...while he is sanguine about the "forseeable future." Rosovsky suggests that "at some point we're not going to be able to do it any more--it depends on the Faculty's priorities."

Lyman and Jewett talk of "tinkering with the edges" and "belt-tightening" without altering the basic lines of College policy. But such modification in the short-run, they say, will not resolve any of the philosophical questions that eventually will demand scrutiny...

The clubs carried on, but as D.U. member Peter S. Prescott '57 insists. "It was impossible to underestimate their importance;" they were rapidly giving way to mere Pierian organizations-The Crimson, for one, which underwent in great boom...
