MIT celebrated its 100th birthday during Centennial Week April 3-10, 1961, with a week long academic festival commemorating the granting of the Institute’s charter by the Commonwealth of Massachusetts on April 10, 1861.
The highlights of the week included a closed conference on scientific and engineering education, attended by as many as 100 international scholars, held between April 3 and April 5, followed by a three-day series of public panel discussions about world problems, which began on April 6. Topics discussed included: "How Has Science in the Last Century Changed Man’s View of Himself," "The Future of the Arts in a World of Science," "The Future in the Physical Sciences, Arms Control," "The Life of Man in Industry," and "The Future in the Life Sciences." A birthday banquet was held at the Statler Hotel in Boston on the evening of April 8. The week culminated in a formal academic procession and Centennial convocation on April 9 at which MIT President Julius Stratton delivered the final Centennial Week address. The festivities concluded with a performance of Haydn's "The Creation", by the MIT Choral Society, conducted by Klaus Liepman.
Among the participants in the celebration were Prime Minister Harold Macmillan of Great Britain, U.S. Secretary of State Dean Rusk, author Aldous Huxley, and physicist J. Robert Oppenheimer. Congratulatory messages were received from academic and scientific institutions from around the globe, some of which are displayed here. The Boston Globe and the Boston Herald published special supplements on MIT’s Centennial, and public television station WGBH broadcast most of the assemblies and addresses live.
