Quote for Today In the first half of the century, physics radically changed our understanding of physical reality and what we can do with it. The second half of the century belonged to the biologists , who may be changing what we can be. Einstein 's axiom is--The world is more apt to be destroyed by bad politics than by bad physics. A corollary is needed---- Good biology with out good philosophy will be a calamity.
From

Purpose This class of 1942 web site is an experiment to see how useful it might be amongst the many other means for class communications already afforded by the Naval Academy Alumni Association (AA). This service includes information about and for classmates - grad and non-grad - and widows of those classmates.
In detail, the AA publishes a hardcopy set of
class notes, and a hardcopy class directory.
The AA web site supports sections that provide for many tasks: an ability to download a class list, to send
out a class e-mail at the push of a button, to see the class financial report,
to update one’s address etc. , to post sea stories written by classmates,
to post a class history, to create a poll of all classmates and widows on any
on specific topic, to use a message board to exchange messages on any subject,
whatever, and finally to look up the address, e-mail and telephone number of any graduate or any widow of any classmate
from any class.
The above represents a significant service which is hard to improve on. Whether or not, a class specific web site can add to all of the above is the question to be asked by this new effort to publish a class of 1942 web site.
