French theater expert now visiting at KU
An author, professor, and former radio commentator has come to KU as Rose Morgan visiting professor of French literature.
Jacques Scherer contributed, in absentia, to the first issue of "Modern Drama," a KU publication. He wrote an article, "Marivaux and Pirandello," about the relationship between the French 18th century playwright and the great Italian writer—Pirandello—for the May, 1958, issue of the University's scholarly journal.
He is the French editor-in-chief for the publication.
Scherer, as professor of French, will teach two three-hour credit courses in 18th century French theater and on Moliere, the great playwright of the 17th century.
"I have known Ronald Tobin (chairman of the department of French and Italian) for many years, I met him in France," said Scherer, "and he encouraged me to come to KU."
As director of the Institute of Theatral Studies at the University of Paris, Scherer created the program of studies for progression to degrees in the Sorbonne, the faculty of letters in the University of Paris.
The program is not practical training in acting and directing as we know it at KU, Scherer said, but it is a scholarly program of the history and works of the theater.
"The French theater is very lively. Interesting new forms are coming up rapidly," he said. "Of course, the theater of the absurd is still a very vital form."
Scherer's specialty is the 17th and 18th century French theater. Not much of that type of theater
IBM
Salesmen:
HOW WOULD YOU LIKE TO DEAL WITH THE MANAGEMENT OF AMERICA'S TOP COMPANIES?
That's what you would do as a sales representative for the Office Products Division of IBM. And that's significant.
Because as an IBM representative you're more than just another "hardware salesman." You're helping management solve their "word processing" problems with some of the most advanced equipment ever manufactured—including the famous "Selectric" Typewriter, "Executary" dictation systems, and the new Magnetic Tape "Selectric" Typewriter, and Magnetic Composing Equipment.
No wonder the top men in the business leave their doors open to the IBM sales representative, is it?
If you have a college degree, and if you're looking for a growing future with a growing company—drop us a line. You may be the mature, intelligent, go-places kind we are looking for. And we could be the company you're looking for.
