'Godwin and Mary'
KU prints old letters
A book of the correspondence between the most remarkable literary couple of the 18th century—a radical, bluestocking women's rights champion and a philosophic anarchist—was published recently by the University of Kansas Press.
The book will later be brought out in England by Constable and Company.
It is "Godwin and Mary: The Correspondence of William Godwin and Mary Wollstonecraft," edited by Ralph M. Wardle, chairman of the English department at the University of Omaha.
THEIR PRIVATE letters have heretofore been unpublished as a whole.
Mary Wollstonecraft, a champion of women's rights, was con-
sideder a radical and a bluestocking and before meeting Godwin, had lived through a stormy emotional involvement with Gilbert Imlay, a wayward American.
Godwin, a rationalist whose philosophic anarchism led him to disapprove of marriage as of other institutions, was in some respects the opposite of Mary, whose ideals and sympathies were those of the new Romantic generation.
BUT. AS THEIR acquaintance ripened, their correspondence increased, and did not stop with their marriage in 1797, which preceded Mary's death by only a few months. Godwin, who lived on for many years, remembered gratefully not only the "personal pleasures I enjoyed in her conversation" but also "the treasures
of her mind" and "the virtues of her heart."
Of the original collection of the letters of Godwin and Mary, the new book prints more than 70 for the first time. Thirty others, previously quoted in part, are given in entirety.
Wardle's "Mary Wollstonecraft: A Critical Biography," was published by the University of Kansas Press in 1951.

Jim doesn't like to look too far into the future, after all as he explains it, he is a student first and that's where his college education comes.
"The days after I graduate are so far off," Ryun says, but he definitely sees track as a part of his life.
"TVE MET few men in track who were not fine people," he says. And that explains why he enjoys the sport so much.
On the off season he still works out morning and evening—365 days a year—and is often seen at football and basketball games working at his favorite hobby—sports photography. Whether he is "shooting" for the Topeka Capital-Journal or a national magazine Ryun is usually on the sidelines somewhere.
As interested parties parleyed about taxes, a co-sponsor of the 16th Annual Tax Conference took time off to pass out gold keys and scholarships.
And as he puts it so often to the hundreds of youngsters and oldsters alike, "Always keep an open mind and never close it to any goal,"—that's the secret of his success.
The Kansas Society of Certified Public Accountants gave seven Kansas collegiate each a five hundred dollar scholarship.
The two top state scorers in the CPA exam got gold keys. One, William E. Lust, Jr. of Wichita, graduated from KU.
In addition to the key, he won praise from the American Institute of CPA's for scoring among the nation's top ten in the exam.
