...contrast, the music that is coming out of the Beatles these days has none of these explicit qualities: their latest songs are casually, almost sloppily, put together, composed of elements that are determinedly unadventurous and unpretentious to the point of seeming derivative. So why do we nevertheless like the Beatles so extravagantly? It is worth, I think, the effort to try and understand the abstract roots of the Beatles' superiority, a superiority that is evident from beginning to end of Abbey Road...
...disability of being largely ad hoc, and they ordinarily represent the result of student rather than faculty initiative. We believe that there is a strong case to be made for the exercise of greater departmental initiative in establishing regularized machinery for consulting with undergraduate concentrators. From the student point of view, such arrangements have the advantage of providing a recognized channel through which grievances can be ventilated, criticisms expressed, and proposals for change discussed with the Faculty. From the departmental point of view, the existence of such machinery may not only serve as a stimulus to curricular improvements but also...

Their precise form may vary. Some departments may prefer a joint...
...explicit mandate of addressing itself to problems, choices, and priorities in Faculty development. We do this because we think that there is a very real danger that the very important function of long-range planning may be completely eclipsed by the press of current Council business. At a later point in this report. we also suggest the establishment of a series of joint student-faculty committees in which members of-the Faculty Council would be represented. We shall discuss these committees and their relations to the Faculty Council in much greater detail when we examine the student role...
