Experimental Course on Agenda A new course, described by President Arthur E. Turner as a “unique Northwood idea to add dimension to your life, to your future,” became a reality with the first session at the studio of Alden B. Dow, noted architect. Designed to describe creativity and the various processes related to it, “Creative Behavior” (Philosophy 310) is a new course. Mr. Dow played a major part in development of the idea behind the creative behavior course, which was specially significant because it was developed during Northwood’s tenth anniversary year. The course teaches the concept of creativity, evolution of the processes of change, innovation and thinking related to creativity in individuals and stimulation and provision for the environment conducive to the functioning of creativity. The first sessions topic was “Man and His World—The Philosophical Need for Creativity.” The guest lecturer was Mr. Dow. Dr. W. Victor Bielinski led the discussion be- tween the ten students enrolled in the first class meet- ing in Mr. Dow’s studio with President Turner and Execu- tive Vice-President R. Gary Stauffer. “Don’t think out loud,” warned Mr. Dow. “Nothing is more boring. Develop your idea alone, then share it and look for a reaction, but——never let reaction and idea connect.” He advised the students to recognize feeling and facts, then to go on creating new feelings, new facts. Dow’s introduction to the group described creativity as stemming from man’s “different individual capacities.” He talked on the needs of creativity and competition, quoting his father, “never make a thing everyone else is making —in the same way.” He introduced his scale model design of an individual human in balance with his social heritage, natural en- dowments, and way of life. Within the microcosm of this scale, a religion develops concernin g the individual human being’s sense of honesty, sensitivity, ethics, laws, social rights, individual rights, morals and aesthetics. Philosophy 310 offers practice in the creating of forms and expressions by individuals and group effort, with a creative project due at the end of the term. The class discussions encourage students to do their own intuitive thinking. 83
