With the support of a three-year grant for $81,822 from the National Endow-
ment for the Humanities, a project concerned with an interdisciplinary program
in philosophy and the humanities is underway at State University of New York at
Albany with William L. Reese, chairman of the philosophy department, as
principal investigator.

In commenting on the program, Dr. Reese said that central to the undertaking
is the idea of the philosophy department's serving as a kind of catalytic agent in
the university. ''By that I mean," he added, "the department of philosophy must
foster working relationships with all of the basic areas of knowledge represented in
the university. In particular, in addition to the standard people in philosophy we
propose the addition of bridge people, interdisciplinarians affiliated with the depai
ment who have a competency both in philosophy and in an area outside of philosophy."

Dr. Reese continues, ''We expect to have such people one each in philosophy-
humanities, philosophy-social sciences, and philosophy-natural sciences. All
will be related to the interdisciplinary part of the doctoral program in philosophy
which began this year. Students in the interdisciplinary program will be expected
to have in addition to their philosophy, preparation comparable to a master's degree
in an area outside of philosophy. The knowledge explosion requires that in addition
to the standard ways of doing philosophy there is a need for some individuals to be
exploring the inter-faces of the disciplines. In another way of putting it, they will
be looking for the university within the multiversity."

Interdisciplinary Program in Philosophy -2-

The program being developed with the aid of the grant will concentrate on the
position of philosophy and the humanities, Directing the undertaking this year is the
noted scholar, Bertram Jessup, who is president of the American Society for
Aesthetics for a two-year term.

Dr. Jessup, emeritus professor of philosophy at the University of Oregon, has
translated works of Goethe and has written extensively about philosophy in Shake-
speare, Additionally, he has been identified prominently with the general field of
aesthetics as related to English literature, and to a certain extent, to theater. He
has been teaching courses in philosophy and literature and philsophy and the human-
ities, subtitled ''Aesthetics and Other Human Values".

The director for 1971-72 will be Teddy Brunius, noted aesthetician from the
University of Uppsala in Sweden whose dossier includes twenty books in Swedish, one
in French, one in Polish, and six in English. Dr. Brunius was organizer of the Sixth
International Congress of Aesthetics held at Uppsala in 1968 and has lectured at many
universities of the world including the Sorbonne in Paris, Aarhus in Denmark,
Cracow in Poland, as well as Harvard University, Columbia, and many others in
this country.

Beginning in the fall of 1971 there will be a confrontation series related to the
project aimed at bringing together individuals from various disciplines in the hum an-
ities whose research indicates that their interaction might lead to important develop-
ment in their respective fields. Similar confrontations will be planned in relation
to the social and natural sciences,

Edward M. Jennings, 3rd, assistant professor of English at State University of
New York at Albany, has been selected as an American Council on Education Fellow
in the Academic Administration Internship Program for 1971-72.

The award, according to Charles G. Dobbins, director of the program, is based
on the ACE staff's consideration of his academic achivements, the expressed esteem of
his colleagues, the judgment of two interviewing teams, and his overall qualifications
as measured against the specific standards of the program.

Dr. Jennings is being invited at ACE expense to attend the opening seminar at the
University of Chicago in September and the closing seminar in Washington next April.
He holds degrees from Dartmouth College and the University of Wisconsin where he
received his doctorate. Dr. Jennings joined the faculty here in 1968.

The ACE Academic Administration Intership Program, establishished in 1964 under

a grant from the Ford Foundation, is designed to strengthen leadership in American

higher education by enlarging the number, and improving the qualifications, of persons
available for key positions in academic administration.

Typically each ACE Fellow during the nine-month internship, either on the home
campus or on a host campus, is assigned to one or more top administrative officers
both to observe and to participate appropriately in policy-making and decision-making
activities. Each fellow attends fall and spring seminars in Chicago and Washington
on the problems of academic administration, undertakes certain assigned readings
in academic administration, and produces an analytical report in the field of

academic administration.

Douglas Alexander, 2nd, assistant professor of French in the department
of Romance languages, State University of New York at Albany, is the recip-
ient of a National Endowment for Humanities award, He will receive a
summer stipend for younger humanists.

Dr. Alexander will undertake an intensive reading program in Black
African literature in French with primary emphasis on Senegal, Dahomey,
and Guinea. In gathering his materials he will visit Paris, Dakar, and Dahomey.

The SUNYA faculty member proposes to read as intensively and extensively
as possible in the novel, poetry, and theater of French Black Africa. His is
a seminal study program which will lead eventually to a greatly broadened
knowledge of Black literature the world over, especially of Haitian
literature the origins of which date from the early 19th Century. The
study will be conducted partly in the areas of greatest literary production
in Africa since the greatest availability of texts will be in the countries of

their origin.

On Friday, April 23, at 8:30 p.m., in the Main Theater of the Performing
Arts Center "The Tip of the Iceberg" will be performed. The work is a multi-

On Sunday, April 25, at 3 p.m. in the PAC Main Theater, Janos Starker,
noted cellist, will perform works of Bach, Franck, Debussy, and Boccherini.
The Chicago ''American" has called him "king of cellists".

Born in Budapest in 1924, Starker was introduced to music by his parents at
an early age and when he was seven decided to become a cellist. He attended the
Franz Liszt Academy and after finishing his studies he held the chair of first
cellist with the Budapest Opera and Philharmonic Orchestras. He left his native
country in 1946 because he ''did not like the atmosphere". After two years of
concertizing in various European countries, he came to the United States where
he has since made his home.

After having spent a number of years as solo cellist with several major
American orchestras, Starker decided to devote himself to appearances as
soloist only. He has toured throughout the United States and Canada, Europe,
and the Far East.

For young housewives, retired businessmen, depression children of the 30's, and
the ''complacent generation'' of the 50's, the College of General Studies at the State
University of New York at Albany offers continuing education. Age makes no difference-
the nearly 1,000 students registered through the college during the current semester
represent a wide age span - 21-72 years. Of the group approximately one-third have a
high school diploma, another third have at least two years of college, and the last third
have a bachelor's degree. The students are evenly divided between men and women and
over half of the men are veterans. Twenty-eight different occupations are represented
in addition to over 20 departments and agencies of both State and Federal governments.

Daytime and evening courses, taught by the faculty of SUNYA, are offered to area
residents who wish to further their education, refine their professional skills, or broaden

1

intellectual horizons and try some ''mind stretching''. There are about as many individ-

ual reasons for taking credit courses as there are people in the general studies program,

Dean Irving A. Verschoor started the program in 1965, The purpose of opening the
university's academic facilities to the adult student remains the same. Its mission is
threefold: to give attention to the seriously motivated adult who wishes to begin or con-
tinue a program of study; to become more competent in an occupational role; and to
explore new intellectual fields.

Summer and fall, daytime and evening, there are course offerings in business,
education, humanities, public affairs, science, and mathematics, the social and be-
haviorial sciences. The six-week summer session opens June 29 and the fall semester
will begin on August 31. Registration will be held through April for the daytime

courses and through August 20 for the evening courses. Further information can
be obtained by calling the College of General Studies.

The annual Spring Choral Festival will be held Thursday evening, April 29 at
8:30 in the Main Theatre of the Performing Arts Center, State University of New York
at Albany. More than 300 students, vocal, and instrumental, will be involved in the
department of music program to which the publicis invited without charge.

The first part of the concert will be selections from ''Frostiana''by Randall
Thompson to be sung by the Combined Mixed Choruses and the Statesmen. The work,
with words by Robert Frost, was commissioned in 1958 for the 200 anniversary of the
incorporation of the town of Amherst, Mass. Karl A.B. Peterson, director of choral
ensembles at SUNYA, will conduct,

Following the intermission the University Singers and the University Community
Orchestra, under the direction of Nathan Gottschalk, chairman of the music department,
will perform Franz Schubert's Mass No. 6 in E flat major (D.950), The Mass,
Schubert's sixth and last, is considered by many to be the most imposing and the most
ingratiating of his religious pieces. It is primarily a choral work, the solo voices (used
only for short passages in three sections of the Mass) are subordinate to the full chorus.
The texture is mostly homophonic, but with several powerful fugal passages.

Soloists for the Mass will include Edith Seifert, well-known Schenectady soprano;
Marjorie Fuller, mezzo soprano, and a member of the vocal faculty of SUNYA; David
Lloyd, tenor, who is known widely as director of the Lake George Opera and has
appeared as soloist with many major symphonies; Robert Sheehan, tenor, a member
of the St. Rose music department faculty and organist-choir director of the Cathedral

of the Immaculate Conception; and Karl Peterson, bass.

Arrangements have been concluded by State University of New York at Albany for
students to study Spanish in Mexico at Cuernavaca, near Mexico City, The location
will be one branch of the larger program called the Freshman Summer Language
Program (FSLP) sponsored by SUNYA.

The six-week period of intensive Spanish study will begin July 5. Students may earn
between six and nine semester hours of credit, dependent upon their achievement. In
addition to the regular five hours of daily instruction and practice, four excursions into
the surrounding region will be made.

The FSLP students will take part in the established Language Center in Cuernavaca
which is part of the Centro Intercultural de Documentacion. Although the language study
schedule is demanding and full, some students may wish to take part in some CIDOC
activities or courses. Such participation would be arranged and financed privately.

The inclusive cost of all the FSLP locations is $750. Included are transportation,
tuition, room, and board. Since no group travel is planned to Cuernavaca, the cost of
transfer from the Mexico City Airport to Cuernavaca ($3) must be paid by the individual.
The flexibility of travel allows students to spend time in Mexico before or after the
program dates.

The FSLP sponsored by SUNYA is in its third summer. The pilot program was held
in Germany in the summer of 1969 for 29entering freshman students, In the summer
of 1970 the opportunity to study another language intensively in seven countries abroad
was extended to 125 students.

The 1971 programs will be held at theUniversity of Caen, France; Goethe Institut,
Germany; University Italiana Per Stranieri, Italy; University of Coimbra, Portugal;

Un iversities of Santiago and LaCoruna, Spain; and Cuernavaca, Mexico.

The Office of International Studies at the University has additionalinformation.

as excursions to Norm andy and to the chateaus of the Loire.

On arrival at Nice, some students will elect to live with French families, while
other will reside in dormitories. The program of study has been planned not only to
further the student's work toward the major but also to enrich the academic experi-
ence with courses which will provide an insight into another culture and another
approach to higher education,

State University of New York at Albany will close to all further applications for
the fall term on May 3, The closing is necessitated by the large numbers of appli-
cations received to date for the fall semester.

Applications for freshman admission closed on February 1 when SUNYA had re-
ceived 9, 233 applications for 1,300 available spaces. To date, 3,341 freshmen have
been accepted and a waiting list of qualified alternates has been established pending
acknowledgements from the accepted candidates,

Applications for the Educational Opportunities Program were closed on March 1
after the university had received more than 1,000 applications for the tentative quota
of 300 students.

Students desiring to transfer from other colleges and universities were those who
were affected by the most recent closeout. Last year's total of 3,700 applications
already had been exceeded by at least 300, and in view of the limited number (800)
of available spaces for the fall term, it was decided by the administration that it would
be misleading for the university to continue accepting further applications.

The overall number of applications to date reflects an increase of 14.3% over last
year, with freshman applications increasing by 11% and applications from transfers
attending other SUNY institutions rising by 52%. Competition for admission in every

category has been more intense due to the rise in applications.
