In the fall of 1960, Aldous Huxley (author of Brave New World) was the Carnegie Visiting Professor of Humanities at MIT. Huxley’s time at MIT coincides with sweeping changes throughout the country and within MIT. Here is your chance to see a snapshot of what life was like at MIT during the 1960s and explore what national events affected life at MIT and, conversely, how the students and faculty at MIT shaped the 1960s. Come investigate documents, photographs, and other archival materials from the 1960s, held by the Institute Archives and Special Collections, to learn about MIT's journey into this "brave new world."
