...happens. Then stick a steel rod into it-the metal becomes red hot almost at once. This phenomenon is the basis of the fast-growing industry of induction heating: more induction equipment (using over 175,000,000 watts) was installed in the U.S. last year than in any previous three-year period. And today nearly all of it is used for smithing the weapons of war in arsenals, navy yards, private plants. Induction heating-with welding and substitution of casting for many forging operations-is one of the three big technological developments which gives U.S. arms-making a pace...
...normal times a vacation could replace any of the three semesters. Such a plan would require few more re-constructions of courses than are necessary for the present scheme. The chief advantage is that an evenly divided year would turn out three-year graduates without sad blanks in the unity of their education.

On the contrary, the curriculum will be increased by the addition of new defense courses training men for special skills. The Faculty's nomadic existence between here and Washington will not turn into a great migration...
Tuitions can hardly be reduced except in a few isolated instances such as the extra course fee for three-year students. President Eliot used to sustain a theory that a professor should be satisfied with a low salary because of the honor of teaching at Harvard. This system will work no longer. Harvard must pay to keep the best teachers available in order to maintain its standards above those of the state universities...
