Two well-known scientists will propose that science replace the humanities as the basis of undergraduate liberal education, at a forum in Leverett House next Wednesday at 8:15 p.m.
Sir Charles P. Snow, British physicist and novelist, and Norman F. Ramsey, professor of Physics, who was recently appointed chief scientific adviser to NATO, will argue for the shift in emphasis.
They will be opposed by Howard Mumford Jones, professor of English, and Mark DeWolfe Howe '28, professor of Law. Eric A. Havelock, professor of Greek and Latin, will moderate.
Sir Charles will visit Leverett next week as part of the House's Ford Grant program and will also speak at a concentration dinner Tuesday. He will be accompanied by his wife, the novelist Pamela Hansford Johnson. He has suggested in several recent magazine articles that undergraduate liberal education be founded on the sciences.
As part of its Ford Grant program, Kirkland Hous will have pianist-composer Leon Kirschner as a guest for a week.
