...time, something was disturbing Harvard's new President: the University no longer seemed to be the tight, cohesive community of scholars he had known as an undergraduate in the 1920's. The members of the University-especially the Faculty-were scattering. Many were moving to the ourlying suburbs-Arlington, Belmont, Newton, etc.-and they came into Cambridge only for lectures and their individual research projects. As Pusey said at the time, "When I first arrived here, I was distressed to find so few Faculty members, especially the young instructors, actually lived in Cambridge. I think we lose a great deal...
DEREK C. BOK, Dean of the Law School, joined a panel in his home town. Belmont, to discuss the Moratorium, the draft, and questions of legitimate dissent.

Since then, Arts and Letters has romped through the season as blithely as a stud in pasture. He won impressive victories in some rugged stakes races, including the Travers, Metropolitan Mile and Jim Dandy Mile. He recently returned to New York's Belmont Park and, with Baeza again in the saddle, swept to a two-length win over No-double in the $106,000 Woodward Stakes. His time: 2 min. 1 sec., a scant second off the track record set by Kelso in 1961. That triumph also brought his 1969 earnings to $486,574, which placed the tough little...
