Nesbit Recaps Career,
Reflects on 'U' Growth
University social scientists now
move into the final phase of their
major 1964 election study.
To see the tormented Oedipus
gouge out his eyes, to hear Cas-
sandra's wailings, to snare the
intensity of the bawdy eating
scene in "Alcestis" is to gain an
understanding of the nature of
Greek tragedy.
We can read and analyze and
criticize the plays, but until we
see the Greek classics performed
our knowledge of the subject is
incomplete. It is like studying
Shakespeare without ever having
seen a Shakespearean production.
Students have the opportunity
to see Shakespeare in the sum-
mer festivals scattered throughout
the United States and Canada..No
such opportunity now exists in
this country for the student of
Greek plays.
Restore Greek Tragedies
Realizing the need to restore
the Greek tragedies for American
audiences, and thereby revive the
Greek cultural heritage in Ameri-
ca, a group in Ypsilanti are creat-
ing a Greek theatre.
Under the leadership of Mrs. J.
Henry Owens, former ninth grade
English teacher and wife of J.
Henry Owens, head of the modern
language department at Eastern
Michigan University, a group, of
Ypsilanti citizens incorporated the
Ypsilanti Greek Theatre in 1963.
The history of the YGT since then
has been one of expansion and
even national fame.
Summer Festival
How does oneerevive a dis-
appearing heritage? YGT's an-
swer is to inaugurate an annual
summer festival of drama, music,
dance and related cultural ac-
tivities. The nonprofit corporation
is building a $2 million amphi-
theatre.
This unique theatre, to be com-
pleted by 1966, will be an enor-
mous attraction for state residents
and summer tourists. It will be
the only fully enclosed, air-
conditioned Greek amphitheatre
in the world.
Tentative plans by the architect,
Harry Weese of Chicago, call for
a main auditorium with 1800 seats
arranged in the classic Greek
theatre semi-circular pattern
around an open stage, a smaller
theatre seating about 250 people,
a large foyer, suitable for use as
an exhibitionk halland the full
range of workshops, rehearsal
space, storage and other facilities
necessary to a professional reper-
tory company.

The theatre, to be constructed in,
Ypsilanti's Riverside Park over-
looking the Huron River, will
house the summer festival, a cen-
ter for Greek studies and a theatre
school.
The summer festival is the first
and most important goal of the
YGT. Starting May 1966, the fes-
tival will present several three-
day series. Each series will include
one Greek play, one modern play
and a dance or folksong program.
With four or five series each
season, the festival will probably
run from late May to early Sep-
tember.
Greek Director
A professional repertory theatre,
under a Greek director will pre-
sent the plays.
The quality of the festival will{
equal or excel Stratford, Ontario's
Shakespearean festivals, Mrs.
Owens believes. In fact, Judith The first part of the study in-

public on major political issues.
The study is financed by a $165,-

Foundation.
The interviews will be taken by

The theatre school is the sec-
ondary goal of the YGT. Staffed
by professionals, it will offer an
apprentice program leading to
participation in the Greek Thea-
tre's dramatic productions, as well
as a degree in Theatre Arts. The
theatre school will probably be
administered jointly by YGT and
a university drama department.
Culture Center
The Center for Greek studies
will have its own library and per-

EDITOR'S NOTE: This is the
fourth of a series of articles oin the
recipients of two University faculty
awards, the Distinguished Faculty
Achievement Award and the Dis-
tinguished Service Award.
By CAROL EIFRIG
Prof. Reed Miller Nesbit of the
medical school, one of the men
who usually nominates candidates
for the Distinguished Faculty
Achievement Award, was himself
surprised with the award this
year.
"Yes, the Distinguished Faculty
Achievement Award was complete-
ly unexpected, and I consider this
to be one of the greatest honors
that I could receive," he said.
A doctor and professor who de-
votes himself to both classroom
and general surgery duties, Nesbit
has been a member of the medical
faculty since 1925, the year which
also marks the opening of the
present University Hospital.
Great Growth
"You might say that I've wit-
nessed the growth period of our
modern medical school," he said.

THE AMPHITHEATRE PICTURED ABOVE, LOCATED IN EPIDAURUS, Greece, is architecturally similar in design to the proposed
classical structure to be built in Ypsilanti. The local theatre, however, will be much smaller in scale, seating approximately 1800, and
will be covered and air conditioned. Plans call for construction in Riverside Park overlooking the Huron River.
