...this campaign, has broadened its scope somewhat, more from a feeling of expediency than of sincerity. Some, certainly not all of its candidates were recruited, instead of coming to seek support. Last spring Shaplin told a Harvard audience that the CCA, to gain a majority on the School Committee or the Council, would have to broaden its electoral base substantially. A conscious effort to achieve this goal can be seen in the CCA's 18 endorsees. Four are blessed with Italian names, two, and possibly a third, are of Irish ancestry, four have Jewish ties, one is a Negro...
...years, these four scholars--Murdock, Mathiessen, Miller, and Jones--strengthened the department and greatly broadened the scope of its offerings. This was done by the continual change in the character of English 170 and 270: one year 170 would become Murdock's novel course; another year it would be Miller's course in American Romanticism; again, it became Matheissen's course in American poetry...

The tacit assumption that these works of art are fully articulate in themselves leaves little to be added except that the exhibition is a magnificent one and that everyone ought...
...abundantly clear that this article would surpass even the handiwork of John Foster Dulles. Published in the CRIMSON, it was to say the least, the height of poor taste. Admittedly, a liberal paper tells both sides of all important issues; however, a wallowing in vulgarities is certainly beyond the scope of a Harvard publication. Ideas worth being heard, it seems, are worthy of decent expression. Moreover, it has been years since such vile language has appeared even in most of the newspapers of the deep South. However, ambivalence neither justifies the vulgarities nor vindicates the author...
While this argument is true to a large extent, it also contains an implicit suggestion for improving both the science concentrator and the scope of the general education program. Development of upper level Nat. Sci. courses has failed to keep pace with that of lower level courses. With the exception of a half course in the history and philosophy of physics, Nat. Sci. 120, they have all been rather uninteresting and have done more to further the use of the word "gut" than any other set of courses...
