Inter-Century Seminar
Scholarly Staff Gains Three For April Centennial Event
A nuclear physicist, an international pioneer in mental health and an inventor-builder who has been called "the first poet of technology" have accepted invitations to participate in the Inter-Century Seminar.
Slated for major presentations during the April 11-14 Centennial event are Dr. Philip H. Abelson, editor of Science magazine and head of the Geophysical Laboratory of the Carnegie Institution of Washington; Dr. Karl Menninger, co-founder and chief of staff of The Menninger Foundation; and R. Buckminster Fuller.
FULLER, A TIME MAGAZINE cover subject in 1964, was described as being "famous for houses that fly and bathrooms without water, for cars and maps and ways of living bearing the mysterious word 'Dymaxion,' for things called 'octet trusses,' 'synergetics' and 'tensegrity.' But he is best known for his massive mid-century breakthrough known as the 'geodesic dome.'
Fuller also has been called "the greatest living genius of industrial-technical realization in building" and "an anticipator of the world to come," which makes him an ideal choice for the seminar,
intended to give participants a free rein of ideas on the theme "Man and the Future."
Futuristic thinking in another field has been supplied by Dr. Menninger, native Topekan who organized the training program that became the Menninger School of Psychiatry, world's largest training center for psychiatrists.
THE MENNINGER FOUNDATION has pioneered in developing education, research and prevention in psychiatric and psychological fields.
Dr. Abelson has been a member of the Atomic Energy Commission General Advisory Committee, co-edits the Journal of Geophysical Research and last year was awarded an honorary doctor of science degree by Yale. He has been a leading exponent of a more equitable distribution of research grants to universities.
Other seminar leaders announced earlier are retired U.S. Supreme Court Justice Charles Whitaker; Dr. Arthur Larson, director of the Rule of Laws Research Center at Duke University; and Dr. Loren Eiseley, author, anthropologist and educator.
Results of the seminar's probe into the problems and possibilities of the next 100 years will be published.
