Publish
or
perish
problem is "solved"
by June Wagoner
Nebraskan Staff Writer
The academic question of
publish or perish has been
successfully solved by the
University English department.
According to one English pro
fessor, the English staff has
succeeded in integrating
.leaching and publishing.
Dr. Robert Knoll cited recent
awards to Professors Louis
Crompton and Bernice Slote as
examples of this success.
"Awards of this stature ob
viously mark the department
as productive in the publishing
arena, yet the type of publica
tion these individuals produce
is closely integrated with their
teaching profession.
Crompton was recently an
nounced as recipient of the 1969
Phi Beta Kappa Christian
Glauss Prize for literary
criticism. The $2,500 award was
presented to Cromption for his
critical book "Shaw the
Dramatist,", published last
spring by the University of
Nebraska Press.
Miss Slote was recently cited
by the National Foundation of
the Humanities for her
editorship of "The Prairie
Schooner," a literary review
sponsored by the University
English Department and the
University of Nebraska
Press.
In speaking of the Glauss
award, Dr. Dudley Baily,
chairman of the English
department, called it "the most
distinguished award anyone in
the English field can
receive."
"Except perhaps for the
Nobel prize, this is the top
award," Baily said. "It is cer
tainly equal to a Pulitzer. And
the award reflects well on the
department. Only one depart
ment a year can be so honored,
and since it is awarded to
critics in all literary fields, not
just teachers, the University
should be especially
honored."
Miss Virginia Faulkner,
editor of the University of
Nebraska Press termed Miss
Slote's award as "very
deserved."
"Miss Slote puts out a con
she said.
Citing the numerous awards
for poetry and fiction that the
"schooner" has received in the
past years, Miss Faulkner
credited Miss Slote's editorship
as "responsible for the
magazine's success.
"I see this as a well-timed
recognition of Miss Slote's
editing talents."
Miss Faulkner described
"The Prairie Schooner" as one
of the oldest continuing literary
magazines in the nation. It is

one of a type of publication
which is necessary for the
growth of literary excellence,
she added.
Miss Faulkner also had
sistently high level magazine,''
praise for the English depart
ment as a whole.
"I think awards of this type
show the vitality of the English
department," Miss Faulkner
said. "And with the staff which
it maintains, I expect only
continuing excellence."
Knoll agreed, calling the
.department "one of the
premier English departments
in the country."
"I think the reason that
many people turn down
lucrative job offers from other
institutions is because there is
a real dynamic spirit within the
English department," he said.
"This spirit comes from the
temper of a department which
allows each individual to do
their own thing."
Knoll also cited other in
dividuals of the English
department who he felt had
"international" prominence in
their respective fields. These
included Chairman Baily, Lee
Lemon, Miss Slote, Crompton
and others who he described as
prolific and popular text book
authors.
