Of course there are young men about on Friday and Saturday nights, and for Tuesday night coffee, Wednesday afternoon tea and Sunday noon dinner; but they hardly cause a stir.

Faculty members, many of whom live in the city, have apparently remained oblivious to the Belt and its implications for Cambridge. There has hardly been a stir of protest, though such a stir-had it come early enough and had it been large enough-might have bolstered considerably the campaign against the highway.
