The few scattered releases from the committee have promised sweeping changes within Harvard's medical setup, including a new health center and a compulsory Blue Cross plan for every University student. Support for a centralized hospital and infirmary has had years to pick up momentum, for while the medical staff and the students have bewailed Stillman's inadequacies, they pointed to the proposed building as a necessity for the near-future.

The G.E. crystal is only 1/1000 of an inch in diameter (the diameter of the finest human hair is about 1/1500 of an inch), but careful tests have proved it astoundingly strong. If its cross section were one square inch, it could hold up a weight of almost 1,000,000 pounds...
