...addition to Engine and Ladder Companies No. 1, the Central Fire House accomodates a Rescue Company. This performs many important jobs including trying to save suicides. Lt. Paul Touchette, head of the Rescue Squad, says his squad has never been able to save a Harvard suicide. "At least its nice to be able to say," said Touchette, a member of the Harvard Band and an avid Harvard booster, "That Harvard men do a professional job, and never botch...
Through their general education programs, scores of U.S. colleges have tried to save their students from overspecialization. But to Dean William Steere of Stanford University's graduate division, the problem still remains for students who go on to graduate school and "hole into their departments wholeheartedly.''

Although faced with a second required course in addition to the traditional Economics 1, the honors candidate will have a greater range of choice than heretofore in selecting his other three courses in the field. He will no longer be subject to any restrictions in this respect, save the sobering advice of his tutor. This new freedom of choice will not, however, apply to non-honors students, for whom the old requirements will in every case remain substantially unchanged...
