[Editor's note: It has been hard to keep grants to Harvard and its various schools and sections separate.

In a report sent to all faculty members yesterday, dean of undergraduate education Susan Pedersen said that a Harvard faculty committee plans to develop common guidelines for grading and ''restore a more robust distinction between excellent and good work.''
