...known and most articulate professors. Paul Buck, who was Dean of the Faculty under President Conant, is writing an introduction on the history of exams at Harvard. Franklin Ford, the present Dean, will also be a contributor, along with Stanley Hoffmann, Gerald Holton, George Goethals, Mrs. Bunting, David Reisman, Sanford Lakoff, Sam Beer, Oscar Handlin, John Monro, and others. The finished essays should be before the CEP by Christmas and will be reviewed by the full Faculty sometime during the spring...

Adolescence is by definition a struggle to create a self. Sometimes an intelligent retreat is the best way to win. Says Stanford Psychologist Nevitt Sanford: "Leaving college may leave a student with a sense of unfinished business that will, in some cases, provide motivation for learning for the rest of his life...
