Because many of its houses possess that same unwelcome characteristic of its classroom buildings--old age--Harvard limits disabled students in their housing choices. Drafts, who lives in a dormitory at the Middlesex County Hospital in Waltham, had no choice at all. The chairman of transfer students' admissions rejected his request for an on-campus room because Harvard did not have adequate facilities and because he lived nearby anyway. Drafts feels the decision was probably best for him but adds, "I have a sneaky feeling, though, not living here makes me miss a lot." He proposes that Harvard either establish...

Every cut of the chisel seems to possess the final, unlabored Tightness of a brush stroke by a master of sumi-e (ink painting). There is probably not a sculpture on view in America this week that gives a clearer impression of the mystery of great portraiture: how realism, a recognizable type and shape, can be conveyed through complete...
