Plans for the Dental School's future include: doubling the size of the entering class, admitting more black students, completing the changeover to the new pre-doctoral program, expanding post-doctoral training in clinical specialties, and expanding the new program of continuing education...
...Gray Area. President Nixon moved to counter such criticism, sending one of his top advisers to brief the press. There had been, said the adviser in a background session, no significant (meaning not more than 10%) increase in battalion-size operations. Continuing high U.S. casualty totals in Viet Nam were the result, rather, of continued Communist offensives. Though admitting that figures on U.S. military operations in Viet Nam have always been of an "illusionary nature," he nonetheless cited some. In a typical week, when 35 to 40 enemy attacks are launched, some 150 to 200 Americans are likely...
True enough, say the military, the number of battalion-and brigade-size sweeps against the enemy has not increased since the peace talks started. But they insist with pride that overall pressure on the Communists has increased-in the form of many more smaller-scale actions.

What are the funds that cover each budget, whatever its size? The total market value of Harvard's general investments on June 30, 1967 was about $1,038,000,000. The "book value" was about two-thirds that amount. Each year the Corporation votes to distribute to each of the funds participating in the general investments account (which means mostly the endowment funds) income from this account at a fixed rate of the book value of each fund. In 1966-67 this rate was 5.2 per cent and thus $34,000,000 was distributed, of which $30.5 million went...
