...birth of a new and vital era in its history. Most of the contributions were written by undergraduates (which has not usually been true in the past), and most face the problems of writers and writing in the age of Song My and Woodstock. But after reading it I still wished that some enterprising young. Whitman would unceremoniously burn down the venerable Advocate Building. Though the past that haunts that building is beautiful and moving, and perhaps more so than anything to come, it is over. Its present inhabitants should leave that legacy to the scholars whose critical voyeurism will...
...insistent and honest cultivation of a subversive consciousness is perhaps the only design for escape left us. As John Lewis wrote on his tribute to Aiken, "Perception, erroneous though it may be, is still an act which reaches objects beyond itself." The reaching beyond is a subtle dialectic between the self and the external world through which both remake each other.

Universities-if they do not train the majority of their students to deal directly with the needs of the society-are misallocating resources too. While college doors are still closed to the majority of our population, colleges like Wellesley somehow find it possible to devote their time to teaching women to spend their leisure time more creatively. To be honest, I do not believe that such a picture of Wellesley is fair, but it is certainly the one painted...
