...graduate in three years. But to students, the program is just a group of exemptions and requirements, unless one happens to have the same interests as the administrators. Even the minority who want to leave in three years are unlikely to have much concern for secondary education or much explicit interest in making the Freshman year more interesting.

The Administration, indeed, has been forced to espouse a sort of conspiracy theory whereby requests for change are the work...
