Revelle: Yes. Of course, that's not true with graduate students. 



These were undergraduates. But I think Ellen enjoyed those 

 and I enjoyed them, those little student parties. You could 

 get to talk to the students about their concerns and not 

 about the course. 



Sharp: What were some of their concerns? 



Revelle: Oh, money and getting through. You know what they are. 



Sharp: Sure, grades and all that. 



Revelle: - Grades. Sex. They usually didn't talk much about that. 



Sharp: No, probably not. [laughing] 



Revelle: They were also interested in conversation about world 



problems and intellectual things quite a bit. They didn't 

 let their hair down at all. 



Sharp: The students that came to the parties, were they generally 

 students you had already met through some other way? 



Revelle: No, they would introduce themselves. I have a very poor 

 memory for student names. I have to ask them every time 

 what their name is. 



Sharp: Especially if there 're upward of 300 in the class it's 

 nearly impossible. 



Revelle: Yes. 



Sharp: Well, I think unless there are some other thoughts that you 

 have about Harvard, we'll get right into the international 

 area. 



Revelle: 



All right.
