Festival Director Speaks For AAUIV Annual Dinner ShakesDeare and his writings are imDortant in the life of the world today because Shakespeare "told the truth about the causes and results of human decisions" according to Angus L. Bowmer, Ashland, who spoke at the annual spring dinner meeting of Med ford branch, American Association of University Women held Fri day night at Mon Desir. Mr. Bowmer is a professor of literature at Southern Oregon college and director of the annual Shakes pearean Festival. 'It is particularly important in this unhappy world of upset ting scientific discoveries that man be able to discover the real meaning of life," Mr. Bowmer said. "He can arrive at these real meanings throug religion, philosophy and the arts, it is important to know the relation ship of man to man, man to God and man to the universe. "Unless we discover and come to know about these needs and relationships soon, we shortly will not need doctors, or sci entists or anything else," Mr. Bowmer said. "An occasional person is born who has unusual abilities, un usual sensitivity, in knowing the inner needs of man such a person was Shakespeare. What he wrote about man is as true today as it was 350 years ago." Literature has a moral pur pose, the speaker said, and added that the purpose of all real art was to tell the truth about man. He declared that the true meaning of literature is of ten lost on the reader, and gave examples of misunderstood pass ages from some of Shakespeare's works. "The true meaning of man's life is. in all of Shakespeare's plays, he said. "They show that there is something in life more important that life itself and that is human values." He said that persons attend ing a Shakespearean play should feel a sense of elation, should feel inspired because they could say " I am a member of a race of beings as glorious as that." Mr. Bowmer was introduced by Mrs. Done Lane, president of the group, who also con ducted a brief business meeting during which Mrs P. F. Jacque min was elected vice-president to replace Mrs. A. N.
