1970 The Blurred Vision (continued)

This brings us to the incident re- ported in our text. The trek from Egypt to Canaan in the original Ex- odus was interrupted when Moses sent twelve men, one from every tribe and each a leader, to spy out the Promised Land. They traveled from south to north and back again, investigating the land, the people, and the cities in which they dwelled. Then came their report. It is a land that "flows with milk and honey. Nevertheless the people be strong that dwell in the land, and the cities are walled, and very great, and moreover we saw the children of Anak there." Caleb's remonstrance, "Let us go up at once, and possess it," had no effect, for the people were in their own sight as grasshoppers, and so they were in the sight of others. We all seem infected with a grass- hopper neurosis. Someone has defined neurotics as those who build dream houses, psychotics as those who in- habit them, and psychiatrists as those who are said to collect rent off them. We are not psychotic: we have not lost all touch with reality. But we have

all the emotional disorder of the neurotic, the feelings of anxiety, ob- sessional thoughts, compulsive acts, and groundless complaints. We have simply become dysfunctional, quailing before the sons of Anak. The first evidence of this is the paralysis of leadership, especially the paralysis of liberal leadership at the present moment. Some of you will re- member Harry Ashmore's book, An Epitaph for Dixie. His thesis is that the problems for the past fifteen years have arisen primarily because those who, through training, background, experience, and gifts, should be lead- ing have refused to exercise leadership and, therefore, the extremists, the strident voices, the little men with the bitter and mean spirits, have moved to the forefront to fill the vacuum.

The Fourth "FT— Research

During the past few months there has been ment is fairly common; it is frequently a a rather vigorous study on campus of the research paper involving primary sources, factors that contribute to academic excellence. collation of the facts, and some

member. While the faculty member is primarily a teacher—obligated to fulfill all the respon- sibilities to the college which that term implies--he or she is also a philosopher, or a writer, or a chemist, or an artist, etc. Hence, most people who pursue the academic life play a multiple role of disseminator of informa- tion and ideas, accumulator of facts, and/or creator of some contribution to the knowledge and beauty of the world. This infers, there- fore, that those who assume this multiple role may make excursions into "uncharted waters" of man's knowledge—and pursue research that is not necessarily a part of the labelled curriculum of the college, but is a fundamental part of their very being. Im- mediately, we are confronted with the usual dilemma of precise definitions collapsing into situational descriptions— research of the "non- obligatory" nature is non-obligatory only from the viewpoint of the structured curriculum. Assume that there are some individual students who share the faculty members' interest in exploratory study. This is, in fact, a valid assumption. A question arises regarding the variety of means of satisfying these ambitions of inquisitive students. Typically, the student wants to learn the processes of investigation and bases of interpretation of the results--thus, be a part of Westheimer's "intellectual adventure." The inquisitive student wants to probe and discover new relationships that are not always included in the course material with which she comes Paula Hendricks Culbreth checks fluorescence of som in contact. If allowed to pursue this avenue biological compounds. of learning, the student gains new insight into the whole educational process and acquires a new perspective, which is at least partially cognizant of the extent of man's knowledge. This type of pursuit is instructional, satisfying, and extremely valuable as an adjunct to the more formal curricular processes. experiments, evaluate data, and interpret

Agnes Scott in the World

By VIRGINIA BREWER, Agnes Scott News Director

Dr. Willie White Smith ('27) earned early high praise from Dr. Mary Stuart MacDougall, Professor of Biology, Emeritus. Dr. Smith studied under "Miss Mac" as an undergraduate and went on to earn her master's degree in the Zoology Department of Columbia University, where Miss Mac had earned her Ph.D. Dr. MacDougall mentions as another similarity in their careers summers spent at the great marine biological laboratory in Woods Hole, Mas- sachusetts, where Dr. Smith took her first graduate work and where Dr. MacDougall spent enough summers to call it her "second home." Dr. Smith has obliged us with information for this column, asking that her biographical summary be addressed to Miss Mac, who "as all her students know, was a truly great teacher and mentor." That summary includes early work in the research laboratories of such notable figures as Nobel prize winner August Krogh and Homer Smith; the Ph.D. earned at Columbia's College of Physicians and Surgeons; and teaching positions at Hunter, N.Y.U., and Smith College.

This is a "seek her own identity." That was a relatively feminine version of the same parental new phrase then. Translated from academic experience, with Sandra Dee as the daughter jargon into down-to-earth language, it became who leaves a suburban middle class home to

This new individualism, which seems to be Interestingly enough, despite occasional the dominant strain on the American campus explosions and fatherly rumblings about long today, is something my generation called for hair and beads and bare feet, parents all over twenty years ago.

and I still like long hair better on girls than on boys. But I accept the fact that styles of hair and dress are matters of personal taste, and consequently the privilege of the individual to decide for himself. Unfortunately, society has indeed taken too literally the old maxim that "clothes make the man". There are still many people who simply cannot tolerate deviation in appearance; for example, more than one member of the middle-aged contingent has taken the time and trouble to write me scathing letters about the hair styles of the Davidson basketball team. The current generation tells us, and rightly so, that society has placed too much emphasis on what is outside and not enough on what is inside.

It has also justifiably criticized our intoler- ance of different life styles. The study of anthropolgy has long made it clear that different societies have different values, and consequently different attitudes and customs, but within our own society most of us have been unable to tolerate the bizarre and unconventional. The fact that many young people reject "accepted" values today has forced us to question the patterning to which Dr. Samuel R. Spencer, Jr. we have subjected each succeeding generation as it has come along. It has also made us look critically at the essence of personhood which stunt the growth potential of human and emphasized all over again that life style beings. We who are no longer young do not has nothing to do with the intrinsic worth of like war, racial discrimination, hunger and the individual. poverty— all forms of human misery—any

Today it is an urgently relevant question ... one that is uppermost in the minds of campus offi- cials. For institutions that depend upon public confidence and support for their financial wel- fare, their freedom, and their continued exist-

ence, it is perhaps the ultimate question: Are Americans Losing Faith in their Colleges?

A SPECIAL REPORT I am writing to explain my resignation from the Alumni Schools Co: Dear mittee and the regional committee of the Capital Campaign. I can no longer make a meaningful contribution to th< programs. To be effective, I must be totally committed. Unf President tunately, as a result of changes at Z University over the past f years, I can no longer conscientiously recommend the univers

to students and parents. And I cannot with enthusiasm ask my fellow alun X: to make financial contributions when I personally have decided to withhi my support. Like many alumni and alumnae, I have been increasingly concerned o

the manner in which the university has permitted the student body to ti over the "running of the store." Even worse, our colleges and universil seem willing to have them take over the country. I am not anti-youth, bi

do not believe that there is something magical about being 18 or 20 ye

old that gives students all the correct answers and an inherent right to imp their views about everything on the rest of us. The faculty has clearly deia

strated that it is unwilling or unable to exercise moral leadership and, inde has often guided the students into actions that are irresponsible at best dangerous at worst.

The university, it seems, is easily intimidated by the students into suppc ing strikes, canceling classes, disregarding academic standards, and repress

individuals and groups who speak for the so-called "establishment." By f

ing to take a stand and to discipline those who violate campus rules, you h; encouraged an atmosphere in which laws, traditions, and basic moral val are held in contempt by growing numbers of our young people. I fear for the existence of Z University as a forum for the free discuss of ideas. A great chorus of anti-establishment rhetoric has issued fron vocal left-wing group on the campus, supported by ultra-liberals on?/

faculty. I am afraid the university has abandoned its role of educator, to

come a champion of partisan politics. And this bodes ill for our democn society.

All of this may sound like the rantings of a hard-hat conservative. But i the measure of the situation on the campus that one who has always b rather liberal politically can sound like a reactionary when he takes issue w the radical students of today. Sincerely, Alumnus Y _

I am very sorry to lose the services and support of an alumnus who Dear worked so hard and so successfully for Z University. I am equally sorry t you seem to have lost confidence in the university. An institut

of higher education depends on its alumni and alumnae Alumnus understanding and support even in the quiet times. In troub days like these, there is nowhere else to turn.

I won't try to persuade you to accept any assignment or even to contii Y: your financial support. But I do feel compelled to comment on your loss faith in the university. Your concern obviously centers on such perplexing and basic questions the rights and responsibilities of students and faculty, the problems of cam] governance, and the danger of politicizing the university. We certainly sh

your concerns. It is tempting to long for the good old days when proble

/ were not so complex. But in fact these are serious problems to which there are no easy answers. We wrestle with them every day. You are certainly right to be worried about the existence of this university

(and all campuses) as a forum for the free discussion of ideas. There are many who would use the American college or university in a political struggle to advance their own political ideas. Even well-meaning students would do so, because they do not understand the dangers of such action. Those of us charged with the responsibility must fight with all our wit and strength to prevent that from happening.

I do not think we can win by using force or repression. Rather, we must continue to work with students to convince them that their efforts to politicize the university can destroy it, and this would be terribly costly to society as a whole. When and if the line must be drawn, then we will draw it and deal with the consequences. But we will do everything we can to avoid actions that will limit our options and bring about the violence and polarization that have crippled some great institutions.

It is clear to me that the colleges and universities in America are, to a very considerable degree, reflecting the problems and divisions of the larger society.

That can be unpleasant and painful, but it is in some ways a proper and very useful role for a college or university to play.

Consider, if you will, society's other institutions. Can you think of any that are not in similar turmoil? The church, the public schools, the courts, the city halls, the political parties, the family—all of these institutions are also feeling the profound pressures of change, and all are struggling to adapt to problems and needs that no society has ever faced before. If we as citizens and mem- bers of these institutions respond simply by withdrawing from them or repu- diating them, then I fear not only for the future of our institutions but for the future of our nation. Disraeli once said, "Individuals may form communities, but only institutions can make a nation."

T.his university is indeed involved in the controversy which en- gulfs America and from which progress and constructive change will one day come. Our students and faculty are indeed concerned and vocal about the rights of their fellow citizens, about the war, about the environment, about the values of our society. If it were otherwise, our alumni and alumnae would certainly be justified in refusing to support us. Very simply, Mr. Y, the current generation of young people will one day run this nation. They are here and cannot be traded in for a quieter, more polite, more docile group. Nor should anyone want to trade them in. This university cannot abandon them, or isolate them, or reject them. Our mission is to work with these young people, to sensitize them, humanize them, edu- cate them, liberate them from their ignorances and prejudices. We owe that to the students, but even more to the country and to our alumni and alumnae.

The course is uncharted, to be sure; it will be uncomfortable at times and somewhat hazardous in spots; but it is the only course a great university can follow. I'm sorry you won't be on board. Sincerely, President X

Welcome Carey and Carol

On July 1 the Alumnae Office welcomed two

additions to the staff. Carey Bowen '62 was appointed Associate Director of Alumnae Affairs. She holds the MA Degree from the University of North Carolina, and brings a variety of experience and much enthusiasm to her new position. Carol Banister Kettles '71 married two days before she was graduated this lune. She will be Assistant to the Director of Alumnae Affairs and her main duties will consist of recording and coordinating the Annual Fund. We're happy to have Carey and Carol aboard.

70 is still with us. The decade of the seventies may well be the most important one in the history of the College. We shall continue to work diligently in the area of fund-raising— to increase donors and dollars; we shall seek to broaden

and strengthen our work with all alumnae, especially those outside the Metropolitan area, adding some new dimensions to our programs (such as using alumnae in recruitment); and we shall try to keep alumnae current with the

College as it is today through the Quarterly and club programs. These are our concerns and our aims.

Agnes Scott Wins Award

Agnes Scott was presented a check for $1,000 by the United States Steel Foundation at the meeting of the American Alumni Council held

in Washington in July. The award was for sustained performance in alumni giving.

Selected by a distinguished panel of judges, the winners were |udged on the amount raised

in the annual fund, the number of contributors, levels of giving, the purposes of the funds raised, and the efforts to sustain and improve alumni giving.

claimed that he heard, "Gosh, I never would have known her." However, we did recognize each other; and we were eager to believe the young student who, upon seeing 1946 on the name tags, said, "but you don't look that old."

After lectures in the morning, fifty-two of u.1 attended the annual Alumnae Luncheon. Dr. Alston delivered an eloquent speech describin Agnes Scott and her needs in 1971. After the luncheon, we shared pictures of our various off-spring, each secretly believing that her own were the most attractive. Later, during a tour of the campus, admiration for the impressive new buildings was tempered somewhat by a bit of nostalgia as we passed Rebekah and Inman. Class President Margie Naab Bolen presidec at the anniversary dinner at the Swan Coach House on the grounds of the Atlanta Historical Society. (Yes, the location did seem appropriate.) The ratio of men to women paralleled that of some of our war-year dinner at ASC. The husbands were good, however, and listened patiently to our reminiscences. Prizes went to Maggie Tools Scheips from Milwaukee for having traveled the longest distance; to Dot Spragens Trice for having the most children—seven; and to Margaret Scott Cathey for the most grandchildren of those present—one. With sadness, we remembered our classmates who have died an those who were unable to come for this occasion. Finally, we agreed that maybe in ten years we would again have the fortitude to face the excitement of another reunion. Happy Anniversary ASC 1921-1971
