Any program providing for a marked expansion of one would probably also permit a parallel expansion in the other. But Dean Elder and many others would oppose any increase in graduate enrollment that would break sharply the present proportion of size between the GSAS and Harvard College. If the College is able to expand 15 to 20 per cent, the graduate school could probably grow a similar amount, but no more...
...military hardware but for aid to create a sound logistic base (e.g., supply lines) and to enable allies to maintain forces they could not otherwise afford. In South Korea, for example, the U.S. now contributes $600 a year to help maintain a South Korean soldier on the 38th parallel in the common interest; to support an American soldier there would cost the U.S. $6,000 a year...

All have been perfectly willing to spend hours each night wrestling with such assignments as: "Draw up six different parallel circuits, showing voltage at each point, voltage dropped at each point, the current flowing at each point, and the total current flowing in each circuit plus the total resistance...
