They had a lot to discuss. Rosovsky, in his letter, set as his objective nothing less than "an effort to reinterpret (and make more explicit) for our own time the broad educational principles that have guided us in the past." Citing the increased size and specialization of the Faculty as well as the changing needs of a more diverse student body. Rosovsky wrote of the need for a "renewed vitality and distinction in the intellectual atmosphere of the College...

Harnett's action is certainly disfunctional to those trying to create an atmosphere of genuine student-Faculty-administration cooperation and consultation. Harnett did not ask the Faculty to debate his reinterpretation. And obviously, Harnett did not take upper-class Advanced Standing students into consideration, many of whom agreed to sign the Advanced Standing contract two or more years ago, with a very different idea of what was expected of them...
