...hand, he learned at Berkeley that "a great big, impersonal university just doesn't make it;" on the other hand, people just can't be thrown together in the Houses, placed under charge of administrators and told to interact--that would be "cheap social engineering." The solution is to recruit Masters who are committed to the intellectual goals of the university and to the social goals of the Houses. Heimert no doubt sees himself as this kind of compound figure. But his whole disposition make him skittish about organizing other people's lives. "I don't plan...
When we compare the urban environment of Harvard with that of certain other large universities, we find cause neither for smugness nor despair. The precincts of the university, both in Boston and Cambridge, touch on the neighborhoods of the poor, both black and white. The Personnel Office seeks to recruit employees from a labor force that contains many persons who, owing to inadequate education, lack of skills, or a steady exposure to the barriers of racial discrimination, are chronically unemployed or underemployed.

Modern society has produced all sorts of middleman and service jobs-public relations men, travel agents, pollsters and political-campaign experts, to cite a few. At another level federally financed antipoverty work has become a bona fide career for many...
...virtuosos, though, whom business and law firms are most eager to recruit. They go to unprecedented lengths to court prospects, flying them to the home office, spelling out working conditions in alluring detail. Even if they are due to be drafted or are members of ROTC with a two-year service commitment, they are offered jobs. Sought-after students are in the habit of saying not "I was interviewed" but "I interviewed"-and indeed they did. They can command salaries of $10,000 in the big corporations, $15,000 with Wall Street law firms...
