T IS OBVIOUS to us all that the The problem as I see it in the adult the signal is assumed to be a property I human body to function must be human, frog, or mouse if you like, is of the membrane. Since the membrane equipped with an elaborate and effective that of a complex organism composed of of each cell type has properties that dis­ signalling system or set of systems.

The result of the interac­ tion at the membrane is a rapid release of the already programmed machinery from the inhibition imposed by the "gov­ ernor."

6 THE SPRINGFIELD COLLEGE BULLETIN Spring coaches show Outstanding senior• athletes Surprising optimism The Spring Sports season will be just about completed as BULLETIN readers receive this edition of the College maga­ zine.

Coach Vern Cox, track, was most optimistic when interviewed before the start of the season. He predicted a great season for a team composed of sopho­ mores and juniors.

MAY, 1967 23 THREE COLLEGES IN CITY A notable yearning of the college stu· IN CURRICULUM COOPERATION dent of today is for a breadth of studies that cut a swath across academic disci· plines of a particular educational setting. A problem, how· ever, is that there is rarely an opportunity for such free· wheeling activity in the modern compartmentalized college. In the City of Springfield there are three excellent colleges which have pooled their scholarly credentials in an effort to overcome this shortcoming. Springfield, American International and Western New England Colleges have embarked upon a program of inter­ institutional cooperation for curriculum. The program, be­ lieved unique in the educational history of this city, was announced recently by the presidents of the three colleges, Wilbert E. Locklin, Adm. John F. Hines, Dr. Beaumont A. Herman, respectively - for the trustees of each insti­ tution. Curricular offerings among the three colleges encompass arts and sciences, business administration, engineering, health, physical education and recreation, community services and teacher education. Guidelines which have been established by the presidents, academic deans and registrars are as follows: TAKE CHARGE, COACH! Director of Athletics Edward Steitz, 1.
