...SEEMED, until now, the better part to make no public response either to the report on PBH of the Committee on Students and Community Relations or on the unpublished remarks of several of its members. However, Mr. Bryce has decided to offer the "completely open and frank statement" of the subcommittee report and his commentary. Since I accept the good faith of the members of Mr. Bryce's subcommittee I can only question their competence to evaluate PBH. The report and Mr. Bryce's comments contain serious inaccuracies and almost complete misunderstanding of our finances, and an argument that moves...

...open and frank" to, in Mr. Bryce's words, "refrain from publicizing many internal difficulties and contradictions that we stumbled upon," particularly in regard to money? No member of PBH was ever presented with these difficulties. The subcommittee report also suggests that PBH misused the original Faculty of Arts and Sciences subsidy for central administrative costs instead of for consultants.

I do not understand how the charge can be made, given the membership of the PBH Faculty Committee. But the most irrefutable response is to point out that the PBH Faculty Committee meets monthly with the executive officers of PBH; that, in addition, at least nine of the members consult quite regularly with individual programs, committee chairmen, the officers, and the graduate secretary. I know of few other...

...most serious criticism I have of the subcommittee of the CSCR is the role it allowed itself to play. Several times we attempted to show them that, despite their protestations of sympathy and support, they could not be suitable advocates for PBH before the full Committee. All of us who appeared before them were disturbed by their insistence on examining, down to the telephone bills, the minutiae of PBH's finances and their consequent inability to understand and to discuss the larger issues we wished to raise. Mr. Bryce's comments, as well as the subcommittee report, make amply clear...
