...Russel T. Weil '49, president of the Harvard Club, said that such housing is a courtesy the club has long provided for groups such as the Band or Hasty Puddings on trips to the capital. He said that when he receives requests for housing, he makes an informal announcement asking for club members willing to provide it. He said that he would do the same if he received any requests from peace marchers. So far, however, he has not received any such requests...

The text is difficult to handle with its superabundance of scientific and psychological material, and the translation is at least awkward in many instances. Weil's success in evident in the continuity of which distinguish the play.
