John F. Kennedy was one of the graduates who remembered his frequent exhortation: "Ask not what your school can do for you, but what you can do for your school...

Whether because it wished to re-emphasize its position as a pace-setting copper producer or because of some genteel arrangement whereby it drew the task of moving first, Union had decided on a price hike.
