Adds Rawlings: "Since 1951 we've just about equipped the Air Force with jet equipment. We've written contracts for $93 billion and spent about $83 billion.

...which to judge more recent classes, and must confine themselves to their predictions and prophetical calculations, which in this case so pitifully deceived them. It were better that they should look upon such things in which the Class of 1961 has excelled, such as (exempla gratia) football and crew. Furthermore, as Ecclesiastes warned, much study is a weariness of the flesh (12:12), and he that increaseth knowledge increaseth sorrow (1:18). And, as St. Paul has said (I.
