• W1520222795 abstract "THIS STUDENT-PRODUCED 'diary' provides a record of the 1950 Summer Seminar-Workshop conducted by the Institute of General Semantics. Held at The Barrington School in Great Barrington, Massachusetts, from August 14th to September 5th, this seminar is noteworthy as the first after Alfred Korzybski's sudden death six months earlier. The original manuscript, found recently among the Institute's archives, contains more than 40 photographs and roughly twice as much material as that edited and excerpted here. All of these photos can be viewed online at: http://www.dfwcgs.net/etc/ 1950.html. The contributing authors are credited as: Diary Editor: Bob Kenyon; Contributors: O. R. Bontrager, Ph.D., Dick Brenneman, Gwenn Hermann, Stanley Rittenoure. - STEVE STOCKDALE DIARY EDITOR'S STATEMENT This first summer seminar-workshop after the death of Alfred Korzybski had been anticipated by students and members of the Institute with somewhat of a wary attitude - how might this seminar without Korzybski turn out? Certainly there must have been a number who, in the past, gathered to Korzybski in the cultish way they would have gathered to anyone who symbolized some certain something-or-other to them. I think, rather, that the major portion of his students felt important and valuable implications in their study of general semantics. However, I have learned to extensionalize and shall do so in terms of this particular seminar-workshop. I observed, during the first day or so, an atmosphere of questioning and speculation as to just how effective this seminar would be without AK, who had formulated general semantics and introduced the notion of non-Aristotelian systems. The man chosen to present the seminar was Dr. J. S. A. Bois, a clinical psychologist of Montreal. Dr. Bois attended several of Korzybski's seminars and has been applying the principles of general semantics professionally for the last four years. As I saw it, after the first day the students began to warm to Dr. Bois, with his French-Canadian mannerisms and expressive gesticulations. The students seemed to get the idea, after a while, that Bois could not attempt to teach general semantics as Korzybski had; he must give them his own brand simply because Bois is not Korzybski is not Kendig is not Bontrager, etc. This critical point, I believe, was passed during the first week, because at the first Saturday night party a characterization of Bois was given and received with apparent delight by the whole crowd. Toward the end of the seminar-workshop I heard a number of people comment to the effect that the seminar hadn't collapsed without Korzybski after all; they seemed quite satisfied with the activities of the three-week period. I would say there was a structural similarity to be seen in comparing Korzybski's Theory of Happiness [Happiness = Minimum Expectations + Maximum Motivation] and the semantic reactions of the students toward events related to the seminar. Coming to the first seminar after the 'coagulation' of Korzybski induced a sort of automatic 'minimum expectation' such that there was a high probability the seminar would turn out effectively. At any rate, what has happened has happened. A group of forty people lived together for three weeks with a common bond. We studied a non-Aristotelian system for evaluation that promises much toward future successes in all areas of our life-efforts. I overheard several students remark that this was one of the most intellectually stimulating sessions of their lives. We each met people from all parts of the country who were curious, who liked to think and who felt that general semantics might provide them with a valuable tool for evaluation and adjustment in life. Now we've returned to our own fields. Many of us will contribute, in our capacity as Time-binders, to the growth and development of general semantics and its applications to the welfare of people. I have heard people say that general semantics is now only in its adolescence. …" @default.
