SYMPOSIA are usually esoteric meetings of unknown scholars who have their dry discussions perpetuated by publication in an obscure book or journal. But when a university enters its 201st year, symposia become spe- cial, and surprisingly interesting. Brown held three such meetings or one symposium with three ses- sions, as the program had it. Future Directions of the University was the first topic. A panel of university presidents, moderated by the President Emeritus of Brown, Henry M. Wriston, considered problems facing today's universities and col- leges: the tremendous growth of knowledge in recent years, the superficialities of a liberal education, and the resulting problems connected with too narrow a spe- cialization. Robert W. Morse, former Dean of the Col- lege, was chairman of the second symposium. He, v.f along with noted scientists in physics, mathematics, and the life sciences, discussed the increasing difficulty which teachers of science face - noting that with the ever increasing amount of scientific knowledge to be learned, there are problems with both a general and a specific method of instruction. The final symposium saw a discussion of the humanities. Noted Brown language professor Juan Lopez-Morillas chaired this panel, whose topic was the Future Directions of the Humane Studies and which was again concerned with the knowledge explosion. President Keeney concluded this session: Knowledge is a very difficult worm to hold on to; and when some one chops part of it off, the rest goes running away'' a comment aptly uniting the themes of Brown's bicentennial symposia.

L.B.J. was received in exchange for a bicentennial commemorative stamp. This exchange was given what appeared to be highly partisan support in a highly guarded and more highly packed Meehan Auditorium. Newsweek quoted one Brown student as saying, He talked down to us. Most of the campus did not feel this way, however. They took the simplicity of his speech for clear- ness and the brevity of it for preciseness. The content they took close to their hearts - especially those in the humanities - for they were promised their own national foundation. Education was what President Johnson had come to talk about, and this is exactly what he did. He described the federal com- mitment to education, its development and its planned expansion, how much it mat- tered, and how much he cared about it all. It was good to hear, and all hoped it was meant and would be accomplished.
