...case against the University is not so much a suspicion of racial bias as a failure to make it clear that Harvard is enthusiastically committed to the cradication of ethnic discrimination and the institution of social equality. In the recent dispute between the Harvard Club of Dallas and the Debate Council, there was never an official condemnation of the alumni position and, in fact, the first of the University's sentiments was "the Dallas Club has a right to its opinion." That this opinion, for all public purposes, had virtually become the policy of the University, was apparently no matter

But the death of Bessie Goldberg brought fear back to Boston. At week's end, a Negro handyman was arrested and held on suspicion of her strangling.

Girls at Mount Holyoke primarily date boys from Yale, Dartmouth, Amherst, and Williams (though many look upon Amherst with contempt and Dartmouth with suspicion). Harvard is not a major source of dates. ("After all, you've got Radcliffe," a girl commented.) Because of Mount Holyoke's separation from men's colleges, social life is strictly a weekend activity; since they are not in frequent contact with boys, many girls-especially freshmen-must rely heavily on blind dates to meet boys...
