Most temporary administrators would not be so bold as to terminate a longstanding facet of undergraduate life. Derek Bok was far too sheepish to get up in students?? proverbial grills, but not you. I guess he didn’t have your strong record as a museum curator. I know it was probably shocking to you to discover that there are some college parties where “the focus is on drinking...
