...group headed by Jerrold Zacharias devised a new high school physics course in 1956 based on the notion that it was more fun, and more instructive, to understand the principles of physics by performing experiments rather than by memorizing a mass of facts and rarely testing them in the lab. The system was called the "discovery method," and it quickly spread to the other sciences as university scholars joined with public school teachers to revise curriculums...
...students will seek a breadth of education without fiat, and, second, that faculty members will voluntarily give up departmental time to create and teach optional Gen Ed courses. But the recent history of Gen Ed shows that students who are not majoring in science simply do not take "hard" lab sciences voluntarily. Nor do professors in the scientific fields offer Gen Ed courses which would appeal to the non-concentrator. (There are virtually no upper level Gen Ed science courses.) There is no reason to believe that these problems, two of the most serious bedeviling Gen Ed, will be remedied...
...athletic field, but its "Purple Knights" are champions in football, basketball and baseball. St. Aug's lacks an auditorium, but its theatrical productions are among the liveliest in Louisiana. St. Aug's academic facilities range from a 7,000-volume library down to a biology lab without running water, but its best graduates get into the most competitive colleges in the U.S., often with full scholarships...
...victory tonight for Harvard will avenge last season's most frustrating loss. Last December, when the teams mot in the LAB, the Crimson blew a 16 point lead in five minutes and lost the game, 74-72, when Belfiore hit a 25-foot shot in the last second of play...
Bloch is a slender, quiet man who speaks haltingly, sometimes eloquently, with a trace of a German accent. He came to this country in 1936 after a two-year stint in a Swiss bacteriology lab, having fled his native Germany in 1934. He became an American citizen in 1944 and came to Harvard ten years later as Higgins Professor of Biochemistry, after teaching at Columbia and Chicago. Bloch's interests are almost completely confined to his research. Unlike many Harvard scientists he serves on no government policy committees and did not participate in last month's presidential campaign...
