Francis M. Pipkin, associate dean of the Faculty for the Colleges, said yesterday, "I was surprised at the high number" of class members attending graduate school...
...report "should have an effect on the consideration of the curriculum," Pipkin said. "What I don't really know is how much [task force members] realize these things," he said, adding, "If you asked them, I think they would estimate something more like 50 per cent and not 87 per cent...
...conviction that administrators should be moved around so they don't get stale adds a sense of impermanency to any stage of University Hall's organization--Arthurs, for example, now holds her third title in four years, and even now she is only an acting dean. Francis M. Pipkin, associate dean of the Faculty for the Colleges--Fox's counterpart in the academic sphere--leaves UHall for the Physics Department in June, and Rosovsky says he plans to spend a fair amount of time this fall seeking a replacement for Pipkin and for Peter S. McKinney, now acting dean...
Francis M. Pipkin, associate dean of the Faculty, remembers that July 5, 1965 blast that caused the death of one worker. He recalled last week how he left the building that night at about midnight. Three hours later he was coming back to do more research. He saw the explosion from his car miles away. He says that people were doing experiments in the facility that they shouldn't have been doing. But that wouldn't happen now, Pipkin says, because Harvard takes more precautions...
...Pipkin is now the head of the Committee on Research Policy. That committee last month approved the building of a facility in which scientists want to conduct potentially hazardous genetic research that involves forming new organisms by artificially combining strands of DNA. There are other parallels between the accelerator that Pipkin worked with and the planned facility his committee now favors. Despite the potential hazards of the research--particularly the danger that the bacteria, once transplanted with foreign DNA, could induce disease and death in humans--the scientists want to perform the experiments in the Biological Laboratories, at 16 Divinity...
