...House dining hall thoroughly congenial. The Grad Center has often appeared to be an ill-sorted melange of law, theology and physics students, each with his specific interest, none with a particularly large group of associates from which to choose his friends.

In the meantime, it is far better not to widen enmities, but to seek consent and the cooperation of local populations by giving them as much as can be given of what they...
