Quotation of the Day for February 7, 2011"I am very desirous that the Institute of Technology have a competent group of engineers make an immediate study as to ways and means of removing the huge accumulation not only in Boston, but throughout the entire state, whether it be by the use of flame throwers or chemicals or otherwise, so that we may have a gradual disposal when it starts to melt rather than having disastrous floods as a consequence of its melting with great property damage and with injury to the public." - James Michael Curley, Mayor of Boston, in a 1948 letter to Karl Compton, MIT President.
