...formal structures of the government probably cannot be changed. The Charter of 1650 which the province of Massachusetts-Bay granted to Harvard College indicates that the Corporation--specifically composed of the President, Treasurer, and five Fellows--and the Board of Overseers shall be the governing bodies of the university. The state constitution, adopted in 1780 and still in effect, bestows on the Corporation "forever" all the rights which they had enjoyed in colonial days...

Formal belief in God seems to have no part in Vonnegut's philosophy, though in Slaughterhouse-Five he does suggest that the story of the Crucifixion would be more appealing if Jesus had been not the Son of God but a nobody. Few modern writers have borne witness against inhumanity with...
