AMERICAN POLITICAL TRADITION SEMINARS President Benson (left) and Dr. Diamond (far right) welcome distinguished visitors James Stewart, Senator Thomos Dodd (D-Conn.), and Senator John Tower (R-Texos) to the Seminar program. Dr. Martin Diamond, Professor of Government at CMC and General Chairman of the Scminors, mode the opening address on Wednesdoy, February 10, in McKenna Auditorium. As a liberal arts college with an emphasis on public affairs, Clare- mont Men ' s College has broad and persistent interests in the study of politics. Within that study of politics, a special concern and competence has developed in the study of the American political tradition. It is natural and reasonable that this special interest should be made manifest in campus-wide activities that from time to time dramatically focus the attention of the college community upon the American political tradi- tion. The annual Seminars on the American Political Tradition have been devised as such a dramatic occasion. — Martin Diamond Dr. C. Page Smith. Provost of Cowell College, University of California, Santa Crux, was the first guest speaker. His ad- dress was entitled Binding Up the Wounds.
