Robert Oppenheimer (posing for Eisie for the sixth time) wrote in the memento book a quotation in Greek from Pindar's Third Pythian Ode: "Dear Soul, do not pursue with too much zeal immortal life, but first exhaust the practical mechanics of living."

The University has traditionally attacked the car side of the problem--sending discouraging circulars to Freshman car owners and by enforcing Cambridge regulations which forbid overnight parking. But the University not only enforces the Cambridge regulations with zeal matching the Cambridge police department's; it also gives higher fines, probation for continued violations, and more tickets more often. This may discourage College car owners, but violates the idea that students should be treated equally with Cambridge residents. The University may well be correct that City fines...
