Reflections on « Summer

The time has come for an .evaluation of" our ac- complishments of the past few weeks. The summer which appeared so long to us last spring has become inevitably shorter and we are rapidly approaching the conclusion of an unusual academic program.

I use the term academic* because the program this summer has demanded serious scholarship and earnest endeavor from all of us. There are people who are dubious about combining study and travel, for they feel that by the division of interest neither purpose is actually accomplished. Our tour had little in common with that of the average tourist — as a perusal of the itenerary printed in the last issue may have revealed. % Briefings of a high quality helped to form a general and meaningful European background for the six week PANORAMIC VIEW OF VIENNA with Belvedere Palace in the foreground. study-period in Vienna.

Dutch Explorerv Author, and Lecturer Relates Death Comes to Jedermann

The three and a half day excursion to Berchtes- Experiences of Ten Tours to the Dark Continent gaden and Salzburg proved to be not only a pleasant interlude after rather strenous mid-term exams but an exciting experience for all those who love mountains, % music, and art. Though the mountains around the Konigssee were partly hidden in clouds the majesty ancl beauty of the Alps was .something none of us could fail to enjoy. , , - ; . None the less, everyone was eager to arrive in Salz- burg. Most Hope students had tickets to at least one Festival performance; a few were fortunate enough to see The Magic Flute, listen to a Mozart Matinee, and i attend the Jedermann performance. For me, seeing this play alone was easily worth the long trip from Vienna. Sitting in the square facing the Salzburg Cathedral I watched in fascination as from the pages of medieval history flowed the story of Jedermann, the portrayal of Everyman's confrontation with death. The presen- tation of this ancient morality play, adapted by Hugo von Hofmannsthal, was certainly in keeping with the high quality of artistic production which has made the world famous. Before our eyes unfolded the story of a young man possessed with wealth, health and friendship. Everyman lived in a comfortable fashion with little concern for his poor neighbors and the debtor in chains. However, in the midst of his feasting and jubilation Everyman was rudely surprised by the sound of his name being echoed throughout the courtyard by eerie voices gravely chanting from the tops of buildings and church towers.
