Roger Weir Professor Roger Weir's undergraduate work at the University of Wisconsin included studies under Julius Weinberg - Logic and Medieval Philosophy, E.F. Kalin - Aesthetics and Existentialism, William Hay - Greek Philosophy, George L. Mosse - Twentieth Century Revolutions, Helen C. White - Metaphysical Poetry, Carl Rogers - Psychology, John A. Armstrong - History.   After two years of self-study including Architecture and Chinese culture in San Francisco, he passed the GRE's with a score that qualified him for the Humanities Prize Teaching Assistantship at San Francisco University. As a teaching graduate he created and introduced several courses including "Job and Faust: Two Faces of Evil," "Teilhard de Chardin and Vision," and "Hermetic Renaissance."   In San Francisco he studied philosophy with the well-known Jacob Needleman in graduate seminars on Pythagoras, and Heidegger's Being and Time. Professor Needleman is Mr. Weir's oldest friend, and shares his passion for opening up the big questions.   His overall graduate development continued under Dr. Kai-yu Hsu, especially regarding tang dynasty poetry and ancient Chinese Philosophy. Mr. Wier studied Chinese language for two years. Dr. Hsu presented him with a traditional Chinese Scroll degree in his own calligraphy. This degree scroll is a rare instance of a Westerner achieving a Taoist degree for competence in regard to the classic Chinese Mind.   Mr. Weir taught Humanities at the University of California, Berkeley during the era of campus riots. By the spring of 1970, he was invited by the Vice-President of instruction of Mount Royal College, Alberta to design a special curriculum. He designed a 16 course Interdisciplinary Program for a completely new kind of campus and educational pattern. Mount Royal was the prototype of 21 st century education. The model was an open plan structure, "no walls," neither architecturally nor in terms of curriculum. This emphasized integral learning.   Mr. Wier moved to Los Angeles in 1975, refining his understanding of the educational process by studying Vajarayana with Karma Thinly Rinpoche, currently Master of a Kadampa order of Tibetan Buddhism in London. He also researched for twelve years alongside Manly P. Hall. This world famous writer and lecturer chose Roger Weir as his successor. An untimely death left Mr. Hall's Philosophical Research Society in a complicated court battle and finally in the strange hands of previously distant promoters - a familiar scenario in metaphysical societies of our time.
