EDWARD L. PATULLO`S " The Case for a Different Kind of Harvard which appears in the December Harvard Alumni Bulletin is a confused plea for a noble cause rational policy making at Harvard according to a consistent educational philosophy Patullo be director of the Center for Behavioral Sciences maintains that Harvard's most important function is the generation of knowledge followed closely by the training of additional "Scholar-teachers". Undergraduate instruction "complements and supports" these functions, but should be designed and conducted only with Harvard's more important goal in mind "the goal of maintaining a maximally productive group...

It went back to last winter, when Patullo and the Premiers of the other eight Provinces journeyed to Ottawa at the invitation of Prime Minister William Lyon Mackenzie King. The Prime Minister wanted the Premiers to agree to a more rational economic setup for the Dominion, to reconstruct and centralize tax powers. Because his free-spending administration did not want to give up a smidgen of tax power, Premier Patullo attacked the plan. With the aid of Ontario's windy Mitch Hepburn and Alberta's William ("Bible Bill") Aberhart...
