One of the deck officers on watch was a young Naval Reserve officer, in private life a wealthy yachting dilettante. The waters around eastern Long Island were as familiar to him as had been his nursery floor. When he saw Fire Island dead ahead...

Rockefeller Jr., that the day of the large donor was coming to a close, and that universities must eventually become self-supporting. At Yale, even with the forthcoming increase, students will still pay less than half the cost of education. At Harvard the percentage paid by the individual must be even smaller. Though the total endowment is much larger than at Yale, the drain of graduate schools and work is greater here...
