(Time magaxme)This isREVEREND MR. MARTIN LUTHER GRAEBNER, Luth¬eran pastor to UC. The Reverend Mr. Graebner representsall Lutheran synods on campus. As pastor his major respon¬sibility is to the church and its members. This work includes every¬thing from conferring with university personnel about personal andreligious matters, giving formal and informal lectures, to conductingregular Sunday Lutheran church services in Hilton chapel. A univer¬sity chaplain can be considered a lobbyist for the ch&rch on campusand also acts as liaison officer between the University and the church.The University makes good use of his extra-theological talents andknowledge. He has taught ^oc I, II, and III in the college at varioustimes, and on the publication date of this paper is busily gradingthis summer’s Soc III comprehensive examinations.Rev. Graebner is greatly interested in the relation of the churchto American society and institutions and has done research work inthis field. For UC Press he has set up a microfilm corpus (body ofsource documents) in colonial American religions. Articles by Rev.• Graebner have appeared in “Pulpit” and several other religiousperiodicals.The subject matter of Rev. Graebner’s lectures tends to deal withthe relationship of the social sciences to religion and vice versa, andhe will soon repeat a series of lectures dealing with the emergenceof Christian ritual pattern out of Jewish ritual.In prep school and at Concordia Theological seminary in St. Louishis study was primarily that of the Greek and Latin classics.In 1942 Rev. Graebner went to war as a cahplain. He saw servicewith the infantry and the combat engineers in the southwest Pacific.While receiving final repairs and recuperating from his war in¬juries at the Army hospital on 51st street (which is now 5th Armyheadquarters) Rev. Graebner began taking courses in anthropology atUC under Robert Redfeld. He was appointed Lutheran pastor here byhis church in 1947. Since he is devoting his life as a servant of thechurch, he will I’emain here as long as the church dictates, but hevery much enjoys the stimulating UC environment.Charlotte Boie, a girl he had known since his childhood in St. Paul,Minnesota, becan e Mrs. Graebner in 1942. At the time she was at¬tending Mamline university in St. Paul, and has since then donegraduate work in the fine arts at the Institute of Design in Chicago.Mrs. Graebner is currently president of the 57th Street art fair. TheGraebners have two children, Jimmy 8 at the lab school, and Michael,15 at prep school studying the classics, carrying on the Graebner fam¬ily tradition (there has been a Graebner on a college campus in onecapacity or other since the 16th century).(photo and article by Ed Szkirpan)(Editor’s note: While the Maroon might be questioned for its stresson pacifist activities (all the news there seemed to be this week) weare sure our readers will note with interest that our “This is” thisweek is a man that characterizes the most extreme conservatism —the Rev.

Because of his age and the na¬ture of his ambitions, MarvinFriedman had no chance to ful¬fill his potentiality. If you. or I —if any student — vanished today,the tragedy would be much thesame. Our happiness, like Marv’s,can only bo of the sort that pre¬cedes encounter with the fullforce of destiny’s challenge.

The legate of the Popearrives to arrest Cenci just intime to discover his murder, andBeatrice and all her family, afterthe cruellest tortures to make thestubborn and unrepentant Bea¬trice confess, are condemned andexecuted. Shelley was attemptingto demonstrate an aspect of thenature of reality, and his essen¬tial device was the conflict be¬tween the theologies of Beatriceand Cenci.Partly because of thedistance of the central stage fromthe wings. Beatrice repeatedlyran from Cenci, as if in physicalfear. She seemed reluctant tooppose her will to his, except onthe clearest, most extremegrounds. The result was that theaudience was rarely confrontedwith a clear opposition betweenBeatrice and Count Cenci FirstCenci dominated the stage and theaction, and then, after his death.Beatrice became dominant, butihe clash of wills, of theologies, of the superhuman, was muted, ortransmuted.The play, as demonstrated bythe production by the Courtplayers, can be made Into mosteffective theatre. The audiencewas receptive, appreciative andimpressed, and I feel sure thatmost of those who knew the playbeforehand were startled by theeffectiveness and power of whatthey saw. But though it has beendemonstrated again that “TheCenci” has some most effectivescenes in it, it has not been provedthat as Shelley wrote it It Is agreat play.
