When Harvard undergraduates gather in Sanders Theatre this morning at a peace forum presided over by the Dean of the University, they will be in no way participating in the American Student Union's nation-wide "strike." Far from defying college authority, they will meet with the approval of the Dean's Office. Far from drinking in some of the more ruddy doctrines of the A.S.U., they will hear no less conservative a speaker than Hamilton Fish, Jr. Far from being harangued by undergraduate radicals, they will be addressed by the President of the Student Council...

...Each student uses a graphite pencil and a special examination sheet. All he has to do is to make a pencil mark about a quarter of an inch long in one of the five answer columns accompanying each question. In the grading machine, the examination sheet is pressed against 750 both of electric contacts corresponding to the 750 answer positions on the paper. The pencil mark on any of the answer positions on the sheet closes an electric circuit, and with the graphite acting as the conductor of current, the machine automatically records whether the answers are right or wrong...
