Fanaticism is biggest threat to freedom today, graduates told

516 degrees awarded at 166th commencement Above: Walker Cup recipient Lindsey R. Ciochina; above right: Commencement speaker Eric Schlosser

ed by 2005 Walker Cup recipient Lindsey R. Ciochina, 516 students received diplomas during DePauw’s 166th commencement on May 22. On the lawn of East College, Ciochina and her classmates listened to the commencement address by Eric Schlosser, investigative journalist and author of Fast Food Nation and other best-selling books. Schlosser, who has been called “society’s quiet crusader,” is a correspondent for Atlantic Monthly and a regular guest on network television news programs. He is featured on the recent DVD release of Supersize Me and is working on a book about the American prison system. Schlosser titled his commencement remarks “Freedom,” and he told the graduating seniors that in his view, freedom is under siege today: in business, with more power in fewer hands; in government, which has broader leeway to investigate and conduct covert surveillance on Americans than ever before. “But today, the biggest threat to freedom – and not just in the United States, but throughout the world – is fanaticism. Everywhere fanatics are gaining inﬂuence,” he said. “Reasonable people can disagree in good faith, but today we are facing a severe shortage of reasonable people.” He continued, “On television and on the radio, words like ‘traitor,’ ‘war criminal’ and ‘antiAmerican’ are used to describe political opponents. On campus, political correctness and the

fear of controversy threaten free speech. Students are being encouraged to spy on their teachers, and legislation on behalf of ‘academic freedom’ promises to bring government monitoring into the classroom.” Thomas Jefferson, Schlosser reminded the audience, was the first to argue for a total separation of church and state in the Bill of Rights as well as freedom of religion and the press, and freedom of commerce against monopolies. “If Thomas Jefferson was alive today, I have no doubt that some radio talk show host would call him a traitor,” Schlosser said. “Freedom is never important to the majority in power; it’s important to everyone who disagrees with the majority. It’s important because the majority often proves to be wrong.” Schlosser gave a charge to the graduating seniors, saying, “We must protect the right to seem stupid, to seem foolish, to seem wrong. Because the truth will finally emerge not from the mouth of one great leader, but from the conflicting opinions and honest debate of people like you.” Recognized as the senior who did the most for the University during her four years at DePauw, Walker Cup recipient Ciochina said that she and her classmates were “challenged to open our minds” by their professors and each other. “We are lucky to have attended a small university whose professors and staff members care enough about the development of their students, who know our names and our passions, and who invite Lindsey R. Ciochina with President Robert G. us to their homes for dinner and discussions,” she said. Bottoms Ciochina, an English writing major and economics minor, challenged the Class of 2005: “I hope you will continue on the path of intellectual development and learning throughout your lives. I hope you will find that exciting work that means something more to you than the paycheck you take home every other week. And, I hope you will carry on the example that you have learned at DePauw to do good work, and thereby leave your world in a better situation than where you found it.” 4

A member of Phi Beta Kappa, Ciochina had an impressive record of community service during her four years at DePauw. Among her many accomplishments, she worked with the local chapter of NAACP to operate the organization’s community center, served as a member of the Coalition for a Responsible Community, assisted with the depauw.year1 program and was a tour guide for the Admission Office. She is one of 12 graduating seniors who were accepted by the Teach for America organization, and she will teach in New York City schools for the next two years. DePauw presented honorary degrees to five distinguished individuals, including three alumni. The recipients and their honorary degrees included: •Timothy C. Collins ’78, who graduated with a major in philosophy and is the founder, senior managing director and chief executive officer of Ripplewood Holdings L.L.C. He was named to SmartMoney magazine’s “Power 30.” (Doctor of Humane Letters) •Judith Ann Edstrom ’70 received a B.A. degree with high distinction in European studies and economics. She serves as sector manager of the World Bank’s Social Development Department and has been an articulate advocate for social development and poverty reduction in developing countries. (Doctor of Humane Letters) •Charles A. Leis ’52, an economics major at DePauw, is the chief executive officer of A.F. Leis Co., Inc., a worldwide provider of implants and instrumentation to the orthopedic and spinal fields. (Doctor of Business Administration)

More new DePauw graduates than ever will Teach for America A record 12 DePauw graduating seniors were accepted this year by Teach for America, the national corps of outstanding recent college graduates from all majors who commit two years to teach in urban and rural public schools, becoming lifelong leaders in the effort to expand education and opportunity. A total of 38 DePauw students submitted applications to Teach for America, and 14 were accepted. Two of the 14 are juniors who will not join the corps until next year. That represents one of the highest application acceptance rates for Teach for America, which coordinates approximately 3,000 corps members teaching in more than 1,000 schools

in 22 regions across the country. As a result, Teach for America is the largest single employer of graduating members of the Class of 2005. The group of graduating seniors feature quality as well as quantity. Among them are the editor of The DePauw student newspaper, two Bonner Scholars, two fraternity presidents, two Hartman Center interns, three depauw.year1 mentors, chair of the Putnam County Relay for Life, president of Circle K, president of Bonner Scholars, a football player, president of the Order of Omega, president of Colleges Against Cancer, and founder and president of Students Promoting Active Citizen Engagement.

The 2005 Putnam County Relay for Life sets many records The 2005 Putnam County Relay For Life – which beneﬁted the American Cancer Society – was a record-setter in many ways. First, the nation’s oldest college-run Relay raised $230,751.73, which smashed the previous high of $208,735 last year. Approximately 160 teams and 2,000 walkers – including more than 100 cancer survivors – were in attendance during the 24-hour-long event, and more than 3,700 luminarias were purchased and lit in honor of cancer victims. All are record numbers. Putnam County Relay For Life has seen phenomenal growth over the years. In 1998, the event raised $20,000. The 1999 total of approximately $30,000 was eclipsed by $42,000 in 2000. Then 2001 brought in $80,000, followed by $127,000 in 2002, more than $162,000 in 2003 and last spring’s $208,735. The fundraiser, which is coordinated by DePauw students, is consistently ranked among the top college-run Relays in the nation in terms of participation and dollars raised. The 2004 event received the All-American Relay Award and was ranked sixth in the nation in money raised per capita, based on the local population.

DePauw students study in 22 countries during the spring semester Eighty-eight DePauw students studied off-campus in 22 countries during the spring semester. DePauw students were in the following countries: Argentina, Australia, China, Costa Rica, Czech Republic, Denmark, Ecuador, England, Egypt, France, Germany, Ghana, Ireland, Italy, Japan, Mexico, Netherlands, New Zealand, Scotland, South Africa, Spain and United States. According to Open Doors 2004, an annual report on international education, DePauw is among the top 10 American colleges and universities in terms of students studying abroad.

Middle East democracy and singing at The Duck Editor:

(and humbled) because after all my presumed academic and professional

When I saw the full-page ad in the Providence Journal, I wondered if it could be possible. Dr. Saad Eddin Ibrahim, professor of sociology at American University Cairo (AUC) and founder of the Ibn Khaldun Center for Development Studies was scheduled to give the Stephen A. Saad Eddin Ibrahim Ogden Jr. Memorial Lecture during the 25th Annual Providence Journal Brown University public affairs conference on April 3, 2005. The theme was “Democracy in the Middle East, Is it Possible?” I heard the name several times, in recent months over National Public Radio, with some vague references to “terrorist” or “dissident” activities and often wondered if it could be the same person. My thoughts went back to 1968, to an exotic, young DePauw faculty member in the sociology and anthropology department in Asbury Hall. I remembered someone who chain smoked cigarettes with that thumb-andindex-ﬁnger grip, reminiscent of the familiar “ok” signal that guys use with each other. Could such a memory link with a possible contender for the presidency of Egypt? I arrived at Brown’s Salomon Center for Teaching and Learning 20 minutes early and instantly recognized Dr. Ibrahim posing with his wife, Barbara (Lethem ’70) for photos with dignitaries in the foyer. Lingering on the sidelines, I chose my moment and approached. Before I could barely get a word out of my mouth, he said, “I know you from somewhere. I remember you singing at The Duck.” (In 1966-68 I sang in a combo known as The Talismen. We often played at The Duck – a student coffee-house just off campus behind Asbury Hall.) I was stunned! First, that this world-renowned man remembered me at all after nearly 40 years – including his imprisonment at hard labor in 2000

achievements, he remembered me for singing at The Duck. Dr. Ibrahim addressed three questions during his inspirational presentation. Are the people of the Middle East ready for democracy? He pointed out the elections in Iraq, Turkey, Morocco, Saudi Arabia and elsewhere as evidence that the people were ready to support democratic forms of government. What to do about the Islamic groups? He told the story of discussing this with Islamic leaders during his imprisonment and pointing out that there were “Christian Democrats” in Western democracies, why not “Islamic Democrats in Egypt?” Finally, what did the people of the Middle East want from the Western democracies? “Not tanks, bombs and armies, that’s for sure,” he said.

for trumped-up charges related to state security. Secondly, I was stunned

He asked us to tell our leaders, “Don’t deal with dictators! – meaning use our foreign aid, subsidies and other means at our disposal to leverage change among dictatorial regimes. How about, “if you have a free election, we will extend your foreign aid for another year?” Dr. Ibrahim talked for about an hour and responded to several questions. When the session ended, he clung to the podium. Later, I realized that he was waiting for help. After abusive imprisonment and subsequent back surgery, he was unable to leave the podium without help – a symbolic commentary on leadership. Sometimes the responsibility of leadership chooses us, not the reverse. Clearly with Dr. Ibrahim, the mantle of leadership has tapped him on the shoulder and asked more than most of us would want to give. In the cascade of all that international fame, he still held the faint mental picture of that 20-year-old DePauw student singing at The Duck. In turn, my mental picture of that shining statesman of democracy, and his message of hope in the Middle East, will remain vivid for decades to come. – Robert J. Marshall Jr. ’68 Barrington, R.I.

Harry J. Brown, assistant professor of English, Injun Joe’s Ghost: The Indian Mixed-Blood in American Writing (University of Missouri Press – ISBN: 0-8262-1530-0). Brown addresses the question of what it means to be mixed-blood within the interrelated contexts of anthropology, U.S. Indian policy, and popular fiction by white and mixed-blood writers, mapping the evolution from a biological to a cultural category. He traces the processes that once mandated the mixedblood’s exile as an outcast and the recent ascendancy as a cultural hero in contemporary Native American writing. Thomas S. Dickinson, professor of education studies, co-author with C. Kenneth McEwin and Michael G. Jacobson, Programs and Practices in K-8 Schools: Do They Meet the Educational Needs of Young Adolescents? (National Middle School Association – ISBN: 1-56090-149-7). Programs and Practices explores the latest trend toward K-8 schools vs. the traditional middle schools for adolescent students. The authors sent questionnaires to randomly selected K-8 schools across the U.S. The data was compiled and compared to programs and practices across the education spectrum, and the information is included in texts, graphs, tables and pie charts. Thomas B. Grooms ’66 with photographer Taylor J. Lednum, The Majesty of Capitol Hill (Pelican Publishing Company – ISBN: 978-1-58980-228-5). Capitol Hill, known as the home of the U.S. Congress, is also the site of a quiet neighborhood of 8,000 structures that comprise the largest Victorian historic district in the U.S. Grooms documents more than two dozen structures that are a virtual museum of 19th-century American architecture. Nowhere else in Washington is the original plan of Pierre L’Enfant, the man who laid out the city, better preserved than on Capitol Hill. Grooms works in the Office of the Chief Architect of the U.S. General Services Administration. Emmanuel D. Harris, assistant professor of modern languages (Spanish), translator, Malambo (Swan Isle Press – ISBN: 0-9748881-0-9). Malambo explores the origins of the Afro-Hispanic experience and offers a profound meditation on the forces of history. The novel, written by Lucía Charún-Illescas and translated by Harris, follows the central character, Tomason, an African artist living along the Rimac who paints religious murals for the church and his colonial masters. The combination of Tomason’s Yoruba heritage and his life in a Spanish colony lead to the deeper truths of his painful and complex experience. Robert G. Harrell ’91, Big Top (Andrews McMeel Publishing – ISBN: 0-7407-5004-6). Pete, Wink, Dusty and the rest of the Big Top characters are a few dimensions beyond the animals of Siegfried and Roy and The Ringling Bros. Harrell introduced Big Top in 2002, and the comic strip has garnered attention around the world. The lessons and humor of this three-ring circus keep the comic strip audience entertained, whether poking fun at pop culture or shedding new light and laughter on life’s quandaries. James M. Mannon, professor emeritus of sociology, Epilogue: Poems of Love and Loss (AuthorHouse – ISBN: 1-4208-3311-1). Mannon’s non-fiction poetic narrative, Epilogue, captures the last days and months he spent with his wife, Sue, who died of cancer. Each poem expresses how love can be found, nurtured and kept vibrant in the face of death. Mannon has written numerous books, including Measuring Up: The Performance Ethic in American Culture. Kent A. Ono ’87, editor, Asian American Studies After Critical Mass (Blackwell Publishing – ISBN: 1-4051-1597-1) and A Companion to Asian American Studies (Blackwell Publishing – ISBN: 1-4051-1595-5). Ono’s compilation of scholarship and essays in these volumes suggests

R E C E N T W

Asian American studies is at a point of understanding at which scholars are willing and able to sustain serious reconsideration and critique of the ﬁeld, its history, and of Asian American as a concept. Ono is professor of Asian American studies and communications at the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign. Clarenda M. Phillips ’92, co-editor with Tamara L. Brown and Gregory S. Parks, African American Fraternities and Sororities: The Legacy and the Vision (The University Press of Kentucky – ISBN: 0-8131-2344-5). With consideration that little has been written about African American Greek organizations and the men and women who founded and perpetuated them, African American Fraternities and Sororities reveals the social and political functions of the African American Greek-letter organizations and places them within the history of not only the African American community but also the nation as a whole. Phillips is an assistant professor of sociology at Morehead State University. Timothy S. Simer ’76, The Coterian Retreat (Vantage Press – ISBN: 0-533-14869-3). Simer’s narrative of his childhood days allows the reader to follow along while he struggles with bullies, budding romances and his parents’ divorce. The story begins in 1961, when Simer’s family moves to the midwestern industrial town of Hamilton, Ohio. His book emphasizes family, friends and community during a time when people felt more connected to their neighbors and surroundings. Simer is the business manager for the Drury Lane Theatre in Chicago. Richard M. St. Clair ’66, love@thespeedoffear (Never Die Books – ISBN: 0-9766570). For nearly 20 years, Pelham, Mass., painter and writer Richard St. Clair has spent a month every summer traveling to biker rallies across the country on his 1961 Harley Davidson. His 300-page novel follows the fate of Matt Jones, whom the author describes as a “middle age, down-but-notout biker,” as he sets out on a cross-country trip looking for freedom and happiness.

Wielenberg, assistant professor of philosophy, Value and Virtue in a Godless Universe (Cambridge University Press – ISBN: 0-521-84565-3). In the introduction, Wielenberg cites the movie Signs to illustrate the premise of his book, using the movie’s storyline about an attempted invasion of Earth from outer space and an examination of religious faith. Wielenberg reasons “that even if God does not exist, human life can have meaning, we do have moral obligations, and virtue is possible.” He “sees virtue in a Godless universe as different from virtue in a Christian universe, and he develops naturalistic accounts of humility, charity and hope.” Steven D. Womack ’75, Cyclopean Rescue: A Story of Redemption (Whiskey Creek Press – ISBN: 1-59374-284-3). It is the year 2218, 10 years after alien invaders have devastated much of the world and left the survivors recovering from fear and destruction. The son of a famous military hero, James Poole gets his chance to hunt down the aliens and avenge his father’s death at their hands. Womack is an adjunct history professor at Casper (Wyo.) College.

THE TEACHING OF

ETHICS AT

DEPAUW UNIVERSITY

A Conversation with David H. Smith

The ethical issues that individuals and society struggle with today are anything but easy. They concern choices unlike those ever presented in history â&#x20AC;&#x201C; about the use of new technologies for reproduction, about the ways in which the ill and

aging will be cared for as they approach death, about how people should use the wealth that they or their families or their nation possess.

David H. Smith, Robert and Carolyn Frederick Distinguished Visiting Professor of Ethics, served as a catalyst for energetic discussion of these and other timely topics on the DePauw campus during the 2004-05 academic year. A nationally respected authority and teacher in the ﬁeld of bioethics, Smith challenged students to consider ethical questions from new angles and encouraged faculty members to appreciate their crucial role in the teaching of ethics, both through the curriculum and by example. These conversations will continue at DePauw, because Smith has been appointed to a second year as a visiting professor. He brings a wealth of research and experience to the position. Smith retired in 2003 after 21 years as director of the Poynter Center for the Study of Ethics and American Institutions, which focused on the teaching of ethics, care for the dying, research ethics, ethics and genetic testing, and corporate responsibility. He was a faculty member in the Department of Religious Studies at Indiana University from 1967 to 2003 and served as its chair from 1976 to 1984. Before coming to DePauw, Smith was a visiting scholar at the Institute for Social and Policy Studies at Yale University. He holds bachelor’s degrees from Carleton College and Yale Divinity School and a doctoral degree from Princeton University. He has written 11 books – most recently, Partnership With the Dying: How Medicine and Ministry Should Work Together – and more than 40 articles. Smith’s commitment to the teaching of ethics is highly regarded in an era of unprecedented ethical dilemmas. Recently, he discussed a few ethics-related questions with DePauw Magazine.

David Smith and a panel of faculty members engaged in a discussion of ethics issues with members of the DePauw Board of Trustees on April 21.

TEACHING ETHICS AT DEPAUW DEPAUW MAGAZINE: How do you deﬁne ethics? DAVID SMITH: Ethics is the study of the criteria we appeal to when we have to justify our decisions or choices, to ourselves or to each other. DEPAUW MAGAZINE: What place should ethics education have in higher education, especially at a liberal arts university? DAVID SMITH: It has always seemed to me that ethics is either the most important thing someone can study or the biggest waste of time. If people have no real freedom at all or if no one ever began to look at the world in a new way, ethics would be a waste of time. But we do have some freedom, and we do come to look at things differently; I contend that ethics is a very important subject of study.

DEPAUW MAGAZINE: Why is ethics an important topic to college students today? DAVID SMITH: Students at a university like DePauw have a range of choices that few other people have had. At the same time, just what values should guide those choices is less clear than ever. Neither DePauw, nor any faculty member nor their peers should dictate to students what those values are or should be. They need to discover what they value. They need companions and conversation partners as they probe and investigate.

MICHELE T. VILLINSKI Assistant Professor of Economics and Management The discipline of economics has its roots in moral philosophy. Most economics courses today focus primarily on theoretical models, data analysis, and business and policy questions, many of which have an ethical component. In my Contemporary Economic Problems course, we looked at whether a market system would be appropriate to use for organ donations. Learning about a model economists use for valuing a human life – more precisely, computing the value of a reduction in the statistical probability of death – naturally led to a conversation about whether human life is truly priceless and whether it is moral to assign a dollar value to life. Similarly, use of cost-beneﬁt analysis in environmental economics and in policy analysis is built on utilitarian philosophy. Students need to have at least a rudimentary understanding of the ethical underpinning of economics in order to be more critical learners and more judicious practitioners of the discipline. One aspect of our academic community that I believe falls at least loosely under the ethics rubric and that I think needs more emphasis is the crucial importance of personal integrity – including but not limited to integrity in academic work. If we can nurture and fortify a sense of integrity in each of our students, we can dare to hope that each of them will continue to ask difﬁcult ethical questions, examine their own ethical choices, and pursue ethical living in all facets of their life in Greencastle and beyond. And that is indeed a comforting thought.

DePauw owes students a curriculum that will support and provoke their reﬂections and conversations. Otherwise, we leave them ill prepared for the world they will enter after commencement. DEPAUW MAGAZINE: Hasn’t ethics been an inherent part of the liberal arts curriculum at DePauw? DAVID SMITH: Like many ﬁne liberal arts colleges and universities, DePauw has a good track record in supporting serious thinking about ethics. In the 19th century, DePauw presidents probably taught capstone courses in the subject. But ethics 15

was somewhat de-emphasized in the ﬁrst portions of the 20th century as immigration and cultural change forced the question “Whose ethics, anyway?” Moreover, an intellectual model in which facts and values were crisply distinguished was remarkably powerful in mid-century. The civil rights movement, counter-culture and opposition to (not to mention defense of) the Vietnam War brought values back into the academy with great force. Few faculty members today will argue that liberal education is only about facts, not values. Yet the teaching of ethics is a different kind of teaching than many faculty members were trained to do; some faculty members may think that the only choices are dogmatism or relativism. Faculty members who get together to work on issues in ethics are empowered to improve the teaching of ethics. Like most U.S. colleges and universities, DePauw needs more of that: more disciplined faculty study and conversation about ethics leading to improved consideration of ethics issues in the classroom.

TEACHING ETHICS AT DEPAUW ROBERT P. HERSHBERGER Associate Professor of Modern Languages (Spanish), Dean and Martha Dunlavy Mitchell Faculty Fellowship, James Whitcomb Riley Distinguished Professor Award, Exemplary Teaching Award given jointly by the General Board of Higher Education of the United Methodist Church through the support of the Crane Distinguished Teaching Award Fund As a professor of Spanish, I am acutely aware of the social inequities often experienced by Hispanic populations, both locally and nationally. As the Spanish language becomes more commonplace in our society, we, as language professors, have an obligation to legitimize the language and those who speak it. To my mind, this is essentially an ethical issue and one that belongs in our classroom as much as our treatment of -ar, -er and -ir verbs. 16

David Smith taught a course on medical ethics during the spring semester. In my discipline, language is best acquired and retained experientially. Service learning – a methodology that combines teaching, learning and reflection in the context of helping a local community – has tremendous potential in the promotion of ethical issues. Last year I offered an intermediate-level Spanish class that had a service learning thread for those students interested in helping a local Hispanic population acquire proficiency in English. While working with this community, my students were exposed to a host of ethical issues stemming from the sub-standard rights as citizens held by members of the Hispanic community. The value of teaching ethics should be part and parcel of the DePauw experience. For that to take place, ethics should be modeled, experienced, reflected upon and practiced as a vibrant thread of the curriculum. For ethics to have intrinsic value to the DePauw experience, it has to infuse, and sometimes complicate, the courses we teach, rather than to simply exist as a text that we return to the shelf after the semester has ended.

TEACHING ETHICS AT DEPAUW BETH D. BENEDIX Assistant Professor of Religious Studies My discipline is by nature interdisciplinary: I focus on the crossovers between literature, religious studies and philosophy. It seems intuitive and natural to me that our class discussions should venture quite often into the realm of ethics. I believe that every encounter with a literary, philosophical or religious text offers the possibility for learning something about our own convictions about the way the world works; for considering how to put these convictions into practice; and for rethinking these convictions if, after reflection, they turn out to be unviable. If ethical reflection grows organically out of the course material, I believe that the teaching of ethics is very valuable. By “organic,” I mean that there is a natural connection between the questions that are being asked about the material and the material itself. The teaching of ethics cannot be forced or artificial, and it can’t be driven by personal agenda. If ethical reflection simply doesn’t fit into a course curriculum, the instructor should not feel compelled to make it fit. If our chief concern revolves around our students becoming engaged and critical thinkers, this can be achieved in any number of ways. There will certainly be powerful and valuable moments of intersection for students over the course of their time here at DePauw, moments when students make connections between courses across the curriculum that have a lasting impact on who they will become. We as faculty members should continue to work to enrich these moments and to make them more and more frequent for our students.

DEPAUW MAGAZINE: How does the teaching of ethics help students prepare to lead lives of purpose and meaning? DAVID SMITH: Every student, from the ﬁrst day of college, is thinking what she or he will do after graduation. In what causes do they want to invest themselves? Faculty members must hold before them a vision of a life that students will be able to look back on with self-respect. If the teaching of ethics isn’t relevant to their thought about that, it has failed miserably. DEPAUW MAGAZINE: What is the role of faculty members in teaching ethics inside and outside the classroom? DAVID SMITH: Faculty members are the key players. However much we would like to keep ourselves completely out of the equation, the personal example of faculty members is a powerful dimension of the teaching of ethics. I remember the personalities and the examples of my best undergraduate professors much more clearly than anything they ever said. Students need to accept us for the imperfect people of clay we are, but we best not pretend that they aren’t looking. DEPAUW MAGAZINE: What new programs, courses or other ethics programming would you introduce for students and faculty members? DAVID SMITH: If I could wave a magic wand, I’d see more units on ethics in a variety of courses across the curriculum, including some new courses related to speciﬁc areas; for example, research ethics and ethics and the media that would complement existing courses in corporate responsibility and medical ethics. And I’d see a variety of events that would engage students in the structured discussion of issues in ethics.

“Faculty members are the key players. However much we would like to keep ourselves completely out of the equation, the personal example of faculty members is a powerful dimension of the teaching of ethics.”

TEACHING ETHICS AT DEPAUW DEPAUW MAGAZINE: Will DePauw alumni have the opportunity to be involved in ethics programming? DAVID SMITH: DePauw should involve alumni for at least two reasons. First, alumni care about the school, even if they are healthily critical of it, and can bring their life experiences to these discussions. Second, alumni may well have something to learn not only from faculty members but also from students and each other. The old joke that education is “too good to be wasted on the young” is not just a joke, and we don’t outgrow the need to think about ethics. Maybe that’s why I’ve stayed as a professor of the subject: I keep needing remedial work!

DANA DUDLE Assistant Professor of Biology Coordinator of the Women in Science Program Many of the important ethical tangles of our time have biological, medical or environmental aspects: How should we define the beginning and the end of a human life? How should we value the existence of rare species relative to the growth, safety and economic well-being of human societies? How much environmental testing should we complete before we embark on a program of genetic engineering at a global scale? If developing scientists learn to construct and evaluate ethical arguments from discussions of issues like these in their science classes, I would hope that they would be better prepared to address similar difficult issues once they become researchers, doctors, lawmakers or teachers. In the first week of my upper-level conservation biology course last fall, the students and I read and discussed [conservationist] Aldo Leopold’s The Land Ethic before I asked them to develop and write a statement describing their own environmental ethic. The course content was framed by questions such as “How should we humans limit our freedom of action to ensure the continued existence of other organisms and their habitats?” and “How can we use scientific inquiry to help us balance issues of habitat destruction, social justice and economic growth at local and global scales?” In my science courses for non-majors, we explore how the scientific facts relate to the people who are affected by the science. I try to link discussions of how science is done with consideration of how scientific inquiry affects all of us. Ethics is a very important part of these discussions.

Don’t miss an opportunity to meet David Smith! David Smith, the Robert and Carolyn Frederick Distinguished Visiting Professor of Ethics, will be featured this fall at DePauw alumni events around the country. Event details will be mailed to alumni in advance. Or check the Alumni Relations Web site, www.depauw.edu/alumni, for an up-todate schedule.

DEPAUW MAGAZINE: What are your goals for the teaching of ethics at DePauw? DAVID SMITH: Today’s undergraduates are closer in age to my grandchildren than to my three grown children. I like them, learn from them, and on my good days have something to teach them. The Fredericks’ magniﬁcent gift [for the visiting professorship in ethics] has made it possible for me to spend a wonderful year with a diverse group of DePauw students. Luckily for me, I’ll be around again in 2005-06. DePauw has a chance to do something very special in relation to the teaching of ethics – to improve on some programs developed at Harvard and Princeton. If I can help get the initiative launched, I’ll be very proud.

“DePauw has a chance to do something very special in relation to the teaching of ethics – to improve on some programs developed at Harvard and Princeton.”

TEACHING ETHICS AT DEPAUW SHARON M. CRARY Assistant Professor of Chemistry Traditionally, the direct teaching of scientific ethics has not been considered an essential component of any science major. We tend to focus on teaching what we consider to be the scientific tenets within our fields and often do not spend much time considering the teaching of ethics, which is easy to think of as a separate field entirely. The teaching of this field at the undergraduate level is a relatively new concept. This means that DePauw could be among the first colleges to incorporate ethics into its scientific curriculum, which obviously provides opportunities for professional growth among the science faculty. As for our students, those who choose to continue with graduate studies in the sciences will certainly be better prepared for graduate schools if they have a solid training in ethics. I have a strong interest in a field of ethics that is somewhat sepa-

rate from the general idea of scientific ethics as I have phrased it here. During my post-doctoral training at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, I developed a commitment to education within the field of international public health. This is a field that many DePauw students also find compelling. A number of our students are able to learn about international public health issues through experiences during Winter Term or through the newly established campus branch of the Timmy Foundation, an international organization that works to improve health services and education for children. The variety of ethical questions and issues within this field is huge and certainly could also provide an exciting area of study at DePauw University.

Charles “Charlie” C. Roberts ’48 1924-2005

After graduation from DePauw, Charlie received a M.B.A. from Northwestern in 1949. He and Mary were married in 1950, and he was with Inland Steel Corporation until 1954, when he joined DeKalb Ag, an industry leader in genetic development of agricultural seed stocks, from which he retired as chairman in 1994. Charlie and Mary Roberts have been substantial benefactors of DePauw through both capital and annual giving. Mary served on the DePauw Board of Trustees (1980-92). Charlie regularly accompanied her to meetings in Greencastle, claiming it gave him an opportunity to hone his golf game at Windy Hill. He served on the DePauw Board of Visitors (1979-82). Mary was awarded an honorary Doctor of Humane Letters degree by DePauw in 1999. Charlie entered DePauw as a Rector Scholar in 1942 and was graduated in 1948 following Navy service (1943-46). He was a member of Delta Kappa Epsilon and a letterwinner in football and basketball. He liked to tell the story of his being the back-up quarterback one season to an All-American from a larger school, who had been transferred to DePauw under the Navy’s officer training program, and how, when Charlie occasionally was substituted for him, his entrance into the game would be greeted with audible “boos” from the crowd. Charlie’s undergraduate experience, as matter

of fact, was predictive of the breadth of his later years. Capping it was his election as student body president and his being the Walker Cup recipient in 1948. He was a member of Gold Key. Charlie’s interest in DKE, passed down from his father (an Illinois Deke) and his brothers, continued after DePauw days. He was the “linchpin” in an original golf group of eight DePauw Dekes, the survivors of whom gathered annually for 41 years to re-live DePauw and complain about shanked drives and missed putts. Charlie and Mary’s enduring support of DePauw is mirrored in their contributions to their “hometown” – the DeKalb-Sycamore community in northern Illinois. They are credited with being the driving force behind the creation of Kishwaukee Community Hospital, serving both DeKalb and Sycamore; the initial capital establishing the DeKalb County Community Foundation, now the major charitable organization in the county, came from the Roberts family. Charlie’s death brought an avalanche of tributes from many sources, including the following from the Daily Chronicle in DeKalb: “Charlie Roberts’ life was an outstanding example of personal and corporate responsibility.”

The DePauw community was deeply saddened by news of the death of Charles “Charlie” C. Roberts, Class of 1948, on May 8, 2005. Charlie died in his home in DeKalb, Ill. A non-smoker, he succumbed to a virulent form of lung cancer, which had been detected and diagnosed less than six weeks earlier. He is survived by his wife, Mary Roberts ’48; children Douglas C. Roberts ’74, Virginia Roberts Holt ’77 and John T. Roberts ’80; 13 grandchildren; and two brothers, Frank H. Roberts ’41 and John C. Roberts, Dartmouth ’44. Others in the DePauw ranks from his extended family include: nieces Anne Roberts Krause ’68 and Patricia L. Roberts ’71; nephews Dr. Charles C. Roberts ’70, Thomas A. Roberts ’73 and Frank H. Roberts ’83; and daughter-in-law Robin Richey Roberts ’80.

– DePauw University is grateful to William F. Welch ’40 for his assistance in preparing this tribute.
