8 Takeaways From Harvard’s Task Force Reports
To the Editors of the CRIMSON:
Your account in today's CRIMSON of my remarks before the Harvard-Radcliffe World Federalists last night puts me in a very bad position by crediting me with the expression of an idea which was originally proposed by Dr. Ross A. McFarland, Professor of Environmental Health and Safety at the Harvard School of Public Health.
As I made very clear in my remarks last night, the idea that space exploration might replace war in consuming the thoughts and energies of men was first proposed by Dr. McFarland at a meeting of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences on Wednesday, December 14. I explained in detail Dr. McFarland's connection with space exploration, his eminence in the field of space medicine, and his reasons for bringing such a conclusion into his comments before the Academy last Wednesday. As reported in the CRIMSON, however, no mention at all is made of Dr. McFarland or his work... Eugene G. Rechow
