...that the school might consider coeducation if it had $50 million to spare. On the other hand, Yale's graduate schools enroll 800 women. Harvard has long since gone coed and likes it. "Women are people, and they're here to stay," says Harvard College Dean John Monro. Harvard began admitting Radcliffe girls to its classes during World War II, eventually abolished separate courses. Since coeducation came gradually, it did not require any major policy changes. Coeducation, says Monro, "proved to be a pleasant, civilized way to do things. My message to Yale and Princeton, when they...
...these estimates of costs and profits are at present speculative. To end speculation, the HSA ought to open its books to the public. Dean Monro has asserted that the HSA, being a legal corporation, need not disclose its financial arrangements. But surely the HSA is more than a corporation; it is a non-profit monopoly, supposedly operating in the best interests of the Harvard community. Just as a state government can view the books of a public works corporation, the Harvard student body and Faculty should have free access to HSA accounts and contracts. This applies particularly...
...plans of re-organization emerged. One, the official Phillips-Council plan, recommended retaining the Council, but enlarging its membership to include the presidents of all undergraduate organizations and five members of each of the three upper classes. The other, recommended by Dunster House and endorsed by Dean Monro, advocated abolition of the Council and a reformation under the name of Student Affairs Committee.

Meanwhile, Phillips was not through with personal controversy. A few days later, he was quoted by the CRIMSON as charging Dean Monro with "partisanship" in supporting the Dunster reorganization plan. Another Phillips backer called Monro's attitude "highly unethical for a member of the Administration." Although Phillips later denied having made the statement, it did not help his already low stock...
...proposed Harvard Policy Committee (HPC) would be composed of eleven undergraduates, one appointed by each House Master and two appointed by the Freshman Council. Since Dean Monro and three Faculty members would meet weekly with the committees, the HPC offers a real possibility of intelligent student participation in the evaluation of educational policy. The HPC ought to hold open meetings, and ideally they would evolve into forums at which concerned undergraduates and faculty members could exchange ideas freely. But in any case, this arrangement offers more hope for an effective dialogue than the present Council which meets in splendid isolation...
