...history of mankind's progress, the conquest of space symbolizes one of man's oldest, most basic drives: the hunger for knowledge, the lure of every new frontier, the challenge of the impossible. And that is the legacy left behind by Virgil Grissom, Edward White and Roger Chaffee- just as it was by men like Marco Polo, Magellan, Charles A. Lindbergh and Explorer Robert Falcon Scott, whose Antarctic memorial bears an inscription from Tennyson's Ulysses: "To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield...
...know-how and scientific savvy, has proved to be one of the Federal Government's most creative contributions to American agriculture.

But the schools' hunger for more land, the traffic and housing problems they create, have sharpened old town-gown tensions - and have also made administrators more conscious of the fact that their institutions may possess the intellectual resources to help create what Hester calls "a renaissance in urban life." University of Pennsylvania's President Gaylord P. Harnwell believes that the modern university "is not beholden to any political or economic master," and thus is "the last major institution of urban life...
