...sweeping statistical generalizations on Catholic students. Only 23 Catholics, past and present, answered questionnaires; one of the 23 is a convert and the others were born Catholics. Of those, however, who were reared in a Catholic tradition, almost one fourth now declare themselves to be "agnostics" or "atheists." Another six retain formal affiliation with the Church but partially withhold intellectual assent or seem lax in their religious practices, though they have no particular disagreement with Catholic theology...

Charlie Ravenel showed Saturday why he is the best quarterback in the Ivy League. The 160-pound speedster led the varsity to an expected 38-12 victory in an unofficial scrimmage with Williams College Saturday, first outside encounter for the Crimson. From the six-minute mark of the first period, the varsity dominated play and completely outclassed the Williams eleven...

...true "experiments"--for trying something without precedent in previous Harvard experience. Their plans diverge from those of other workshop-leaders in several important particulars. In the first place, the Riesman group is resolved to draw students of varying interests and aptitudes. Their hope is to bring together (in six workshops, with a total capacity of 48 people) "the physicist and the economist, the astronomer and the humanist, the historian and the classicist." In addition to having this interdisciplinary character, the Riesman workshops will differ from the others in seeking out a variety of intelligence-levels. Whereas most of the tutorial...

Riesman will act as a kind of overall supervisor for his part of the Freshman Program. The six individual workshops under his charge will, in their day-to-day activities, be directed by Mrs. Dorothy Lee, Roger Hagan, Kenneth Keniston, Edward L. Pattullo, and Mrs. Susanne Rudolph. Mrs. Lee has outlined one likely project, to which people of all interests could make distinctive contributions. This is a discussion of "field theory," of the relationship (or "transaction") between the student and the material he studies. In the course of such a discussion, the physicist could relate the special problems of work...

...another of increased concern. The "organizational" aspect of Protestantism has suffered greatly under the surge of religious renewal. Students simply have little interest in the "speaker-games-refreshments" routine of many Sunday evening groups, scoring such undertakings as "trivial," "mundane," "unworthy of a religious person's interest." Slightly over six per cent of the Protestants covered by the CRIMSON poll participated regularly in fellowship activities...
