The action is as swiftas the wind of a tropical storm; again, as slow andinexorable as a lazy Mississippi flood. The thrills of amelodrama are tame compared with the tenseness of thechaotic aftermath of one of these ravages of nature.Humor aplenty seems furnished by the gods of destruction to dissolve the tenseness and strain ; but always withthe tragedy and heart-aches of the grim reaper lurkingof! stage.This spring's floods and tornadoes have lacked noneof these characteristics. But for the forewarning ofwinter's preparations both floods and tornadoes camewithout warning. In seventeen of the affected states, Ihave seen the behavior of the elements and of man. Atnoon on St. Patrick's Day a flood was not expected inJohnstown, Pennsylvania ; but by evening all of the business section and half the residences were under fifteenfeet of mud laden water. On the Merrimack in NewHampshire a new river bed was scoured where severalbusiness and residential blocks had stood. Rich onion,tobacco and asparagus land in the Connecticut RiverValley was badly eroded and in places covered with sand *and unproductive silt. Everywhere household goods wereruined, buildings were water soaked, damaged and attimes destroyed. In the South, the utter destruction ofthe tornadoes in several cities can be compared only withthe devastation of war itself. Respectable piles of kindling wood remained where block after block of poor,middle class and expensive residences had stood- — hundreds killed, more hundreds seriously injured and thousands homeless.Now what does a Red Cross disaster relief man doin such times? Well, first he directs the local, county-wide Red Cross Chapters to meet the emergency needsof food, shelter, clothing and medical attention; and,then, he gets there himself, with his staff and otherworkers from his disaster reserve. He goes by plane, ortrain, or auto, or railroad gasoline car, or Navy destroyer — or he walks part way; somehow he arrives.This time I flew into Johnstown by Army plane from * By ROBERT E. BONDY, '17Boiling Field, Washington, D. C. Flying with zerovisibility part of the way, we fortunately had an openingover Johnstown, permitting a landing on a small watersoaked field with no run ways. A few days later ontaking off from this same field its soggy condition heldthe ship on the ground so long that we took off the topof a tree and damaged a wing — but went on.With word at Headquarters of the Southern NewYork flood last year, three of us were whisked to BoilingField to board an Army transport plane for Elmira.Knowing that my young son, a would-be famous airplanemodel producer, would demand to know the make ofplane on my return, I asked an officer standing by. Withcool seriousness he replied, "That's a Northrup. Wehad three, but two of 'em cracked up."Well, we boarded the remaining Northrup entry,and as the pilot — a splendid Army Air Corps Captain —completed his engine warm-up, and we were strapped inwith parachutes on, he turned and called out through asmall opening, "Are you all set?"We chorused an affirmative."Everything is ready then," he said. "I look forno trouble, but if anything should happen I'll give youthe sign. You know how to work those 'chutes don'tyou? — Well, that door there is the one you use to getout ; and don't bother to take your baggage."My companions still insist that for several longmoments I had a long, vacant stare — although eventuallyrecovering my disaster relief poise to enjoy an eventfultrip over Pennsylvania's beautiful Alleghenies.On that same disaster I had two Army observationtwo-seaters assigned to me for survey use. Roads wereimpassable at points and the rounds were made for several days to Ithaca, Hornell, Binghamton to check onrelief organization — and one day on the request of aCongressman solicitous over one of his towns, I flew toeastern New York to find not enough water in his townto wet a small sponge.This business of transportation in disaster timetosses in its share of the thrills. During the 1927 Mississippi flood I was traveling by boat — a steel eighteenfooter — across country, over tree tops and telegraphpoles from Leland to Greenville, Mississippi, with several others including my Mississippi state relief chairman,4 THE UNIVERSITY O Fthe Adjutant General of the State, and several localmen, when the engine back-fired, ignited the gas floatingon the bottom of the boat, and, puff, up went a flame atleast ten feet high. Four men jumped into the water,including Mr. L. O. Crosby, my state chairman. Istayed put, and fortunately didn't get my feet wet, asRobert E. Bondy, '17several small out-board motor boats put out from theback side of the levee a half mile away, took us off, andrescued the others from the water. Believe it or not,it was on Friday, the thirteenth day of May. (And,did you know that the merry month of May producesmore disasters than any other month?)In that Mississippi flood, my train wheeled througha foot and two feet of water on several occasions. Oncebecause of a soft road bed, the small gasoline car usedfor railroad maintenance work took us over rails coveredby water and over shaky bridges to a refugee concentration point. At other times the river boats of the ArmyEngineers carried us over great tree tops submerged byseveral feet of Old Man River. I recall vividly the occasion of Mr. Hoover, then Secretary of Commerce, andJames L. Fieser, our Vice Chairman in Charge ofDomestic Operations, walking over a railroad bridge toreach a beleaguered town, the bridge going out but afew minutes later.Well, Johnstown in this spring's flood was quiteunprepared. Whether due to the belief that anotherflood would not come, or to the obsessions of a depression hit steel town, or to other reasons, conditions werechaotic. Except for the invariable outreach of neighborkeeping neighbor, the town was disorganized when Iarrived at said sloppy landing field less than fourteenhours after the peak of the water. In town, panic reignedbecause of a false report, broadcast by an amateur radiooperator, that the dam had burst. I saw thousands fleeing to the hills in reasonably good order, but some, Ilearned later, with pillows, with lamp shades, with birdcages. One splendid elderly woman went up the sheerface of a hill rather than using the easier roadway, andwas told later in my presence by her children that certainly she must be in training for the Olympics at Berlinthis summer. CHIC A GO M A G A Z I N EThe water went down very rapidly, but parts oftown could not be reached because the water still stoodin many streets. Bridges were out, local telephone service "was gone. All food warehouses, hotels, retail groceries — except a few small residential section food stores—were flooded. Lights were out downtown. Everyone— literally so — was concerned over the welfare of relatives, or the condition of places of business and employment. With half the homes flooded in a metropolitanarea of over 90,000, the other half gave temporary shelterin schools, churches, dance pavilions and in the homeshigh and dry on the hills. But leadership was not to bereached, what with no communication and the generalchaos.Somehow that evening about ten substantial citizens,including our own local chairman and several of hiscommittee, met with me — in the Memorial Hospitalerected from the balance of relief funds after the 1889flood — and we organized. One man took charge of therefugee centers, one of the transportation of supplies, oneof food purchases, one of Red Cross headquarters arrangements, one of money raising. Then in the darkness,through mud and debris, among hanging power wires,I groped my way with two others to the telephone exchange for a report to Washington. Previously a radioman at the C.C.C. Camp had sent out my first reportshortly after arrival.Things then began to happen rapidly. Shortlytwenty refugee centers to house, feed and give medicalcare were running. A central warehouse for the tonsAdmiral Cary T. Grayson, Chairman, AmericanRed Cross (left) and Mr. Bondy inspect floodedarea at Nashua, New Hampshire.of donated foodstuffs and clothing was established at Central High School. W.P.A. men and trucks were assigned to us. Members of my staff trickled in as disrupted transportation permitted — one man coming viaPittsburgh, where his plane made a zero-zero landing.My food chairman — a local wholesale grocer whose ownTHE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINEflooded warehouse loss reached seventy-five thousanddollars, was masterful in keeping a constant flow of foodcoming in by truck, while neglecting his own affairs.With the normal channels of food distribution gone, wefaced on the third day the task of feeding almost theentire city. Over night commissaries were establishedand — well — no one went hungry.As order came, district offices were organized forregistration so that duplication in relief giving could beeliminated. Our experienced workers began their visitsto families to determine those in need of aid. Awardsfollowed for those with insufficient resources to providehousehold goods, to repair or rebuild homes, to furnishclothing, to continue medical care, to occasionally reestablish the small merchant — the one man business — orprofessional man so that his source of income would beassured.During the emergency, relief supplies and passengercars as well were only moving in to town with a RedCross sticker on the wind shield. One day a U. S. PostOffice Department inspector called on me — worried thatthe first five trucks of U. S. mail to reach Johnstownwould not be admitted to town. I gave him the stickersand Uncle Sam's mail moved under the protection of theRed Cross. Just a few more general observations from my seventeen years of Red Cross experience. My first disasterexperience was in 1921 with a fire in Arkansas, thenfollowed the Pueblo flood — where we lost the Governor,much needed on state organization and fund raising matters, but found him giving out blankets in Pueblo. TheLorain, Ohio, tornado, the Mississippi flood, the Drought,the tropical hurricanes and other disasters have broughtexperiences rich with the association of splendid personalities, varied in their location and filled with anevolving system of relief that carried promptness andsufficiency as its essence.I've found people much the same everywhere. Allhave their strengths and weaknesses laid bare by thechaos and tenseness of the emergency. Leadership risesto the top. In the early days everyone volunteers to dohis bit. Then the enthusiasm wears off. The brick-batsfollow — "you received more than I did," or "I didn'tget enough." Finally, all are happy. The families inneed have been aided in accord with their individualneeds. Most traces of the disaster have disappeared.And beautiful resolutions are passed telling what a greatorganization the Red Cross is, and what sterling characters make up its staff. With experience you can callthe turn on each of those stages.(Continued on Page 28)* JiH >SE'S S I n.*-»_•* .<*?-Main business square of Gainesville, Georgia, after tornado of April 6, 1936NINE DAYS OF REUNINGThe 1936 Reunion Season at Chicago offered, by allodds, the most extensive alumni program ever given onthe Midway. From the morning of June 8, when DeanRobinson called to order the first session of the AlumniSchool, until the lawyers and Rush Medical alumni adjourned their meetings late in the evening of June 16there was a well nigh continuous list of events runningthrough the waking hours of the day with several andsundry celebrations running well into hours normallydedicated to sleep.Many of the events that have become almost traditional at Reunion time found a place on the program.There were the annual dinner meetings and banquets ofthe Social Service Administrators, the South Side Medical Alumni, the Doctors of Philosophy, the Law SchoolAlumni and the Rush Medical graduates. The Classesof 1886, 1896, 1901, 1911, 1912, 1916, 1917, 1931 and1935 all staged more or less elaborate celebrations.The most impressive class reunion ever witnessed atthe University was the quarter centennial of the Classof Ee-o-lev-en. From the opening of the first bottleof sarsaparilla in the late afternoon of Thursday, June8 until the final cup of tea on the following Sundayevening, the cohorts of 1911 broke all local reunionrecords for numbers, enthusiasm, loyalty, and loquacity.The story of their escapades appears on another page.The Class of 1916 turned out in remarkable numbersto celebrate its twentieth reunion. Their reunion supperat the home of Isabelle MacMurray Anderson was amost delightful affair and the annual luncheon held inconjunction with the Class of 1917 was so well attendedthat there was scarce room for all the lunchers in theCoffee Shop.The Class of 1935, never content to conform to thecustomary, staged their first annual Fandango Reunionat 10:10 on Friday night following the dramatic program in Mandel Hall and the Band Concert in Hutchinson Court. Under the auspices of '35 outdoor dancingwas provided for the modest sum of twenty-five centsper participant for all alumni and so many took advantage of the opportunity that the Class coffers werebulging by one o'clock in the morning.Friday night's Reunion Revue was a delightful potpourri from the best of the undergraduate dramaticofferings of the year. Frank O'Hara's thespians didcredit to themselves and their director. The dramaticprogram was followed by an outdoor concert by theUniversity Concert Band under the able leadership ofDirector Harold B. Bachman.The Annual Alumni Assembly on Saturday afternoonoffered a stimulating program, greatly appreciated bythe thousand alumni that crowded Mandel Hall. There were delightful addresses by Vice President Woodwardand Gordon J. Laing, Professor Emeritus of Latin andGeneral Editor of the University Press. Then as a fitting innovation we had two impressive talks by returningmembers of the twenty-five year class. Cyrus LeRoyBaldridge, artist and author, spoke on Americanism:What Is It? and Nathaniel Peffer, author, lecturer, andpublicist took for his subject Can America Keep Out ofWar? The program was made the more interesting by abrief extemporaneous talk by George E. Vincent, whowas back at Chicago to give the Convocation address andto reune with the Class of 1911, of which he is an honorary member.From every angle the Saturday assembly was successful. All those in attendance were not only entertainedbut intellectually stimulated. In the words of a formerpresident of the Chicago Stock Exchange, a most objective critic, "I grade this program one hundred per cent."The traditional Alumnae Breakfast was held on Saturday noon in the Cloister Club at Ida Noyes Hall and wasattended by more than three hundred who enjoyed notonly an hour of social relaxation but an outstanding program climaxed by an address by Professor Mayme I.Logsdon of the Department of Mathematics.Through the courtesy of the University of ChicagoPress nearly seven hundred alumni were entertained atan author's tea in the late afternoon of Saturday. Theentire second floor of the Quadrangle Club was givenover for this occasion and some thirty of our faculty authors were present to greet the returning alumni. Delicious refreshments were served in the Club dining room.The twenty-sixth annual University Sing was held onSaturday evening in Hutchinson Court. Seventeen fraternities competed before some ten or twelve or fourteenthousand people, all dependent upon the man who didthe estimating. The weather was ideal. Two radiochains broadcast portions of the program. Phi GammaDelta won first place for quality and Alpha Delta Phi produced the greatest number of songsters. The Sing waspreceded by a band concert and was followed by the induction of Aides and Marshals and the presentation ofblankets to the graduating "C" men.The Alumni School and ConferenceThe first Alumni School to be held on the Midwayproved a remarkable success from both the quantitativeand qualitative standpoints. For five days the alumniwere offered an intriguing program of lectures and discussions by a faculty of thirty-five experts. Three sessions were held each day and the attendance at the individual meetings ran from 138 low, to 464 high. Altogether seven hundred and eleven alumni registered forone or more of the courses and more than forty attendedall sessions of the school. The total attendance at the fifteen assemblies of the School ran well over thirty-four6THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINE 7hundred. More than one hundred and fifty alumni, residing outside of the fifty mile circle, registered for theSchool and there were representatives in attendance fromtwenty-six states and two foreign countries. Quantitatively the Alumni School exceeded all anticipations.From the qualitative standpoint the School was justas outstanding. Many of the leading members of theUniversity faculty cooperated in making this a most successful week of academic refurbishing and generous contributions were made by Lorado Taft, John Thwaites,Daniel Catton Rich, and George Benson from outside thefaculty fold. The interest and enthusiasm of the Alumnistudents is amply shown by the scores of laudatory letters that have come into the Alumni Office. Practicallyall of our correspondents express the hope that the Alumni School may become a permanent feature of Reunionweek.Program of the First Alumni SchoolMonday, June 8The Critical Tradition and Modern Art, Professor Edward F.

THINKS ABOUT• By EDWARD SCRIBNER AMES, PhD'95, Professor Emeritus of PhilosophyTHIS subject was not chosen for autobiographicalpurposes. Nor is the speech based upon extensiveresearch, such as might have been conducted by aquestionnaire. Had time, funds, and disposition allowed,it might have been interesting to inquire of several thousand Ph.Ds. as to what they think about when they wakeup in the morning, or just before they go to sleep atnight, or when they are relaxed, if they ever relax. Butthese remarks I am about to make are only impressionistic, fragmentary, after-dinner ruminations.The subject under consideration is the Ph.D. as such.One of my professors at Yale, with whom this expression, as such, was a great favorite, employed it to delimitany subject to its very essence, or to the exact terms ofthe definition given. For example, he defined psychologyas the science of the states of consciousness, as such. Bythis phrase he stripped the states of consciousness downto their bare bones, eliminated their context, their implications, their practical reference, their concreteness. Thisis what I am suggesting in the case of a Ph.D. Let ustake him pure, unalloyed. Let us separate from hisPhDness the fact of his being a man, or a woman, afather, brother, citizen, democrat, or pagan. The pointis perhaps best illustrated by a Ph.D. who was once awoman, but as a Ph.D. is abstracted from all that isfeminine. This abstracted, denatured, unsexed being has,as such, become impartial, impersonal, free from prejudice, bias, sentiment, and every manner of complex. ThePh.D. proper, then, is out on the tip end of a very longlimb of the human tree, so far that the circulation of thesap of human impulse runs faintly in his veins (perhapsI should say its veins) and the tension of human emotionis scarcely noticeable in its respiration.It takes a long time to develop a Ph.D. as such :to disinfect him of his native soil, to deodorize him ofthe aroma of the human herd. Seldom is the processentirely complete, for occasionally there are signs, evenin elaborate workings of minds at this altitude, of theearthy influence of disturbing winds of doctrine, and theupsurge of old antipathies. But when the discipline hasbeen applied from early youth through a long term ofyears the mind may become immune from the personalequation, or at least may become expert in allowingfor it. Immunity is also frequently achieved with reference to the corrupting appeal of monetary rewards, andof popular applause. Withdrawn into the monastic cellof the laboratory, or the subterranean depths of a librarystall, in- a sound-proof room, the needle point of attentionis not deflected by the noisy clamor of the street, or thetremors of marching throngs.At first thought it would seem that the problem offinding what a Ph.D. thinks about is simplified by thefact that the Ph.D. can use language. The attempt tolearn what a baby thinks about, or what a dog thinks*An address delivered at the annual dinner of the Association of theDoctors of Philosophy June 13, 1936. about, is complicated by the fact that they do not usewords. But the opposite difficulty often appears in thecase of the Ph.D., because he uses language too well,or rather because he employs words in such unfamiliarways. I have often noticed with much interest the behavior of members of the faculty during the proceedingsof the convocation exercises. Each one as he sits downpicks up the nicely printed list of graduates with thetitles of the theses written by those who have receivedthe long training and the required refinement of knowledge to permit them to become Ph.Ds. The few members of the faculty present on these occasions turnquickly to the titles of the theses and now and thennudge each other to share a discovery of some title thattwo professors of different departments can understand,or to share amazement over the titles in which the individual words are quite intelligible but their combination in the title entirely opaque. For example, "Magnetic Spectra of Electronic Radiation Produced by theBombardment of a Silver Target with High-Speed Electrons." Or this: "The Mechanism of Substitution inthe Aromatic Nucleus : Direct Additions in the BenzeneRing." Or this: "Reconstruction in Hydra as Evidencefor the Gradiaent Conception."Other titles of theses make sense in one sphere ofdiscourse but raise a wondering query as to how theycan designate something so technical and complicatedas a research study for a Ph.D. For instance, the subject, "A Study of the Phenomenon of Reminiscence,"might suggest after-dinner speeches or alumni reunions."The Marketing of Pacific Coast Fruits in Chicago,"and the "Classified Property Tax in the United States,"are titles of Doctors' theses, but one wonders what thefruits or the taxes look like when they have been subjected to the refinements of doctorial ratiocination. Ihave been particularly intrigued by the availability ofvery ordinary, homely things for transformation intoimpressive scientific material when subjected to expertPh.D. thinking. For example, the common knee-jerkhas been a remarkably fruitful' phenomenon when madethe subject of individual and collective studies in ourdistinguished department of physiology. Without attempting to follow these studies of the knee-jerk throughthe history of the department, I quote the titles of a fewresearches made on this problem as contained in thereport of the president of the University of Chicago forthe year 1928-29. That year, you will notice antedatesthe present administration. A more thorough historicalstudy of these reports might afford some evidence as towhether the knee-jerk has increased or diminished inthe attention of this department over a period of years.But in the one year 1928-29 the following investigationswere reported. Apparently various members of the department collaborated in an extended series of studiesof this subject, each investigator dealing with the problem from the point of view of his own special interest.8THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINE 9Thus you would easily identify the authorship of thereport on, "The Effect of Hunger Contractions upon theKnee Jerk." Almost as easily you would guess whoworked on, "The Effect of Moderate Doses of EphedrinSulphate on the Knee Jerk." But it was still anothermember of the department who reported on, "The Effectof Moderate Doses of Morphine Sulphate on the KneeJerk of the Cat." As a sort of glorified appendix tothis last study is this: "Additional Note on the Effectof Raised Intrapulmonic Pressure on the Knee Jerk,Heart Rate, and State of Consciousness!"I do not mean to unduly magnify the achievement ofany one department in these documented citations ofwhat a Ph.D. thinks about. Some one in Home Economics and Household Administration dealt with thissubject: "Human Energy Cost of Operating a VacuumCleaner at Different Speeds." But in other departments,larger and more cosmic theses are listed in this reportof the year 1928-29. An Art Instructor wrote on,"Hell," but it was, "Hell in the Florentine BaptisteryMosaic and in Giotto's Paduan Fresco," while the Professor of Philosophy who was destined to become also aState Senator, wrote, in collaboration with ClarenceDarrow and others, "A Preface to the Universe." Ofcourse this Preface to the Universe was the work of ademocrat and in the light of subsequent history may beseen as prophetic of the New Deal ; a New Deal for theUniverse, as it were.You may have noticed from what has been said thatwhat a Ph.D., as such, things about, is often differentfrom what a man, as such, thinks about. A man in thenatural, uncontaminated state, may think of anythingwhatever. The objects of his thought may shift rapidlyor may hold the focus of attention steadily for longperiods. The thoughts may be random or orderly,concrete or abstract, personal and intimate, or formaland indifferent. But the thoughts of a Ph.D. must persist, proceed, and eventuate in terms of his one chosenfield of inquiry. What he thinks about may be optionalbefore he begins to become a Doctor of Philosophy, butwhen he has once found a professor whom he likes andwhose specialty he likes, there is only a limited andcircumscribed area for his inquiry and reflection. Allhis professional life he must stay within this one laneof the great highway of travel. It will be dangerousfor him to veer out of his path. If he is a chemist hemust not try to be at the same time a biologist, or asociologist, or an ornithologist. If he assumes to crossany of these lines he is suspected by his fellow chemists,and rejected by the other fraternities of specialists. Inparticular he must not, whatever his proper scientificspecialty, permit himself to wander into philosophy forit is assumed that in philosophy he would find nothingof importance, but by the very attempt to adopt philosophy he would lose whatever respectability he mayhave had as a scientist.I said that as a man it is allowable to think of anysubject whatever — courtship and marriage, personalpopularity, wealth, fame, happiness, death and destiny,but a Ph.D., as such, thinks of none of these things unless he makes it the one main thing for all his profes sional thinking. It is an interesting question as to howany Ph.D. happened to get to thinking about the particular thing he thinks about. Sometimes it is what hisfather was interested in, or his brother, or an uncle,or a benefactor. It may be due to some course recommended by a dean, or it may have come about by reading a book, or by hearing a lecture on the opening ofKing Tutankamen's tomb, or by suffering, or seeingothers suffer, from some malady or some injustice. Iremember the story a dentist told me as to how hechanced to become a dentist. While he was at work onmy tooth, I began to wonder how the man ever got intothe profession, and asked him what determined him tobe a dentist. "Well," he said, "when I was a boy, aphrenologist came to our town and I had him make achart of my head. He told me that the cranial bumpsindicated that I had a mechanical turn, and that decidedme to become a dentist."There are, of course, provisions in many schools forvocational guidance, and through their college course,students have various opportunities to discover for themselves something about their own aptitudes and tastes, —from survey courses, advice of instructors, and information concerning openings in professions and scholarlypursuits. Yet it remains a very significant fact that thespecial subject upon which one is to do his most arduousthinking is hit upon in more or less fortuitous ways.This is partly what is meant when it is said that man'srational life rests upon the irrational. However reasonable and scientific a man's professional life may be, itis scarcely possible to show that what he thinks about,that is, his profession itself, was the choice of a reasonedand logical decision. There is evidence to show thatmen are persuaded to go into certain pursuits by socialpressure of the environment, by economic needs, bythe prestige of certain callings in given periods, and bythe influence of enthusiasts in scientific and culturalfields. For example, it is said of Agassiz that "he didnot wait for students to come to him; he made inquiryfor promising collectors, and when he heard of one, hewrote, inviting and urging him to come. . . . He saidto every one that a year or two of natural history,studied as he understood it, would give the best training for any kind of mental work. Sometimes he wasamusingly naif in this regard, as when he offered to puthis whole Museum at the disposition of the Emperor ofBrazil if he would but come and labor there." "As aresult of his activities every notable teacher of naturalhistory in the United States for the second half of thenineteenth century was at some time a pupil of Agassizor of one of his students."Sometimes, but not always, a Ph.D. thinks about thisquestion as to how he came to think about what hethinks about, and then he perceives that there is a relation between prevailing social conditions and the run ofattention in the individual. A pioneer, frontier epochstimulates people otherwise than does an industrial,urban, maturing society. It is not difficult to understand why more interest has lately developed in economics, and political science. Even philosophy has beenquickened by the challenge of war and depression to10 THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINEinquire anew into the question of values and meaningsin life. More people than ever before are askingwhether, if we are sophisticated persons, we can haveanything more than councils of despair, glossed over perhaps with some light humor and its tinkling laughter. Itseems characteristic of the times to praise and exploithumor as a high virtue, and I think it is a virtue, ifunderstood as Chesterton has interpreted it, but muchof the humor of our day lacks depth. It has no somaticresonance, no significant reverberation. Maybe we needto be analyzed — I do not say merely psycho-analyzed—to find out how what we think about is motivated. Certainly many problems of research arise in the practiceof medicine. Others arise in agriculture, mining, transportation, communication. Astronomy sets our watchesby the stars though it is not necessary to conclude thatthe purpose of astronomy is to give good train service,any more than it would be adequate to think that thechief reason for studying the spots on the sun is to discover what the weather will be two days or two monthshence. We know how to sympathize with the mood ofProfessor Michelson when asked, as he often was, abouthis studies of the speed of light. "What's the good ofit," they asked, and the only answer he could give tosuch questioners was an exclamation, an expletive ! Partof his answer to those who did not ask him was thestory of a prominent citizen who sat by him at a dinner.Endeavoring to make conversation with a man whosefame was so much bound up with light, the prominentcitizen spoke with such enthusiasm and special appreciation of Thomas Edison and the inventions he had madein the use of light and electricity that Professor Michel-son remarked that he thought Faraday should be givensome credit in those matters, whereupon the citizen exclaimed in surprise, "Who in hell is Faraday? I neverheard of him!"This lack of popular appreciation for research doesnot disprove the view that research is motivated in thelast analysis by needs, pressures, or tendencies in humanlife. The full discussion of this point would involvethe question as to what the public thinks about Ph.Ds.The fact that Ph.Ds. are permitted to exist at all, andthe further fact that society provides in some way fortheir endowment, would require consideration. The factthat prophets sometimes get stoned is not final proofthat those who throw the stones do not need the prophets.Professor Josiah Royce some years ago gave a lecturebefore the philosophy club of this University the subject of which he said might be paraphrased, "How to bea Cultivated Person, though a Graduate Student," andhis prescription for this worthy end was the study ofthe biographies of the leaders in one's field. Throughthe personal history of great thinkers it is possible tosee something of the roots of their interest in the en vironment, and in the influences which move aboutthem.The other side of the problem is to discover how theimportant work of specialists may be more adequatelywrought into the fabric of common life. Research workwas defined at one of the convocation dinners here yearsago as the gathering of materials from obscure placesand putting them in other inaccessible places. This Isuppose is confirmed by the stacks of dust covereddoctors' theses hidden away in the depths of the university libraries. Perhaps it is also confirmed by thegreat thoughts safely enshrined in many ivory towers,thoughts too subtle, too fine, too advanced to be exposed to the light and air. One of my colleagues holds,as I understand him, though he doubts whether any onereally understands him, that we must have experts whoare in no sense practitioners. It is their business tothink pure thoughts in their lofty realm. Then thereare needed others who will ascend into the presence ofthese experts and carry down to the masses and makepractical application so far as possible of the vision beheld in the heights. The plan that appeals to me evenmore than this is to form a labor union among the Ph.Ds.and limit the working hours of the members as all goodunions do, to something like forty hours per week. Thenin the enforced freedom of the other waking hours whenthe Ph.Ds. are not allowed to think about what theyprofessionally think about, at least not in the way theyordinarily think about it, they shall live in the midst ofthe common life, mingling as Socrates did with hisneighbors, asking questions, and observing the greatdrama on the world's great stage. Like him, theywould take into the thick of things their method of careful analysis, cautious generalization, and practical experimentation. They would be required to recognize theobligations of citizenship, to be informed about politicalissues, and the deeper matters which condition politicalissues. They would be expected to learn how to relax,and to play, and to think at least half the time about theproblems that concern practical life. In this way thePh.D. would think about what a man thinks about, ora woman thinks about, and in the open spaces of thewide-spread leisure from manual labor which have become possible, there could be cultivated for masses ofmen more of the life of the mind and of real beauty. Ourcountry from its founding has been committed to theidea that education is the safe-guard of our liberties,and the University of Chicago was founded in the conviction that the highest scholarship ultimately has valuefor humanity. There are now more than three thousanddoctors of philosophy of this university. What theythink about as Ph.Ds. is important, but what they thinkabout as men and women and citizens who are alsoPh.Ds. is of still greater importance.SUMMER ON THE QUADRANGLESCloister Club — at Ida Noyes Hall — deserts thedining room in favor of the eool outdoor cloisters in the shadow of the ehapel tower.To the left: HullCourt whose beauties are well knownto every alumnus.To the right: TheCoffee Shop movesout on the terraceoverlooking Hutchinson fountain.

I getcommunications from Dean Irons, recommendations of all kinds, and I have so much confidence inhim and I know so little about the men whom he recommends anyway that I just O. K. and pass it along. Ofcourse I am concerned, as all of the administrative officers of the University are concerned and have been concerned as long as I can remember with the difficultproblem that has confronted the University, namely thatof the relation of the two Medical Schools to eacrTotherand to the University as a whole. I shall not attemptto recite the history of the present administration tosolve that problem. At times it has seemed unsolvable.However, the University as you already know has recently taken steps which certainly are of great significance and we earnestly hope will rapidly bring abouta happy solution of the problem. It has been definitelysettled again that medical teaching and research will becontinued on the West Side and all the resources that wecan demand will be devoted to it. Furthermore it hasbeen decided to unite the medical work on the WestSide and on the South Side in one administrative organization. There will be one medical school operating ,¦within the division of the Biological Sciences of the University and on the West Side it is our purpose to developa program which will have in the long run two importantfunctions. First advanced training, thoroughly scientificin character leading to the certification of specialists inthe various fields; second, to direct prolonged study afterthe M.D. degree. As the number of advanced studentsincrease it is believed that the number of undergraduatestudents will be gradually reduced. The University now turns out more doctors than any other MedicalSchool in the country. It may be that in the end undergraduate instruction will disappear entirely from theWest Side, but I want to assure you that no precipitoussteps will be taken.In uniting the-two schools it has been generally agreedthat to bring the administration under the direction ofthe Dean of Biological Sciences there should be appointed a full-time officer. An officer who will have thefreedom to keep in touch with the work on the SouthSide and the West Side, so that the schools may becomeone in fact as well. Therefore Dr. Emmett Bay willtake over the administration of the West Side on July 1with the title of Associate Dean of the Division of Biological Sciences. Naturally I cannot let this moment passwithout attempting to express our appreciation to Dr.Irons. It would be futile for me to try to tell you anything about him as a physician, scientist, teacher andeven as an administrative officer, but I can tell you thatduring all these difficult years his dealings with the President's Office have been conducted with patience and consideration and such a cooperative and helpful spirit as toearn not only our admiration and respect but our confidence and our devotion. He has served faithfully theinterests both for Rush and for the University and hedeserves your gratitude and ours. I am sure that Dr.Bay will find in him a valuable advisor. For Dr. Bay Iconfidently bespeak your hearty support. A Rush manhimself I am sure he can count on your loyal assistancein maintaining and spreading the great institution ofwhich we are so justly proud, an institution which has amagnificent history and which now promises to have afuture even greater than its past.Dean Ernest E. Irons Tells of the FutureONE Medical School, one name — Rush — one administration, progressive reduction in size ofclasses, increased emphasis on advanced medicaltraining. Most important of all, the adoption of a policy, and the termination of indecision. This announcement thrills us all. It is of tremendous importance tothe Faculties, to Alumni, and to present and future students. It means much to the Presbyterian and CookCounty Hospitals, the Central Free Dispensary, to themedical interests of Chicago, to the University of Chicago, to medical education.It is impossible to mention by name all those whogave freely of their time in the discussions that led tothe final result. I must pay tribute, however, to thePresident of the Board of Managers of the PresbyterianHospital and the members of his special committee fortheir parent and intelligent studies of the issues involved. The solution now seems simple enough, and yet theproblem has been extremely complex. In spite of numerous disappointments and failures through the yearssince 1898, when President Harper* effected the affiliation of Rush with the University of Chicago, hope hasnever been abandoned, and we have always believedthat ultimately a way would be found to accomplish theresult which we now celebrate. I am satisfied that thepresent program as outlined by the President is the bestthat could be devised. The further passage of yearswill be required for most of us fully to grasp the importance of the great step that has been taken. Muchstudy and many readjustments, together with the lapseof time, will be required to complete this unification andto realize the great possibilities of Rush Medical Schoolof the University of Chicago. But the essential elementsare there, chief of which are the high scholastic ideals12THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINE 13of a great University, the fine tradition and achievementof a School which next year completes a century of service, and faculties whose qualifications are recognizedthroughout the nation.Perhaps you will bear with me while I outlinebriefly the steps which have led to the present situation,the events not of three long years, but of twelve longyears. !In 1924, Rush Medical College, previously only affiliated, became one of the schools and an integral partof the University of Chicago. On repeated occasionsduring these twelve years it seemed that a satisfactoryformula had been found, but each time some seriousfault appeared. I recall a remark of President Masonmade after weeks of friendly but fruitless conference, tothe effect that he was confident that there must be a satisfactory formula if we could but find it.In addition to the intricacies inherent in the problem itself, negotiations and adjustments were often interrupted by changes of administration. From 1924 to thepresent time there have been five Presidents and ActingPresidents of the University and four Presidents of theBoard of Managers of the Presbyterian Hospital, fourDirectors of Clinics at the University, not to mentionsundry changes of Deans at the University. Nearly everyyear saw some change in administration, involving a restatement of facts and points of view, in order that attempts at progress toward a satisfactory settlement ofour difficulties might go on.It is little wonder that, in; the words of PresidentHutchins, the question came to be known at the University as the "Rush Problem" and at Rush as the "University Problem."Viewing these years of effort in retrospect it seemsevident that one and perhaps the greatest difficulty layin the original conception of the medical activities ofthe University as comprising two schools, and in theassumption that the West Side school would be a RushPostgraduate School. The report in 1931 of the President's Committee, under the chairmanship of DeanScammon, on the feasibility and desirability of postgraduate work in a separate school, effectively disposed ofmany illusions as to the quality of postgraduate workcarried on in some other schools. The Committee unanimously advised against such type of work as not of agrade worthy of the University of Chicago. The alternative was the continuation of two undergraduate medicalschools, although this was recognized by everyone as second choice, and a temporary expedient.It was only after the concept of one school wassubstituted for that of two schools that further progressbecame possible. Another decision, necessary to thesolution of the problem, concerned the Presbyterian Hospital. The Board of Managers gave long and carefulconsideration to the question as to whether the Hospitalwould move to the Midway, or would continue the development of its plant on the present site. The decisionof last month to remain on the West Side was a largefactor in determining the continuation of University activity on the West Side.The resolutions of the Board of Trustees now provide for one school with the name of Rush, with unifiedadministration, progressive reduction in number of stu- Doctor Ironsdents, and increased emphasis on advanced professionalstudy, with the possible exclusion, after a period of years,of undergraduate instruction on the West Side.President Hutchins has repeatedly made this point,and stated that he did so in order that in the event theUniversity should find it desirable in future years tocease undergraduate teaching on the West Side, it couldnot be said that he had not mentioned the possibility.While it seems wiser to many of us to combineundergraduate teaching with a postgraduate program, itis equally clear that it is entirely within the proper province of the Trustees to develop the several departmentsof the University as they believe in the best interestof education. Medical education is not static, and itis even conceivable that the University in years to comemight find it in the best interest of medical educationto emphasize advanced professional training on theMidway.We must recognize that it is beyond the power ofanyone to predict what changes may come in education.For the present it is obvious that undergraduate instruction will continue on the West Side, but we hope thatadditional funds may soon be available so that the number of students may be materially reduced.I would further point out that the development ofadvanced professional training in which we are all deeplyinterested as a part of the activity of the one* medicalschool of the University, is entirely different in its implications from the proposal of years ago for the creationof two schools, one of which, Rush, should be devotedonly to postgraduate teaching at a distance from theUniversity.The statement of the President that the Universitywill maintain work in the West Side portion of its oneschool on a plane worthy of the University and of Rush,is assurance of the active interest of the University.It is my opinion that the University will find ithighly desirable, both educationally and financially, tocontinue for a number of years undergraduate with graduate instruction on the West Side. In no other way willfull advantage be taken of facilities, including 800 to 1 ,000beds and their upkeep, which only could be replaced14 THE UNIVERSITY OF C IT I C A G O MAGAZINEby funds amounting to over $20,000,000.00, and of professional service not purchasable at any price.A modest program of advanced medical training hasalready been in operation in Rush for over ten years inseveral of the departments, offered to qualified graduatesin medicine who are willing to devote from one to threeyears in preparing themselves for the practice of a specialty. In a less formal, but often more effective waywe have carried on advanced training of graduates, byresidencies and assistantships— -making them a part ofthe team, in the care of patients and in some teaching,at the same time affording them facilities and directionfor the prosecution of research. This kind of traininghas developed a number of promising men, some of whomare still with us, both on the West and South Side, andothers of whom have gone to head departments in Medical Schools of other Universities.It is this kind of advanced medical training of aquality worthy of the University of Chicago and the Rushname which I hope may be continued, and amplified onthe West Side.One of the important actions provided for in theresolutions of the Trustees concerns unification of administration. While this of necessity must follow ratherthan precede the resolution providing for union, it isin no sense secondary in importance. With unity ofadministration, union in theory becomes union in fact.To delay this step would jeopardize the success of theentire plan. On recommendation of the President, theTrustees of the University have appointed as of July 1,1936, Dr. Emmett B. Bay as Associate Dean of theDivision of Biological Sciences who will devote his timeto administration of Rush on the West Side and to theworking out of details whereby the work done previouslyby two schools will be combined in one. I bespeakyour wholehearted cooperation with Dr. Bay in his difficult undertaking of co-ordinating the work on the WestSide with that on the Midway.But administrative unity alone will not carry out theintent of this union of the Medical Schools of the University. For many years we have carried on our workon the West Side in spite of the lack of adequate laboratories, beds and funds. Each year the deficienciesin facilities have become more strikingly acute, as otherschools with larger funds have added to their equipment.The Presbyterian Hospital has delayed building changesand improvements until a decision could be reached as totheir plans, and those of Rush. Rush was estopped fromobtaining funds because no one could be expected to givefunds to an institution without a policy or program.It is now possible to proceed to make plans for therehabilitation of the College plant and the obtaining ofendowment for support of research and teaching. Thisunion is of so recent accomplishment that there has beenno formal consideration of specific plans. Whatever maybe the details determined upon, improvements in plant,funds for fellowships and assistants, for salaries, and forthe establishments of laboratories in physiology, physio logic chemistry, bacteriology, and pathology are urgentlyneeded. These laboratories should be inter-departmentalin relationship so that they can serve any departmentwhich has a problem requiring special facilities for study.Additional space will be necessary and can be obtained by adding two floors to the Rawson Building. Anestimate (again tentative) of funds necessary calls foran expenditure of $200,000 for construction, and endowment of $3,000,000 for maintenance of budget withstudents reduced to 50% of the present number. Thereshould be available 200 clinical beds in the PresbyterianHospital, allocated among departments. Not all of thisprogram can be realized at once, but a substantial beginning should be made within the year if possible.This decision will give added impetus to the WestSide Park District, the original idea of which waslaunched at the dedication of the Rawson Building in1924. This plan was based upon the general proposition that if we can not move the hospitals grouped inthis area into a park, we can put a park around thehospitals. A small beginning has already been made bythe removal of some, of the decrepit buildings and thecreation of open spaces. This compact district containsmore hospital beds and medical activities than aregrouped together anywhere else in the world, and thecreation of a park around the district has a great publicappeal.The Rush CentennialRush Medical College was chartered by the Stateof Illinois on March 2, 1837. Next year we hope .tocelebrate the one hundredth anniversary of the grantingof this charter. The Rush Alumni Association thisafternoonf appointed a Committee under the Chairmanship of Dr. Herbst to cooperate with other Committeesin making plans for this celebration. We shall commemorate two events separated in time by one hundredyears, the founding of Rush and the completion of itsunion with the University of Chicago in one school. Thiscelebration can be made the occasion of an announcement of the program for Rush Medical School: and anappeal for funds to carry it out. We have reason tohope that the Boards of the University, the Hospitaland the Dispensary will join in such a plan.The medical activities of the University are nowunited in one school and the name of that school is Rush.The fine traditions of a century are perpetuated andfirmly united with the high ideals of a great University.This should satisfy the fondest hopes of us all.I cannot close without attempting to express inwords that I know are inadequate my affection and admiration for the Rush Faculty. No administrative officer ever had more loyal support. It is my hope thatwe may work on together in the ranks under the newadministration and that the coming centennial year maymark the beginning of another century of service tomedical education and humanity.THE UNIVERSITY OfNAUGHTY-ONE ASSEMBLESON Friday evening, June 12, a group of fourteen metfor dinner at the Quadrangle Club to celebrate thethirty-fifth anniversary of the graduation of the Class of1901. Thirteen sent greetings by letter or telegram, sothat in spirit, at least, we numbered twenty-seven.After the excellent dinner, in the absence of thepresident, Arthur Bestor, Herbert P. Zimmermann tookcharge and directed in his genial manner an informalinterchange of personal reminiscences. Although DonaldRichberg, the Class Musician, could not come to lead thesinging, we bravely tackled the Class Song, "We Are theClass of Naughty-One," and before the evening was overrendered the refrain with spirit and volume. The program was in the hands of the members and each one contributed his part wholeheartedly to make the evening asuccess.Those present were Alma Yondorf Hirschberg, Dr.and Mrs. Alfred Lewy (Minnie Barnard), C. A. McCarthy, Dr. Adolph C. Noe, Helen Carmody Smith,Dr. and Mrs. Kellogg Speed, Dr. and Mrs. R. M.Strong (Ethel Freeman), Mr. and Mrs. Herbert Weston,Herbert P. Zimmermann, and Marian Fairman.Letters and telegrams were read from ArthurBestor, Eliot Blackwelder, Josephine Burnham, EmilyCanfield, Grace Manning Downing, Francis G. Guittard,Donald S. McWilliams, Mary D. Miles, Donald Richberg, Fred Sass, Grace Sealey Smith, Leroy T. Vernonand Alia Webb.These greetings were much enjoyed, especially thepersonal histories, and it is hoped that all members ofthe class who have not done so, will send in some accountof their activities since graduation as promptly as possible. Our goal is a real Class History and it cannot bereached without the cooperation of all. Please sendall material to Marian Freeman, the Class Secretary,either at her home address, 4744 Kenwood Avenue, Chicago, or in care of the Alumni Office.After a rising vote of thanks to the Secretary forarranging the dinner, the Class adjourned to meet againin 1941.SILVER JUBILEE REUNION OFEE-O-LEV-ENBEYOND peradventure of doubt, the Twenty-fifth orSilver Jubilee Reunion of the 1911 Class providedthe greatest entertainment for four days beginning June11th that any Alumni Class of this University has everoffered its members, and more than two hundred of. themand their wives or husbands took advantage of it. Ofthese, fifty-three were from outside the Chicago area.Nineteen hundred and eleven is probably the firstclass to provide hotel accommodations for the period ofits Reunion and nearly fifty persons at the Chicago BeachHotel took advantage of the opportunity for a "mass"house party for the Class. Miss Sylvia A. Miller ofRainier, Washington, took the class prize for greatest dis- CHICAGO MAGAZINE 15tance traveled, with Glenn Stibbs of San Francisco as aclose second.Seventy-two men enjoyed a luxurious "stag" dinnerThursday night, June 11th at the Hotel Sherman, with"Teddy" Linn as the chief, but not the only speaker of tivtevening. Paul H. Davis presided. At the same timenearby half as many '11 women dined in Ida Noyes Hallon the Midway. Lively exchanges of telegrams kept bothgroups in long distance contact. At the men's dinner,Class President Vallee O. Appel performed the unusualfeat, from the inside of the "C"-shaped table, of namingevery man present, his home town, and giving a few sentences about his business, family, and the like. Severalof those present lie had not seen for twenty-five years.A class dinner at Judson Court banquet hall Fridayevening was attended by one hundred and thirty-fourpersons and lasted till 10 P. M. Miss Ethel Kawin wasin charge, but Val Appel presided in collegiate style, calling on the many notables present for brief, speeches. Indiscussing a proposed Reunion gift by the class to theUniversity on a report by Moses Levitan, chairman ofthe gift committee, it was finally voted to recommendthat the- class endeavor to procure specimens of the artwork of its classmate, Cyrus LeRoy Baldridge, notedartist and illustrator, for presentation to the University.John Mason "Red" Houghland of Nashville, Tennessee,made the suggestion, which had especial interest becauseFisk University in his home town owns the entire collection of Baldridge's African sketches, purchased forand presented to it in 1931 by Samuel Insull.Following this dinner an impromptu reunion at theChicago Beach Hotel, attended by forty-two classmates,was sponsored by the six living Phi Gamma Deltas whowere initiated together in January, 1908, and who metagain for the first time since June, 1909. The six included William C. Gahrmann of. Davenport ; Charles L.Sullivan, Jr., of Dayton, Ohio; Karl Keefer, Dr. GerardN. Krost, Herbert A. Kellar and Hargrave A. Long, allof Chicago. It is rumored on good authority that thisparty broke up at dawn.Saturday the bright badges of EE-O-LEV-ENglittered all over the campus, and a vociferous groupnearly stampeded the afternoon alumni conferences withshout and song whenever any of their classmates werecalled on. As Reunion Chairman "Ev." Robinson, RoyBaldridge, and Nat Peffer of New York and GeorgeEdgar Vincent (honorary), all of Tl, constituted four-sixths of the speakers, the '11 din was raucous.Preceding the Sing, nearly one hundred and fiftymembers of the class were guests of Dr. and Mrs. CharlesW. Gilkey in their home and grounds at a buffet supperwhich afforded ample opportunity for reunion fellowship.Following the Sing, where 1911 enjoyed reservedseats by virtue of the influence of its classmate, NedEarle, its general director, the reunioners sped to theChicago Beach Hotel for an "After-the-Sing" supper,attended by over one hundred and sixty. For that occasion was reproduced and parodied the program of afarewell dinner given by the '11 Class to the then Deanand then-and-now Mrs. George E. Vincent, on the occasion of their departure for Minnesota. The printed program reproduced at the left, the program of March 4,16 THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINE1911, and on the right its paraphrase of June 13, 1936.Professor and Mrs. Linn and Miss Marion Talbot werespecial guests of the class on this occasion, and all threespoke. Miss Talbot's "confession" that the 1911 Classhad completely refuted her long-held belief that underthe University "system" no class could develop "classspirit" brought special cheers. Ralph Lidster and Dr.Ralph Kuhns managed the party, and Val Appel servedas toastmaster."Teddy" Linn paid deserved compliment to "Ev."Robinson by telling several stories of his efficiency andpep during college days, especially in connection with the1910 journalism course in which "Ev." became managingeditor of the Aurora "Beacon." "Teddy" also gave hiseulogistic vocabulary a terrific workout in complimentingVal Appel, and reached his rhetorical climax in nominating, as the prospective third party candidates for theNovember elections a ticket headed by Val Appel forpresident, and Robert M. Hutchins for vice president.To save the nation the expense of an election this fall,the ticket so nominated was unanimously elected !After the supper, another group of the Reunionersmet in the Class headquarters for a midnight party,about thirty-five being present. The "convivium," likethat of Friday evening, afforded full opportunity forreminiscences of college experiences and renewal offriendships.On Sunday the Reunioners were guests of ClassPresident and Mrs. Vallee O. Appel and Class ReunionChairman and Mrs. Paul H. Davis at their respectivehomes in Highland Park and Kenilworth, nearly onehundred and fifty persons attending.The committees in charge of the 1911 Reunion included Paul H. Davis, 1911 Reunion Chairman; ValleeO. Appel, Class President; Mrs. Geraldine Brown Gilkey, Mrs. Margaret Hackett Sears, Milton E. Robinson,Jr., University Reunion Chairman; J. Arthur Miller,Treasurer; Hargrave A. Long, Publicity; S. EdwinEarle, University Sing; and Miss Ethel Kawin, MissMay J. Carey, Dr. Ralph H. Kuhns, Moses Levitan,R. Boynton Rogers, Ralph E. Lidster, and Alfred Heck-man Straube in charge of various special events.Greetings or regrets were received from nearly onehundred absentees from as widely separated members asMajor Norman L. Baldwin, U. S. Signal Corps, FortMills, Philippine Islands, and Edward B. Hall, Jr., inParis, France.The presence of eleven sons and daughters of members, most of whom are students at the University,proved a pleasant surprise at the Class Dinner Fridayevening.The advance publicity for the 1911 reunion surpassed all previous efforts in quantity and novelty, andan illustrated "broadside' of sixteen pages which reachedthe members on the Monday of Reunion week was especially effective in bringing out the unusually largeattendance that featured 191 l's greatest Reunion.The fund collected for Reunion expense was so generously ample that over $300 remains for the publicationand mailing to members of a "Reunion Souvenir" whichwill be a permanent reminder of 191 l's Silver Jubilee.During its many reunions the 1911 Class had elected several honorary members, their latest acquisition beingCharlton T. Beck, alumni secretary of the University.His predecessors in the category include Dr. and Mrs,George Edgar Vincent, Dr. Harry Pratt Judson, AlvinFrederick Kramer, George Raymond Schaeffer, JohnElmer Thomas and Harry Roland Swanson. All ofthem who are living attended at least one event of theSilver Jubilee, excepting Mrs. Vincent and "Ray"Schaeffer, who were out of town. Mr. Thomas flewfrom New York to attend the men's dinner.DOCTORS OF PHILOSOPHY MEETThe thirty-first annual meeting of the Association ofDoctors of Philosophy was held on Saturday, June 13,1936, in Burton Court. There were seventy-two persons present, of whom twenty-one were new Doctorswho had received their degrees since the previous JuneConvocation. The secretary reported that one hundredand seventy new Doctors had received degrees sinceJune, 1935, making a total of 3,560 Ph.D's granted bythe University since its founding. Of those, 195 areknown to have died. Acting President Redfield welcomed the new members into the Association and Vice-President Woodward extended the words of greetingof the University to the Association.The chief address was an interesting talk by Professor E. S. Ames on the topic, "What a Ph.D. ThinksAbout." The newly elected officers of the Associationare as follows :President — A. Eustace Haydon.Vice-President — Harvey B. Lemon.Secretary — Herbert Blumer.Assistant Secretary — Harold A. Swenson.Councillor — Robert V. Merrill.DOUGLAS ADDRESSES LAW MENThe Annual Dinner of the Law School Associationon June 16, 1936, brought out the third largest attendanceon record — 234, under the chairmanship of Horace A.Young, with Leo Arnstein in charge of ticket sales.The guest of honor and speaker was Hon. James H.Douglas, Jr., formerly Assistant Secretary of the Treasury under both President Hoover and President Roosevelt, who discussed the question, "What is the AmericanSystem?" He answered it principally by an analysis ofthe Supreme Court decisions in the Guffey Coal, theAAA, and New York Minimum Wage Law cases.As Mr. Douglas is a Trustee of the University, a.special invitation was extended to the entire Board ofTrustees, many of whom attended. Harold H. Swift,President of the Board, was at the speaker's table. JohnR. Montgomery, Jr., President of the Law School Association, presided.The Class of 1911 celebrated its twenty-fifth anniversary by an attendance of eight, as follows : Grant C.Armstrong, Pontiac, Illinois ; George T.

Column, Ph.D., '14, Racine Wis.Comments from Registrants at the Alumni SchooUNABRIDGED NEWSIN the sub-basement of Harper Library some 5,500bound volumes of newspapers occupy over three anda half miles of book shelving. These files, many ofthem generations old, contain valuable source material.Yet, the space occupied by these huge volumes wouldprovide room for 155,200 ordinary size books — nearlya seventh of the present number of volumes in this, thelargest university library west of the Alleghenies. Withthese huge volumes increasing yearly which, with thethousands of other annual acquisitions, make it necessaryfor this department to "burrow farther and farther underother University buildings" (as Director Raney vividlydescribes it), a housing problem has developed secondonly to Mr. Roosevelt's national predicament (we'vefcrgot the President's letter combination for thisemergency ! )In the meantime comes filmland's 1936 edition of"A Birth of a Notion." Before the year is ended science expects to have an almost indestructible film whicheven Amos and Andy's product will not remove. Onemethod now being developed by which they expect toaccomplish this end involves placing the film — upon whichthe images have been photographed — in a chamber fromwhich the air can be removed, thus drawing out all moisture. A chemical vapor is then introduced which replacesthe moisture in the film and a second chemical treatmentseals the surface, which makes the film) practically impervious to scratches while still preserving the elasticityof the film.In the meantime Director of Libraries M. LlewellynRaney, is working with manufacturers upon a cameraand a projector which will complete the equipment forthe plan he has to conserve as much as 98% of his shelving space in sections where this method is practical.When the equipment is complete (late this fall or earlyin 1937), the procedure will be about as follows:A bound newspaper volume will be placed on acradle under a suspended camera containing a reel of35mm film. The cradle will be so constructed that bothexposed pages of the newspaper will remain in focus atall times. The camera will shuttle back and forth abovethe cradle as fast as a picture of each page can be snappedand the pages turned. Eight pages can be taken on onefoot of film, which makes the film cost about J4c perpage, including developing.After the film processing (described above) is complete, positives will be made from the negative and thenegative film placed in air-conditioned storage, to be usedonly as a master copy for additional positives in thefuture. The positives are also treated for permanency,after which they are ready for the research student.The projector for this film will be so constructedthat very little heat reaches the film, even if the film REELSBy HOWARD W. MORT, Editor, Tower Topicsremains stationary for hours under the light. The film,of course, will be made of fire-proof, heat-resisting material. The heat from the projector will be dispersedby a system of water cells or highly efficient ventilation.The image will be thrown on an opaque or translucent (depending upon the position of the lamp) screenwhich rests on the table like a slanting book before thereader. This reproducing equipment need be no largerthan a portable typewriter case and the newspaper printcan be restored to its natural size for reading or largerif desired.This proposed method will permit the same amountof printed material to be stored in two per cent of thespace now necessary, which, in the case of our presentthree-and-a-half-mile newspaper bookshelf, would makeroom for some 1 52,000 more books of ordinary size.'An additional advantage, Dr. Raney points out, isthat an instructor or student wishing to carry on researchin some-out-of-the-way place or at some small collegewhere material is limited could take enough material inan ordinary suitcase or steamer trunk to do his workwithout direct access to a large library.We will not be satisfied, now that you have progressed this far, Dr. Raney, until you have added a soundtrack which will make it possible for us to actually hear,from his own lips, what Napoleon said in his statementto the press and the news camermen when he set sail forthat lonely island in the Atlantic. It probably wasn't fitto print, since we do not remember having ever read hisstatement in any history.While no one was looking the other morning, menfrom Buildings and Grounds Department tore upa part of the cement walk which rounded the corner at the south end of Cobb and changed thechannel of traffic which will, hereafter, flow overa more artistic flagstone walk at more astheticangles.THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINE 19Director John A.

Now there is an inter-departmental twilight league withteams from six departments.Overshadowins the All-Star BaseballGame in Bostonwas the game played on Dudley Field Friday evening,July 10, at 5:15 between the Oriental Institute and theBursar's Office. It came about in this fashion:Director John A. Wilson (Oriental Institute) addressed the Bursar's Office in part as follows : "Theworld has long and rightly signalized the competence ofthe Bursar's Office in matters financial. However, itdoes not necessarily follow that the Bursar's Office hasthe same competence in other fields. . . It is well knownand universally recognized in such circles .as Istanbul,Baghdad, and Tell el-Mutesellim that the Oriental Institute has one of the best baseball teams ever seen inthose parts. . .

We believethat we can beat you, without taking off our coats, playing left-handed, and with one hand tied behind our back."The Bursar's Office retort courteous was, in part :"The brave words of your papyrus are amusing andexhale the spirit of your Sargon's scion of the Durhamdynasty. From the very nature of the Institute's workyour staff members must be adept at whistling in thecemetery.

It was built to house visitors to the Columbian Exposition.When the fair was postponed one year, the Beatricemanagement leased this new, modern (then) buildingto the University. It was here, under the guiding influence of Miss Talbot, that the girls took a definiteand public stand against the use of "co-ed" when referring to University Women. The word has been tabooat Chicago since that time. Through these same corridors frequently rang the unofficial chant:"Beatrice !Be-at-ricePud-ding ! Pud-ding !Be-at-rice !"which may or may not give us an insight into certaindessert items on those '92 menus.On April 15, 1893, the Beatrice was vacated bythe young women to make room for the more lucrativeworld's fair trade. The University women moved toSnell Hall, on the quadrangles, a much handier placefor the nocturnal serenades frequently staged by the men.In fact, they gleefully pointed out that this building, onlyfour stories high and unprotected on all sides (therewas no Hitchcock Hall in those days), offered muchgreater opportunities for displaying their vocal talents,although they admitted that, from, a lyrical standpoint,the name Snell was not so euphonious as had beenBeatrice and less appropriate for the name of a women'shall.Otto Premm suggests . . . .a time saving summer treatSwift's Premium HamDelicatessen StyleSwift's Premium Ham ready-to-serve!

MILLETT, PhD'3 1 , Associate Professor of EnglishFOR the academic American, domiciled with hiskind in the genteel purlieus of Bloomsbury, thereare few more agreeable experiences than strollingdown the long, slow curve of Shaftesbury Avenue in apearly English twilight, depositing his three and six atthe pit-window, and arriving without exertion at hisseat at the back of a comfortable auditorium as the curtain makes its leisurely but ever thrilling ascent. Andeven when he makes his way home through the naughtiness of Charing Cross Road, past the reeking fish-stallsin the side-streets, past the trucks bearing heaps ofspring flowers to Covent Garden' Market, the mildnessof the midnight air and the allurements of the dim Dick-ensian streets lull his stirring critical senses. Going tothe theater in London is so much less exhausting, somuch more casual an experience than going to the theaterin New York or Paris that it is long before one realizesthat the advantages of accessibility and a low price-rangeare offset by the essential mediocrity of the current English drama.But the moment finally arrives, as the books of one'stheatrical adventures are balanced, when one is forcedto admit that, though the London theater is one of theliveliest of British institutions, the contemporary dramais intellectually and aesthetically moribund. English acting is more than tolerably good, though hardly brilliant ;English stagecraft is not more than twenty years behindthe times, but English playwriting is almost a lost art.It would be interesting to speculate as to the reasonsfor this condition, but the specific details press for attention.From the frank commercialism of Emlyn Williams'Night Must Fall to T. S. Eliot's austere poetic drama,Murder in the Cathedral, a wide range of aesthetic meritis thickly studded with mediocrities. Williams' play isa not too pretentious study of the psychology of a youngmurderer, and, although the author was certainly ill-advised in giving away his secret at the play's beginning, the illustration of the facets of the murderer's personality is absorbing, and the suspense of the climax isstirring. The "psychology" of the piece, however, isalmost completely spurious, and the total effect, thoughengrossing, can hardly be taken seriously. Of not muchmore importance is the sequence of nine one-act plays,which, in combinations of three, Noel Coward and Gertrude Lawrence are offering to their rapt admirers.Coward's plays are compact of ingenuities, and MissLawrence's charm is still compelling, but Mr. Coward'sinability to act more than one part, that of his unalluringself, limits decidedly' the range of appeal of these performances. Moreover, since most of the plays are notone-acts, but series of brief scenes over-punctuated withintermissions, they do not add much to Coward's reputation as the most gifted playboy on the current Englishstage.Wilfrid Grantham's Mary Tudor, a rather tediouscostume-piece, carried to a certain popularity by Flora Fred B. MillettRobson's intelligent impersonation, isnot so significant in itselfas it is symptomatic of thetendency ofpost-war playwrights to fallback on history or literature when invention fails.Plays basedon the lives ofParnell, LordNelson, andByron haverecently beenmade available to interested customers, and every rising playwright seems tohave a play on the Brontes waiting for production. A.A. Milne's dramatization of Jane Austen's Pride andPrejudice was completed just too late to compete withthe enormously popular dramatization by the American,Helen Jerome. A further illustration of the dependenceof the current drama on literature rather than life isClemencej Dane's version of Max Beerbohm's sophisticated fairy-tale, The Happy Hypocrite. To spin a fulllength play out of such silken stuff demanded tact andimagination, and perhaps the best that can be said ofthe result is that it never betrayed the initial author'sintention, though the meagerness of the material droveMiss Dane to the use of a rather trying supernaturalframework and a somewhat extraneous ballet. Pic-torially, the melange was delectable, and Ivor Novello,best known in America as the author of "Keep the HomeFires Burning," gave a brilliant performance as the loathsome Regency rake, Sir George Hell. Even the mostpromising of the emergent English playwrights, JamesBridie, was currently represented, not by a creation ofhis own, but by an ingenious Gaelicization of BrunoFrank's Storm in a Teacup. The result is excellentfarce-comedy, admirably directed by the old Abbey Theater actor-dirtcor, W. G. Fay, and completely dominatedby the hearty humors of the great Irish actress, SaraAllgood.By all odds, the most considerable play by a contemporary British playwright was T. S. Eliot's Murderin the Cathedral, which had a run of twenty-three weeksat the tiny Mercury Theater. Mr. Eliot's position asthe second greatest living English poet, and the greatest living English critic, necessitates the closest attentionto his attempt to revive the poetic drama. In this particular piece, the poetry is distinctly superior to the2122 T IT E UNI V ER S I T Y O F C II I C A G O M A G A Z I N Edrama. In fact, there is little or no action in the play,though the frequent passages of superb poetry are madeextremely impressive by Robert Speight's beautiful elocution and the harmoniously voiced chorus of women.For many of Mr. Eliot's auditors,, however, the theological quibbling to which much of the play is devotedwill seem anachronistic, to say the least, and the humorous-satirical passages, diverting enough in themselves,remain essentially inorganic.The London theater's connection with the dramathat is literature would be slight indeed, were it not forthe contributions of plays by foreign authors. Of thesecontributions, the most exotic was S. I. Hsiung's LadyPrecious Stream, a masterpiece of calculated cuteness,just concluding a two years' run. This pseudo-Chinesedrama was shrewdly designed to convince its provincialauditors of the unendingly humorous absurdity of Orientals. Only slightly less exotic was the Dublin GateTheater company's production of that nostalgic period-piece, Eugene O'Neill's Ah Wilderness. It says not alittle for the taste of British audiences that even a badperformance of this inconsequential O'Neill play achieveda popularity beyond that won by any of his seriousplays on the English stage. Of greater importance wasthe revival of a series of Ibsen's plays, carefully produced and assiduously attended. Of these, only one,The Master Builder, was still visible when I reachedLondon, and this play, the most bewildering and intellectually provocative of the later plays, was not too successfully interpreted. D. A. Clarke-Smith's performance as Solness was technically expert, but the lovelyLydia Lopokova was not too well advised in her desertion of the art of dancing for the art of acting. OnlyMarjorie Gabain as Mrs. Solness seemed to have theremotest notion of what the play might mean. But despite the producer's or the actors' failure in insight, theplay was something one could set his teeth in. Ibsenwas further represented by a production of the completetext of Peer Gynt by the incredibly courageous companyat the Old Vic. The presentation of the whole playbrought to light superb scenes that the Theater Guild'sproduction blithely ignored, but it also gave one a number of scenes in the middle range of the play that onecould very easily get along without. But the greatpoetio drama, despite its weaknesses, went a long wayin justifying the Old Vic's audacity. The most frequented offering from the Continental drama was Komis-arshevsky's production of Tchekoff's The Sea Gull. Lessskilfully harmonized than Jed Harris' matchless production of Uncle Vanya and completely misinterpreted inone or two major parts, this performance was the mostrewarding of the modern plays on view. John Gielgud,as the popular commercial novelist Trigorin, repressedhis personality to the point of invisibility, but EdithEvans caught all the hardness and a little of the softness of the ageing actress Arkadina. It was youngPeggy Ashcroft, however, who, as Nina, ran off withthe play in her fourth-act climax scene. The result wasa distortion of Tchekoff's subtle harmonies, but it wasextremely moving.One is forced to conclude that the most importantcontemporary British playwright is an author called William Shakespeare. Not only do quasi-official organizations like the Old Vic and the Stratford MemorialTheater find most or all of their repertory in his works,but commercial producers achieve their most brilliant results with his plays. One of the most notable events ofthe last season was the production of Romeo and Juliet,directed by John Gielgud and adorned by such personages as Gielgud himself, Edith Evans, and Peggy Ashcroft. If this production fell a little short of perfection,it had many excellencies to commend it. Motley'ssumptuous costumes made up perhaps for the doubtfulsuccess of their experimentation with sets. Of the majorparticipants, Edith Evans as the Nurse could hardly bebettered ; she read the earthy lines with immense gusto,and devised exceedingly interesting business, especiallyin the long prelude to the discovery of Juliet's death.Peggy Ashcroft's bouncing adolescent Juliet was charming and touching but never truly tragic. Moreover, thespirited animation of her performance was somewhat outof key with the intense romanticism of Gielgud' s skillfulif not supreme Romeo. Though the Old Vic's productions of Shakespeare lack pictorial brilliance, they can bedepended on to be competent and intelligent. In theirhands, the rarely visible Winter s Tale became surprisingly credible : the pastoral scenes were as bewitching asShakespeare's verse, and the statue's coming to lifeturned out to be not only good theater but good drama.The piece's greatest handicap was young William Devlin's melodramatic interpretation of the impossible character of Leontes. This rising star came off very muchbetter, not only in the interminable role of Peer Gynt,but in the infinitely exacting part of Lear. On the whole,the production followed conventional lines, though Devlin's resourceful and gripping performance went a considerable distance in allaying the suspicion that here was aclever youngster disguised as Foxy Grandpa. The performance of Lear at Stratford under Komisarshevsky's direction was on a far loftier imaginative plane. Its spectacular qualities depended entirely on the rich plain colors in the costumes and the lighting and grouping of thecharacters on an elaborate flight of steps. Randle Ayr-ton's Lear was convincingly aged, and his long experience stood him in good stead even in the exacting heathscenes where Lear alone must dominate the scattered action and the thunders of heaven.But the most fascinating production of those I witnessed was Troilus and Cressida, in the hands of B. IdenPayne, the Memorial Theater's new director. Staged onan adaptation of the Elizabethan theater, and in the costumes of the period, the play proved more engrossingthan any Shakespeare performance I have ever seen. Ithad all the freshness of a newly discovered play by theworld's greatest dramatist. The play persists in beingchallengingly problematical but, despite its shockingly unsatisfactory conclusion, the play in performance becomesrichly rewarding, not merely because of its cynical reading of Troy's great story, but because of the revelationof the romantic idealism of Troilus and the meretricious-ness of Cressida against the background of the magnificent comic creations of Thersites and Pandarus, therichly intellectual worldliness of Ulysses, the movie-hero(Continued on Page 28)NEWS OF THE QUADRANGLESDEALING with millionths of a volt, hundred-mil-lionths of an inch, and trillionths of an ounce,University of Chicago research scientists areworking with a precision that would make a watchmaker's tactics seem like the maneuvers of a bull in a china-shop.Latest of a long line of precision instruments developed at the Midway is an apparatus believed to be themost sensitive "weight scale" in existence. It is capableof detecting differences in weight of as little as 4/1,000,-000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 of a gram.Space measurements held to be more delicate thanany previously achieved, involving distances as small as1/100,000,000 of an inch, have been in progress at theUniversity for several years. Other superexact devicesat the Midway include an engine which will rule as manyas seventy-five thousand exactly parallel lines to an inch,a galvanometer which will detect the presence of a quarter of a millionth of a volt, and microphotographic apparatus by which it is possible to take pictures of livingcells enlarged thirty thousand diameters.The hypersensitive "weighing" instrument has beendeveloped by Professor Arthur J. Dempster of thephysics department. It is a "mass spectrograph" of anew type, capable of weighing atoms, and is used inanalysis of solid substances. Using the material to beanalyzed as an electrode, Dr. Dempster produces a hotspark. Atoms from the spark are drawn through a slitand successively, in a three-quarter circle arc, through anelectrical field and a magnetic field and onto aphotographic plate.Bending of the pathsof the atoms by the electrical and magnetic fieldsdepends on the strengthof the fields and the velocity and weight of theatoms. The latter is interpreted from linesmade on the photographic plate. With thisequipment Dr. Dempsterhas already discovered aseries of hitherto unknown isotopes, or variant forms of elements.He has discovered thatthere are two isotopes ofsilver — "heavy silver" and "light silver," differing inweight in the ratio of 109 to 107 — five isotopes ofplatinum, and only one of gold.Delicate space measurements are made with apparatus developed by Professor Arthur H. Compton of thephysics department. Surveying the "crude" distance between layers of atoms in a crystal, a distance averagingProfessor Dempster • By JOHN P. HOWE, '271/100,000,000 of an inch, Dr. Compton and his associatesare able to measure such minute gaps as though they wereyawning chasms, accurately down to an error of one partin 500,000. The technique involves sending X-rays ricocheting between the atomic layers and measuring the"Compton effect," the change in wave-length of the raysas a result of their passage.In the opinion of Dr. Henry G. Gale, Dean of theUniversity's Physical Sciences division, these measure-Dean Galements of weight and space are the most delicate yetachieved by scientists.The ruling-engine, recently improved by Dean Gale,is used to produce the gratings which are vital to allspectrum work. The Midway engine, which operates ina constant-temperature room in Ryerson hall, producesmany of the gratings used in laboratories and astronomical observatories throughout the United States. Its diamond point can trace as many as 75,000 exactly parallellines per inch on blocks of polished speculum metal.Professor T. F. Young, chemist, is making measurements of temperature, in connection with studies onthe theory of solutions, of extreme accuracy down to oneone-millionth of a degree.The classical example of punctilious measurement isof course the determination of the speed of light by thelate A.

Wilson, gives a value revising Dr.Michelson's figure by some 14 miles, of 186,270 milesper second.Scrupulous accuracy is not limited to work in thephysical sciences. In biochemistry, for example, Dr.Fred C. Koch and his wife Dr. Elizabeth Koch, in theirwork on vitamines, employ micro-balances capable ofmeasuring one one-millionth of a gram, for differencesas little as that can affect an experiment on the diet ofmice.Dr. Edmund Jacobson, of the University's physiology department, who measures the electrical "action potentials" of nerves and muscles in his experiments on2324 THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINErelaxation and nervousness, employs a "string galvanometer" capable of detecting differences of a quarter of amillionth of a volt. Dr. Robert R. Bensley, of the anatomy department, working on the structure of living cells,Professors Koch and Gerardis able to amplify single cells 30,000 diameters photographically, for purposes of precise studies.Dr. Ralph Gerard of the physiology department usedapparatus capable of detecting the presence of one millionth of one millionth of a heat calory in demonstrating that heat is given off in the passage of a nerveimpulse. Microtomes capable of slicing tissue into sections one thousandth of a millimeter thick are in constantuse in medical and anatomical research.Even research in the "humanities" division of theUniversity involves scientific precision. Dr. ClarenceParmenter, and his associates in the Romance Languagesdepartment, are studying the physiology of speech in order to improve the teaching of foreign languages. How,for example, does a Frenchman, speaking his nativetongue, produce the inflections which American studentsfind difficult? These experimenters use the delicate photo-electric cell in their research program.DICTIONARY PUBLICATION BEGINS"I fear our Nation . . .Is in an awful situation."In this bit of doggerel, published in 1809 underthe title Pills Poetical by one Thomas G. Fessenden, occurs the first recorded use of the word "awful" in itscharacteristically American sense, as meaning "very unpleasant, disagreeable, ugly or objectionable."University of Chicago scholars, working on theirmonumental Dictionary of American English, are nowfinishing proofreading the Dictionary's first section,which will be published this month. The dictionary is ahistorical record of what Americans have done with theEnglish language in three centuries, and of new wordsand meanings they have added.What happened to "awful," which in its pristineEnglish sense means "awe-inspiring," is among thousands of examples of Americanisms in the first section,which extends from A; through BA. Mr. Fessenden'seffort is followed in the dictionary by a quotation from Lambert's Travels, published in 1810 — "Awful weather,master, your nose looks blue upon't."Another American meaning, however, the adverb"awfully," meaning "very," goes back to 1788, in the following line from Mary Dewee's Journal: "It was reallyawfully pleasing to behold the clouds."The word must have continued to annoy Americanpurists as well as English, for in 1847 Field wrote in hisDrama of Pokerville, according to the dictionary: "Wehave never visited the town of Madison, Indiana, but wehave an 'awful' curiosity to do so, from the 'awful' factthat we have never heard the place mentioned without the'awful' accompaniment of this adjective ! Madison is an'awful place for revivals,' and 'awful place for Mesmerism,' an 'awful place for Mrs. Nichols' poems,' an'awful place for politics' . . ."The Dictionary has been in preparation at the University for ten years, under the direction of Sir WilliamCraigie, eminent lexicographer. It is not a glossary of"slang" but a record of words invented by Americans,and of American usages, which have become a naturalpart of the written language. The first section will consist of 128 double-column pages. Twenty to twenty-fivemore sections will appear within five years. More thanfive hundred quotations, from some three thousand American sources, are used to illustrate Americanisms.The much-reviled word, "ain't," is found to havebeen used in England in 1778 a year before its appearance in America. The Oxford dictionary records the useof its shorter form, "an't," in England in 1706, whilethe Chicago dictionary finds no record of it in Americaprior to 1723."Back" has been coupled with many words to formdistinctive American usages. "Backwoods" is an Americanism which the dictionary traces to the Virginia StatePapers for 1742. "Back track" goes back to 1724. "Backcountry," meaning the undeveloped land at the rear ofpeopled country, is found first in a letter of GeprgeWashington dated 1755.Other made-in- America phrases starting with "back"are "back taxes" (1788) ; "backing and filling" (1777) ;"back log" (1806); "back fire" (1839); "back pay"(1865); "back stretch" (1868); "back talk" (1884);and "back-stop" (1889)."Back number" is an Americanism dated at 1812,but it was first used literally, referring to earlier issuesof a periodical and it was not used figuratively, to mean"antiquated," until 1888. "Back seat," as a place of inferiority, is an Americanism which goes back to 1859."Back bone," as a figure of speech meaning strength ofcharacter, is American, first noted in 1857. "Back down"is an Americanism of 1859. The very expression "backof," as a contraction of "at the back of," is an Americanism dating to 1694, the dictionary notes.George Washington was the first to use the Englishnoun "average" as a verb, according to1 the Dictionaryproof-sheets. In a letter composed in 1769 he wrote ". . .no more than the worth of a fat wether . . . that wouldaverage the above weight." Thomas Jefferson is citedas the first to use the term "Americanism," as meaningattachment or adherence to this country, in 1797, andTHE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINE 25John Jay coined "Americanize" the same year. Jeffersonis credited with both "Anglomania" and "Anglophobia."America's contribution to the language has not beenlimited to coining such racy terms as "bogus" and"loafer" but includes thousands of words and phraseswhich sound eminently respectable. "Admission to thebar" is an Americanism which the first section dates backto 1766. "Under advisement," meaning "under consideration," is an Americanism which has been traced backto 1735. "Advance guard," "aid society," "auction sale,"and "apartment building" are other distinctively American phrases."Appreciation," as meaning an increase in value oramount (as in "appreciation of the currency") is anAmericanism dating back to 1777. "Appropriation,"meaning a sum of money set aside for a special purpose,is also American, noted first in 1761. Affiliate," meaningto associate with others, is an Americanism traced back to1852, and "assignment," in its meaning of a duty or taskassigned to one, is a comparatively recent Americanmeaning of the word, first found in 1897.More than one thousand subscriptions to the dictionary, at $50 each, had been received by July 15th.Among the first subscribers were H. L. Mencken, Rockwell Kent, James Truslow Adams, Rupert Hughes andClifford Odets.EUROPEAN PHILOSOPHER APPOINTEDDr. Rudolf Carnap, distinguished European logician,has been appointed Professor of Philosophy at the University. Dr. Carnap, now on the faculty of the GermanUniversity in Prague, will join the faculty on October 1.An outstanding scholar in the philosophy ofscience, and particularly in the logic of mathematics, Dr.Carnap is a leader of the logical-positivist school. He isone of the sixty-six scholars of world fame upon whomHarvard University will confer honorary degrees at itsTercentenary Celebration in September.Dr. Carnap took the Ph. D. degree at the Universityof Jena and taught at the University of Vienna beforeassuming his post at Prague. He is co-editor of thejournal Erkenntness, a member of the editorial board ofthe journal Philosophy of Science and a member of theorganizing committee of the "International Congress forthe Unity of Science." His best known works are twovolumes in German, The Logical Construction of theWorld and The Logical Syntax of Language. He isforty-three years old.Dr. Carnap's appointment brings the number ofUniversity scholars who will receive Harvard degrees inSeptember to four, more than any other American university. Others who will be honored at the Tercentenaryare Arthur H. Compton, physicist, Leonard Dickson,mathematician, and Werner Jaeger, scholar of Greek nowat the University of Berlin, who will join the facultyOctober 1.Appointment of George Williamson, now of the University of Oregon, as Professor of English at the University was announced also. Professor Williamson, whowill come to the Midway in the autumn, is a specialistin English literature of the seventeenth century. Appointment of Zens L. Smith as assistant professor ofmathematics was also announced. William N. Mitchell, associate professor of production control in the University's School of Business, has been named Associate Deanof the School of Business.These appointments are part of a program ofstrengthening its faculty under which the University hasadded to its staff more than thirty-five scholars above therank of instructor during the past year.ARMAGEDDONExcavation of three more "layers" of the ancientBiblical city of Megiddo, which for 2,500 years commanded the great battleground of Armageddon in Palestine, is reported by Gordon Loud, field director ofthe Megiddo expedition of the University's OrientalInstitute.Uncovering the debris of several hundred years, tothe Bronze Age beyond 1500 B. C, the Institute's diggers have come upon a "new" series of buildings andhave made striking finds of pottery, statuettes, and jewelry. Vertical cuts in the great mound have carried therecord of its continuous occupancy back to 2000 B. C. ;it was already known, through evidence from the nearbynecropolis, that the site was occupied from the middleof the third millennium before Christ to its final abandonment in 350 B. C.Controlling the pass over the Carmel ridge, inlandfrom modern Haifa, Megiddo was the scene of manygreat struggles, notably between ancient Egypt and AsiaMinor. During the World War Lord Allenby advancedthrough it to defeat the Turks on the plain of Armageddon. Successive cities have been found in the strataof the mound, some of them representing rebuildingafter destruction.One "house burial," found this year in the mound,yielded a collection of jewelry, the first found in themound. Although a cemetery adjoins the mound,this body, that of anapparently wealthywoman, was buried under a house, probablyduring the great siege ofMegiddo by ThutmoseIII, Egyptian pharaoh,in 1479 B. C.Mr. Loud, just returned from the season'swork, described the burial adornments as follows : "Across her forehead was a gold band, andin her ears were enormous gold and paste earrings ; gold rings withgold and paste beadsadorned her hair; plainsilver rings were uponher fingers ; while otherjewelry consisting of silver rings with bezels of goldmounted scarabs, beads of amethyst, crystal and paste aswell as gold-capped filigree beads with the intersticesfilled with dark blue paste were found grouped at theGordon Loud26 THE U N I V E R S I T Y O l<Burial AdornmentsA gold head-band, hair ornaments, ear-rings of bluepaste in heavy gold mountings and other jewelryfound in the grave of a wealthy Megiddo woman ofsome 3400 years ago.shoulder with a gold toggle pin. A small box uponwhich incised bone strips had been applied as decorationhad been placed behind her."The jewelry is strikingly similar to that found bySir Flinders Petrie at Geza. Mr. Loud's party foundalso a small cache of jewelry and gold foil hidden in awall of a temple. The jewelry has been divided betweenthe Palestine government and the museum of the Oriental Institute, where it will be displayed presently.Discovery in a temple of a gilded bronze figurine,suggesting the "Reseph" cult, was a surprising find,indicating that this North Syrian deity was perhaps worshipped for a time in Megiddo.Previous expeditions of the Oriental Institute hadcompletely removed the upper strata, dating from 350B. C. to 1000 B. C, and had discovered, among otherfinds, the stables in which Solomon kept the bloodedhorses which he bought from Egyptians and sold to theHittites. An ancient water system, dating back to theCanaanite kings of pre-Hebrew days, the greatest pieceof pre-Hebrew engineering yet found, with a shaft sunk120 feet into rock and a horizontal tunnel 160 feet longat its bottom, had also been revealed.Mr. Loud has been able tentatively to plot the planof the 13-acre city. Its southern section was probablyoccupied by private houses of a poorer sort, at least dur- C II I C AGO MAGAZINEing the Bronze and Early Iron periods. Larger publicbuildings appear to have been grouped near the citygates at the north. In the eastern portion a small templearea of the late-Bronze period has been found this season, with adjoining private houses of better quality.At times the city was surrounded by a fortificationwall, notably around 1700 B. C. and later in Solomon'stime. The Solomonic gate has now been exposed. Amassive building, with walls more than six feet thick,found near the gate, remains unidentified. This containsa fine altar, or shrine, and is believed to be a palace witha private shrine.The eastern temple found this year was incomplete,or destroyed, at the time of Thutmose's conquest of thecity. It was rebuilt at various times during the fifteenthto thirteenth centuries, the original foundations beingpartially employed. It consists of a single great chamber, with a broad entrance flanked by gate rooms, between which two columns support the roof of the portice."This one building alone furnishes an example ofthe many foreign influences to which ancient Palestinewas always subject," Mr. Loud reports. Figurines ofthe worship of a Syrian god; a clay "liver omen," aunique example in Palestine of an important Babylonianreligious object ; and four Egyptian statues of basalt anddiorite were found in or near the temple. "Philistineware," antedating the historical advent of the Philistinesat the beginning of the twelfth century B. C, was alsofound.An Exploration Trench at MegiddoTrenches of this type are made to locale the pointsof greatest archeological interest. The debris is carried in baskets, such as those seen in the foreground,and passed up ladders from one level to the next.TTTi'. UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINE 27DODD ON DEMOCRACYIn three great crises of American history the will ofthe majority has been defeated by minority opposition, tothe peril of the democratic form of government, William E. Dodd, American ambassador to Germany, saidin one of his lectures at the Midway this summer.Speaking on "American Struggles for Democracy,"Ambassador Dodd, who left the chairmanship of the department of history at the University to accept the diplomatic post, reiterated his plea that educators and thepress bring the facts of history before the American people so that the lessons of the past might be used to avoidfuture mistakes."Our democratic system of government is the mostdifficult in the world; but as all historians have recognized, it has produced the most amazing results in thelast one hundred and fifty years that mankind has everknown," he said. "There have been, however, threegreat struggles in our history which people need to review occasionally in order to see how Presidents havelabored and sometimes lost."When Jefferson entered office there was a greatswing toward a more complete democracy in all sectionsof the country. Every election from 1800 to 1806 increased his majorities almost to unanimity. His first reform was directed at limiting courts, Federal and State,in their vetoes of congressional and legislative acts."In spite of his having every state but two behindhim, he was defeated in 1805 by a minority vote of theSenate on the Chase impeachment case."At the same time the New England and middlestates were applying gradual abolition of slavery measures ; and the majorities of voters in all the southernstates were of the same mind. When Jefferson endeavored to apply a similar plan in 1807, a minority group ofhis own followers in the south joined opponents fromthe north and defeated him."The President said civil war would plague thecountry if slave-holders continued their minority controlin states and Congress ; and it is a sad fact that JohnMarshall and other justices of the Supreme Court morethan once afterwards did their utmost to maintain slaveryand minority government."The next great conflict reached a climax in 1861when the owners of slaves maneuvered secession ineleven states, although the majorities in all states but onewere opposed. Abraham Lincoln, elected on a minorityvote, undertook to save the Union, and the war whichfollowed cost a million lives and half the wealth of thecountry."At the most critical period of his administration,England was about to recognize the Confederacy becausethe American war had caused unemployment of a million workers."In spite of Gladstone's assurance in September1862, the British cabinet delayed action, and Lincolnsent propagandists Henry Ward Beecher, his famoussister, Harriet Beecher Stowe, and the clever RobertWalker to London to assist the minority leaders, JohnBright and Richard Cobden, in defeating majority opinion. They succeeded and Walker borrowed $250,000,000 in Germany, which saved American credit when it was atan amazingly low ebb."Strange as it may seem, European attitudes andactual assistance enabled Lincoln to win. From 1890to 1912 there was another prolonged economic struggleagainst democracy and Woodrow Wilson was electedPresident on a minority vote as Lincoln had been."When Wilson, was but half-way through his far-reaching economic reforms, the greatest war in all history broke. The President re-proclaimed the Washington neutrality ; butthe United Stateswas soon as muchendangered as England had been in1862. Wilson wasconscious of thewhole meaning o fthings and in 1917entered the war tosave democracy."All the worldread his famousscheme and most ofthe world, as inJefferson's case,agreed with him. Butin the election of1918 the Irish Democrats joined the German Republicans anddefeated the onlypossible plan forworld peace and economic co-operation ;and economic-social chaos followed a few years later."In 1933 democracy was everywhere in grave danger; and the worst economic collapse ever known fellupon the United States. President Roosevelt entered, likeJefferson, upon his difficult task. There could hardly bereal recovery without economic reform at home and international co-operation. Would he be allowed to succeed ?"NOTEDDr. Ludvig Hektoen, University of Chicago pathologist, has been named chairman of the National ResearchCouncil for the current academic year.

And whatever thestate, the most careful administration of relief based onneed alone leads, when one disaster follows another inlater months or years, to an expectation of relief andcare that at times dulls local initiative. We counter byplacing the responsibility on the community as on thefamily to aid itself to the extent of its resources, beforeoutside aid is to be drawn upon. And it works. Itworks so well that self-help locally combined with experienced staff and resources in money from the outsideresults in restoration and independence of wrecked familylife rather than further demoralization.These are just a few of the experiences of a RedCross disaster man. You can see how the inadequatetelling of them omits much of interest.

The mighty man has gone, andthe natural curiosity is what Mr. Shaughnessy andthe Maroon team will do without him. Something likethat same reaction must have been evident on the Midway when Walter Eckersall • ended his legendary fouryears. Then, however, a new miracle man in the person of Walter Steffen arose to solace the faithful andconfound the forces of brawn. On this occasion it doesnot seem that history and miracles are repeating themselves; Berwanger has no successor.Despite that fact, there need not be too much apprehension over the coming season. The report oneligibility has not yet been announced, but with normalluck Coach Shaughnessy should be able to start theseason with approximately thirty men who can be considered of conference size and usefulness. As Chicagosquads go, that is larger in numbers than the average.With no Berwanger to rely on, the responsibility willrest on the team, and it may well be that this knowledgewill make for more effective effort generally.On the tentative list of candidates are twelve returning lettermen, about half a dozen reserves who shouldmove up to varsity status, and a very encouraging groupof sophomores. Some of the sophomores are going toacquire regular positions in both the backfield and theline, and there probably will be shifting of the positionsof some of the established players.As an aid to those who need some tutoring on thecurrent situation, the losses by graduation included eight"C" men, five of whom were regulars: Berwanger andNyquist, backs; Robert Perretz, end; Gordon Petersen,center and end ; Merritt Bush, tackle. Twelve lettermencome back: Co-captains Sam Whiteside and PrescottJordan; Harmon Meigs, Elbert Thomas, ClarenceWright, Earl Sappington, William Gillerlain, all of theline, and Warren Skoning, Ned Bartlett, Robert Fitzgerald, Omar Fareed, and Fred Lehnhardt, backs.Coach Shaughnessy has been thinking of shiftingSam Whiteside from center to tackle, in which eventhis first choice for center probably would be the bigCalifornia sophomore, Dick Wheeler. Jordan will begiven help at the running guard position by anothersophomore, Theodore Fink, and by the hard workingreserve, William Bosworth, who is due to arrive thisseason. Meigs and Thomas will be used at the otherguard. On paper, at least, there seems to be plentyof tackles, particularly if Whiteside moves over. RobertJohnson, the outstanding freshman lineman, and anothersophomore Wheeler, Bob, are available for one position, with the two lettermen, Sappington and Wright, • By WILLIAM V. MORGENSTERN, '20, JD '22and the reserve of last year, Woodrow Wilson, for theother tackle.There is no great abundance of ends, where the rateof depreciation is high. Gillerlain ought to take overthe right end starting position, with Jerome Sivesind, agreen player who developed rapidly last year, and a goodsophomore, Max Hawkins, to understudy him. Bob Fitzgerald probably will be tried at left end, along withKendall Petersen, 1935 reserve, and Norman Joffee,sophomore.The general mourning over the departure of Berwanger may obscure the fact that there is an unusualsupply of backfield talent available this year. GeorgeAntonic, whose 184 pounds are considered too few forguard, may go among the quarterback candidates, butthat shift is not a necessity. In addition to Bob Shipway,who would have been a very good football player earlierin his career if he were not prevented from coming outto spring practice by his baseball, there are three sophomore candidates who look good enough to take command. These are Harvey Lawson, who kicks with eitherfoot and passes with either hand, all without confusinghimself; Bob Greenebaum, who had a couple of cousinswrho were no mean players on Chicago teams, and DavidRogers. Earlier in the year Morton Goodstein wouldhave been listed here, but there are reports current thathe will be used elsewhere in the backfield.Omar Fareed, who did some brilliant playing lastyear, will be among the three left halfbacks, the othersbeing Ned Bartlett and a sophomore, Sollie Sherman.These three, incidentally, are the fast men of the back-field, although Lawson can get around. If Goodsteindoes not find use for his 207 or more pounds as blockingquarter, he should turn up at right half, where anotherof the sophomores, JLewis Hamity, is also assigned. Warren Skoning, who has made progress each of the lasttwo seasons, ought to have a very successful year at fullback, with Fred Lehnhardt available to give him a breathing spell.Already some of the more learned of the alumni inthese matters have given an anticipatory whoop or twoabout the sophomores, and a restrained descriptive wordor two might be useful to those who get their footballknowledge through Editor Beck. The backfield sophomore most likely to succeed Berwanger in the esteem ofthe north stand is this Goodstein. None other than Berwanger himself remarked that the man who had hit himhardest in his football career was Goodstein. The caresof the world rest lightly on the young man, and therewas some fear that his gamboling might impede hisscholastic career, but he seems adequate to the generalcourses. He gets around with surprising speed on afootball field, and if the line develops any leaks, Goodstein will plug it as well as Berwanger did. His prepschool teammate, Greenebaum, handles himself nicelyand will make a good football player. Lawson is a little2930 THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINElight for the big leagues, but not too fragile, and he already has his claque. Sherman burned up the Chicagohigh school league two years ago as its leading scorer,and is a player much on the order of Fareed. Hamity,among other accomplishments, can plunge, and his punting is first class. It is reported that Coach Shaughnessyrather fancied the possibilities of Rogers as a quarterback, and his expert decision should merit some attention in the sophomore ratings.The point is not yet proved, but there is reasonto think that the only important defect in the backfieldas a whole is that it is more suited to a power game thanan open attack. It may be that the Chicago offense willrequire some modification to meet the type of material.Berwanger, no longer eligible as a player, has accepted an appointment as freshman coach, and will teachthe yearlings how to become Ail-Americans.For those who wish to give more intensive studytc the subject of football, a tentative roster is appended.The list is subject to the "when, as, and if eligible"clause.The tag ends of the spring season remain to be con sidered. The lone score at the top of these pages indicates that the ball team won the international series withWaseda of Japan, two games to one. No members ofcurrent Chicago teams made the American Olympicsquad. Ray Ellinwood, who finished sixth in the National Collegiate 400 meters, but was moved up a placebecause one of the runners was disqualified, apparentlydid not compete in the final tryouts. He was added tothe list of eligibles, but in the absence of Messrs. Merriam and Metcalf it is not known whether he ran or not.At any rate, he was not among the qualifiers in the twoheats. John Brooks, sprinter and broad jumper of several years back, placed second in the broad jump finaland went abroad. Director Metcalf, one of the fourmanagers of the American track team, also is in Berlin.Norman Bickel and Norbert Burgess, Big Ten doubleschampions, went farther in the National Collegiate tournament than any conference players had ever achieved,being beaten in the finals by Ben Dey and WilliamSeward, of Stanford, 9-7, 6-2, 6-3.Two elections were held for captaincies, Ellinwoodbeing chosen to head the track men and Bob Shipwaybeing elected baseball captain.TENTATIVE ROSTER OF THEName Positionf Antonic, George QB*Bartlett, Ned HBf Bosworth, William GJCassels, James J ENDf Cutter, Henry END* Fareed, Omar HBJFink, Theodore P G*Fitzgerald, Robert END*Gillerlain, William ENDJGoodstein, Morton M HBf Gordon, David ENDJGreenebaum, Robert J QBJHamity, Lewis B FB^Hawkins, (Amos) Max ENDJJoffee, Norman R ENDijohnson, Robert E T* Jordan, Prescott ; Co-Capt GJLawson, Harvey L QB*Lehnhardt, Fred HB*Meigs, Harmon Gt Petersen, Kendall END^Rogers, David QB* Sappington, Earl T$ Sherman, Sollie HBf Shipway, Robert QBf Sivesind, Jerome END*Skoning, Warren FB*Thomas, Elbert .

Miss Branham was invited to take part in two of the sessions of the Second International Congress for Microbiology held in London during July. 1924From Bombay, India comes the following letter from Clifford Manshardt,'18, AM'22:"The last year has been one of thebusiest that I have yet experienced inIndia, and that is saying a good deal.I have heard a lot about the quiet ofthe East, but in ten years of actual experience in the East I have not beenable to discover it. The work in theNeighborhood House is progressingvery well indeed. I think that afterten years we can say without exaggeration that we are filling a place not onlyin India, but also in the national life.We are continually being consulted bysocial workers in other parts of India,while visitors come from far and near."The new addition to the Neighborhood House to house a school for thetraining of public health nurses hasbeen completed, and the school hasbeen operating since the first of Junelast. The school, known as TheHealth Visitors Institute, is a co-operative venture with the Bombay Presidency Infant Welfare Society. Wetake graduate nurses and give them anadditional year of training to qualifyas public health visitors. We have improved the infant welfare centre, untilit is a model center, and our pre-nataland post-natal clinics are used as teaching clinics for the students. . . ."Our next venture is to be a GraduateSchool for the Training of SocialWorkers — the first of its kind in India.We have secured the financial supportand cooperation of the Sir Dorabji TataTrust, and the Sir Dorabji Tata Graduate School of Social Work will openin June. I am to be the first Director,and am having a grand time organizingthe School. It is no. small job to breakpioneer ground in this way, but it certainly cannot be said to be lacking ininterest. We are limiting the numberof students to twenty for the first year.All must be graduates. From the number of applications thus far, I think weshall have to turn away five studentsfor every one we accept. My friend,Dr. Arthur E. Holt, of the ChicagoTheological Seminary, has kindly agreedto spend the next year with us, andwe are looking toward his coming withgreat anticipation."During the year I have also foundtime to write a book on the communalsituation, which is to be publishedshortly by George Allen and Unwin,Ltd., of London, under the title TheHindu Muslim Problem in India.'"As a family we are well. Mrs.Manshardt and the two boys are inSouth India, where Tommy is in schoolin the lovely hill station of Kodai-kanal. ..."1926On leave of absence during the second semester of 1935-36 from his position as professor of philosophy at Deni-son University, Granville, Ohio, Harold H.
