...America's troubles, as Whitehead suggests, painful signs of new fruitfulness to come? Or is the U.S., as others insist, a doomed society, grown divided and decadent even before it could come to maturity? Not only hope but hard evidence points to the Whitehead hypothesis. One thing ought to be clear from experience. Whether God is dead or not, belief in God or something very like him seems to be an ecological necessity for the balance of man in society.

...experiment's chances for success probably depend on how much undergraduate effort goes into organizing an exchange in the next few weeks, and on the willingness of Radcliffe officials to make the first gestures of mergerism. Even if mixed housing is not tried next term, though, the HPC report ought to alert administrators to the folly of planning the future of the Houses or mapping out schedules of Radcliffe dorm construction without intending to make either coeducational...
