Lack of interest in attracting local studen can in part be traced to the Administration's apparent opinion that commuters are "second-class citizens," deprived of the educational benefits of dorm life. Certainly this was true when President Pusey took office in 1953. A study made by the Office of Tests reveals that '52 commuters felt a real isolation from the resident...
