Philosopher, Scientist, Social Scientist Look To Next Century My analysis of the basic problem of the next century as far as the life of the individual is concerned is that the intellect is doing brilliantly in fulfilling the practical side of our natures. It is falling down seriously in the companion task of helping to fulfill the passional side of our natures. —Huston Smith. One of the great questions of our time, therefore, is whether we can es- cape the war trap in which we are so dangerously caught. It is my opinion that war is indeed not inevitable and inescapable. It is not a natural ten- dency of mankind. Conflict and con- troversy, indeed, but war, no. I am firmly convinced that war can be eliminated as a basic international institution. —Charles C. Price. What the international system is like is a black bag with a lot of white balls in it and one black ball. Every day the hand of Fate goes down into the bag and every day up to now she ' s brought up a white ball. The black ball is there in the bag. And one of these days she ' ll bring up a black ball— Why don ' t we work on this now, and get this black ball out of the bag? —Kenneth E. Boulding.

In a sense the April 6-8, 1967, Symposium and Convocation was one hundred years in the making. These events marked the close of the 15-month long Centennial celebration which commemorated the one hundredth anni- versary of the founding of Lebanon Valley College. Throughout the Centennial observance, the en- tire college family paid tribute to the first one hundred years of Lebanon Valley College ' s history. But the final Symposium and Convo- cation departed from the past to glimpse briefly at the future, taking as its theme The Next Century: Crisis and Opportunity. Dr. Allan W. Mund, Acting President, in his first appear- ance before the student body, brings greetings at the opening of the Centennial Symposium. Participants in the Centennial Symposium included Dr. Carl Y. Ehrhart, Vice President and Dean of the College; Prof. Kenneth E. Boulding, Professor of Economics, University of Michigan; Dr. Huston Smith, Professor of Philosophy, Massachusetts In- stitute of Technology; Dr. Allan W. Mund, Acting President of Lebanon Valley College; Dr. Charles C. Price, University Professor of Chemistry, Uni- versity of Pennsylvania. Prof. Boulding spoke from the viewpoint of the social sciences, Dr. Smith spoke for the humanities, and Dr. Price represented the sciences.
