...outset of this address, we must apologize for our delay in replying to Mr. Savit's article concerning Life at Dartmouth. The problem was this; some of Mr. Savit's words were so BIG, that we spent an eternity looking for someone who knew what they meant. We at Dartmouth's main campus in Hanover, N.H.

Janet concedes that studying in this atmosphere is a bit distracting, but "I can do it and I want to, anyway." If she didn't seize the opportunity to be with her boyfriend at these late hours, she says, she would never see him. Between the hours of 9 in the morning and dinner, Donald busies himself with...
