...course it would be misleading not to mention that Harvard has during the same period in which it instituted the retirement benefits for instructors, also offered Staff Tuition scholarship aid exclusively to teaching fellows (though many other graduate students receive scholarship aid of other kinds which pays tuition).

Johnson's current battle with the Wallaces grows out of a 1963 case in which he ordered twelve Negro students admitted to all-white Tuskegee High School.

On the comprehension test, he scored 80 per cent on the questions covering the part he read and 70 per cent on the reading he had not done.
