It hasbeen a source of pride to countlessalumni who have had a chance tocompare the homogeneity of thebuildings with those of other majoruniversities, most of which are anappalling aggregation of everything,beginning with the early Pullman period, and earlier.Some of these institutions have desperately tried to achieve unity, preserving only a few shrines of antiquity, such as, for example, NassauHall at Princeton, or Crouse Collegeat Syracuse, or Main Hall at Vassar(not to ignore the ladies).But following the lead set by Chicago we have, to cite a few, suchexamples of architectural unity andspirit as Leland Stanford, or Duke.Then comes this shocking proposalto construct a building that would beentirely fitting for one of our greataircraft or automobile companies, butwhich in contrast to the 1925 sketch,and to the rest of the campus, issimply grotesque.Messrs. Hollabird and Root shouldhave no difficulty in selling theirplans to any one of a number ofindustries, flanked by the splendid,ultra modern factories designed bythe Austin Company (to name butone good industrial designer).The justification, as stated, is that"the 1946 version will have officesas high as the tower in the originalplan." That is pretty feeble.Elsewhere in the same issue of theMagazine, reference is made to thespeed of the growth of the ivy, whichhas contributed so much to makingthe campus a thing of beauty. If this plan goes through, whichHeaven forbid, it is to be hoped thatsome means may be developed byour botanists to make the ivy growmany times as thick, so as to conceal this factory building so far aspossible, and as quickly as possible.W. A. McDermid, '07New York, N. Y.Please don't let them toss that"cracker box" at the head of Fifty-eighth Street and in the center ofthe quadrangle! Functional? Yes.Economical of space and originalbuilding cost? Yes. Efficient? Yes.But aesthetic? NO! NO! It wouldmar an effect striven for these pastsixty three years.Let there be a tower — a greatGothic tower, tall and slender, higherthan the towers of Billings and Harper, taller than the chapel tower,more simply beautiful than Hutchinson. Let the tower be the center ofthe new administration building.Wasteful? Somewhat. But thetower could house offices of thedeans, a small auditorium largeenough to seat the faculty chamberThis sketch was enclosedTior congress or senate or whateverit is called. And it could containspace for broadcasting and televisionstudios, and, maybe, the Chancellor'sgreat office. The tower might be amemorial to those of the U. of C.who died in World War II if this ideais not too conventionally provincialfor the ultra elite of the campus.I am quite serious. I shall neverforget my first glimpse of the pinnacles and towers of Cobb and Harper rising majestically above thedwarfed apartment dwellings alongFifty-eighth when I came to theU. of C. in the autumn of '22 — a boyunused to beauty but in whom beautycame to reside as year by year -themellow stateliness of Gothic ivy covered limestone walls, buttresses, andtowers wore itself into my soul. Thebuildings — the beautiful Gothicbuildings — meant more to me, forthe most part, than much of my formal teaching.

Editor.INDIAN SUMMERBy the Dean Emeritus of Students,Division, Biological Sciences"Time rolls his ceaseless course." Each year he bringssome of our colleagues to the date line of "Emeritus" —"served out his time with honor." This autumn bringsit to Charles Henry Swift of the Department of Anatomy,professor, doctor, teacher, investigator, member of theUniversity through 47 years. The anatomist, botanist,historian, ornithologist is best known to most of us asjust friendly Charlie Swift.Our life is the life of our ancestors continued and abrief account of his family will throw some light onCharlie's life with us. He was born in old Kentucky inthe middle of the blue grass region near the town ofEminence; perhaps the name of his native village imposed on him the obligation of growing up to his heightof six feet, four inches.His father's family was of English (Lincolnshire) stock;his grandfather was teacher and city librarian of Lexington renowned for his encyclopedic knowledge; Charlie'sfather was a lawyer, (LLB — Lexington) and a doctor,(MD — Lexington) and an Artillery officer in the Confederate army serving with Bragg (Murfreesboro) JohnH. Morgan (The Raider) and with W. C. P. Brecken-ridge (Sophronisba's father).He practiced medicine for a while but inclinationmade him a student and teacher and he became professor of all the sciences in Christian College at Millers-burg. His father left him a farm, and love of the outdoors led him to make it his home. There he met and married a young woman on the adjoining farm, andthere Charlie was bom.His mother, Helen Kelley, asserted positively that theKelleys were of Irish stock, and Charlie admits the possibility. Charlie spent his quiet early years, breathing thelarge air of the country, attracted by wild flowers andtrees, hearing the bird calls, and endowed with a compelling affectivity toward colleges and medicine, historyand encyclopedic knowledge. It is interesting to seeCharlie's ancestral tendencies coming out in his careerhere.Charlie attended the Louisville public schools and asort of collegiate high school affiliated with the Old University of Louisville which awarded him a degree of A.B.on graduation. The festination of the University of Chicago toward the award of this degree still leaves it wellbehind Charlie's record! The family had the Chautauquahabit in the nineties and came so much under the spellof William Rainey Harper that they moved to Chicagoso that the children could attend the new University.He entered as a studentin 1899 and chose historyas his chief study, withLatin and Greek as accessories, receiving a second bachelor's degree in1903 and a third (S.B.)in 1906. The sciences hadled him to botany, medicine and anatomy. Hewas a fellow in anatomyin 1908-09, and startedresearch on the history ofthe germ cells in the developing animal embryo.He took his M.D. at Rush(1910) and immediatelyreturned to research and teaching. He took his Ph.D. in1913, with anatomy as his principal and botany as hissecondary subject. Charlie, the year he received hisM.D.— 1910In 1914 Charles H. Swift published his first paper on"Origin and Early History of the Primordial Germ Cellsin the Chick" American Journal of Anatomy. The nature of this research may be briefly stated as follows:Development of all animal bodies starts from one cellin which are contained all the inherited qualities andcharacters of the species and family. It is continued bysuccessive divisions of that cell and its progeny, duringwhich differentiation and specialization of cells producetissues and organs. But in becoming a specialized tissuecell, each cell gives up the power of becoming somethingelse — especially the power of growing into an entire body,which the first three cells (in the human embryo) had.But one group of cells never gives up any of its inheritedpowers: these are the germ cells, located finally in thegonads (after five days of development in the chick).Where were they in the first four days? This was hisproblem. Using Bensley's new histological techniques, he identified them at each stage and followed their history inmany series of sections of embryos in each of those 4days. It is a fascinating history. He found their earliestnidus. Then when the first blood vessels were formedthey moved over toward them and climbed into them,then they went everywhere with the circulating blood.At the end of 4 days (in the chick) they began to climbout again in one place — the site of the future gonad,which they form.Appreciation of this work was immediate and general.Within a year it was famous in Europe and America and(unlike many biological papers) it has remained a classicever since, more than a third of a century. Other papersfollowed along associated lines and together they constitute a permanent contribution to fundamental biologicalscience.— B. C. H. H.56 THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINEHe was always an excellent teacher maintaining highstandards for his own work and encouraging students toset high standards for theirs. They have been appreciative and grateful. Now wherever he goes about theU.S.A. some local doctor (a former student) is likelyto find him and give him a cordial welcome. He taughtnot only form and structure but also gave lectures(through two quarters each year) and directed investigation in the history of anatomy and medicine.Charlie Swift has maintained his connection withbotany and has been a member of their examination committees for higher degrees. His business ability and reliability led to his appointment as secretary of his department in charge of its business affairs, where his unfailingcheerfulness and optimism contributed greatly to harmonious cooperation.But always the out-of-doors was calling Charlie. Verymany of our colleagues and fellow citizens of Chicagohave found it a privilege to go with him on excursions.And many owe much of what they know of birds andtrees and wild flowers to his interest and inexhaustibleknowledge of them.In 1920 he married Juliana Streid, sister of a formerstudent. With him, she has made their home a placeof whole-hearted and cheerful hospitality.From the beginning his genial optimistic nature madefriends of all Charlie's associates and students, andthrough all the years that feeling of friendship and affection has not changed except as it deepened. All of usjoin in the wish that the Indian summer of his life maybe long and warm and colorful and filled with as muchhappiness as Julia and he have given others.— Basil C. H. Harvey.MENSA ROTUNDABy the "Dean" of the Quadrangle Club RoundTable and professor of business lawCharlie Swift is a regular customer of the QuadrangleClub round table. He is a diligent supporter of and contributor to the delights of that institution.One whose chief knowledge of Dr. Swift is in thisconnection cannot, of course, appraise the doctor's scholarship in his professional field, comment upon his educational contributions, nor estimate his influences uponsome fifteen generations of students. But there are otherfacets of his character which glisten only in the lay atmosphere of the mensa rotunda, as Charlie is fond of callingitThere is the man's amazing and precise memory foreven the most obscure items encountered in his vastreadings in the history of medicine. Nor are the mattershere indicated technical. They range from Amsterdamthrough the Charleses (great, small, Bald and Simple) ;the Fuggers and their golden connivings; the Gregorys,Johns, Leos, (and other Popes) ; the Philips of Spainand Macedon, and on in true encyclopedic style throughAristotle, Galen, Hippocrates and Socrates to Zenobia, Queen of Palmyra (and I doubt not, when and the patronymic of her steward et al), the Genus Zygadenus,and zyxomma — the end of the line.Tap this reservoir when and where you will, push anumber or a date or a name at random. Instantly therepours forth a pleasing stream of information — accurate,precise, in full color and detail and, withal an inimitablestyle, sparkling manner and inexhaustible humor.Speaking of Zygadenes, they are toward the end of along list of terms botanical. A casual country-side ridewith Charlie one summer day provoked comment concerning the immediate flora: flowers, weeds, trees andshrubs (common or rare), leaf -shapes, pod-shapes, seednumbers, flower compositions and I know not what —all by strict Linnean (one trusts) designations.On the same jaunt the birds did not escape: who firstfound them and where, their habits, plumage, nesting,migrations, courting, mating, and even discernment ofthe faintest identifying notes.Most of this type of information Charlie has accumulated on pedestrian field trips in the Chicago region overa period of some fifty years. This has also lead to anintimate knowledge of roads, streams (dry and running),gullies, glacial beds — even identification of every railroadtrack casually encountered, together with an astonishinglot of information about the railroads themselves.Thus, briefly, one man's attempt to record his impressions of some aspects of one of the latest emeriti of themensa rotunda; an attempt to explain why that man'slife has been richer, fuller, and so much more livablebecause he has known Charlie Swift.—J. F. Christ, J.D. '20.RECESSBy a classmateand professor of geologyAround the turn of the century when ten-thirty toeleven was a half hour recess, the students used to congregate in groups in front of Cobb to relieve their mindsof excess pressure. In the center on one such group,towering over everybody else, was commonly a lanky,light-complexioned youngster of exceptional vivacity. Aneophyte on the campus soon learned that that wasCharlie Swift.Charlie's flowing wit and shrewd commentaries werejust what the newcomer needed to bolster any falteringcourage, for here was a more experienced comrade whoseemed to know everything and yet was obviously happyin the University set-up. Apparently the University wasnot such a dreadfully serious place as it had seemed atfirst.As quarter succeeded quarter, Charlie's infectious optimism often raised his friends spirits when the way seemedhard; after all, troublesome things were not so bad when{Concluded on Page 22)ONE MAN'S OPINIONBy WILLIAM V. MORGENSTERN, '20, J.D. '22Speaking of GothicPublication of the perspective of the new Administration Building has stirred anew the discussion of the meritsof the University's architecture. Architecture has neverbeen one of the more successful and imaginative of theapplied arts in America, and certainly some of its worstexamples are to be found in academic buildings. Thereare those who think the Midway Gothic illustrates thiscondition and others who are vehement, devoted advocates of the city gray.At the time when the University was only a fantasticscheme of Dr. Harper's, the contemporary styles of architecture were more awful than usual. Originally the ideaseems to have been to adopt a Romanesque style for theUniversity as the means of avoiding the atrocities of thenineties.There were some original and creative architects aboutthe country, notably Sullivan of Chicago, but there isno evidence that the founding fathers thought of gambling with him. They did, however, think in terms ofconsistency. When the plans for the University were beingmade, considerable thought was given to a general schemeof arrangement that provided for expansion, and as aresult each of the major sections of the University todayis a roughly contiguous group. There is virtue also inthe general uniformity of feeling and material, whichhas been preserved except for the imperishable temporarybuildings, Lexington, Ellis, and Ricketts.Even casual inspection of the buildings is enough toshow that the term "Collegiate Gothic," applied to thequadrangles, is very elastic, covering everything fromMitchell Tower to the 1313 Building south of the Mid-Harper Library ... a noble hall way. It even seems broad enough to include the Administration Building, which will have a limestone exterior.The two examples of the true Collegiate Gothic areMitchell Tower, lifted bodily from Magdalen College,Oxford, and Hutchinson Commons, a fairly close replicaof Christ Church Hall of Oxford. All the rest of thebuildings were designed in this country, and of these,Harper Library probably is closest in spirit to the English.Elsewhere considerable liberty, if not license, has beentaken. Some of the adaptations are successful, such asSwift and Bond; some definitely are not. The 1313Building with its false chimneys, is something that givesthe impression of a colonial house blown out of scale.Classics is a fussy version, with more ornamentation plastered around its exterior than can be found on a birthday cake. There are such anachronisms as the greenhouseon the top floor of the old Botany Building, an inspiration that not only was objectionable to the purist butalso was quickly demonstrated to be absolutely impractical.Interior planning of the buildings often is pretty bad.The textbook example is Harper Library, as successivelibrarians have lamented. Harper runs horizontally forapproximately a city block, and its main lending deskis at one end of the third floor, so that an attendant mayhave to make a round trip of about a quarter of a milethrough the stacks to fill a call slip. The third floor reading room is a noble hall, but generations of students havecomplained bitterly of its inadequate lighting, a problemthat still baffles the illumination engineers.There is another building, comparatively new, in whichthe unwary unexpectedly encounter a flight of stairs astep inside the entrance. In the Social Science Buildinglifted bodily7THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINEthe ante-rooms of a row of offices on the first floor relymorning or night on the efficiency of CommonwealthEdison.Cobb's interior is bleak; the most dextrous use of paintscarcely softens its forbidding aspect. Foster Hall is cutup into curious cubbyholes that require equally curiousarrangements of furniture, affording such choices as having the bed diagonally across the room and the dresserin front of the window.The Law School is a vast vault of waste space. In theCollege Residence Halls, the long corridors, with roomson either side, are noisy and obviously badly ventilated.In most of the hospitals of the University Clinics no provision was made for separation of patient and visitortraffic.The answer that is given to such carping observationsis that the University always has managed to operateand at the present time is meeting, with only minor inconveniences, the demands of a record breaking registration and an unprecedented pressure on such facilitiesas the Clinics. It is still open to question whether all thiscould not be done more efficiently if architects generallyknew more about the needs of an academic plant andworked out some original means of providing for them.Faculty consultation doesn't seem to be the answer, forsome of the more badly chopped-up interiors have resulted when the professors engaged in drawing floorplans.One of the great difficulties about an academic building is that it is practically imperishable, and so an academic plant is even harder to improve than a curriculum.The economics of university operation, at least of those. --¦ ¦. ¦.:¦¦,..>-~<ui$! ¦a. *hi3fS0k) fu br**- 'Ste. 11— :¦ - T >.L Green Hall Swift Hall . . . successful adaptationwhich are privately supported, does not permit the luxury of replacement. To remodel the interior of Good-speed Hall a decade ago cost considerably more than theentire building had originally.The limited amount of money generally available toprivate universities often has had an unfortunate effecton the efficiency of buildings, and probably will havemore in the future. The architects sometimes have beenforced to unhappy expedients to get the space with theamount of money available. Frequently such compromisesas reduction in size are required by building costs, andperpetual inadequacy for the purpose results. Cost definitely is going to have an effect on the exterior of mostfuture University buildings; there will be little to sparefor gargoyles or towers. Some of the new types of buildings, such as the nucleonics laboratories, will not beadapted to traditional design, either. A clerestory windowis not appropriate to the atomic age.Foster has cubbyholesLaw School a vast vault of spacePERCY HOLMES BOYNTON1876-1946Percy Holmes Boynton,Professor Emeritus of English and one of Chicago'smost popular facultymembers, died at the ageof seventy at New London, Connecticut on July8, 1 946. After his retirement, Professor Boyntonspent most of his time athis home in Mystic, Connecticut, with a yearaway (1 944-45) to teachat the University ofPuerto Rico.Coming to the University in 1 903, Percy Boynton took part in many Percy H. Boyntonworthy extracurricular activities. He was instrumentalin setting up and operating Chicago's original Round Table broadcasts; initiated the plan of bringing the Chicago Symphony Orchestra to the quadrangles each yearfor a concert series; served as president of the Quadrangle Club and on the Board of the University of Chicago Settlement.He is survived by his wife and two sons: Holmes andDamon, the latter on the faculty of Cornell Universityat Ithaca.One spring vacation a good many years ago I made amotor trip with Percy Boynton. He was going to hissummer home in Connecticut, I was going to NewYork, and we had decided to make the trip together inhis car as far as Pittsburgh. Only as far as Pittsburghbecause he had to stay over to fill a lecture engagementthere and I wanted to be on my way toward the newplays. As things turned out, however, I didn't get toNew York as soon as I'd hoped to, on account of oneof those motor mishaps which can cause such meandelays. On the other hand, Percy, as you've alreadyguessed if you knew him at all, managed to keep hislecture date exactly as — and when — he'd contracted tokeep it.Driving was rather new to both of us in those daysand I think we were enjoying the trip all the more forthat reason — until somewhere in Ohio we ran off theroad, and something "happened" to the car. Just what,I never knew, but something that made mechanics warnus to drive very slowly till we could get a part replaced.So, although we had started in plenty of time to be inPittsburgh well before the hour of Percy's lecture, astwilight began to settle upon the surrounding hills wewere still many slow miles from the lecture hall. Butwith, I can assure you, a blandly unperturbed lecturerat the wheel, now guiding his creeping car to a waysiderailroad station where he could hop a train into town,leaving me and car behind. Hours ago he had studiedtime-tables, had wired ahead to have a taxi waiting for him. What more could he do? So he did it: he chattedeasily, entertainingly, doing his best to make me feeleasy too, as if I were the one an audience might be waiting for; and it was an almost nonchalant passenger who,boarding that train, bade me and the lame car goodluck. I'm sure that a little later, while I was nursing thecar cautiously into the city, he was stepping briskly beforehis audience, on time precisely; cool, clever, and immaculate.I often think of that trip when I think of Percy Boynton. He was so "in character" all through it. So prepared,so poised, so unobtrusively considerate. You who knewhim know what I mean, for he was never hard to understand.And yet I can see that it isn't going to be easy towrite about him. Not that I want to pull punches, butbecause the real flavor of his personality was in hisnuances. I have seen him put a colleague in placewith a glance, heard him praise (or sting) a student withan apparently casual inflection. But how in a phrase canyou bring back one of those quick cool glances, or catchin print one of those dry inflections? Centainly not witha few bold strokes, for the strokes would be so out ofharmony with the subject. No, you can't sketch him inboldly; and in saying this I suppose I'm saying thatin a way he lacked "color".Well, the fact is that he was not really a good showmanunder the academic big-top. There wasn't enough ballyhoo about him. He made no claims for himself; it wasperhaps his weakness that he didn't make a few. Heknew his limitations and admitted them. And he was alittle too fair to be colorful — like a character in a Galsworthy play, too just, too poised, too reasonable, to betruly dramatic. Still, I think that many of us who werehis students in his earlier days at the University wouldsay that this same quality of fairness was his greatestasset. For he could be fair to anyone, at any time, in anycircumstance. I myself first knew him in these earlier days,in the days when he was a dean. A youngish dean, Irealize now, pleasantly business-like, neat almost to thepoint of nattiness, and oh so fair! Indeed this geniusfor justice made him a sort of super-dean, and one ofthe best interceders in your behalf a student could hopeto have — if your cause was a good one.To a majority of alumni, however, it is probably theclassroom Boynton who comes first to mind. The slimfigure of him standing so trimly erect before you, delivering one of those clear-cut, expertly organized Boyntonlectures. Both the manner and the matter of them weredistinctive, whether he was speaking to sophomores orscholars. He never taked down t» the one, and certainlynever up to the other. What he gave undergraduates wasas carefully thought out, as deftly built, as an addressto an institute. If you were in his audience, classroom or910 THE UNIVERSITYOF CHICAGO MAGAZINEelsewhere, you felt that in planning his talk he had hada polite consideration for the value of your time — youcould listen comfortably, and take notes that made senseafterward. "Polished" was, I believe, the word most oftenused to describe these lectures, and later on, the sameterm was as often applied to his broadcasts."When you listen to Boynton you feel that you'resurely hearing the authentic voice of culture," one of hisradio fans once remarked; and added, 'And I guessyou are."If so many listeners (including most of the rest of us!)felt more or less this way, it was partly of course becauseof his clear New England enunciation, but partly toobecause of his equally clear arrangement of topics, forhe could always marshal facts and illustrations as neatlyas he wore a double-breasted coat or tied a silk bow-tie.Few who have tried, I imagine, have been able to turn histrick of presenting a rounded "literary" topic within afifteen minute limit. For a number of years he was oneof our most asked-for broadcasters, and when it came tobroadcasting material direct from the classroom, he wasreally a pioneer.But he was always, in his quiet way, a good deal ofa pioneer. He was certainly such in the corner of hisprofession which he made his own, the teaching ofAmerican literature. He was one of the first in Americato give major attention to the writers of our own country,new writers as well as old, and in the development ofcourses to this end he was far out in front among American professors.And he was that rare bird, a good teacher. He gothis points across to classrooms crowded with undergraduates and at the same time retained the respect ofgraduate students and even of his colleagues. Which isan accomplishment in any man's university. But he tookall this popularity in an easy stride. He made no noisyclaims, as I've said, and was frank about what he considered his limitations."Mine isn't what you'd call an original mind," heoften said. "If I sometimes seem to have one, it's onlybecause I'm rather quick at picking up new 'currents'in our writing and thinking. I admit that I can generallysense a 'trend' when it's just beginning to get under way,that's all."It was this sensitivity to the contemporary in our literature that made Percy Boynton so important, along withhis interpretations of men like Emerson, Whitman andThoreau. But even here he had the grace not to takehimself too seriously, and he wasn't afraid to join inwhen a laugh was on himself. As he always did whenreminded of the time one of his books was going topress and almost at the same moment Herman Melvillewas being "discovered", but not by Percy. In fact ourhero became fully aware of this new figure only in thenick of time. So the best he would do for Herman wasto squeeze him into a footnote."But I gave him a chapter in the next edition," Percy added when he told me, clearing his throat and turningthat characteristic half -smile upon me.I think it was this knack of smiling at himself thathelped him to make so many friends. At any rate, he hada great capacity for making them and holding them.Students liked and trusted him. His influence among undergraduates was considerable, but always quietly exercised; and with such organizations as the Blackfriars itis hard to over-estimate the extent of his congenial service. (And what a team it was for any student activity,Percy Boynton and Hamilton Coleman! — those two werea lot alike, and any crowd would have been fortunateto have either half of the team.) Not that he limitedhis good offices to any one crowd of course, he wasaltogether too impartial for that, but you could counton him to be in on almost any venture if it was adramatic one. You always felt that he would have madea fine actor himself — I mean on the professional stage,for on the amateur boards he was a God's blessing toan audience, as many of us can thankfully attest. It ismy own opinion that as a professional he'd have beenone of the fine comedians of our times, equalling at leastthe record of his somewhat less subtle cousin, TaylorHolmes. His interest in the theater was lively and intelligent, and former students like Barrett Clark and WillGeer always kept in touch with him, long after they hadleft the quadrangles.But I mustn't begin to list the students whom he influenced, the list would obviously be too long, althoughnaturally there are some among his Ph.D.'s who standout as pre-eminently "Boynton products"; Napier Wiltfirst of all perhaps, and such others as Henry Commager,Frank Webster, Lucille Gafford, Lennox Grey and William Bras well, to jot down the names that come at onceto mind. (And if you're wondering why Walter Blair'sname isn't included, the answer is that Walter is reallyone of Napier's protegees, and therefore actually a sortof second-generation Boynton man.)But many as were the friends he made and held, Iam glad to say that he also had a capacity for makingenemies; he was too real a person not to have had hisshare of them. He disliked them cordially, and eitherfought them a la Queensberry or ignored them politely.I often disagreed with him in his likes and dislikes.That I felt differently was of interest to him, even madehim mildly curious now and then, but his interest wasacademic, not emotional. He never asked you to seepeople or things as he saw them. I suppose this was partof the measure of his bigness. And I realize that I haveby no means given his full stature, nor even tried to giveit; others are better equipped to do this — surely betterable to write of his achievements as a scholar, and nodoubt also to tell of his abilities as an administrator;abilities which once upon a time took him close to thepresidency of Amherst, how close I never knew anddidn't care. After all, everyone knows it's not jobs andachievements you're likely to think of when you're think-THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINE 11ing of someone with whom you've had a long and richassociation. It's the importance of the unimportant incidents that loom large in your memories; and so I've beenwriting down some of these, intentionally omitting itemsyou'll find in any source-book. (Although maybe HowardMort will like to append a footnote here, containingenough details to fill out the record neatly.)One of the last notes Percy ever wrote was one ofthose gracious yet genuine messages he always seemed tofind time for. This one was to Milton Mayer; and Milt,(Photo by Walter Parker)The University Bookstore, campus center for mosteverything from the Great Books to Pepsi-Cola, is pushing south. The store, which for years has occupied thenorth half of Ellis Hall, will soon occupy the entire building.Anticipating this flanking movement, Home Study department — which has shared the building — piled its filesand furniture into trucks and moved across the Midwayinto the former St. Paul's Universalist church at Sixtiethand Dorchester.The enlarging of the Bookstore (which started in aCobb Hall cubby hole, expanded to a small corner of thePress Building and was finally established in a modestportion of Ellis Hall around the early twenties) will begood news for the thousands of book-needy students whoform lines which serpentine through the aisles and in thegreat out-of-doors. This fall, with nine thousand studentswhere before there were five, the crowding problem suddenly became critical.When the remodeling is completed (before Christmasif manager Passmore's prayers are answered) novelties,confections, sandwiches and soft drinks will be movedinto the south area formerly occupied by Home Study.This will leave the entire north section for text books,stationery and school supplies.For a "temporary" building (since 1901!) Ellis Hall understanding my purpose, has rather reluctantly givenme permission to quote from it. I'm not sure that thiswasn't in fact the very last letter Percy wrote. And asif he was speaking a tag for his biography in the samedeft way he used to round off those classroom lectures,he said at the conclusion of his note to Milt, after renewing an invitation, "But come soon, for remember weold folks don't live forever."Frank H. O'Hara,Associate Professor of Englishhas had quite a history. It was originally built to house,temporarily, the new School of Education. It may behard to believe but at that time it had 20,000 square feetof ground floor space partitioned into thirty large rooms.A part of the original building was lopped off later tomake room for Abbott Hall (physiology) just west of thepresent building.In 1902 President Harper and the Trustees determinedto experiment with what was termed "segregation." Thetheory was that the boys and girls at the junior collegelevel would do better work if — as in gymnasium classes —they were instructed separately.Ellis Hall became the men's classroom building. At apresumably safe distance of two blocks for proper segregation, Lexington Hall, a running mate of Ellis Hall inone-story rambling brick, was erected on Lexington (nowUniversity) Avenue. The plan was never very populareither with students or faculty, the latter crossing themarsh at alternate hours to repeat their lectures verbatum,since no one had thought to invent electrical transcriptions. In any event, segregation quickly passed quietlyfrom the Midway scene and no one has since cared todiscuss that new plan.Ellis Hall now became the catch-all for various activities on their way to more permanent quarters. Certaindeans had offices under its tarred roof. The Daily Maroon,Cap and Gown, the campus Y.M.C.A., and even TheUniversity of Chicago Magazine at one time or another found passing shelter in Ellis Hall. In fact thereare those who seem to have vague recollections of thetime when the Military Science Department had headquarters in the building along with a limited number ofcavalry horses.The present remodeling job is probably the last forEllis Hall. When funds are available to complete themedical unit, whether next year or twenty years hence,the entire block on the corner of which squats Ellis Hall,will be filled with permanent limestone buildings. Untilthen Ellis Hall will doubtless continue to be as temporaryas Illinois' emergency sales tax.The Bookstore sLIMITED ADDITIONEDITOR'S MEMO PADAutumn NostalgiaIt was one of those bright, crispSaturday afternoons in late September. The nation's air had burst suddenly with spiraling footballs, martialmusic and hoarse, cheering voices.Wellington (Duke) Jones, '08, PhD'14, Professor Emeritus of Geography,snapped off the football broadcast,pulled on his old jacket and slouchhat and walked west on 56th Street.At Stagg Field he found a workmen's gate ajar. Duke turned in andclimbed slowly over the twenty thousand empty seats of the north standsto within a few benches of the emptypress boxes. Wearily he sat downfacing the deserted gridiron in theshadow of Mitchell Tower.aIx^^/^VjDuke's figure, lost in the huge graystands, was motionless for long minutes. He had never lived farther thana mile from these Gothic towers andthis famous field. Almost from theday he learned to walk he had learnedto squeeze through the scraped-outhollows under the wooden fences ofMarshall Field. Now, half a centurylater, with America yelling its lungsto exhaustion, Wellington Jones satquietly in the silent stands crowdedwith yesteryear's memories.Pulling from his jacket a scrap ofpaper and a pencil stub he began towrite — nostalgia tainted with bitterness.At seven-twenty that evening ourtelephone rang. It was WellingtonJones: "I have written. . .thought youmight be interested. . .my wife saysI'd better not send it . . . she's probably right . . . but if I do perhaps itshouldn't be published "It may have been poetic satire orironic prose.

But Mr. and Mrs. RobertV. Merrill did it with $600 when,after the death of their six-year-oldson, John, in January, 1934, theydetermined to establish a memorialto him.It was only natural they shouldthink of the University's Bobs Roberts children's memorial hospital —made possible by another family wholost a boy and who did have a milliondollars.The Merrills had discovered patientyoungsters from destitute families forwhom a few dollars, judiciously expended, would mean the differencebetween an inspiration to get well andwhat's-the-use. So, in the past dozenyears, as the Merrills and their friendsadded to the original sum, the JohnFyffe Merrill Memorial fund hashelped many a youngster on his wayback to health and a happy playground.There was little Jean with rheumatic heart disease. The doctor advised convalescent care at a sanatorium. Arrangements were made butthe parents, on relief, couldn't providea bathrobe, sweater, and slippers norcould the relief agencies justify thissort of expenditure from their budgets. Four dollars from the MerrillFund made the trip possible.Eleven-year-old Marilyn needed toattend a sight-saving class in a special school. The family, with fiveother children, on a little truck farmcouldn't provide the transportation.The Merrill Fund stepped in with$9.86 which did the job until specialbus arrangements with the Chicagoschool board could be made.There was a four dollar purchase ofheavy underwear for a youngster withrheumatic fever; three dollars forYoungsters awaiting clinical serviceat Bobs Roberts. bath room scales for diabetic Josephine who became fascinated with ajob of regulating her diet to her veryown scales; Evangeline, a discouragedcripple who took a new lease on lifewith seventy-five cents worth of artmaterials; and happy little Paul Troywho wrote an awkward but enthusiastic letter back from Scout camp telling what a bang he was gettingout of his ($5) knap sack — whichhad to include insulin.The moral of the John Fyffe Merrill Memorial is: You don't need amillion, dollars when seven dollarsprovides Jimmie with a snow suit andboots to play with the other fellowwhile he gets strong and well.WOMEN INC.Jane Kesner Morrishas published her firstnovel — about white collar girls in business witha clever and appropriatetitle: Women Inc.It's hard to realizethat it's been all of fourteen years since JaneKesner, '32, was managing editor for the DailyMaroon as well as forMirror (in the days whenMirror was an all-girlshow) .The day after Convocation Jane Kesner left Jane Kesner MorrisYou can't keep Californians out ofplay suits or off the sands.for Europe as the guest of a travel company expressingappreciation for some publicity ideas she had given them.For the next three years — she was now Mrs. Ted Morris— Jane became editor and "staff" of The WoodlawnBooster, a weekly newspaper published and distributedin the University environs. To keep her typewriter fromcooling off she also did a chatty column for the theatricalmagazine Billboard — this interest doubtless growing outof the fact that husband Ted was with Loew's Inc. Jane returned to the quadrangles in 1935 to becomeadvertising copywriter for the Press where it is nowobvious she collected her data for Women Inc. The yearafter she left the Press (1942), while living in Indianawhere Ted had been transferred, she attended the IndianaUniversity Writers' Conference. Armed with short storiesand the first chapters of Women Inc. she captured theConference prize.Henry Holt and Company were impressed with herWomen Inc. chapters and after some revisions to keepthe book in the any-resemblance-is-a-coincidence class,published it on September 19th.Of course, knowing the Press personnel as we do weare impressed with the multiplicity of coincidences inWomen Inc.! With this in mind we would change "tender" to "frank" and agree with Henry Holt's book jacketstatement: "Women Inc. is an original, skillful and tendernovel which introduces a new and talented young writer."Jane and Ted Morris are living in Los Angeles whereTed is in the publicity department of Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer and Jane is working on her second novel whichshe will probably call This She Remembered — a periodpiece beginning in London in 1846.Jane's sister, Betty Kesner, '43, is back at the University working for her Master's degree in modern history.H.W.M.PAUL BUNYAN ENTERTAINS E-O-LEVENERSFor a time it looked as though poor old Paul Bunyan'stall north woods tales were about to be eclipsed.J. Edwin Earle, of the famous E-o-leven class and proprietor of some 33,000 timbered acres in the Michigan(Paul Bunyan) peninsula, had sent out over 400 cordialinvitations to his classmates. He and Anne, his wife,had invited the entire class of 1911 to be their guestsfor a flaming autumn weekend at Blaney Park, a summer-winter resort in the Earle family's timber.Some of the tallest tellers of E-o-leven tales could notaccept but among those present were class secretary EdSeegers, River Forest; Charles E. Watts, Pocahontas,Iowa; Harry Benner, Chicago; Hazel Hoff MacClintock,Chicago; Conrado Benitez, Philippine Islands; Albert G.Heath and wife, Harbor Springs, Michigan; GwendolynJames Roscoe and husband, Highland Park; BradfordGill and wife, Evanston; Albert Duncan and wife, Evanston; George R. Faust and wife, Mary Maginness Faust,both alumni, Chicago; Sarah Wilkes Durkee and husband, Lake Geneva; Jeanette Thielens Phillips, Chicago;and Alumni Secretary Mort.The occasion for the reunion was the visit of classmateConrado Benitez from Manila where he had lived uncertainly from hour to hour during the occupation.The pioneering story of Blaney Park is one of thosefascinating tales of early lumber development. Beforethe turn of the century Harold Earle's father, a NewYork state physician, had come west for his health and had taken over the management of these thousands oftimbered acres owned by his late father-in-law. It washere that Harold and his brother Stewart grew up. Whentheir father died the brothers took over and when it wasno longer profitable to operate for lumber, they developed the holdings into a game sanctuary and resort area.This was the picturesque spot where the Class of 1911were the guests of Harold and Anne Earle in the lateautumn, where deer followed the guests around forapples, the hard wood trees painted the hillsides in color,.and where the Paul Bunyan museum provided many astartling discovery and raised eyebrow.Harold Earle pauses before one of his many rustic cabins.14MORE ALUMNI EDUCATIONThe special alumni courses offered by the Associationin cooperation with the University entered the seventhseason in November. Three courses are being offeredto alumni this year:1. HISTORY OF THE ATOM, the discoveries leading to atom splitting and new sources of energy.2. AMERICAN BIOGRAPHIES, a fresh appreciation of American history through personalizing itsprocesses.3. MAN'S ADVENTURE IN RELIGION, how theold religions are meeting the new age.For alumni unable to attend these courses we areprinting an outline of the three series with bibliographies.Special Announcement for Chicago AreaWe have discovered a general misunderstanding of thecourse on The History of the Atom. Many alumni fear,without a Ph.D. in physics, the lectures will be too technical for them to understand.Actually, the professors were chosen for their ability(with the aid of demonstrations and motion pictures)to present their subjects on the layman's level. Thefaculty includes Arthur Dempster, who isolated U-235;Samuel Allison, Director, Institute of Nuclear Studies;and Nobel Prize winner Enrico Fermi.Because of the misunderstanding of the nature of thiscourse we are holding registrations open for alumni whomay wish to begin with the December 16th session atthe special rate of $4.80, including government tax. Theoriginal cost was $6.00, including tax.Send names and addresses with registration fees toThe Alumni Association, 5733 University Avenue, Chicago 37. We will mail tickets and directions for reaching the lecture-demonstration room in Eckhart Hall, 5734University Avenue.We- are sorry but we cannot sell single admissions.THE HISTORY OF THE ATOMThe Atom of the Chemists George S.

Groeger, '42, was killedin the crash of a B-24 Liberator nearSalerno on December 9, 1944. Lt.Groeger, a bombardier with the 15thAir Force, had completed fifty missions, and was en route home whenthe plane crashed. He was commissioned December 24, 1943, at BigSprings, Texas, and was the recipientof a Presidential Citation, the AirMedal and Oak Leaf Cluster.Capt. Vladimir Molner Sasko, '36,MD '38, was killed in the crash ofa C-47 plane en route from Dobodurato Hollandia. He reported for service July 1, 1941, at Fort BenjaminHarrison, Indiana. In February,1942, he was sent to Walter ReedHospital for training in tropical medicine, and later taught tropical medicine. In 1943 he went overseas,serving in New Guinea and the Admiralty Islands, and for a time hewas stationed in Australia. On December 10, 1944, he was ordered toHollandia, and en route the planeapparently crashed, since it neverreached Hollandia. Vladimir M, SaskoNEWS OF THE QUADRANGLES• By JEANNETTE LOWREYMillion Dollars for Cancer ResearchGift of a million dollars by the Goldblatt BrothersFoundation to establish "The Nathan Goldblatt MemorialHospital" as the center of the University of Chicago'sextensive program of cancer treatment and research wasannounced this month by President Ernest C. Colwell.As a clinical center, the hospital will be devoted exclusively to treatment of cancer and other neoplasticdiseases. The hospital will be built on Ellis Avenue, justnorth of 59th Street, to connect with the surgical sectionof Albert Merritt Billings Hospital of the UniversityClinics. The Nathan Goldblatt Memorial will be theonly university hospital in the country with the entirestaff engaged full-time in cancer treatment and research.The hospital also will be the focus of the Universityof Chicago's Committee on Cancer and its associatedCommittee on Normal and Neoplastic Growth, whichcoordinate research on cancer in nine clinical and basicscience departments. In addition to the present researchfacilities, significant additional resources will be addedsoon by the laboratories of the University's Institute ofRadiobiology and Biophysics and its Institute of NuclearStudies. Both institutes already have complete staffs.THE NATHAN GOLDBLATT MEMORIAL HOSPITALConnecting with the surgical division of Albert Merritt Billings Hospital, the Nathan Goldblatt MemorialHospital will provide a minimum of 50 beds, as well asextensive laboratories and facilities for cancer treatment. These institutes, outgrowths of the work — includingthe world's first chain-reaction pile — done at the University on the atomic bomb during the war, will enterthe promising field of cancer treatment and researchopened up by improved sources of high-energy radiationsand by the great increase in supply and forms of radioactive materials provided by the atomic "ovens.""The gift of the Nathan Goldblatt Memorial Hospitalgives great impetus to the University's work on Cancer,"President Colwell said in announcing the gift. "Theclinical facilities for cancer are a valuable asset andwill be of great service to those in need of treatment.An even more important result, however, is that thehospital as a teaching and research institution will bethe focus of the broad cancer research effort which isbeing carried on by the University in the clinical andbasic sciences."If conditions permit, construction of the hospital willbegin next spring. ' Preliminary plans call for a six-story structure, which probably will be increased toseven floors, with basement and sub-basement, providinga minimum of 800,000 cubic feet and 50,500 square feetof floor space. Dimensions of the building have beententatively set at 164 by 44 feet.The hospital will provide at least 50 beds in singleand two-bed rooms, together with the usual service features necessary for the care of patients. There also willbe two operating rooms, an out-patient clinic, offices andresearch laboratories for the staff, diagnostic laboratories,administrative quarters, reception rooms for patients andtheir relatives, and conference rooms for the staff and thescientists working under the Committee on Cancer andthe Committee on Normal and Neoplastic Growth.The Goldblatt Brothers Foundation, donor of thehospital, is a charitable trust established in 1936 by members of the Goldblatt family to administer their personalcontributions for worthwhile activities in the fields ofsocial service and medical research. The Foundationis entirely independent of the Goldblatt Brothers Department Stores.Trustees of the Foundation are Maurice, Joel, andLouis Goldblatt, Mrs. Nathan Goldblatt, Mrs. MauriceGoldblatt, Mrs. Jack Gordon, N. J. Pritzker, and BernardBrown.Nathan Goldblatt, in whose memory the gift is beingmade, was born in 1895 and came to America as achild. In 1914, when Nathan was 19, he and Mauriceand their younger brothers, Louis and Joel, started asmall store. Nathan became known in retail circles asa dynamic merchandiser as the Goldblatt Stores grewin number and size. He died November 3, 1944."The strength of the University's long range work incancer, to which the Nathan Goldblatt Memorial Hos-18T HE U N 1 V E R S 1 T Y O Fpital will be so valuable, is in the close association andcooperative endeavor between the basic scientists andthe clinical staff/' Dr. Wendell R. Harrison, Dean ofthe Division of the Biological Sciences, said"Such cooperation is demanded because the fundamental biological character of cancer is as yet unknown,and only a broad base of attack seems to offer hope ofultimate conquest of the disease."In the meantime, the University expects in the Goldblatt Memorial Hospital to make the advancements whichare possible through new developments in surgery andradiation therapy."Basic cancer research at the University has resultedin significant contributions to techniques of treatment.Clinicians have developed surgical procedures for removal of the lower esophagus, long inoperable; an operative procedure involving endocrine destruction in relation to cancer; broader use of radical surgery in advanced cases of cancer; and development of extensivebone grafting as an alternative to amputation of car-ccnogenic arms and legs. Valuable advances in intravenous feeding and post-operative care in cases of operation for cancer of the digestive tract have also beenmade.Development of estrogen for use in control of cancerof the prostate, and so far the only medicine taken bymouth which is of value against a form of cancer, wasalso a product of the University's cancer research.A wide variety of basic investigations is underway invarious non-clinical departments under the Committee onCancer. These studies are concerned with factors ofheredity, the relationship of gastric juices to stomachcancer; the biochemical study of cancer-causing agents;the role of sex hormones; growth of plant tumors; thechemistry of cell growth, particularly the role of enzymes; and the mechanics of cell respiration.Return of the StaggsChicago's grand old man, Amos Alonzo Stagg, wasback on the Midway, and the University and all Chicagowelcomed him as the city's most distinguished guest.For the 84-year-old dean of football, the gates of StaggField were opened wide again. Here the College of thePacific team worked out at the scene of Stagg's greatestconquests.To him C men of 40 years paid homage at a pre-game dinner in the Terrace Room of the Morrison Hotel.Five of the Maroon team, which won the famous 2 to 0victory over Fielding Yost's point-a-minute Michiganteam of 1905, were there. They were: W. J. (Dan)Boone, M.' S. Catlin, Merrill C. (Babe) Meigs, L. SDeTray, and Fred M. Walker.And for him, his host, Northwestern University, stageda dramatic between-halves celebration. "Tug" Wilsonpresented him with a Western Conference plaque in commemoration of his part in founding and developing the"Big Ten."But the surprises of the week-end were Stagg's own. CHICAGO MAGAZINE 19His men provided the most spectacular play of thegame. It turned up late in the second period. It wasa weird, razzle-dazzle 98-yard touchdown play — the sortof play fans expect of Staggmen. It started when EddieLebaron reached up and intercepted a pass on his owntwo-yard line. He lateralled the ball to Wayne Hardin,who had run up the field zone behind him. Hardin began to run up field, across it, and back to Northwestern' s20-yard line — 78 yards downfield. The ball was lateralledagain — this time to John Rohde who galloped the remaining 20 yards for the score.Despite the 26 to 13 victory for Northwestern, it wasa great day for the mentor.Dyche Stadium was filled with Stagg fans And Cmen were out in the field. John Schommer, who starredat the turn of the century, was umpire. Joe Lipp, another star, was head linesman, and Jay Berwanger, theUniversity's last All American, was a third official.Even the United Press's rumor that Stagg would announce his retirement during halves was spiked by the"dean" himself. "No idea," he said, "has ever been fartherfrom my mind. When a person is healthy and is havingas much fun as I am out of coaching, matters like retiring are not even considered."Mrs. Stagg, who has a woman's privilege to changeher mind, was the only one who chose to use the prerogative. After 52 years of never travelling with Staggand the team, she decided to make the Chicago trip.She was here to join in her husband's triumph. And itwas the first trip she has made with the team train since1894 when she and Amos combined a honeymoon tripwith a game with Stanford — the first intersectional football game on record.Szilard Accepts Dual PostLeo Szilard, internationally-known physicist, who wasinstrumental in getting President Franklin D. Rooseveltinterested in the atomic energy field, has been appointedto the faculty in a dual role.Szilard is professor of biophysics and professor of socialsciences, and will spend one-half of his time in the University's new Institute for Radiobiology and Biophysics;the other half with the Division of Social Sciences.He began his work in the field of nuclear physics in1934 in London and later continued his work at theUniversity of London. His early experiments at Columbia University in 1939 with Walter H. Zinn, directorof the Argonne National Laboratory, demonstrated thatneutrons are emitted in the fission process from uranium— a theory which became fundamental for later work onatomic energy.Szilard worked with Enrico Fermi, Nobel prize physicist and distinguished service professor at the University,on the early phases of work on chain reaction at Columbia and on the Midway campus, where the first chainreaction was demonstrated December 2, 1942.Born in Budapest, Hungary, in 1898, Szilard received20 THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINEhis Ph.D. from the University of Berlin in 1922 andserved on the university's faculty there from 1925 to1933. He became an American citizen in 1943.$100,000 to Study Free MarketAn effort to determine the conditions of a free-marketeconomy in the United States will be made in a three-year study at the University of Chicago, through a grantof $100,000 from the William Volker Charities Fund ofKansas City.The study, conducted under the auspices of the LawSchool, will be directed by Aaron Director, former member of the University of Chicago economic departmentand more recently of the U. S. Department of Commerce. An executive committee of members of the University faculty will have general responsibility for thecharacter of the study.Economists define a free-market economy substantiallyas one in which prices of commodities and services andallocation of resources are determined by competitionand not by private monopoly or government regulation."In its fundamental aspects, the existing economy ofthe United States presumably rests on a free market. Itis important to know, therefore, what is involved in suchan economy, and how significant have been the departures from it," Mr. Director said."The major departures from free markets, resultingfrom the nature of industrial and labor organization, andparticularly from government policy, are important areasof the study, as a basis for indicating the necessary institutional changes which may be required for survivaland proper function of such a system of economic organization."On the basis of the study, a program for restoring andmaintaining a free-market economy can be constructedand a realistic appraisal of its attainment can be madein relation to the political pressures and other factors involved, Mr. Director said. The report of the study willbe published in a book of semi-popular character.The executive committee will consist of Wilber G.Katz, dean of the Law School, chairman; Garfield V.Cox, dean of the School of Business; Milton Friedman,Frank H. Knight and Theodore W. Schultz, of the department of economics; and Edward H. Levi, professorof law.Mr. Director received his undergraduate degree atYale University, and did graduate work in economics atthe University of Chicago from 1927-30 and at theLondon School of Economics, 1937-38.He is the author of The Economics of Technocracyand co-author with Paul H. Douglas, University of Chicago economist, of The Problem of Unemployment,Registration — All time highHitting its all-time enrollment high, the University ofChicago has 12,366 students registered on the quadranglesand at University College, Registrar Ernest C. Miller reported after the third week of paid registration. Veteran enrollment was up 900 percent over the 1945fall quarter figure of 599. Four thousand eight hundredand seventeen veterans, 222 of whom are women, areenrolled this quarter.The ratio of men to women remains, however, at thepre-war level — two to one.Highest percentage gains on the quadrangles, wherethe students total 8,354 were evidenced in the LawSchool where the gain was more than 271 percent, in theSchool of Business, with 270 percent; and the divisionof physical sciences, with 200 percent.Other high percentage gains include the School ofMedicine, 167 percent; the humanities division, 131 percent; and the division of biological sciences, 105 percent.Two thousand seven hundred and eleven students,1,085 of whom are veterans, are registered in the Collegeof the University. The ratio of men to women in theCollege, like the university ratio, is two to one with 1,784men and 927 women registered.University College jumped 75 percent over 1945 with4,012 students registering in the adult education programand as regularly enrolled students. Of the 2,042 enrolledin the adult education program, 738 are studying the GreatBooks, 255 are attending the chamber music series, and203 are enrolled in the lecture series on American idealsby T. V. Smith, professor of philosophy.Meltzer Returns to MidwayBernard D. Meltzer, A.B. '35, J.D. '37, who has recently returned from Nuremberg, where he assisted Justice Robert H. Jackson in the prosecution of Axis WarCriminals as deputy chief of the economic section, hasreturned to the quadrangles as a professorial lecturer inthe Law School.Meltzer was in charge of the prosecution of defendants Walther Funk, Hjalmar Schacht, Albert Speer, andFritz Sauckel. The sentences of the court were: deathfor Sauckel, life imprisonment for Funk, and 20 yearsfor Speer. Schacht was acquitted.An honor student at the University of Chicago, Meltzerwas elected to Phi Beta Kappa honorary fraternity andwas selected as editor of the Law Review, highest honorin the Law School. He received his degree of L.L.M.cum laude from Harvard Law School in 1938.In 1941, Meltzer joined the department of state asassistant to Dean G. Acheson, where his work involvedmatters relating to the lend-lease program and the formulation of policies that were applicable to the proclaimed list and the economic welfare program in general.In this position he visited the United States diplomaticmissions in Brazil, Argentina, Uraguay, Paraguay andVenezuela.He was commissioned an ensign in 1943 and was assigned by the navy to the state department for duty atthe United Nations Conference on International Organization. In June, 1945, he was assigned to the stafffor the prosecution of Axis war criminals, for which workhe received an army citation.THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINE 21Etc.Lt. (j.g.) George Terhune Peck, Ph.D. '42, who withLt. Robertson, was the first to make contact with theRussian forces at the Elbe River, is on the Midway editing the monthly bulletin of the Committee to Frame aWorld Constitution. Peck, who was captured in enemyterritory in 1944 after designing a plan to learn thepolitical makeup of the Partisan forces, was under sentence of death for espionage. The Wermacht court inFebruary, 1945, however, declared him not guilty. Forhis gallantry, he was awarded the Bronze Star Medal ata ceremony November 4. Peck is on leave from LehighUniversity, where he is assistant professor of history, toedit the bulletin. . .Life reports on the Great Books course in the Stewart-Warner plant in Indianapolis in the October 28 issue byLEO SPITZ ['08, J.D. '10] is accounted the mastermind of the big movie merger of the pioneer Universal Company and International Pictures. . . .I will now tell you about Leo Spitz. . . He is short,neat, compactly built, and has curly iron-gray hair andis a dead pan. He has not made a hurried move in allhis 58 years. When he is playing cards, one of his fewdiversions, he may throw a pasteboard within the houror he may not toss one until 9:45 a. m. the followingday. Some of his friends attribute their stomach ulcersto playing cards with Mr. Spitz. He is an excellentcard player, especially of klabriasch, or klab, which isone of the more scientific games.He dresses with great deliberation. A gourmet, hedines slowly and appreciatively. If you present a problem to him, he listens attentively, seldom interrupting,and never giving a quick answer. He twirls his spectacles between his fingers when you conclude and is aptto say in his deep chest tones: "Well, let's explore thisfurther."When he gives his answer, yes or no, you can bet allthe celery in Michigan that the matter has been exploredunto its uttermost nooks and crannies, and you can alsolay plenty at 9 to 5 that Mr. Spitz is right. . .I never saw a man as forgiving of human error asLeo Spitz. You and I may get a little impatient at thefifth or sixth error but Mr. Spitz has much of the philosophy of the late Sam Harris, the theatrical magnate,and says, even up to Error No. 10:"Well, you've got to go along with a fellow."I do riot know at what point he ceases to go along.His patience in some cases seems inexhaustible. Sometimes he has to grin a bit apologetically himself as hecontinues to go along with some fellow that even he Milton Mayer, assistant professor at University College.Lloyd Wendt, Chicago Tribune feature writer and astudent in the course, also had an article in the SundayGraphic section October 20. Between four and five thousand students are studying the Great Books this fall inUniversity of Chicago sponsored courses. The course isbeing offered to 12 groups in Washington, D. C, 14 inIndianapolis, 32 in Detroit, 33 in Cleveland, and to 63centers in and nearby Chicago. . .Six of eight Illinois scientists to receive grants forcancer research by the American Cancer Society wereUniversity of Chicago men. The scientists and the grantsare: Dr. E. S. Gusman Barron, $5,000; Dr. Ben B.Blivaiss, $1,200; Dr. Earl A. Evans, $3,500; Dr. T. F.Gallagher, $8,000; Dr. Leon O. Jacobson, $6,820; andDr. Allan Kenyon, $4,800. . .recognizes as pretty hopeless. The greatest of all human attributes to Leo Spitz is kindness and he is saturated with it.His dead pan is a complete throw-ofl. Actually, he isthe soul of joviality. He likes to laugh. One of hiscomplaints about the movies is that they do not carryenough humor. I would say that his general view of thepicture business is commercial rather than artistic thoughhe does not object to art if it pays off.He is an extremely modest, retiring sort of fellow. Theinfo he gave Who's Who about himself is annoyinglyskimpy. It perhaps reflects Mr. Spitz' distaste for publicity. I am sure he will not thank me for that whichI am giving him here though his fair legal mind isbound to give consideration to my plea that it makescolumns.He was born in Chicago and grew up there. Hegraduated from South Division High and the Universityof Chicago. His mother was a Horner of the familythat produced the Governor of Illinois of that name.He was admitted to the bar in 1910, and practiced lawin his home town for years with considerable success.His legal contemporaries say he is a superb lawyer.In his younger days he was a familiar figure alongthe Boul "Mich" and in the night spots of the loop —a veritable man about town, in fact, a career he abandoned with his marriage. His wife is the formerFrankie Hames, once a well known Broadway stage performer. She was Al Jolson's leading lady in "Big Boy,"one of his great Winter Garden successes. She is oneof the few truly witty women I have ever known andone of great heart.I guess you might say I have a sort of a crush on theSpitzes, hey?THE BRIGHTER SIDEBy DAMON RUNYON(Reprinted by special permissionof King Features Syndicate.)22 THE UNIVERSITY O FMonday, December 2LECTURE— "Bureaucracy: No Alien Intruder," C.Hermann Pritchett (Political Science), Social ScienceBuilding, 1126 East 59th Street, 4:30 P.

Strange as it may seem, "Ray's" bunch, Charliedoing his full part, won in an eye-lash finish.
