...sailing vessels last week nosed into U.S. harbors, each bearing a cargo of throneless royalty from the same country. In Manhattan the 72-ft. gaff-rigged ketch Saltillo arrived from Nassau, skippered by strapping Don Juan de Bourbon y Battenberg, Count of Barcelona and 44-year-old Pretender to the Spanish crown. In Norfolk, Va. the four-masted training ship Juan Sebastian Elcano put into port with a crew of 72 midshipmen from the Spanish Naval College at Pontevedra, among them the Pretender's handsome son, Prince Juan Carlos, 20.

Harvard's freedom today from the pestilence that still possesses Princeton should in no wise be interpreted as evidence for the stouter moral fiber of her undergraduate body compared to that encamped around Nassau Hall. It was only the House system which redeemed her--and a philosophy of education which viewed the student social structure as a primary concern and area of legitimate jurisdiction for a great university and which sought to rebuild that structure on a principle which was the inverse of selectivity: the principle of distribution within the House, geographical, academic, economic, and intellectual, with diversity of race...
