In introducing the order, Councillor Barbara W. Ackermann called the Wilson report "a thoughtful review of the problems of our University city."

WHEN the Faculty considers the Wolff Committee Report on Graduate Education this April, there should be little opposition to the report's nine major recommendations. Harvard departments have known for the last five years that graduate student morale is low and that the growing size of the graduate school brings a sense of impersonality to its students.
