...Faculty attitudes range from mild support to vehement opposition of UFS. To cite one instance of opposition, last semester I was told by Professor Zalewski of the Department of Architecture: "You are fooling yourself if you think you have learned anything by working on a UFS project this semester. If you want to work for these black people [the clients actually happened to be white] you should quit school. This work has no place in the School...
Only a few articles hint at the meaning of female liberation.

The report even suggested that Solzhenitsyn leave Russia for the West, "where his anti-Soviet works and letters are always received with such delight...
...participating gaily in drama. Others. however, participate seriously in administrative organizations such as Radcliffe and dormitory government, in service organizations (like their mothers) and in choral societies. Where rules are to be tended, this group tends them. Briggs, the strong hold of the peach flavor, was the most vehement supporter of an orderly and extensive system of sign-outs when the system was debated a few years...
