When the 107 returning members of the Radcliffe Class of 1954 arrive at Comstock Hall Wednesday afternoon to embark upon three days of receptions, luncheons, colloquia, special exhibits and performances in honor of the Radcliffe Centennial, they'll find significant changes in their alma mater. Back in the early '50s, Radcliffe was an institution seeminly independent of Harvard, sharing only course instruction, an economy measure forced by war-time pressures.

HEAO-2, dubbed the "Einstein Observatory" in honor of the physicist who was born a century ago this year, would change all that. With an X-ray telescope a thousand times more sensitive than any previous instruments, Einstein for the first time has been able to take high resolution X-ray photographs and accurately measure the size, shape and structure of X-ray sources as far as the edge of the known Universe--more than 15 billion light-years away...

That was no Red Headed Stranger standing in the Oval Office in braids and denim pants. That was outlaw Country Star Willie Nelson presenting President Carter with a Steuben bowl for the President's efforts on behalf of country music. The award was recently created to honor people who make unique contributions to country music, and when the votes for the first recipient were counted, Carter was told, "lo and behold, your name led all the rest."
