...speaker cited three minor curriculum reforms in the last ten years and said that none of them had worked out as originally intended because they were based on incorrect premises or because they were not properly implemented...
...Chester is simply incorrect when he says that "each member has 'blackball' power over any candidate." No one does. I have seen both faculty and administration members outvoted by the student electors; one man, one vote. On the other hand, it was true, at least when I was in the Society, that "faculty recommendations carry strong weight" (though it requires contemplation to understand how a weight can be strong rather than heavy).

...believe I would not be incorrect in assessing election to PBK as the second highest academic honor Harvard College can bestow. If so, the Society should act less like a Final Club, and more like an honorary society.

At any moment, the computer is giving its whole attention to only one student, but it works instantaneously on a "shared-time" basis and easily covers all 16 students...
...troops to the extent of sending them into hostile territory with insufficient military preparation and protection to their almost certain (and quite pointless) death; who was convicted of one desertion of his own troops and was suspected of others; who either committed perjury or at least gave incorrect, damaging testimony in court to satisfy a personal spite; who disobeyed specific orders given by the one friend he seems to have retained and the one general who intervened in his behalf; who presumably planned the sacrifice of the lives of the bulk of his command in order to achieve a minor...
