Students were not the only ones in Cambridge tobe affected by the war effort. Conant noted in his1943-44 report that "some faculties have beenheavily denuded" by the war, with professorsleaving for Washington or overseas.
"The war affected us quite considerably," says Miller, who shared the economics prize in 1990 for pioneering work in financial economics. "Our programs were accelerated so that the class of '44 was actually graduated in '43."
While World War II affected students of 1944 more than perhaps any other historical event in their life-times, the turbulent period since graduation has also touched their lives in many ways.
The class was divided on which events affected them the most. Relatively few sent children to Vietnam, and Atherton notes the Vietnam, conflict drew far less support from members of the class than World War II had.
But the war affected all elements of student life, and romantic relations were no exception. Couples were both aided and hurt by wartime transformations like the institution of co-ed classes, which changed the nature of relationship between the sexes at Harvard forever.
