We also need to focus more attention...
...university with both stature and tradition, these changes have not passed by without notice, and a situation not dissimilar to the one described by the members of the classes of 1939, 1940 and 1941 is emerging. I would like to offer some ideas abut the impact these rapid developments have had on Harvard and its students and what possibilities exist to cope with these challenges in a beneficial...
