Telling MIT’s Stories; Making MIT Connections


In 1948, Boston Mayor James Curley pled for help from MIT President Karl Compton in getting rid of the winter’s heavy snow by any means, “fl ame throwers, or chemicals, or otherwise.” A Slice of MIT blog post telling the story drew a record 27,761 views. In a follow-up, Slice reported Comp- ton’s thoughtful response—in essence, try salt.


T at’s a sample of the hundreds of stories about people, breakthrough research, and Institute lore the MIT Alumni Association published this year. Check out Slice of MIT, Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn to join the conversation!
