By Ford Foundation Grant
Funds Will Be Used

SPEAKS TODAY-Associ ate Professor Aerol Arnold will open the Summer Session Literature Series today with a talk in FH 133 at 2:15 p.m. on "Structure and Meaning in Fiction." He will point out the inter-relationship of form and interpretation.
Literature Series Features Arnold
The first “Literature Series” lecture to be held today will feature associate SC professor Aerol Arnold speaking on “Structure and Meaning in Fiction.”
He will speak at 2:15 p.m. in 133 FH. He will show how the structure and the meaning of a work are inter-related and inseparable.
“A writer selects a certain way to write his composition in order to convey a certain meaning,” he said, “and it is wrong to try to extract the meaning without considering the structure of the work.”
An an illustration of the relationship between structure and meaning he has selected Flaubert’s “Madam Bovary.” “A good eompostion such as this shows that the structure and the meaning are worked together in every part and can not be separated,” he said.
On the other hand, this does not work in F. Scott Fitzgerald’s “The Rich Boy." “The writer gives explanations for the characters but they do not jibe with what happens in the story,” Arnold said.
“I will not only try to show the way structure helps to direct and control the reader’s interpretation, but to show how the author’s search for the right structure leads him to find the meaning of the story for himself,” Arnold said.
Arnold’s lecture was originally written for the philosophy forum series last year and is being repeated at popular demand. Arnold has been on the SC faculty for the past 10 years and instructs courses in English literature, Shakespeare, and advanced creative writing.
He has also given several public lectures on campus. Besides teaching and lecturing, Arnold has written several articles and books on Shakespeare’s use of structure in his works.
The literature series lectures will bring three other profesors to the Founders Hall platform. One week from today William Van O’Connor, visiting professor of English, will speak on “The Bloomsbury Group.” On July 19, Alan S. Downer, professor of drama at Princeton University will discuss “Shakespeare’s Romantic Comedies."

Six hundred thirty private colleges and universities in the United States have been included in the program. They will receive checks totaling $130 million this week. This represents half of two appropriations that have been made.
California’s Share California schools will receive $5,405,000 under the first installment of the endowment grant alone. Additional funds totaling $1,200,000 have been granted to some colleges in the state as the first installment of an accomplishment grant.
Four-year, regionally-accredit-ed^ privately-supported colleges and universities granting degrees in liberal arts and sciences and allied professional fields have been included in the endowment program.
Undergradu ate instructional costs for the 1954-55 year will be recovered by each institution when all endowment grants have been paid fully.
Stresses Education H. Rowan Gaither Jr., chairman of the board and president of the Ford Foundation, declared in regard to the faculty salary grants:
“By this action the Ford Foundation reaffairms its conviction that the future of our entire society rests upon the quality of American education.
“So I must emphasize that these grants are only an approach to, and not a solution of, the problem. It is hoped that the grants will be interpreted as a challenge by the thousands of alumni, friends, and institutions whose support is vital to private education and to our society.”
