...enormous fortune from her fractious father (Tony Maier). Dona Sirena the matchmaker (Lucy Raudenbush), a magnificent grande dame whose social position is somewhat frayed for lack of funds, turns a blind, pragmatic eye to the goings-on of her niece Columbine (Anne Pederson). Miss Pederson's voice is sometimes weak, but she plays a very hot little piece...
...best answer seems to be that the Columbia administration was unusually arbitrary in its decision-making, excluding faculty and students from its deliberations almost entirely.

Gaunt Max von Sydow, for example, plays the archteypal Bergman male--weak and childish, incapable of even killing a hen for supper, leaning on Liv Ullman, his strong loving wife (much like Gunnar Bjornstrand and Eva Dahlbeck in a happier film, Smiles of a Summer Night). Here, too, the estranged couple is at the end reunited. But even these familiar touches...
