Avant-Garde: The Experimental Theater in France by Leonard Cabell Pronko (review)

110 MODERN DRAMA May A.VA.NT-GARDE: THE EXPERIMENTAL THEATER IN FRANCE. by Leonard Cabell Pronko. Universtiy of California Press. Berkeley and Los Angeles. 1962, 225 pp. Price $4.75. One of the paradoxes of the avant-garde theater in France today is that. while it has been generally condemned by the majority of French critics, it has enjoyed an enormous and unexpected success on the European stage. At the same time. these same plays, which have not found general acceptance by the American public . have received critical acclaim in this country. So the most important studies dealing with the experimental theater in France of the last twenty years have all been published in this country. One of the most gratifying aspects of the American interest in this subject is the fact that the many books dealing with this subject which have appeared in the last few years have for the most part been of an extremely high caliber. Martin Esslin's The Theatre of the Absurd and Jacques Guicharnaud's Modern French Theatre are the two best examples among many. While Mr. Pronko's effort suffers somewhat by comparison with these distinguished predecessors, "the intelligent lover of theater" for whom this book is intended will not be disappointed. There are two major weaknesses in this otherwise stimulating work. First of all. the author has felt it necessary. as he had done in his earlier The World of Jean Anouilh. to recount in detail the plots of each one of the plays he mentions. In this case such a cumbersome procedure is particularly disturbing because, as Mr. Pronko himself points out. the plots in the contemporary French theater are reduced to a bare minimum and really have very little importance. The second flaw is the lack of originality which the author displays in the first chapter. We are told the by now so familiar story of the development of the theater of the absurd from the first performance of Jarry's Ubu Roi through Apollinaire's Les Mamelles de Tiresias. Cocteau's early experimental plays. surrealism and Artaud's "theater of cruelty" to Ionesco. Nothing new has been added to this account. The following two chapters, which constitute the bulk of the work. are devoted to a perceptive analysis of the plays of Samuel Beckett and Eugene Ionesco. But the most promising chapter is the following one on theater and anti-theater. For here Mr. Pronko touches on a crucial problem which has not yet been sufficiently dealt with, the element of ritual in the contemporary theater; its presence is conclusively demonstrated in the work of Jean Gen~t. A final chapter is devoted to a few of the writers who are not yet well known in America. Some of them, especially Jean Tardieu, Jacques Audiberti, Jean Vauthier, Henri Pichette. Michel de Ghelderode. and Georges Schehade, certainly deserve the fair hearing which Mr. Pronko gives them. The omission of Boris Vian, Fernando Arrabal, and many others is regrettable. In his conclusion the author explains the existence of the contemporary forms of drama by the revolt which they represent against "the now decadent forms of realism and naturalism which . . . continue to dominate our commercial, and in some instances our art, theater" (pp. 197-198). The "mingling of the serious and the comic" (p. 204) he finds characteristic of this new theater. The bibliography which terminates this volume is a useful one.

Teaching and Learning in Medical School

From the Project in Medical Education, begun in the early 1950's at the University of Buffalo, comes an exposition of its findings, Teaching and Learning in Medical School . This project, still continuing but in reduced form, was a unique attempt to elucidate, synthesize, and corroborate the already existent pedagogical techniques and theories offered by educationalists with those in traditional use or disuse at medical schools throughout the United States. This book does not omit other vital considerations faced annually by our medical school faculties, such as the problem of selection of students. Perhaps its greatest asset is its eloquent appeal on behalf of the historically harassed student of medicine for greater recognition of the individual. During his medical education the student is forever reminded that no 2 patients are identical and that he must treat each as a unique entity. Yet all students must fit into the lock-step curriculum of

Teaching and Learning in Medical School.

Challenged for an off the record opinion, few, if any, physicians would fail to admit that their medical school experience might have been better. No doubt some would go on to blast part of it as needless; in contrast, others would extol certain of its virtues or those of a particular teacher. One could hardly imagine a neutral comment. This book, too, will lead to no neutral comment. Evolving from activities initiated on the University of Buffalo campus a decade ago, this is a first of its kind. There, elements outside the medical school itself were invited to help medical educators cope with the postwar boom. The project proved eminently successful and led to the establishment of summer seminars in medical teaching sponsored currently by The Association of American Medical Colleges. George Miller and his associates here set down some of their ideas, findings, biases, opinions, and suggestions. They hope

Teaching and Learning in Medical School

The expenditure of energy in learning and teaching in medical school is not reflected in the number of monographs or discussions on this subject. Furthermore, it is unusual to find a volume devoted especially to medical pedagogy. The data presented by Miller represent the substance of conferences, seminars, and planned group discussions sponsored by the Commonwealth Fund, that were held over a period of 5 years at the University of Buffalo. The leaders of the discussion groups and the contributors to the volume participated as representatives of the departments of education and psychology in the university and as representatives of the departments of medicine and psychiatry in the medical school. The product is a readily readable contribution that begins with a discussion of the medical student, proceeds to consider the process of learning, details the tools of instruction, and concludes with evaluation of results. The presentation of data and concepts

ON TEACHING AND LEARNING

The phenomenal advances in medical science during the last generation might suggest to the unwary that contemporary medical education is an unqualified success. Medical educators, however, have not been disposed to accept this view. In the last decade they have swept aside a host of curricular practices and educational procedures honored by tradition and comfortably familiar. One currently being challenged is the widespread belief that teachers are born, not made, and its corollary that the process of teaching and learning cannot be subjected to scientific scrutiny and analysis. A small group at the University of Buffalo, a strange alliance of medical teachers and educationists, undertook to examine this question five years ago. An annual Summer Seminar on Medical Teaching is one outcome of their effort. The Association of American Medical Colleges was an early co-sponsor of this event, and latterly has continued the venture independently with the assistance of the

Review of Design Information on Buckling of Unstiffened Thin Walled Circular Cylindrical Shells

The author is presently Chief of Structures, Solar Aircraft Co., and is the author of more than 50 technical papers. He received the B.A.E. and B.M.E. degrees from the Polytechnic Insti tute of Brooklyn. From 1943 to 1947 he worked for NACA and since then has held various positions in the field of structures at Bell Aircraft Co., Douglas Aircraft Co., North American Aviation, Inc., and the National Rocket Co. In 1947-1950 he was Assistant Professor at Purdue University, and from 1950 to 1952 he taught at the graduate school, University of Buffalo. More recently, he was employed as a design specialist in structures at Convair Astronautics.

Development and Applications of Tests of Educational Achievement

The use of tests in education tends to increase both in quantity of testing done and in scope. Wood (107) traced the history of objective testing, emphasizing the values of such tests. Boag (13) reported that only about 7 cents per pupil per year was being used for standardized tests, which was far below the recommended minimum of 30 cents to 35 cents. Both amounts are insignificant compared with what a business may spend to determine the effectiveness of its practices. Torbet (100) found generally unfavorable attitudes in secondary-school teachers toward teacher-made tests. Testing was seen as an onerous task. Substantial disagreement was found between expert recommendations and general practice in most aspects of test planning and construction. Fricke and Millman (38) discussed the effects of high-school testing on students, faculty, parents, colleges, and employers, and reported many potential benefits. Wrightstone (110, 111) presented some basic ideas on the nature and interpretation of various tests, and discussed various ways in which different kinds of tests may be of benefit to students. Michael (69) discussed theoretical considerations and presented empirical findings related to differential testing of high-level personnel. In large-scale testing programs, Tyler (102) reported data showing the effect of General Educational Development tests in the issuance of high-school equivalency certificates or diplomas for servicemen and veterans. GED accredited persons did as well as those possessing regular diplomas in the areas of industrial and public employment, and virtually as well in higher education. Barnette (6) discussed the role of college credit examinations at the University of Buffalo and traced the records of 205 individuals who had attempted credit by examination. Mallinson and Buck (67) reported favorably on various aspects of the New York State Regents Examinations in science.

Introduction of the Carman Lecturer

It has been customary on former occasions for the President to designate someone to introduce the Carman Lecturer to the members and friends of the Radiological Society of North America, but this is a privilege that I would not relinquish, the privilege of introducing a great scientist and a distinguished physician who is also an old and dear friend, Dr. Owen H. Wangensteen. Our speaker this evening is, I believe, the most creative mind in surgery in America—perhaps in the world. If I were to attempt to relate his accomplishments and his many honors, I might be forced to occupy this podium for the entire evening. Suffice it to say that he has been awarded honorary degrees by St. Olaf's College, the University of Buffalo, and the University of Chicago, as well as many honorary memberships in medical societies, both here and abroad. He has been given the Samuel Gross Medal, the Alvarenza Prize, the John Scott Medal, the American Cancer Society Award, and the Pittsburgh Surgical Society Award. Instead of listing more honors, however, I would prefer to speak of his early beginnings, of his personality, and of the profound effect he has had upon his students and his colleagues. Dr. Wangensteen is a typical Minnesotan, born in a small town in the northern part of the state, of Norwegian immigrant parents. He grew up in close contact with the earth and its creatures. His first association with medicine came at a very tender age, when he acted as assistant to a veterinary who attended the cattle in the family-dairy. It was the cow's loss and our gain when he realized that his own aspirations were too human and too large to be so restricted. Dr. Wangensteen and I shared a rather home-grown education at the University of Minnesota, as well as many later experiences. When I returned in 1927 from a year's study abroad, Dr. Wangensteen went to Switzerland to complete the graduate education which he had begun at the University. On his return in 192,8, his rise was spectacular and indicative of his quality, for at the age of thirty-two he became Chairman of his Department, the youngest Chief of Surgery in America. His favorite and oft repeated maxim has been: “It is not aptitude but attitude.” Fortunately for medical science, he possessed both of these attributes to a superlative degree. His fertile mind, magnificent memory, tenacious resolve, and indefatigable energy have resulted in great accomplishment, crowned in a sense by his recent election as President of the American College of Surgeons. Above all, he has been the great experimenter—impatient of theorizing, intent upon proving. He could well have been the author of the biblical injunction “How long halt ye between opinions.”

Attitudes of German Exchange Students During a Year in the United States

There are many intriguing problems connected with studying the effect of visiting a foreign country on the attitudes of the visitors, especially when their residence in the country they are visiting extends over a substantial period of time. One would like to know which experiences produce what changes in attitude and also to what extent the modified attitudes resist further change when the visitor returns to his own country. One might also ask to what extent the decision to make the trip predisposed the visitor to modify the attitudes he held. It would be asking too much to call for answers to all these questions in a single study. The article which follows is a contribution based on an intensive study of a small sample of German exchange students. Walter Gruen is Assistant Professor of Psychology at the University of Buffalo.
