...partially intended to provide a nationwide diffusion of alumni; but its extension to the House system indicates the Administration's conviction that association with students of different backgrounds is valuable to the educational experience. As applied to Harvard, however, this policy does little more than prevent domination by one type. Its positive advantages are relatively superficial, providing a deceptive variety which extends to manners and customs, but in general, no deeper...
...loyalty, an accumulation of attitudes and standards to serve as a basis of action and thought. As a state of mind, it furnishes a setting in which ideas can be fixed and evaluated, and, to some extent, ordered. Eastern provincialism, as seen at Harvard, is an especially enlightened type: it is urbane, cultured, informed and relatively tolerant. But where Harvard leaves people to themselves superficially, it makes more stringent demands intellectually. It imposes its own attitudes and values in the guise of liberality, expelling and excluding alternative patterns of thinking...
...virulent strains that have been "attenuated" by growing them in animals (or eggs) that are not their natural prey. These must then be tested to make sure that after being allowed to grow in the human digestive system they do not revert to virulent form. No such reversion to type has been detected in tests that have now covered more than a million subjects...
Chumakov began brewing Sabin-type vaccine at the Institute for the Study of Poliomyelitis, a rambling frame building among the railroad yards on Moscow's outskirts. Last week he was readying the world's biggest test of live polio vaccine, had 300 liters on ice-enough for 10 million people. No small operators, Chumakov and colleagues dreamed of immunizing all the Soviet Union's 200 million people regardless of age (600 million doses, since vaccine for one strain of each of polio's three main virus types is given in separate swigs, a month apart). Satellite...
...Sabin-type vaccine got a different type of test in Singapore when it was hit by a polio epidemic last August. British-trained Professor James Hale decided to work with Sabin's Type II vaccine. All the polio occurring was of Type I. If any Type II disease showed up, it would be almost certainly due to faulty vaccine. But while Type II vaccine is supposed to give 100% protection only against Type II disease, it is claimed to give about 60% protection against Type I also. As hoped, Type I disease began to decline sharply...
