matter. according to DR.. Joyner.
First Such Effort
This summer S program marks
the first such research effort for
the physics department under
graduates. The foundation grant
covers three years. and allows
the college to use the funds in
the summer or during the regu-
lar school term.
A program in undergraduate
research was initiated at the col
lege last summer in the chemiS-
try department. That is being
continued at present with two
students under the supervision of
DR.. G. T. Miller, Jr.. associate
professor of chemistry.
The National Science Founda-
ton grant at Hampden-Sydney is
designed to give the undergradu-
ateS an opportunity to participate
in research. 1t is to help the stu
dents.
But. another grant in the form
OF a development contract with
the Oak Ridge National Labora-
tory has aided the physics depart
ment's summer program. The
Atomic Energy Commission de-
velopment program provides the
college with equipment useful in
carrying out the work set up for
the foundation program and
others.
For example, the students have
use of a pulse height analyzer
which cost about $4,000 thanks
to the Oak Ridge contract.
The contract with the labora-
tory seeks to have Hampden-Syd-
ney develop a vernier chronotron
for them, DR.. Joyner said. OF
that task, the physics professor
said. That's quite a job for a
school this size"

failures in his book. George
Eliot, in her novels. stressed
duty to the dreary point she
did, and abased herself be-
fore Victorian convention
for the simple reason that
she Haunted duty and con-
vention as few women Of
her time. Surely it must
have occurred to Mr.. Auch-

was as the psychiatriStS say,
"over-compensating" for her
spectacular sin in running
off with the husband Of an
other woman and living with
him in forbidden domesticity
for over a quarter Of q CEN

THE OLD MANS BOY
GROWS OLDER. BY Rob-
ert Ruark. (Holt, Rhine
hart & Winston; $4.95D
Robert Ruark, novelist and
newspaper columnist, has
established an outsized repu-
tation for big thoughts, big
acts, and big achievements.
His newest book-a sequel to
The Old Man and the Boy"
published in 1957-is in the
familiar Ruark tradition,
bold, braSSy and brash.
Sensing a vacuum in the
literary world some eight or
10 years ago, Mr.. Ruark lost
no time in deciding to fill it.
In an environment in which
personal conceit and rhinoc-
eros hides are not unknown,
he danced no minuet with
modesty. He came in stomp
ing, and soon fitted the vac
uum to overflowing.
Seven books and many
other heady triumphs later,
his public image had been
fully formed, his swaShbuck-
ling personality is clear and
crisp. Eagerly and unasham-
edly, he strikes a pose with
the Halliburtons and the

bearded, with one rough
shod foot astride the shoul-
der of an African lion

"reminiscences, partly in the
form Of conversations with

volume. is a willing foil for

What do you want to be

ergy, writes Something Of

dreamed of shooting. and
makes the money he wants.
Who could say this is not

In Appreciation
Of StenduhI

THE MAN OF SENSIBn-
ITY. BY Jean Dutourd (Simon
81 SchuSter; $3.95 is another
matter entirely. M. Dutourd,
the author Of "A Dogs Head"
is writing with ardent par
tisanShip about Henri Boyle.
Stendahl. He takes as his
device the "reminiscences Of
Beyle's great friend, Prosper
Merimee.
M. Dutourd, unlike Mr..
AuchincloSS, is a most abra-
sive friend. His mood
throughout is one Of ferocious
defensiveness. Everything
about Stendahl, the man,
even his lapSeS in taste, he
finds admirable. AS for
Stendahl the author: Il
have searched in vain through
Stendahl'S works, I have
found nothing of which the
author might repent"
M. Dutourd intersperses
his violent appreciation with
parallels between Stendahl's
time and his own, between
Stendahl's childhood and his
own. 1t is all very lively,
but a trifle repetitious. and
one may find the original
passages from Merimee,
which are precise and self :
confined, even a little more
valuable than Dutourd's re-
visions and extensions.

Mr.. AuchincloSs has many
virtues as a critic. He is gen.
erouS and perceptive. and he
writes as a common reader.
Too often books about novels
drain all of the pleasure out
of the original work. Mr..
Auchincloss' comments charm
with their insight and do not
Cypress with critical jargon.
In judging his fellow novel
lists he hews to the one
standard Of the true book
worm: Does the book in
question pass the time pleas
antly for the reader. Prac-
tically the harsheSt thing he
says in these 16 essays is
about George Eliot: Her
tragedy as a writer is that
she never learned the simple
lesson that an entertainer
