...bypass the formal agencies and deal with a doctor who delivers an illegitimate child. The costs run from $1,000 to $2,000; the adoptive parents usually pay the mother's hospital bills, plus a lawyer's fees for drawing up legal adoption papers. "Independent placement" is not illegal in most states as long as no baby broker receives a profit for arranging the deal, but it can produce painful complications. If, as often happens, the natural mother knows who the new parents are, she can subsequently turn up and try to reclaim her child...
This impressive ideal was implemented in a program of year-long integrated courses, which could be passed by a comprehensive examination or passed out of in initial placement tests. Members of the College faculty devoted themselves to the preparation of the syllabi for these unique courses. Hutchins planned for an emphasis on method rather than content so that the student would develop, with the professor, a technique of critical analysis rather than a list of memorized facts. A Humanities course would not attempt to familiarize students with a wide historical range of "the greats" of literature or art. Instead...

Thus, when Tom or Jerry gets flattened by a train steaming out of a direction we never knew existed, our laughter is more complicated than that we give a clown's pratfall...

As usual, the corporate demand will be greatest for accountants and engineers, and students with master's degrees will do even better than B.A.s...
...recent dispute over alleged discriminatory law firm hiring practices reveals another aspect of the Law School's "wait and see" attitude. The director of the placement office at the Law School has said that nothing can be done to erase patterns of prejudice. Students who found such a response unsatisfactory are seeking to require law firms to sign a statement pledging compliance to the Massachusetts law prohibiting discriminatory hiring practices. The problem of discrimination cuts deeper than local law. It may well involve factors within the profession that the Law School doesn't wish to take on. Clearly, Harvard...
