged with the improvement of departmental student-faculty communication at the graduate level...

We also tend to the view that in this area as much discretion as possible should be left to the membership of the individual Houses, though it should be kept in mind that the House communities include senior as well as junior common rooms, and that both have responsibilities, as well as rights, that may need to be reconciled...
...carrying out our investigations, we were struck by the contrast between the relative profusion of departmental consultative provisions at the graduate level and the dearth of formal arrangements for consultation with undergraduates. It should be borne in mind, however, that a substantial amount of informal communication does take place between undergraduates and the teaching staff. Tutors and teaching fellows often are in close touch with undergraduates and contribute to a departmental awareness of student grievances and needs. From time to time, undergraduate groups have not hesitated to voice their criticism of courses, teaching, and departmental requirements. In recent years...
