Man, machine seek Shakespeare
By ALISON GWINN
Kansas Staff Reporter
"He was a scholar, and a ripe and good man. He was wise, fair-spoken, and persuasive."
When Shakespeare wrote those words for Griffith in the play, "King Henry VII," he could have well been describing Charlton Himan who, over three centuries later, became an enlightened playman more accurate and more faithful to the poet than any folio ever printed.
Himman, distinguished professor of English, has made Shakespeare's text and the printing of that text his major study for more than 25 years.
Himan worked as a research fellow for the Folder Shakespeare Library for a few
PROFILE
While he was in the Navy, from 1942 to 1946, Hinman observed an unsuccessful method for comparing airfields before and after bombings that he would later use to revolutionize the collation of Shakespearean texts.
months in 1941 and 1942, after receiving B.A. and M.A. degrees in English from Oxford University as a Rhodes scholar and a Ph.D. from the University of Virginia.
The Navy, for wartime purposes, photographed a field before and after it was bombed from an exact elevation and under like atmospheric conditions. By superimposition, the damage was alternately lightning one image and then the other, the Navy hoped that bombing damages could be made apparent as they came and went on the screen. Because of the lack of transparency under like conditions, the technique was used for bombing photographs.
Himan took the Navy's idea, using it to print the copies of the纸的 printed page of the first book.
He invented the Hinman collating machine, an optical mechanical device on which very detailed comparisons could be made from two copies of one page of manuscript.
"A man has only one lifeface and only one set of eyes." Himman said.
The collator enabled him to peruse 50 copies of 37 plays, page by page, "about 50 times as fast and much accurately" he had done with an unaidied eye, he said.
By following the sequence of types (individual letters) and how they were damaged, Humman was able to reconstruct the image day-by-day record was kent of the printing "."
For example, a letter "B1," distinguishable because of slight imperfections, can be followed as it is used and reused, line after line and page after page.
Six typewriters who worked on the printing of the folio have been identified. Himman identified three of them by observing their spelling, which was not uniform in the English language at the time, habitats of punctuation, and alterations made from what the folio was published. A quarto was the publication of single play.
One typewriter's spelling, for example,
"was "goe", "doe", and "here", while
Exhibitionists seen in vicinity of Potter
A nude man approached a sum-bathing woman west of Potter Lake Saturday and asked whether he could sum-bathe with her, the woman told Security and Parking officials. The woman described the man only as a white male.
Captain B. L. Ellison of parking and security said of the two incidents, "There is no significant correlation indicating the two incidents of same person, yet it cannot be ruled out."
Last week a woman reported that during a walk from the Campanile to Potter Lake she noticed a man sitting under a tree watching her. She said when she walked down the hill, she saw his pants down mastubating. She described him only as a white male.

another typeetter's spelling was "go," "do," and "here," he said.
One typebetter might use spaces before and after commas, one might put a space either before or after a comma, and one might omit spaces completely. Himman said.
Proreaders in Shakespeare's time concerned themselves mostly with obvious bliemishes on the printed page, such as altering incorrect page numbers and filling in white space within the margins. The typesetting they weren't concerned with the meaning of the text.
Typeetters, then, are the main link to the actual written manuscripts of Shakespeare, the best-known form of literature.
The typesetters varied greatly in the accuracy. Hinman said. Typesetter A made approximately one mistake in every 300 times; typesetter B made one mistake in every 17 lines.
Some typesters were apparently very faithful to the written manuscript before them, while others inserted and deleted text that fitted their personal tastes and knowledge.
For example, if "sold" is changed to "sullied" in Hamlet's opening soliloquy, the meaning of his speech changes to include "he had been seen his mother and his uncle. Human said."
University Daily Kansan
"Poetry depends on small things, as a lot of things do." Hhim said.
For example, Hinnan said, in the first part of "King Henry IV," Shakespeare apparently repeated the word 'great' in one of Falstaff's speeches, making the phrase, "If I do grow great great." He added an 'aweful' word left with an 'aweful' space which he filled with the word, "again," which implied a previous greatness that Falstaff never had.
With the addition of seemingly innocuous words to fill in white space, typeetters either altered the meaning of the text, or made the text inaccurate.
Himan said he attempted to use his knowledge of printing house personal and their practices in his edition of Shakespeare's plays.
Hinman compiled "The Norton Facsimile of the First Folio of Shakespeare," which contains the most accurate pages from all the copies.
By studying page by page all of the copies of the foliated contain in the Folger library,
Himan, who is retired from teaching, is now working on an edition of Shakespeare's complete works. He calls his project as close to Shakespeare as possible."
He is now going through the 29th play for the final time. He has been working on the play for the past 12 years, and expects to spend about two more years on it.
Hirnan said his edition should have "thousands of differences, mainly in small things," from the Riverside edition of *The New York Times*, which is the most recently published edition.
His work, he said, should be modernized with greater degree than the Riverside edition.
For example, Himman's edition will use the modern spelling for "precedent" instead of the "president" spelling used in Shakespeare's time, because of the discrepancy in meaning that could occur with that spelling, he said.
Having problems starting on that term paper? The reference department of Watson Library has something that may help.
Library clinic offered
The reference department offers a term paper clinic which will lead the student to work with researchers in the field.
"We don't do a formal bibliography or actually perform the research," Linda Parker Griffin, associate reference librarian at MCU, can guide the student to what is available."
The reference librarians can often counsel students about which books on a specific subject would be best for their particular papers. Griffin said.
Griffin said the clinic could be used by a person who was new to the KU library system and needed an introduction to its workings, by a person who knew the system more about reference materials by a researcher who wanted to obtain miniature.
Any student who wants a term paper conference should contact the Watson reference desk for an appointment. This will save you time to sort out available information.
"If it's something I've done over and over again, I can do it off the cuff," Griffin said, "but if it's something new, I may spend four or five hours on it."
During the session, which may last from 20 minutes to more than an hour, the librarian gives the student a list of possible sources of information. The librarian writes on identifying card catalog headings, bibliographies and periodical indexes.
"We try to tailor the session to the interests and needs of the individual," Griffin said. "It's more effective if we get to talk to the individual before the actual session."
KANSAN WANT ADS
The clinic is not limited to students, she said. Professors researching fields that are new to them may wish to contact the reference librarians.
Griffin said the reference department assists 15 to 20 persons a semester.
