niche in which to fit ourselves for the rest of
our mortal lives.
In the PbUosophy of Education course conducted
by Sister Joseph Mary, a panel discus·
sion concerning the auns of Nazareth as a liberal
college Uluminated the students' actual
ideals about their college education as a
whole and concerning their choice of. major
subject as equipment for their Ule's occupation.
Annette DiSchino organized everyone's
thoughts about their reasons for seeking
higher education when she said:
" 'Rulers may say that only free men should
be educated but we believe that only educated
men are tree.'
. •. Wisdom, as t he very culmination
of all liberal knowledge, should be the
product of a liberal education. Education
itself is 1 drawing out or maturing of the
intellectu1l powers of man. Llber1l describes
1 system of education which frees
the individu1l from narrowness of vision
or shallowness of thought and enslavement
of passion and inhibit ion of preju·
dice. It does not necessa rily me1n that
the Individual is completely free to
choose all hla own courses. The buic
areas of atudy have long been determined,
each subject having a particular
purpose: Philosophy for unlflcation, theology
for Christianization, language for
expression, history for perception, mathematics
for precision, natu ral science for
ob jectivity, social science for tolerance,
literature and the flne arts for apprecia·
lion, a fleld of concentration for intensi·
fication and electives for freedom. All
this Is in accord with the original atat.
ment that only tl)e educated can be free!"
Certainly this Is the ideal approach to a
liberal college education. It must be said that
all do not conform to these standards. Nor
are we all vitally aware of these principles.
But where does the fault lie? Are we personally
responsible? Have we been brought up
with the wrong attitudes toward education as
a whole?
Yes-we are personally responsible for
the attitudes which we maintain toward edu·
cation; ours is the duty to form the correct
appreciation and altitudes toward this prl·
mary element of individual ful.fillment. But
we cannot deny the responsibility of others In
this area. All of us recall some of the ideals
of the College which were expounded to us
when we first entered Its doors as Fnshmen.
But how many times have they been iterated
and reilluminated since then? Is it to remain
only the function of a few courses to keep the
student aware of this Ideal?
"The effectiveness of a liberal education
(or any education) depends upon the degree of
association that schools are able to effect between
a primary aim, which is llberai, and
secondary aims which are appropriate to technical,
preprofessional, or vocational study."
This Is the goal pointed out by Anenlte Di
Schlno. This is the association for which we
all, teacher and student alike, must work.
The ideal must be realized in order that we
may better fulfill ourselves as persons with
a desire for perfection in every realm of
absolute value.

Next year, some 5,000 will be

SO,OOO persons will have served.
So far, the number of jobs
and educational opportunities
exceed the number of returnees.
More than 30 universities
have offered over I 00 special

to continue their education. In·

teach in America is high. Cali·

The U. S. State Department
has agreed that Volunteers who

Tanganyika Engineers Build Roads
Peace Corps enaineers in
Tanganyika are buolding roads.
constructing bridges. surveying
harbors and harbor facilities,
river crossings. airports and
drainage systems.
"The fact that the job ts '"
Tanganyika adds n touch or the
unusual, however," said An
Young, a Peace Corps engineer.
"More than once surveying
teams have been driven off the
job due to curious elephants
wandering too close for com·
fort."
The engineers' main project is
10 build a network of sma11
farm-to-market roads in even
the most remote agricultural
areas.
Tanganyika's economy is
based largely on aariculture, yet
only nine per cent of her land
is under cultivation. Lack of
adequate farm-to-market roads
and year-round water supply
limit funher expansion.
Working with the enginec!'S
are Peace Corps geologists who
have mapped about 7 ,SOO square
miles. Volunteers have been in
charge of or second in command
in the supervision of almost aU
primary road construction in
Tanganyika sinee they arrived
in October or 1961. They're
training the Tanganyikans to
take over these jobs when they
leave.
John Leyden, a distinguished
geologist and a member of a
committee that advises the British
ParHament on forei&n aid
programs said of the Volunteers:
"They are revealing to the
world what Americans are like.
They exemplify the American
character. They've got guts ...
these boys have got what it
takes. This is the best a id you
have ever given anyone. The
Volunteers don't know what
can't be done. They simply get
the bridge built or the road
scraped or the mapping done.
A top government official said
to me: 'I don't know what we
would have done without
them:"

easy to serve in the Peace Corps.
''The Peace Corps is not for
tht: vi:,iuua1 y vr •he: c.Jilcllantc. It
requires tenacity, self-reliance.
dedication. Assignments in many
countries nre ill-defi ned - a
symptom of a youthful coun·
try's growing pains. Volunteers
are often on their own . . . in
the effective definition and performance
of their jobs.
"Some of our early critics said
the Peace Corps would only get
'dewey-eyed idealists.' Most of
the Volunteers now serving effectively
overseas are idealists,
in a sense. but they are not
dewey-eyed. One of the Vohmteers
summed up the type of
idealism needed when he defined
his reason for joining:
'I also hope to find some sort
of personal peace, to salve my
conscience that l and my peers
\Vtre born between clean sheets
when others were issued into the
dust with a birthright of hunger.
Perhaps afterwards when I hear
the cry of humanity I shall be
unashomed that 1 am not of that
cry because I helped to still a
part of it.'
"Good Volunteers also have a
measure of enlightened self-interest.
They know their two
year experience overseas is an
educational opportunity without
equal."
PAGE TWO
More than 2,000 faculty or
administrative officers are serv ..
ing as the link between the
Peace Corps and the individual
s tudent. The liaison officer as
a rule is appointed by the university
president.
William G. Toland, a professor
of philosophy at Baylor Uni·
versity, is a typical example of a
Peace Corps liaison officer.
"The main part of this job is
to counsel students and give
them up-to-date information
about any aspect of the Peace
Corps" said Toland.
"This year 125 students have
talked to me personally about
joining the Peace Corps. 1 also
administer the Peace Corps
placement test, which is given
here on the campus." he said.
Toland. as do most liaison
officers, frequently talks to civic
and campus groups about the
work that the Peace Corps is
doing overseas.
Liaison officers are continually
supplied with fresh information
from the Peace Corps headquarters
in Washington and from
the field.
Science Majors
Critically Needed
Liberal arts graduates who
have majored or minored in biology,
physics. chemistry or
math have been requested by
developing countries round the
world.
If new and emerging nations
are to achieve and maintain a
competitive position in the con·
temporary world, they must de·.
velop their own cadre of technicians
and scientists, trained to
cope with an increasingly com·
plex society.
But teaching is not just in the
classroom. It's in the community
as well. See the reporl\
from Nepal and Ghana.
Peace Corps Teaches
32 Languages
The Peace Corps has
taught its Volunteers 32
languages, many of them
never taught on college
campuses in the United 0
States before.
An intensive language
training program patterned
after the successful
labortory methods developed
during World War
ll, accelerates the learning
of such languages as Thai,
Somali, Farsi, Bengali nnd
Amharic.
Prior Jmowledge of a
language is not essential
for most Peace Corps :!S·
signments but prior training
in French or Spanish
is helpful.
'Avoid Madison Ave. Stuff,'
Says Former Staff Member
New Booklet
Describes Jobs
In Liberal Arts
Blair Butterworth, a humanities
major. served a year with
the Peace Corps Washington
staff in Public Affairs. He ·•recruited'•
himself and is now
serving as a Volunteer teacher
in the Okuapemman School at
Akropong-Akwapim, Ghana. He
writes from Ghana:
"I feel that I have treated
you all very unworthily. I should
have been wnung quotable
quotes and the like and making
your job so easy for you. But
somehow. I seem to go through
the 24 hours given each day
before l should. If you give of
yourself to the school, the stu·
dents and the community. your
days and hours are full of the
most ideal form of what we
came here for. The Peace Corps
· slips away, and you become and
spend your time being an individual
looking for, and in most
cases, finding a real reward for
the time and effort put in.
"But you are always aware of
the umbrella of the Peace Corps
and you hope that all of you
will leave a mark together. This
mark cannot rub off the mistakes
we at home ·make, but it
does show that we are not all
the money-hungry, profit-seek·
ing, cold-hearted people that our
headlines make us out to be.
Suddenly, to these kids America
becomes an individual, and the
weight of that responsibility
makes one flap one's wings a
little harder and wake up a little
earlier and work a little harder.
"You ask in your letter about
quality and quantity, ll would
be such a mistake to cajole people
with fancy words and careful
slogans and flashy pictures.
I do not know anyone here who
is impressed with that aspect of
the Peace Corps. We need honest
facts and no Madison Avenue
stuff. No Butterworth speech
made them come, no great
American letter, but instead they
came because they were old
enough to want to know and
young enough to chance a failure.
So get people who can give
of themselves and gain satisfac·
tion in giving, who don•t waot
to prove anything, who rather
dislike the way they were being

recruited, and you will have a
fine, small ancf distinguished
group of young people. The
greatest fear I have is meeting
a PCV Ghana 4 who says to me,
'I came because I heard your
speech in George Washington
High or South East Missouri
State College.'
"As yet I have said nothing
about the teaching difficulties.
Mostly. they are the ones one
has anywhere, I imagine. The
problem is that these kids have
had so few experiences in their
childhood. Maybe that is cultural.
but bicycles, camping, all
the subjects of most textbooks,
just do not fit over here. But if
you keep to their limited experiences,
you cannot prepare them
for the Certificate or expand
their vocabulary. So. the teacher
becomes a guide through life.
One tries and fails, but bit by
bit they pick it up, and as they
know it is all so important for
them, they work hard.''

enough, and we soon found ourselves
being flown to Denver,
where we departed by bus for
the Colorado Outward Bound

the ghost town of Marble, Colo ..
(papulation of five, according to

the day began with an icy dip
in a mountnin stream at six in

bridges. Somehow, I survived.
Two days after home leave we

we could get into Kathmandu,

town or barrio li fe. Often n Vol·
unteer has his indi"idual outside
effort. such as starting vegetable
gardens or joining together for
educational campaigns 10 promore
such things as new kinds
of rice cultivation. Others teach
at night. During their summer
vacation one group of Volun·
leers on Negros island established
"Camp Brotherhood"
which was attended by more
than 600 F11ipino youngsters.
There have been problems.
The actual job of an "educational
aide" was ill-defined. Ingenuity
was required of the Volunteers
in finding their place in
the school and community. This
took time. Slowly they gained
confidence and more duties.
