Most of the books in Hans Toch’s library are heavily marked up. This makes them worthless monetarily, but a treasure to see what he considered significant in the many classics in his library. Many are written by his former students.

WARD H: An Adventure in Innovation

MAY CONTAIN MARKUP

NICK J. COLARELLI

FROM THE PREFACE: “To those who took part in it, the Ward H project was an adventure—an adventure whose story the authors hope to tell in this book. As the project clicited involvement and commitment from every participant, it had a marked personal impact; and as each member of the research team benefited from and built upon his need for the others, the experiment became an immensely gratifying group enterprise. But it is diftcult to convey this side of the story. Only the skilled dramatist could compellingly and accurately tell of the truly human experience of personal growth, pain, triumph, and challenge. The authors, however, are not dramatists; to help overcome the frustrations encountered in describing the Ward H adventure, we offer this introduction as a program ro the play. Through it we wish to sensitize the reader to the story’s most significant aspects. The setting can be found in almost any large organization, where man frequently experiences himself as a cog in a huge impersonal machine over which he has little control and in which he finds little opportunity to realize either his uniqueness or his commonness.”
