I WAS A TEEN-AGE SLIDE RULE
In a rc-cont learned journal (JMad) the di.stin^nislied !>oard
chairman (Italph “Hot-Lii*” Siirafonn) of one of our mo»t
irnjHirtant American cor|K»rationa (the Arf Mechanical I)«k Co.)
wrote a trenchant article in which he pinjHiintcd our gravest
national problem: the lack of culture among science graduate's.
Mr. Sigafooe s article, it must lie emphasized, was in no sense
derogatory. Me stated quite dearly that the science student,
what with his gruelling curriculum in physics, math, and chem
istry, can hardly l>e expected to find time to study the arts
too What Mf Sigafoos deplores—indeed, what we all deplore
— is the hqisided result of today's science courses: graduates
who can huild a bridge hut can't coni|Hise n concerto, who know
Planck's Constant but not llotticelli’s Venus, who are familiar
with Fraunhofer's lines hut not with Schiller's.
Mr. sigafoos can find no solution to this hideous imbalance.
I, however, believe there is one and a very simple one. It is
this if students of science don't have time to come to the arts,
tlii'ii we must let the arts come to students of science.
For oxnmple, it would lie n very easy tiling to teach poetry
and music right along with physics. Students, instead of merely
Is-ing called upon to recite in physics class, would instead l«
required to rhyme their answers and set them to familiar tunes
- hke, for instance, Th< Colonel llogey March. Thus recitations
would not only lie chock-full of important fncts but would, at
tlic same time, excise Uie student to the aesthetic delights of
great music. Here, try it yourself. You all know Tin Colonel
Boyty March. Come, sing along with me:
Physics
Is it'hal ue learn in class.
Pin stein
Said energy is mass.
Newton
Is highfalutin
A nd Pascal's a rascal, .%’s Hoyle.
Do you sie how much more broadening, how much more
uplifting to learn physics this way? Of course you do. What?
\ou want another chorus? By ail means:
Isyden
lie matie the Dydcn jar.
Trolley
He made the Trolley car.
Curie
. ..it in o surrey,
A nd Diesel’s a weasel. So's Hoyle.
Once the student has mastered The Colonel Bogey .VorrA.he
can go on to more complicated melodics like Death and Trans
figuration, the Kroica, and Loot Me Tender.
And when the student, loaded with science and culture,
leaves the classroom and lights his Marlboro, how much more
he will enjoy that filter, that flavor, that pack or box! Because
there will no longer lie an unease gnawing at his soul, no longer
a little voice within him repeating that he is culturally a dolt
He will know— know joyously—that he is a fulfilled man, a
whole man, and he will bask and revel in the pleasure of his
Marl Lire as a colt rolls in new grass-content, complete, truiy
educated-a credit to his college, to himself, and to his tobao-

And while he Is rolling, colt-wise, in the new grass, perhaps
he would stop long enough to try a new cigarette from the
makers of Marlboro—unfiltered, king-sixa Philip Morris
