1975 Oxford Program
Susquehanna University will
offer its sixth biennial summer
study program at Oxford
University in England, from
June 28 to Aug. 30.
"Susquehanna at Oxford," a
program of study in British
history and culture and relevant
travel and excursions in En
gland, is open to undergraduates
from Susquehanna and other
colleges, secondary school
teachers, recent college
graduates seeking enrichment,
or any seriously interested
adult.
Participants usually enroll in
either British History, Politics
and Society: 1870 to the Present;
or British Literature; 1870 to the
Present; and either The Oxford
Movement: Religion’s Impact
upon 19th Century British
Culture; or History of the Fine
Arts in England: 1660-1837.
The history and literature
courses are part of Oxford
University’s regular summer
school program, with lectures by
various British scholars and
political and governmental
leaders. For "Susquehanna at
Oxford” students, the lectures
are supplemented by bi-weekly
seminars led by S.U. faculty
members.
The course on the high
liturgical renaissance known as
the Oxford Movement, which
i)egan with the Catholic
Emancipation Act of 1829, will
^ taught by the Rev. Edgar
Brown, chaplain of Susquehanna
University.
The course on British fine arts,
beginning with Christopher
Wren, will be taught by Dr.
James Boeringer, S.U. organist
and associate professor of
music.
The latter two courses will
include guest lecturers and
excursions.
Upon successful completion of
the two courses, Susquehanna
awards six hours of un
dergraduate course credit and a
special certificate attesting to
completion of the program.
Upon arrival in England, the
group will spend one week in
London. Several tours and ex
cursions are planned and time
will also be allowed for in
dividual sightseeing.
Students will spend five weeks
in residence in the historic
“Durham Quadrangle” at
University College, the oldest of
Oxford’s colleges, founded in
1249.
The city of Oxford, in
existence at least since the year
912, when it is mentioned in the
Anglo-Saxon Chronicle, is called
"The City of a Thousand Spires”
because of the many towers,
domes, steeples, and delicate
ornamental pinnacles of the 36
colleges which make up Oxford
University.
Following the Oxford session,
Susquehanna offers an optional
20-day tour of the European
continent, including visits to
Munich, Salzburg, Innsbruck,
Lucerne, Interlaken, Heidel
berg, Cologne and Paris.
Cost for "Susquehanna at
Oxford’’ is $1,285, based on an
anticipated enrollment of 40,
which covers all expenses ex
cept for lunches and dinners
during the first week in London.
Cost of the optional continental
tour is $555, which covers all
expenses except evening meals.
Further information is
available from Dr. Robert
Gradford at S.U., Selinsgrove,
Pa. 17870.
ACC Dnm Manithon
Ot{: W mjd April 1^
frorrt Twelve noon to midnigli^
Mr. Irvine’s- drawing class will
be conducting an art marathon
in Ai't Building In each of
t'*^ve liouf sessions
sTUaerits will be drawing various
natural obiects in an effort to
develop their general drawing
abilities.
The theory on which the art
marathon is based is that
students, when forded to work
for a prolonged period of time,
eventually become bored and
dissatisfied with their drawings
and as a result, are compelled to
give up old avenues of ex
pression and seek new ones.
Students then, are in a sense,
forced into looking at the per
ceiving objects in many new and
different ways, with the ultimate
affect of enhancing their overall
drawing capabilities.
The drawing marathon, ba.sed
on a smiliar marathon con
ducted by Edmund McGowin of
the Corcoran School in
Washington, D.C., is not par
ticularly new to AC as .Mr. Irvine
has been conducting a similar
marathon for the past two years.
However, in the past, instead of
having two twelve hour
marathons spaced two months
apart, there was just one twenty-
four hour marathon. The scheme
has been changed this year
because on the average students
begin to exhibit adeqate changes
in their work within six or seven
hours, therefore, the extra
length of time isn't necessary.
The n^arathon itself, according
to Mr. Irvine, merits con-
tinuation Ix'cause of the sub
stantial and permanent im
provements made by students
after completing the program

A bequest to ACC from the
estate of a physician with a
strong interest in the teaching of
English may soon have a
profound effect on the im
provement of teaching
techniques at the college.
Funds from Dr. Victor H.
Small’s estate were earmarked
for the teaching of English and
literature. Following careful
study, English Department
officials determined that a
venture into the area of in
structional television would be
the most beneficial route to
follow.
Since several members of the
English faculty already had
experience in the video field,
others investigated numerous
video installations, attended
seminars and have taken ad
ditional course-work to make the
overall project worthwhile.
ACC’s new video system,
complete and compact, arrived
in October, 1974. Since plans for
use of the system had been made
well in advance, it was quickly
assembled and placed in service
for the first time in early Oc
tober. Courses utilizing video
methods are in progress and
more have been scheduled.
One of the present uses of the
video equipment used by both
the departments of ENGLISH
.AND EDUCATION, IS THE
TAPING OF ACTIVITIES OF
STUDENTS PRACTICE
TEACHING IN ACTUAL
CLASSROOM SESSIONS.
Students may later review tapes
and evaluate their work.
The new video ecjuipment has
already proven invaluable in the
area of dramatics course work.
Plays have been recorded
during rehearsals and _ in
structors and students alike feel
it is an extremely valuable tool
in dealing with acting and
directing.
A special film course has been
designed by the English
Department and is being offered

this spring. Courses utilizing
video methods are certain to be
expanded greatly in the future,
especially if the college can
afford to add to its parent
system.
