Adolf Wins
Bell Award
For Writing
Dr. Helen Adolf, professor of
German, today became the first
recipient of the $lOOO Louis H.
Bell Memorial Award as the fac
ulty member who submitted the
best book manuscript to the Uni
versity Press during the year 1959
Her manuscript, "Visio Pacis:
Holy City and Grail," will be re
leased this summer.
T Rowland Slingluff, director
of the Press, says Miss Adolf
shows in the manuscript how the
Grail symbol evolved from the
loss of the Holy Sepulchre with
the fall of Jerusalem in 1187.
The award, established by the
trustees, honors the late Bell, who
served the University for 24
years, the last 15 as director of
public information and University
editor. He was instrumental in
founding the University Press in
1956 and served as its executive
director until his death in 1958.
Miss Adolf was formally hon
ored at commencement exercises.
In addition to the $lOOO cash prize,
made available through the Penn
State Alumni Fund, she will be
entitled to all royalties earned
by the book.
