of Vienna Summer School

Nine different courses offered during the current , session of the Hope College Vienna Summer School

provided students enrolled in the program with a rich variety of interesting and stimulating educational ex-periences. Courses taught this year include Art History, European Literature and Viennese Drama, Europe Since 1900, Elementary and Intermediate German, German Conversation, History of Africa, and Music History of the Baroque and Classical Period. These courses are being taught by the folowing pelople:

Art History

Dr. Michael Fink is a native of Vienna who has become enchanted by Art and Architecture and is enjoying his first experience as a college teacher. Dr. Fink has been associated with the Institute of European Studies as director of travel and finance for a number of years. He is largely responsible for arranging the well planned study-tours which have been part of the Hope program for the past three years. He also plans to take a smaller group of students on an Art tour of Italy af ter the Vienna Summer Session concludes.

Dozent Dr. Anton Macku is considered the most prominent art historian in Austrian. He received his doctorate f rom the University of Vienna in 1926 and has been associated with the institution ever since. He has written more than a dozen books on architecture and many more articles in professional journals. For the past several months his recent book on Vienna has held its place on the bestseller list in Austria.

Sfudenfs Meet New Foreign Minister Invite Austrian Diplomat to Hope

Little more than a week after taking office as Austrian Minister of Foreign Affairs, Dr. Bruno Kreisky received the Hope College Vienna Summer School group in the office of the Federal Chancellor for an hour- long discussion of world affairs.

HIS EXCELLENCY DR. B R U N O KREISKY, Austrian Minister of

Foreign Affairs.

Dr. Kreisky, who had also met the Hope group last year when he was still State Secretary and had just returned from an extensive visit to the Soviet Union, plans to travel to the United States next month.

When asked by Dr. Fried if he would be able to include a stop at Holland in his American travel plans. Dr. Kreisky indicated that he would be happy to visit Hope College, if time permitted. A formal invitation has just been extended to the Austrian statesman by Dr. Lubbers, President of Hope College.

Dr. Kreisky served as Austrian State Secretary f rom 1953 until his appointment to the Foreign Ministry last month. He is regarded as one of the leading ex-ponents of European unity and played a ma jo r part in the formation of the European Free T rade Asso-ciation, established in July of this year.

While taking a strict view of Austria's neutrality obligations. Dr. Kreisky advocates close ties to the Western world and sees Austria 's future in a pro-Western foreign policy. Appointed to one of the most important posts in the Austrian government at the age of forty-eight. Dr . Kreisky easily qualifies as one of Austria's most brilliant and promising statesmen.

US State Departement Appoints Tysse To Attend NATO Meeting In Norway

John Paul Tysse, Hope College student enrolled in the history program of the Vienna Summer School, will represent the United States at a two week long N A T O seminar to be held at T ranbe rg Gaard, Norway, August 15 to August 29. The formal appointment, confirmed by the State Depar tment in Washington as the Anchor goes to press, came after Dr. Fried had submitted Tysse's nomination to the Association of International Relations Clubs and the Young Adult Council. T w o other US delegates as well as students f rom all other fourteen N A T O countries are scheduled to attend the seminar as guests of the Norwegian government.

European Literature and Viennese Drama

Dr. Friedrich Fassbinder, a native of Vienna, teaches the course in Viennese Drama and also the Survey Course in European Literature. Dr. Fassbinder has written two plays and a large number of essays, articles, and reviews. During the past summer he taught the course in German Civilization at the Hope College Summer School.

Europe Since 1900

Dr. Har tmut Lehmann received his doctorate in history only a few weeks before the opening of Summer School. He is a native of Wuertcmberg, Germany, and spent a year in the United States attending Virgil High School in Courtland, New York on an exchangei scholarship before entering Tuebingen University in Germany. He also attended the University of Bristol, in England, before coming to Vienna. Following the close of the Vienna Summer School, Dr. Lehmann will re turn to Germany to take up his new position as Assistant in History at the University of Cologne.

African History

Professor Rolf Italiaander is a Dutch explorer , socio-logist, writer and African expert . During the past twenty-five years he .has visited Africa ten times and has written more than a dozen books about the „Dark Continent". His latest work, a seven hundred page History of Africa, clearly establishes him as one of Europe's leading African scholars. He hopes to come to the United States next year to spend a semester at Hope College as visiting professor for African history.

History of Music

Dr. Carl Nemeth is a native of Hungary , but a Viennese by adoption. He received his doctorate f rom the University of Vienna ten years ago and has been extremely active as a practicing musician and as a music historian ever since. For some time he served as assistant conductor of the Vienna T o n k u e n s t k r Orchestra and has conducted concerts and operas in Germany, Austria, Italy, and Yugoslavia. For his book Franz Schmidt, A Master After Brahms and Bruckncr, he received the Austrian National Music Prize in 1957. Dr . Nemeth has participated in the Hope College Vienna Summer School since 1957 and last year published a brief report on the Hope College Vienna music program in an Austrian periodical.

Studenfs learn Language on Location In Intensive Six Week German Program

Reflections on « Summer

The time has come for an .evaluation of" our ac-complishments of the past few weeks. T h e summer which appeared so long to us last spring has become inevitably shorter and we are rapidly approaching the conclusion of an unusual academic program.

I use the term academic* because the program this summer has demanded serious scholarship and earnest endeavor from all of us. The re are people who are dubious about combining study and travel, for they feel that by the division of interest neither purpose is actually accomplished. Our tour had little in common with that of the average tourist — as a perusal of the itenerary printed in the last issue may have revealed. Briefings of a high quality helped to form a general and meaningful European background for the six week study-period in Vienna. We have been able to contrast the old and new, the past and the present in our ex-periences each day. T h e program has been complex in its scope, but careful organization has provided a meaningful integration of activities and study.

Courses taught by excellent professors, some unique in their field, have been interesting and exacting. Special briefings and guest lectures by experts in various areas have aided in providing a fuller com-prehension of the subject-matter . Work on individual study-projects has stimulated independent initiative and resourcefulness and has brought about new contacts and new concepts. Group excursions have taken us to the various centers of European culture and have helped to provide us with a better understanding of European civilization. Our horizons have been broadened in many ways.

Some of us have made acquaintances which will prove rewarding for years to come. All of us have gained new impressions and insights. Exposure to different points-of-view has forced us to take a new approach to old problems and to think before making value judgments. It has been refreshing to be subjected to a different intellectual, social and cultural environ-ment.

I am certain that the academic experience of this summer will stand out as memorable and important in the perspective of the total college program. It will remain memorable because of the many and unusual experiences we have had as individuals and as a group, and it will remain important because it will act as an influencing factor in all of our subsequent educational endeavors. We shall have ample opportunity to draw upon the information gained f rom our study in Vienna, and most of us can leave with a feeling of satisfaction knowing that we have worked diligently and that we have achieved at least a modicum of success in a unique educational venture.

E. F. Gearhar t

Vienna is noted for its leisurely way of life and the Viennese have been credited with coining the saying that „what doesn't get done today can be taken care of tomorrow". Local citizens enjoy lingering over a cup of coffee in a local cafe while reading the latest news-papers and magazines. They enjoy „taking it easy". The students studying German this summer at the

Hope College Summer School in Vienna have discovered that they do not have much time for such activities. They are too occupied at tempting to compress a year 's

course of German into six busy weeks of study.

The first and second year courses of the Hope College Summer School program in German fulfill most of the dreams of a language teacher. There is intensive training over a relatively short period of time with the opportunity of putting theory immediately into' ' practice. Both courses are being taught by Austrians who have spent at least one year of study at a college in the United States. Both instructors have experience teaching English and German and are thus acquainted with the special problems confront ing an American student learnings German.

The students meet three hours each morning for intensive drill in the language. Supervised drill and private tutoring are provided during two hours in the af ternoon. A second native speaker is available to each class during part of this period. Homework assignments for the next day complete the formal classroom work, hut instruction in the language does not cease when the students leave the classroom.

All students are housed with private families. I hey thus have an opportunity to talk to the landlady and to experience how a typical Austrian family lives. Further conversational par tners are the policeman on the corner, the s treetcar conductor and the waiter in the restaurant . T h e theater and opera, movies, and newspapers provide other good sources of stimulation and practice in the language. T h e students must con-tinually utilize what they are formally learning.

Conversation students are required to meet with tutors each week and are evaluated on the basis ol the improvement made in oral facility. T h e environ-mental conditions described above apply to these students also, and they can frequently utilize the language while working on projects for other courses.

Elementary and Intermediate German Summer School Administrative Staff Mr. Fritz von Sammern-Frankenegg, though only in

his late twenties, qualifies as the oldest Austrian member of the Hope College Vienna Summer School staff, having traveled with the first experimental Hope

group which came to Austria in 1956. After the 1957 Vienna Summer School, Sammern went to the United States as a teaching assistant and graduate student at Johns Hopkins University. During his year in America he also spent a week at Hope College. He returned to Vienna in time to work with the 1958 Hope group. At the end of last summer he was married to Miss Karin Lindell of Stockholm, Sweden, who now assists her husband as a tu tor in the Intermediate German course. Mr. Sammern has spent the past year working on his doctoral dissertation which he hopes to complete this winter in Sweden.

Mr. Alfred Schmalfuss, who has charge of the course in Elementary German, teaches German and English at a Vienna High School. He, too, has done graduate work at the University of Vienna and has spent a year at an American university as an exchange student. He was recently selected by the University of Vienna to conduct a special course in e lementary English for faculty of the University's Medical College. At present Mr. Schmalfuss is working on his thesis for his Ph. D. After obtaining his doctorate he hopes to teach in the United States.

Mr. Gunter Recknagel is a young American who was born and raised in Germany and now is studying at Heidelberg College. He is in Vienna both to study history and li terature and to act as assistant to the introductory German course. He is enjoying his contact with American collegians and looks forward to at tending college in the United States sometime soon.

Dr. Paul G. Fried is Associate Professor of History at Hope College and the director of the Vienna Summer School program. He is a native European and holds degrees f rom Hope College, Harvard University, and the University of Erlangen. Since the end of the Second World War he has spent ten summers in Europe, a fact which may account for his intimate knowledge of interesting places and fine res taurants in all par ts of the Continent.

German Language Supervisor

Professor Ezra Gearhar t is chaiman of the German Department at Hope College and in Vienna supervises the German language program. He is a graduate of Hope College and Indiana University. He developed his German language skill while stationed in Germany at the end of the Second World W a r and as a Fulbright student in Vienna a few y e a r s T a t e r . Mr. Gearha r t is spending part of his time in Vienna prepar ing a text edition of Rolf I tal iaander 's Hatis and Jean as a second German reader.

Faculty Chaperones

Dean and Mrs. Milton L. Hinga are accompanying the Hope College group as faculty chaperones. Mrs. Hinga is a graduate of Albion College and Mr. Hinga, on leave f rom his job as Dean of Students at Hope College, is a graduate of Kalamazoo College and Co-lumbia University. Mr . Hinga, who has taught European history at Hope College for over twenty-five years, is thoroughly enjoying this f i rs t-hand contact with the things he has discussed in his classes in the pas t .

separate and distinct person to be himself as nature has made him, or herself as nature has made her, no matter to what race or tribe or nation such a person may belong.

John Cow per Powys

It would be hard for a student to describe a man like Rolf Italiaander adequately. He is a scholar and a distinguished wri ter ; he is also an explorer and something of an adventurer , and he certainly is an inspiring lecturer. His interest in Africa, her people and her history, dates back to 1933 when, as an eighteen year old youth, he entered the French Foreign Legion. Though ill health forced him to leave the Legion before signing all the processing papers, this small taste of Africa interested him so much that he determined to make this his field of concentrated effort and began preparation for the first of the expeditions — this time a simple matter which consisted mainly of purchasing a bicycle. T h e Africans were very much amazed at this modern convenience since he was the first to cycle across the Sahara. (He assures us that now there are many bicycles in this part of the country.) Think how startled the Africans would have been to see him gliding which was his favorite sport at the age of fifteen and the topic of his first book.

PROFESSOR ROLF ITALIAANDER and Prime Minister of Ghana, DR. Kwawe Nkrumah.

ft.

After the completion of his first trip, he returned to study at different high schools and universities in Europe. But books are not enough in the study of modern Africa and so it was off again to the Dark Continent. Because of the expense involved 'in expedi-tions, and Africa being expensive in any case, Mr. Ita-liaander travels alone and hires guides for the various sections he . visits. His technique has developed to include the use of tape recorders with which he records native songs and chants to go along with his com-prehensive series of slides and documentary films for television.

Stresses African Culture In order to get a full picture of native psychology,

which Mr. Italiaander feels is so vitally necessary for understanding the African, he has gone to great length to collect documents of African culture. Th i s has resulted in his t ranslat ing their poetry and proverbs, as well as collecting modern African art . In fact, he has just published a book of poems, another of pro-verbs, his first records will be coming out in October, and the English edition of his history of Africa will be available soon — watch for these. T o round out his schedule, which now includes teaching at our summer school and lecturing in various countries, ,Mr. Ita-liaander is working on the revision of his history of Africa, one of his more than twenty publications.

Autor of Many Books He has written several novels about Africa designed

especially for the youth in line with his theory that it is with the younger generation our hopes for better international relationships lie. It is this fact which impels him to take the time to teach this course. He has the burning desire to share his knowledge and experiences with as many as possible.

T h e three and a half day excursion to Berchtes-gaden and Salzburg proved to be not only a pleasant interlude af ter ra ther s trenous mid-term exams but an exciting experience for all those who love mountains , music, and art. Though the mountains around the Konigssee were partly hidden in clouds the majesty ancl beauty of the Alps was .something none of us could fail to enjoy. , , - ; .

None the less, everyone was eager to arrive in Salz-burg. Most Hope students had tickets to at least one Festival per formance ; a few were for tunate enough to see The Magic Flute, listen to a Mozart Matinee, and attend the Jedermann performance. For me, seeing this play alone was easily worth the long trip from Vienna.

Sitting in the square facing the Salzburg Cathedral I watched in fascination as from the pages of medieval history flowed the story of Jedermann, the portrayal of Everyman's confrontat ion with death. T h e presen-tation of this ancient morali ty play, adapted by Hugo von Hofmanns tha l , was certainly in keeping with the high quality of artistic production which has made the Salzburg Festival world famous.

Before our eyes unfolded the story of a young man possessed with wealth, health and friendship. Everyman lived in a comfortable fashion with little concern for his poor neighbors and the debtor in chains. However, in the midst of his feasting and jubilation Everyman was rudely surprised by the sound of his name being echoed throughout the courtyard by eerie voices gravely chanting f rom the tops of buildings and church towers.

Death suddenly appeared behind Everyman informing him that the hour had come for him to account for his life before the throne of God.

With anxiety and fear Everyman sought advice and assistance f rom various sources. His friends were quick to refuse to accompany him on his journey to God's judgment . Relatives also declined assistance with faulty excuses and his great riches represented by Mammon were of no value in the final hours of life. Even Good Deeds could afford only little aid as they weakly cried out while beng supported on crutches.

Finally Good Deeds called forth Faith in a hopeful plea for Everyman's assistance before God. Confronted by Faith, Everyman eventually came to a s t rong belief in God's unending forgiveness and mercy. In repentance Everyman accepted the atoning powers of a belief in Jesus Christ and went off to be clothed in the purity of a white robe.

T h e play was a reminder that to every man comes the hour when he has to face the question of the meaning of life. Every man must make his decision to live for the Devil o r for God, to dwell in r iotous living and 'disregard the responsibilities which God places upon men in human relationships or unite Faith with Good Deeds in an acceptance of God's mercy and forgiveness which flows as an endlessly cleansing stream through the repentant child of God.

Wer ist Jedermann? Du und du, Und auch ich.

Schonbrunn Palace, built in the eigteenth century, is sometimes regarded as a copy of the more elaborate Palace of Louis XIV at Versailles. Though less well known than its French Counterpar t , it is much more intimate and charming. Like Versailles, Schonbrunn Palace has seen much history in the making. Maria

Theresa raised her Thi r teen children here. Napoleon occupied the palace in his march of conquest, and the Congress of Vienna celebrated his defeat in its ball-rooms. Today the Palace is a favorite at traction for Viennese and foreign visitors.

Varied Travel Plans Take Summer Students To All Parts of Europe

Two questions were heard again and again in student conversation during the last weeks of the Vienna Summer School — „I hate to leave Vienna, don't you?" and „What are you doing during your free t ravel period?" A curious combination, these questions ex-pressed both the students ' reluctance to leave a city they have grown to love and their great desire to see more of Europe and to apply the skills in international living which they have gained in the tour preceding their arrival in Vienna and during their six-week stay with Viennese families.

From Turkey to Norway

T h e students ' plans for independent travel are as diverse as their personalities and backgrounds. Some will spend the two weeks with European relatives o r friends, getting to know the European people more intimately. Some will travel f rom city to city, ac-quainting themselves with the Europe which can be seen and felt in its architecture and ar t . Some will fly f rom Vienna to distant cities. Some will take second class trains through the night and visit cities and towns during the day. T w o students will t ravel as far as Turkey . A few will go directly to the city of their re-embarkat ion. Some students will t ravel by auto a.id motorcycle, while most will use public t ransportat ion. For some students everything will go smoothly. For others problems will arise. But to all will come a deeper appreciation of a Europe which they have been preparing themselves to meet .

Italian Tour Program

Eleven students and Mr. and -Mr^. Hinga will parti-cipate in a ten-day tour of Italy conducted by Dr . Fink, instructor in Ar t History. T h e group will visit Venice, Padua, Verona, Ravenna, Assisi, Rome, Siena, Florence, and Pisa. An intensive study of the history and development of the cities will give meaning to their appearances today. T h e r e will also be opportunity for personal, subjective investigation of the na ture and spirit of the I ta l ian people and their country.
