...careful reading of the rules makes one uneasy about the kind of power the University asserts against its students. The right to petition, to distribute literature, to hold outdoor meetings can all be regulated at the discretion of the Deans. Dan Steiner, gerneral counsel to the University, said last week that the University has plenty of power to enforce these to the hilt. While the campus is quiet, these rules cause little friction, but during a major political confrontation, they could easily be used to discipline students and restrict protest...
...reported to Harvard's director of personnel, who, in turn, was (and still is) answerable to the vice president for administration. As a director, however, Powers is on the same level as John B. Butler, the personnel chief, and reports directly to the University's general counsel, Daniel Steiner '54.

He's the key cog, but much more of a manager than a player...
...American materialism and the demise of the poetic imagination, the aridity of modern art (Picasso's huge Chicago sculpture is "only the idea of a work of art"), notions about modern boredom as a profound spiritual problem, and ruminations on death and immortality, with special emphasis on Rudolf Steiner's Anthroposophy, .the study of the divine spirit through scientific inquiry...
