Makes No IBoones1_ j Graduate Dean Seeks Education Reforms

by Richard Strelitz There has been much talk lately about the future of Caltech, some constructive, some just lounge talk. Last Tuesday, I spoke with Dean Bohnenblust about the school, and what he thought of the education for which he is in part responsible. He prefaced his remarks by stating that the best feature of Caltech is that it is small and different. We are not yet a university - we are still a small school. This means that we can not have a large number of diverse courses taught, something to satisfy DABNEY HOUSE TAKES REVENGE ON THE COMPUTER by incinerating 59 everyone, but we are small enough boxes of used IBM cards.
