DR. HUBERT C. PIRKLE Dr. Hubert C. Pirkle, Assistant Professor, the Department of Pathology at the University of Louisville School of Medicine, has been working on medical research on an experimental program pertaining to certain diseases which affect the heart and the blood vessels. This program is in connection with the Louisville Heart Association. DR. DAVID W. MAURER Dr. David Maurer, Professor of English, is known nationally for his re- search into linguistic problems, especially in what he calls “the argots used in criminal sub-cultures.” His work with non-standard languages led to an interest in the relation of language to behavior, and he has had more than one hundred publications in his field. Two of his books have become stand- ard texts: Narcotics and Narcotic Addiction and The Big Con—The Story of the Confidence Man and the Confidence Game. He has a great interest in exploring those areas not yet explored linguistically, and his research has been written up in many periodicals. He collaborated on a book to be re- leased this spring, The Structure of American English, and is now working on the re-writing of H. L. Mencken’s The American Language. DR. EDMOND R. SCHLESINGER Dr. Edmond Schlesinger, Head of the Department of Audio-Visual Edu- cation and Associate Professor of Modern Languages and Humanities at the University College, has had twenty-two films shown to the students on Friday evenings and Saturday afternoons. Ten films were shown in the fall term— three American, two English, two French, and one each from Russia, Greece, and Italy. In the spring term twelve films were shown—two from America, four from France, three from Italy, and one each from Austria, Japan, and Russia. DR. HARVEY WEBSTER Dr. Harvey Webster was in England last year, spending most of his time in Oxford and London. He is now working on a book concerning contempo- rary British fiction since 1920. He writes for the Saturday Review, helps on the Views, and writes for other periodicals. He is also the author of On the Dark, Lean Plain. 12
