...timing of his entry into the race was proof to many that Kennedy had been slyly scheming all along, waiting for someone else to do his dirty work. His argument that an earlier challenge would have been interpreted as merely anti-L.B.J. animus did not save him from being colored ruthless and opportunistic once again. Even Arthur Schlesinger Jr. felt obliged to write a defensive article conceding that Kennedys "always do these things badly...
...though the Committee demonstrates the myth of Harvard's uniqueness and says "there's no turning the clock back," it implies that only the intangible aura of the community can save the University's standards of excellent. The chapter on The Harvard Community concludes with the vague but pregnant advice: "It is appropriate to ask whether it lies within its power to make Cambridge a more attractive setting for life as well as for work. . . .

The plan to save the college, which has the endorsement of the college's dean, involves affiliating with Newton's Mount Ida Junior College. The chief stumbling block...
Obviously the students want to save the college since, as one of them put it, "a degree from a place that closed up isn't worth much." Coolidge's Dean Goodnow has other reasons for wanting to keep the college going. "Affiliation with Mt. Ida," he says, "would give us some of the facilities we need in order to begin thinking about accreditation." Goodnow, who became dean in 1965, also believes the school is becoming somewhat better. "In light of our actual standing in the academic community--which is almost no standing at all--we're getting people into graduate...
