...over the objections of some of the less gregarious affiliates. And after his own success in teaching a House seminar, Chalmers has now organized some of the Winthrop tutors to teach a small course on current American social problems. This course will have the advantage of offering a broad, inter-departmental approach to various key issues and will give the tutors a chance to improvise on their own. But even more important for Chalmers' purposes, the course will promote a kind of education based on spontaneous dialogue; it may even create an intellectual excitement that extends beyond the seminar meetings...

He was at his best when he gave in to his sense of humor. Of lower-class Hawaiians traveling on an inter-island schooner, he reported that "as soon as we set sail the natives all laid down on deck as thick as Negroes in a slave pen, and smoked and conversed and captured vermin and ate them, spit on each other, and were truly sociable." Hawaiian oranges were delicious, although...
