...kept away from places of entertainment by his color and his clothes; he wouldn't know how to act, and he doesn't have the money anyway. Carnaval is the only time of the year when the doorman or the janitor who has worked for the rich man all year long can dress up in the rich man's clothing and feel that the two of them have something in common...

But Harvard is no longer a haven for the dilletante sons of the idle rich (our dilletantes are middle class). Most of us are fairly highly motivated. It would do no real harm to permit a student to take one or two make-up exams per term simply because he wanted to, offering no more elaborate excuse than that he was not prepared for the exam...
