But the merits of the particular dispute are wholly irrelevant to the principle involved, which is that this sort of vigorous debate of controversial questions is something the University should be encouraging, both as the basic right of students as well as faculty, and as one of the things that makes Harvard so exciting a place...
Lake Taal is a pleasant all-day-picnic's drive from Manila. Taal's waters are clear and blue, and in its center rises a 984-ft.-high island, which has its own interior lake, Lake Bonbon.

The structural separateness is built into university rules, which limit the permission to grant the Ph.D., to the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences alone; the professional Schools, in particular, must develop their own degrees. This separateness is therefore beyond the control of the Graduate School of Education and must be accepted in practice as given.... (This structural division has, in our view, little to recommend it, and we favor continued exploration of the possibilities for alternative arrangements...
