Blowing up a $16 million rocket to get to the moon may seem wasteful to some-but it scarcely is, in view of what space exploration contributes to science and the economy, not to say the human spirit. War is undoubtedly wasteful, not only in matériel but also in the irretrievable waste of lost lives. Yet even here, it is a question of values-most American wars have been fought for human causes and values that its citizens considered no waste, whether it was abolition of slavery at home or freedom in the world at large...

There is also great concern for what sort of legacy will be left to Ed School students yet to come. Previous years saw the students inspecting the Library and the placement Office, examining the doctoral program, or confronting the faculty with alternatives to the MAT experience. But there were few attempts at perpetuating these efforts, and if they remain at all, they do so only in the fuzzy memories of a few administrators and the oldest doctoral candidates.
