...this painless revolution, this inevitable trend to coeducation, is not to be merely smiled at. An institution of higher education cannot seriously make a claim for greatness unless it recognizes both sexes as worth educating. It is increasingly evident that the best schools in the United States are such places as Berkeley, Stanford. Reed, Swarthmore, Columbia, the University of Michigan, the University of Chicago, and Oberlin -- rather than Yale, Princeton, Amherst, Dartmouth, Smith, Mt. Holyoke, Wellesley and Vassar...
...more committed to the church than to the country club. Denominational leaders despair at the widespread lay unwillingness to recognize the race question as a moral issue.

The new IBM family has junior members that can be rented for $2,700 per month or bought outright for $133,000; its largest systems rent for $115,000 per month, cost $5,500,000 to buy. The family's largest and smallest members are now compatible; they use the same computer language and talk to each other at grisly speeds of many thousand characters per second. IBM intends that big and little ones will be connected in closely intimate groups, chattering like crazy 24 hours...
