Freshman Fall more than 40 ago:
Three classes...
Calculus
English 5 (massive focus on Paradise Lost-- see, e.g., reference in Animal House)
First engineering class: seminar on the history of the atomic bomb. Not just the science (physics)... all of it.
The latter two were somehow tied together that Fall.
At the time our College pres was an alumn of the Project.
The impact of that class still resonates.
Of course freshman Spring TMI happened and that same College pres took time off to run the president's investigation.
We are now poised on a different precipice.
I am tempted to see this new film... but also have trepidation.
