Utopia, you might say, but actually it was just the Tufts-Newton Summer Seminar which was inaugurated last summer under the theme of The City: Its Problems and Prospects. The Seminar, sponsored by the Lin- coln-Filene Center for Citizenship and Public Affairs of Tufts and the Newton Schools, was co-directed by Dr. Bradbury Seasholes and our own Richard C. How- land. The staff included Mr. Gartner. Thirty-nine students Ctwenty white, nineteen Negroes! were recruited from Boston, Newton, and Belmont. They came from a great variety of socio-econ- omic backgrounds, and represented all ranges of academic performance. The Seminar lasted thirty days and consisted of classroom work, field ex- periences, and a work project, the group spending eight half-days repairing and painting fences, cleaning litter, and doing landscaping work in the Roxbury area. Another typical week included a Lewis Mumford film, a lecture on the transpor- tation crises, a luncheon in Swampscott,
