Hardly a day passed when a figure of note was not speaking to audi- ences in Woolsey, or Harkness, or Strathcona. Fre- quently the audiences were pitiably and disturbingly small; perhaps, as Gordon Haight reflected, the Yale man was too busy to get an education. For those who came to listen, there was food for thought, if not always completely digestible food. His- torians, writers, scientists, artists, educators, religious and political figures gave the Yale man a range of ideas and approaches far broader, and occasionally far deeper, than the normal schedule of courses could pro- vide in a year. There was at least an element of truth in the well-worn comment, You can get an education at Yale without attending a class. Robert Frost Writing free verse is like playing tennis without a net. Ralph Vauchan Williams Before tie can truly listen, uv must first be able to create.

The Junior Prom: Against an underwater motif, the Battle of the Bands. A TENSION was visible in China as the Tachens exodus began under United States Seventh Fleet ' s cover. After ten days, the Tachens were bare, and not a shot had been fired. Dulles announced that American policy had drawn the line of defense at Formosa, but time was running out on the UN peace talks. The United States continued to seek a cease-fire. Yale men, as well as experts in all parts of America, began to listen with respect to the studied opinions of Yale President A. Whitney Griswold, as he spoke out in behalf of education. The need for schools and ele- mentary school teachers was crucial, he con- ceded, but he firmly announced that Yale would not increase its enrollment to meet the rising number of college candidates. He would not turn Yale into a mail order college; Yale would become more select, searching not merely for the more specialized man, but in a general sense, the better man. She would not become a school for beetle-browed intellectualism. THE YEAR ' S SPOTLIGHTED SPORTSMEN: Willie Say hey Mays. Tom Gola, everybody ' s All-American. Roger Bannister and friend. Golfer Ed Furgol.
