TOURS NEAR EAST:
'Tower-climber' Gives Facts on Bells
By MARY ANN THOMAS
"I suspect that I've climbed as
many towers as any other living
person," Prof. Percival Price, Uni-
versity carillonneur, remarked of
his trips to Europe and the Near
East in search of church bells.
Traveling for seven months in
1953-54 on a Rackham Grant, Prof.
Price toured the Near East "to see
what bells existed in Eastern
churches."'
More specifically, he wanted to
learn if Eastern churches had any
traditions that did not spring from
Western Europe.
'Universal Instrument'
"Bells are the most universal
of all musical instruments," Prof.
Price commented, relaxing in his
cozy ninth floor offices in Burton
Tower. "Details of ornamentation
and inscriptions on bells give the
same kind of artistic and histori-
cal information as that found on
coins."
"Whereas old coins are buried in
the earth," he added, old bells are'
hidden in towers." Puffing on a
favorite pipe selected from a small
collection on his desk, the grey-
headed professor then paused
while the bells chimed the quarter
hour above.
Continuing, he said, "Use of the
bells is related to the customs of
}the people and varies from coun-
try to country. Some of the work
could be called archeology with
another dimension-sound."
Examined 1000 Bells
On his trip, Prof. Price collected
information on more than 1,000
bells in approximately 200 towers
located in nine countries. Travel-
ing by automobile, he toured Yugo-
slavia, Greece, Turkey, Cyprus,
Syria, Lebanon, Israel, Jordan and
Egypt.
Commenting on customs in-
volving the use of bells, Prof. Price
said, "In some countries where
Moslems do not want to hear bells
ringing but have been forced to
Johnson Talks
On Edueation
Mordecai W. Johnson, president
o Howard University, will give the
third lecture in the Summer series
on "Patterns of American Culture:
Contributions of the Negro" at 4:15
p.m. tomorrow in the Rackham
Lecture Hall.
Johnson will speak on "Demo-
cratic Education."
The speaker became Howard
University's first Negro president
in 1926. A few years later he was
awarded the Spingarn Medal for
successful administration ana for
achievement in obtaining legisla-
tion by which Howard University
became a recognized responsibility
of the United States government.'
A Baptist minister, Johnson re-
ceived an M.A. from Harvard and
a divinity degree from the Roches-
ter Theological Seminary.
Four Areas.
Of Interest
For Aged
Dr. David Pomrinse yesterday
told a gerontology workshop that
four areas must be considered to
understand an older person suffi-
ciently well to be of help.
Speaking at the ninth annual
Conference on Aging, the U.S.
Hygiene of Aging Officer, health
department, outlined the areas as:
1) pathological conditions
should be established.
2) an appraisal of the psycho-
logical state, both from the intel-
lectual and the emotional points
of view must be made,
3) an understanding of the
social situation must be developed,
4) an appraisal of remaining
functions and the possibility of
maximum potentialities after
restoration must be arrived at.
Dr. Pomrinse claimed a diag-
nosiscould not be made until all
of these areas have been con-
sidered.
Further, the health officer said
the diagnosis must be a continuing
process because all four areas are
constantly changingg.
Although the four areas have
been considered separately for a
number of years, considering the
four as a unit, termed "functional
diaggnosis," is relatively new. "The
need for the unified consideration
of all four areas is only now be-
coming recognized as the mini-
mum for diagnostic completeness,"
Dr. Pomrinse claimed.

the speech department at 8 p.m.
tomorrow through Saturday in
Lydia Mendelssohn Theatre.
JaDirected by visiting professor
James Brock, "The Circle" is the
second play in the speech depart-
ment's 1956 summer playbill.
Produced originally with Mrs.
Leslie Carter and John Drew, and
revived with Grace George and
Tallulah Bankhead, "The Circle"
was called Maugham's ". . . most
brilliant play and well worth re-
storing to the stage." by Brooks'
Atkinson.
Costumes and scenery for this
production have been designed by
Marjorie Smith and Edward An-
dreasen.
The story shows a cycle of ro-
mantic passion and depicts the
inability of one generation to learn
from another's experience. The
main emphasis is on the im-
portance of character.
Cast for "The Circle" is as fol-
lows: Homer Story, Grad, as Clive
Champion-Cheny; Al Phillips, '57,

ren Pickett, Grad, as Lord Porte-

beth; William Styles, Grad, as

Prof. Brock will direct on the play-
bill. In addition to directing the
plays, Prof. Brock also teaches
classes in acting technique and
play production in the Department
of Speech.
He has been a teaching fellow
at Northwestern University, as-
sistant professor of speech at Al-
bion College and assistant profes-
sor of speech communication skills
at Michigan State University.

allow them to ring for a few min-
utes. the bells are rung so as to
get all the noise out of them
possible."
Among the more interesting tape
recordings of the bells were those
of the monasteries at Mount Sinai
and Mount Athos and of the Cru-
sader bells in Jerusalem. The
University carillonneur also col-
lected photoggraphs, measure-
ments and copies of inscriptions
he found on the bells.
Studied Inscriptions
Inscriptions found on the bells
sometimes consisted of founder's
names or marks, names of donors
(sometimes historically prominent)
and of historical events.
Pressed to give illustrations of
these inscriptions, the musician
snapped, "You don't review an
author's book before it's written.
Examples will be given in my re-
port when it's published."
As to when the report would be
published, Prof. Price mused,
"Who is to say when the publish-
ers of scholarly publications will
publish a work."

Boys To Direct Woodrow
Wilson Fellowship Program
Richard C. Boys, associate pro-
fessor in the English department,
has been appointed national direc-
tor of the National Woodrow Wil-
son Fellowship Program which is
dedicated to attracting outstand-
ing young men and women to the
teaching profession, it was an-
nounced today by Dean Lewis
Hamand of the University of Vir-
ginia Graduate School.
For the next three years the
administration of the program will
be centered at the University ac-
cording to a plan to have the
directorship rotate among mem-
bers of the Association of American
Universities whose Assocation of
Graduate Schools sponsors the
program.
Established in 1945 the Woodrow
Wilson Fellowships this year were
awarded to a record-breaking total
of 174 men and women.
Selections are based on the
criteria of intellect, character, and
personality. Recommendations
must come from established mem-
bers of the academic profession.
Haden Lectures
The awards carry a guarantee of
an adequate living for one year at
any graduate school in the U.S.,
Canada or abroad.
In 1949, Prof. Boys received the
University's Henry Russel Award
for "excellence in teaching and
promise in research." He joined
the faculty in 1939 as instructor
and was appointed associate pro-
fessor in 1950.
He is currently in charge of the
University Summer Session special
program of lectures and exhibits
devoted.to "Patterns of American
Culture: Contribution of the
