Mahoney cover design by Wadsworth "Bud" Hine of Springfield. 3 The People that Make Springfield College Special Why they came. why they remain . what they've learned along the way . There is a bestselling business textbook by Peter Drucker called Management: Tasks, Responsbilities and Practices. In it Drucker discusses in detail how organizations get peo­ ple to work. He covers the so-called "traditional" manage­ ment approach to employee relations: Theory X. It "assumes that people are lazy, dislike and shun work, have to be driven and need both carrot and stick." In contrast, notes Drucker, is Theory Y which II assumes that people have a psychological need to work and want achievement and responsibility." If Theory X of management was instituted at Springfield College the campus would be inundated with middle-level managers carrying clipboards. Each faculty office and class­ room would have a time clock. Each administrative office would be devising systems of awards and punishments to increase productivity. The end result would be the destruction of Springfield College as we know it today and as it has developed over the past 100 years. There is a sense of commitment to both the students and the institution that could never have been fostered by a management system based on the" carrot and stick." This is a very special issue of Springfield because it pays tribute to the Springfield College Family and takes a glimpse at how the members of this Family have built a college that is recognized and respected throughout the world. We pres­ ent on the following pages profiles of a small sampling of the people who each day devote their energies to educating the young; caring for the sick; counseling the troubled; planning for the future . In other words, working to make Springfield College a special place where learning to help people is given the highest priori ty. 4 5 JOHN cox: PSYCHOLOGIST Jrrhe students do have a special quality in terms of their concern for others.

"This is a hard time for everyone. It just looks worse Reasons for his long tenure on campus? One of them is because we are coming out of the 70's where there was a the faculty that he met when he was a student in the late surplus of funds. We just have to weather the storm and 1950's.

Psychological Services Department at the college. John also credits the GPS Department and its people for much of the reason why he's remained at SC for almost two decades. "They're very fine people to work with; people who have a sincere interest in human services and watching others grow," says John who was a communication specialist in the Navy, and Director of Admissions, Guidance and Alumni Affairs at Monson Academy, Monson, Ma., before coming to the Springfield campus. John compares today's campus with the campus in the late 60's, which he found "terribly exciting," "The campus was a really volatile place which some people viewed as being negative. Out of that conflict came a lot of positive things." Then too, during the time of campus unrest, John says there was a different king of mentality. liThe economy was booming; there were a lot of federal programs; students didn't worry about finding a job. Today, students are so concerned about getting skills for a job. There's an eargerness to obtain the knowledge that can be translated into the work force. And there's also a seriousness out there. Yet my feeling is that a sense of humor carries you through alot of the stressful issues in life," says the psychologist who is currently pursuing his Doctorate in Counseling at the University of Massachusetts. The Associate Professor says he sees the total growth of the college moving in a very positive direction, and cites the professionalization and addition of student services as 6 the years, but what stands out in my mind are the people like Henry Paar, or Holmes Vanderbeck, or Chick Weckwerth, who would take you into their homes and talk with you as if they'd known you all their lives. The main motivation here is the people and the atmosphere. If there's a problem, the people here try to work through it with you." In a way, Gerry says this is his description of the Humanics philosophy. "When you walk across campus there's always students who are ready to talk to you, or someone ready with a friendly wave. There's always someone to lend a helping hand./I Gerry admits that "Once in a while" he's been in situations where he's been less than happy, but "on the whole they don't last." How does the librarian feel about the growth of Springfield College in the past 14 years? He feels the physical plant is currently at its optimum. "1 don't think anyone can do any better than we have with the budget we're working with./I Academically Gerry says that in years past, he feels we may have "strayed a little too far from the core courses, although we are moving back to them now./I "1 agree, you need flexibility and you have to experi­ ment with innovative programs, but the core courses give people a bond ..

SMITH, Chief Judge. To people of a certain age, who grew up in the America of the 1960s and 70s — where television meant three channels and shows like Bonanza, Star Trek, and The Art Linkletter Show (more on that to come); where cars were made in America, period; and where phones were connected to wires, not cell towers — the Game of Life was a gangbuster hit found (it seemed) in every household in the country, alongside Twister, Clue, and Monopoly. In the Game of Life, the winner retires to “Millionaire Acres.” In this suit, life imitates art as the heirs of toy developer Bill Markham have sued over what they see as proceeds from the exploitation of the Game that they have been wrongfully denied. The Game of Life was inspired by the first boardgame invented by Milton Bradley himself, in 1860, called the Checkered Game of Life.

The first commercial blockbuster card game produced in Antebellum America was The Improved and Illustrated Game of Dr. Busby.1 (Figures 1 & 2) This game was devised by author Anne Wales Abbot, who was employed by the Salem, Mass. publisher W. & S.B.

  • Milton Bradley and the Life-As-A-Journey Crowd
    MILTON BRADLEY AND THE LIFE-AS-A-JOURNEY CROWD Through the efforts of the Reverend John Bunyan and the game manufacturer Milton Bradley (with some assistance from Seneca the Younger, Sir Thomas More, Samuel Johnson, Thomas Cole, and Louisa May Alcott), we have become infatuated with the conceit that our lives are best understood as “like a journey.” This perennially causes conceptual difficulties, there being any number of ways in which life is very different from a journey. For instance, typically we expect a journey to have an intended destination and, typically, the agenda of such a journey would be to arrive at its intended destination — but very few of us would seek to embrace warmly the attitude that their agenda in life was to die. Somehow, that seems like an analogy pushed too hard and too far. 1516 On his return to London, Sir Thomas More finished his UTOPIA. The white people he depicted as engaged in a game of life “not unlike our chess” that consisted of “a battle between the virtues and the vices.” According to this author, the local colored peoples did not need ever to get in the way of white agriculturalists, for they could simply be shoved aside for the good of all: The Utopian way of life makes the land fruitful enough for both groups, though previously it was too poor and barren for either. All natives who refuse to live under Utopian law are driven out of the colony and war is waged on the natives who resist. Utopians regard a war as just if it is waged to oust a people who refuse to allow vacant land to be used according to the very law of nature.
