...years for more inviting universities has occasioned a constant dismay in those who would like to see the teaching of creative writing an important part of Harvard's curriculum. Although the prospects for next year show a greater number of courses in the field, the English Department has no program to offer comparable to that of a number of other colleges, notably Iowa and Stanford.

A Harvard education, dollars-and-conts wise, is more dearly bought today than every before.
