Art in<br />
Indonesia<br />
Continuities<br />
and Change<br />
By CLAIRE HOLT. The intriguing<br />
world of Indonesian art<br />
is explored in this unusual and<br />
beautiful book. The author,<br />
who combines experience as a<br />
sculptor and dancer with archaeological<br />
knowledge and<br />
linguistic skills, traces the plastic<br />
and performing arts through<br />
all the major periods of Indonesian<br />
history up to the present.<br />
By examining individual<br />
paintings, sculpture, and architectural<br />
monuments as well as<br />
mask plays, dance dramas, and<br />
shadow plays, she reveals a<br />
highly individualistic and rich<br />
artistic tradition. With more<br />
than two hundred striking illustrations,<br />
many showing objects<br />
never before reproduced,<br />
the book is a work of extraordinary<br />
scope and beauty.<br />

Being Republicans does not insulate faculty<br />
members from Mr. Tuller's charges<br />
of being socialists or leftists, but it does<br />
raise a question about the reality, as opposed<br />
to the appearance, of the social<br />
and political philosophy of faculty members.<br />
There seems to be a distinct tendency<br />
to judge the university from a relatively<br />
small sample. Prof. Alfred E. Kahn,<br />
economics, was for many years held up<br />
by critics as the prime example of the<br />
university's "socialist" thinking, based to<br />
a great extent on his being chairman of<br />
the Department of Economics in the College<br />
of Arts & Sciences, and upon some<br />
testimony he once gave on anti-trust<br />
matters. There followed a long exchange<br />
of letters and visits between Mr. Tuller<br />
and Professor Kahn, during which they<br />
came to know one another well. Criticism<br />
has since shifted to another member<br />
of the economics faculty, Prof. Douglas<br />
Dowd, for a combination of his expressed<br />
political beliefs and for his activity<br />
in behalf of activist causes.<br />
Student conduct, the <strong>Cornell</strong> Daily<br />
Sun, and other universities come into the<br />
argument when one presses CACBE<br />
members beyond the written statements<br />
of Mr. Tuller. "Student dress, student<br />
dirtyness, obscenity" are all issues that<br />
worry CACBE members and feed their<br />
unhappiness. "This is not an attack on<br />
<strong>Cornell</strong>," one pointed out to me last<br />
month, "it's an attack on Keynesianism,<br />
on Harvard if you would, on a universal<br />
sickness."<br />
The second part of the difference of<br />
opinion between Mr. Tuller and the university<br />
has to do with the appropriateness<br />
and even the practicality of establishing<br />
a particular point of view within<br />
the self-governing framework of a university,<br />
even if it is deemed fair or<br />
necessary.<br />
Mr. Tuller explained in a letter to<br />
alumni how he sought in 1959 to deal<br />
with the organizational question:<br />
I think it was later in the month of May<br />
that [former] Dean Sheppard proposed to<br />
me that I endow a chair in the School of<br />
Business which would have as its purpose the<br />
promotion of the free enterprise philosophy<br />
in a variety of ways; by teaching, public<br />
lectures, both on campus and over radio<br />
and television, by writing, which would be<br />
given as wide publicity as possible, and with<br />
research in certain areas where it appeared<br />
it would be most fruitful. I was very<br />
favorably inclined toward this idea, and we<br />
considered at length what could be done<br />
under such a program; what individuals<br />
might be available as occupants of the Chair<br />
and what the title of the Chair should be.<br />
The latter proved to be quite a stumbling<br />
block because I wanted to make it indicative<br />
of its real purpose while the Dean was<br />
