PAGE EIGHT YRE MCHIGAN DAILY ? ffMSDAY, rTQ'Y'MBER z9, 1959 ENDS LONG CAREER ON HIGH NOTE: Prof. Bredvold Receives Russel Lecturer Award --- - --- - ----- - K' By DIANE LABAKAS Prof. Louis I. Bredvold, of the English department, could not be ending his career on a higher scale than being selected as this year's Henry Russel Lecturer.- After 35 years of teaching at the University, the University Re- search Club gave the award to Prof. Bredvold before his retire- ment next year. The Russel lec- ture is the highest honor the Uni- versity pays its faculty members for high academic and scientific achievements. Prof. Bredvold did not know of the award until it was announced by the Research Club. "It is such a high honor that I am still dazed," he said. He mentioned in his quiet manner, "The best thing a professor can do when he learns he has won the award is to ac- cept it humbly without citing his merits for receiving it." Recommendation Recommendation of the annual lecturer is made to the Univer- sity Regents by the nine-man Re- search Club Council, in consulta- tion with former lecturers. "The Research Club recom- mended Prof. Bredvold because of his high standing as a scholar and "his excellent works on John Dryden," said retired Professor Ed- ward H. Kraus of the minerology department. An active member of the Research Club, Prof. Kraus received, the Russel Lecturer award in 1944. Prof. Bredvold has contributed 75 reviews an darticles in the field of English literature to scholarly publications since 1912. Author's Prominence "It is not the number of articles that is most important but wheth- er people read them that will give prominence to an author," Prof. Bredvold declared. An authority on the works of Dryden, Prof. Bredvold combined his articles into a book, "The In- tellectual Milieu of John Dryden," in 1934. The book accepts Dry- den's skeptical temperament as the basic explanation of the de- velopment of his ideas. The American Review magazine commented, "There are few books for which students of English lit- erature should feel more grateful." "My work on Dryden just grew," Prof. Bredvold said. "I wrote my doctoral dissertation on Dryden and decided to work on it further. I kept working until it grew into a book," he explained. First in Department Prof. Bredvold is the first mem- ber of the English Department to receive the Russel Lecture honor. Most of the 32 award winners have been from tle Medical School.
