Rose Morgan Visiting Professor Prunes Trees, Rolls Logs at KU
KU received an unexpected bonus when an eminent New Jersey zoologist accepted an invitation to be this semester's Rose Morgan visiting professor.
Alan A. Boyden, professor of zoology, who retired from the Rutgers University staff in 1962, has been teaching, lecturing to special groups, conducting research and writing while at KU. What has come as a surprise to students and staff is that he also has been pruning trees.
As a Rose Morgan visiting professor, Prof. Boyden lives at the residence of the late KU professor
of English, who left her home to the KU Endowment Association. The association in turn made it available rent-free to distinguished visiting professors and their families.
AFTER PROF. BOYDEN had been here only one week, he borrowed tools from the KU building and grounds department, shinned up the largest tree on the property and sawed off two large, broken limbs. The job obviously was professional
A few weeks later, Prof. Boyden joined local crews as they trimmed branches obstructing power lines. The group soon was joined by men from the adjacent Delta Tau Delta
fraternity. And, although the students at first mistook Boyden for a crew member, the afternoon ended as a capital success.
Logs for firewood had been cooperatively rolled down to Morgan Place and up to the fraternity house.
PROF. BOYDEN is one of a few leading scientists concerned with a more critical approach to the systematic classification of the animal and plant world.
A KU professor has been awarded the first visiting professorship by Radio Free Europe in Munich, Germany.
Prof. Boyden's next university lecture is planned for April 24. He will speak on Charles Darwin and Alfred Wallace, the two men generally credited with development of the natural selection theory.
Harry G. Shaffer, who will become associate professor of economics June 1, is using the research facilities of RFE to further his study of comparative economic systems and enterprise efficiency in the Soviet Union and East Europe.
Born in Austria, Prof. Shaffer came to the United States in 1940. He completed his undergraduate and graduate studies at New York University, and taught at Concord College, West Virginia, and at the University of Alabama before coming to KU.
Prof. Shaffer is the editor of "Soviet Economy: A Collection of Western and Soviet Views," and is now editing a second book on the same subject.
Radio Free Europe is a private American network of five stations which is fighting communist propaganda with broadcasts to Poland, Hungary, Czechoslovakia, Rumania and Bulgaria. RFE uses the work of the visiting professors for research and broadcast material.
