James Farrell Lectures
On Middle East Affaiis
(ames Farrell lifted a forkful of
shrimp salad into his mouth. It
stayed there for five minutes as he
explained to his luncheon com
panions why, the present admini
stration’s foreign policy was inade
quate. He ate with the same gusto
as he chain-smoked and no one at
the table could interrupt, except in
the form of a question. He con
tinued the discussion of the fiddle
East which he had begun when he
spoke to the U. S. in World Af
fairs before lunch. Mr. Farrell
spent several years in the Middle
East in the University of Beirut
as a lecturer.
He said that the difference in
\rab and Western culture was the
cause of much difficulty; and
stressed the strength of the Juda-
Christian bond as a reason for our
continued strong support of Israel.
Later on, the unabated speaker
shifted restlessly on the couch in
Strong Friendship Rooms and
punctured the air with quick
thrusts of a cigarette—unfiltered.
“Don’t let young writers write
simply about experience.”
“Write about what you ■ want to
know and what
is important to

you.
Clinching a fresh cigarette be
tween his fingers, Mr. Farrell’s
midwestern voice continued on
about American literature. To a
roomful of English majors, teach
ers, and others interested in it, he
explained that the characters in
American literature are not suffer
ing and noble, as some have de
fined them, but are usually very
secular and very self-centered.
He critized the critics. They are
continually “misinterpreting what
writers have already written” and
“using the same authors to criti
cize.” He remarked upon a certain
“out-moded naturalism” in Ameri
can literature.
Mr. Farrell defined literature that
lasts as that which can be inter
preted differently in different gen
erations and by different classes
of people. He praised American
literature because it has made peo
ple more conscious of a way of
life. This is not inferior to deep
symbolism, he said, because it has
universalism in it.
The author of Studs Lonighan
stubbed out his cigarette, rubbed
his hands together, and asked for
questions.

I turned on all the lights and
sharpened my pencil . . . Guess
I'd better think a little about Em
erson for Mr. Paine. The Ameri
can Scholar seemed an appropriate
topic; Emerson had one or two
interesting things to say: “Col
leges . . . can only serve us when
they air not to drill, but to
create ...”
My thoughts wandered. At least
we could look forward to gaining
a little weight in the next week:
the coffee and exam teas, the Kit
chen Party. And tomorrow we
could wear bermudas. Maybe it
would snow traditional snow for

organist. at Rockefeller Memorial
Chapel.
Since 1957 he has been professor
in the Department of Music and
University Organist for the Univer
sity of Chicago.
As a boy Ur. Fleischer attended
the same Latin school as Eisenach
which had seen Martin Luther and
J. S. Bach as pupils. When he de
cided to become an organist and
Lutheran Church musician he had
Dr. Rudolf Mauersberger, now di
rector of the Dresden Kreuzchor,
as his first organ teacher.
From Eisenach, Dr. Fleischer
'went to Weimar and the State
Academy of Music and to the Uni
versity of Jena. He also studied
at the State Academy of Music in
Leipzig.
At 25 he became the youngest
professor at Leipzig Conservatory.
He took his doctorate at thf Uni
versity of Leipzig. Besides teach
ing and lecturing, he toured ex
tensively giving organ and harpsi
chord recitals.
In 1948 the political situation in
Leipzig forced him to leave. He
went first to Ravensburg in south
ern Germany and then came to this
country.
Salem’s new organ was imported
from Holland and installed in Old
Chapel in December by its builder,
D. A. Flentrop of Zaandam. Called
the “most important instrument of
its type in America,” it is a con
temporary version of the classical
organ, of the type popularly called
a “baroque” organ.
The majority of the program will
feature works by Bach.
All are invited to meet Mr.
Fleischer in the Day Student Cen
ter following the concert.
