Robbins' young troupe (average age: 24) reached London midway in a four-month State Department-sponsored tour of Europe and Israel; so far, the troupe has attracted capacity crowds everywhere from Salzburg to Athens. Fortnight ago, performing without costumes or sets (lost in a plane crash), Robbins & Co. proved to be the hit of the Edinburgh Festival. Most of the program at both Edinburgh and London's Piccadilly Theatre was originally devised for last year's Spoleto Festival. Included last week were N.Y. Export, Op. Jazz, a deadpan exercise in which knees break, shoulders shrug...
...redeemed. Hell is to be without God and without the fellowship of those who love him and rejoice in his presence. The farther we get away from God, the farther we get away from our fellows and from all that is good and true and beautiful. Hell is the state of infinite loneliness, desperate deprivation and final frustration...
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.

...with clear minds and uncowed consciences, critics of society, not adjusters to it." The words would have a stirring ring coming from any educator, but they take on added meaning coming from the dean of faculty of a new public college spun off by big (20,000 students) Michigan State University, long known as an "ag and tech" institution. Last week, at the opening of the new college at Oakland, 60 miles east of M.S.U.'s main East Lansing campus, crewcut Dean Robert Hoopes, 39, onetime Marine Corps aviator, laid out his goal: to teach the art of living...
Britain's famed public schools are flourishing as before. The class-conscious Englishman still feels compelled to give his children a distinctive U (upper-class) accent, recoils in horror from the non-U patois prevalent in many state schools. Yet public schools are also so costly ($1,200 yearly at Harrow) that many U parents are switching over to state schools, particularly at the primary level. At one brand-new school near London's fashionable South Kensington, the curb is lined with Bentleys, Jaguars and nannies when classes let out each afternoon. Says one U mother...
