They may never see their alma mater, and her football games come out of the radio. But last week more than 13,000 University of Maryland undergraduates began a new semester as eagerly as if they were back in College Park.

Said he: "You have the opportunity to make a great contribution to history by making it possible to ease tensions. It is within your hands."
