The university, founded in 1893, celebrated its 75th anniversary in 1968, highlighted by a record-breaking fall semester increase in enrollment of 16.7 percent. Total enrollment for the 1968 fall semester was 1439 students as compared to 1233 students during the 1967 fall semester. The campus comprises 84 acres with 25 buildings or building groups valued at $6,500,000. Since 1957, nine new buildings have been completed on the campus at a cost of $3,700,000. Two new additions, planned for this spring or early summer, include a new laboratory-office building and an addition to the library, total cost around $900,000. The university offers the bachelor of arts degree in liberal arts and in teaching; also the bachelor of science degree in electronics technology and in medical technology. The university curriculum includes courses in 24 majors and minors. The master of arts degree is offered in teaching, school administration, and guidance and counseling. The university is accredited by or in full standing with nine national accrediting associations for undergraduate and graduate work. Located in the southwest part of the state, 150 miles northwest of El Paso, Texas; 200 miles east of Tucson and 300 miles east of Phoenix, Silver City is served by Frontier Airlines with two flights daily to Albuquerque, Tucson, and Phoenix. The department of language and literature offers the master of arts degree in English and is initiating graduate work in Spanish this summer. The department also offers majors in English and Spanish, and minors in French, theater, and drama. Special courses in speech designed to meet the needs of the school teacher are offered along with selected courses in journalism. The department publishes Western Review, a magazine dealing with the humanities, education, and the culture of Southwestern America. Scholarships, grants-in-aid, and other financial assistance are open to students. —Lewis A.

Fleming","doi":"10.1353/RMR.1972.0015","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1353/RMR.1972.0015","url":null,"abstract":"Instituting a black literature program at any school can be a difficult process, but in the Rocky Mountain colleges and universities there are certain problems peculiar to the region, problems which may also exist in any school with similarly limited resources. In general, the difficulties faced by schools across the nation concern the areas of materials, staff and students. Materials may not seem a potential difficulty when one recalls the continuing barrage of publishers' brochures advertising new black studies books, but many of these books are aimed at the lucrative freshman composition market rather than at higher level literature courses. Books such as The Black Seventies, Racism: A Casebook, Another View: To Be Black in America, or Justice Denied: The Black Man in White America may be useful in introducing students to another frame of reference, as, for example, in a composition course or a beginning sociology course. However, they are of little use to the teacher who intends to survey the development of black literature or to study a particular genre. Even the anthologies devoted strictly to literature are usually unsatisfactory because they emphasize the contemporary at the expense of earlier works; for example, Dark Symphony, a basically good collection edited by James Emanuel and Theodore Gross, contains only sixty pages of \"Early Literature,\" that published before 1920. Novels published before 1960 are frequently out of print or unavailable in paperback unless they are the work of the very best writers such as Wright, Ellison, or Baldwin. Criticism too is often inadequate or non-existent except in the case of the best-known black writers. In addition to the difficulties of finding paperback texts, teachers in these schools will probably find that the library holdings are quite inadequate. In 1968 I found that Wright and James Weldon Johnson were well represented in the University of New Mexico library, but many black writers were not. In addition to the expected deficiencies in nineteenth century works, such twentieth century writers as Jean Toomer, Ama Bontemps, Zora Neale Hurston, Chester Himes, and most novelists of the 1950's and 1960's were poorly represented or completely absent. The library had subscribed to Phylon for decades, but had only a few old copies of Negro Digest dating back to the 1940's. Loggins's The Negro Author (1931) was in the collection, but Sterling Brown's The Negro in American Fiction (1937) was not.","PeriodicalId":344945,"journal":{"name":"Bulletin of the Rocky Mountain Modern Language Association","volume":"26 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-01-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129431667","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Love, Identity, and Death: James' The Princess Casamassima Reconsidered 爱、身份与死亡:詹姆斯的《卡萨马西玛公主》

But at the risk of sounding aphoristic, the significance of the obvious is often slighted in extended analyses because it is supposedly self-explanatory. Thus, despite the continued critical interest that The Princess Casamassima has generated in the last twenty years, what I take to be its central theme—the relation between love and identity—has received curiously abbreviated critical treatment in this important transitional work.1 As a case in point, Lionel Trilling, in what is perhaps the most sensitive essay on the novel in the Fifties, observes in passing that \"It is as a child that Hyacinth Robinson dies; that is, he dies of the withdrawal of love.\"2 The insight is acute, but the major thrust of his essay, hke so many commentaries contemporary with Trilling's, is primarily concerned with the social and political aspects of the novel to the neglect of its central truth. Reduced to its essence, the novel emerges as a study of how love galvanizes Hyacinth's identity into being and how lovdessness destroys it. As a form of thematic counterpoint, James explores the personal desperation of the Princess Casamassima and Lady Aurora, women whose futility and pointlessness lend perspective to the problems of his protagonist. Among recent critics, John L. Kimmey argues convincingly that there \"is no more ambiguous [and bewildered] figure in all James,\" but unconvincingly that Hyacinth is tragic.8 While enlarging our understanding of","PeriodicalId":344945,"journal":{"name":"Bulletin of the Rocky Mountain Modern Language Association","volume":"43 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-01-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114923998","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The Medieval Mind in "Sir Gawain and the Green Knight" 《高文爵士与绿衣骑士》中的中世纪思想

His relationship is usually referred to by us as one of \"participation\" since he apparently lacked the strong sense of personal identity which characterizes modem man, and saw himself as much more a part of the world around him. His sense of identity lay in his relationship to his gods as established through ritual, which is the essence of his religion and which is eventually systemized into what we recognize as myth. The importance of myth and ritual to the life of the primitive cannot be overstressed. Mircea Eliade states in Cosmos and History that, \"among primitives, not only do rituals have their mythical model but any human act whatever acquires effectiveness to the extent to which it exactly repeats an act performed at the beginning of time by a god, a hero, or an ancestor.\"1 The primitive's sense of what is real and of his own identity were intimately associated with ritual. Eliade remarks that, \"An object or an act becomes real only insofar as it imitates or repeats an archetype. Thus, reality is acquired solely through repetition or participation; everything which lacks an exemplary model is 'meaningless,' i.e., it lacks reality . . . he (the primitive) sees himself as real, i.e., as 'truly himself,' only, and precisely, insofar as he ceases to be so.\"2 The transitional nature of the medieval mind accounts at least in part for the peculiar mixture of myth, legend, and history in earlier English histories. Probably all of the romances as well as the histories have both mythical and modem elements since the very concepts of history and hterature as written expression require a degree of modem sensibility. One of the characteristics of the earliest hterature is a lack of interest in form as such. Since the myth is considered simply to be \"true,\" to impose a form upon it would be, to the mind of the primitive, a violation of reality. It therefore follows that in primitive hterature there is much that we would","PeriodicalId":344945,"journal":{"name":"Bulletin of the Rocky Mountain Modern Language Association","volume":"9 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-01-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121892070","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Although none of Eggleston's novels have ever been widely acclaimed by elitist literary critics, his first novel, The Hoosier School-Master, was an instant popular success when it was first serialized in Hearth and Home magazine in 1871, it has had continuous popularity now for over a century,l and it is regularly on the required reading lists of college courses devoted to the American novel.2 The popularity of the book stems in part from its regional realism, but without question the most important aspect of The Hoosier SchoolMaster is Eggleston's use of dialect. Writing in the preface to the 1892 library edition of the book, Eggleston correctly observed that The Hoosier SchoolMaster was \"the file-leader of the procession of American dialect novels\" in the 1870's and 80's.3 Eggleston's chief critic and biographer, William Randel, also stressed the importance of the use of dialect in The Hoosier SchoolMaster:","PeriodicalId":344945,"journal":{"name":"Bulletin of the Rocky Mountain Modern Language Association","volume":"17 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1974-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123134630","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Weiss","doi":"10.1353/RMR.1974.0000","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1353/RMR.1974.0000","url":null,"abstract":"Richard Wright's Black Boy has long been recognized as one of the classics of protest literature because it exposes the negative impact of a racist environment upon the development of the human personality on even the most basic levels of physical and social maturation. This theme of the autobiographical Black Boy has a corollary, namely, that such a racist environment almost inevitably precludes the development of the human personality on the higher planes of existence, such as the intellectual, philosophical, and aesthetic, because it forces the individual to concentrate his full energies upon the task of merely surviving. Wright had originally entitled his autobiography \"American Hunger,\" a title which better focused the multi-level nature of Richard's quest for selfactualization in the midst of an overwhelmingly hostile environment. Most obvious is the connection between that environment and Richard's struggle for the bare essentials of subsistence food, clothing, shelter, friendship, and security. But unlike Shorty and Griggs, who have been \"stunted\" by that environment and emerge in Black Boy as individuals concerned entirely with the bare essentials of physical survival, Richard constantly struggles to transcend the limitations of that environment. Wright presents the young Richard as an individual driven to seek out the \"grand design\" of life, at first as a means of understanding his peculiar personal circumstances and experience, and, by the story's end, as the basis for an artistic vision which will serve him in his struggle to become an artist. As in James Joyce's Portrait of the Artist, to which Black Boy owes much, imagination plays a key role in young Richard's relationship to external reality. From the very outset of Black Boy, Wright endows Richard with an active and fertile imagination that gradually creates in the hero an organic awareness that life's possibilities are not limited to the bleakness of the reality in which he lives. More specifically, in Wright's controlled description of life in the South, environment characteristically limits Richard's experience in almost every incident to the negative dimensions of boredom, hunger, anger, and hatred, all of which are barriers to experience of a positive nature. Imagination becomes Richard's only tool or weapon for wresting from such an environment experiences which could be characterized as positive and healthy.","PeriodicalId":344945,"journal":{"name":"Bulletin of the Rocky Mountain Modern Language Association","volume":"100 7","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1974-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"120842800","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Transubstantiation in the Pardoner's Tale 《赦免者的故事》中的变形

Millichap","doi":"10.1353/RMR.1974.0003","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1353/RMR.1974.0003","url":null,"abstract":"Although the complexity of Chaucer's most puzzling pilgrim, the Pardoner, has elicited a variety of critical reactions, the best recent scholarship elucidates the religious patterns in his portrait and tale.1 For example, A. L. Kellog studies the Pardoner as an illustration in Augustinian terms of spiritual degeneration, the secret punishment of sin,' and Robert P. Miller interprets the Pardoner's character through comparison with the Scriptural eunuch, concluding that he is spiritually, as well as physically, impotent.3 The present study extends this religious approach by considering imagery of transubstantiation and transformation in the Pardoner's Tale. In traditional Christian terms, the Pardoner, unable to participate in Christ's sacrificial act through the transubstantiation rite of the Mass, transforms his works into meaningless material successes only, not into spiritual achievement. Interestingly enough, the dynamics of this personality development are corroborated by the modern religious psychology of Carl Jung. The positioning of the Pardoner's typical sermon within the sacrifice of the Mass creates religious implications of considerable importance in a reading of his character. Unfortunately, criticism has not considered the typical setting of the Pardoner's histrionics as thoroughly as the scene of the recorded performance on the Canterbury pilgrimage. The General Prologue demonstrates that he usually speaks at the Offertory of the Mass:","PeriodicalId":344945,"journal":{"name":"Bulletin of the Rocky Mountain Modern Language Association","volume":"4 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1974-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125728412","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
