...elders find more interesting subjects in this multiuniversity than us, they still have an opportunity to improve matters without much effort. following Mr. Brumm's hint I would suggest a rewriting of the fascinating pamphlet, Information About Harvard College for Prospective Students. One could omit the sections dealing with a Liberal Education in a University College; strike out such passages as, "This is individual and therefore expensive instruction. It cost is justified by the special educational values which accrue from it in a college which is strongly opposed to mass-production methods of education" (p. 24). One might more fully...

At a victory celebration in a Rome pensione that night, one Curia official gleefully said: "This time we shall break their monopoly."

Publisher: an outfit calling itself "Spies for Peace...
...problem is that there seems to be no clear-cut limit to the types of activities that are thought suitable for the University to perform. Another is the implication that the University must justify its maintenance to the taxpayers by the materials benefits which they receive from it. A pamphlet from the University's Office of Public Information points out that "traceable returns from research alone repay every year to the people of Illinois more than the cost of building and operating the University since it opened...
