...formation of a CEP sub-committee to study admissions policy reflects the need of both faculty and Administration to decide what sort of student the college should try to educate. The crux of the problem of admissions criteria seems to consist of a choice between the proven scholar and the intelligent "all around" man. There is, of course, room for both, but serious disagreement exists as to the desirable mixture of these types in future classes. The exponents of one position, hold, in general, that Harvard is a place for scholarship, and admissions consideration should thus consider academic achievement...
What the Air Force in particular, and the Armed Forces in general, should recognize is that publicity can consist of a relatively simple alert in advance--such as those available for the satellites and lunar probes which have been launched by the National Agency for Space and Aeronautics as part of the IGY. Attempts to conceal the entire operation may prevent public embarrassment in case of failure, but they can also diminish scientific value in case of success...
...three-semester program would seem to be one effective way of organizing such a program. Preferably the first semester would consist of mathematics and could thus be skipped by anyone who had completed this equivalent. Such an introductory semester of math might give the rudimentary concepts of functions, calculus, and the limit--a requisite for understanding the idea of approximation and measurement. With a semester of math under his belt the student could continue on to a semester of basic physics--perhaps mechanics and thermo-dynamics--to get the fundamental concepts of energy...
...unlike the IBRD, would operate on a local currency basis--a loan to India, for example, might consist of francs for French concrete, guilders for Dutch engineers, and rupees for the local labor. India would repay, at low interest over a long period, in rupees, which in turn would later be used by the Authority to purchase Indian goods and services, thus providing a double boost to India's economy...

Hammond was sick earlier this season, thus far usually swimming only in the medley. The final relay, which very well may decide the meet will consist of the Crimson's best--Ulbrich, the two Seatons, and Hunter...
