Some high school seniors now enter college ready for sophomore work; many collegians do graduate work long before they graduate. Last week Yale voted to speed the trend even more. By squeezing five years of work into four, some Yalemen will now be allowed to graduate with bachelors' and masters' degrees at the same time. Hoped-for eventual result: younger, sharper Ph.D.s...
...personalistic-has made civil rights its overriding issue. Currently, it takes a dim view of big talk and big organizations. "You get civil rights for breakfast, lunch and dinner," says a Princeton student. "I'm sick of it." Concrete, man-toman effort is another matter. Yalemen recently traveled all over Mississippi to register Negro voters. This fall 1,000 eager Harvard students volunteered for civil rights work-notably in the Northern Student Movement's tutorial program. Tutoring Negro children is this year's top project at campuses from Reed to Vassar to Wayne State. "This...
...Yalemen, like most collegians, have long dwelt in the shadow of the gargoyle. Gothic architecture, with its encrusted spires and ogives, was the accepted way of making scholarship look more scholarly. But no longer.

Some of the Yale structures are ordinary, but the boldest buildings have succeeded in giving modern architecture a host of new directions...
While presidents pass the hat for funds, the chief educators at famed universities these days are the deans of undergraduate colleges. So it is at Yale College, where for 25 years "Dean of Deans" William C. DeVane has been such a beloved fixture that last fall Yalemen could hardly believe his announcement of retirement next June. Last week they were equally startled when Yale picked Dean DeVane's successor-not an Old Blue or an Early American but a 42-year-old Frenchman...
Throughout the week, Big Daddy mixed with the Yalemen, astonishing them with his skill and speed at pingpong, delicately holding teacups in his huge hands, impressing earnest undergraduates by throwing around such terms as "technocratic populist" and "social pluralism." When wit was required, he had it. Why does California have such extremes of right and left in its politics? "We have such a lush climate that both fruits and nuts flourish." What would he have done if he had been Nixon's campaign manager? "Cut my throat." Did he have any advice to the Yaleman who wants...
