Alarmed At Lack Of Support
For Humanities, Oswald Says
University President John
W. Oswald said that he is
alarmed at the lack of financial support being given to
the humanities in proportion
to that of the sciences.
"As a scientist," he said, "I
certainly recognize the contributions of science to liberal education as well as the practical application of Its results to the
national welfare.
"But I also recognize the value
of the humanities as liberating
forces; I recognize the part the
humanities play In the Ideological struggle of our day.
"It Is not difficult to see,
howevrr, that the current imbalance may eventually lead to a
of the humanities,
both In the scholarly world and
Dr. Osia the market-place,- "
wald, a plant pathologist, told
' delegate
to the 17th annual
meeting of the Southern Humanities Conference last Friday.
"Large research grants and
higher salaries are already attracting a disproportionate number of our good minds Into the
sciences," he continued.

The president said he agrees
with Howard Mumford Jones,
who wrote In his book, "One
Great Society," that "the disparity seems to be vastly disproportionate to enduring values and
national needs It is not good for
the humanities, for the social
sciences, for science, or for the
nation."
Dr. Oswald said he also agrees
with a suggestion made by Dr.
Thomas B. Etroup, UK professor
of English and chairman of the
conference, that the group, rep19
learned societies,
resenting
should draft and publish a stateof Its belief about the
ment
place of humanities in Southern
education.
"Such a statement," he said,
"would be of value to faculties
and administrators as we reshape
our curricula to meet the needs
of our time and especially as we
attempt to meet the needs of the
emerging South not merely an
economically secure South, but a
South capable of making its
to letters
proper contributions
and scholarship In the arts, litand religion."
erature, philosophy,
Also speaking at the conference was Dr. Joseph A. Bryant
of the University of North Carolina, who told the delegates
that literature, like the other
arts, preserves an Image of man
at his most God-likLose sight of that image. Dr.
Bryant said, "and euthanasia,
of the unfit, and
sterilization
selective breeding of human bebecome reasonable and propings
er practices.
"If man has been created In
the image of his creator, then
the distincltve thing about man
he said, adis his creativity,"
ding that a good literature prostudents to see
fessor requires his
themselves as "participants In
the poetic process."
"You and I," he told his audience, "should be able to grasp
an even richer collection of Insights from the works of Shakehimspeare than Shakespeare
self was able to.
"If we cannot, the works of
Shakespeare are for us and for
our successors dead, and the
world that stretches ahead of us
new
is indeed the frightening
world that some of our better
satirists have warned us of."
Dr. J. W. Patterson, UK associate professor of speech, told
the group that the art of rhetoric can be saved as a humane
study.
He said that teachers of rhetoric, or speech, which he de- -

scribed as "a study of the whole
process of relating our thoughts
to others in order to Influence
their behavior in some way,"
must do two things to avoid compromise.
"First, we must hold to the
concept of the true orator being a good man skilled in speaking, for the rhetorician is forever
calling on us to make choices
Involving values. He must, therefore, understand the relationship
of his art to ethics and politics.
"Secondly, we must not leave
to the commercial-typ- e
speech
classes and the toastmasters
clubs the Job of teaching people
how to persuade others to adopt
right attitudes and act in response to them.
"The awful result will continue to be a nation ef citizens
who cannot speak effectively, and
even worse, a nation of citizens
who do not speak ethically," he
concluded.
