KU Press Publishes Books By Three Faculty Members
The University of Kansas Press has published three works by KU faculty members.
They are a translation from the Danish of Vilhelm Groenbech's "Religious Currents in the Nineteenth Century," the thirteenth volume in the planned 24-volume "Treatise on Invertebrate Paleontology," and "James Hannay: His Life and Works."
"Religious Currents in the Nineteenth Century," by Vilhelm Groenbech was translated from Danish by Prof. Philip M. Mitchell of the University of Illinois, a former KU faculty member, and W.D. Paden, professor of English.
GROENBECH, WHO HAS made an impression on his countrymen comparable to that of Kierkegaard, examines some of the basic religious ideas in the 19th century, particularly as set forth in the work of several German and English poets. He focuses on the debate between orthodox and liberal theology and between traditional views and scientific speculation.
Believing that the historian of religion has a duty "to show how vast the human being is, and how awesome in his vastness, and thus spur on his contemporaries to search deeply within themselves for unity," Groenbech gives an imaginative and synthetic rather than a strictly historical interpretation. He indicates ideas shared by opposing forces, thus he looks forward to a new religious outlook.
Prof. Mitchell is also the author of "A History of Danish Literature." His collaborator, Prof. Paden, has published "Tennyson in Egypt: A Study of the Imagery in His Earlier Work" and several studies in the field of 19th century English literature.
"Treatise on Invertebrate Paleontology, Part K: Mollusca 3," was
edited by Raymond C. Moore, Professor emeritus of Geology.
AMONG THE CONTRIBUTORS to "Part K: Mollusca 3" are Curt Teichert, Regents' distinguished professor. Moore and Doris E. Zeller, editor of the Geological Survey.
Others are Bernhard Kummel, W. C. Sweet, H. B. Stenzel, W. M. Furnish, Brian F. Glenister, and H. K. Erden.
This volume containing 519 double-column pages is a treatment of all known groups of fossil cephalopods and includes a chapter on the living Nautilus. The treatise, representing the work of approximately 150 specialists from many countries and its aim is the presentation of an authoritative summary of all that is known concerning invertebrate fossil groups.
"James Hannay: His Life and Works," by George J. Worth, associate professor of English, is a critical biography of a man of letters who was an associate of Carlyle and Thackeray. Hannay achieved distinction as a novelist of naval life, a journalist, and a literary lecturer and critic before his untimely death in 1873 as a British consul in Barcelona.
IFC to Print Rush Book To Serve All Fraternities
A rush book will be published by the Interfraternity Council to serve each of the 26 fraternities on campus.
"The booklet, which will be over 100 pages long, allots four pages to each individual fraternity to be used according to its personal preferences." Ted Dickey, Louisville, Ky., junior and IFC publicity chairman, said.
"We feel that this system for printed rush information will enhance the fraternity system as a whole, promote better relations among the fraternities, and serve as a good public relations media for the University of Kansas," Dickey said.
"EACH FRATERNITY will be responsible for the content and make up of its four pages," Dickey said, "Approximately eight pages will be devoted to general information, explanation and advantages of the fraternity system to be written by the editor."
Ken Whitenight, Lawrence sophmore has been selected by the IFC
to be the editor of the 1964-65 rush book.
"The action by the IFC on the rushbook will be binding to all fraternities," Dickey said. "A penalty of $300 will be imposed on any fraternity which publishes a personal rush book.
"AN EXCEPTION to this rule has been made to allow the fraternities to publish alumni newsletters, however." Dickevi said.
Dickey said the advantages of the joint rushbook serving the entire fraternity system are threefold:
1. Costs will substantially be cut for each fraternity. Formerly the booklets cost the fraternity from $450 to $1200. The joint booklet will cost each house from $100 to $200.
2. DISTRIBUTION OF the booklet will be vastly improved for every male student enrolling at KU will automatically receive one.
3. All fraternities will be exposed to all prospective rushees and all will receive the same space and attention within the booklet.
