...Harvard is too sensible, too enlightened to react like that. But yesterday I discovered that the spirit of Josiah Quincy is not dead by any means. Even a history-conscious institution like Harvard, with so much history to learn from, ends up behaving as vindictively as the most callow, raw land-grant college in the country...
About March, CRIMSON readers puzzled over classified ads blaring: "Wanted: 100 pounds of raw meat and a cage. Contact: Jubilee Committee." This, of course, was a prelude to the surprise announcement that The Animals had been hired to perform for the freshmen. What is particularly amazing is that this group was chosen before it had reached the apex of its stardom and therefore before it became financially unfeasible. Saturday night, Jubilarians enjoyed a floating party, complete with band and liquid mixer, aboard a huge pleasure cruiser. Few participants remembers, or care, that for a full hour the boat never left...
...India. One reason for conducting an experiment there was that Indian commerce, still locked in the patterns and the fatalism of the past, urgently needs entrepreneurs.

I charged on to the next one, which allowed for the incorporation of empty space, i.e., the doorway leading...
...intellectual capital which was accumulated in the famous 15 weeks of the spring of 1947 when the policy of containment, the Truman Doctrine and the Marshall Plan, fashioned a new American foreign policy, and that this capital has now been nearly exhausted." Not only does the use of raw military power have distinct limitations, but another paradox of the atomic age is that the possessor of overwhelming strength is often no stronger for it in dealing with other nations. Russia tolerates abuse from Rumania, Albania and China, and independence on the part of Yugoslavia. The U.S. has learned to live...
