58 Dr. Haynes lectures on Literature in Freshmen Civilization. CIVILIZATION “And tor the next time read pages 264-351 in Gard- ner’—(or Warnock and Anderson, or Burgess, or Geise). So, off you went to the library and plodded through a merry-go-round of dates, events, pictures and stories, all the while wondering if this course caled Civilization could possibly mean anything to you. Some years ago a few Coker teachers decided from the evidence placed before them in the form of addled students (with gaps in their memory) that there should be one course that would “tie up” everything that a stu- dent was to study in four years of college. The result was Civilization. And oh, how those teachers and guinea- pig students suffered in such an experiment! They worked and discussed and planned, revised and edited, until there was proof in attitudes and examinations that this was something to be retained. And Civilization became a per- manent part of the curriculum —a cover-all— four-year course which furnished a backbone for all other subjects. But, my, how hard it was for you, the freshman, to see the real worth at first. You didn’t know what to expect when they told you you’d have a lecture and a class period on the same subject. You soon discovered that lecture meant “to write your hand off” and class meant to thrash out ideas given in lecture. Then you were introduced to Mr. Burgess and Miss Gardener, and you began to won- der if you ought not drop the course. “No, I’m sorry. Everyone MUST take Civ.” So you struggled to keep your head up. “No, not three of those chapters on a test at once! I'll never do it!” But you did, and things began to take shape. The dates and events began to spell out the causes and results of the rise and fall of nations. As you sat in the Fine Arts room and listened for hours to some of the world’s greatest music, you began to hear more than the melody. The number ot chapters on tests rose to four, to six, and still you hang on, sticking your nose further into the book and putting your shoulder closer to the grindstone. You realize you are thinking of things you’d never even dreamed of before. Endless questions, seemingly without answers, arose and its a wonder you weren't rendered permanently dizzy from thrashing around in all those philosophical circles. As you and your suite- mates frantically tried to solve all those “new” problems, you became more and more convinced that you really didn’t exist after all. You poured over Art Masterpieces and noted styles and colors. “Hey, why is this one Rem- brandt?” — “It’s not!” Uh, oh! Wrong again. But you kept at it, and if the noise at the art table subsided you could hear the click-click of the architecture slides being inserted in the slide machine, and the head, you hoped! Seven chapters on tests now and you almost threw up your hands and said, “That’s the last straw!” But you couldn’t quit because you were almost there. You'd spent hours in incessant study. You’d read, listened, observed; you'd analyzed and discussed. You had begun “in the be- ginning” and gone through mythology and factual sta- tistics, had a taste of the science, art, music, religion, and literature of many lands and learned about the lives of the men responsible for these. It has been a blur at first. A lot of work, or note-taking, of concentrating went into your puzzle. You studied your contemporaries, their lives, their conflicts, their problems, and tried to determine the effect they will have on coming generations. When the last piece was in place, you got the picture, clear and complete. Civilization was a developer of the sense, a useful, workable base for any other course you make take up, and an enrichment of your knowledge of life in all its phases.
