Friday. 'April 25. not; SCARLET AND BLACK THE NEW SCHOOL COLLEGE is the senior college of the New School tor Social Research. an urban university located in Greenwich village with all of New York city tor its camptis. There _are three main New School units. One is the Graduate Faculty. at leading center in the SocialScicnces that otters training to 2 40K! masters and doctoral \tudents under scholars like Economist Robert Heill’aroncr. Pclltlcal Scientist Saul x. Padover, and Philosopher Hannah Arendt. A second is the New School evcni g division. which provides a vast range of courses. workshops, and lectures tor some 12.000 New Yorkers annually. and serves as a maior cultural center tor the community-at- laree with programs of concerts, films, modern dance and art exhibitions. The newest unit is the NEW SCHOOL COLLEGE an undergraduate program, limited In 500 students. The College otters a tworyesr program ior students who have already completed their sophomore year elsewhere. and who are interested in earning their BA. with emphasis in humanities or social science, in a program which considers undergraduate education important in itself. instead of lectures. every class in the College is designed as n seminar, with about twenty students sitting around a table to learn through participatory discussion. instead or textbooks. the student rontronts the actual works produced by great minds of the past and the present—Aristotle and Sartre. Freud and Eriksont Sophocles and Pintera Marx and Marctise. Shakespeare and Picasso. Joyce and Antonioni. antead ct requiring its teachers to engage in specialized research and publi- cation, the College has a taculty whose primary eommltment is to teaching. and it trees them lrom extrinsic demands so that they can concentrate their talents on the instructional program. instead or taking a collection of unrelated courses, stttdents take a Divisional programea set ot courses designed by the laculty to fit together into a total educational experience, And instead or a t‘ iior." each student pursues his own Individual Study Program in which he investigates. in con derable depth and over a two- -year period a problem of his own choosing under the guidance ota tutor. The student. takes three year- 10 1; courses during his first year and two year- long courses during his second. Thi onstitutcs his Divisional Program. The rest of his time is spent in individual Stud- ies. which he initiates during his first year and pursues tor halt oi_nis time during his second year. THE DIVISIONAL PROGRA . Unlike most colleges. we are not divided into specialized departments like English History, or Psychol- ogyi We have only two Visions—the Humani- ties and the Social Sciences. The entering student normally elects to study in either the humanities or the social sciences. but may choose to work in both. The Significance uf this unorthodox Divi- Iiondl structure is twotold. It means that the student takes courses at an advanced level that are genuinely interdisciplinary rather than nar- rowly spectallzed. And it means that the student is free. in the Individual Study portion of his vrogram. to investigate a problem that defies the boundaries or conventional departments, perhaps cittting across philosophy and drama. orpsychology and economics. THE HUMANITIFS: The humanities com- prise all the creations of man—in music, paint- ing, and literature. in history, science. and philosophy. Yet at most colleges. a student who wishcs to study these creations at an advanced level must limit hinrselt arbitrarily to the study or a single kind. and even to a single country or period. There is no “department" at most colleges that will allow him to major in both Thomas Mann and Dostoyevskyi bolh Pinter and Proust. And even when he lirntts his study to one of these figurex. the intellectual tools lhat he requires for exploring the ideas ot that writer in depth can only be acquired by taking courses in sull other departmentsepnilosophy or theology or psychology. Simtlarly. a student who majors in the conventional Philosophy de- partment cannot develop. within his specialized courses, the aesthetic sensitivity that he need: to penetrate fully the philosophy of thinkers such as Plato and Nietzsche and Heidegger. whose philosophic visions are expressed by means ot image. myth. and dramatic action no less than by rational discourse. It is for these reasons that our study of the humanities is inn terdisciplinary rather than tragrncnted tntri de- partmental "maiors." We have designed a set of courses that fit together into a comprehensive iniestigation oi the creations ot man. It is possible tor us in a single course to iuxta‘pose a treatise by Kant, a novel by Earth and a movie by Godard in order to deal fully with the problem under lvt- vestigalion. The emphasis is less on assembling intornralton about particular works than on discovering the methods of understanding and apprectatton that can he applied to rriiy‘workr The goal is to provide tools of analysts that will extend the student‘s insight into the hue manitics when he pursues his own individual Study. Till: SOCIAL SCTENCES: The most worth- while research in the social sciences tends to involve two or more special s simultaneously. Sehumpcter was an economist but Criniiulirni, Smittil'rln and Dt‘lli‘acltlry as well ph o- sophtc. political and historical. Myrdal rs an economist. but The Alllcrlrnll Negro draws on many fields, Alclltlt is a philosopher. but 70- mlird 'uuiui is historical. sociological and my chological. And current client to understand such diverse phenomena as the underdeveloped nations. iascisnr. poierty. and hippies look to all or the social science discin net. We have thereiore constructed an trope eyel program in social science that is total y interdisciplinary. The emphasis is on rormulnting new prob- lems rather than learning the answers to old problem. on mastering the methods by which trtulr can he discovered rather than memo- ririne the truths already known. and on undere standing the seminal concepts that have proved to be especially suggestive in illuminating soe ei rl reality. The problems studied in this pro- gram as well as the read gs erha it no universe establish o canon lc. tloxy. They prov _ . whtLh the student can build th individual Study program. i y l l l l E: i THE INDIVIDUAL STUDY PROGRAM: Onerquarier of the junior year and o half of the senior year are reserved for indirtdual. izetl study. The student puriucs his own spe4 cial interests tinder the guidance of a iaculty tutor and by means or the analytical tools he is developing in the Drvisional program; his work generally culminates in a written paper. Some students form ther own seminars or cn< list members of the faculty to after special courses; others take eourses rrpm the rust programs, graduate. undergraduate. and adult,- available at the New School for Social tzca searchecourscs taught by such visiting special- ists as Paul Douglas Rollo May. Bayard Rustin. teslie Fiedler, Lee sirasberg. Allen Ginsberg: and others choose to work independently of any course structure. under the direct super» \‘l on or their tutors The possibilities tor in. rdual Study are i alcd by the strident hinrsclt and limited only by his imagination and intelligence. THE INTER-DIVISIONAL CORE: At the center of the Divisional Program are the courses in which students and inculty lrom both of the Divisions come together for inten- sive collaboration on common conccrns, Per< haps no other aspect of the College embodies as radical a departure {mm the dominant trends in American education as this one.uhich we call the lutepDivisional Core. its purpose is to discover new intellectual arts tor dealing with the problems nten coniront when they try to know and act, We conceive these in. at arts as modern adaptations ot the tberal arts." whose original lunction was men tronn old ways ot seeing and doing. The readings in these courses are drawn rrom all the areas or knowledge—humanilles. social sciencest natural sciences. and phllosnplly.Thcy are selected to shed new light on some of the tundanienial issues underlying all knowledge and activity. is es like the relation between fact and value theory and practice. subiec. tivity and obiectivity. thought and actio in a rigorous and serious manner. the courses in— vestigate qttet'tons lite thrsc: Are there “arts" or discover intellectual strategies for hitting upon new solutions to problems? Are there any "hard iacts" in the worlderacts that cant he altered by the perspective from which they are viewed? is there a method tor making one— srlt inln an innovator rather than a positive transmitter or outside forces? Thus PROGRAM is now three years old. it has drawn students irom (War 100 concert and universities throughout the u.
