SargentJOHN DAVISON ROCKEFELLERFounder of the University of ChicagoJuly 8, 1839— May 23, 1937VOLUME XXIX THE UNIVERSITY OFCHICAGO MAGAZINE NUMBER 8JUNE, 1937JOHN D. ROCKEFELLERMemorial Service — University of Chicago ChapelHAROLD H. SWIFTPresident of the Board of TrusteesWE are met today to do homage to the University ofChicago's founder and greatest benefactor. At onetime he said that the University was the best investmenthe had ever made. Let me, with the help of Mr. Good-speed's History of the University, describe the congeries of circumstances which enlisted and finally captured his interest in the University.In the late 1880's the Baptist denomination was education conscious, and it was known that Mr. Rockefellerwas definitely interested in the subject. He was not onlythe wealthiest man of American Baptists, but also amongthe most liberal contributors to education. Various Baptist groups throughout the country were importuning himto assist special education in particular places, and threeimportant groups urged him to establish a university intheir particular sections of the country.New York. Dr. Augustus H. Strong, previously hispastor in Cleveland and his close friend, at that timepresident of Rochester Theological Seminary, urged Mr.Rockefeller to strike spectacularly and establish! a $20,-000,000 institution in New York.Washington. Another group urged Washington,with the customary arguments pertaining to the nation'scapital, and suggested that Columbian University, already located there under Baptist auspices, be made outstanding.Chicago. And at Chicago the Baptist TheologicalUnion Seminary group and other important Baptist influences urged him to join with others in a revivified University here.The first University of Chicago began classes in 1858and closed financially bankrupt in 1886. It was a hardblow to the dauntless group of Baptists who had conceived the University — enthusiastic members of thechurch of Chicago and of the Middle West. It was unthinkable to them that there should not exist a collegeor university under Baptist auspices in this immediatevicinity.Interestingly enough, three months before it closed,the presidency was offered to William Rainey Harper, the brilliant young professor of Hebrew in the BaptistTheological Union Seminary, who declined it.The first University had no sooner begun its workthan students for the ministry began to appear in itsclasses and, as their graduation drew near, to call fortheological instruction. Soon the Baptist TheologicalUnion was established. Its first classes were held in theold University building. While this organization had ahazardous beginning, it weathered the storm. Mr. Rockefeller became interested in the Seminary in the early 80'sand for nine years was the vice-president of its Board ofTrustees. This was, I believe, Mr. Rockefeller's firstphilanthropic interest in Chicago. He gave generouslyof time and funds, not however in such terms as we latercame to know.In 1886 Mr. Rockefeller in New York heard that William Rainey Harper was being urged to leave the Seminary and go to Yale, and reported the facts to ThomasW. Goodspeed, the secretary of the Seminary. Dr. Good-speed seized this opportunity before the old Universityhad closed its doors to reply that it should be reestablished and that Dr. Harper should be retained in theSeminary so that he could be president of the reestablished institution, but Dr. Harper went to Yale. This Ibelieve to be the first time our cause was presented toMr. Rockefeller. Thus, from the failure of the old University and the success of the Seminary, the trustees,alumni, and friends of each group joined actively to promote the Chicago cause.Fortunately for our enterprise, Mr. Henry L. Morehouse, corresponding secretary of the American BaptistHome Mission Society, referred in his annual report of1887 to the feeble and chaotic condition of Baptist education and proposed that an American Baptist EducationSociety be established. In 1888 this Society came intobeing and appointed the Rev. Frederick T. Gates, a Baptist minister from Minneapolis, corresponding secretary.When the Society was well under way, Mr. Gates madea survey of Baptist education throughout the UnitedStates and recommended that the denomination found anew institution of high order, and that the wise andstrategic location would be Chicago.Thus these important proposals were before Mr.Rockefeller. , He shrank from the New York group's34 THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINEproposal of a spectacular beginning, dominated by himself. The Chicago plan of a much more modest beginning appealed to him and it had the important, and tohim necessary, feature, which was the endorsement ofthe great Baptist denomination of the country throughits Education Society.It seems ironical as we look back upon it that the en-thusiam of the New York group, both as to the size andimportance of the institution, made smoother sailing forour University once it got under way, and that whileMr. Rockefeller had met William Rainey Harper in theearlier days, he became best acquainted with him whenhe was at Yale and was being put forward by Dr. Strongto lead the New York enterprise.ROBERT MAYNARD HUTCHINSPresident, University of ChicagoTHE impressive facts about Mr. Rockefeller's connection with the University are four : he gave a largersum than any person has ever given to one institutionduring his life ; he gave it in an amazingly short time ; henever attempted to determine the objects upon which theUniversity should spend the money he gave; he neverattempted to control or influence the teaching, investigation, utterances, or conduct of the members of the faculty.The policy of giving without restriction or control hecontinued to the end ; for as recently as 1930 he releasedthe University after a period of years from the few limitations he had placed upon his donations and stated thatthe Trustees could, if they chose, devote the income toeducational purposes different from those for which thegifts were originally intended.As everybody knows, Mr. Rockefeller agreed in 1890to give $400,000 for the establishment of a Baptist college in Chicago, provided the denomination could raise$600,000. In twenty years he gave the University $35,-000,000. In this tremendous expansion Mr. Harper, Mr.Goodspeed, Mr. Ryerson, Mr. Gates and Mr. Rockefeller, Jr., of course played a part ; but Mr. Rockefellerwas in close touch with all developments and passed personally on every significant item. Although he musthave been startled by the scope of some of Mr. Harper'splans, his confidence in the trustees, the faculty, and theadministration never wavered. He continued and increased his support.The size of Mr. Rockefeller's gifts and the rapiditywith which he made them are less remarkable than thewisdom which he showed. Almost all American universities now have a great deal of money compared withwhat they had fifty years ago. No college president ofthat era in his wildest dreams of avarice could hope foror even imagine the assets which his institution has today.But this great, increase is frequently more apparent thanreal, for much of it must often be devoted to objects thatincrease the obligations without increasing the opportunities of the university, objects which reflect the specialinterest of the donor, but do not strengthen the institution as a whole. The unprecedented rise of the University of Chicago results not merely from the large sums that Mr. Rockefeller gave, but more from the fact thathe gave most of what he gave without restriction. Hewas not interested in riding hobbies ; he wanted to establish a great university. The flexibility which this policyhas given the University has enabled it to approach thedistinction of institutions whose incomes are larger, butwhose freedom to select the purposes of their expenditure is not so great.The University was largely free to select the objectsof its expenditure. It was free in every other respect.It was founded at a time of intense religious controversy,when the Higher Criticism was new. The President andmany professors were among the leaders of this movement. Since the University had been founded through ,adenomination which was torn, like every other, by thesedissensions, elements in it naturally appealed to Mr.Rockefeller to bring the University to its senses. Mr.Rockefeller took no action of any kind. The Universityhad no idea on which side his sympathies lay. And inlater struggles on other issues Mr. Rockefeller continued to hold the enlightened position he had taken fromthe first. He left the University free. Within the memory of living men, at least, no similar relation betweena university and its founder has existed. This relation,more than the money that Mr. Rockefeller gave, laid thefoundation for the greatness of the University; for itmade Chicago a stronghold of that spirit of inquiry whichis indispensable to the advancement of knowledge andthe development of education.Although Mr. Rockefeller's active connection with theUniversity ended twenty-seven years ago, its present andits future are based on what he did. This is obvious insuch' matters as the strategic location of the Universityand the provision for its development on the south sideof the Midway. Mr. Rockefeller supplied a splendid material basis for his university. He did more. He set anexample and established a tradition. He pursued thecourse he had decided to take, regardless of pressure andcriticism. He ignored the strange campaign against theUniversity conducted in the early days by a section ofthe Chicago press. He was generous and serene, andharbored no resentment. Hd did not pretend to be anexpert in education. He was willing to trust those whowere. He never allowed his religious, economic, political, or social convictions to be mentioned to any memberof the staff. His attitude toward the institution hefounded is a model not only for private individuals butalso for those governments that support universities. Thisuniversity owes its life to him. Its eminence rests onwhat he did. Its promise for the future depends on thecontinuance in its councils of his tolerant and independent spirit.TREVOR ARNETTFormer President of the General Education BoardI FIRST saw Mr. Rockefeller in, 1901 when he wasguest of honor at the Decennial Celebration, of theUniversity of Chicago. He faithfully attended the various events of the program of which there were many, especially the laying of corner stones of new buildings, aTHE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINE 5function which caused Dr. Vincent to remark that whenthe program lagged, President Harper put on a cornerstone laying. When President Harper introduced me toMr. Rockefeller he mentioned my connection with thefinancial department of the University. Mr. Rockefellerwas interested at once and spoke of the importance ofJ. Lawrence Laughlin, President William Rainey Harper, Martin A.Ryerson, John D. Rockefeller, Paul Shorey, and A. C. Bartlett at thecornerstone laying of the Press Building in 1901sound and careful financial management to the University and wished me success in any efforts that I mightmake in that direction. Many years elapsed before I methim again. This time it was in Ormond, Florida, at thelittle church which he attended. He sat in the front pew,joined heartily in the singing and at the close of the service chatted pleasantly and freely with the congregation ina neighborly fashion. Some days later he entertained usat the Casements, his Florida home.These were the only occasions on which I talked withhim personally for he had already withdrawn from theactive management of his affairs. I remember vividlythe impression he made on me — in the first instance heimpressed me as a keen and efficient man of affairs whoknew and appreciated thoroughly the fundamental principles on which successful administration rests. At thechurch he was "neighbor John" and in his home the courteous and genial host wishing his guests to have a happytime. He took pleasure in relating humorous anecdotesand experiences, illustrating many of them by mimicryand gesture. He referred to his custom of giving newdimes to children and how in doing so he observed theirmanners whether they were good, if not he gave them alesson. He also said that he impressed upon each childthe necessity of obeying his parents, saying "if you donot, I may come and take the dime away from you."After dinner he and his guests sat around the table andplayed numerica, a game of which he was very fond. Itwas the kind of scene which might be found in thousandsof homes all over the country. He was a kindly, sweet-spirited gentleman with none of certain characteristicswhich so often are found in self made men. When theSisters Chapel was dedicated which was built from bequests from Mrs. Rockefeller and her sister at Spelman College in Atlanta, Mr. John D. Rockefeller, Jr., speaking of his father and mother said that he had never hearda sharp or angry word from either of them. In theirhome all was serenity and peace. None of the difficulties or anxieties of the outer world was ever brought intothe home circle.Indirect ContactsThough my personal contacts with Mr. Rockefellerwere few, my indirect contacts were numerous. In theearlier years I went annually with President Harper,Martin Ryerson, Andrew MacLeish, and later withPresident Judson and Wallace Heckman to his office at26 Broadway, New York, to lay before his son and otherrepresentatives the condition and needs of the University of Chicago. They in turn laid them before Mr.Rockefeller and in a short time a letter would be received from Mr. John D. Rockefeller, Jr., which invariably began, "My father will give to the University, etc."Needless to say these letters were eagerly awaited forupon the nature of their contents the extent of the workof the University in the coming year depended. Theseconferences usually took place a few weeks before Christmas and many of you will remember how Mr. Rockefellerwas pictured as Santa Claus and President Harper as asmall boy with his stocking labelled "University of Chicago" hanging on the mantel.My indirect contacts continued in the later years whenI became Secretary and afterwards President of the General Education Board which he had founded, and a member of other Rockefeller Boards. In these capacities Icame to know pretty thoroughly the spirit and characteristics of Mr. Rockefeller so far as they were manifestedin the philanthropic uses of his wealth.He was methodical. He kept an accurate record ofhis contributions from the very first when his salary wasonly a few dollars a week and conscientiously gave partof his earnings to charitable objects. He continued todo so through all his life when his fortune had reachedinto the millions. The earlier records show gifts of afew cents per week, the later ones gifts of millions, but aconsistent principle ran through all.He was logical. Emotional appeals not soundly basedmet with little response from him. He wished his giftsto benefit the cause and to produce the maximum good.Therefore the same objectivity was manifested in hisphilanthropy as in his business.He admired tenacity oj purpose. When two earnestyoung women appealed for help for a school for Negrogirls they were trying to establish in Atlanta, Georgia,he asked them if they intended to stick and said "If youdo I will." They stuck and so did he and that institution is now Spelman College named for his wife's familyand is an outstanding college for Negro women. He andhis Boards have given, over three millions to it and atits fiftieth anniversary a few years ago, Mr. Rockefellersent a message of congratulation and said that no investment he had ever made had given him more satisfactionthan his investment in Spelman.He disliked grandiose schemes. His expression forschemes of this character was "scopey." Size, however,if soundly conceived, was not objectionable to him.6 THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINEHe wished his gifts to be a benefit and not a detriment to the recipient.He felt that careless giving often tended to pauperizerather than to help. He wanted his gifts to encourageand assist and not to relieve the beneficiary of his obligations.Establishment of His Philanthropic BoardsAs his fortune grew, his benefactions grew and he soonrealized that their scope demanded more than personalattention. The development of his methods was thoroughly in accord with his principles. It is interesting totrace their growth. At first he gave to his own churchand local objects. Then he personally made gifts to otherBaptist churches and schools. Later he made gifts to theBaptist General Boards and became acquainted withFrederick T. Gates, the Secretary of the American Baptist Education Society. Two most important consequences arose from this connection. Mr. Rockefellermade his original gift of $600,000 for the founding ofthe University of Chicago to this Society, and later tookMr. Gates into his own office where he exercised a profound influence with regard to additional and continuingsupport to the new university, and where he displayedhis remarkable insight and genius in advising Mr. Rockefeller in the creation of his philanthropic Boards.By this time Mr. Rockefeller was recognized as theleading Baptist layman and the largest supporter of Bap tist activities. He once jokingly remarked that he hoped.he was a good Christian but he knew he was a good Ban-tist. It had, however, become clear to him that his interests extended beyond the confines of one denominationThis conviction led him to create the Rockefeller Boardsfor making his benefactions. The story of their founding"and development is an interesting one, but which I havenot the time to tell except very briefly.Mr. Rockefeller had always felt that the same scrupu.lous care should be exercised in giving away money as inaccumulating it, and that to give money wisely on an extensive scale required an organization for that purposeWith this idea in mind he founded the General Education Board in 1902 for "the promotion of educationwithin the United States of America, without distinctionof race, sex, or creed." By nature always an optimist hebelieved in a constantly improving state of society andremarked to the members of the Board, "I am turningthese funds over to you, confidently believing that youwill use them more wisely than I, and equally confidentthat your successors will use them more wisely than you.""'One of his reasons for creating the General EducationBoard was to assist the South in its educational problems. He had become interested in the South and appreciated the difficulties which confronted it in maintaininga dual system of education, one for whites and one forNegroes, and having a larger number of children proportionately to educate with less wealth per capita. Besidesboth he and Mrs. Rockefeller's family had always been:t*s t s- /cJ/JO/'tisG> *y£j^Jg- -£<y^^^^k^ -z^cvJ^. ^<?xv»' £^Ckc» <£fi-^^cut/ exrt^A hitherto unpublished letter from the University files written by John D. Rockefeller to his personal friend, President William Rainey Harp«at the time of Dr. Harper's first operationTHE UNIVERSITY OF CIITCAGO MAGAZINEsympathetic to the condition of the Negro and wished toimprove it. His first gift of a million dollars to the Boardwas to assist the Board in studying the needs and aidingto promote the educational interests of the people of theSouthern states. The Board has maintained its interestin the South. But in accord with its charter purpose ithas assisted educational institutions all over the country,and among them this university has received large grantsfrom it.In 1913 Mr. Rockefeller established the RockefellerFoundation for the purpose of promoting the well-beingof mankind throughout the world. As the General Education Board extended the scope of Mr. Rockefeller'sbenefactions in the United States beyond the limits of onedenomination so the Rockefeller Foundation extendedthem beyond the limits of the United States throughoutthe world, and is universal in scope.After the death of Mrs. Rockefeller, Mr. Rockefellerestablished the Laura Spelman Rockefeller Memorial tocarry on her charities. This Board was later mergedwith the Rockefeller Foundation inasmuch as the charter of the Foundation permitted it to carry out the purposes for which the Laura Spelman Rockefeller Memorial was created.Since 1855 Mr. Rockefeller's benefactions have exceeded 530 million dollars. Seventy-three per cent of itwas given to these three Boards which he established forcarrying on his benefactions. Since he established themthey have appropriated an even greater amount, viz.,$604,120,000, so that the name Rockefeller is now a synonym for generous help and wise and discriminating giving. They still have resources to carry on their benefactions for as long as their members decide it wise to continue. But they may at any time give away the principalas well as the income of their funds, so fully and freelydid Mr. Rockefeller give them power to act.Apart from his gifts to the foregoing mentioned Boardsof the 27 per cent remaining, 18 per cent was given tothe University of Chicago and to the Rockefeller Institute for Medical Research, two institutions which in theirshort existence have already become world renowned.Mr. Rockefeller directed his gifts to the spiritual, intellectual and physical betterment of mankind. TheseBoards are following in his footsteps. Never has therebeen generosity on such an unparalleled scale and theworld may never see its like again.CHARLES W. GILKEYDean of the University ChapelANEW YORK editorial column which likes to reflect on the deeper meanings and wider bearings ofthe events of the passing day, printed last week a quaintstory which I shall tell in the exact words of the editor :"An American visitor in Greece who was a student ofthe classics . . . made a pilgrimage one day to MountHelicon. At its foot is the fountain of Hippocrene,where the nine Muses used to meet in conference. Hefound the hallowed spring partly choked up and the flow°f waters interrupted. Looking about him, he saw anempty Standard Oil kerosene can lying near by. Hescooped out the muddled spring, inserted the oil can for a permanent casing, and went on his way, havingcanalized the sacred fountain of the Muses with one ofJohn D. Rockefeller's tin-plate containers."Now the President has spoken already of the incalculable debt which this University owes to its Founder ; andI do not tell this odd tale now to offer it as in any sensehalf-humorous or fantastic, a parable of what he has donefor this institution of learning. The man we honor todaywas more than the Founder of whom the President hasspoken; he was even more than the philanthropist ofwhom Mr. Arnett has told us. The possibility of boththose great services to mankind rested upon certain capacities and achievements of his that showed themselvesMrs. Charles Hitchcock, A. C. Bartlett, John D. Rockefeller, andPresident William Rainey Harper at the Hitchcock cornerstone layingin 1901first in other fields of human endeavor. Through theseother fields his life-work has possibly affected the dailycomfort and welfare of more human beings the worldaround than any other man of his generation ; even morethan have been reached by his unprecedented philanthropies. If I venture to speak of his contribution to theeconomic efficiency and organization of mankind, it is notbecause I can do it justice, or even appraise it fairly, butbecause this service would be incomplete without somesuch tribute. And I tell this quaint tale because — asstories so often do — as a fable of Aesop or a parable ofJesus would have done infinitely better — it helps us realize the worldwide extent and the worldwide accessibilityof that contribution.All our common parlance about "the oil business' recognizes the large elements of unpredictability and riskthat have inevitably characterized it. Consider for instance the connotations of the familiar phrase "strikingoil," that remind us of the large element of chance in thediscovery of the original sources of crude oil scatteredhere and there all over the earth. When Mr. Rockefellerwent into the oil business in 1862, the refining and marketing of oil was almost equally haphazard and speculative. But within 30 years that combination of qualities— foresight, judgment, courage, dependability of character and credit, wise choice of men, organizing power on avast scale — which in him was obviously business genius,had made -kerosene oil available for both light and fuel8 THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINEliterally all over the earth, not only within the reach butwithin the means not only of millions of Americans whosechildren used to carry it home as I did from the grocery ;but equally of Greek peasants who left their empty oilcans on Mount Helicon, Indian outcasts whom some ofus have watched carrying water home from the villagewell in those same empty cans, and Thibetan peasantswho use them to boil their tea in, after they have extracted the fuel for their flame. It is hard for us to realize that when Mr. Rockefeller withdrew from activebusiness, the export of oil for light was five or six timesas important as that of the gasolene which the world nowdepends on for so much of its power; and that this lastis a development which neither he nor his associates canhave foreseen. It is this whole creative achievement towhich Mr. T. W. Lamont refers in his discerning tribute :"Future students of American economic history willdeclare that in industry Mr. Rockefeller was the pioneerin largescale elimination of needless waste, in mass production, in scientific management."It is still harder for us to realize how far back fromour modern day these 97 years extend, and into how different a world. He was born when Van Buren wasPresident. He tramped the streets of Cleveland lookingfor a job for six weeks, when Lincoln was returning toactive politics and the Republican party was forming. Hewent into the oil business the year before Gettysburg.Those were days when the chief question about thenatural resources of the country was how to get at themand make them available. Conservation and exploitationwere words that had not then even been thought of ; andthe ethical questions they raise, as to the rights of oneindividual or company or generation in relation to theresources which nature has deposited in trust for all, hadnever been realized, much less faced.So too with the ethical questionsabout business which the intelligenceand conscience of later generationsraise in the light of their own experiences, and the ethical standardswhich are incorporating themselvesslowly not only in the law, but inthe custom and the climate of ourown time.Mr. Rockefeller long outlived thepioneering era of strongarmed andoften ruthless individualism intowhich he was torn, and in whichhis earlier work was done. It ishard for us younger folk to see himin his own time, or judge him inrelation to it. Perhaps it is fairer,as well as wiser, to remember (especially in a religious service like thisone) that great word of the apostlewhich applies especially one mightthink to other generations than _. . . ..., „. , r The outdoor pulpitone s own : Let us not therefore Cha judge one another any more . . ." ; and equally that profound insight of Jesus, that only God is wise enough tojudge any man, and that if we needs must sit in judgment, it were well to begin with ourselves first.In any case this is surely true, that any man's life isbest judged by what comes out of it. The two generations of sons that carry forward this same name into ourown time, and the organizations which have carried forward both the business and the philanthropic interestsof their founder, have showed themselves sensitive andresponsive in all conscience to the ethics of their ownclay. Besides, we cannot fairly ask our great men to begeniuses in every area at once. We can honor Rembrandt for his priceless, gifts to posterity, without belaboring him because he could not balance his budget, or always pay his bills. And we can see at once that Mr.Rockefeller's organizing genius, and not least his skillin choosing men and then giving them freedom and responsibility without dictation on his part in fields thatwere not his own, have been devoted wholly these manyyears to the setting of new standards for philanthropy,not only in amount, but even more strikingly in intelligence and foresight. The tin can of the story is a crudesymbol of the organized wisdom and mercy that havethrough him been made accessible the world around,wherever there is human need.This chapel also was his gift ; and no word about himhere is complete without recognition of the central placewhich religion held in his own life and in all his schemeof things. His favorite hymn bears for some of us theechoes of our own ancestors. They, like him, were asyet unaware of those bearings of Christianity on the social relations of men to each other in all the areas of life,which have become central for the religion of our owntime. So was it with that lay religious leader of his generation,D. L. Moody. Few of us today canagree with his theology, but mostof us can see what great values andforces he quickened in his own generation. Out of his work two diverse currents have flowed. One,looking backward and using hisname, is dogmatic and divisive.The other, represented in theNorthfield schools he founded, iseducational and creative. That Mr.Rockefeller's religion was of thesecond type is abundantly evident,not only in the freedom of theological teaching here with whichhe never interferred even when ittraversed his own familiar views, butmost of all in the noble words, moreremarkable far in 1910 when theywere written than in 1937 when we,, ., ... .. read them now, which expressed hisof the University ,' v ,pel hope and faith for this chapel.A PHILOSOPHY OF LIFE'• BY PRESIDENT ROBERT MAYNARD HUTCHINSI HOPE that you will never have a "philosophy oflife." As I understand this phrase it means thatone who says he has a philosophy of life has gothimself adjusted to his environment. He is now preparedto compromise on any issue at any time. Injustice is allright. Brutality is all right. Fraud, corruption, dishonesty are all right. The only thing that is not all rightis something that endangers the security of the individualin question, or that threatens his income, or damages hisreputation. Peace in a vegetable sense and prosperityin a material sense are the aims of one who talks abouthis philosophy of life.It is obvious that those who have the effrontery to callthis attitude a philosophy of life are confused about whatis good. They think that goods outside a person arethose which determine his success. And since thosegoods can apparently be best obtained and retained byadjustment to the environment, that adjustment is usually rapid and complete. They forget that there are somethings in every environment to which no honest manshould ever adjust himself.Since you are about to proceed into direct and remorseless contact with the environment, we should tryto determine on this occasion the kind of adjustment youshould make to it. This means that we must decide whatgoods you should strive for. Clearly we should try tofind some for you if we can that are stable, that arewithin your own powers, and that are higher goods towhich lower ones are ordered. We should try, in short,to work out a human philosophy of life, valid for all goodmen, something more than a set of dodges and devicesdeveloped by an individual to shirk the pain of thinkingand of moral choice. The problem, then, is what are thegoods that man should seek, not what should you thinkof to cheer yourself up when the baby is sick, or to appease your conscience when you have cheated a client orcustomer, or to reconcile yourself to the murder or starvation of helpless people in Spain or elsewhere.We see at once that the goods that man should seekcannot be some of those to which men have been willingto devote their lives. They cannot be money, fame, orpower. These goods are goods of fortune. Hence theycannot be achieved by your own efforts. If you wantthem it is probably wise for you to work as hard as possible and to be as intelligent as possible. But any manwho has attained them must admit occasionally and tohimself that his success has resulted largely from chance.The accidents of friendship, location, education, and birthhave led as many men to wealth and glory as the practiceof puritanism. Even if you have all the virtues and thehighest kind of I. Q., you cannot be sure that society willgive you your reward. On the contrary, there is somejustification for the saying that society either corruptsits best men or kills them.As goods of fortune external goods are, of course,June Convocation Address 1917. goods of the moment. We have reason to know thatmen may see their money vanish without warning andthrough no fault of their own. We can hardly blamethose who lost their property or their jobs in the last depression. Yet assets painfully accumulated through yearsand even generations were swept away overnight. Inour own time we have seen great political and militaryreputations explode with a frequency, rapidity, and spontaneity which must be discouraging to those who haveset their hearts on similar reputations for themselves.We know that there must be proportion in whatevergoods there are. All men want all good things. Butany reasonably mature infant knows that there is sucha thing as too much food. The delights of domesticitydo not blind us to the fact that it is possible to have toolarge a family, too many houses, and too much furniturein each room. We are clear that there must be proportion in regard to most external goods. The one we aremost confused about is the one we have created ourselves,namely, money. There is no limit to its goodness ; it isalways good, and the more of it the better. Yet the question that was asked 2,500 years ago is still unanswerable,"How can that be wealth of which a man may have agreat abundance and yet perish with hunger, like Midasin the fable, whose insatiable prayer turned everythingthat was set before him into gold ?"As there is a proportion of goods, so also is there anorder of them. As work is for the sake of leisure, andwar, if there is any excuse for it, is for the sake of peace ;as the body is trained for the sake of healthy appetites,and| healthy appetites for the sake of the mind, so external goods are for the sake of something else. Thatthey are goods no one can deny. But they are not goodin themselves and there are other goods beyond them.They are means and not ends. Most people will admitthis, but then they say, "I have to earn a living first.When I am able to live then I will think about higherthings." This doctrine of one thing at a time, thistheory of successive justification is gross confusion ofmeans and ends. We do not live merely to exist. Wedo not acquire possessions merely to have them. Weacquire them in order to live in a certain way. Our wayof life is distorted from the first unless we see the endfrom the first. In classical and mediaeval language theend of human action is the first principle of human action. We must know the end to understand the beginning we should make.The modern state suffers from the same confusionabout the role of external goods and about means andends that afflicts its citizens. Tawney has elaborated thispoint in regard to industrial society. He says, "We mustassign to economic activity ... its proper place as theservant, not the master of society. The burden of ourcivilization is not merely . . . that the product of industryis ill-distributed, or its conduct tyrannical, or its operation interrupted by embittered disagreements. * It is thatindustry itself has come to hold a position of exclusive910 THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINEpredominance among human interests which no single interest, and least of all the provision of the material meansof existence, is fit to occupy. Like a hypochondriac whois so absorbed in the processes of his own digestion thathe goes to his grave before he has begun to live, industrialized communities neglect the very objects for whichit is worth-while to acquire riches in their feverish preoccupation with the means by which riches may be acquired. . . The naive complaint that workmen are neversatisfied is therefore strictly true. It is true, not only ofworkmen, but of all classes in a society which conductsits affairs on the principle that wealth, instead of beingproportioned to function, belongs to those who can getit. They are never satisfied, nor can they be satisfied.For as long as they make that principle the guide oftheir individual lives and their social order, nothing shortof infinity could bring them satisfaction."The true state is not organized for economic purposes,or for military purposes, or for the purpose of multiplying the population. It is not organized to achieve influence or empire. Least of all is it organized as an end initself. It is organized to obtain for all its citizens, in themeasure that they can partake of them, the goods we areseeking for you.I hasten to add that these goods may be achieved onlyin a political society. The completely isolated individualis, in the ancient phrase, either a beast or a god; he isnot a man. The good of the community, moreover, ishigher than the good of the citizen, so that it is in thenature of things that he should surrender his temporalgoods and even his life for the welfare of the community,and that social life should impose upon him many restraints and sacrifices. Still the state exists for man, notman for the state. The totalitarian state is a perversionand a monstrosity. The state which demands that itspeople think what it tells them to think, the state whichholds that the person is a part of the state and nothingelse, has no claim to the name. It is an organization offorce.The methods by which a political society tries to preserve its character are in general two: the laws and theeducational system. If, for example, a country hasadopted an imperialistic policy, the laws will tend to promote it, and there will be a] lot of talk in the schoolsabout manifest destiny and the white man's burden. Sothe state anxious for wealth or glory or the elevation ofthe national character will adapt its laws and educationalsystem to the end it has in view.The state can be no better than the citizens who compose it. But the citizens are made better or worse bythe laws and education of the state. Thus the characterof the citizens both forms and is formed by the characterof the state. Here we come to understand the role ofleadership. Even in bad states good men may arise. Inthe course of history some countries have grown betterrather than worse, and none has ever stayed the sameover any considerable period of time. The changes thathave taken place in them are not wholly fortuitous. Theyhave resulted in part at least from the deliberate activities of people. The improvement of the American educational system, of the national character, and of the government of this country must depend in some degree on our ability to find leaders who understand what the goodfor man and hence for the state may be.The college and university graduates of the UnitedStates are a minute fraction of the population. Theyhave enjoyed, and not wholly at their own expense, op~portunities far beyond their contemporaries. We cannot suppose that the community has provided the vastfunds consumed by this enterprise in order to give students an agreeable vacation from their families and pleasant postponement of the task of earning a living. Nothe community has had a child-like faith that from institutions of learning some leadership might emerge. Theresults to date have hardly justified the ecstatic hopes ofThomas Jefferson and others a century and a half ago.You may have heard that your generation is the hope ofAmerica. Perhaps it is ; mine used to be. But if yourgeneration makes no better use of its education than minehas there is little hope that the millenium will soon arrive, or if it does that education will have been responsible for its coming. Taking the country over there islittle evidence that its college and university graduatesas such have ever done, said, or even thought anythingwhich suggested that they could be singled out to leadthe way in improving the education, government, orcharacter of our people. Since they are, we must suppose,our best men, and since we know that few of them havebeen killed, we must assume that they have been corrupted. They must have developed a philosophy of life.The goods which are stable, which are within yourpower, the goods to which external and bodily goods areordered, are the goods of the character and the mind.They are the main constituents of any abiding happiness.They are the insignia as well of the true state. The truestate seeks the common good. It tries to secure happiness for all to the degree to which they can participatein it. Since the main constituent of happiness is intellectual and moral excellence, only a state which promotesintellectual and moral excellence can promote the common good and be a true state. It is the duty of the citizen to lead the good life. The state exists for the sakeof this life.The object of your education has been to help youform moral and intellectual habits of the sort that leadto excellence. But you have been practicing them inrelatively sheltered surroundings. As habits are formedby acting in a certain way, so they are eventually lost byceasing to act in that way. If you stop thinking whenyou receive your diplomas, you will at length lose thecapacity to think. If you begin to compromise, if yourcourage oozes when it costs something to fight, if yousay, "Leave well enough alone," or "Don't rock the boat,"or "I have a philosophy of life," then you will be lost toyourselves and to your country.This country is endowed with material advantages beyond all others in the world. The genius of its people,the extent of its resources, and its impregnable positioncombine to suggest that it is equipped to be the idealstate for which antiquity yearned, that state which addedto such advantages the noblest gifts of the intellect andcharacter and the will to live for their exercise in everyrelation of life, and whose education, institutions, and(Continued on Page 23)// AND THEN DR. HARPER NODDED . . . "A Brief History of the University BandUniversity Band Director, HaroldBachmanAS a boy, William Rainey Harper did much morethan merely apply himself to his schoolwork. Hisfavorite avocation was music, and as a consequence, in his early years he learned to play both thecornet and the organ. In an article which appearedseveral years ago regarding the earlyhistory of the band,Mr. Frederic M.Blanchard tells usthat one of the greatdelights of youngWilliam's life wasthe offer made himthat he join the bandof a certain largecircus as cornetistand "mascot." Parental authority intervened at this pointand William continued his education.In spare moments,however, he organized, rehearsed, drilled, and directed "The New ConcordCornet Band," which became well known as one of thefine rural bands of Ohio.Dr. Ira Price, Professor Emeritus of Semitic Languages and Literatures, of the University of Chicago,says that he first saw William Rainey Harper at thetime of the graduation exercises at Denison University,in June, 1873. The New Concord Cornet Band hadbeen hired for the occasion. The school and the wholetown had "turned out" to see and hear this group. Theband was fine, but the director was the main attraction.William Harper, aged sixteen, was leading the band triumphantly down the streets of Granville, using a canein lieu of a real baton.When Dr. Harper came to the new University ofChicago as its president, he longed for a band. His secretary, Dr. Francis Wayland Shepardson, was called inon the matter, and notices were posted on the bulletinboards in front of Cobb Hall, summoning all men interested in playing in a band. The first meeting washeld on Tuesday, October 11, 1898. Ten faculty menand as many students responded. About two-thirds ofthe group were cornet players. Dr. Harper balancedthe instrumentation by borrowing other instruments forseveral members. The first rehearsal was held in Haskell on Thursday, October 20, 1898, at 7:30 P. M.The president soon found money for the band to buyits own instruments and uniforms. Tlie one man in theorganization who had a complete maroon outfit at thattime was Robert Johnson, Negro "factotum" of Ryer- • ROBERT S. MINER '4(fson Laboratory and the band's official man to carry thebass drum. Johnson's uniform was the most conspicuous part of the band, and the wearer was very proudof it. Rehearsals were held regularly in the corridorof Haskell, just outside the president's office. SinceDr. Harper was far too busy to take over the directing,although he remained active with the band as solo cornetist, he appointed Dr. Glenn Moody Hobbs, an assistant professor in physics, to conduct the group.The band played its first concert in Kent Theater, onFriday evening, December 16, 1898. Its part of theentertainment was a surprise. The program scheduledwas that of the Senior Finals, the evening to be devoted,supposedly, to oratory. The members of the band hadcome quite early and had stationed themselves in thesouthwest corner of the room, having hidden their instruments behind the seats. The meeting opened witha brief talk by the president, and then Dr. Harper noddedtoward the appropriate corner of the room and askedfor music. "... a crashing blast of trumpets introducedto an astonished audience the University of ChicagoMilitary Band. There were only twenty of them, butto those seated down in front there was the sound of aband of a thousand men."1 It was an instant success !Among those on the roster of the early band, we findDr. Harper; Dr. Francis W. Shepardson, the presentnational president of Beta Theta Pi Fraternity; Dr.Charles J. Chamberlain, Professor Emeritus of PlantMorphology on our campus; Dr. Charles Goetsch, anassociate professor in our German Department; Mr.C. D. Greenleaf, president of C. G. Conn, Ltd.; Mr.Herbert P. Zimmermann, vice-president of R. R. Donnelley & Sons Co. ; and many other men whose recordshave been no less enviable, but whose names are not sowell known.The band soon added a quartette number or two toeach program, the artists featured in this group beingamong the best performers in the company on brass instruments. One of the most popular airs in their repertoire was the robust "Soldiers Chorus" from Gounod'sFaust. The new military band played a conspicuouspart in the Decennial Week program by giving a veryfine concert on Monday, June 1, 1901. It was at thistime that the late Mr. Rockefeller made his last visitto the campus which he so generously endowed. In thesame year the band appeared at the laying of the cornerstone for Bartlett Gymnasium, on November 28.In addition to his being an organizer of such worthwhile groups as the band, Dr. Harper was, himself, aversatile musician. Dr. Chamberlain recalls that at acertain rehearsal the bass drummer was sadly late. Thepresident asked if anyone else could play the bass drum.1Frederic M. Blanchard, "The Military Band of the llniversity," TheUniversity of Clficayo Magazine, January, 1917, p. IDS.1112 THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINEThe University Band of YesteryearNo one volunteered. At this point he remarked, "Well,I never have, but I can !" whereupon he seized the drumstick and showed the band what a good bass drummercould do.One November afternoon about two months beforehis death, Dr. Harper invited the* band to come to hishome and play for him. After the concert, he spentsome time consulting with the* director concerning theband's future. He died on Wednesday, January 10,1906. A day or two later the body was moved to Haskell where it lay in state until the funeral on Saturdaythe 13th. In the procession to Haskell, the bandmarched ahead of the casket of its beloved founder. Inaccord with Dr. Harper's special request, this groupplayed the funeral marches at his last rites, and marchedin the procession to Oakwood Cemetery. Of his relation to the band, Dr. Shepardson says, "Dr. Harperwas its inspiration — its benefactor."/ Like all outstanding organizations, the band has hadits "Dark Ages." We find little of great importance occurring in its history for a period of several years. In1914, it tried a new venture in the form of a summerband which proved quite successful, but has since beendiscontinued. At the time of the University's silver anniversary in 1916, President Harry Pratt Judson tookaction to put the band on a sound basis financially.In 1922, Mr. C. D. Greenleaf, president of C. G.Conn, Ltd., who was mentioned before as prominent inthe first band organization, gave the University one hun dred musical instruments, among them, "Big Bertha %the largest bass drum in the world. This giant is morethan eight feet in diameter and requires a special express car for its transportation when it travels withthe band and the football team. When the drum hadbeen completed in the Conn factory at Elkhart, Indianait was too large to be taken out of the building at anyexit, so a portion of the factory wall had to be knockedout. Through the years, the drum has proved a "troublesome mascot," but one of which the boys are nevertheless very proud. The largest steerhides obtainable wereused for heads, and until Nature "builds bigger and better" "cattle, "Bertha" will remain the world's championbass drum.After a long period of rehearsals in Haskell, the bandmoved its meeting place to a room in Mitchell Tower.These musicians drilled for their football field maneuversacross the Midway on the lot at 60th Street and Greenwood Avenue. The long trek back to the rehearsalroom had its compensations however, since the boysseldom failed to stop in the vicinity of the girls' dormitories and treat the young ladies to a rousing brassband serenade.In its history, the band has had eight directors. Following Dr. Hobbs, came Mr. Thomas W. Thompson,"a superior cornetist," to quote Dr. Shepardson. Mr.Frederic M. Blanchard, for many years an associate professor of public speaking, next took up the baton. It isto an article by Mr. Blanchard that we are deeply indebted for some of the data we have today regardingthe early band. His successor as director of the University of Chicago Military Band was Mr. J. BeachCragun, a teacher of reed instruments. Mr. Cragunwas an instructor in music in the University High Schooland the manager of a music school located for severalyears in the university community. The band's fifthdirector was Mr. Wilson, a capable organist. FromChicago, Mr. Wilson went to Ohio State University,where he added to an already outstanding career. Theband next enjoyed the leadership of Mr. Palmer Clark.Mr. Clark's orchestra is now featured weekly on a National Broadcasting program.Succeeding Mr. Clark, came Mr. Howard Mort, nowDirector of the Reynolds Student Clubhouse. Mr.Mort's able successor, and the band's present director,is Mr. Harold Bachman, a prominent bandmaster and(Continued on Page 23)& 9u * ui j^^#^wyv>* * -iv >* i ij?:A i \J»*2 I rf \^ \m* fV«i S*TThe University of Chicago Concert Band — 1937IN MY OPINION• By FRED B. MILLETT, PhD'31, Associate Professor of EnglishTHE problem of the reward for administrative workis closely allied to that of the rewards for teaching and research. * The latter problem has, ofcourse, been debated frequently. But it is doubtfulwhether any sounder views than those of the GrantsCommittee have ever been expressed: 'The number ofpersons who are capable of the pioneering discoverieswhich definitely advance the frontiers of knowledge islimited, and there is no danger that their exceptionalmerits will not be rewarded in our Universities. Onthe other hand, the number who are capable of delvinginto some abstruse but not necessarily very significantaspect of learning is considerable, and we think it wouldbe singularly unfortunate if research of this latter character, of which perhaps there is already too much beingdone all over the world, were to be rewarded in preference to work which bears fruit, not in an accumulationof publications, but in the inspirations of teaching." TheUniversity of Chicago has not been reluctant to rewardgood teaching on the rare occasions when it has beendiscoverable, but plenty of freshwater institutions inAmerica might well give the most serious attention tothese admonitions.But the problems of administration and faculty services are by no means the major concern of the University Grants Committee. It is altogether appropriate thatthe longest section of its Report should concern itselfwith students and their problems. These problems areboth qualitative and quantitative in nature.The quantitative problem is probably the more obtrusive. "For all the institutions on the grant list in GreatBritain the number of full-time students has grownfrom 44,309 in 1928-29 to 49,234 in 1934-35. Thisrepresents an increase of about 1 1 per cent, as comparedwith an increase of 3 per cent, in the preceding period1923-24 to 1928-29." This increase in the number offull-time students has important immediate and remoteconsequences. The immediate consequence is the tremendous strain on the institution's plant and its administrative and pedagogical staff. The remote consequencesto be faced by any serious minded institution that doesnot exist in a vacuum are the absorption of an increasedacademic population into the economic system of thecountry and the possible dangers of overcrowding inone or another learned profession. Of even greaterimportance perhaps in the long run are the generaleffects on the national culture of a wider and widerdiffusion of higher education.In view of the reports of overcrowding in certain ofthe learned professions in America, particularly law,medicine, and teaching, it is of some interest to notethe shifts in the number of students registered in the*This is the second section of an article considering the latest reportof the University Grants Committee, a British governmental body concerned witih education. The first part of this article appeared under thistitle in the May issue of the Magazine. various Faculties of Great Britain's colleges and universities. "There has been a sharp rise in Medicine anda considerable rise in Pure Science.. In the Arts groupthe number has only increased by 162 as compared withan increase in the previous period of 4,644. In thatperiod there was a fall of 2,610 in Medicine, a fall whichhas more than made good in the period under review."America, like Great Britain, has experienced sincethe World War and particularly during the Depressiona very marked increase in the size of the student population of its higher institutions of learning. The problems, both immediate and remote, arising from this increase are, and will be, intensified by a consideration ofwhich most American educators are probably unaware,namely, the ratio of university students to the total population. The Biennial Survey of Education, issued bythe United States Department of the Interior, indicatesthat for students above the sophomore year, the ratio inAmerica was one student to every 275 of the populationfor the period 1930-32. A more startling figure is arrived at when one includes university students of allranks. According to Dr. Kotschnig, formerly Secretary-General of the International Student Service at Geneva,the ratios of university students to total population wereas follows: Italy, 808; Germany, 604; Sweden, 543;FYance, 480; the United States, 125! Notwithstandingone's profound misgivings with regard to the efficiencyof American higher education, one can easily see thatthe economic and cultural implications of this final figure are tremendous. With no inclination to play thealarmist, one can foresee that in a country where forsome time to come the birth-rate is bound to decline, thestatus of members of the learned professions would seembound to be increasingly difficult.One of the major functions of the American universities for the last generation or more has been the production of Ph.D/s. Many institutions in fact haveprided themselves on the quantity rather than the qualityof their product. Certainly, the number of Ph. D.'s whowill be able to find places in the field of higher educationseems likely to grow smaller and smaller. Unless aspirants to this degree are willing to enter Junior Collegeor secondary school teaching, it would seem the dutyof those who guide the destinies of graduate studentsto discourage all save the most promising.What will probably have to be developed in Americais a new philosophy of education, a conception of education for living rather than education for earning aliving. It is certainly an implication of the democraticway of life that a democracy cannot have too much ofso good a commodity as education. But if wide-spreadhigher education were to lead to acute economic as well aspsychological frustrations, the swing of a large bodyof white-collar workers to either the Left or the Rightmight destroy the delicate balance that constitutes the1314 THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINEdemocratic system. If, however, a new philosophy ofeducation can be developed, if students can be persuadedthat education is for living and not, primarily, for earning a living, there would seem to be no end to the potentialities of development of a very widely diffused andnot merely superficial American culture. To replacethis gospel of getting on by a gospel of self-cultivationmay very well be the duty of those who theorize aboutthe place of education in modern life.There can be no denying the fact that American education today is very largely utilitarian. Even in therarefied atmosphere of the graduate schools, the pursuitof the sacred Ph.D. is, nine times out of ten, not thepursuit of knowledge and the techniques for acquiringmore knowledge but the pursuit of a means to the endof securing a better job. When Whitehead was at theUniversity some years ago, he pointed out that the youngman of today, faced with an inevitable narrowing ofeconomic opportunities, may find his freedom in the cultivation of the non-utilitarian activities. The numberof good jobs may be sharply limited; the number of goodbooks and pictures, of interesting and exciting ideas, ispractically limitless.The marked increase in the size of the student population in England and America has revived the ancientpedagogical controversy as to the efficacy of the lecture-system, hoary relic of the almost book-less Middle Ages.In America lecture courses have grown more and moreunwieldly, and a wish has been father to the thought,statistically supported, that education en masse may beas effective as education) a deux and certainly less expensive. The case for and against the lecture system is neatly presented by the Grants Committee. Indefense of lectures, the Committee points out that,firstly, "the books which could replace them often donot exist or are not accessible"; secondly, "even wherebooks which cover the ground are available, studentsare not always in a position to read them with profit;"and, thirdly, "the living voice may supply somethingwhich no book can." As against the lecture system,the Committee argues, firstly, that "the weaker studentis apt to assume that the lecture courses to which he isdirected will between them cover the whole of the groundwith which he is concerned;" secondly, that "thoughthe lecture can and should have an electric quality whicheven the best text book lacks, by no means all lecturersin fact do ;" and, thirdly, that "even if all lecturers spokewith the tongues of men and of angels, it is a questionwhether the ordinary student is not required to attendtoo many lectures, to mark and learn a great deal morethan he can inwardly digest." The conclusion of thewhole matter is that "Lectures might be fewer and neednot be compulsory if a greater use could be made ofthe seminar or tutorial system. The distinct advantage of this system is that the teacher meets the individual student or a group of students small enough tomake possible a real discussion in which all present cantake part, so that between the minds of student andteacher there is real give and take."In the light of these not too revolutionary remarks, itis of interest to consider some of the attempts that havebeen made in America to circumvent the obvious short comings of an educational system dependent on methodsof forcible feeding. In a number of smaller institutionsof higher learning, attempts have been made, for themost part by Rhodes scholars home-sick for Oxfordto domesticate the Oxford tutorial system. Most ofthese attempts must be set down as misguided. It iscertainly worse than a waste of time and money to takeover an alien system in to to. As anyone who knowsanything about Oxford tutors knows, there are verygood tutors and very bad tutors. The majority, humannature being what it is, are mediocre. What must beperfectly clear from American experiments with tutorialwor-k is that only a small number of academicians cangive it properly and only a small number of studentscan really profit by it. In cases where large universitieshave attempted to impose the tutorial system on theAmerican lecture-system, the results seem hardly worththe expenditure of time and money. The best that canbe said for such a system is that in a large universityit furnishes students a single addition to the small number of members of the faculty with whom he is on speaking terms ! It might be cheaper to finance a series offaculty-student picnics. Clearly, if the tutorial systemis to become a vital part of American life, it must bedomesticated. The program for honors work must becarefully and clearly integrated with the rest of the students' programs; it must be intrusted to only the bestmen available; it must be offered only to superior students.For only a few large and very wealthy universitiesis anything like a tutorial system economically feasible.Most large institutions will have to develop less expensive substitutes. Such a substitute is the device thathas come to be known at the University of Chicago asthe "discussion group" attached to the general coursesin the College. The discussion group has a number ofobvious functions: it gives the student an opportunityto be an active participant in learning and not merely apassive recipient of instruction: it furnishes him an opportunity to clarify and to evaluate the pronouncementsof the lecturer; it is a useful personnel device since thediscussion group leader is in a far better position thanthe student's adviser to size up those students at anyrate who deign to attend his sessions. It furnishes someof the grouf> leaders an attractive forum for the parading of their personal views. Most of these services aredefensible and inevitable, at least with younger spoonfed students.But it is extremely doubtful whether the most important function of the discussion group has not been overlooked or neglected. The functions just mentioned areaimed clearly at the student of moderate capacity, alarge majority in any College class. It is a questionwhether he has not stolen some of the attention due thegenuinely superior student. My experience has persuaded me that ninety-nine times out of a hundred a Cstudent once is a C student always. No amount of pedagogical nurture will enhance the quality of his intelligence or his performance. But, since one of the endsof education is certainly discrimination, or, as WilliamJames told the Radcliffe College girls, how to tell a(Continued on Page 23)THE 1937 REUNIONTHE strings of colored lights have been taken down,the Mitchell Tower flood lights have been truckedback to the store room, the new lumber thatformed the runway into the Hutchinson Court depressionhas been sawed into other shapes for other purposes, thechairs have been taken in off the Mandel Corridor roof,water again bubbles up in the fountain without fear ofbeing broadcast from coast-to-coast on the NBC Mikewhich hung above it, and Slim has picked up all the straypapers that substituted for Indian blankets. The University Sing and the 1937 Reunion have come and gone.Chairman Benjamin Franklin Bills was a most genialhost and a pleasantly efficient supervisor of the manyactivities of the reunion reason. This, in addition tojoining his classmates of 25 years ago in their elaboratefive day program of activities in celebration of their SilverAnniversary, left little time for real estate developing.(A report of the Silver Anniversary of the Class of 1912will be found elsewhere in this issue.)We could truthfully say it was one of the best (if notthe best) reunions in the history of Chicago. But youhave heard that so often through the years that it wouldmean nothing. If you could not be present, you at leastsaw the elaborate program printed in the May Magazineand realized that there would be many interesting anddelightful events during those eleven days. All the fiveyear classes had successful reunions and other classeshad formal and informal gatherings where old friendscalled each other by first, nick or maiden names.The second annual Alumni School upset the mostoptimistic estimates of numbers and popularity. If theSchool is to continue outgrowing its new quarters as ithas in the two years of its existence, it is apparent thatit will need to be moved, via the Field House or StaggField, to the Chicago Stadium before it joins the five-year reunion classes.The five-day School last year was housed in the comfortable lounge of Judson Court with the luncheonsserved in the Judson Court dining room. With an attendance at each session ranging from 138 to 464 and atotal registration of 711, it was apparent the first AlumniSchool had already outgrown its original quarters.This year the School was moved to Mandel Hall, withHutchinson Commons providing the facilities for the evening dinners. Beginning with the opening afternoonsession and an attendance of 303, the subsequent sessionsfinally outgrew Mandel when Friday evening an overflow crowd listened to the addresses from a loud speakerset up in the south lounge of the Reynolds Club.The total enrolment of the School cannot be accuratelygiven because only 2,000 matriculation cards (an optimistic estimate at the time) were printed. But the totalattendance at the twelve sessions — including the fourdinners — was more than 5,500 as compared with 3,400,the total for the 1936 School which included three moresessions. For the benefit of our Certified Public Accountant readers we submit the following detailed reportof attendance: Tuesday Afternoon 303Dinner 246Evening 405 954Wednesday Afternoon 408Dinner 132Evening 650 1190Thursday Afternoon 323Dinner 202Evening 987 1512Friday Afternoon 366Dinner 188Evening 135Q* 1904Total 5,560* Estimated because of lack of matriculation cards.This record bears a more unanimous testimony to thesuccess and popularity of the School than the many complimentary and flattering letters still being received. Inthis particular branch of the Reunion activities a greatdeal of credit is due Milton E. Robinson, Jr., for lettinghis coal sell itself while he presided as, Dean of theAlumni School in a most commendable fashion. If nextwinter chances to- be a severe one, we will not begrudgethe extra tons of coal he delivers to our bin.It's none of our business and it may not belong inthis report but "Milt" is still chuckling over the "Membership Certificate of the Spanish Athletes of America"anonymously mailed to him after the close of the Schoolwhich certifies that "Dean Robbie Robinson" is now amember in good standing of the above association whichwas founded, according to the certificate, by the famousBaron Munchausen. The certificate bears the "signatures" of President F. A. Bricator and Secretary Th. E.Fibber! Proving that "Dean" Robinson can take it aswell as pass it out.One hundred and fifteen alumni from outside the Chicago area were registered in this year's Alumni School.They came from 22 states and one foreign country :John Allison, '27, Ann Arbor, Michigan.T.

Ickes, Secretary of the Interior, could notbe present because of illness but his address was mostacceptably read, at his request, by Charles E. Merriam,Chairman of the Department of Political Science. Harold G. Moulton, President of the Brookings Institutionat Washington, D. C, who was honored with an LL.D.degree at the June Convocation, was the second speakeron the program, (These two addresses will be publishedin a subsequent issue of the Magazine.) The addressof President Robert Maynard Hutchins was climaxedby his closing statement announcing a gift to the University of $550,000 from Mr. Charles R. Walgreen (seeNews of the Quadrangles). Which moved ChairmanSwift to suggest, in his closing remarks, that we all goout and buy ice cream sodas!One other numerous remark inspired by the predomi-nence of Harolds on the Assembly program was madeby James Weber Linn in his Tuesday Alumni Schooldinner address: "This University has an Alma Materand many schools have hymns. I would suggest thatChicago might well adopt the old hymn, 'Hark, the Herald Angels Sing'."It is not news to state that it did not rain the Saturday evening of the Sing. For the twenty-seventh consecutive June, S. Edwin Earle '11 was master of ceremoniesand was capably assisted by Arthur C. Cody '24. PhiDelta Theta and Alpha Delta Phi divided the honors for"quality" and Psi Upsilon came through with the greatest number of members present.NEWS OF THE QUADRANGLESMOST interesting of the developments during thetwo busy weeks of Alumni Reunion and Convocation was the announcement to the AlumniAssembly by President Hutchins of the gift of $550,000by Charles R. Walgreen to establish at the Universitythe Walgreen Foundation for the Study of American Institutions. Mr. Walgreen's gift enabled the Universityto secure an additional sum of $275,000 which had beenoffered conditionally on a matching basis by the Rosenwald Family Association and the total of $825,000 willbe devoted to the purposes of the Foundation. Mr. Walgreen's reasons for creating the Foundation, and the endswhich he expects it to achieve were explained in a statement which he sent to President Hutchins. The statement said :"For many years I have held the conviction that itis a matter of first importance for every American to begiven a thorough education in the principles and backgrounds of our institutions. No one can be a good citizen of any country who does not have an intelligent understanding of its institutions, whether he be an American, an Englishman, or a Russian."I do not believe that our American system is a perfectone. We have perplexing social, economic, and governmental problems, and we have times of stress that putgreat strains on our institutions. But it seems clear tome that the larger the understanding there is of our democracy, the heritage out of which it developed, and thephilosophy of its operation, the nearer we are to solutionof our difficulties."Believing as I do in the promise of our institutions,and believing also in their importance as a primary consideration of education, I have for some time contemplated such a step as I have just taken in creating theFoundation."In establishing this Foundation, I am not interestedin promulgating any special view. I do not desire it tobecome an agency of propaganda for any group. I dodesire a fair and impartial study of our institutions whichwill produce a widespread understanding of their virtuesand their defects. My confidence in our way of life issuch that I believe to understand it will be to cherish it."The Foundation has been established at the University of Chicago because of my conviction that it is one ofthe great universities of the world. Occupying a strategic and commanding position in the center of the UnitedStates, it is able to exert great influence on the thoughtand development of the country."The resources of the Foundation are large enough toenable the University to appoint a first rate scholar to thechair, and also to provide adequate support for assistants,books, and publications. No appointment has been madeto the Walgreen chair as yet but it is hoped that one canbe made before autumn. Research activities of the Foundation, President Hutchins said, should forward the17 • By WILLIAM V. MORGENSTERN, '20, JD '22development of good citizenship and the improvement ofthe public service. >Distinguished Petrologist AppointedAn appointment made since the last issue of the Magazine was that of Dr. Norman L. Bowen, distinguishedpetrologist of the Carnegie Geophysical Laboratory,Washington, D. C.Dr. Bowen has beenmade Charles L.Hutchinson Distinguished Service Professor in the department of geology, effective October 1.This professorshiphas just been established by the Boardof Trustees in recognition of the generous interest in theUniversity of Mr.Hutchinson, w h odied in 1924, and ofhis widow, FrancesK. Hutchinson. Mr.Plutchinson, Chicagobanker, was for manyyears a trustee of theUniversity andserved as its treasurer from 1890 until his death.Hutchinson Hall on the quadrangles, a close copy ofChrist Church Hall at Oxford, was named in his honor.Wychwood, estate of the Hutchinsons at Lake Geneva,Wisconsin, famous wild life sanctuary, was presentedto the University several years ago.One of the world's best known authorities on the nature and origin of rocks, Dr. Bowen was one of the distinguished international group of sixty-two scholars andscientists to receive an honorary degree from HarvardUniversity last September at its Tercentenary Celebration. With his appointment, the number of the Chicagofaculty in the notable group so honored is five, RudolfCarnap, philosopher; Arthur H. Compton, physicist;Leonard E. Dickson, mathematician, and Werner W.Jaeger, classicist, being the others. No other Americaninstitution has more than two faculty men so recognized.President this year of the Mineralogical Society ofAmerica, Dr. Bowen is a member of the Geological Society of America and the Mineralogical Society of GreatBritain. He is a member also of the National Academyof Sciences, the American Philosophical Society, theAmerican Academy of Arts and Sciences, WashingtonAcademy of Sciences, Kaiserlich Deutsche Akademie derNaturforscher, Halle, and the Indian Academy ofNewly appointed petrologist, Norman L.Bowen18 THE UNIVERSITY OFSciences. In 1931 the Geological Society of Londonawarded him the Bigsby medal.Professor Bowen will replace Dr. Albert Johannsen,for twenty-eight years professor of petrology at the University, leader in the field of igneous petrography, whohas published three of the four volumes of a study that isrecognized as the classic of its field. Dr. Johannsenreached the retiring age this winter."Appointment of Dr. Bowen means that the effectiveness of the University's work in the fundamental field ofgeology so long carried by Dr. Johannsen with great distinction will be continued and extended," PresidentHutchins said in his announcement. "Dr. Bowen is anoutstanding scientist, and his appointment is further evidence of the University's determination to obtain leadingscholars for its faculty. In establishing the Charles L;Hutchinson Distinguished Service Professorship, whichDr. Bowen is the first to hold, the Board of Trustees hasacted to express again its appreciation for Mr. Hutchinson's services and friendship to the University over along period of years."Interested particularly in the chemical and physicalcharacteristics of molten materials from which rocks areformed, Dr. Bowen at the Geophysical Laboratory hascarried on extensive experiments' with artificial moltenrocks, work which has not only thrown light on the nature of geological processes but which also has had important bearing on industrial processes. It was on thebasis of his experience with these artificial "melts" thathe was able to take over during the war, when the foreignproduct was unavailable, the scientific direction of theproduction of optical glass for the War Industries Board.He is joint discoverer of Mullite, fundamental constituent of fire clay refractories.Dr. Bowen's early professional career, as field geologistfor the Ontario Bureau of Mines in 1907-10, and of the' Geological Survey of Canada, 1910-12, involved investigation in the Cobalt region of the geology of that famoussilver mining district. From 1912 to 1918, he was assistant petrologist of the Geophysical Laboratory. In1919 he was professor of mineralogy, Queen's University. Since 1920 he has been petrologist of the Geophysical Laboratory.Born at Kingston, Ontario, June 21, 1887, Dr. Bowenhas for many years been a naturalized citizen of theUnited States. He was educated at Queen's Universityand Massachusetts Institute of Technology, from whichhe took his Ph. D. degree in 1912.The University Honors Harold G. MoultonNot given to lavish conferring of honorary degrees,the University at the June Convocation honored one ofits own alumni and former faculty members, Harold G.Moulton, President of the Brookings Institution withthe LL. D. in recognition of his contributions to thestudy of economic problems. At the same Convocation,his daughter, Barbara, received the Bachelor's degree.Six other American universities had previously honoredDr. Moulton for his work as an economist, which includes monumental studies of such complex subjects asthe war debt, and the American capacity to produce andto consume. CHICAGO MAGAZINEChester W. Wright, professor of economics, in pr^lsenting Dr. Moulton for the degree, said :"On behalf of the University Senate I have the hone*to present Harold Glenn Moulton, loyal alumnus of th«University, holder of its degree of Doctor of PhilosophyHarold ©. Moulton and daughter, Barbara, receive degrees fromPresident Hutchins at the June Convocationin Economics, a specialist in the problems of money,banking and transportation, for eleven years a memberof the University's Department of Economics, whence hewas called to organize the Brookings Institution, whichunder his leadership has performed a notable public service in endeavoring to enlighten the citizens of our democracy upon the numerous and complicated economicproblems which beset a troubled world. He is presentedfor the honorary degree of Doctor of Laws."Citation of the degree, conferred by President Hutchins, was: "In recognition of his timely and influentialcontributions to the study of economic problems of national and international importance, and of his constructive leadership as President of the Brookings Institutionsince its organization."No official recognition was taken of Dr. Moulton'savocation, research into Maroon athletics. At the "C"dinner, he combined both interests to make a speechentitled "An Economist Looks at the Athletic Situation."No other alumnus, it may be safely said, knows weightsand prospects better than does Mr. Moulton, and noother alumnus has so fortunate a schedule of Chicagolecture dates, in that uniformly they come the nightbefore an important Maroon football game or a Big Tentrack meet.. The June ConvocationPresident Hutchins gave the address and conferreddegrees on 870 candidates at the Convocation, held intwo sessions so that the families of the students mighthave an opportunity to attend. The 403 higher degreeswere awarded in a morning session, and the 467 Bachelor's degrees in the afternoon. For the academic year,the total of degrees conferred was 1836, plus 14 four-year certificates in medicine. Of this total, 823 degrees;THE UNIVERSITY OF CIIICAGO MAGAZINE 19were Bachelor's; 387 Master's; 167 the Ph. D., and 449were professional, in law and medicine.The Summer Quarter opened on June 14, three daysafter Convocation, with 584 courses offered, mostly atthe Divisional and Professional levels. As usual, thegreat majority of the courses are given by regular members of the faculty. Among the visiting professors isJohn Frederick Vicars Phillips, South African botanistand ecologist, whose reputation is world-wide. Back intime for the opening of the quarter was Leonard D.White, Professor of Public Administration, who forthree years has been absent on leave as a member of theU. S. Civil Service Commission, a position he resignedto return to the University.Faculty ChangesLast month the editorial page noted the year's leaveof absence taken by Fred B. Millett, Associate Professor of English, who will be Visiting Professor of English at Wesleyan University. Eugene Staley, AssistantProfessor of Economics, has been given a year's leaveto join the Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy, Med-ford, Mass. Alfred R. Radcliffe-Brown, Profesor ofAnthropology since October, 1931, a noted ethnologist,has resigned to accept the chair of anthropology at Oxford University, vacant since the death of ProfessorTyler some years ago. The appointment offered themost distinguished position in anthropology in GreatBritain, and one that Dr. Radcliffe-Brown, despite hisentirely satisfactory situation at Chicago, could not wellrefuse. Born and educated in England, where he hadtaught, he came to the University from the University ofSydney, Australia. Before his departure from the Midway, his colleagues and students in the department gavea dinner in his honor and presented him with a speciallyprinted volume of papers of eight of the students whohave done work under him at Chicago. Lucy C. Driscoll, Assistant Professor of Art, has been granted ayear's leave of absence to study in China on a Guggenheim fellowship.Summer ResearchObjectives ranging from whales to pre-Christian civilization are occupying the attention of research workers,whose summer quarter expeditions began as soon as thespring quarter ended. Dr. C. W. McEwan, field director of the Syrian-Hittite expedition of the Oriental Institute, has left for the excavations at Tayinat, nearAntioch, in north Syria. He will direct the work of 200natives in digging out the remains of an ancient Hittitecapital. Dr. Eugene M. K. Geiling, Chairman of theDepartment of Pharmacology, left for Rose Island,Queen Charlotte Island, where he will spend a monthwith two graduate students, L. L. Robbins and MissFrances Robbins, collecting pituitary glands of whalesfor laboratory study of their functions. Dr. Geilingbears commissions from nearly a score of other institutions to send other organs of whales for research purposes. On his return from Rose Harber, Dr. Geilingwill continue either to the lower St. Lawrence or Churchill, on Hudson Bay, where white whales arefound.A party of seven women and ten men graduate students in anthropology is at Metropolis, 111., to continuethe Illinois pre-history survey of Indian culture. Theyare excavating the Kincaid mounds, the largest andprobably the most important in the state. Dr. ThorneDeuel, research associate in anthropology, is in charge ofthe party, and Mrs. Frank H. Blackburn, wife of theexpedition's photographer, is chaperon of the group.Alex Spoehr, graduate student in anthropology, is amember of the Field Museum expedition to Ackmen,Colo., and two women graduate students, Doriane Wool-ley and Catherine Spencer, are with the University ofArizona ethnological expedition to Chaco Canyon, Arizona. Robert E. Park, professor emeritus of sociology,leaves this week for investigation in Brazil. Two scoreof faculty members will be in Europe this summer, engaged in research projects of various kinds.The 1937 Harris InstituteThe thirteenth annual Institute of the Norman WaitHarris Memorial Foundation for the study of International Relations willbe in progress theweek of June 21 to28. This year's Institute is devoted tothe study of geographic aspects of international relations.Professor Charles C.Colby of the department of geography ischairman of the In-s t i t u t e committeethis year.Three eminentgeographers, D r.Isaiah Bowman,President of JohnsHopkins University ;Pierre Denis, of theLeague of Nationssecretariat; and Professor Harlan H. Barrows, Chairmanof the University's Department of Geography, will givethe series of public lectures which are a feature of theInstitute. Round table sessions of the Institute, held forthe benefit of a group of invited authorities, and devotedto technical aspects of the Institute topic, will be led byDerwent Whittlesey, Associate Professor of Geography,Harvard University ; Richard Hartshorne, AssistantProfessor of Geography, University of Minnesota ; Preston E. James, Professor of Geography, University ofMichigan, and Robert S. Platt, Associate Professor ofGeography, University of Chicago.The subject of the Institute will be limited to consideration of the lands about the Atlantic Basin, eliminatingthe geographic aspects of international relations in otherparts of the world, particularly the Pacific.The Norman Wait Harris Memorial Foundation forInternational Relations was established by gift of a fundCharles L. Colby heads the 1937 Institute of the Harris Foundation20 THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINEin 1923 to the University of Chicago for "the promotionof a better understanding on the part of American citizens of the other peoples of the world, thus establishing abasis for improved international relations and a moreenlightened world-order." Since 1926, as part of theprogram of the Foundation, twelve institutes have beenheld for the study of various international problems.Dean Redfield ReturnsRobert Redfield, Dean of the Division of Social Sciences, is back from a three-month trip to the isolatedlittle village of Agua Escondida, where he, his wife, andtheir three-year oldson lived for nineweeks. The journeywas no noveltv toMrs. Redfield,daughter of Professor Emeritus RobertE. Park, for shehas accompanied herhusband on severalsuch expeditions.The study wasfinanced by the Carnegie Institution aspart of its comprehensive survey of theethnology of CentralAmerica, and DeanRedfield's particularinterest was the relationship between the culture of the descendants of the17th century Spanish settlers and the Indians. TheSpanish group, known as Ladinos, have moved into theparticular section only in the last half century. Althoughthe Ladinos are the superior race, there exists betweenAem and the Indians no attitude of race prejudices, andalthough there is economic competition, all is amity. Somenews of the Spanish revolution had penetrated to the section, which is on a main highway, but the villagers hadnever heard of the Dionne quintuplets, and eagerly readillustrated magazines which carried their pictures.Herbert E. SlaughtHerbert E. Slaught, Professor Emeritus of Mathematics, died at his home, 5548 Kenwood ave., on May21, after an extended illness. He had reached the re-Dean Redfield returns from Guatemala tiring age in 1931. Two years ago he broke his hip jna fall and since had been confined to hospital bed andhis home. Dr. Slaught was interested primarily in teaching, and since 1892, when he began his career at Chicago as an instructor on the first faculty, he was thtfriend and guide of countless students in the department.His interest in students led him to assist in the organization of the Board of Recommendations — forerunnerof the present Board of Vocational Guidance and Placement — and direct that agency for four years. He alsowas active in the Alumni Association, particularly theAssociation of the Doctors of Philosophy, which he wasinstrumental in organizing.One of the founders of the American MathematicalAssociation, he was its president in 1919. From 1912to 1918 he was editor and manager of the AmericanMathematical Monthly, and he also served as co-editorof the Carus Mathematical Monographs. Dr. Slaughtwas the editor and co-author of a series of textbooks inmathematics for schools and colleges.Born in Watkins, N. Y., July 21, 1861, he received hisA. B. and M. A. degrees from Colgate University, andhis Ph. D. from the University of Chicago in 1898. Following two years of study abroad after taking his Doctorate, he returned to the University, and in 1908 attained the rank of professor. He is survived by adaughter, Katherine, of Chicago.NotesPresident Hutchins gave the National Commencement address, yearly program of the National Broadcasting Company, over the blue network the night of June18. . . .

BURNETTEWITH the advent of the. final examination season,University athletics have been at a virtual standstill since the third week of May. Nothingwhich we did not predict occurred during the last fortnight with the exception that the tennis squad had aslightly harder time than anticipated in returning the BigTen cup to the University. But, the boys succeeded.The track squad lived up to expectations by doingvery little against the much stronger Western Conferencecompetition. Baseball and the minor sports were finishedby the time the last issue of the Magazine went to press.At Ann Arbor during the tennis matches, John Sho-strum won the fifth flight singles title and, teamed withJohn Krietenstein, took the third doubles bracket. Chester Murphy in the fourth flight won the only otherMaroon singles title. Highly-touted Norbert Burgessand Norman Bickel won the first doubles crown. Thebig upset of the meet" came when Robert Nilhousen, OhioState's uncertain boy who for the last two years has defeated Northwestern's Russell Ball and who lost last yearto Bickel, defeated Bickel in the first singles flight. Bickeldid succeed, however, in eliminating the top rankingWildcat, George Ball.William Murphy was defeated by Marvin Wachmanof Northwestern after he had downed Wachman in twoprevious meets. Captain Burgess, despite his apparentsuperior ability, was unable to overcome Russel Ball andlost again in the second round of the third singles flight.After seemingly a number of bad breaks, the team hasstarted practice for the National Collegiate tournamentJune 21 in Germantown, Pa. The doubles stars of lastyear, Burgess and Bickel, have an excellent opportunityto win the national doubles, but results for the singlescannot be predicted with Bickel and Shostrum (number14 national singles last year) playing as inconsistently asthey have all* season. Too, Grermantown's grass courtsmay prove to be a handicap that the boys will not be ableto overcome.Michigan captured the track meet during the week-endof May 22. With Maroon hopes pinned on George Halcrow, Mathew Kobak, Carl Frick (100 and 220 yarddashes), and Robert Cassels (pole vault), only Halcrowand Kobak came through. Halcrow followed the pace ofnow professional and former Midwayite, Ray Ellinwood,by winning the 440 yard dash in :47.8, the fastest timewhich he had ever done in the sprint, despite a muddytrack. Kobak placed third in the running broad jump.Captain Beal was incapacitated by a sore leg and consequently was not able to lend a hand to a team whichbadly needed recruits^Halcrow and Kobak were among the members of theBig Ten team which went to the Pacific Coast for theNational Collegiate Track Meet, but they failed to placein their respective events, the time on the 440 being:47.1.There has been a bright spot in the track season, how ever. Although not in major competition, it is worthnoting. At the Southeastern A. A. U. meet at Memphisin May, John Davenport (Cedar Rapids, Iowa), Mc-Kenath Sponsel (Gary, Ind.), and Robert Wasem (FortDodge, Iowa), all freshmen, scored points in six eventsagainst some of the South's best performers.Davenport placed first in the broad jump and theothers placed either second or third in the hurdles, 400meter, and high jump events. At present some of theseboys are capable of defeating members of the varsitysquad and should enable the Maroons to make a bettershowing than last year. Another freshman, Russell Parsons (Davenport), won the high hurdles in the IowaState Interscholastic Meet before entering the University.In winding up the year's sports, a flash comes fromthe Athletic Department concerning the 1939-1940 football schedule which holds several items of interest tomost of our readers. There has been a change in theUniversity- Illini relationship for 1940 when the stateschool for the first time in forty years will not be aMaroon foe. The rivalry is one of the oldest in Big Tenhistory, but the reduced and less competitive programadopted for Chicago has necessitated this move.Harvard has been added to the list of visitors for 1939— to"' follow the coming exchange games with Yale.Northwestern, on the other hand, has one of the heaviestschedules of all time, meeting Ohio State, Wisconsin,Illinois, Minnesota, Iowa, Purdue, and Notre Dame.The Maroon slate for 1939 reads:October 14. Harvard at ChicagoOctober 21. Michigan at ChicagoNovember 11. Ohio State at ChicagoNovember 25. Chicago at Illinois.Twenty-five major letters and ten Old English wereawarded for the spring quarter, with the following out-of-town boys winning majors: Milton Bernard, Boston;Harvey Lawson, Fort Madison, Iowa ; Robert Reynolds,Garvity, Iowa ; and Carl Fric]< of Little Rock, Ark.Minors included: John Busby of Tulsa; Harold LaBell,Salt Lake City; and Richard Wasem of Fort Dodge,Iowa. i j ; jjjljFloyd Stauffer, Psi Upsilon, won the annual C-Ban-quet award for the Athlete with the highest scholasticrating. Floyd, you may recall, is one of the smoothestdivers in college circles. * * * ;In closing, it seems fitting that in looking over theyear's record of ups and downs in sports (with a predominance of downs admitted) we should recall the newathletic policy which has come to the front in the University. As stated by Coach Shaughnessy, the trend isagainst "professional" tendencies. I sincerely hope thatthe Midway may be the pioneer in bringing college sportsto the point where they form an entertaining and valuable part of the curriculum rather than a series of dog-eat-dog inter-school conflicts, existing primarily for gate receipts and drawing prestige for prospective students.211 91 2'S TWENTY-FIFTH REUNIONTHE Class of 1912 established an all-time high forclass reunions both in attendance and enthusiasm atits recent Silver Anniversary. Long known as one of themost active classes ever graduated, its members againproved their loyalty to the University and to their classby the remarkable turnout to all the events of a galaweek.The festivities began Thursday evening with a get-together party at the class suite at the Chicago BeachHotel. Early arrivals were welcomed and telegraphicreports received on the progress of the famous MidnightSpecial due to arrive from points north, east, south, andwest.Many stops to pick up passengers had been made bythe Jubilee Special on its coast-to-coast run: the BobbyBairds boarded the flashing streamliner in California,and were on the platform to greet Winifred Winne Con-kling when she stepped aboard at Oklahoma City; JohnElmer Thomas missed the train at Texas but, ratherthan be disappointed, hopped a plane and was on handfor all parties ; Mrs. Mina Devres Watkins with herhandsome young son joined the Twelvers at Sioux City,Iowa. Not to let the West outdo them, the Eastern faction hailed the second section of the Midnight Special ;and when it pulled into Chicago, out stepped Ted Cush-ing from Newark, N. J. ; the Dick Teichgraebers fromPelham, N. Y. ; Professor Paul MacClintock fromPrinceton ; Margaret Tingley Hobbs and daughter fromPennsylvania ; Zuke Kassulker from Cleveland ; Ruth Reticker from Washington, D. C. ; Dr. and Mrs. SumnerMerrill Wells and Miss Elizabeth Pen-in from GrandRapids, Michigan ; Jimmie and Ellen McNeish Dymondfrom Honor, Michigan ; and Chester W. Slifer fromBunker Hill, Illinois.Friday evening there followed the Silver AnniversaryBanquet and Revue "Digging Up the Past" in the hotel ballroom. Saturday a Progeny Party was held inthe spacious north lounge of the Reynolds Club, with abuffet supper and program. This was an innovation inReunion parties and gave the Class an opportunity topresent its future "Greats." Forty of the younger set,ranging from three to twenty years in age, were presentand did justice to the proud parents. After the supper,the Class went in a body to the University Sing, wherea special section was reserved, and later ended the evening with refreshments served at the headquarters suite.Sunday concluded the series of events with a 10:30breakfast in the Chicago Beach Solarium, followed byan all day picnic at the picturesque home, at OgdenDunes, of Mrs. Mayme Logsdon, one of the Class nowon the University faculty.As reported by Charles M. Rademacher, Class Secretary, the roll showed 490 members at the time of graduation in 1912. Today the roll stands at 410, reducedthrough deaths and the loss of some whose present addresses are unknown. Eighty-four of those who receiveddiplomas in 1912, or over 20 per cent of the present classroll, were in attendance at one or more of the reunion22THE UNIVERSITY OFevents. An equal number of husbands, wives, and children accompanied them, bringing the total attendanceto 165, believed to be a record for future classes to "shootat." More than twenty other Twelvers who had sentword they were coming found the early reunion dateconflicted with other school commencements and wereunable to attend.It may be of interest not only to Twelvers but toother readers of the Magazine planning future reunionprograms to know the response to the individual eventsduring the four-day festivities : Thursday's Get-togetherand Obstacle Bridge — 40; Friday's Jubilee Dinner andP.W.A. Show— 97; Saturday's Progeny Party — 114;Sunday's Breakfast — 50; Sunday's Picnic at OgdenDunes — 62.The Class of 1912 has not failed in the twenty-fiveyears since graduation to have two or three get-togetherparties each year and has kept constantly in touch withall members. Those bonds of friendship made on thecampus have actually increased throughout the years.And so the members feel they have passed another milestone and an enjoyable and happy one for all. They arealready at work on a reunion paper primarily for thosewho were not fortunate enough to be with them on thecampus this June.Paul Clifford StetsonPaul Clifford Stetson, '07, AM '17, superintendent ofthe Indianapolis public schools, died in that city onJune first. Following the example of his father, whowas president of the Kalamazoo College, Paul Stetsonchose the field of education for his life work and was notlong in making his influence felt in educational circles.After leaving the University in 1907, he moved Lip-ward in rapid strides by way of Bangor, Michigan (principal, 1907); Big Rapids, Michigan (principal, 1908;superintendent, 1909-11 ) ; Grand Rapids High School(principal 1911-18); Muskegon, Michigan (superintendent of schools, 1918-21) ; and Dayton, Ohio (superintendent of schools, 1921-30).In 1930, Mr. Stetson became superintendent of schoolsat Indianapolis, Indiana, which position he held until hisdeath at the age of fifty-two. The year he assumed hisduties at Indianapolis he became a member of the Indiana State Board of Education. Previously he hadbeen a member of the staff which made an educationalsurvey of New York City (1924), and in 1928 assistedin a survey of the West Virginia schools.Mr. Stetson was honored with the highest elective office in the field of education when, in 1933, he was electedpresident of the Department of Superintendence of theNational Education Association. He received an LL.D.from Butler University (Indianapolis) in 1932 and wasa trustee of Franklin College (Indiana) at the time ofhis death. During his life, Mr. Stetson was active inmany national and state educational groups as well ascivic organizations in his own city.Mr. Stetson was a brother of Mrs. Trevor Arnett,wife of the former president of the Rockefeller GeneralEducation Board and at one time vice-president and CIIICAGO MAGAZINE 23business manager of the University of Chicago. Mr.Stetson is survived by his wife, Mrs. Annie LouiseCrosby '08.A Philosophy of Life(Continued from Page 10)laws developed those gifts and called them into full play.Is it too much to hope that the United States may yetachieve this ideal ? Perhaps it may do so if you and yoursuccessors can see and hold fast that which is good. Ifyou can, you will earn the blessing of your Alma Mater,and at the last the gratitude of your country.And Then Dr. Harper Nodded../7(Continued from Page 12)an individual whom the boys respect and admire greatly.Mr. Bachman, who has just completed his second yearon the Midwav, came to Chicago with a brilliantbackground of college and professional band experience.For many years, the Bachman Band, a professional company, toured the United States, playing at popular winter resorts in Florida, and at summer resorts in NewJersey. Under his leadership, the University of ChicagoBand has developed rapidly as a concert organization.When asked as to his plans for the future of this group,Mr. Bachman made the following statement: "It is mydesire to make the band a pleasant, healthful, and cultural activity for the members, and to build up an organization which will be able to provide suitable musicfor the student body and community at large for theoccasions at which the band makes its appearances."The band is today, as it was at first, a purely voluntary activity for which neither credit nor remunerationis given, although, for a period of several years, themembers received remission of tuition for a time, andlater, cash. Much as was the case in the early days,the band is today a football band in the autumn, and aconcert organization during the winter and spring. Itmakes about thirty public appearances on the campuseach year, including all intercollegiate football and basketball games, as well as the regular band concerts inthe spring. The University of Chicago Band, of seventymembers, has just closed the most outstanding year ofits history on a campus which is rapidly becoming "bandconscious."In My Opinion(Continued from Page 14)good man when you see one, it would seem advisableto furnish the superior student a type of discussion groupfor which he alone is suited, a special group in whichgenuine and profitable discussion over a particular fieldmight be enjoyed by the best leaders and the best students available. Such a procedure is alien, of course,to our naive notions of educational equalitarianism. Butin terms of its probable results, such a procedure mightbe defended, even though it meant a diminution in theamount of coddling of the eternally mediocre.24 THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINEfor Economical Transportation'.CHEVROLET,SALES SERVICEJ.

BakerTHE STRAINS of "When WeCome To The End of APerfect Day" seemed to fit themood of Mr. Jack Davis ofSeattle, Washington, and hisparty as they motored downfrom Mt. Baker that invigorating Sunday afternoon. Andwhen Everett highway finallywas reached they were stillrecounting the experiences ofthat care-free week-end.Then, with the startling suddenness of a lightning flash,the scene changed. BANG! Theleft front tire had blown out. The steeringwheel jerked itself out of Mr. Davis' control.^Off the road they shot. The unseen demon ofmotoring safety had done its "dirty work."Luckily the blow-out had not occurred upin the mountains. As Mr. Davi s walked a milefor a towing truck, it's a safe bet that he resolved never again to take his tires for granted.I would say that today's high speeds are atriple threat to tire and motoring safety. Theheat generated inside all tires by faster driving conditions may cause rubber and fabricto pull apart, constituting danger number one.This separation leads to the formation of atiny heat blister . . . dangernumber two, because youcan't see this blister growing bigger and BIGGER.Sooner or later this blisterreaches a point where itweakens the tire andBANG! A blow-out! Andif you escape this thirdthreat, consider yourselfvery lucky.
