Dimitri Moisevitch: Neatness! It's a good quality. You'll make someone a fine wife! You are Dr. Heywood Floyd?
Dr. Heywood Floyd: Who the hell are you?
Dimitri Moisevitch: I'm Moisevitch. I'm here to talk to you about your problem.
Dr. Heywood Floyd: Really? What problem's that?
Dimitri Moisevitch: You were chairman of the National Council on Astronautics. Now you are a schoolteacher. This was by your own choice?
Dr. Heywood Floyd: Chancellor of the university. It pays better.

Space Makes Ideal Venue For Peace
June 29, 1995
Remember the U.S.-Soviet "space race''? The race pitted two superpowers who hastily and wastefully competed with each other to be first, biggest and best in outer space. On the surface, it was a peaceful race. Underneath, both sides were trying to boost their capacity to spy on each other and make war.
Both nations won - and lost.
Astronauts and cosmonauts died and rockets and space capsules were destroyed because of faulty engineering as scientific judgment and quality control were sacrificed in the rush to be first.
America collected the big prize - the achievement of landing on the moon and returning men safely to the Earth. America also led in unmanned exploration, particularly the 12-year Voyager 2 mission that looped around Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune, providing spectacular close-up pictures of the solar system.
But the Soviets grabbed the lead in development of a permanent manned space station, Mir (meaning "Peace''), launched in 1986, and the record for sustained existence in zero-gravity, 141/2 months for cosmonaut Valery Polykov.
Today, the space race is a dimming memory as Russian and American astronauts and cosmonauts continue space exploration marked by welcome cooperation, not unhealthy competition.
Today at 9:05 a.m., the 105-ton space shuttle Atlantis, with five Americans and two Russians aboard, is set to dock in orbit with the 123-ton Mir. After five days of experiments and a partial exchange of crews, Atlantis should return home on July 7 to complete America's 100th manned space flight.
The only other U.S.-Russian docking occurred in July 1975, when the Apollo and Soyuz space capsules met in orbit.
Seven more Atlantis-Mir dockings are planned during the next two years, letting space explorers from two nations fine-tune the hardware and the techniques needed to build an international space station starting in 1997.
Say goodbye to the space race as another unlamented Cold War relic. Say hello to a new era of international unity, cooperation and a shared commitment to true peaceful exploration of the cosmos.

UNIVERSITY OF SOUTH CAROLINA
Our History
Founded in 1801, then-South Carolina College flourished pre-Civil War, overcame postwar struggles, was rechartered in 1906 as a university and transformed itself as a national institution in the 20th and 21st centuries.
South Carolina College, est. 1801
The Palmetto State established South Carolina College — the precursor to the University of South Carolina — on Dec. 19, 1801, as part of an effort to unite South Carolinians in the wake of the American Revolution. South Carolina's leaders saw the new college as a way to promote "the good order and harmony" of the state.

South Caroliniana Library
Beginnings at Rutledge College
The Caroliniana's facade in mid-20th century. South Carolina College, chartered in 1801, began classes on January 10, 1805 in what is now called Rutledge College, which hadrooms for lectures, sleeping accommodations for both students and faculty, a chapel, a laboratory, and a library. Upon the opening of South Carolina College, about $3,000 was spent to equip the library with its materials. On February 10, 1804, a public announcement was circulated to newspapers and published in Boston describing the library of South Carolina College: "Library will open with near 5000 volumes, in all branches of learning. The whole of which, we are informed, is expected out of London in the spring of the present year." A visitor to the campus in November of 1805, Edward Hooker, wrote in his diary that only 3,000 of the 5,000 books purchased for the library had been delivered. He questioned the selection of many of the works, and thought there were too many modern works of an "ephemeral" quality. He also wrote, "There are large piles of periodical works, such as the Gentlemen’s Magazine, European Magazine, Annual Register, and others of no more solid worth than these. Some handsome editions of the Greek and Latin Classics and translations--A few books written in the Oriental languages."

Joseph Bertrand
FRENCH MATHEMATICIAN AND EDUCATOR
Joseph Bertrand, in full Joseph-Louis-François Bertrand (born March 11, 1822, Paris, France—died April 5, 1900, Paris) French mathematician and educator remembered for his elegant applications of differential equations to analytical mechanics, particularly in thermodynamics, and for his work on statistical probability and the theory of curves and surfaces.
The nephew of the mathematician Jean-Marie-Constant Duhamel, Bertrand was also related by marriage to the mathematicians Paul Appell, Émile Borel, Charles Hermite, and Émile Picard. Bertrand graduated from the École Polytechnique in 1839 with a doctorate in thermodynamics and continued his work in engineering at the École Nationale Supérieure des Mines while teaching at the Collège Saint-Louis. He later also taught at the École Normale Supérieure, the École Polytechnique, and the Collège de France.
In 1889 Bertrand’s research on infinitesimal analysis led to his important work, Calcul des probabilités (“Calculus of Probabilities”), which introduced the problem known as Bertrand’s paradox concerning the probability that a “random chord” of a circle will be shorter than its radius. His name is also associated with Bertrand curves in differential geometry.
The author of several mathematical textbooks, Bertrand also wrote the books D’Alembert (1889) and Pascal (1891), as well as a number of biographical essays. He was the editor of Journal des Savants (1865–1900) and contributed many popular articles on the history of science. In 1856 he was elected to the French Academy of Sciences, where as sécrétaire pérpetuel, a position he held from 1874 until his death, his influence in promoting mathematics and mathematicians was strongly felt.
