Show Great Issues Forum A joint presentation of the University of Utah Department of Philosophy and the Extension Division, the series, "Great Issues in Contemporary Civilization" featured members of the University faculty from almost all the departments. The seven discussions centered on such questions as "Is Progress Real?" and "How Important is Art in Civilization?" This stimulating forum has done much to establish the art of discussion on the University campus. Dr. Waldemer P. Read, Department Head and Professor of Philosophy, was in charge of the Great Issues Forum. The Forum discussed problems of progress, education, morals, and art. Mayan ruins from the travel film, "Quest for the Lost City." John D. Spikes, Head of the Experimental Biology Department, discussed science. A log-jam seen in the film, "Modern Norway Saga." Travel Club Presenting a series of fine movies narrated by some of America's best-informed film adventurers, the University Travel Club, sponsored by the Extension Division, proved very successful in this, its third year. The series included noted lecturers, William Harris and Willis Butler, who discussed their respective films in the light of recent political developments. The Travel Club programs are dynamic evidence that the fine arts of movie-making and lecturing can be combined. 117 |
