The Right to Read Rapidly
WILLIAM G. PERRY, JR., and CHARLES P. WHITLOCK are Directors of the Bureau of Study Counsel at Harvard University. Their aim is to help students help themselves; they work, as they say, on the receiving end of education, listening as the undergraduates describe the problems—and reading is certainly one of them — which determine how much education really takes place. In the clinic 300 students consult individually with them in the course of a year, and in their reading classes over 3000 have enrolled during the past five years, including graduate students and members of the faculty.
