Colleges Will
Offer More Of
The Humonities

NEW YORK, (GlobaD. - The
need for including more of the hu-
nanities in college curricula has
become increasingly recognized
during the last quarter century,
and especially since the discovery
of the hydrogen bomb. And now,
according to current reports, and
by no means too SooR it apepars
that something real and tangible
is going to be done to meet the
need. This bolstering trend whose
virtue speaks for itself, shows in
programs for curricular revisionS
taking shape in some of the eastern
colleges, and in the increase in the
number of grants made by some
of the worlds richest foundations
for the purpose. Another observa-
ton is the tendecy on the part of
technical schools to collaborate
with liberal arts institutions in
order to annex humanities courses.
One of the several cases in point
is the Parsons School of Design, 136
E. 57th ST., New York City. This
institution, with the aid of a gift
from the Fund for the Advance
ment of Education, a Ford Founda-
ton unit, hopes to devote more
attention to liberal arts, especially
the humanities, according to Dean
Norman B. Boothby, supervisor.
Mr.. Boothby said in a recent edi-
ton of the New York Times, "WeI
realize that we will not be teach
ing the usual complete cources in
academic disciplines, but we be-
lieve that we can develop a process
by which the individual ac-
quires the attitude which allows
him to find and communicate the
fact that meanings of life are out
groWthS of cultural tradition. We
hope further to be able to increase
the design ability of the Individual
student by placing emphasis on
the intellectual as we'll as the tech
nical dimensions of the profession
al problems, and that this can be
done in a cultural context which
does not conflict with, but rather

PRESENT PLAY
FOR CHILDREN
"SnOw White and the Seven
Dwarfs" Given by Child
ren's Theatre of u. of ID.
AT SCHOOL AUDITORIUM

Anyone who thinks there is no
magic in make-beleve for the
children of today should have been
in the auditorium of the Smyrna
School last Wednesday afternoon
when "Snow White and the Seven
Dwarfs" was presented by the
Children's Theatre of the Univer-
sity of Delaware. The auditorium
was packed with more than $50
students from all grades, elemen-
tary and secondary, many of
whom had never before seen live"
theatre of the high standards set
by the university group. The sets
showing the Queens palace, and
the home in the woods of the sew
en- dwarfs, were beautiful and
imaginative, and the talking nirr-
or became real before the child
ren's eyes; the costuming was per-
feet. Probably the children were
most captivated with the court
jester, Jollo, who played close to
the audience when looking for
Snow White, with the excited pu-
pills calling to him that they knew
where she was, as they actually
lived the story. The cruel step
mother became a reality, also, and
the seven dwarfs actually looked
like dwarfs with their picturesque
and colorful costumes, and each
with his own special personality
and flavor. The murmured re-
marks of the young boys and girls
as they sat enthralled by the fairy
tale were evidence of their emo
tional excitement.
