U
'ROSMERSHOLM':
Professors Air Views on Ibsen Play
By ARLENE LISS
and MARGE PIERCY
Opinions differed among 'U'
professors. as to the nature of
Ibsen's "Rosmershom" which Arts
Theater will present as the final
offering of the fall season at 8
p.m. tomorrow.
Prof. Marvin Felheim of the
English department said he con-
sidered "Rosmersholm as being
in many ways, one of the best
plays Ibsen wrote."
* * *
ELABORATING his comment,
Prof. Felheim explained that the
play is late Ibsen and therefore
much concerned with spiritual
values rather than social ones.
However, he added "it certainly
contains social values, too."
Prof. Felheim describing the
play as "terribly well-knit," said
it involved the responsibility of
one's behavior in the world and
"the political struggle between
liberalism and conservatism."
"Definitely a psychological play"
was the description given by Prof.
Harry Bergholz of the Germanic
language and literature depart-
ment. "Rosmersholm" concerns
the mental struggle of Rosmer and
Rebecca West,;the two chief char-
acters, he continued.
* * *
"THE THEME is that of all
Ibsen's later plays, sin and retri-
bution, the power of the past over
the present," he elaborated.
According to Prof. Bergholz,
the present Ibsen revival is one
of scholars and critics rather
than the theater. However, he
added the play is a favorite with
actors and directors and cited
Eleanora Duse and Mrs. Patrick
Campbell as having acted in it.
Prof. Bergholz remarked that
Rosmer was a "fairly weak man"
who turned from the church to
become an agnostic after being
influenced by Rebecca West.
Prof. Bennet Weaver of the
English department commented
ERI Develops
New Methods
By Research
By DEBRA DURCHSLAG
From scientific classrooms to
labor relations in the building in-
dustry, the Engineering Research
Institute has completed an active
year of research.
Founded in 1921 under the guid-
ance of Prof. Albert E. White, it
originated in connection with the
engineering college and the state
manufacturer's association. The
institute's primary function then
was to assist industry in research
problems.
TODAY THE ERI includes 1,200
workers who are busy in labora-
tories all over campus including
the Cooley Memorial Building on
the North Campus. Faculty, stu-
dents and Institute staff members
all participate in projects.
Branching out from industry,
the Institute now also does gov-
ernment research. During 1953,
the Engineering Research In.
stitute worked on combat intel-
ligence for the Army Signal
,Corps, airplane design for the
Air Force, and computation for
the Armed Forces.
Some 1,800 persons worked to
add information to the stockpile
of knowledge in the fields of metal
structure, lake erosion, soil ero-
sion, soil mechanics, ice forma-
tion and control of gaseous wastes.
The ERI will continue its re-
search projects under the new
direction of Prof. Richard G. Fol-
som, who assumed office at the
end of last year.

'U' Informed
Of Polio Grant
Dr. Thomas Francis, chairman
of the epidemiology department,
has received a $175,854 grant for
the department research from the
National Foundation for Infantile
Paralysis.
The grant is the fourth in a five
year program at the University
supported by the National Foun-
dation. It will enable epidemiology
department researchers to con-
tinue their studies in three areas.
Research workers are seeking
drugs of a prophylactic or thera-
peutic value in the management
of the polio virus. They are con-
tinuing investigations on the in-
teraction between the polio virus
and susceptible cells.
Investigations are being carried
on with compounds such as gam-
ma globulin in areas where the
disease is most prevalent.
not performed as often as Ibsen's
other works Prof. Weaver said this
could be accounted for the play's
subtlety.

other of Ibsen's plays "The Mas-
ter Builder" and "Little Eyolf."
The present production is dir-
ected by Strowan Robertson and
will play through Jan. 30.

To Budget's

Stressing the co-ordinating func-

ing of the scope of governmental
