EDUCATION 525 



Blake, that man who saw the galaxy as "Tiger, Tiger, burning bright/ 

 In the forest, of the night," spoke once of the fact that the literary 

 person sees with a double vision. He sees the fact and the vast 

 shadow which lies behind the fact, in this instance the Great Society. 



HAROLD WOLOZIN. I have an invitation for Mr. Keppel. I happen 

 to be on the Board of the Burgundy Farm County Day School. We 

 have a bird sanctuary, and he might like to come out and see what 

 we have done, as an example of what has been discussed here. 



We are concerned with the role of volunteers in the community. 

 Miss Madar, I think, ticked off the need for getting groups that 

 either are volunteer groups or youth volunteers to work together. 

 Therefore, I have a recommendation, and that is that you set up a 

 panel on the use and organization and utilization of volunteers. 



Mrs. PAUL GALLAGHER. The objective of The Friends of the Parks 

 is to save parks from encroachment, and our enemy is the high- 

 way engineer. As we discovered, the highway engineer is the most 

 delightful of men really, and full of courtesy, but he cannot hear 

 what we say. He cannot hear us because there is nothing in his 

 education or training relative to what we are talking about. He 

 is absolutely unconscious of any lack, he is quite content with his 

 education, which, of course, is good. 



If this panel has any influence with scientific schools, I would 

 like you to urge them to add, before the young men are quite set 

 in their mold, a course on philosophy and aesthetics. They should 

 also read the English and American poets which Mr. Eiseley just 

 before me has recommended also. 



I think it would bridge the gap between what they are not sensi- 

 tive to and what they should be sensitive to. 



Miss WARD. Among the recommendations that we hope to make 

 is that interested universities might consider setting up graduate 

 schools of environmental studies. The point that our speaker made 

 is one that comes up again and again, which is that the economist 

 and the sewage expert and the road engineer and the architect and 

 the landscape gardener, don't really meet. If there were some cen- 

 ters in the country where these people of different professional ex- 

 pertise could meet to learn the organic and the ecological sense of 

 their work, we think this would be one of the big breakthroughs
