SUMMER SESSION 1947
Black Mountain College will have an eight weeks summer session, offering opportunities which are not always available to our students during the rest of the year. We will have a guest faculty of distinction in music and the humanities and will offer courses in other fields.
Erwin Bodky, pianist and harpsichordist, from the Longy School of Music, Cambridge, will conduct study in the development of keyboard music and will appear in concert.
Carol Brice, guest contralto with Serge Koussevitsky at the Berkshire Music Festival last season and member of the 1945 Music Institute, will sing in recital during part of the session.
Edward Lowinsky, of our regular music faculty, will continue his work in chorus and ensemble. Gretel Lowinsky, violist, will also be in residence. Additional faculty in violin and cello are anticipated.
Work in painting and drawing will be taught by Ilya Bolotowsky of New York City. Mr. Bolotowsky has taught here this year while Josef and Anni Albers have been on leave of absence.
Courses in weaving will be given by Franziska Mayer and Trude Guermonprez. Mary Gregory will teach woodworking. Johanna Jalowetz will supervise bookbinding twice a week.
Beaumont Newhall of the Museum of Modern Art, who was a member of the summer Art Institute faculty of 1946, will teach photography.
Frank Aydelotte Rice from the faculty of the College of the City of Charleston will work with students who are interested in German language and literature.
Erich Kahler, historian and author of MAN THE MEASURE, will be here part of the summer to conduct seminars in World Government and in the Crisis of the Individual.
Charles Bell of Princeton University will teach courses in English and the Humanities. He is especially interested in research in cultural integration and has a unique collection of ancient instruments, records and prints.
Harold Sproul, cellist, will offer work in writing, music and humanities.
Carl Clement, who is engaged in research on the cyclotron at the University of California, will come to teach in the fields of physics and history of science.
Some of our regular faculty members who are spending the summer here will offer courses in their special fields: Dr. Herbert A. Miller in general sociology; Dr. Max Dehn in mathematics and philosophy; Dr Fritz Hansgirg in organic chemistry is there is sufficient demand; Davic Corkran in American literature since the Civil War.
Guest faculty in drama cannot yet be listed.
Special projects on the work program are likely to involve moving the library to its new government-given quarters, redesigning the old library cottage for some other function, harvesting on the farm, in addition, of course, to routine tasks of dish-washing, trash-hauling, cleaning and repairing.
Summer session dates are June 30 to August 23. The summer session carrier an inclusive fee of $380 for the eight weeks. The same principles of adjustment apply as in the case of the regular session. For these, please consult the section on finances in the Annual Announcements. Veterans should write for information.
Lino Bartoli, artist violin teacher of Baylor University, and Mrs. Bartoli, pianist, will give lecture recitals on the development of the piano-violin sonata and will lead string ensembles. Mr. Bartoli was formerly first violinist with the Pittsburg Symphony, and concert master of both the Pittsburg Opera Company and the Pittsburg String Sinfonietta.
