Such interdisciplinary programs run entirely against the each-tub-on-its-own-bottom structure of the University; as Francis H. Burr '35, senior fellow of the Corporation, says, "If selection and promotion of faculty is done within departments, it's very hard to get people to think in interdepartmental, interdisciplinary terms, because that's not where the rewards are. Something has got to evolve, exactly what is going to come up I don't know. The most conservative body in the world is a faculty, especially a Faculty of arts and sciences." While Bok downplays the difficulties of setting...
...with some male companions at a popular watering hole, Longet returned to Sabich's house. Soon afterward, she phoned the Aspen Valley Hospital to report that there had been a shooting. Sheriffs officers, police and ambulance attendants found Sabich lying in the master bathroom, next to a sunken tub, mortally wounded by a single .22-cal. bullet in the abdomen. As Aspen Valley's Dr. Charles Williams related it, Longet "told police officers that he [Sabich] was showing me how to hold the gun and it went...
There are many historical and institutional reasons for the discord that now cripples the GSD: the last dean's laissez-faire approach left the school in administrative turmoil and on the brink of fiscal disaster; the relatively small GSD is especially vulnerable at Harvard, where each "tub" must stand on its own budgetary "bottom"; and physical designers, quantitative planners, and user-oriented GSD students and faculty have continually disputed the appropriate recipe for a design education.

...human wants and values but are unable to comprehend them. Another member saw that arts and sciences are not necessarily the vehicle for teaching the perception and implementation of these values, but did stress the need for integration of disciplines in the University. He expressed the opinion that the tub-on-its-own-bottom concept is destructive to this integration and pointed to failures of attempted collaborative efforts between the GSD and the Business School in the area of planning. One member suggested that every department in the University, where appropriate, should institute programs in some aspects of urban studies...
...most frustrating fixture of all, in Kira's view, is the tub-shower. "The only substantive reason for taking a tub bath is to relax," he maintains, "and yet it is precisely this that the vast majority of tubs have not permitted the user to do." The tub should be longer (6 ft., v. the standard 5 ft.) and wider, have a contoured back to fit the curvature of the spine, a comfortable place to sit while foot washing and shampooing, and a hand spray for rinsing. Showers should be larger, have continuous wrap-around grab-bars and different...
