But Provost Harvey V. Fineberg '67 said the University is open to new learning techniques and has "done a lot, at different stages, to cooperate and extend its reach in other directions."

According to Fineberg, he is currently reviewing the University's conflict of interest guidelines in cooperation with Harvard's deans, Rudenstine and members of the Harvard Corporation.

"I hope the new updates will clarify the applicability of these guidelines to contemporary situations," he said. "It remains to be seen how powerfully different media will play out for education--pen and paper aren't that bad either."

Education may be heading into uncharted territory, but it looks like Rudenstine is going back to basics, with students beginning to see the benefits of six years of fundraising. His primary focus is no longer on renovating Harvard's buildings. Now, finally, it is on renovating Harvard's relations with its students, faculty and community.
