Dean Rosovsky, who knows the ropes, accordingly spent more than a year after he announced he would undertake a massive study of undergraduate education here downplaying that study. He repeatedly denied he was taking on something of the scope of a similar study (known as the Redbook) in the 40s, by the Committee on General Education in a Free Society, that had had huge national reverberations. This, Rosovsky maintained, was just an in-house program, designed to pinpoint specific flaws in Harvard College and then go about solving them. If anything more sublime emerged, fine. If not, also fine...
Perhaps hoping to turn the College's attention away from the harsh memories of the 60s and toward the future, Dean Rosovsky launched a reevaluation of undergraduate education in the spring of 1974, the first major review of undergraduate education at Harvard since the Redbook report...
Your husband may be a homosexual, Redbook tells its 4.5 million women readers, but your marriage can survive if you make an effort. In her "Dear Abby" column, Abigail Van Buren reassures the distraught parents of a lesbian: "Why do you assume that her sexual preference will necessarily 'ruin' her life?" There are gay* studies classes in 50 colleges, gay dances in churches, gay synagogues, gay Alcoholics Anonymous groups, a lesbian credit union, even a gay Nazi Party and a Jewish lesbian group formed to fight it. There are now more than 800 gay groups in the U.S., most...

The announced scope of Rosovsky's undertaking led many to believe that it would eventually call for changes as far-reaching as the Redbook's proposals for the broad, interdisciplinary "General Education" courses, that have been a mainstay of curricula at Harvard and many other colleges throughout the country...
Rosovsky, however, refuses to accept the mantle of the landmark education reformer. "We're not writing a Redbook," he said last week. He said that rather than aiming for a final definitive report, he plans to oversee an ongoing discussion for a year or more that will produce various recommendations. "If five or ten proposals emanate from the study," he said, it will "please me as much as a final report...
