Success of last summer's "Humanities Seminar” points to a similar program for the sum- mer of l965. Seniors Kristi Wil~ liams and Dodi Holcher were last year’s participants. The seminar at LeMoyne was a part of a new program de- veloped by graduate students at iYaie University. Students from .Yale taught similar seminars throughout the South, designed to aid in overcoming the ”Cul- tural lag” in the education of Southern Negroes. The eighty Students at the LeMoyne sem- inar were chosen from the Ne» ro high schools in Memphis. . hey ranged from those enter- ing their sophomore year to those who had just graduated, but the majority were between their junior and senior years. Three students from Yale taught courses in history, speech, and philosophy, aided by Miss HolCher and Miss Wil- liamsl The two girls from Grin- neil, and one from Yale, lived in a college-owned house near the campus, which is in'the heart of the Negro district in Memphis They were paid $200 plus room and board for the iive- week seminar from money given for the program by var- ous foundations. They have al» so received six Grinneil credits tor practice teaching, after sub- mitting reports on their work by the Yale students they work- ed under and also the LeMoyne professor who set up the semi— liar. The courses were taught on a college lreshman level. All stu- ‘dents took each of the classes, and met together for a fourth hour assembly period. This hour was usually devoted to lectures or tours relevant to the courses. All of the LeMoyne campus facilities were avail- able to the seminar particia pants, and most of them stayed on campus the entire day. A 'drama workshop was held in at the college ities seminar” (1.) and Kristi Williams in the 1963 edition of LeMoyne’s ook for r teaching at a “Human- is high school students. die afternoon for those who were interested. Most of the others used the library facilities or swimming pool. - The content of all the classes was designed to develop skill in communication of ideas and the ability to deal with abstract concepts. The history course covered European history from the French Revolution through the causes of World War I. Em- phasis, was placed on ideas causes, and effects, rather than names and dates. Plato was the focal point of the philosophy classes. The relevance of his ideas to modern problems was emphasized throughout. The speech course concentrated specifically on the development of communication skills. Criti- cal reading, and the writing and delivering of speeches were the main activities. “The kids were remarkably motivated, interested, intelli- gent,” quick and receptive," Miss H o l c h e r commented. "They were a joy to teach,” Miss Williams added. Each stu- dent filled out an evaluation of the seminar at the end of the session, and the idea that five weeks had not been enough The mechanical details of a semester at LeMoyne are under the guidance of Dale B. Terry (Registrar). Arrangements are quitedetinite now, and the plan is ready to begin as soon as Grinneil students show their in- terest. Students who spend a semes- ter at LeMoyne will receive transfer credits toward. their Grinneli degree, These will ap~ \ ply much as summer school credits do: the hours would be added to the student’s record but the grades earned will not be added into his cumulative average. The normal course load, as planned by the com< mittee which set up the ex- change program, would be three LeMoyne courses plus a Grinneil independent project This, of course, is a flexible ar~ rangement, and could be changed to meet the needs of the individual student He would also be asked to submit an evaluation of his experience to the committee in charge within a month of his return to Grinneil, These evaluations will be used to guide adjustments of the academic mechanics of the program and in the selec- time appeared on almost all of the papers, Both girls considered their reception in the school and the town to have been very friend- ly. They were entertained fre- quently by various groups in the town, bouu Negro and white. The press was also very com- plimentary about the ii v e Northerners and their work. Some hostility was to u n d among the townspeople at first, but most of this disappeared as people realized that this group 'of college students was not working on voter registration. Although Negro-white relation- ships are said to be among the best in the South, the question of voter registration is still a very emotion-packed one. Speaking at the YWCA coffee- hour on LeMoyne, and during informal discussions, both Miss Holcher and Miss Williams are completely enthusiastic about their five weeks at LeMoyne then there 1964 There are issues, and Look to the VARSITY NEWSTAND for Ci” the issues Grinneil Harald Register.

Applications for a semester at LeMoyne should be turned in to Terry, although the actual selection will be made by a faca uity-administration committee. Applicants would usually have to be sophomores or juniors, although seniors may be con- sidered in unusual circuma stances. The applicant’s grade pomt‘ will not be weighed as heavily as it is in most ex- change programs, although he should be well within the re- quirements of a Grinneil de< gree candidate. The actual se— lection will be based much more upon subjective factors and the°student’s reasons for applying. Applications should include a statement of purpose (what he expects to accomplish and contribute), a proposed list of courses to be taken, and an outline of the area of re- search for the independent pro- ject. They should be in to Terry by Nov. 1 for those who desire to attend LeMoyne second se- mester. The financial arrangements or the exchange provide that the student will pay Grinneil tui- tion costs and room and board at the LeMoyne rates, These will vary according to arrange- ments, but should average about $200 for the semester. Barring any unusual circum- stances, a student’s scholarship and loan would be applied to the tuition he would owe at Grinneil. Accommodations will be arranged individually, but will probably be in one of two college/owned homes near or on the campus It is possible that a student may be able to live with a family in the neigh- borhoodl Up to four Grinneil students will be allowed to at- tend LeMoyne in a given se- mester.
