He was the first speaker in the Informal Seminar Series sponsored by the Graduate School-Graduate Student Coun cil. Addressing himself to a small informal group, Wish explain ed although he is identified with some department he is a policy scientist, or one who ap proaches societal problems from no specific discipline. He emphasized that society has arrived at a crossroads but the change will come only from time or impersonal forces. The position of the University will change—if it changes at all — only through the commitment of the graduate students, he said. Today the university must move away from the traditional roles of an “academic cloister” and “research organism” to the “multiversity” which is able to “serve many masters,” he said. Wish said the educational system today was designed for the 18th and 19th centuries and is no longer adequate to handle modern problems. The world is no longer viewed as a meta physical unity or in absolute terms. Therefore, the organiza tion of the discipline is ineffec tive. Instead, Wish suggested mod ern dilemmas might be effective ly solved by the formation of an inter-disciplinary task force, temporarily organized to meet one specific goal, and then dis volved when the task is com pleted. The speaker suggested re turning to an interdisciplinary apprenticeship system, in which each graduate student is an ap prentice to a professor, with departments and disciplines acting only as administrative units.
