...best we can. Fortunately, difficulties of the unsettling kind now being experienced on many college campuses have remained relatively minor here. I should like to think this is an indication of the exceptional good sense of Harvard men and women. But who can tell? Nevertheless, looking back on the past months, I can affirm in making another report, as my predecessors have done many times before, despite an increase in anxiety and unease, through another year the multiform basic work of the University went strongly ahead. Also, as is characteristic of any lively institution, questioning and re-examination of objectives...
STILL ANOTHER noteworthy development of the past year was a dramatically increased effort in all parts of the University to make it easier for students from various disadvantaged groups, especially disadvantaged black students, to attend this institution. This was not a wholly new development. The College has been working with mounting vigor for more than a decade to find and admit more students of promise from urban and rural wastelands. The Law School, the Divinity School, and (in cooperation with Yale and Columbia) the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences, and also the Business School, have in recent years conducted...

But if the flaws pointed out by the provincial critics are major, fixing a show on the road becomes a hectic, often panicky, race against time...
...Dear World seemed to be past the point of no return. The doubtful new act cost in the neighborhood of $200,000 to put in (on top of the original outlay of $600,000), and the second act had not yet been touched. The show was scheduled to open in New York on Dec. 26, or about two weeks after the Boston closing...
