Profs have a ball
Itinerant intellectuals
Participating, ruling, writing, lecturing and representing make the professors' world go swirling, especially for those KU professors who are chairmen of various organizations.
Erich Albrecht, professor of German, was elected chairman of the German section of the Kansas Language Association. Last Saturday he and others attended the annual meeting at Kansas Wesleyan University in Salina.
Stuart Levine, chairman of the KU American Studies program, will be chairman at a general session of the Purdue University Conference on American Culture April 21-22.
THE CONFERENCE will be held in Lafayette. Ind.
Levine is having several professors speak: Arthur Mizener of Cornell University, John Jacobus of Indiana University and Pietro Grossi from the Conservatory of Musis in Florence, Italy.
The KU professor can get himself interested in the most unusual things.
Harold Orel, professor of English and assistant dean of faculty research, will participate in the fifth annual meeting of the American Committee for Irish Studies (ACIS) May 4-6.
ABOUT 150 WRITERS, critics, historians, anthropologists and other scholars from Ireland, England, Canada, Australia and the U.S. will
attend the three-day meeting at Hollins College, Roanoke, Va.
They are meeting to discuss and study all Irish cultural activities.
Orel, vice-president of the ACIS, will introduce Irish Ambassador William Fay. Later, Orel will moderate a panel discussion about modern Irish culture.
PROFESSORS GET INVOLVED in a variety of jobs.
Orel lectured last Friday at the University of Nebraska on "Yeats and His Contemporaries in the 1890's."
Ronald Tobin, associate professor of French, has written the preface for Henri Coulet's "Le Roman jusqu'a la Revolution." The book will be published in France by Armand Colin.
George J. Worth, chairman of the KU English department, attended a meeting of the executive committee of the Association of Departments of English last weekend in Chicago.
Worth also has been designated by the Modern Language Association as its representative at the inauguration of President Doty of Baker University this Saturday.
