11 The arts have now clearly become a great factor of national prestige in the competition between the Communist bloc and the Free World. It is a com­ petition we should not lose. To at least meet the need will require the revamp­ THE ARTS ing of the international cultural ex­ change program as now carried on in the Department of State. Such revamp­ ing will also have the effect of greatly AND THE adding to our cultural resources at home and of more nearly satisfying the needs of the cultural explosion now occurring in the United States. It is FEDERAL noteworthy that some of our greatest victories for American prestige have come from the tours of such great art­ ists as Marian Anderson, Van Cliburn, GOVERNMENT Isaac Stern, and this evening's guest of honor. Unquestionably the arts in the Uni­ ted States have reached a point where they could have the tremendous im­ pact upon the world-especially upon the newly developing nations-that Dr. Senator Jacob K. Javits Hanson has foreseen for them, if they were not limited by financial consid­ erations. In the field of music and the performing arts, we are being chal­ lenged by the Soviet Union and the Communist Chinese in a most un­ paralleled way. The Russians have sent around the world the great violin­ ist David Oistrakh, the pianist Gilels, the Bolshoi ballet and the Moiseyev ballet as well as a host of singing and performing groups. I estimate that the Communist bloc countries spend as much as $100 million a year in these activities, and that this is roughly 40 times more than the United States gov­ ernment is spending for comparable activities. Our own international cultural pro­ gram is recognized as a reflection of the "state of the visual and performing arts in America, both in terms of crea­ tive cultural vitality and of the desire and capacity of a free people to sup­ port the development of a flourishing national culture."

13 The assignment of relating Howard Hanson and his work to the commu­ nity is flattering until it is examined. Then it turns out to be far from sim­ ple. There are material things that can be documented, as on a shopping list HOWARD at a supermarket. But there are in­ tangibles. There is no material sub­ stance to a song. You can't pinch it like a grapefruit, but it lasts a lifetime, HANSON while a grapefruit lasts for one meal. So the necessary addition of intangi­ bles makes it difficult to wrap up Howard Hanson's relations to the AND HIS community in a neat package and pre­ sent it to posterity. Here are some tangibles and some intangibles. COMMUNITY We have the practical, tangible things filed away neatly in the form of clippings in our newspaper library. Newspapers have a casual way of evaluating the newsworthiness of a public figure. An envelope will hold just so many clippings, and few people Clifford E. Carpenter on this earth ascend beyond one fat envelope. But Howard Hanson is a four envelope man. Thus he is on a plane shared by hardly anybody, not even Jimmy Hoffa and Mrs. Harper Sibley. Most of what is in those envelopes you know about: the symphonies, the honors, the awards, the national com­ mittees and commissions Dr. Hanson has headed, the almost unbelievable conquest of Europe by the Eastman Philharmonia. But what makes fewer headlines­ and here we come closer to grips with the relationship of Dr. Hanson and the Eastman School of Music to the community-is the way the School's services are woven into the commu­ nity's life.

The reason, he claims, is "largely philosophical: As a conductor, one can't make music unless he has the help of many colleagues. There comes a time when it is refreshing to make music without the help of anyone else-and the piano gives this kind of satisfaction." As a performer, however, he now yields the family laurels to his daughter, Susan, who at 3, asked for ballet shoes for her birthday-and at 16, is the youngest member of the New York City Center Ballet Company. ("We don't discuss my career any more; we discuss hers," he notes.) Hendl's interest in young people is readily apparent. Early in his career he was a member of the music faculty at Sarah Lawrence College and also served on the Juilliard School faculty. At Chicago he has conducted the Symphony's youth concerts before thousands of youngsters. And on his over­ seas tours, he has given many concerts exclusively for children -in Korea, Japan, the Philippines, Ceylon, and Australia. Clearly he brings to Rochester a formidable array of talent and experience, both musical and administrative. He brings as well a deep respect for the Eastman School's achievements and for its potential. And he brings a warm and engaging per­ sonality, an impressive quota of energy and enthusiasm, and not least of all, a generous dollop of humor. The University bids him welcome.

20 When a department divides ... growth and change in LANGUAGES AND LINGUISTICS FOREIGN AND COMPARATIVE LITERATURE

Two of the University's younger departments, offspring of the former Department of Foreign Languages, have come a long way in a remarkably short time. Created only two years ago, the Department of Foreign and Comparative Literature and the Department of Languages and Linguistics have made sizeable gains in personnel and programs and today are well beyond the fledgling stage. The need for the departmental division that occurred in 1962 stemmed from a not uncommon predicament in the academic world: The explosion of knowledge in many areas of the existing department's activity had enormously complicated its job of keeping abreast of rapid developments in descriptive or structural studies of languages and, at the same time, expand­ ing its programs in foreign literatures. Growth in numbers tells only part of the new departments' success story -but it is an important part. In 1961-62 there were 16 faculty members in the then-Department of Foreign Languages. This fall the combined staffs of the two departments will number 32. In 1961-62 A.B. and M.A. programs were offered only in Classics, French, German, and Spanish. Today there are, in addition, doctoral programs in French literature and in general linguistics ... a new M.A. program in gen­ erallinguistics ... a new A.B. honors program in comparative literature ... and new A.B. concentrations in Chinese and Russian literature, linguistics,

24 MASTER TEACH ER The close of the academic year an­ nually brings a shower of scholarly honors, a goodly num­ ber of which this year fell the way of Rochester faculty members. High among them is an award administered by the University-the annual award for excellence in under­ graduate teaching-which was presented to R. James Kaufmann, professor of English. The award carries an honorarium of $1,000. A scholarwhose interests range from Renaissance drama and thought through modern literature and intellectual history, Kaufmann is the author of three books and numer­ ous articles, reviews, and essays. In 1959 he was named American editor of The Critical Quarterly, an Anglo­ American literary journal.
