Abstract	A seminar designed and conducted for foreign and American students entitled, "A Transcultural Seminar on Tradition and Change, on Values in the Twentieth Century," is described as an opportunity to relate individual experience and education to the contemporary scene. The seminar met during the academic year 1966-67 at bi-monthly meetings of 25 participants discussing the topics of family, religion, Iroquois tradition, education in Harlem, physical science and technology, psychology, written tradition, the role and effect of the university, the individual in his society, and the arts. Half of the meetings were devoted to information and opinions presented by students, while the other half consisted of a presentation of a topic by an expert followed by group discussion. The features of the seminar and its members that are covered in the report are the students' backgrounds, attitudes, philosophies of life, reactions to the seminar, and recommendations for future seminars; the faculty's professional fields and contributions to the seminar; the participation of the members and their mutual relationships within the seminar; and the topics covered in the seminar and the manner in which they are discussed. Procedures of data gathering and findings are described. Conclusions and recommendations are followed by appendices on procedures and a bibliography. (Author/KSM)
