THE PAST FIFTY, by Notable ClassmatesA NOTE FROM THE EDITOR OF THE CLASS OF 1965's 50th CLASS BOOK (C.L.C.)The editor asked a number of classmates who have distinguished themselves in their careers to look back over the past half-century and reflect on the salient developments they have witnessed in their chosen fields of endeavor. He sought to focus on subjects of broad interest and importance to the larger society that have undergone significant change during our lifetimes. If the selection of topics seems somewhat eccentric, it is both because of the editor’s idiosyncratic preoccupations and because some of the desired authors were not available. Nonetheless, it is hoped that these collective observations and ruminations will add depth and perspective to the individual autobiographical accounts that follow later in the 50th Reunion Class Book.—C.L.C.Sounds of ’65REFLECTIONS ON PRINCETONA Half Century of Princeton, by John V.
