...group of seven distinguished academicians, artists, and executives have been chosen to serve with President Bunting on the Executive Board of the recently announced Radcliffe Institute for Advanced Study. The Board will meet here on January 5 to begin formulating the Institute's program...
...Corporation has postponed approval of the project since last winter while awaiting assurance that the new building would not interfere with President Pusey's "high rise" program, which requires that no new small building prevent the eventual construction of a multi-story structure...
