THE NEWS

• George Nelson ’29 ARC ’31 is not as famous as some of his modernist contemporaries, such as Frank Lloyd Wright or Charles and Ray Eames. But as the focus of an exhibition and a recent symposium at the School of Architecture, he may be worth rediscovering. On Friday and Saturday, the School of Architecture hosted a symposium on Nelson’s life, work and legacy. The conference, organized by Dietrich Neumann, a professor of history of art and architecture at Brown University, was planned in conjunction with the retrospective of Nelson’s work, “George Nelson: Architect, Writer, Designer, Teacher,” currently on view at the second-floor gallery in the School of Architecture’s Rudolph Hall.
• Undergraduates hoping to pursue careers in education may be running out of options as the University continues to phase out what remains of the Education Studies track. Yale canceled its Teacher Preparation program in 2010, citing budgetary issues and the pre-professional nature of the training program, but continued to offer a series of courses under the Education Studies umbrella. The University’s decision to end Teacher Preparation caused then-Director of Education Studies Jack Gillette to resign. Professor Linda Cole-Taylor currently runs the track and teaches the majority of its courses, but she will also leave at the end of the semester after the University rejected many parts of her proposal.
• The dining room of the Afro-American Cultural Center was strewn with white and purple cloth on Friday night for the inaugural Edward A. Bouchet Ball commemorating the 45th anniversary of the Black Student Alliance at Yale. More than 150 students and several faculty and alumni attended the culminating event of BSAY’s homecoming week, a weeklong series of panels and events intended to promote discussion about the history of black students at Yale. The Bouchet Ball raised around $1,300 through $10 dinner fees for their first-ever “First Steps, Second Chances” scholarship, which was granted to Johnnasia Sanford, a previously incarcerated New Haven student.
