Chaucer Students To Visit
Collection of Dr. Hughes
The twenty-four students in the
Chaucer class taught by Dr. H.
Howard Hughes will ,go to the
Hughes apartment, < 3228 East
Rosedale, on Aprti^22 and 24 of
this week to examine and study
the collection of books in medieval
literature which the professor lias
accumulated over, a period of
years.
This area of literature was Dr.
Hughes's special field of research
in advanced graduate work, and a
manuscript 'copy of his 490-page
thesis entitled "Chaucer's Criseyde
and Her Ancestry" is one item in
the collection. Three other copies
of ..it are at the University of
Texas, where it is required reading
for advanced students of Chaucer's
works.
Tlie collection cowWins fourteen
different editions of Chaucer's
writings, including a facsimile
copy, of the famous Klemscott
Chaucer, the standard text used in
the class edited by F. N. Robinson,
and numerous other scholarly ed-
itions. There ai'e sixteen different
modern-English translations of
Chaucer in the collection, lrffny of
which are elaborately illustrated.
There are also editions of the
works of Chaucer's contemporaries
in England and on the continent,
including works both in the orig-
inal Middle English, French, and
Italian and some translations.
There' are bi-lingual editions of*
Petrarch's sonnets and of Boccac-
cia's IL FILOSTRATO.
There are more than a dozen his-
torical biographical novels by
modern authors based on indiv- •
idual figures and specific periods
of medieval times. The bulk of the
collection is made up of scholarly
critical and historical books deal-
ing with the literature of the Mid-
dle Ages, particularly of the four-
teenth century.
Besides books, the collection
contains pictures, recordings, and
leaves from medieval manuscripts,
some of which are decorated in
gold and colors. There is a framed
picture of the Canterbury pilgrims,
wall plaques, and a set of wooden
figurines which were purchased by
Dr. Hughes at Canterbury in 1951.
One of the most unusual items
in the collection is a fourteenth-
century English coin of Edward
HI. which might well have been
handled by Chaucer himself in the
various government positions he
held'in which his" duties often in-
cluded the collecting and spending
of government funds.
Because the Rosedale apartment
is rather small, the class must visit
in shifts. These twelve boys will
visit on Wednesday: Jay Beavers,
Billy Blair, Julian Dozier, .Henry
Duckstein, James Echols, Charles
Gillis, Dean Granger, Leslie How-
ard, Royce Isham, James Moody,
Tim Russell, and Jack Thompson.
The following ladies of the class
will visit on Friday: Yvonne Bran-
som, Virginia Currie, Sally Fisher,
Ruth Goforth, Hettie Lou Jackson,
Mary Ann Malone, Kay Mullen-
dore, Celia Oliphant, Dianne Pos-
ter, Sue SeSSums, Arveta Tippie,
and Betty Ann Wright.
„ This is the largest class ever to
study Chaucer at TWC and it is
larger than most Chaucer' classes
in other Texas institutions. Dr.
Hughes has never had more than
twenty-two students in the class
formerly.

The statement was made by Dr.
John Nason, president of Carleton
College, in the April issue of Over-
seas, the magazine of educational
exchange, published monthly by
the Institute of International Edu-
cation. Dr. Nason's article, "Col-
leges Must Reassess Their Inter-
national Resources," was part of
the special issue devoted to the
international role of the univer-
sity.

standing involves not only a
knowledge of the more obvious
political, economic and military,
and geographical facets of the re-
lations among states, but also an
awareness of why people behave.,

differ from ours," he sai^-Vp
Serves as Liberator
Ho emphasized that not only
will such study enrich a student's
knowledge but it will enable him
to see himself in perspective. "It
liberates him from the limitations
and accidents of his particular po-
sition. from the narrowness of cus-
tom and habit, from preconcep-
tion, from meanness of spirit and
littleness of mind."
Mr. Nason advocated that un-
der graduate colleges which lack
the facilities of large universities
for including specialized world af-
fairs courses in I heir curricula
could include material in courses
o
already established: Asian religi-
ons in religion courses, economic
examples from India or Indonesia
in economic classes, political illus-
trations from Africa or the Middle
East in governent Courses, a Chin-
ese novel in translation in an Eng-
lish course.
In another article in the special
T
issue, Dr. Landrum Boiling, presi-
irt. rrf "fiarlham College, delates
how his "small, poor, Indiana,
church-related, undergraduate, lib-
eral arts college," has made "the
whole world its campus." He tells
of his college's summer and fall
semester-abroad plan, which after
much Stifling and disapproval
among faculty members, now
places groups in Frariee, Italy,
Germany, Austria, England, Den-
mark, Finland, the Soviet Union,
Spain, Mexico and Japan.
Show Social Maturity
In evaluating the experience'Dr. .
Boiling said, "Most of these stu-
dents have shown striking evi-
dence of increasing intellectual
and social maturity, Some have
appraised their foreign study as
an opportunity to break out of
lonlr-developing attitudes toward
academic work as a stultifying
grind and to generate a fresh en-
thusiasm and stronger motivation
for learning."
Dr. Boiling also suggested that 0
non-western study programs be in-
cluded in the standard curriculum.
He feels such programs will pro-
duce needed specialists in non-
western afafirs but even more im-
portant, they will enrich the lib-
eral arts education.
To show further how interna-
tional education can become an in-
tegral part of higher .education,
Dr. Joe W. Neal, director of the
international office at the Univer-
sity of Texas in Austin, Tex., wrote
that an international ' officer
should be a member of the ad-
ministration of each college and
university." He emphasized that
only by giving the institution's
international "activities a central
core can they be deafly identified "
with the "over-all international
role of the institution.
