...closely associated through the years, Pompidou and De Gaulle could hardly differ more in taste, temperament and approach to life.

While we recognize that the present system has helped to establish a tradition of evaluating students on the basis of merit and has fostered Harvard's reputation for academic excellence, we are convinced that in the context of our day, with students who differ greatly in backgrounds and abilities from those of Frankfurter's day, the utility...
