I'jirki-rThree strikes -not outA necktie knitting machinesaved four hundredA ROUND THE CORNER from Pasadena's Huntington-Sher-aton Hotel is the impressive home of Arthur Hanisch, 17.Last summer, when members of our staff were attending aconference at the hotel, we were entertained for cocktails atthe Hanisch home. We crossed the street, walked up theflower-bordered driveway (above), and were welcomed inthe indoor courtyard (right). This beautiful, unique homeimpressed us as it did Hoiise Beautiful to the tune of 22 pages.On any of three major counts, Arthur should have beendead: tuberculosis, coronary thrombosis, and a ruptured aorta.Graduating from Chicago with a, Phi Beta Kappa key ArthurHanisch joined the Air Force. After the war he returned toEngland and introduced the British to popcorn. (The popcornmachine blew up on the first demonstration.) But the Britishwere not particularly interested in popcorn even in molassesballs. Then he introduced hosiery with fancy designs. (Laterhe introduced bobby sox to America.) Finally he introducedthe Shaler vulcanizing process to Europe.In 1932 he contracted tuberculosis — lungs, throat, and spine.In California he spent a year in a body cast and had a spinalfusion. Meanwhile he began searching for something constructive he could do.By the late 30's he had formed a. construction company andbuilt five thousand homes. With two thousand dollars andone salesman he took a flyer in a liquid vitamin productdeveloped by a professor at California Institute of Technology.By 1941 he had named this pharmaceutical company after hisson, the Stuart Company, which had an eight-million dollaryear in 1957 with 29 different products.The responsibilities of this growing concern and his hosieryfirm, with which his brother Harold, '21, is associated, broughton a heart attack. For six months Arthur conducted salesand directors' meetings from his bed. Back to expanding hisbusiness, he was struck the next physical blow in 1954. Themain artery supplying blood to the lower extremities swelledto the size of a small football.As the artery threatened to burst, Arthur Hanisch learnedthat Dr. Michael DeBakey, head of surgery at Baylor Uni- Photo by Maynartl L. PiirUerversity in Houston, had developed a homograph operationwhich transplanted an aorta from a recently deceased person.The operation was miraculously successful.It was clear to Arthur Hanisch that he owed a debt tomedicine. Transplanting a human aorta was too uncertain,expensive and inconvenient. The modern laboratory shouldfind the answer and Arthur would help.Since then, working to Dr. DeBakey's specifications, Arthurused his knowledge of textiles and, with his knitting industryassociates and a 44-year-old necktie knitting machine, developed a dacron "aorta" which has been used successfully onover four hundred similar operations.Continuing payment on his debt to medicine, Arthur Hanisch makes no charge for manufacturing these sections; supports cancer research through his Pasadena Research Foundation; supports the Los Angeles Heart Association research,and vascular research in several universities.January 20, 1958, Arthur made Time in its art section (ofall places) because of a three-million-dollar modern plant,complete with swimming pool and landscaping (see nightview below). Famed Edward D. Stone was the architect.Arthur is married to Marian Shaler, a Phi Beta Kappa, fromVassar. Their two sons are Stuart, a graduate of Stanford,and Shaler, graduated from U.C.L.A. Both are continuing ingraduate work.

He commutes to Florida's Cape Canaveral testing center, and has been a key man inthe designing of the three satellites, Explorer I, II, and III.Roy is assistant professor of pathologyat the University of California in LosAngeles.On campus Albert Hibbs and Roy Walford were active in University Theatre.Roy had even tried his hand at directing.He was captain of the wrestling team.Neither suspected that the age of adventure had passed with the gold rush. Together they climbed mountains; skindived; sailed boats; and lived by thehunter's knife in the wilds.They ha.d been classmates at Cal Techand joined the navy together. Albertwas interested in astronomy and archeology; Roy in tropical disease and spacemedicine.The summer of 1947 they had worried the Canadian citizens of Glacier bydisappearing into a four-day ice stormamong the ten-thousand-foot crags ofMount Sir Donald. Ending their highadventures with a hundred dollars each,they dropped in on Reno to break abank or so. Actually, all they wantedwas enough money to buy a comfortable,seaworthy boat, furnished with a goodlibrary and laboratory, with which tocircle the globe.Earlier that year Albert had purchaseda $2.95 roulette wheel. Evening after longevening he had spun the wheel for probabilities. Now the boys were ready totest Albert's findings with real money.At Reno's Palace Club they pickedtheir wheel and began their twenty-four-hour observations studying its eccentricities. For three weeks they spelledeach other around the clock doing nothing but charting the wheel's behavior;day and night without a break becausethey could take no chance that the wheelwould be changed or tampered with.It got to be quite a lark for both customers and owners — who brought sandwiches and coffee and ma.de the boysgenerally comfortable. It was provingto be invaluable national publicity.Then the boys began to play — and win.This, too, was good publicity, for a time,until the winnings passed a fifth of the Club's total capitalization. Then themanagement thought it wise to "pull"the wheel "for inspection."So the students moved to Harold'sClub; made another two -week study ofanother wheel; and added a few extrathousands to their boat fund before theirtime ran out.At Chicago Albert and Roy purchasedtheir boat; outfitted it with the Encyclopaedia Britannica; laboratory equipment; a few hundred rolls of film; booksand supplies, and sailed through theGreat Lakes and down the east coast tothe Caribbean Sea.For an income to supplement theirsayings the students had contracted witha science magazine for a series of articles.The magazine proceeded to go bankruptso they never got beyond the Caribbean.By the end of 1949 money had run out.The explorers put in at Miami and soldtheir boat for enough to make downpayments on homes in California.Both are now married. Roy Walfordhas three children. Albert has two, anda collection of old cars in good mechanical tune-up. (He drove a 1930 PierceArrow to work until another collectoroffered him more money than he couldresist.)This story was brought up to date byRonald M. Reifler, MBA '48, Chicago division consultant for the Fantus FactoryLocating Service, plant location counselors. Ronald drove the boys to GlacierPark on their first lap to Reno.In 1952 the Hibbs and Walford families were joined by Ronald Reifler fora reunion in Reno. They picked up expense money with a condensed versionof the original formula. Ronald laterRICHARD H. WEST CO.COMMERCIALPAINTING and DECORATING1331W.

As thenew resident enters the massivestructure for the first time, he is toodazed to notice the inscription. Burdened by suitcases, a stranger comingfrom any of the continents of theworld or 48 United States, the newcomer is greeted by a welcoming committee, ushered to the front desk toregister, and helped to one of the 505cherry- or oak -furnished rooms whichhouse the men and women residentson separate floors in the wings oneither side of the building.In a huge lounge stretching thelength of a corridor milling and flowing with people, he glimpses a Japanese tossing a magazine to a Negro;East Indians concentrating on a chessgame wdth a German; an Arab sittingwith a beautiful Jewess, and largeand small groups conversing rapidlyin many languages. He notes, too, acafeteria, snack bar, and a gift shop.From his student escort he learnsthere is an assembly hall, "home" and"national" activity rooms, a televisionroom, house physician, barber shop,beauty parlor, and valet and laundryservice, among other facilities.Nor is that all.

Kerridge, Director ofActivities and University of ChicagoBROTHERHOOD MAYBy Mary E. Paulson Harrington, AM '36 PREVAILAdviser to Foreign Visitors. Withina week after his arrival, the newcomer is received personally by JackKerridge to confer on visa and otherproblems. Soon he is called upon tovote for a "floor rep" to the HouseCouncil and increasingly finds himselfbecoming drawn into the life abouthim.And back of it all? Sooner or later,the newcomer realizes there is theplaque and the idea emanating fromit: that through bringing studentsfrom all over the world under one roof"in the common experiences of everyday life," they, as future leaders, will"become aware of one another aspersons rather than types" and that"nations are composed of human beings" like themselves.J_ he "international house" idea germinated in the mind of Harry E.Edmonds. On an autumn morning in1910, Edmonds, then student YMCAdirector for Metropolitan New York,greeted a passing Chinese student."Good morning," he said. Taken bysurprise, the Chinese visitor confessedit was the first greeting he had received from anyone in his threeweeks in New York. Inviting theforeign student to his home the following Sunday, Edmonds instituteda Sunday supper program which developed into the Intercollegiate Cosmopolitan Club of Columbia University. Soon Edmonds was appointedfirst foreign student adviser at Columbia, and through his persistentand enthusiatic efforts, finally arousedthe interest of John D. Rockefeller,Jr., in establishing an internationalhouse. Rockefeller donated land and$3 million to what was to be the firstInternational House in New YorkCity. It was opened in 1924, with Edmonds as its first director. Engravedin stone above the doorway of theNew York House is the motto: "Thatbrotherhood may prevail." Rockefeller's deep interest in foreign students led to his giving additional funds to build internationalhouses in Berkeley (1930), Chicago(1932), and Paris, France (1936).Bruce W. Dickson, who like Edmondsin New York, had been "Y" directorand first adviser to foreign studentsat the University of Chicago, wasmade the first director of the ChicagoHouse.In accordance with Rockefeller'swish, the House, governed by a city-wide Board of Governors, is open tograduate students and foreign facultymembers in any accredited college,university or professional school in theChicago area, and serves as a centerfor international exchange, lecturesand meetings for outside groups inmetropolitan Chicago and the MiddleWest.Inspired by the Rockefeller houses,other international houses have beenspringing up over the world, including, in the last five years, houses atthe University of Melbourne, Australia; University of Queensland, Brisbane, Australia; University of BritishColumbia, Vancouver, Canada; Taipei,Formosa, and a house for advancedscholars in Tokyo, Japan.In 1947, the International HouseAssociation was formed composed ofalumni of the houses. Chapters existin 52 cities of the globe with correspondents in yet other places, carrying the motto: "That brotherhood mayprevail."Mary (Polly) Paulson Harrington,manager of the Mid- West Office ofCommunication for the United Churchof Christ (Congregational ChristianChurches, Evangelical and ReformedChurch), has based this article on herdissertation for the University of Chicago, "The Purposes and Program ofInternational House, and Attitudes ofPresent-Day Residents Toward Them,"copyright by the author, 1956. No partsmay be used without her permission. B.>ut today, in an atomic and spaceage, does brotherhood exist in International Houses? And what, indeed,is "brotherhood?" Amidst the variousinternational student enterprises ofthe University, the United States government, foreign states and many aprivate organization, what functiondoes International House perform?How do students respond to it andwhy do they live there?These and other questions filled themind of the writer during her four-year residency, including presidencyof the House Council, at ChicagoInternational House. In an attemptto answer them, she undertook astudy, some of the results of whichfollow.It was generally known that thenew resident, after a couple of quarters, lost his feeling of "newness" andsettled into daily living with his"strange" fellow residents, activitiesand ideology, to the extent that hecould begin to view the whole objectively in the manner of the scholarhe was becoming. Thus, to get acomplete spread of foreign lands represented among them, all foreignstudents who had lived in the Housetwo quarters or more, as of a designated quarter, and every thirdAmerican in the same time group,with necessary substitutions, werepersonally asked to fill out a detailedquestionnaire and to participate insupplementary interviews for thestudy. Only three students declinedfor reasons other than being too busyor leaving the House.The resultant sample — 29 percentor 115 of all House residents thatquarter — was cross checked throughlong individual write-in statements,objective check lists and personaltalks. Participants often came to tellthe writer they had spent manyhours, even weeks, thinking on theJUNE, 1958 5Photograph by Lewellyn s-.i International House DirectorHarry T. Fuhz and Mrs, Fultzreceive greetings from Hawaiilevel, inclusive of all mankind asbrothers through the universal fatherhood of God.An Asian student who had experienced discriminatory housing previousto coming to International House,wrote: "Brotherhood is the art to getalong with others. The others neednot think or believe like we do;(brotherhood) is the quality of God. . . that truth and justice can belongto every man."A young African, now a leader inhis rising homeland, stated it is "toaccept a man because he is a man;there are no limitations, and no oneis subject to what other people are."Some students who said they nolonger believed in God or in the organized church, could see brotherhood as a unifying concept for life.meaning of International House,which they found they had to probefor their own sake, regardless of aquestionnaire. For while the inscription on the plaque and the stone engraving had appeared brief and clear-cut, the concept of "brotherhood,"they found, was less and less simple.From these deep inward probings,there emerged an expanse and a depthunanticipated. It ranged from simplysaying "hello" in lounge or washroomto one of another race, nationality,religion or culture, to attempting topractice the golden rule in aspectsof day-to-day living.J. he 115 students, though living-together under one roof, came from41 different countries, all races, andall major religions. Almost all wereworld-traveled. All were doing workcomparable „ to the University ofChicago divisional level; many heldhigh-ranking fellowships. All but tenwere enrolled at the University ofChicago, in fields ranging from archaeology, bio-chemistry and politicalscience to nursing education.Their idea of brotherhood turnedout to be wide enough for 79 percentto hold a positive, affirmative beliefin the concept. There were indeed eleven in the sample who doubted ordiscarded brotherhood as meaningless,or limited to "siblings only" or "physiological uniformity." These wereclassed as "non-believers in brotherhood" in the study. Three others didnot know whether they believed inbrotherhood, many fewer than the 23agnostics as concerned belief in God.The others gave definitions rangingfrom what brotherhood is not, e.g.,"not harming others," and otherneutral definitions, through "a modicum of tolerance and good will/'"social interdependence;" and on todefinitions such as "mutual fair treatment," "regard for other individuals,"and "tolerance."Arranged upon a continuum, thesedefinitions went onward from tolerance and other expressions of "open-mindedness" to such positive attitudes as "understanding," "respect,""sympathy;" on to indicators ofpositive action: "sharing," "generosity," "kindness," "sacrifice," "forgiveness" and regard for all men asfriends and equals. The definitionsculminated in combinations using theword love: "love for all peoples,""equality, humanity, and love for all,""love and conscious devotion."When the golden rule was cited,descriptions graded onto a religious B,>ut did the fact that the greatmajority believed in and definedbrotherhood positively, relate to International House? Did our newcomerand his friends come and continue tolive in International House throughinterest or desire for "brotherhood"?After two quarters residence in theHouse, our newcomer, now no longernew, and most of the other "old-timers," although they laughed alittle in embarrassment about it, saidthat "helping to further brotherhood"was indeed a motive for their livingin International House. Almost 72percent were so motivated. Forty-fiveof the total 82 used the actual word"brotherhood." The rest cited aspectsof the concept included in theirearlier definitions of itProportionately more Americanthan non-American students believedaffirmatively in brotherhood (81 percent of the American vs 78 percentforeign), and said they wanted to livein the House to further it (79 percentAmericans vs 66 percent foreign).This may stem from the fact that, unless they are particularly interestedin International House, Americanscan find other places to live.Another purpose of the founders, toprovide a comfortable, convenientplace to live for students who, in6 THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINEearlier days, had considerable troublein rinding suitable housing, was alsogiven as a motive for residency bythe large majority of students. But21 percent of the Americans made nomention of any such material attraction. African, Asian, Middle Eastern,and British Commonwealth studentswrote in the additional motive offinding "safety" and "security" inInternational House.\J ur resident, with his fellow old-time residents, had been alternatelyamazed at, thrilled with, and foundhimself fighting against the extensiveHouse activities program which, according to present House DirectorHarry T. Fultz, is designed for intellectual, intercultural, and person-to-person exchange involved inunderstanding and furthering brotherhood. The battle some residents experienced was in snatching time fromstudies for activities, or vice-versa.Yet despite lamentations of veryheavy University work loads our resident, and every other individual inthe sample replying, took part in atleast one regular planned House activity. Eighty percent participatedfrequently, regularly, or in the planning of one or more major activity.Most participated in several.Student leadership positions arerotated enough to spread responsibility among residents of all nations andin all fields. For example, studentrepresentatives to the House Councilare elected for a two -quarter term;officers for one quarter only.Of the 29 Americans who heldleadership jobs, 27 indicated "furthering brotherhood" had been amotive for living in the House.xTLbove all, as our newcomer grewinto an old resident, he came to knowthat personal contacts with his fellowresidents meant more to him thananything else in the House. Sharingthe floor bathroom together with floormates who dressed in odd clothes,some even wearing turbans as theybathed, talking the while in OxfordEnglish or strange- to-him tongues;discussing geography, politics andother topics with fellow residents inthe cafeteria during meals or whilerelaxing in the lounge; attending activities and meeting still other people,these were rated unforgettable byresidents. Everyone who replied to the questionnaire said he had made acquaintances and friends. Eighty-two percent thought they had formed at leastone friendship in the House thatwould last a lifetime. Most studentsgot to know many members of theopposite sex. A number subsequentlymarried fellow residents, including thewriter.All but one person felt they haddefinitely "grown in understanding"of other cultures, races, nationalities,religions, fields of knowledge, politicalideologies, and/or just "strange ideas"or themselves, through House life.Beyond this, our resident and mostof his fellows (81 percent) were willing to state that they had not onlyreceived, but contributed to International House. More than a thirdthought they had helped other individuals, furthered personal understanding, and furthered activities. Theothers said they had done one or theother.More than three -fourths said theythought these contributions couldhelp "further understanding betweenpeoples and cultures," "contribute tointernational brotherhood," and/or be"done by many on a large scale.'"All Americans who thought theyhad made a contribution had listedfurthering brotherhood as a motivefor House residency.JLfut these "objectively trained"graduate students familiar with laboratory and IBM techniques not onlylooked inward at their own beliefs,desires, responses to the House. Asan objective entity which had existedfor a quarter of a century in Chicago,what really is the current purposeof International House? they wereasked.In expressions as diverse as theirdefinitions of brotherhood, all but oneresident replying concluded brotherhood, in one or more of its forms, isthe purpose of International Housetoday as of yore. "To further brotherhood for the world," "to live brotherhood in the House," "further understanding and fellowship among allpeoples of the world," "realize thesolidarity of all humanity," "worktoward world peace." Further theysaid it is a place "to develop ambassadors of good will to return to theircountries and states," "to develop esteem for other peoples," "to reducediscrimination and prejudice." Although the "sophisticated circle"of our old-time resident consideredwords used by House founders"far too flowery," 72 percent of thesample, nevertheless, checked one ormore founding expressions affirmingthe House as "a world home," "torchbearer," "powerful influence for abetter world," "place to serve," and/or"a conspicuous, beautiful symbol ofworld brotherhood."Seven-tenths of the residents further concluded that "brotherhooddefinitely exists today in InternationalHouse. All but two said one or more"brotherhood attitudes" are developedthrough House life, mainly; understanding, appreciation, and open-mindedness. Even in criticisms, contained in an appendix together withsuggestions by the residents, brotherhood as a goal was evident.In the final analysis, althoughfrowning or laughing at the high-sounding terms of "more idealisticforbears," today's resident usuallydoes see the same basic meaning, importance, and relevance in brotherhood. The concept and goal appearedequally meaningful in many phrases,deeper and greater than any words.As a Latin American Indian whohad lived in the House more thanfive years expressed it: "InternationalHouse is not a house but a home, ormore. It's an individual thing, verydear to me . . . People don't feel leftout here. There is an intimate senseof belongingness. Even if in a groupwithin a group, one still feels part ofa whole . . . The House proves thatpeople can live together. Brotherhoodis an acceptance cf people withoutany difference."A shy Asian found "good will atInternational House vivid in everything," and a Middle Eastern historiansaw the House as a "social device todevelop the international mind, a successful step toward the internationalcommunity." Said he: "The socialaspect is more important than thepolitical in creating the internationalmind, and through this mind thepotential cooperation among nationscan be fulfilled."An American summed it up as "aminiature community of internationalunderstanding and love. These peopleare here as in few places, and couldnot know each other otherwise. Wehave the chance to put brotherhoodinto practice here on a small scale."JUNE, 1958 7Mitchell Tower BellsVoices of Historyr ROM THE early centuries of theChristian era," a historian tells us,"bells have been rung to mark thedivisions of the day, to summon thefaithful to prayer, to announce tidings of joy and sorrow. Bells havesounded the alarm of fire and thetocsin of war, and have given the signal for many a deed of terror. Theyhave pealed in victory, and tolled indefeat to mark the closing of wars.We might call them Voices of history.' "So, in a sense, is the ten-bell AliceFreeman Palmer Memorial Chime inMitchell Tower "a voice of history."Intimately associated with the life ofthe University since the first decadeof the century, the bells have markedthe hours, sounded chapel call, pealedin victory, tolled in sorrow, and joyfully and, on occasion, solemnly, proclaimed holidays and special anniversaries.On June 9, the fiftieth anniversaryof the dedication of the peal or chimeof bells will be celebrated. Portionsof the original chime dedication service will be reenacted and a bronzeplaque will be unveiled in memory ofRoy B. Nelson (1877-1956), firstMitchell Tower chime-master.Nelson, a graduate of the Class of1901, was an assistant in the Department of Greek from 1911-19, and aninstructor in the Extension (homestudy) Department from 1912-35. Heserved as chime-master from 1909-19.AT one time the bells sounded everyfifteen minutes. Older alumni willremember hearing the WestminsterChime sounded, with the "tenor" bellmarking the hours. In the ringingchamber of Mitchell Tower, the oldclock mechanism, designed and madeby the boys of the Chicago ManualTraining School, later made a part ofUniversity High School, may still be seen. In 1932, the mechanism wasturned off forever, for in that yearthe great Parsifal Chime of Rockefeller Memorial Chapel began itsregular time keeping for the University and the community.Also silent today is the change-ringing which made Mitchell Towerhighly unique among bell towers inAmerica.In "ringing" properly so called,the bells are swung through acomplete revolution. "Chiming" is thetechnical term for swinging the bellsjust far enough to be struck by theclapper, or to produce tones by striking the stationery bells with smallhammers. The latter method is usedin all mechanically operated chimesor carillons. Both the carillon inRockefeller Memorial Chapel and thechime in Mitchell Tower are playedby means of a keyboard or levers.Mitchell Tower was modeled afterMagdalen Tower at Oxford. The tenbells in Mitchell, like the ten bells atMagdalen, were installed for change -ringing, i.e., with ropes and wheels.This is standard procedure in Englandwhere tune playing on bells is lookedupon with suspicion as fit only forforeigners. Almost all good Englishbell towers — and there are some fivethousand of them — are equipped forchange-ringing only. Outside Englandthere are only a few. Mitchell Toweris one of fifteen in North America.For a few brief years change-ringing was actually practiced in Chicagoby a band of eight ringers importedfrom England for this purpose. (Whenit became known that a peal of bellswrould be hung in Mitchell Tower,some twenty-two expert ringers ofEngland expressed their desire tocome to this country to ring the Chicago bells.) An early issue of theMagazine recorded: "Every Saturdayevening from 7:30 to 8:30 these men practiced, until the ringing-room hadto be surrendered to the decoratorsand carpenters."Suspension of the practice sessionswas welcome relief for at least onemember of the University community,who, in a letter dated July 20, 1908,wrote:It is half past nine as I write this note,just three quarters of an hour a,fter theinitiation, for the night apparently, ofyour hellish chimes. Some boy, I suspect,has stolen up to the bell-tower and isamusing himself to his heart's contentwith the diabolical device . . . Someday, if you persist in these wretched executions, there surely will be an uprisingin the neighborhood and an endeayormade to have your unseemly ding-donging stopped for all time. Braying donkeysand baying curs have been suppressedere this and it is not altogether improbable that college quidnuncs can be enjoined from committing their confounded,disconcerting, brain-harrowing, bellbanging nuisances.P.S.: Ten o'clock, after a promising respite, and the devil's deputies are at itagain.J. HE first successful peal upon thebells was made Saturday, November21, 1908, when upon six bells a pealof Plain Bob Minor, constituting 720changes in 26 minutes, was rung. Oneof the original ringers in this band,Frances J. Rumes, is still living inChicago.By 1911, however, the change-ringing had stopped. A letter of DavidA. Robinson, Secretary to the President, written in 1914, noted dryly:"We have never been able to do muchwith change ringing owing to thenervousness of our neighbors."Preserved in the University archivesare two pieces of correspondencewhich attest that July 4, 1910, musthave been an especially trying dayin the life of campus residents. In a8 THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINEletter to Robertson, W. C. Gore wrote:It is between three and four o'clock inthe afternoon of a "sane" Fourth of Julyand I find myself suddenly thrust to theragged edge of dementia by the insaneding-dongings of those everlasting bells.If I were a, self respecting student, Ishould proceed at once to organize an expedition to drag them down from thebelfry the next dark night and makeversunkene Glocke of them all in thebottom of Lake Michigan.Being only an instructor "not in residence," I can only sit in my office andwonder what idiot has been licensed tomangle the Sabbath calm of this memorial day with the maddening repetitiousjangling of a boiler factory in Hades. Isthis patriotism? Or is this a celebrationof Jeffries' victory at Reno? Have peaceable, well disposed citizens, who lack interest in an auditory moving picture of aprize-fight, however realistic, no holidayrights worth respecting?If the chimes ter is merely undergoingnecessary practice in five finger exercises,I ta.ke it all back. But if this unwontedclangor is intended to be in the nature ofa celebration, patriotic or fistic as the casemay be, I protest against it as a childishand barbaric orgy, and I shall pray thatanother year fire-works will be substituted for it, if no other higher or moredignified expression of academic patriotism can be found.Briefly, but no less agonizingly, astudent pleaded in a postcard:Is there any way by which the University of Chicago may be prevailed uponto discontinue that barbarous piece ofmusic that was played so many times thisp.m. on the chimes? The piece is maddening and I feel that I must rush out anddo some awful deed while the thing lasts.W HILE change -ringing was discontinued, tune playing or "clocking" asthe English call it, was practiced fromthe first and never permitted to lapse.The first long-term tune-player, RoyNelson, rang from 1909 to 1919. Achime master who rang for four yearswas Donald Bond, now Professor ofEnglish. At the present time, the bellsare rung by student members of theSocietas Campanariorum (Society ofBell-Ringers) under the direction ofJames R. Lawson, chapel carillonneur.Each night at 10:05 one of the members of the Societas rings the "AlmaMater." It is in fulfillment of a wishexpressed by Coach Amos AlonzoStagg in his now famous letter toPresident William Rainey Harper.Wrote Stagg:It is with the greatest pleasure andsatisfaction that I herewith send you a check for $1,000 as a gift to the University. It was just a year ago during mysickness, you will remember, that thethought of making this gift came to me.I was greatly depressed and worried bythe spirit shown by our team in theThanksgiving Day contest and in castingabout for possible helpful things, mymind went back to my own college daysat Yale. The sweet chimes of BattellChapel had always been an inspirationto me and I recalled the many, manytimes during the period of my trainingthat that cheery hopeful ten o'clockchime had led me to fall asleep with aquiet determination for a greater devotion to duty and to my ideal.The thought came to me and filled mewith deepest satisfaction. Why not havea good night chime for our own athletes— to let its sweet cadence have a lastword with them before they fell asleep;to speak to them of love and loyalty andsacrifice for their university and of hopeand inspiration and endeavor for themorrow.Whenever, therefore, the Alice Freeman Palmer chimes are installed, itwould be my wish to have a specialca.dence rung for our athletes who arein training, perhaps five to ten minutesafter the regular chimes at ten o'clock.Listeners to this bell benedictionof the day may occasionally hear immediately following the "Alma Mater"an Alpha Delta Phi fraternity song,for the ringing has been faithfullyperformed for several years by BruceCushna and other members of hisfraternity.SPECIAL concerts on the birthdaysof Alice Freeman Palmer (February21), William Rainey Harper (July 26),and Chancellor Lawrence Kimpton(October 7) are rung by other studentbell ringers, as are the noon chimeconcerts at 12:15, Monday throughFriday, and the six- o'clock eveningconcert to mark completion of theUniversity working day. Thus thebells have been rung an average threetimes a day, five days a week, for thepast fifty years.Annually on January 30, the 2,443-pound "tenor" or largest bell inMitchell Tower is tolled, commemorating the anniversary of the beheading of Charles I. This is in keepingwith the Societas' endeavor to maintain a campanological link betweenMitchell Tower and its prototypeMagdalen Tower at Oxford. Anotheris the so-called "Mitchell TowerSpring Ceremony," patterned on theannual May Day morning ceremonyat Magdalen, where the Latin "Hym- nus Eucharisticus" is sung by ablack-robed choir atop the tower. AtMitchell Tower this ancient springceremony is re-enacted with chimemusic, brass choir and English handbells on campus during the annualFestival of the Arts.A new campanological link will beforged between Mitchell and Magdalen on restoration of the change-ringing apparatus at Chicago. A $1,000 gifthas been received by the Universityfor this purpose from Samuel N.Pickard, a nephew of Roy Nelson. Itwas Pickard's contributions to the RoyB. Nelson Memorial Fund, togetherwith the generosity of Ben F. Schreff-ler, S. L. Greenwood, Gertrude Smith,and Margot Hump, that made possiblepurchase of the plaque which will beunveiled June 9 in memory of theUniversity's first chime master.This summer, while abroad, Lawson,(see Quadrangle News, page 16), willvisit Mears and Stainbank Foundry inEngland, which cast the MitchellTower bells, to study means of reactivating the bells for change-ringing. The "clocking" or "chiming" apparatus, which enables the playing oftunes on the bells, would be retainedin addition to the change -ringing.15 ELLS are a most enduring memorial. Indestructible, they have thecapacity to serve generation upongeneration, and to speak — to speak amessage as no other form of memorial.So the University Memorial Commitstee must have thought when it selected a chime of bells to commemorate the life and gracious influenceof Alice Freeman Palmer, Chicago'sfirst Dean of Women."The bells will serve to stimulatethat sentiment which by tradition belongs to life in an American College. The playing of a classicWiegenlied at sunset, the notes of anold hymn like "Naomi" on a Sabbathmorning, the tolling in sorrow whenone of our number is carried hence,the joyful ringing on days of triumph—will become a part of memories andassociations which time can neverobliterate. More than this, the chimeswill be a perpetual suggestion of theappeal which raises the spirit abovesordid and material things — an appealwhich is to be especially associatedwith the memory of Alice FreemanPalmer."To this end, the Mitchell Towerbells have served both as a symboland a voice of history.JUNE, 1958 9&V*'; Letter Homer *¦•f<:^WThe Ferneas* Bob and "BJ.*** wearing the traditional abbaya ofMoslem women, in the garden of their Daghara village homeBa Ki.rz\BKTii War nock KkkxkaJ_raq, nearly ten thousand milesfrom home, hardly seems a likelymeeting place for University of Chicago alumni, staff and students. Yetthis fall, my husband Bob and I raninto no less than seven other peoplewho are now in Iraq and have someconnection with the University.Bob is doing research in Iraq forhis doctorate. We came over in September, 1956, Bob as anthropologicalassistant to Bob Adams* and Dr.Vaughn Crawford of the AmericanSchools of Oriental Research, on theOriental Institute sponsored Iraq surface survey charting courses of ancientcanal systems in the middle Euphratesregion. Later Bob branched off intocontemporary irrigation problems, andin December, 1956, settled in Daghara,a small village about two hundredmiles south of Baghdad. I followed inJanuary when our house was ready.We have been here since,* Robert M. Adams, Jr., '47, AM '52, PhD '56,Assistant Professor of Anthropology and Research Associate. Oriental Institute. The first months were a little difficult, partly because our Arabic wasso painfully meager. It isn't astound-ingly good now, but at least we cancommunicate. Considering how reallystrange two Americans must haveseemed in this isolated, conservativelittle Moslem community, the hospitality and friendliness we have foundis remarkable.We have been very happy here.Our half -acre of wild garden filledwith stately old date palms, orange,banana and lemon trees, and a finegrape arbor, was a haven in the burning summer last year.In accordance with the local socialcode which separates the sexes andkeeps the women in semi-purdah, Ihave met and visit only with women.Bob sits only with men — in thesheikh's muthiif or council-house, inthe coffee shops and in the suq ormarket. To ease the tension whichthe presence of an unveiled westernwoman would create here, I decided, Postmark :DAGHARA,IRAQwhen outside my house, to wear theabbaya, a long, black all-envelopingmantle which Moslem women haveworn for centuries to shield themselves from the eyes of m^n.We are guests of Sheikh MujiciAtiyah A'Sha'alan, chief of the El-Shabanna tribe, which Bob is studying, and also head of a larger confederation of middle Euphrates tribescalled the El-Agra. Our two-roomhouse of mud and brick with itsbeamed ceiling of hand-hewn datepalm logs, was built by Sheikh Mujidfor his youngest wife. After shemoved into the larger house with theother women, it stood empty for sixyears. Sheikh Mujid offered this littleplace to us when he heard of Bob'sinterest in studying the tribe and thesocial organization of irrigation in thearea.At first, all women in abbaya lookedthe same to me, but I came to realizethat despite the uniformity of the costume, each woman managed to maintain a slight distinction in appearance.Some abbayas are made of Frenchsilk crepe, some of homespun. Sometimes a narrow band of black silkbraid or embroidery embellishes theedge; rich women will attach goldbaubles and short gold chains to thesides of the garment. I have noticedthat the gold pin or chelab, whichfastens the head-dress under theabbaya, is different for each woman.I have learned to cook Iraqi food:crusty rice with almonds and raisinsand saffron; dolma, chicken stewedwith pomegranate seeds and walnuts;and marag, a sort of vegetable stew.The women taught me. While drinking tea together, we have embroidered pillowcases with Arab proverbsand adages. Last September, I accompanied a group of tribal womenon a pilgrimage to Kerbela, one ofthe major shrines of the Shi'ite Moslems. For me, it was a most interesting as well as trying event. I found10 THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINE:%the face veil, which I had to wear forfour days, extremely hot and uncomfortable, but the pilgrimage itself wasrewarding, well worth minor discomforts.My experiences with the womenwill be added to Bob's general anthropological data, which he has beengathering from many sources. Lastfall, when the blazing summer heathad abated, Bob frequently rode outon horseback to visit the various clansettlements of the tribe, which arelocated in a scattered circle severalmiles from Daghara.One evening, last September, weheard a knock on our gate; it wasBob Adams. He had arrived in Iraqonly a week before. He stayed forsupper, spent the night on a camp cotin our kitchen, and went on the nextday. Adams, who returned to theStates after completing the surfacesurvey project, is back in Iraq wTitha new and larger Oriental Instituteexpedition, headed by Dr. ThorkildJacobsen.** The new project is beingfinanced by the powerful Iraq Development Board appointed by the PrimeMinister in 1952 to direct 70 percentof the nation's oil revenues into agiant development program.Headquartered at Khafaje, north ofBaghdad, the expedition is studyingancient irrigation and agriculturalpractices in the Diyala River area.The Diyala is a branch of the Tigris.When completed in June, the studyis expected to provide valuable information on past solutions to problemsof soil salination and deterioration foruse by the Development Board inplanning future irrigation and drainage schemes to increase the productivity of Iraq's farm land.Fuad Safar (MA '38) and Mohammed Mustafa Ali of Iraq's Directorateof Antiquities are aiding in the work ***."*%****Phd '29. a professor in the Oriental Institute and editor of the Assyrian Dictionary.¦ Secretary of the Department of OrientalLanguages and Literature at the University.I'.S, Information Service tilioto Depression made by excavations at Tablet Hill* Nippur* whichhas yielded thousands of valuable Sumerian clay tabletsof the expedition.

He is spending tenmonths in the Baghdad office, working in the USIS press, radio and cultural sections to determine whichtype of work suits him best. He thenwill be assigned to another post wherehe will complete his two-year tourin the area of his specialty. A formersports editor of the Maroon and startrack man at Chicago, Sam has beentravelling in the south of Iraq witha visiting American physical education specialist, demonstrating trackand field techniques. He spent aweek-end with us after Christmas.We also entertained Professor CarlHaines of the Oriental Institute.

Nippur is oneof the major Sumerian sites in Iraq(Ur and Warka are the others). Professor Haines is excavating an extremely large Sumerian temple whichwas partly uncovered during operations in 1955-56.The Nippur staff brought us a mostwelcome present: the loan of a collapsible rubber bathtub. We weredelighted! Baths out of a dishpan arenot quite the same somehow.I think both Bob and I will besorry to leave Daghara and ourfriends here. We have come to likeand respect thoroughly the kindnessand hardiness of the southern Araband his deep pride in his beliefs andtraditions.Bob hopes to work in some privatelibraries in Baghdad, this spring, filling in background material and organizing his notes toward a first draftof his dissertation. But before wehead home in June (Bob will registerat the University again next fall), oneof the great holidays of the Islamicreligious year will take place. In May,at the end of the Ramathan, a monthof fasting and penitence, all of theEl-Shabanna tribe wall gather in Daghara for three days of annual feasting, dancing and general fellowship.We hope to be there, too.11NEW YORK: University Treasurer J.

The latter wall becoalesced belts of cities, each beltforming a megalopolis. One megapoliswill extend from Milwaukee to SouthBend. Present Chicago metropolitanarea wall have 13 million residents.

Allen Wallis, Dean of theSchool of Business: — Business education evolved in the same wray asprofessional schools of law, medicine,and engineering, with emphasis onunderlying knowledge, such as thebehavioral sciences, as well as theprinciples of business practices andoperation. Management problems ofa magnitude inconceivable today.Frances S. Chase, Chairman of theDepartment of Education: Emphasison intellectual development as theprimary task of the schools; a rigorously selected curriculum content;teaching as a profession attractingmany of the most creative minds ofsociety; a unified program of federal,state, and local support for educationwith local control retained.John A. Simpson, Professor ofPhysics, raised questions rather thanmaking a prophecy. "We do notknow whether w^e shall succeed inestablishing proper conditions forscholarship and leadership in thepublic schools of our country," hesaid. "A university's problem in science is not the solution of scientificproblems but rather the ability ofthe United States to sustain universities so that they may participate inthe exponential growth of scienceand technology in the world. Unlesswe meet this challenge our nationwill not produce a great culture andmay not even survive."In one of the preserved speeches,Mott outlined the development of hispioneering plan of a school-centered community, which he originatedin Flint, Mich., in the early 20's.From a modest beginning the program now involves 35 schools, 800courses, and 22,000 registrations. Itsobject is to give to "the men andwomen in shops and factories an opportunity ... to learn what they mayhave wanted to learn but did not,because they had to leave school orfor other reasons," Mott said.13l'lioto l>\ .\liivn;inl L. l';irKtTW arren C.

The largestgrant, $72,678, is for psychologicalstudies on aging to be done by William E. Henry, Associate Professorof Psychology. The second largest,$51,868, is for purchase of an electronmicroscope for clinical research. Theother grants will aid basic investigations of hormones, cancer, leukemia,and changes in the lungs and kidneys\\\ certain diseases.Dr. Charles B. Huggins, Directorof the Ben May Laboratory for CancerResearch, has been named to membership in the Order of Pour leMerite by the German Federal Republic, in recognition of his contributions to science.A grant of $1,375,000 has beenmade by the Ford Foundation to theUniversity for the support of theexpanded program of teaching and research of the School of Business. Twoendowed professorships of $500,000each are provided in the grant. Another $250,000 provides, at an average $50,000 a year over a five-yearperiod, fellowships for PhD students.The remaining $125,000 is for supportof faculty research over the next fiveyears.One of the two endowed professorships will be held by a director ofresearch for the School. The othercovers a rotating professorship inteaching or research. The grant movesthe School appreciably toward its ambitious ten-year plan of development. The faculty now numbers 46.Many of its members are social scientists rather than orthodox businessschool specialists, in line with a majoraim of the school. This is to anticipateand relate changes in society to business problems, rather than to recognize social forces only after business itself already has adjusted tothem. An enrollment increase fromthe present 700 to 1,800 students in1966 is anticipated, including studentson the Midway, in the ExecutiveProgram, and in courses offereddowntown.The contribution of raw materialsand agriculture to economic growthwill be studied with a grant, of $125,000from the Ford Foundation.

"If youwatch carefully," she advises, "youwill see their pictures in the localpress."German Faculty ExchangeThe University's faculty exchangeprogram with the University ofFrankfurt (Germany) enters its tenthyear this Spring, with two Chicagofaculty members participating. RobertL. Miller, U of C Associate Professorof Geology, is organizing a Europeanmarine geology symposium and lecturing on the application of statisticalprobabilities in studying ocean sedimentation patterns. Everett C.Hughes, Professor of Sociology, isstudying the relation of occupationsto German social structures.Reinhold Baer, Professor of Mathematics at Frankfurt, Hermann Hartmann, Professor and Director ofFrankfurt's Institute of PhysicalChemistry, and Dr. Peter Holtz, Professor and Director of Frankfurt'sPharmacology and PhysiologicalChemistry Institute, are spending theSpring Quarter at Chicago.Lawson to play in BrusselsChicago alumni visiting the WorldFair in Brussels need not be surprisedif they hear the familiar chiming oftheir "Alma Mater" sweeping over thefairgrounds in Belgium this summer.James R. Lawson Rockefeller Memorial Chapel carillonneur, stated heplans to include it in his repertoire oftwice daily concerts which he will giveat the Fair. Lawson has been engaged to play during July and August on the"Carillon Americana," a new electronic carillon installed in the Vaticanpavilion at the Brussels fair. Duringhis absence the Rockefeller MemorialCarillon on campus will be played byCharles S. Rhyne and Dennis Murphy, student carillonneurs.Baseballers HopefulLike the Maroon basketball team,which was the best in years, the baseball squad this season should turnin a notably improved performance.Coach Kyle Anderson has what heconsiders the best squad in a decade,with few standout stars, but a re spectable array of pitchers and hitters.Chicago's sports policy is to playany student who has not had threeyears of varsity competition so Anderson's players range all the way fromcollege freshmen to graduate students.Five lettermen are back from lastseason, but newcomers will contributethe improvement over last year.In another sports area the Maroongolf -team is having a hard go of itthis year, losing three meets to Valparaiso, Illinois, and Wayne State.The tennis team is still hopeful, having recently beaten Fifth Army, butfinishing last in a four-way meet atEvanston.16 THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINEAutomation and BusinessThe University's third annual conference on automation, operationsresearch, and business planning washeld April 21 and 22 at the MorrisonHotel. New developments in salesanalysis and prediction, engineering,and basic research, and their effectson the formulation of business policywere discussed. Several of the speakers urged business leaders not to getprematurely excited about automation. A "conservative approach" wasadvanced by Donald MacGregor, vicepresident of Zenith Radio Corporation. Rear Admiral Rawson Bennett,chief of naval research, warned that"automation might magnify obstaclesin the way of the introduction of trulynew products."Professor Yale Brozen of the Business School, predicted automationwill produce consequences of a muchsmaller order of magnitude thanthose to which the economy has adjusted in the past, but that theresultant gains may carry us froma mass democracy to a mass aristocracy.Automation, Brozen said, givespromise of a university educatedcommon man who will be a worldtraveler, have a summer place in thecountry, and be able to call on superior medical services to maintain hishealth."We must realize that there is nosuch thing as technological unemployment," he said."If there were, then the numberof unemployed would increase withthe rate of technological change."Conversely, periods of large unemployment have been periods of slowtechnological change, while periodsof most rapid change have been associated with minimumal amounts ofunemployment, he pointed out.Computers and MoleculesScience's first break-through to areal understanding of the structuresof molecules and the forces betweenthem is promised by solution withhigh speed digital computers of certain highly complex mathematicalequations, according to two University of Chicago physicists.In a paper presented before the95th meeting of the National Academyof Sciences, Robert S. Mulliken, Burton Distinguished Service Professor,and Clemens C. J. Roothaan, Associate Professor, said that chemists for the last hundred years have had toconduct tedious and often unsuccessful experiments in order to observewhat might happen when certainmolecules are combined with others.The use of new computer programsdeveloped at the University can provide this basic information. The scientists predicted a new era for molecular physics in which chemists willbe able to explain, with unprecedented precision, the chemical properties of molecules, free radicals,molecular ions and, ultimately, thestructure of metals and other solidstate matter.The pattern of these properties canbe found by application of theSchrodinger equation, formulated in1925, but virtually impossible to solveby conventional methods. With present digital computers, the variousmotions of particles in simple diatomic molecules such as that ofnitrogen can be found. More highlydeveloped digital computers shouldpermit the application of the Schrodinger equation to such highly complex molecules as those of proteins,plastics, and rubber.In another paper presented at theWashington, D.C. meeting of theAcademy, William Taliaferro, Chairman of the Department of Microbiology; Tulio Pizzi, Visiting Professorfrom the University of Chile; andPhilip D'Alesandro, research assistant,described the biochemical defensiveby which a unique rat antibody holdsin check a microbe similar to thatwhich causes the highly fatal Africansleeping sickness.Heads Communication CommitteeJames S. Coleman, Assistant Professor of Sociology, has been namedChairman of the interdepartmentalCommittee on Communication, succeeding Douglas Waples. Waples isdue to retire upon his return fromSan Marco University, Lima, Peru,where he is studying internationalcommunication.Coleman has been a member of thefaculty since 1956. He has workedwith the Bureau of Applied SocialResearch at Columbia and has been afellow at the Center for AdvancedStudy in the Behavioral Sciences atPalo, Alto, California.The Committee on Communication,in the University's Division of SocialSciences, is organized for study ofthe impact of mass communicationson human behavior. Radiation Shown to Speed AgingLong term exposure to minutequantities of nuclear radiation has theeffect of speeding up the aging process,a study with mice at the Universityindicates. The study, according to asummary in the current issue of themonthly University of Chicago Reports, also indicates that a large singledose of neutron radiation does lessbiological damage than the same totalradiation administered in a series ofsmaller doses. This contradicts thetheory that the effects are the sameif the radiation totals are equal.The study is sponsored by theUnited States Air Force and is headedby Dr. John Doull, Assistant Professor of Pharmacology and AssistantDirector of the University's U.S.A.F.Radiation Laboratory. Some 4,500 miceare being used in the experiments,which began in July, 1956, to providesome indications of the effects of smallbut continuous doses of gamma andneutron radiations.Except for 600 controls, the miceare divided into 110 groups, each ofwhich was scheduled for a radiationdosage whose combination of total intensity, exposure duration, frequencyof exposure, and type of radiationdiffers from the rest. Relative tohuman lifetimes, the test animals wereirradiated from ages 10 to 25 years.In young mice in the top dosagegroups, radiation slowed normalgrowth so that they gained weight ata decreasing rate. By the end of theirfirst year of life, all of the mice in thetwo top neutron groups, and 20 percent of those in the equivalent gammagroups, had severe cataracts, an affliction of normal mice of considerablyolder ages.Another example of the aging effectis the wasting away of the iris of theeye, not seen in normal mice untilthey are 27 months old, but whichappears in irradiated mice 14 monthsold. The dark brown coats of one inevery ten mice exposed to gammarays turned to spotty gray. The coatsof all the neutron- bombarded micehave turned gray; the heavier thedosage, the lighter the color.Doull measures radiation damage inRBE (relative biological effect) afactor which compares the effects ofneutrons with those of gamma rays.The experiments show that in chronicneutron exposures neutrons are fivetimes as damaging as gamma rays,while in larger but single-exposureJUNE, 1958 17doses, this factor drops to two. Relative to cataracts only, neutrons are15 times as harmful as gamma rays.In regard to the safety precautionsnow taken at most atomic installations, Doull's findings indicate theyare adequate.In the coming year, as most of theanimals die, Doull hopes to obtaininformation as to the effects of chronicexposure in the development of cancers, infections and other diseases.Argonne Report CardArgonne National Laboratory hasreported several new scientificachievements, including a further increase in the operating power level ofits Experimental Boiling Water Reactor, development of a new tracerisotope method, and a new theory regarding meteorites.The operating power level of thelaboratory's EBWR has been increased twice in the last few months,bringing its power output to morethan three times the original designmaximum of 20,000 kilowatts of heat,and pointing to possible further reduction in cost of atomically producedelectricity to make it economicallyfeasible.Now being used at Argonne is anew method for accurately determining the amount of tracer isotopes in a compound administered to a plant oranimal. The process utilizes rays fromtritium, which are much weaker thanthose emitted by Carbon 14, the tracercompound usually used. Thus thetritium rays are able to show muchmore accurately exactly where thecompound is within a living cell.Evidence to support a new theoryabout the formation of meteorites hasbeen reported by three physicists fromthree different countries working together at Argonne and the EnricoFermi Institute for Nuclear Studies.The scientists are David C. Hess,PhD '49; Johannes Geiss, of BernSwitzerland; and Friedrich M. Bege-mann, of Mainz, Germany. Their findings support the theory that meteorites result from collisions betweenplanets or asteroids comparatively recent in the scale of celestial time.Tools of Atomic AgeMechanical "hands" with a sense oftouch are among atomic age "tools"being exhibited by Argonne NationalLaboratory at the World Fair inBrussels, Belgium. The mechanicalhands are electronically controlledmaster-slave servo manipulatorswhich reproduce the basic motions ofhuman hands and reflect back to theoperator the forces which are exertedat the slave, thereby registering a sense of feel. Argonne also is exhibiting a working model of a liquid -liquid extraction system at the Fair,and a film showing a 100-channelpulse-height analyzer.To head Theological SeminaryThe Rev. Howard F. Schomer, 43,a secretary for interchurch aid andservice to refugees of the WorldCouncil of Churches, has been electedpresident of Chicago TheologicalSeminary. He will assume his newpost January 1, 1959, succeeding theRev. Dr. Arthur Cushman McGiffert,Jr., who is retiring.A native of Chicago and a memberand at one time assistant minister ofthe First Congregational Church ofOak Park, Dr. Schomer holds a PhDdegree from Harvard and was graduated from the Chicago TheologicalSeminary in 1941. While a seminarystudent, he was assistant to the Deanof Rockefeller Memorial Chapel of theUniversity.Because of his religious attitudesconcerning warfare, Dr. Schomer refused to accept a draft status as aclergyman during World War II andregistered as a conscientious objector.He began his service abroad in 1946when, as a representative of theAmerican board of commissioners forforeign missions, he became a teacherat the College Sevenol, LeChambon,France. He joined the World Councilof Churches staff in Geneva, Switzerland, in 1955.The seminary, non- denominationalbut historically linked to the Congregational Christian churches, is amember of the federation of theological schools at the University.Lectures on CampusAs part of the national observanceof "Law Day— U.S.A.," William G.Stratton, governor of Illinois, gavea public lecture at the University onMay 1. The lecture was sponsoredby the Law School.The career of Edward DouglassWhite, chief justice of the UnitedStates Supreme Court from 1910 to1921, was discussed by Chicago attorney Peter Fitzpatrick in anotherlecture sponsored by the Law School.A committee of interested Chicagoanshas been formed to establish anEdward Douglass White Lecture Hallin the new Law School building nowunder construction at 60th street andUniversity avenue.New installation by which a beam of high energy protons is directed to remoteexperimental areas permits previously impossible nuclear physics and biologicalexperiments.

The newly-found structure is identical to themuscle of animals, both in composition and in the way it receives itsenergy for action.The discovery allows the detailedexplanation of the biochemical stepsby which the T2 virus attacks abacterium commonly found in thecolon. Roughly, what happens is thatthe virus, electrically attracted to acell, releases an enzyme that opens ahole in the wall of the cell. Then itsmuscular tail pushes a needle-likecore into the center of a cell, and injects a chemical which is essentially amixture of genes. This chemical destroys the nucleus of the cell andtakes over its control functions, directing the assembly of cellular materials toward the production of newviruses. The entire sequence of eventstakes about 20 minutes, Kozloff said.While this particular virus is uniquein its tail structure, and itself causesno known human diseases, otherviruses such as polio and influenza may attack cells by similar chemicalmeans. The implication of the findings are that, since it is difficult tostop the growth of a virus once itis inside a cell without interferingwith the growth of the host, perhapsselective chemicals could be developed to shield cells from virus invasion.Radioactive Labs for Cancer StudySix new laboratories for basic research, including a "hot cave" roomfor experiment with highly radioactive mateiials, were opened recentlyat the Argonne Cancer ResearchHospital on campus. The new laboratories are located on the basementlevel, and are in addition to fourlaboratories and a radioactive isotopepharmacy which have been operating on that floor since the buildingwas opened five years ago.The "hot cave" is seven feet long,five feet wide, and seven feet highand is equipped with mechanical manipulators for remotely handlinghighly radioactive materials fromoutside its 15- inch thick steel andferrophosphorus concrete walls. It islocated in one of two high radiationlevel laboratories under the direction of Dr. Paul V. Harper, Jr., Associate Professor of Surgery.The Argonne Cancel' Research Hospital is the nation's first "atomic hospital," built exclusively for the useof all forms of radiation in the treatment and study of cancer.Cancer Cure ProgressDr. George V. Leroy, AssociateDean of the Biological Sciences, predicted there is "a reasonable prospectof developing the individual's resistance to cancer through support ofthe doctors and researchers workingtoward a cure through chemistry andcancer transplant experiments to helphim mobilize his defenses againstcancer in the way an immunity todiphtheria is developed."Discovery of an anti- folic acidchemical has saved the lives of 16women affected by chorio carcinoma(a rare development during pregnancy), Le Roy said. If these 16continue to thrive, it will mean thatthe first cancer patients have beencured by chemical means.Learning how to grow cancer cellsoutside the body was of greatest importance in the start to find a meansof providing cancer immunity, he toldan American Cancer Society group.JUNE, 1958 19Prehistoric RemainsExcavations by University anthropologists have uncovered the shoresof a small extinct, lake in centralTanganyika on which East Africanscamped and operated a stone toolfactory 100,000 years ago.

Smith, AM "47, PhD '49, AssociateProfessor of History, Iowa State College. Philadelphia: J. B. LippincotfCo., 1958. Pp. 351. $6.00.If Winston Churchill had been bornin the frontier regions of theUnited States during the AmericanRevolution, instead of having been anEnglishman of noble birth whosepublic life spanned the first half ofthe 20th century, he might have hada career somewhat akin to that ofSenator Thomas Hart Benton of Missouri. They both were men of enormous vision, energy, and capacity forcombat. Romance and drama seemedto dwell with them as naturally asthey both occupied the limelightwherever they were. Disgrace ornear-disgrace in their school yearsseemed only to urge them both toheights a more respectable beginningmight have even discouraged. Without intending to imply more comparison than is warranted, the figure whostalks the pages of Elbert Smith'sbook did indeed possess the vitalityfor which Sir Winston has become asymbol in our own time.Perhaps the most favorable thingwhich can be said about MagnificentMissourian is that its subject is drawnwith enough skill to elicit the comparison just suggested. Personalityand general impression are the strongpoints of the book. Smith has shownexceptional talent in showing us thesort of man Benton was, and the bookbuilds to the kind of climax Benton'slife involved. The early duels and thefrantic, frustrated efforts to get a shotat the British during the War of 1812mirror the excitement of the Mississippi Valley frontier during the Madison administrations. The interwovencharm and tragedy which characterized Benton's family circle is poignanttestimony to the depth of the privatelife of "Old Bullion." The relentlessand finally successful effort to expunge the Senate's censure of Jackson, and his unhesitating oppositionto the presidential aspirations of hisson-in-law, John C. Fremont, because he saw in the candidacy athreat to his beloved Union, are butthe most graphic demonstrations of Elbert 8. SmithBenton's intrepid honesty and courage as a political leader. And throughall of the skillful presentation of the"human interest" material whichbrings him to life. Smith makes veryclear the recurring themes of Benton's remarkable thirty years in theUnited States Senate — liberal landpolicy, manifest destiny, hard currency, and, above all, a devotion tothe Union of the States which rankshim with Webster, John QuincyAdams, and his beloved Jackson as anarch foe of nullification and secession.Having said these things, however,one should keep in mind the limitations of the book. Its very virtuesand its modest length preclude itfrom being in any sense the definitive, scholarly biography of Benton,although Smith seems to be the master of his material and period. Hence,the book does not answer many puzzling questions relating to Benton.One would like to know, for example,a great deal more about the relationship between Benton and Jackson;how did the 1813 duel between thetwo men affect their later very closepolitical partnership? Is there a possibility that the long battle theyfought together against Webster, Clayand Calhoun was accomplished underan uneasy truce, as between the twogladiators? Also, due to the kind ofbook it is, Magnificent Missourianadds little to the understanding wehave of the complex struggles and issues of the half- century precedingthe Civil War. In general, Smith accepts standard interpretations, andsimply grafts Benton's career on tothem. This feature of the book wouldpermit almost endless questions aboutsome of the generalizations Smithmakes: was Calhoun really the arch-traitor to both the South's own enlightened self-interest and the federal20 THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINEunion that Smith paints him as being? But this line of criticism wouldrequire an essay on historiography—something which, thankfully, is notcalled for by the purpose and spiritof Smith's book. Magnificent Missourian is a sound, readable story ofa colorful American written with thelayman in view. It can only be hopedthat the book receives the audienceit deserves.One final query is irrepressible atthis point: would it not have beenappropriate for the Senate committeewhich recently enshrined Webster,Clay, and Calhoun as three of ourfive greatest senators, to have addedthe man who for years stood againstthem, at times almost unaided, andwon more often than he lost? Butthen, perhaps the present denizens ofthe chamber which echoed so longwith the roaring voice from Missouriknew best, since Thomas Hart Benton would not stay in any niche, however exalted the place or distinguished the company.Ralph L. Ketchan, Associate Editor, James Madison Papers, andResearch Associate, Department ofPolitical Science./ / The Tragic Vision. A symposiumedited by Nathan A. Scott, Jr., Assistant Professor, Federated Theological Faculty, University of Chicago.New York: Associated Press, 1957.Pp, 323. $4.50.Nathan Scott, editor of this recentvolume dealing with the problem of tragedy and Christianity, is tobe congratulated for organizing theefforts of his eleven contributors intoan integrated work. In his foreword hestates all are seeking a "counterpoiseto chaos": and, as one follows theirseveral researches, a large compositepicture emerges of the struggle ofChristian man to maintain an honestand effectual faith in a world dominated by the tragic vision. "Counterpoise to chaos" would not be genuinecounterpoise if it did not give full andsympathetic treatment to the greatfigures in literature, science, and philosophy who have penetrated into theheart of tragedy. Accordingly, theauthors of this book try to enter objectively into the worlds of Nietzsche,Hawthorne, Melville, Kafka, Shakespeare, Milton, Pascal, Goethe, Freud,Kierkegaard, Dostoevsky, and Faulk-HIHDBtOAUCH ner. Our authors do not appear assimple Christian evangelists seekingto expose alleged flaws in the tragicvision of the great authors. They attempt to see their objects of studyfrom within and to ask whether andwhat kind of "counterpoise to chaos"is actually discernible.Professor Scott, author of the chapter on Dostoevsky, has not attemptedto make any theological summary orcategorization of the findings of hiscontributors. However, the integrityof the work suggests such a summaryunder the following headings: (1)pure tragedy is a kind of Titanism or(2) a kind of Unbelief; (3) Christianity is diametrically opposed to thetragic vision, unless (4) tragedy isseen as descriptive of an Old Waycapable of being transformed into aNew Way.(1) Titanism. I take the word fromChapter V where Richard Kronercharacterizes Goethe, specificallyGoethe's Faust, as "the tragedy ofTitanism." Kroner sees Goethe asfundamentally a Greek and Renaissance thinker who, although he endsFaust with a vision of the ascent ofthe hero into heaven, believes, nevertheless, that this transfiguration is thereward of an unremitting and unfulfilled striving rather than the consequence of human contrition and divine mercy. Faust is Prometheus, theTitan, who must suffer and fall inthe effort to achieve an impossibleand infinite perfection.Variations on this theme occur inJohn Smith's chapter on Nietzsche(salvation by the promethean courage and wisdom of the creative artist)and in Albert Outler's interestingtreatment of the work of SigmundFreud. Like other great interpretersof tragedy, Freud has seen the terrible conflict between man's existenceand his desires. Freud has "domesticated" this previously cosmic conflictinto the realm of man's own mind,where, by knowledge, man can hopeto live meaningfully in the midst oftragedy,(2) Unbelief. In this type of tragedy we move out of the grand spacesof Greek drama and classical Europeanliterature into the opaque atmosphere of our own day. Scott characterizes Dostoevsky as the great progenitor of the modern tragic vision,in which a variety of fictional characters both great and small find that"virtue is illogical" and "crime isJUNE, 1958 21logical," that, as a man is true to thisnothingness, he has no choice but tobecome nothing.J. H. Miller understands FranzKafka similarly, as one who lost allhope of belief and with it all sense ofmeaning in life. He very interestinglytraces Kafka's biography through thestage when the author (not unlikeNietzsche) hoped to find integrity andsalvation in the act of creating literature, to the point where Kafka foundhimself accurately documenting hisown inner chaos to its very depths.(3) Christianity in contrast to thetragic vision is the major thrust ofthe first chapter of the book, writtenby Edmond Cherbonnier. He characterizes tragedy mainly in the vein ofTitanism, although his account wouldnot rule out Unbelief. He despairs ofany salvation in terms of a detachedand "transcendant" tragic vision. Hedescribes Christian salvation as thepower to be attached, to enter intolife, to weep, rage, struggle, and hope,all made possible by faith in the reality of God's presence and redeemingpower.Emile Cailliet speaks similarly ofthe "anguish" of Pascal who soughtfor substance and meaning all throughhis life by means of scientific learning and humanistic studies but whosesalvation was never revealed to himother than in Christian mystical experience and in the faith of the RomanCatholic Church.(4) The transformation of the tragicOld Way into the Christian New Wayis not in all respects different fromCherbonnier's vision except that itemphasizes continuity rather than disjunction between the tragic vision andthe Christian faith. The smallest, yetstill discernible, degree of continuityappears in Hyatt Waggoner's treatment of William Faulkner. Waggonershows how many of Faulkner's tragicfigures are either prototypes of Christor of believing Christians.Roy Battenhouse sees Shakespeare's tragedies as having the kindof plot which reveals the old pre-Christian dynamics of tragedy anddocuments the ways of human defeat.But he avows that Shakespeare isalso Christian in the sense of pointing beyond the old way to a Christianhope, especially in the ending of KingLear.Scott- Craig finds a similar transposition of ancient themes into Christianperspectives in Milton's mature works, especially Samson Agonistes and Paradise Lost. Pure tragic vision is nomore than "man's aesthetic atonement for his failure at omnipotence,"but tragic action itself can repeat thepattern of the Gospels and conveytheir message of hope.Paul Homer discusses Kierkegaard's predilection for dramatic literature and the drama of the Gospelsin contrast to a philosophic reductionof reality to one quality. The verydrama and conflict of tragedy is thestuff out of which faith must receivethe Good News of hope. And finally,Randall Stewart traces the tragic vision of Hawthorne and Melvillethrough their earlier and middleworks to affirmations of hope (whichhe calls "Christian") in their lateworks.The entire book is primarily a theological work. But its language,method, and insights are in keepingwith current standards of literarycriticism. Its claim of presenting"counterpoise to chaos" is not in allrespects fulfilled, nor would any tworeaders agree as to its relative success or failure in this area. But thebook serves to remind us that we canno longer speak of the Church andthe World as separate places and separate points of view. There is butone world and the work of these authors belongs in the best tradition ofa frank and open dialogue betweenchurchmen and nonchurchmen whoare driven into community by thetragic conditions obtaining withintheir common world.John F. Hayward,Assistant Professor of PhilosophicalTheology, Federated TheologicalFaculty, University of Chicago.A Passion for Anonymity. By LouisBrownlow, organizer and first directorof the Public Administration ClearingHouse, University of Chicago. TheUniversity of Chicago Press, 1958. 473pp. $7.50.f I ^HIS book and the first volume-*- of the autobiography of LouisBrownlow, A Passion for Politics,constitute worthwhile reading for thepractitioners and students of publicadministration. Together these volumes relate an absorbing story of aself-educated man who achieved aprofessional role in government. LouisBrownlow is a rare phenomenon ingovernmental affairs. He grew from asickly boyhood to become a leader in the development of 20th centurytechniques in public administration.This book begins with the transitionof Louis Brownlow from a politicalwriter and commentator to his appointment by President Wilson ascommissioner of the District ofColumbia. His career carried him toPetersburg, Va., and to Knoxville,Tenn. In each of these southern citieshe helped to establish his reputationas a city manager and as an advocateof professional management in government.The author's greatest achievement,and certainly one of lasting value togovernment service, was his conceptof a clearing house for public administration discussed in his finalchapters. Communication between thevarious functional services of government on all levels was a serious needwhich Brownlow's Clearing House onthe University of Chicago campushelped in large measure to meet.The chapter on the author's services as chairman of President FranklinD. Roosevelt's Committee on Administrative Management and his intimate relationship with social andpolitical scientists at home and abroadare interestingly discussed. Thesechapters give us the story of a manwho achieved success for himself anda new stature for public administrators and public administrationthroughout the United States and thewestern world.Brownlow's last few chapters, especially those on the "ReorganizationAct of 1939" and "The Preparation forWar," constitute good reporting on theadministrative process when eventsmust move rapidly. They also revealthe occasional impatience which manyadministrators have for legislatorsand lawyers who sometime delay theadministrative process in the effort tokeep administration on "the righttrack."Fred K.

Pp. 168. $3.50.MS*&"^ From Bryce toBWill ClarkJUNE, 1958 Brogan visitors from Britain have beentrying to explainthe American,"this new man,"to their fellow-countrymen; notto speak cf themost acute observer of them all, theFrenchman de Tocqueville. Under anadmirably opposite title Clark presents another book on the sametheme, and a most ingratiating one.He is well qualified: an English journalist with much experience in bothcountries, beginning with his year—1938— at the University of Chicago asa Commonwealth Fellow.Yet one finishes the book with somefeeling of disappointment. It is not,contrary to one's expectations, reallyaddressed to both peoples, but only tothe British. Its two parts, the American view of Britain, and the Britishview of America, really come to thesame thing: a discussion of differences. This tells us a good deal aboutAmericans and (I shall have to sayit, not liking 'Britons' and 'Britishers') Englishmen, since each uses theother as a sort of mirror of himself.The difficulties in the way of eachfully accepting the other are excellently stated: the relation is more artificial than natural; history (GeorgeIII and all that) is against it, and theAmerican way of life can only proveits uniqueness and validity by stressing its contrast to things European,and particularly English, even while,or perhaps because, it must admit itsindebtedness to them. Differences inlanguage (the English accent seemingaffected to Americans), in the classsystems of the two countries (theEnglish seems merely snobbish toAmericans), in attitudes to imperialism are further stumbling blocks;to which Mr, Clark might have addedthree current British peeves againstAmerica: the tariff, visas, and Mr.Dulles, all of which suggest thatAmericans do not always practice forthemselves what they preach toothers.Has Mr. Clark any suggestions forimproving Anglo-American rela -tions? Only a plea for more Britishvisitors to come to the United States.23a Nass \etusOne cannot but agree with this; atthe same time I feel that Mr. Clarkunderrates the importance of thelarge increase, thanks to the Fulbright programs, in the number ofstudents and professors from eachcountry who now visit the other.There can (or is this just self -congratulation?) be no better ambassadors of good will. Nonetheless, difficulties will persist and Mr. Clarkalmost makes a virtue of them in hiswise opening pages: the two countries are rivals as much as partners,and in their relations there is a friction which is "the dynamic of theWestern world." As long as the rivalry remains friendly it will be, like theweather, a permanently useful subject of conversation but not of alarm.Charles L.
