That success has not been without its costs. When Ignatius Loyola founded the "Greg"* in 1551, he conceived of it as an intellectual citadel from which to battle the Reformation, and until 1966 it remained a bastion of authoritarian conservatism.

Consider, for example, June Fletcher, 18, a statuesque blonde from Elberon, N.J., who was named Miss Bikini, U.S.A., this summer. A ringer? Not at all, said an admissions official, pointing out that the lovely Tigress was in the top 1% of her high school class and won several public speaking contests.
