...when we find men as dedicated as Adams, do we enjoy heckling them off their shaky roost? If they would compare the salaries and gift lists of Harlow Curtice, Henry Ford II, et al., it would make Adams' list look pretty trivial...
...give Radcliffe student equality within Harvard organizations. After considerable delay and mutterings about Radcliffe's independence, whatever it is, the Annex acceded to these pressures and approved the change in policy. The long-term implications of this event were clouded, and while they might lead to nothing less trivial than a 'Cliffie president of the Lampoon, the change might turn out to be an important step toward the realization that Harvard College is coeducational, and that Radcliffe might as well give...
...unimportant. "The Creative Artist" is well written and interesting, although some personal details and quotations from the artists would have helped considerably. The scholarships article is clearly written, but lists nary a dollars and cents figure and makes no mention of the loan program. The Student Employment story is trivial, and might well have been condensed into the scholarship story that had too many pictures anyhow.

The "Harvard Science" feature begins like a melodramatic parody of Time magazine--"It was the year of the rocket...

Dr. Roth disagrees...
Scott is so good an actor that he can almost get away with this, but his approach seems to have infected a great part of the cast, and they cannot. Earle Edgerton and Lucienne Schupf, playing Cornwall and Regan, delivered even the most trivial lines with appalling vehemence. John Baker's Edgar suffered from the same virus--although he was excellent in the Poor Tom scenes--while Gerald Medearis' performance of Edmund was in the best tradition of Errol Flynn...
