We offer a challenge to graduate students of all departments to give a short presentation answering this question on the basis of what their discipline presupposes, in undertaking its research, about the nature of the human being. Normally, these presuppositions are in the background of graduate studies: we are asking you to bring them to the foreground for interdisciplinary discussion. The challenge being presented asks graduate students to bring to the sympo­ sium the discipline-related assumptions about human beings which inform their scholarly undertakings. For exa mple. what do graduate students of history presuppose about the nature of human beings such that their studies are meaningful? Symposium Format On March 10, the Graduate Students' Association. in collaboration with the School of Graduate Studies. will present a full-day symposium of presenta­ tions. This symposium will be composed of three sessions (four 15-minute presen­ tations and a general audience discussion per session). followed by a fine arts The Stingers men's basketball team; ranked second In the Canadian Inter-university Athletic exhibition and reception.
