Gould also predicts that the universal need for wisdom will lead to a sharing of faculties and facilities among public and private universities, and that students will freely move from one institution to another in search of specific learning. That, of course, means that the schools of the future may be more impersonal than they are now-and will require a new maturity on the part of students.

...C.O.R.'s first pleas for help were highly seasoned with mentions of napalm and bombs and inflated casualty statistics. The fledgling organization soon found itself wrangling with experts such as Manhattan's Dr. Howard Rusk, who questioned not only the number of potential patients but also the wisdom of gathering them up in large numbers and sending them for treatment...
