Fifty years ago there were not 1800 colleges and universities spread out across the country. Fifty years ago an unabundant economy made one's ties to a single and unbroken career financially more binding. Fifty years ago the university was the preserve of a more or less chosen few, who raised few questions about its purpose. These things have changed, and those who return now to Harvard for reunion will note that even here there has been change. We shall change further.

With considerable secrecy, SAC's airborne alert has been flying for more than a year, patrolling the skies in unbroken guard while many a defense critic was orating that the U.S. is unprepared for Russian missile attack. First flights were made out of Loring Air Force Base in Maine. Since then, the alert has flown 6,000 sorties, with no alert bomber landed until another has relieved it on station.

The catholic tradition would also require that there be a formal confession...
