English Professors Attend
Language Conference
Three members of the English
Department attended the Modern
Languages Association in Boston.
They were D~ Ernest Hassold,
Chairman, Department of Eng­lish;
Dr. Richard Kain, and Dr.
David Maurer. The meeting last­ed
from December 27 to 29.
Two of the three addressed the
body. Dr. Maurer spoke on "The
Reflection of the Behavior Pattern
in the Argot of the Criminal N ar­cotic
Addict." According to Dr.
Maurer this subject has interested
him for several years.
Dr. Kain addressed the Con­temporary
Literature Group of
the Association while he was in
Boston. His topic was "Joyce's
Exile Notes and their Dramatic
Correlative." The paper dealt
with the newly discovered note­book
kept by Joyce during the
writing of his only surviving play,
and showed how Joyce conceived
of many more aspects of character
and theme than he was able to in­corporate
in his works.
According to the three from U
of L, at this meeting, it was well
attended.
Dr. Hassold was able to attend
another conference during the
Christmas holidays. As a member
of the board of Trustees for the
American Society for Aesthetics,
·he addressed the meeting of that
body December 29 and 30 in New
York City.
