...force for constructive change in American higher education." The University of Wyoming is losing lean, granitic Samuel Howell Knight, 70, creator of the so-so school's one real claim to academic fame-a crack geology department that lures graduate students from Yale, Stanford and other distant schools. Geologist Knight spent his youth studying the badlands the way a city kid takes in the movies. He might have made a fortune in mining, chose instead to teach on a salary that for 30 years did not top $5,000. Knight is famous for stunning blackboard sketches using multicolored chalk...
...employed during the summer. This year some 300 will work in scientific research laboratories without pay as part of their training, about 75 will serve in Government internship programs in Washington. Many more will join traveling seminars in art, language and international affairs. Others like Vassar's future geologist, Diana Chapman will devote their summer to their specialty, and still others will be engaged in such mundane activities as hawking the Herald Tribune on the streets of Paris and being a charwoman in London...

...supplying equipment at cut-rate prices: lightweight oxygen tanks, walkie-talkies, 13 tons of freeze-dried food, vitamins, Metrecal wafers. Then Dyhrenfurth picked his team: 20 men, each an experienced part-time mountain climber, each a specialist in his full-time field-a physicist, a psychologist, a philosopher, a geologist, a geographer, physicians, a sociologist. The expedition was more than a sporting assault: on Everest, Dr. William Siri planned to measure the effects of solar radiation, study the effects of high altitudes on the human mind and body. Even the team's diarist was something of a specialist: Novelist...
...star pitcher for the Harvard boys, threw a no-hit game for seven innings until Al Daly hit a fierce bunt past third-baseman Petey Kann. The Crimson scored its lone two runs in the sixth inning on a 500 ft. blast by Al "Four Eyes" Crenshaw, one-time geologist and photo chairman. The play had been set up by a crucial bobble of an easy infield fly ball, hit by Richard "Gnat" Ruge...
