...saying that the school was not paying enough attention to studying urban problems or preparing its graduates to teach in urban schools. The report recommended that an ad hoc committee begin formulating a new program of urban studies, and further, that the school establish a new "criterion of intellectual vigor." Specifically, the authors felt that students interested in field work should be encouraged to work with community educational agencies and other educational groups and should be given credit and supervision. Professors had long resisted this suggestion. They argued that stressing practical experience would turn the school into a "technical training...
...Grading, they suggested, "is not only unreliable and subjective, but has an insidious effect on student-faculty relationships." As for tenure, if the School was going to redefine academic standards for students and admissions requirements for black students, it was only logical to extend the new criteria of "intellectual vigor" to faculty.

Vanishing Sting. Yet no paper managed to cover Texas with more vigor, enthusiasm and sensitivity.

I wonder who supported the ex-G.I.s from Viet Nam who infiltrated my mind with...
WAGNER: OVERTURES TO THE FLYING DUTCHMAN, TANNHAUSER, TRISTAN AND ISOLDE, DIE MEISTERSINGER (RCA Victor). These preludes are classics, available in many different interpretations. Here Erich Leinsdorf leads the Boston Symphony with intelligence and vigor. A formidable protege of Toscanini's, Leinsdorf lacks the master's soul, and admirers of the more reflective Wagnerian school may find his performance somewhat grating. Yet those who like their Wagner with discipline and drive will enjoy the record...
