Dr. George Gerbner BecomesAnnenberg School's New Dean

The Annenberg School of Communications, after nearlya year of searching, named a new Dean this month.He is Dr. George Gerbner, associate professor at the

Institute of Communications Research of the University ofIllinois. Dr. Gerbner will assume his duties July 1, suc-ceeding Dean Gilbert Seldes, who retired as the school'shead in the summer of 1963. In the interim Dr. RobertE. Spiller, Felix E. Schelling Professor of English Litera-ture, has served as Acting Dean.A native of Budapest, Hungary, who came to this coun-

try in 1939, Dr. Gerbner took his bachelor's degree inJournalism at the University of California at Berkeley in1942, and his master's and doctorate at the University ofSouthern California in 1951 and 1955, respectively. Hehas been at the University of Illinois since 1956.

Under a Cooperative Research Grant from the U. S.Office of Education, he has recently completed work asdirector on a project study of "Mass Communications andPopular Conceptions of Education." In it he and his as-sociates studied the portrayal, and factors influencing theportrayal, of teachers and schools in the mass media of theUnited States, Great Britain, France, Germany, Poland,Czechoslovakia, Hungary and the U.S.S.R.

Dr. Gerbner is presently project director of a "Com-parative Study of Films and the Film Hero" under a Na-tional Science Foundation Grant. The project, to becompleted in 1965, is an analysis of the fictional person-ality structure of leading characters in American, French,Italian, Indian, Yugoslav, Czechoslovak and Polish filmproduction.

Earlier, the new Dean was in charge of research on theportrayal of mental illness in the mass media, as part of alarger project devoted to study of popular conceptions ofmental illness, under a grant from the National Instituteof Mental Health.

English Dept. SponsorsFirst Poetry WorkshopThe University's first Poetry Workshop, a pioneer proj-

ect of the English Department, was launched this monthin the Dreiser Room of the Furness Library.

Under the direction of Miss Jean Garrigue, noted poetand recently one of the judges for the National BookAward in poetry, the Workshop began its session April 2,and will continue for the balance of this semester.

Dr. Allan G. Chester, Chairman of the English Depart-ment, said in announcing the project that "the establish-ment of a poetry workshop on our campus marks a sig-nificant step in the Department's continuing program tostimulate imaginative writing among our students. We arefortunate in obtaining the services of Miss Garrigue, whoin addition to being a widely published poet of distinction,has had considerable experience as a teacher."

Miss Garrigue, who is working with a group of about 14students, is the author of five volumes of poetry, and hasheld many awards and grants, including those from theRockefeller Foundation, the National Institute of Arts andLetters, and a Guggenheim Fellowship.

She is the fifth visiting author to come to the Pennsyl-vania campus during the current academic year under De-partment of English auspices. Others have been the novelistand poet May Sarton, whose visit preceded Miss Garrigue'sarrival by a few days; Philip Roth, Elizabeth Janeway,Denis Donoghue, and Archibald MacLeish, the latter inresidence for a month.

Dr. Mitchell Heads University'sNewHuman Resources Program

The University has launched a major new Human Re-sources Program designed to assure equal opportunity ineducation, human and industrial relations on its campus,and has named Dr. Howard E. Mitchell as its head,President Harnwell announced this month.A psychologist who has been on leave from the Univer-

sity, Dr. Mitchell returned to his duties here on April 1with the new rank of Assistant Professor in the GraduateSchool of Education. During his absence he had served asassociate director for research and training of the Philadel-phia Council for Community Advancement.

In his new capacity, Dr. Mitchell will coordinate student,faculty and administration concerns regarding equal op-portunity in the areas of education, human and industrialrelations at the University. He plans shortly to convene aseries of meetings with representatives of various facultyand student groups to assist in the development of theprogram.

Dr. Mitchell's work in this area will be carried on incollaboration with the University's Albert M. GreenfieldCenter for Human Relations.

Before going on leave in February, 1963, he was Direc-tor of Research in the Division of Family Study, Depart-ment of Psychiatry, School of Medicine.

is a Pennsylvania alumnus and chairman of the Board ofFine Arts.

Associate Trustees of the University and members of theBoard of Libraries and of the Board of Fine Arts witnessedthe presentation in the Lessing J. Rosenwald ExhibitionHall, on the sixth floor of the library. The three groups hadheld separate meetings earlier in the day.The ceremonies were among the highlights of the city's

observation of National Library Week, held April 12-18.Dr. Kenneth M. Setton, University Professor of History

and Director of Libraries, welcomed the guests and intro-duced Dr. Emerson Greenaway, director of the Free Li-brary of Philadelphia and a member of the National BookCommittee executive board, and Donald Hunt, librarycareer consultant at Drexel Institute of Technology andexecutive director of National Library Week in Pennsyl-vania, who spoke briefly.A reception in the Rare Book Room followed the

presentation.Harbeson, Hough, Livingston & Larson, the Philadelphia

architectural firm which designed the library, will receivea similar award at the 1964 AlA convention in St. Louis,June 14-18.

The other winner of a First Honor Award in the collegeand university library competition was the Beinecke RareBook and Manuscript Library at Yale University.

In citing the Van Pelt Library for first honors, theawards jury termed it "an ingenious solution of the prob-lem of creating a large university library in scale with theother academic buildings.

"The library houses, in horizontal layers, three quitedifferent units which belong functionally in one structure:the central reference and circulation services, and pro-vision for undergraduates, beginning at the level of theentrances; next above, the research collections and theaccommodations for advanced students and faculty; and,under the roof, the special collections requiring a varietyof ceiling heights.

"The facade clearly expresses the functions within, fit-ting them into a unified whole," the jury concluded.

Since its opening in June, 1962, the Van Pelt Libraryhas accommodated up to 5,000 students a day, comparedto the maximum capacity of 2,200 students in the oldFurness Library which it replaced. The Furness buildingnow houses the Graduate School of Fine Arts.

Heart Assn. Names Dr. CohnTo Lifetime Research Post

The American Heart Association this month namedDr. Mildred Cohn, Professor of Biophysics and PhysicalBiochemistry, to the lifetime post of Career Investigator.The first woman to receive the award since it was begun

by the association 13 years ago, Dr. Cohn is the 11thperson now holding such a grant.

In a fruitful research career that already spans morethan two decades, Dr. Cohn, wife of a theoretical physi-cist and mother of three children, has made many valuablecontributions in fundamental biochemistry which havehelped clarify the complex machinery through which thebody cells make and use the chemical "fuel" they requirefor their labors.

Dr. Cohn's new investigatorship provides an annual sumto cover her entire salary, plus a $10,000 yearly grant tohelp underwrite the expenses of her laboratory. Its pur-pose is to foster unrestricted research by medical scientistsof eminent ability and achievement.

In recent years Dr. Cohn, the wife of Dr. HenryPrimakoff, Professor of Physics, has been concentratingon studies to define in detail just how the cell fuel, asubstance called adenosine triphosphate, or ATP, releasesthe energy locked in its chemistry.

Muscles work and the heart beats, because of ATP.The fuel also powers the construction of proteins, carbo-hydrates, nucleic acids, and other life substances out ofsimpler chemical building blocks. Virtually every processin the body requiring energy involves ATP. Scientistsbelieve that a malfunction in the body's ATP machinerymay underlie some diseases, among them certain heartailments.

In her investigation of ATP's relationship with the bodyenzymes, Dr. Cohn is working with a new technique called"nuclear magnetic resonance," or NMR, a powerful toolwhich can measure, to a degree previously impossible,very tiny changes in the chemistry and physical arrange-ment of biological substances.

"This is of immense importance in studying living sys-tems, because very minute changes in chemical environ-ment and structure have profound physiological effects,"says Dr. Cohn, one of the pioneers in the application ofNMR to biochemical investigation.

Dr. Cohn took her bachelor's degree at Hunter Collegein 1931 and her Ph.D. in physical chemistry at Columbiain 1938. She has worked closely with such Nobel Prize-winners in the fields of biochemistry and biophysics as Dr.Harold Urey, Dr. Vincent DuVigneaud, and Drs. Carl andGerty Con, as well as in England with Nobel LaureateH. A. Krebs. She is now associated at the Johnson Foun-dation here with its director, Dr. Britton Chance, a fore-most figure in biophysical research.

Bob Kiphuth Begins DutiesAs Athletic Survey Director

Yale's famed swimming coach, Robert J. H. ("Bob")Kiphuth, has been selected by the University of Pennsyl-vania to direct its survey of physical education and athleticplans and programs.

Kiphuth, who retired from coaching in 1959 and is nowprofessor emeritus of physical education at Yale, beganhis duties here April 13, shortly after his appointmentwas announced by Ernest Scott, chairman of the 12-member athletic survey committee of the University.The new director will study Pennsylvania's athletic

situation and will advise the survey committee on theadministrative and organizational composition of thephysical education and athletic departments. He also willinspect existing and planned facilities and advise the com-mittee on necessary facilities for intercollegiate athletics,intramural sports, and physical education.

Plans for the survey were announced in December bythe executive board of the Trustees. The action was inline with a policy established in 1954 which recom-mended that Pennsylvania's physical education and ath-letic programs be reviewed at appropriate intervals in thelight of changing circumstances and conditions.

Kiphuth was selected by the Scott committee because ofhis national reputation and outstanding stature in physicaleducation and athletics. In December he was awarded aPresidential Medal of Freedom with the citation, "Teacherand coach, he has inspired generations of athletes withhigh ideals of achievement and sportsmanship."As a policy board, Mr. Scott's committee will work

closely with Kiphuth as he administers the survey. Bothhe and the committee will confer with outside consultantswho may be useful in shaping the survey and coming toproper determinations.

Based upon its own investigations and experience andthe program recommendations developed in conjunctionwith outside consultants, the committee itself will seek tomake appropriate short and long term suggestions forimplementation of these recommendations at Pennsylvania.At the survey's conclusion, a comprehensive report will

be submitted to the University administration containingthe findings, basic program recommendations, and sug-gestions of the committee.

Trustees Revise PolicyOn Scholarship StandingA change in University policy, liberalizing the terms

under which scholarship recipients may continue to holdsuch grants, was approved by the executive board of theTrustees at its April 9 meeting.The change, approved by the University Council at its

March meeting, provides that recipients of aid shall berequired to maintain "an academic record satisfactoryunder the regulations of the undergraduate school in whichthey are registered," rather than the C, or 2.0, average pre-viously required. The approved statement reads in full:

"Undergraduate financial aid recipients are expected tomaintain an academic record satisfactory under the regu-lations of the undergraduate school in which they areregistered; a student placed on general academic probationby his school is not considered to be in satisfactory standing.

"Eligibility is determined in June, on the basis of thestudent's status at that time, for the full succeeding schoolyear, and is not redetermined on the basis of summer workor at the beginning of the spring term. In no case will aidbe revoked without consideration of the individual recordand circumstances."

MCA Renews Writing AwardThe Music Corporation of America has renewed for a

second year the scholarship first offered in 1963 to astudent interested in writing for the performing arts,according to Dr. Thomas Haviland, Associate Professorof English in creative writing.

The holder of the scholarship receives full tuition forthe college year and an additional $500 for incidentalexpenses. MCA is now considering expansion of itsscholarship program by sending the recipient to its Holly-wood studios for summer study, transportation and livingexpenses paid. The scholarship is presently held byRichard Watson, a senior in the College.

Sophomores and juniors in the writing major who wishto apply for the scholarship may obtain additional infor-mation from Dr. Haviland at Room 204, Annenberg Schoolof Communications.

Shakespeare MemorabiliaIn Anniversary Display

The University joins this month in observing the 400thanniversary of William Shakespeare's birth with an exhibitof many prized objects from the Horace Howard FurnessMemorial Library of Shakespeareana.On display from April 1 through April 24, the exhibit

may be seen in a series of 17 cases within the Lessing J.Rosenwald Exhibition Hall on the sixth floor of the CharlesPatterson Van Pelt Library. The Furness Library is housedin an area adjacent to the hall.

Highlight of the exhibit is the Furness Library's set ofeach of the first four Folio editions. The first folio, dated1623, was the first printing for many of Shakespeare'splays. Other cases in the exhibit display works from whichShakespeare drew information. Various forgeries of hiswork are also included.

One of the Furness Library's treasures, the 1709 Roweedition of Shakespeare's plays in the nine-volume set onlarge paper, also is being shown. It is one of perhaps sixcopies in existence. In a small satin-lined display case isa pair of gloves reputed to have been Shakespeare's. Thegloves, which have been traced back definitely at least tothe mid-18th Century, were given to Furness by FannyKemble, famed Shakespearean actress of the last century.The special display also includes letters from Shakespear-ean actors, including Edwin Booth and Mrs. Kemble, tothe elder Dr. Furness, who assembled the 14,000-volumecollection as a working library. It was bequeathed to theUniversity by his son and namesake as a memorial.
