...current year, 1970-71. As far as revenue is concerned, full-time tuition was increased $200 bringing the level for the current year to $2600. For the first time the President and Fellows approved the current expenditures of all of the Harvard College Fund, after the expenses of reunion classes, rather than putting $500,000 or $700,000 into endowment as has been done in recent years from this vital annual giving from alumni...
Writing in his 25th reunion classbook last year, Cross said "A college today stands uneasily between the turbulence we now take for granted in adolescence and the disarray of contemporary society. It's unreasonable to expect that most students will experience four 'bright college years.' ...

...fleeting hour last week, it seemed more like a reunion and a radical talkfest than a murder trial.

The setting is a courtyard in Siena, Italy, in 1946. The occasion is the reunion of four men back from the war-a refugee from a concentration camp, a doctor who was a partisan guerrilla, a would-be politician who joined the fascists, and a black marketeer who made a fortune by profiteering. While Siena's annual Polio, an ancient horseracing festival, erupts...
