...mention the Freshman dormitories in and near the Yard. The Houses are not merely buildings for eating and sleeping, they function as centers of social and intellectual activity, as communities in which a student holds membership. For the 3,000 graduate students of today there is nothing whatever to perform these functions unless we count that owl's share of Harkness that is wrested away from the panthers of the Law School. Nor do the apartments for married graduate students in Peabody Terrace, agreeable hough they are, fill...
...believe that the Graduate School badly needs facilities which will enable and encourage its students to congregate. To be specific, Harvard should provide a Graduate Center. Though the Houses do perform this function for undergraduates and for the Teaching Fellows lucky enough to be attached to them, the rest of the graduate student population remains not only outside the pale but keenly aware of the contrast between the amenities provided for others and the social isolation that they recognize as their...

In Birmingham, England's second-largest city (pop. 1,200,000), Professor Hugh McLaren, a strong-willed Scottish Presbyterian, simply refuses to perform abortions except in case of "dire peril" to the woman's life. Since he is head of the NHS's Maternity Hospital there, he can decree what subordinates may or may not do-and they may not perform abortions. The effect of the McLaren ukase is to send most Birmingham...
