...primary concern of the subcommittee was to produce a money-saving recommendation for the Dean, not to make the best possible case for PBH...
They persisted in examining PBH in isolation from other academic and extra-curricular activities that possess in Mr. Bryce's horrified term the "carte blanche of permanent subsidy." Throughout their proceedings we were treated as pensioners to the University obligated to justify, at each step, that we have a legitimate place here.

The Harvard Dramatic Club also has permanent budgetary status, again in the form of physical plant, professional personnel, and support for production costs. If given the chance, we will again ask for permanent...
