Goddard College Vermont Emphasizes Informality and Student Duty
The Vermont college uses a nontraditional approach with 90 students in dungarees, first name terms with professors, and no fixed curricula. Students work yearly in factories or psychiatric wards, conduct discussions led by instructors, and rarely fail, as advisors align study with interests while most finish in four years. An October 1955 inspection sticker rules windshield placement.

Salk Vaccine Seen Controlling Paralytic Polio in Years Ahead
Detroit UP Surgeon General Leonard A. Scheele told the Economic Club the Salk vaccine should bring paralytic polio under effective control in 1956 and the years ahead with vaccines against other viruses expected soon. He cited mass immunization success and preliminary Public Health Service data showing vaccinated children had 25 to 50 percent fewer polio cases than non vaccinated peers. Scheele noted lower paralytic rates among seven million vaccinated children and possible brief later fluctuations, while Folsom projected vaccine supplies may meet five to nine year olds’ needs by year end.
