...long as parietal restrictions have been a source of discontent, so has the lecture-exam rote system of instruction. The idea has long been abandoned that a three-hour exam teaches a student more than a term paper or is more conducive to instilling a genuine interest in the material. The freshman seminar program, small-group instruction such as independent studies, and tutorial were introduced as alternatives to the lecture system--and with overwhelming success and popularity. But these programs all started in the 1950's and have expanded little since. Financial considerations have limited their growth...
After a heated three-hour session last night, the Cambridge City Council voted six to three against reconsidering the ouster of City Manager Joseph A. DeGuglielmo '29. The Council took no action on a successor...

Much of the agony stems from the exaggerated belief of many students that their S.A.T. scores will determine whether they get into the college of their choice-or even any college at all. For the most part, the pain is pointless. A number of educators now contends that the tests are an imprecise indicator of future success-and colleges are relying on them less and less...
