...personally in a conversation on Dec. 1. The next day Rogers saw his physician for the first checkup he has had in several years. "I'm not able to handle a tough job like that, am I, doctor?" he joked. But in his own mind there was little question about his health. He feels fine, is a frequent golfer and squash player, drinks little and does not smoke. "I'm sorry to say," the doctor said after the examination, "that you're in A-l condition." On Dec. 3, Rogers told Nixon that he would take...
Ultimately, any revisions in Wellesley's educational system will come, as the students in Ethos readily admit, from the administration. Students in both COWI and Ethos question the administration's commitment to reformation of the college. Initiative for change has always come from students and has usually succeeded only under student pressure. Ethos' adoption of a wait-and-see attitude after the October 7 meeting marked the end of militancy on the campus, at least for the foreseeable future. The only pressure compelling the administration to act is the interest in the COWI proposals which have developed among students...
...income distributions differs from the rest of the country. A number called the Gini Index shows how unequally the total goods of the nation are divded up among the total population.

This means that Harvard students are a more economically elite group when compared to the whole nation than...
...most likely to backfire, for there is quite a difference between ordinary pressure, and an actual threat. Two, that Faculty meetings which deal with issues of deep concern to students should be open is a view well worth exploring. But it is not a simple question, and even if it were, to impose the solution by the fait accompli of a sit-in decided by one group of students is not a method acceptable to nay self-respecting Faculty: A rule cannot be changed through its coercive violation. Had the Deans not decided to cancel the meeting, it would have...
...This is not simply that it would be best if Harvard's percentage of each income group exactly matched the nation's. The hidden essenial issue is he purpose and meaning of a private university, and who it should therefore recruit. You know Harvard's present answer to this question. Do you like the answer? Are there better ones? Are they basically correct and yet is there too much preference shown to preppies and alumni sons? I think this last is the right idea. The semi-unintentional result is institutionalized class bias being aided and perpetuated by conscious policies which...
