...effect is that the same names keep surfacing in an informal interlocking directorate. Among the chief boards are the National Science Foundation (Hesburgh, Clement, M.I.T.'s Julius Stratton, Bryn Mawr's Katharine McBride), the Rockefeller Foundation (Hesburgh, Goheen, Caltech's Lee DuBridge), the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching (Perkins, Goheen, Stratton, Hesburgh, McBride, Minnesota's O. Meredith Wilson, North Carolina's William Friday, U.C.L.A.'s Franklin Murphy, Illinois' David Henry), the Institute of International Education (Wilson, Hesburgh, Murphy, McBride, Henry...
They are not; they are captivated. All week long, listeners packed into the Main Point coffeehouse in Bryn Mawr, Pa., to hear Folk Singer Buffy Sainte-Marie.

Vassar's ear nest, do-gooder zeal eludes them; nor do they share the compulsive egalitarianism of Barnard students. They are neither so muscularly athletic as the Bryn Mawr girls nor quite so country-sweet as the Mount Holyoke lasses. Their distinguishing characteristic, in short, is that they don't stand out. They tend simply to be wholesome girls who make normal, well-adjusted housewives and civic-minded citizens. One important reason for that reputation is Wellesley College...
