Occasionally, as in the military exercise known as Bo Odori, in which sticks, sickles and wooden swords were flourished in ritualistic confusion, the dance had an authentic feel. But more often, Takarazuka's "musical bridge" seemed a one-way street that fell 20 years short of its goal. After watching an animal turn called Shan Shan Uma, in which two dancers represented the front and hindquarters of a horse, the New York Daily News's John Chapman commented: "I kept muttering to myself 'Shan Shan Uma on the Rillera.' This helped some...
Nucleus of a Dream. Michigan State hopes to get to the goal by developing a top-drawer liberal arts college to match its excellent technical schools. Oakland has the plant and the men for a good start. Most of the sweeping 2,000-acre campus was given to M.S.U. two years ago by the widow of Auto Tycoon John Dodge and her husband, Lumberman Alfred G. Wilson. Value of the land and the 125-room Wilson mansion: about $15 million. When the Wilsons added another $2,000,000 to the gift, astute M.S.U. President John Hannah appointed Vice President Durward...

The goal of general education--to have an idea of the forest as well as the trees, to pursue a concentration and view it in the perspective of the fundamental areas of learning--is a valid one. And the seminars can help remedy the defects of the lecture system, which so often...
Quincy's "heart's desire," his son recorded, "was to make the College a nursery of high-minded, high-principled, well-taught, well-conducted, well-bred gentlemen, fit to take their share, gracefully and honorably, in public and private life." In his attempt to reach this goal, Harvard's fifteenth President failed miserably. His policies incurred the wrath of the undergraduates and culminated in the great riot of 1834 and the subsequent dismissal of the entire sophomore class...
