LiteraryPrize Awarded to Professors
Page 3
Two KU professors will share a $1,250 award for their outstanding writing.
Charlton H.K. Hinman, professor of English, and Fritz Heider, professor of psychology, have been named co-winners of the Byron Caldwell Smith award, made every seven years for what is judged the best scholarly writing by a resident of Kansas or the Mississippi valley area.
Hinman is a Shakespearean scholar whose recent 2-volume book is a study of the printing and proof-reading of Shakespeare's first folio of plays.
HEIDER was cited for his book, "The Psychology of Interpersonal Relationships." It earlier won an award from the American Psychological Association.
The winners were also recently named two of the first four University Distinguished Professors appointed by the state Board of Regents.
The Byron Caldwell Smith award, named in honor of a KU professor of Greek in 1873 and 1874, is made annually from the estate of the late Kate Stephens, an alumna of KU and daughter of the University's first dean of the school of law.
THIS YEAR'S winners were selected by a committee composed of the KU director of libraries and deans of the Schools of Law and Medicine, the Graduate School and the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences.
Prof. Heider's book deals with the ways in which people perceive their own behavior and that of others.
Prof. Hinman's book is a detailed study of how early English printers assembled the first folio of Shakespeare's plays.
PROF. HINMAN is known for his invention of a collater, an optical machine with which printed texts can be compared. The machine was used in his research.
From careful studies of the printing, he discovered details of Shakespeare's "First Folio," as the pages were printed in groups of six and two printers worked side by side in the composition.
Page by page, even letter by letter, Hinman traced the printing of the folio. His book lists the use and re-use of hundreds of letters in the printer's typecase. It also notes some errors and omissions.
THIS DETAILED WORK shows how Shakespeare's plays may have been altered in the printing. To know exactly what Shakespeare wrote probably is impossible, some scholars say, but Prof. Hinman's book narrows the areas of uncertainty.
Prof. Heider, a native of Austria, came to the United States after a career in Europe. In the lean economic years following World War I he continued his study and reading. It was during this time he met the men who created Gestalt psychology, based on perception.
After teaching at the University of Hamburg, he came to the United States in 1930, and has been teaching at KU since 1947. It was here that work was completed in 1958 on his award-winning book.
