...create a Faculty of Science. In cooperation with other Hong Kong schools, New Asia College is also attempting to strengthen its Chinese studies, an effort for which it receives funds from both Harvard and Yale.

Both men seem to have yearnings for aristocracy. Loewe murmurs now and again that his mother was a baroness, and Lerner is proud that his present wife is an indirect descendant of Napoleon. Lerner would be unlikely to cross a street unless the trip made reasonable sense, but Loewe once flew with a friend from Los Angeles to Vienna just to taste again those wonderful Little Wiener Wrsteln, (Vienna frankfurters) that "spit in your mouth."

Prospective scientists, for example, comprise almost half the entering class, but little more than a quarter graduate as science concentrators.

Science is one area where the talented student can show clear and measurable competence and be drawn into a orientation toward college which produces a clear articulation of the relation between education and life...
Space between the planets looks crystal clear to the unscientific eye. But there is indirect evidence that a very thin gas pervades at least some parts of it. Scientists have argued for years about this tenuous stuff: one theory holds that interplanetary space is filled with "resident" gas that has nothing to do with the planets; another claims that the outer fringe of the sun's glowing corona sometimes reaches out as far as the earth's orbit. The issue remained in doubt for the simple reason that no one had actually sampled interplanetary space, but in Britain...
