"What js to
be done?''
by Jim McGovern
C. P. Snow, British novelist scientist
and statesman, will deliver an address
entitled "What is to be done" at 2:30
p.m. in Bigelow Hall as part of the !75th
Anniversary Week celebrations and
President James G. Miller's Introduction
to the Community. The speech is billed as
a· discussion of modern ethics applicable
in today 's society - a panel discussion
will follow. Scheduled panel members
include Dr. Harvey Webster, professor
emeritus of English, Dr. John Dillon,
dean of the graduate school and vice
president for academic affairs, Dr. Warren
G. Bennis, president of the University of
Cincinnati. and Dr. John R. Platt,
associate director of the Mental Health
Research Institute of the University of
Michigan.
At 6 7 years of age, Lord Snow is well
known for "Strangers and Brothers," a
series of eleven novels written between
1940 and 1970. He is a leading
spokesman for those concerned with the
widening gap in communication between
literature and science. His own career
includes education as a chemist and
physicist and various positions itn science,
government, and education. Si111ce 1959,
Snow has been a lecturer, professor, and
fellow at various universities including
Cambridge, Harvard , Yale , and the
University of California at Berkeley.
Lord Snow has never capitalized upon
his title and writes under the name C. P.
Snow. This is exemplary of the ethical
.values espoused by Snow throughout his
life and work.
"a really profound split (between artists
and scientists) in our Western culture."
Snow proposed "that we must put our
heads together and see if we can't fight
this problem and close this division.''
More of the same is expected in today's
lecture.
ln light of new President Miller's
expressed propensity for the humane
extension of systems analysis into the
University community; the selection of
Lord Snow as a participant in the
Introduction is particularly apropos.
