Woven into the fabric of man's existence is a fragile but enduring thread called creativity: elusive but ever present, it survives the alterations of the ages --sometimes frayed but never broken, sometimes lost but never forgotten. In the pages that follow, many minds are brought to bear on a single theme: the creative thread that winds through their own fields of music and poetry, science and pOlitics, teaching and medicine. It is no accident that these minds are gathered under the aegis of a single institution; either as alumni or as faculty members, the writers of this issue have come in contact with creativity at the University of Rochester, and have exer­ cised their own creative gifts on this campus and beyond. If each eye seems to see a little differently, then that too is a part of crea­ tivity. And the eye that reads is required to aid its own contribution: to see the similarity in things that appear to be different, and the difference in things that appear to be similar.

CREATIVITY IS A PART of the essence of true democracy. Through successive centuries, since the birth of this concept of government, man has striven to perfect the instrument by which he renders more viable, more effective, more enriching, the necessary relationship between those chosen to govern and those who have freely made that choice. Thus the status quo can never be accepted as an immutable way of life in the practical working of the democratic process. To so accept it would not only be a method of freezing the creative process into a state of inertia but would be a denial of the processes of growth, of change, of evolution that are the inescapable marks of a civilization which seeks constantly to perfect itself. The history of political parties in America stands as ample proof of this truism. Parties have been born, then have lan­ guished and have died, because the pressures of history--a his­ tory to which they were not attuned, or attuned only momen­ tarily, or to a limited degree-have, in a sense, sloughed them off, caused their decay and dissolution. The parties that have survived have done so because their roots are not merely in history but in the feelings, in the hearts and aspirations of millions of Americans. In the political field, as in other fields of human endeavor, the creative impulse is a spark without meaning unless there are minds ready to be set afire, unless what is to be created responds to both the temper of the people and the tempo of United States Senator Ken­ the times.

CREATIVITY tn the GEORGE ABBOTT

I THINK THAT CREATIVITY in the theatre is mostly a matter of style: that the creativity of this decade is the banality of the next decade. And then once in a while, we have an author so creative that he is ahead of the procession. And a man like Bernard Shaw writes the Cinderella story with such ingenuity that it can be a success as a play, and then be reproduced years later as a musical comedy and still seem to be fresh and ex­ citing. Basic emotions don't change very much. It is the man­ ner of telling them that makes the difference.

Already in 1821 Shelley was defending poetry against the charge that it was an archaic form of expression, and de­ fending the poets themselves against the claim that they were morbid semi-barbarians, not useful and reasonable people like mathematicians or politicians! In my opinion the lack of understanding of modern poetry, at least as we see it in those who respect the poet's function. is due not so much to the attitude just mentioned, but to an­ other, paradoxical factor: namely, the high degree of poetic creativity which has characterized this age.

A struggle goes on wherever one looks: here, the artist, trying to' em­ bellish an ugly world-be he architect, painter, designer, sculp­ tor, or craftsman; and there, the "non artists," distracted by a world of gadgetry, failing entirely to understand, use, and en­ joy the product of the truly creative people living among them. These two elements, in their mutual need for a true creative atmosphere, are more often found frustrating each other than helping each other.

15 Adviser on Africa President Comelis W. de Kiewiet has been appointed to a newly created National Advisory Committee on Africa. The committee, made up of people of known experience in African affairs, will consider such problems as the recruitment of American teachers for African secondary schools, the in­ crease of African students in the United States, ews Of the niversity youth service programs in Africa, and the means for improving the relationship between the U.S. and private agencies and institutions concerned with Africa. In December, 1960, at the invitation of Sec­ retry of State Christian Herter, Dr. de Kiewiet participated in the State Department's confer­ ence on international education and cultural affairs. A recent article by Dr. de Kiewiet appeared Biomedical Engineering Program in the Forum Section of the New York Herald Tribune, Sunday, January 8. The UR will establish this fall a biomedical engineering program leading to the Ph.D. degree in electrical engineering, with special application to the fields of medicine and biology. The new program will be directed by the College of Engineering in cooperation with the Medical School and other interested departments. Dr. Daniel W. Healy, Jr., Chairman of the Department of Electrical Engineering, will be in charge of the project. He will work closely with Dr. Lee B. Lusted, Associate Professor of Radiology, who was recently given a joint appointment as Associate Professor of Bio-Medical Engineering. A committee of members of the faculties of the College of Engineering, Medical School, and other departments on the River Campus, has been created to advise on planning for the new program. Ba ic to the establishment of this project has been the knowledge of Rochester educators that modern engineering techniques can be useful to fundamental studies in biology and medicine. As a consequence, a primary aim of the program will be to acquaint engineers with the numerous problems accompanying biological and medical research. The National Institutes of Health has awarded the University a grant of $254,407 for the establishment of the bio-medical program. The University of Pennsylvania and Johns Hopkins University, also awarded grants by the National Institutes of Health for a bio-medical program, will work cooperatively with the UR.

THE IM.PORTA CE OF POETRY, OR THE COMI G FORTH FROM ETERNITY INTO TIME

Beyond the image of the willow There is a willow no man knows Or watches with corruptible eyes.

Deep in a field where no man goes Nor bird flies The willow fronts an empty road.

The bird hovers in other skies: World where only these wings exist.

And elsewhere, alone, upon an abyss, The man is marching down a road

As the rays of the sun are drawn together By a curved glass and rekindled to fire So, to the poppies life and death, So does desire Draw them and bend them and bind them so, So the noise of the wings can at last be heard BUR IG BUSH -wood sculpture by the contem­ And the willow-image do grace to a bird porary American, Stuart Harwood, And the ghost on the roadway give them word was purchased for the permanent Not for forever, only a day. collection of Memorial Art Gal­ lery by the R.
