Led by Dr. Paul Craig, Otterbein alumnus. Dean of the College of Be havioral Sciences and economics pro fessor at Ohio State University, things got down frequently to the “nittygritty” of economic life in these United States. The frequently mentioned genera tion gap, Doctor Craig insists, is a very real thing. “A world that’s changing this fast HAS to have a generation gap!” After a quick Coke break, the en thusiastic seminar members were back in session to hear Al Germanson and Dr. Charles Dodrill, instruc tor in art and director of theatre re spectively, reflect their professional points of view on the topic “The Arts — More than Entertainment.” Leading off with considerations of the questions “What is Life?” and “What is Man?,” Mr. Germanson noted that the arts are but a continu ation of the conscious progress of be coming an individual. According to Mr. Germanson, “the new pulls the old ahead and keeps us young, while the old provides a basis from which the new can jump. The generations offend each other constantly. However, to be offended can be a challenge because it is part of change itself.” Doctor Dodrill added the following quotes as he related the arts in gen eral to his particular field of the theatre. “The arts are a total reflection of the nature of man, and theatre is saying right now that man has a problem.” “A student can’t possibly create, or a faculty member teach, until he knows what HE is.” The feedback session in which alumni and students challenged the group of speakers with additional questions and comments threatened to take on the guise of an all-night “bull session” before the planning committee had to call “Time!” Was the seminar really a success? Did it stretch the minds of alumni and students as it had hoped to do? Let this comment from one young alumna and her husband answer for all. “This is the most exciting thing that’s happened to Otterbein in years!” — Sarah Rose Skaates, ’56
