Surely President Conant never meant to play the part of Robespierre when he announced his aim of developing scholars in Cambridge. Do the facts justify the "terror"? Just how many men are being fired and what change has occurred in Faculty standards...

This confusion started the terror, but there is one factor to be considered in connection with it. An administration may not inform a man when he comes up for promotion or reappointment what his chances of eventual success are.

Last week one Jose Costiello Fuentes, an ordinary bandit...
