...Consciousness-Expanding Drug, edited by David Solomon (G. P. Putnam's-Berkeley Medallion Edition, paperback, 1967, 248 pp.). This collection of essays and articles pro and con has a slim amount of factual information, and some interesting speculations about LSD. Included are reports of LSD experiments with terminal cancer patients, alcoholics, and the "mentally ill," as well as articles by Aldous Huxley, Alan Watts, William Burroughs, Leary, and other journalists of psychedelia...
Meantime, the pressure for diplomas has created a mandarin system or "credential society" that sows intense competition for college admission and reaps intense disappointment when teaching turns out to be only incidental to the process.

Precursor Sage. Many words in a given language can be traced to their root origins by a skilled lexicographer. The ancestry of proverbs can rarely be determined with scientific accuracy. Aeschylus was as familiar as Solomon with the proverb, "A soft answer turneth away wrath," but no one can say to what precursor sage both men owed the saying. It remains a mystery, moreover, why some civilizations are rich in proverbs and others are not. Why did the Incas, the Mayans and nearly all the Indian tribes of North America produce such a meager crop of proverbs, when the Spaniards...
Gerald Holton, professor of Physics, Arthur K. Solomon, associate professor of Biophysics, Richard A. McCray, assistant professor of Astronomy, and David J. Jhirad, teaching fellow in Astronomy, will replace their regular technical material next Tuesday with discussions of the relationship of science to society. Solomon's decision came in response to a petition signed by half the students present at Biology 119's last lecture...
