Contemporary Art Series. . . A new program offered to the College Community this year was the Contemporary Art Series. The group seeks to promote interest in the Arts both by discussion and partici¬ pation. Each month the group meets to discuss topics like “Communism and Modern Art,” “Rhythmic Movement in Worship” and the “Poetry of Wallace Stevens.” The group also presented a Christmas Assembly and produced Gilbert and Sullivan’s operetta, “Pirates of Penzance.” Meetings are often held in faculty homes. Dr. William Couch, Miss Evelyn Klinckmann, Barbara Roth and Mrs. Celia Marshall are part of a group in Miss Klinckmann’s parlour for Dr. Couch’s reading of Wallace Steven’s “Blue Guitar.” Colloquium. . . The faculty inaugurated a new program this year in the form of a formal discussion group—Colloquium. Colloquium meets once each quarter and this year had as its theme “Human Values.” The theme was approached through discussion of a different field each time: the arts, the social sciences, and the physical sciences. The sessions were held in faculty homes and were open to all graduate students and certain under¬ graduate students on faculty nomination.
