Small departmental funds exist, varying widely in their limitations and availability. A few funds, like the Belknap bequest to the Harvard University Press, render significant services in aiding occasional research projects, but no coordinated machinery exists for aiding Harvard work on the frontiers of knowledge...
Satellites First. The first stage of military space flight after the earth-to-earth missiles will probably be an unmanned reconnaissance satellite. The peaceful, 212-lb. satellite of Project Vanguard will have no military value, but rocket motors exist that can put a much heavier satellite into a permanent orbit.

For religious qualification is an almost impossible means of preventing integration or circumscribing political rights, thanks to traditional constitutional separation of church and state. The commission, now with its chief duties...
...contention that his party was divided, and said instead that in areas where the two-party system functions, such as the North, the Mid- west, the West, and the East, the party is completely united. Only in the South, where there is no two-party system, does a split exist, he claimed...
