After the original deluge of student interest had been organized into well-charted panel discussions, the next day saw the whole conference reconvened in the new debutanted Littauer auditorium where there followed a tidal wave of voluble riot and disorganized debate. In vain did the group mentality strive to find the fruits of its previous well-ordered labor mirrored in the stormy session that questioned deficit finance, public spending, and even the protagonists' intentions.

...abolition of a certain amount of contact with the rest of the collegiate world, and a shrinking back into a cramped Cambridge-New Haven shell. Fortunately these effects are quantitatively unimportant. And opposite them can be entered the more-than-compensating gains to the student body as a whole...
