FRESHMAN FOUNDATION “O This Learning, What a Thing it is!” The Taming of the Shrew “O, this learning what a thing it is!” How hard it is and with what toil, amid the shattered castles of our old beliefs, we come to know the complex alphabet of a new articulateness, to find there is great virtue in simplicity, to see what we had not seen be- fore— a strange arithmetic of line, the line of form, the form of space and the all pervading color of our environment— to be aware, yet not to know; to wonder, yet no answers to find; to feel the rankling shock of self responsibility without the soft security of precise judgment and reward for what we thought was meant for us to do; when what was meant was only that we should come to know that Learning is but a portion of ourselves and will be, to some degree, forever with us, if we but learn to see. SAMUEL F. HERSHEY Chairman, Freshman Foundation I]

12 DIVISION OF INDUSTRIAL PRODUCTION INDUSTRIAL DESIGN, as a recognized field of pro- fessional design endeavor, is the junior member of the family of design arts. The date of its birth is obscure. Some say 1925, others 1935, while some folks even claim that it has existed only since World War II. (R.1.S.D.’s first graduate in the established major was in 1942.) During November (’55) I attended a meeting of industria! designers and industrial design edu- cators at the Philadelphia Museum School of Art. Able men from leading colleges and schools presented thoughtful and thought provoking pa- pers, followed by discussion characterized by intense convictions and differing philosophies. Notwithstanding the obvious differences in educational philosophies advocated by many of the conferees, there appeared to be comparative agreement on what “industria! design”’ is. “Industrial design” has become an idiom. Formerly it has meant many things to many peo- ple. To those resorting to the authority of Web- ster, the choice was so broad that it could have included a penal code (!), design involving manual labor, or just having to do with industry. In practice “industrial design” has become a use- ful and definitive term. Many definitions exist. Most authoritative definitions include considera- tions for human satisfactions, man-machine or man-environment relationship, and MASS PRODUCTION. Excluded from the field are the so-called arts and crafts. “Industrial design” is not simply 3-D design. The usefulness of understanding conveyed by these definitions lies in the possible identification of designers especially equipped to deal with the typical problems of mass production industries. There is no inference intended that an industrial designer must confine his efforts to mass produc- tion fields, nor that designers identified prin- cipally with the fine arts, the graphic arts, or architecture may not successfully perform in the field of industrial design.
