We landed at Southampton on February 22. What a thrill it was to realize that we were actually riding through the magnificent countryside — the hedge rows on either side of the "dual carriage way" and the cozy inn at the "round about To us the green grass meant that spring had already begun. This was our first misconception, for we later learned that the grass is always green in England. Some- how, the gorgeous spring flowers in the window boxes seemed to be immune to the freezing weather and to the snows that we were to experience during our first two and a half weeks in England. No previous descriptions quite prepared us for some of the things we were to experience. Driving on the left hand side of the road, particularly at night, when only parking lights are used, was a constant challenge and source of amusement. We found it particularly surprising to have oncoming vehicles approach us from unexpected angles. We spent two weeks in London, Oxford and Cam- bridge, visiting points of interest that we knew would be crowded on our return visit in July.

It had increased our knowledge and our desire for know- ledge and our love for the wonderful people of those countries whose wonders we had explored. When we worshiped at the beautifully simple Re- formed Church in Begijnof Square in Amsterdam, where the pilgrims had worshiped before sailing to America, we sang these words of John Wesley: "O Lord enlarge our scanty thought To know the wonders Thou hast wrought; Unloose our stammering tongues.

By KARL WOLFE

Karl Wolfe, noted Mississippi artist and instructor of art since 1946 at Millsaps College, will present a program, "Religious Implications in Visual Art," Monday evening, April 29, in the assembly room of the Municipal Library.

Mr. Wolfe's presentation is included in the fine arts series sponsored by the library on Monday evenings, which will also feature a program by Jackson

author Eudora Welty April I. (Miss Welty, a familiar figure at Millsaps, will be

a guest at the upcoming Southern Literary Festival at Millsaps April 18-20.)

Mr. Wolfe gave permission to the editors to publish the following excerpts from his forthcoming lecture — a treat, we feel, for far-flung alumni unable to be in Jackson April 29 — and a teaser for the Millsaps group who will attend the event at the library. Mr. Wolfe will show slides to accompany his

talk. The art reproduced on these pages is an example of his work.

What would like to establish that since our religion is totally dependent on love, and since art has exactly this same dependence, then we can say that art and religion are very close: almost the same thing. For what we love most is really what we worship, no matter what we do on Sunday. At least we can say that the art impulse and the religious impulse originate in the same compartment of that mysterious apparatus we call the human soul.

Now this faculty to love is a most ordinary part

of every person's makeup . . . but if you had asked AAr. Robert Frost what he thought a man ought to do with this faculty, you'd find he had already given a quick and definite answer: "Man's got to love what's loveable and hate what's hateable." The Artist at work in his Studio

Our species has arrived at an age of fear, after what seems an incredibly short time on this planet. In our hands is the instrument of our destruction, which we are told could also operate to give the race of man undreamed benefits. This is our dilemma, and it seems that after centuries of prayer to be delivered from the wrath of God, most of us are too shame- faced to ask to be delivered from our own in- adequacies.

It has been said that the artists who painted these animals (on the cave walls at Lascaux, in southern France, 20,000 years ago) belonged to a race of people whose remains show them to have been magnificent physical specimens, . the ideal noble savage . . And when we learn that the Lascaux paintings represent a peak of achievement, followed by later paintings not nearly as fine and later ones worse still, we are confronted at this early date in history with a firm denial of the idea that progress has been one long unbroken development to our day, and that we sit on the highest peak of human achievement.

This idea, poetic to us, was to the planners of Gothic churches a glimpse of ultimate reality.

"Responsibility" has many meanings. It means, Let me go on record as saying that I believe all such among other things, to be ansvv'erable, to be accountable; views to be erroneous. If man is not responsible, if he t refers to an ability one may have to respond or answer does not have the power to create and to care, there is 'or his conduct.

It is feeling that is that the ability to feel is an inwardness or activity which lacking in our education, not ideas!

8 HE HOLDS a position of power equaled by few occu- pations in our society. His influence upon the rest of us—and upon our children—is enormous. WHAT His place in society is so critical that no totali- tarian state would (or does) trust him fully. Yet in our country his fellow citizens grant him a greater RIGHT degree of freedom than they grant even to them- selves. He is a college teacher. It would be difficult to exaggerate the power that he holds. HAS He originates a large part of our society's new ideas and knowledge. He is the interpreter and disseminator of the THIS knowledge we have inherited from the past. He makes discoveries in science that can both kill us and heal us. He develops theories that can change our eco- MAN... nomics, our politics, our social structures. As the custodian, discoverer, challenger, tester, and interpreter of knowledge he then enters a class- room and tells our young people what he knows—or what he thinks he knows—and thus influences the thinking of milhons. What right has this man to such power and in- fluence? Who supervises him, to whom we entrust so much? Do we the people? Do we, the parents whose children he instructs, the regents or trustees whose institutions he staffs, the taxpayers and philan- thropists by whose money he is sustained? On the contrary: We arm him with safeguards against our doing so. What can we be thinking of, to permit such a system as this?

For the teacher: special risks, special rights

NORMALLY, in our society, we are wary of per- sons whose positions give them an oppor- tunity to exert unusual power and influence. But we grant the college teacher a degree of freedom far greater than most of the rest of us enjoy. Our reasoning comes from a basic fact about our civilization: Its vitality flows from, and is sustained by, ideas. Ideas in science, ideas in medicine, ideas in poli- tics. Ideas that sometimes rub people the wrong way. Ideas that at times seem pointless. Ideas that may alarm, when first broached. Ideas that may be so novel or revolutionary that some persons may propose that they be suppressed. Ideas—all sorts that provide the sinews of our civilization. They will be disturbing. Often they will irritate. But the more freely they are produced—and the more rigorously they are tested—the more surely will our civilization stay alive.

THE AAUP's defense of academic freedom is based on a set of principles that its members have developed and refined throughout the or- ganization's history. Its current statement of these principles, composed in collaboration with the As- sociation of American Colleges, says in part: "Institutions of higher education are conducted sors and the Association of American Colleges have So effective is an AAUP vote of censure that most formulated this answer: permanent job security, or college administrators will go to great lengths to tenure.

Here is how one church-related university (Prot- estant) states such a "limitation" to its faculty members: "Since X University is a Christian institution supported by a religious denomination, a member of its faculty is expected to be in sympathy with the university's primary objective—to educate its stu- dents within the framework of a Christian culture. The rights and privileges of the instructor should, therefore, be exercised with discretion and a sense of

loyalty to the supporting institution . . . The right of dissent is a correlative of the right of assent. Any undue restriction upon an instructor in the exercise of this function would foster a suspicion of intoler- ance, degrade the university, and set the supporting denomination in a false hght before the world." Another church-related institution (Roman Cath- olic) teUs its teachers: "While Y College is operated under Catholic aus- pices, there is no regulation which requires all mem- bers of the faculty to be members of the Catholic faith. A faculty member is expected to maintain a standard of Hfe and conduct consistent with the phi- losophy and objectives of the college.

The maintenance of academic freedom, which is one of the principal interests of the national association, has never been an issue here because the position of the administration is in full accord with that of the faculty. AAUP was instrumental in secur- meetings. Other matters such as fac- ing the college's approval of the state- ulty housing, income taxes for teach- ment on Academic Freedom and Ten- ers, the establishment of an honor sys- ure which has also been approved by tem, and summer school salaries have the Association of American Colleges. been discussed.

The chapter has been concerned with faculty salaries and has secured college participation in the compiling of salary data to be included in the national AAUP Salary Rating Pro- gram. An item of constant interest has been the development of an insurance pro- gram which includes a variable an- nuity system: health, disability, and group life insurance, which have been instituted through cooperation of the business office and the administration. A thorough study of faculty teaching load has led to a move in the direction of a reduction in the teaching schedule. Another benefit has been the faculty tuition exchange arrangement which permits children of faculty members to be granted free tuition at partici- pating colleges and universities. The plan was endorsed by the local chap- ter and accepted by the administra- AT GRADUATION EXERCISES — Seated are Dr. Hans Rosenhaupt, tion. commencement speaker, with Dr. H. E.

27 Trustees Pay Tribute To Campbell

A. Boyd Campbell was awarded the B.S. degree from Millsaps Col- lege in 1910. On Wednesday, Feb- ruary 20, 1963, he died, ending a lifetime of service to the commun- ity, to the state and nation, and to his alma mater. On the day after Mr. Campbell's death, the board of trustees of Millsaps College met and adopted the following citation in tribute to the outstanding Mill- saps alumnus: THE BOYD CAMPBELL STUDENT CENTER — Scene of com- CITATION mencement exercises, June 2, 1963. in Millsaps College owes to no man But the real glory of his life cannot ing value, the present worth, and the this generation a more profound debt be determined by material calcula- great future of Millsaps.

It's a beautiful campus in the sum- mer—perhaps not the favorite of many who prefer the softness of spring or the richness of autumn — but beautiful, nevertheless. The days are long and hot, but there are compensations in the shade of thick foliage, in the soft- ness of carpets of grass, in the sudden coolness of a summer shower, in the often unbroken stillness of the cam- pus, in the peacefulness of dusk.

The pink and white of spring are gone, replaced by summer's greens and blues and yellows. Summer's col- ors are serene, giving lie to the in- tensity of the sun and the heat. Sum- mer itself gives an antithetical aura of intensity and lassitude.

Indeed, both moods prevail. Much work must be accomplished in the two five-week-long summer terms, a fact muted by the casual appearance of students and faculty. Much prepara- tion for the coming year is going on in the offices, but lack of pressure and deadlines give a seeming quietness. Many changes are taking place, as in the renovation of SuUivan-Harrell Science Hall and the building of a sorority lodge. In spite of the heat, many students engage in athletic ac- tivities such as swimming, golf, and tennis.

But the main atmosphere is seren- ity. Afternoons all one hears is the clack of typewriters or calculators or, occasionally, the roar of a lawnmower outside. Classes end at 12:10, and students retreat to the coolness and quietness of the library or to the com- Summer on the campus reveals scenes such as these — all self-explanatory. fort of the dormitory.

Approximately $350,000 is being spent to renovate Sullivan-Harrell Science Hall this summer. The build- ing will feature seven chemistry lab- oratories, five physics laboratories, five biology laboratories, eight faculty offices, and two lecture rooms. New equipment will be installed in new research laboratories. All classrooms, research laboratories and faculty of- fices will be air-conditioned. The electrical system will be completely reworked.

Revolutionary America Higher education came to a virtual standstill during the Revolution — every able-bodied male having enlisted for the duration. Since the ROTC was not yet established, college men were forced to have other qualifications for a commission, such as money. General George Washington was given an honorary degree by Harvard, and this helped see him through the difficult winter at Valley Forge. Since he gave no com- mencement address, it is assumed that he made a sub- stantial contribution to the building fund. Then again, mindful of the reputation he had gained through Parson Weems's spreading of the cherry tree story, he may have established a chair in ethics.

As for the drama, I cannot even guess. It is surely strong in the colleges, and the stock companies (freshly

stocked) are witness to that strength. I am minded, rather, of Dorothy Parker's account of a Benchley-Ross exchange in the New Yorker office. "On one of Mr. Benchley's manuscripts Ross wrote in the margin op- posite 'Andromache,' 'Who he?' Mr. Benchley wrote

back. You keep out of this.' " Perhaps I should have kept out of this dialogue. Q. Not at all. Someone may shift Mr. Benchley's "Who he?" to plain "Who? Me?" Someone who thinks that the ethos of college is still with him; who is rusting on his undergraduate laurels for whatever they were worth; who has neither found the time nor taken the trouble to form an exemplary taste for anything — in anything. You remember what a character in H. M. Puiham, Esquire said? "On leaving college (twenty-

five years ago) I started Gibbon's Decline and Fall of the

Roman Empire and Nicolay and Hay's Lincoln. I am still working on them in my spare time." Amusing, yes: but sadder than amusing — and pathetic in its sadness. A. The prevailing notion is that one passes through college on the way up — toward success, achievement, or som.e satisfying approximation. Under this assumption, the college appears as a point — a little gold star — on the curve: about twenty-one years out on the X hori- zontal axis. Interpretation'' Enter, exit the college. Agreed? No, that is wrong. It is, in truth, the basic tragedy. Ideally the college remains a function of the curve and not a point upon it — a determining factor of its ultimate character or direction. For example:

if against the X life-span you plot the vertical Y as the sum of special knowledge — what the individual knows in detail respecting many subjects — the peak of the curve may well reinain at twenty-one, since after grad- uation most diversified special knowledge tends largely to decrease. An honors student — a good student, for that matter — may never know again so much in several fields as he does in the final week of senior examinations. On the other hand, remembering Whitehead's disclaimer anent the value of "scraps of information," Y may (and should) assume a much nobler role — intellectual power, for one. Granting that, then, any moment on the curve will reflect the increasing functional share of the college in the value of the individual to himself and to society.

Bear in mind that the curve river down. But fortunately the river runs toward bigger and even better things — the fertile valley and the sea, for instance. You may flow with it or let it float things past you, as you wish. Poets frequently stand close to fishermen in thought. "Poets," says Archibald MacLeish, "are always wading and seining at the edge of the slow flux of language for something they can fish out and put to their own uses." Let me argue, then, that if we think of the college as a river in the slow flux of being, we shall always find something to fish out of it. Erstwhile students of such famous teachers as Churchill of Amherst, Winch of Wesleyan, John McCook of Trinity, Woodberry of Columbia, Strunk of Cornell, David Lambuth of Dart- mouth, Bliss Perry and Copey of Harvard have done such fishing and such finding. To this day I remember my high school teacher of German — rich in the culture of the Jewish race — shaking her finger at us, saying: "Never let a day go by without looking on three beautiful things." Trying not to fail her in life meant trying not to fail my- self.

Q. Are you suggesting that it is only between the best teachers and the most responsive students that this flux of being can be perpetuated?

A. Not at all. The great critic George Saintsbury said of Oxford: "For those who really wish to drink deep of the spring — they are never likely to crowd even a few colleges — let there be every opportunity, let them in- deed be freed from certain disabilities which modern re- forms have put on them. But exclude not from the bene- ficent splash and spray of the fountain those who are not prepared to drink very deep, and let them play pleasantly by its waters." Almost a hundred years ago, Andrew Preston Peabody, Acting President of Harvard, pleaded publicly for all those of "blameless moral character" who stood scholastically at the bottom of their class. "The ninetieth scholar in a class of a hundred has an appreciable rank," he said, "which he will endeavor at least to maintain, if possible to improve. But if the ten below him be dismissed or degraded, so that he finds himself at the foot of his class, the depressing influence of this position will almost inevitably check his industry and quench his ambition." Today, under the pressure of increasing competition, some reasonably good minds will function somewhere near the foot of every class. Pro- vided that they see the light, who else will be more avid to enjoy what Justice Holmes has called "the subtle rapture of a postponed power"?

Q. Perhaps it is largely the city which stands be- tween the college and the disciples. Within its arcane babel it is hard to distinguish echoes from that other world. And with days pressing in and time running out — in the city, in traffic, in confusion — doubly hard to
