...Master Finley calls the "celebrity race," it has not necessarily scored an educational triumph. Under the pressure of crowded schedules, well-known writers and statesmen can not stay as long as they--or the Masters--would like. "It takes a Harvard bunch four or five days to get to know anyone," observed Master Perkins, and unless a visitor can do more than eat and run, "it seems a little excessive to pay his travel expenses and a generous honorarium just to let students shake his hand." However, as Finley pointed out, a visitor "can either spread himself hopelessly thin...
Even in the Cambridge community, including the University, few people know even the nature of the spectacular IGY work being done by Harvard and Smithsonian personnel.

What is distressing, Livingston noted, is that even in this center of intellectual achievement a major gap still exists between the scientists and the non-scientists.

...satellite to be higher up than it was and so did not account for the rapid changes in the orbit's elements, caused by its encounter with the earth's atmosphere. These variations in velocity nearly drove the mathematicians crazy, for they showed no apparent regularity. Now it is know that if a satellite encounters atmosphere its angular momentum is decreased, and this produces a decrease altitude and a decrease in period. At first it was thought that the variations were due to the differing area presented by the satellite as it turned over and over in orbit. Jacchia wrote...
