The article is a fair and correct one in some respects, but in others it did not seem as if it was written by the same person. Why does Mr. Taub feel that he must bring up the "old chestnut" that has long been disproved of Williams being a "country club"? If it is a sin for Williams to have a "lush campus" or for any other college, then why are colleges trying to develop...
