...distressed to note that several of our colleagues at the College can find no better way to express their disagreement with the views of Kenan Professor of Government Harvey C. Mansfield '53 on affirmative action than to hold disruptive and hollow protests ("Students Gather to Protest Views of Mansfield," News, April 26, 1996).

Normally when those spavined cliches "treasure," "splendor" or "masterpiece" occur in the name of an exhibition, doubt rises: Methinks the museum doth protest too much. Not this time. In terms of sheer quality, this show can claim to be the greatest conspectus of Chinese art ever held in America...
