Display Depicts Early Voyages
An era when voyages around the world were the excitement of the day is depicted in the exhibit in the main lobby of Watson Library. The exhibit, in honor of the Ninth Annual Public Lecture on Books and Bibliography, is centered around the books, travels and times of William Dampier (1652-1715). Dampier will be described in a lecture October 27 by Joseph Shipman, librarian of Linda Hall Library in Kansas City, as a "seaman-scientist." He apprenticed to a Weymouth trader at 16 and was a mariner most of his life. He recounted his travels to the Indies and Southern Seas in books published in 1697, 1699 and 1703. Original copies of these and other rare books are on display with the exhibit.
OTHER BOOKS from the University of Kansas special book collections which are in this display tell of the adventures of buccaneers like Woodes Rogers, who sailed from Bristol in 1708 against the Spanish and returned with a fortune after circumnavigating the globe. Lionel Wafer was another early voyager whose tales are recounted in the exhibit, telling how he fell in with the infamous Captains Cook and Lynch and went buccaneering on the Spanish Main.
Original copies of Jonathan Swift's
Gulliver's Travels are on display. Swift was highly impressed with Dampier as a cartographer and log keeper. He used Dampier's charts and records for placing the seven imaginary countries in the Travels
EQUALLY IMPRESSED with the works of Dampier was Daniel DeFoe, who was inspired to write Robinson Crusoe after reading Dampier's account of the rescue of Alexander Selkirk from four years isolation on Juan Fernandez Island.
This was truly an era of adventure, and while the charts of the times and the ideas of geography held by early voyagers were not entirely correct, many of their theories still hold up today. This exhibit, on display until Oct. 31 and again through December, is one everyone interested in adventure, sea lore, pirates and early science would want to see.
Students Prefer People
UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. — (UPI)
—Penn State students love to talk about people, politics and education.
They don't particularly care to talk about science.
The conclusions are based on an analysis of 1,000 speeches given by Penn State students last year in a speech course which is mandatory for most undergraduates.
