Though he had not been visible in the Nixon entourage for years, all at once he was installed in an office five floors above the G.O.P. Com mittee headquarters.

Radcliffe has apparently accepted at face value President Pusey's insistence on Faculty authority before coed housing is possible. Hence, the back-of-the-mind idea that merger would some day come has given way to a good chance...
