Some club meetings are designed to discuss goings-on at Harvard, and, understandably, the Strauch Committee report was the focus of many meetings this year. Instead of relying on articles in the Harvard Magazine or Gazette, which tend to be incomplete or misleading, the alumni organization disseminates information and answers questions by sending its directors, 75 representatives who meet at Harvard three times a year to speak at the clubs. The three Harvard meetings include lectures, seminars, and panel discussions aimed at educating the directors as thoroughly as possible before they talk to the alumni at large. The directors have...

Only an issue like the implementation of a one-to-one male-female ratio (few alumni were aroused by what they knew of the Strauch report's "equal access" recommendations, most thinking it won't change the existing ratio) or quarrels over Philadelphia being shortchanged in the number of acceptances would inspire any sort of a letter or phone call campaign by alumni.
