Leopoldskron Castle, Salzburg, Austria Provost leading Seminar in ca reader Penieryiw WI State University Capitol Campus Middletown, Pa. 17057 Offiee—W-129 Ph0ne—(717)944-4970 1321E1 June 10, 1982 Theodore L. Gross, Ph.D., Provost of Capitol Campus, returned May 4 from a two-week "working vacation" in Salzburg, Austria, where he attended and was keynote speaker for the 212th Salzburg Seminar for American Studies. Dr. Gross indicated that the Seminars were begun in the 1940's and have been sponsored by the Harvard Student Coun cil and the Rockefeller Foundation. The Seminar was held near Salzburg in the Schloss Leopoldskron (Leopoldskron Castle), formerly the residence of Max Reinhardt, one of the originators and principal producers of the renowned music and drama festival held there nearly annually since 1917. The magnifi cent castle, pictured at left, now houses the Salzburg Seminar for American Studies where about a hundred students from more than 15 countries study each summer. Dr. Gross delivered two speeches during this session, one on Ralph Ellison's work on the black American experience and the other of Saul Bellow on the Jewish American ex perience. Dr. Gross culminated his research in black and Jewish American literature over the years resulting in the publication of Dark Symphony: Negro Literature in America along with James Emanuel (1968), and The Literature of American Jews (1973) among his many literary successes. Dr. Gross described the beauty of the Alps, the scenic river banks around Salzburg (the birthplace of Mozart), and the antiquity of the castle as providing a unique background for the Seminar. The stimulation of other Fellows during the Seminar, during one evening sharing native poetry and another evening enjoy ing Cole Porter and Duke Ellington music on the piano, was likened by Dr. Gross to a Cultural United Nations. This fall, Dr. Gross will be teaching a "Seminar in American Culture: Ellison and Bellow," dealing with the black American experience as exemplified by the work of Ralph Ellison and the Jewish American experience as illustrated by the work of Saul Bellow. If you register for this Wednesday evening course, you too can enjoy the literary enrichment which was shared with the Fellows of the Salzburg Seminar this spring.
