Like the Roman Catholic Church and other ancient institutions, it is asking—still in private rather than in public—whether its past assumptions about faculty, authority, admissions, courses of study, are really relevant to the problems of the 199039。s. Should Harvard—or any other university—be an intellectual sanctuary, apart from the political and social revolution of the age, or should it be a laboratory for experimentation with these political and social revolutions。 or even an engine of the revolution? This is what is being discussed privately in the big clapboard houses of faculty members around the Harvard Yard. The issue was defined by Waiter Lippmann, a distinguished Harvard graduate, several years ago. “If the universities are to do their work, he said, they must be independent and they must be disinterested...They are places to which men can turn for judgments which are unbiased by partisanship and special interest. Obviously, the moment the universities fall under political control, or under the control of private interests, or the moment they themselves take a hand in politics and the leadership of government, their value as independent and disinterested sources of judgment is impaired...” This is part of the argument that is going on at Harvard today. Another part is the argument of the militant and even many moderate students: that a university is the keeper of our ideals and morals, and should not be “disinterested” but activist in bringing the nation39。s ideals and actions together. Harvard39。s men of today seem more troubled and less sure about personal, political and academic purpose than they did at the beginning.

These clocks are sometimes set by the number of hours of light or darkness in a day, by the rhythm of the tides or by the seasons. One of the most remarkable of nature39。s living clocks belongs to the fiddler crab, that familiar beachdweller with tile overgrown claw. Biologists have long known that the crab39。s shell is darkest during the day, grows pale in late afternoon, then begins to darken again at daybreak. This daytime darkening is valu
