...Reynolds' office does not serve as a fund-raising unit itself. Instead, it coordinates and advises the development offices in the various graduate schools in the University. Harvard fund-raising is decentralized, unlike fund-raising at many other institutions (Columbia, for example, now has one large, university-wide campaign). Reynolds involves himself in a school's individual capital campaign to the extent that it must extend beyond its natural constituency (alumni of the school and interested friends).

...silent, leading Clark Kerr to claim that a few noisy malcontents had exaggerated the dissatisfaction of this college generation. At Harvard, however, political and social activism--expressed in a variety of service in the slums as well as anti-war demonstrations in the Cambridge streets--became an important class-wide phenomenon. Though there were outstanding individuals, one of the things which impressed Dean Monro about his last senior class at Harvard was the "breadth of involvement...
