...past are not at all mysterious. Socrates, bearded and bald, gave his name to today's best seminar style simply by plucking insights out of youthful minds with incisive questions. Aristotle drew upon the illustrative experiences of his reckless youth to inspire other youths to be good; his Lyceum linked research and teaching by analyzing biological specimens. In a medieval age of faith, the unconventional Peter Abelard employed shafts of wit and the theory that "constant questioning is the first key to wisdom" to draw throngs to his school of dialectics near Paris...
...judges in London included such stalwarts of the realm as the Marchioness of Tavistock and former Cricketer Sir Learie Constantine, as well as experts from the colonies Broderick Crawford and Johnny Mathis.

At Michigan in late September the company will break in three new productions: the world première of Archibald MacLeish's Heracles, Ibsen's The Wild Duck, and the Kaufman-Hart comedy...

At Ole Miss with Chief U.S. Marshall McShane, when mobs tried to block the entrance of the university's first Negro student, James Meredith, Doar risked his own life three times to contact the besieged feds in the campus Lyceum. With Deputy (now Acting) Attorney General Nicholas Katzenbach, he walked past Governor George Wallace in the doorway at the University of Alabama. Doar is best remembered as the hero of a vivid confrontation between rock-tossing Negroes and trigger-itchy cops in Jackson, Miss., in 1963. Walking alone between...
