Dear Colleague:
YOU ARE CORDIALLY INVITED TO
AN~
sponsored
by the NORTHWESTERN UNIVERSITY FOR-!l.-BET-TER -ENVIRONMENT. The students
have planned and organized the Te~~ch-Out for the night of January
23rd and have received support from many members of the faculty and
administration. The program consists of talks by outstanding scientists
and politicians and discussion groups later in the night. A tentative
Program Outline is attached for your information.
We are also requesting that classes being held on January 22nd and
23rd be devoted to a discussion of environmental problems. Many of the
courses in our University already include some material on the
environment, and environmental problems can be worked in naturally
with the subject material in most other courses. With the growing
national and international concern about population, pollution, and
the depletion of resources, it is particularly appropriate for
Northwestern University to take the lead in educating our students
about the true nature of these problems.
