I challenge Harvard to lead the way again, to call for large research institutions--the upper elite and foundation of higher education in America--to reaffirm their commitment to their undergraduates. Before the University, there was Harvard College...

And as Anderson suggests, there are any number of other large scientific undertakings that could adopt the SETI model. Maybe someday my idle PC will be helping map the human genome or find a cure for cancer. Hey, it's the least...
