...Harvard's memories of last year's encounter will supply an additional motive: revenge. With 1:14 left in the game and Harvard Stadium enveloped in a bizarre indigo haze, the Crimson's Gary Bosnic missed a 30-yd. field goal to seal a Brown win. The Bruins had pulled ahead with a two-point conversion just 2:57 earlier...

Well, at least he remembers them. If Harvard Faculty ever composes its memoirs, more than likely the chapter on the 1969 and '70 merger debates will not make the final edition. Most of Holton's colleagues do not recall a debate ever taking place and the few who do, have only the vaguest notion what anyone said. Even John R.

Edward L. Keenan '57, dean of the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences and then member of a committee on the admissions and financial aid aspects of the merger, did not believe in hasty Faculty action either. He advised that all decisions on future relationships between Harvard and Radcliffe "be deferred until all considerations pro and con from both communities have been heard." Bunting also opposed the Faculty making a decisive statement on the merger. "It would be premature for this Faculty to take any action at this time that would limit the options," she warned...
