Activities Discussed

Leaders of student extra-curricular activities yesterday agreed on two main reasons that attract undergraduates to outside activities at the symposium "Education Beyond the Classroom."

The five panelists dismissed feelings that the College is overly academic as they defined the place of extra-curricular activities at Harvard. Edward L. Croman '60, President of the Student Council, however, described activities as a release from the pressure of studies.

Other panelists, especially John H. Shenefield '60, President of WHRB, and Alan H. Grossman '60, President of the CRIMSON, called activities a supplement to academics and a method to apply lessons of the classrooms practically.

James D. Lorenz '60, President of the Debate Council, and John Harbison '60, conductor of the Bach Society Orchestra, agreed that activities complemented studies. A student is often restricted in course work from creative art, they felt.
