Geography & Excellence. Geography helped make the Union possible. Five of the seven seminaries are within a few minutes' walk of one another on what Berkeleyites call "Holy Hill"; the others are within easy driving distance. But what made the Union necessary was the high cost of academic improvements. Although the individual seminaries have plenty of topflight teachers - Old Testament Scholar James Muilenberg at the Presbyterian San Francisco Theological Seminary, Systematic Theologian Keith Bridston at Pacific Lutheran Theological Seminary - none of the schools ranked among the nation's best. Only two had doctoral programs, and their libraries ranged from...
...California's intensely informal Pitzer, where the teachers lecture in shirtsleeves, barefoot girls pad into class carrying Cokes, and the janitor speaks his mind at faculty-student meetings so tumultuously democratic, says President John W. Atherton, "that the only way I can restrain myself from yelling is to walk out with great dignity." Destruction of Innocence. Endowed by Orange Grower Russell K.

...provides Bacon with a $20,000 salary and a staff of 65, including 14 architects, seven engineers, three economists, three experts in social science or government, a landscape architect and a mathematics expert. Appropriately enough, Bacon lives in a four-story brick row house in midtown, a 15-minute walk from his office. His outside activities are not exactly wide-ranging. During winter term he conducts an evening course (Historic Examples of Civic Design) at the University of Pennsylvania...
Integrated Songs. However much white America has tried to segregate the Negro, mentally and physically, he has not stayed segregated. His slang, his poetry, his music (which Ellison fondly explores in a number of essays) have permeated and profoundly influenced white culture for the better: "Southern whites cannot walk, talk, sing, conceive of laws or justice, think of sex, love, the family or freedom without responding to the presence of Negroes...
