BOWEN PRAISES
(Continued from page one)
work of “Human Comedy” showed
the trueness of human nature,
stressed Dr. Bowen. “He expound
ed theories through his characters
but did not allow the theories to
get the better of himself.”
In presenting nearly 3000 char
acters in his “Human Comedy.”
consisting of 97 novels and short
stories, Balzac portrayed the na
ture of society made up of men
of all classes but basically resemb
ling one another, Dr. Bowen said.
But in the portrayal of his main
characters, Balzac gave them dis
tinct personalities.
Since Balzac was fascinated by
the old regime of the aristocracy,
many' of his characters reflect this
ideal, Mr. Bowen stated, for he
projected his likes and dislikes
into his characters. Long intro
ductions were used at the begin
ning of his stories to place the
setting, for many intricate phases
of home life were used to portray
his characters, Dr. Bowen said.
Environments
“As ancient man can be observ
ed by what is found in his dwell
ings. Balzac believed that modern
man could be studied and psycho
analyzed in his surroundings,” said
the professor of languages. And to
Balzac's thinking, man's actions
depended upon his environments.
In presenting men and women
of Fiance during the first half of
the nineteenth century, Balzac was
a good historian and brought out
the fact of increase in business,
during this period in France, as
serted Dr. Bowen.
Balzac lived closely and inti
mately with characters he created.
Upon his deathbed he called out
the name of a brilliant and skillful
doctor from one of his stories, say
ing that the doctor -would save his
life, said Dr. Bowen. “And his
greatest characters always had a
great mind and great soul.”
To All Tastes
“There is a type of character to
appeal to all tastes of men in his
"Human Comedy,” asserted Dr.
Bowen, “and in one story, Balzac
included high society, the financial
world, the literary and the artis
tic, crime and the law courts.”
Balzac liked young girls and de

tested old maids; he called one of
the old maid characters, “The Old
Cemetery,” and another he said
was, “uglier than the Seven Sins,’’
and Dr. Bowen added, smilingly,
“He didn’t say much about bache
lors, perhaps because he was one
himself.”
None of his lawyers were por
trayed with greatness but many of
them had good human qualities,
said Dr. Bowen, and his soldiers
mirrored his own feelings by show
ing a deep loyalty to the Emperor,
Napoleon. His characters ranged
from the lowest criminal to the
most exalted clergyman.
Dr. Bowen was introduced by
Dr. R. H. Ernst, chairman of the
University lecture series, who an
nounced that the next speaker to
appear would be Dr. Max Radin,
professor of law, University of
California. Dr. Radin will discuss

the legal and moral implications
involved in moving the Japanese
Americans from the west coast
during the national emergency.
About 150 members of the fac
ulty, student body and townspeople
attended last night’s lecture.
