Advertisinq aqent: The American AlumniCouncil, 22 Washinqton Souere. New York, N. Y. THE ELECTION "FRAUDS" - in theApril Issue brought two letters of protest:Dear Mr. Gore (Chairman, the AlumniFoundation): Before we make our annualgift we want to know what the Universityis going to do about stating both sides ofthe Chicago election controversy . . .The article clearly stated: "The Univer­sity of Chicago has of course no connectionwith or responsibility for this study, andno University funds were used in makingit."May I add, the University had no con­nection with or responsibility for the pub­lishing of this report in the Magazine.The Magazine is published and entirelyfinanced by the Alumni Association. Atno time in the 54-year history of theMagazine has the University attempted toinfluence the editorial policies. The Univer­sity should not be penalized for somethingover which it has no control and of whichit actually may not have approved. Giftsmade to the University through the AlumniFoundation, are deposited in full to theUniversity for its educational program.The second letter:The University of Chicago Magazine,Gentlemen: As one who lived in Chicagofor 13 years and served as a volunteer pollwatcher f01' eight of those years, I con­gratulate the metropolitan press for giving,as the article stated, "the whole country,and even foreign nations, the impressionthat the Chicago election was a 'dirty,''foul,' 'crooked,' 'thieving,' 'morass' of evildoing." This is par for Chicago elections.A simple counting of paper ballots pls:sa re-tallying of voting machine totals willnever reveal the untold thousands of(crooked) cases: .. ,Many years ago the program of install­ing voting machines began. The electionmachinery has at all times since beenunder the control of one political machinewhich has seen to it that the voting ma­chines were installed in the enemy ter­ritory ( and) . the worstmachine-ridden wards have paper ballotsand are thus free to produce the voteresults desired by the hierarchy . . .Your professors, in their zeal for themachine, are doing a disservice to thehonest, law-abiding citizens of Chicago.The Political Science Department of theUniversity needs a Patrick Henry to offsetthe loyalists. Elliot A .] ohnson, ('28, JD'31 ),Houston, Texas.The professors, disassociating them­selves from the University and their de­partment, made this study to "comparethe charges of the defeated candidates andthe stories in the newspapers with theactual facts established (italics mine) con­cerning the election.""The purpose of the authors is not todefend the Democratic Party or to attackthe Republican Party, but rather to makea sober and responsible evaluation of thecharges which have created such an ad­verse image of Chicago.""This study has not attempted to makean independent examination of the pres­ence or absence of fraud in the 1960 elec­tion ... What we have attempted to dois to examine the evidence put forward bythe Republican Party and the Chicago memo padnewspapers to support the charges whichthey made . . . Chicago's title to itsreputation as a city of good governmentand decent intention deserves protectionfrom irresponsible defamation."OUR REASON FOR PUBLISHING THEREPORT: To our 'knowledge, only "se­lected" extracts were ever published inthe press. Therefore, it was never clearto the public what the purpose of thereport was: to indicate that rash chargesheadlined and reported in the papers wereseldom substantiated.It was our conviction that before theUniversity, the political science department,or even the three professors, are to becondemned, there should first be an op­portunity to read the complete report. Andwe printed that report.PROFESSOR HERMAN FINER ADDS:I offer the briefest, and I hope, final ob­servations on our Election Report. Why willpeople not see what we have repeated 94times to press, radio and TV?My colleagues and I did not set out todiscover whether there was or was notfraud in the election of November, 1960.Our one and only intention was to demon­strate that the charges made in the fourmetropolitan newspapers of Chicago(which monopolize the news for m� millionpeople), of "wholesale fraud" were false.The data for this were in the 1000 clip­pings from these papers, and from thissource alone, covering November 8 toDecember 20. We found, beyond theshadow of any doubt that, "On the basisof this analysis, we conclude that thecharges that wholesale election fraud wasperpetrated in Chicago were baseless andunsubstantiated." Could anything beplainer than that-anything? Mr. Wexler,after mass investigation says the "irregu­larities" are "minimal."In Hamlet, the king, the rightful sov­ereign of Denmark was murdered whenpoison was poured into his ear while hewas asleep. A usurper stole his authority,Such a death can be dealt to the rightfulsovereign of our beloved United States,King Demos: poison can be poured intothe people's ear while they are asleep. Itwas my intention to tug at their sleeves andawaken my fellow-citizens.To this day, not one of the metropolitanpapers has published our report, ( onlythree columns' worth.) All of them exceptthe Sun-Times garbled it, one of them dis­gracefully.THE GERTRUDE DUDLEY SCHOLAR­SHIP COMMITTEE held its annual dinnermeeting at the Jeffrey Towers Tea RoomJune 1. Dr. Marie Ortmayer '06, MDT17,one of the dedicated founders, came inConcluded on page 20INAUGURATION PROCESSION, UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO, MAr4, 1961INAUGURATIONMay fourth was a day for the celebration of aChancellor's inauguration. In the clear bright sunlightunder newly budding trees the procession followed itsline of march to Chapel. The faculty of the University,representatives of universities and learned societies theworld over, had come to witness and participate in thishappy occasion. Brilliant hoods gleamed against blackacademic robes, here and there a crimson or a scarletrobe, one of splendid yellow. The carillon rang in theair.How firm the ties with the ancient traditions of learn­ing seem on such an occasion! These academics, walk­ing two abreast, talking easily among themselves, paus­ing now and then to greet a friend among the spec­tators, keeping pace with no one but themselves, couldwell be in procession down a cobbled street of 14thcentury Oxford, Paris or Bolognia. Yet, their garb nowbears little resemblance to its ancient origins, theirlearning is far removed from the disputations of theirscholarly predecessors. The hulking midwestern "Gothic"chapel which they enter to the organ tones of Bach isitself as derivative and as modern as this 70-year-oldUniversity.Why do they come to march in procession? Someadmit they like to have an opportunity to dress up-tosearch for safety pins to fasten unfamiliar robes; forsome it's a chance to look for a "marriage counselor"-tofill academic posts now open at their universities; butfor all it is also a time to regain a sense of our con­tinuity with the ancient past and an awareness of ourpresent world-wide community of scholars.An estimated 2,500 people crowded both sides of 59thstreet to view the procession-including many young­sters from the first six grades of the Laboratory Schoolwho were excused "to watch the parade." Led by theUniversity Marshal and his student aides, the order ofmarch was the faculty, the delegates, other Universityofficials, the honorary degree recipients, and finally, inthe blue and cardinal hood borrowed from Mr. Kimpton(who also has a PhD from Cornell), the Chancellor.Honorary degrees were awarded to seven men, threeof whom have also earned degrees at the University:Paul Abraham Freund, law, of Harvard; Donald OldingHebb, psychology, McGill; Leon Howard AM'26, Eng­lish, California; Roman J akobson, Slavic languages,Harvard and MIT; Paul A. Samuelson, '35, economics,MIT; James Dewey Watson '46, '47, biology, Harvard;Robert Burns Woodward, chemistry, Harvard.Only the last two chancellors were inaugurated withgreat public ceremony. When Robert M. Hutchinswas inaugurated in November, 1929, the day was setaside as a University holiday. The entire range of Uni­versity activities was put on public display and virtuallyall the buildings contained special exhibits and displaysJUNE, 1961 1961to which the public was invited. The inauguration ofLawrence A. Kimpton in October, 1951, followed thesame pattern. For both Mr. Hutchins and Mr. Kimpton,a period of four or five months elapsed between takingoffice and ceremonial inauguration.The events for the inauguration of George WellsBeadle began Wednesday evening, May 3, with a civicdinner at Chicago's new McCormick Place attended by1,000 guests. Speakers included Mayor Daley andWarren Weaver, mathematician and vice president ofthe Alfred P. Sloan Foundation. The following morningwas the formal inauguration. After the ceremonies, theofficial delegates to the inauguration attended a lunch­eon at the Commons. Mr. Beadle spoke at all threeoccasions. .At the luncheon Mr. Beadle recalled some of his ex­periences since he arrived in Chicago less than fourmonths ago. One evening, he says, he went in to eatat the Quadrangle Club round table. "There sat a verydistinguished gentleman-a top professor, no doubt. Isat down and he said, 'I'm Mr. X. who are you?'"'I'm George Beadle.'"'How do you spell it?'" 'B-E-A-D-L-E.'"<What are you doing here?'"'Oh, I'm trying to be the new Chancellor.'"'That's wonderful, have a drink on me.'''In the months that followed Mr. Beadle became afamiliar Rgure on campus, and, as a friendly person,he found Chicago a friendly place. "The first day Iwas here I met Abe, the paper man, Izzy, the laundry-WAYS OF DEALING WITH THETICKLISH PROBLEM OF TASSELSman, and Mitzie, the Rower girl-and was immediatelyaccepted as a fitting a proper member of the commu­nity."And as for administration of a large university: "Thismorning, Miss Olson, my able secretary inherited fromLarry Kimpton, said; 'Now, if you'll just stay homeand tend to the routine matters and let your wifemake all the speeches, you can't miss!'" -1T HE procession, led by the flags,the University Marshal and studentaides, was made up of the facultiesof the University, 300 delegates fromcolleges and universities of theUnited States, 50 from foreign coun­tries, a hundred delegates fromlearned societies, and finally, theChancellor's party which includedthe deans and administrative officersof the University, trustees, and thehonorary degree recipients with theirsponsors. .Bringing up the end ofthis long column, which at one pointstretched from Ida Noyes Hall tothe doors of Rockefeller Chapel,were Dean Blakemore of the Chapelwith Chairman of the Board Lloyd,and last, Mr. Beadle. ( Here hepauses to greet Mrs. Beadle at herplace in the first pew.)2 THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINEINAUGURAL ADDRESSSEVERAL years ago I was asked how I thought asum of several hundred million dollars might best beused to strengthen higher education in America. Myimmediate inclination was to say, "Invest it in an exist­ing first-class university." Naturally, I had in mind theone I was in at the time. But on further reflection, Igave a different answer. I suggested that there shouldbe established a completely new university that wouldavoid all the mistakes of its predecessors and thus seta standard so far above all the others that it would serveas a model which they would all aspire to copy ...If it were possible today to establish a new universityof the kind I had in mind-entirely independent of allprevious institutions and political units, and with com­plete freedom as to its purpose, its organization, itsgovernance, and its location-what would we want itto be? With a small group of friends, I have ponderedthis question for several years. The result has been aset of specifications for what we have called the Uni­versity of X. It has been a pleasant retreat for us intimes of annoyance with our colleagues, administrators,fund-granting agencies, foundations, and willful fellowhumans-a sort of academic Shangri-La.Let me tell you now, about this imaginary Universityof X and compare it with the real University of Chicago,What should one expect of the University of X? Whatshould be its goals?Speaking in very general terms, one can say that itis the purpose of a university to preserve, evaluate,understand, and transmit to future generations the bestof man's total accumulated culture-its history, religion,art, music, literature, science and technology. Additionsare, of course, constantly being made to all of these,both through rediscovery and through new discovery. Ifthe processes by which human culture evolves are tocontinue unabated, it is of the greatest importance thatnew generations understand and appreciate the waysin which these additions are made. The most effectiveway I know to do this is for the individual to participatein the process-to experience the incomparable thrillof original discovery, even if this be in a modest wayonly ...I remind you that far less than one tenth of one percent of the members of the present generation willaccount for far more than 99.9 per cent of the culturaladvance that the next generation will experience. Un­fortunately, as you all know perfectly well, our societycannot identify in advance of performance this smallbut important fraction of the population. To give twoexamples from my own special field, Darwin was notdistinguished academically, in school or in university,and Mendel failed to pass the examinations requiredof a high school teacher in his country. Although wemay hope that psychologists will eventually tell us howbetter to understand the inborn and external com­ponents that underlie exceptional creative ability, I donot expect that day to dawn soon.General education should begin early-in the home-and should continue through the school years andthrough college or university. Nor should it stop there.If we are ever to achieve a society in which maximumJUNE, 1961 opportunity and freedom are given to all responsiblecitizens according to their ability and willingness, edu­cation must be a continuing process throughout life.This becomes especially important as the tempo oftechnological and other change becomes ever greater.If, in addition to being general, an education is to beliberal in the sense of contributing to the fulfillment ofthe individual, it must provide for depth as well asbreadth. This is best achieved by encouraging specialinterests early and continuously. It is the art of greatteaching to recognize such interests and abilities-andto do something about them. They are usually thespringboard for the vocational specialization, which thetraditional American system of higher education achievesby requiring emphasis on a major subject at both thecollege and university level. The medical doctor, forexample, must first have sound training in mathematics,physics, chemistry, and biology, beyond the amountnecessary for a general education. To this he must lateradd a very detailed knowledge of human anatomy,physiology, endocrinology, histology and many otherspecialties. And so for the political scientist, the lawyer,the historian, the physicist, the writer, the archaeologist,the teacher, the industrialist and the statesman, is depthof understanding in special areas essential.How, in the University of X, should general educa­tion and specialization best be combined? Historically,many plans have been tried. The English system, forexample, assumes that a large part of general educationwill be provided by the secondary school. Therefore,the university undergraduate is encouraged to special­ize in a rather limited field from the time of entrance.In the American syste,m, general education=-usuallywith some more or less sensible balance among areas-is continued through the college and university -lJnder­graduate years, gradually blending into earnest concen­tration on a field of specialty. Yet in both systems, asin the many combinations and permutations of �niver­sity organization in other countries, the product can anddoes sometimes emerge as a truly educated man. Thereason seems quite clear to me. Factors other thanorganization are of overriding importance. WitJJ; dedi­cated, able, and enthusiastic teachers, plus int�restedstudents of high intelligence, any system is likely to besuccessful. Without these qualities in teachers and stu­dents, the results will be disappointing, in whateverway curricula may be juggled and arranged.The assembling of such a company of teachers andstudents was, therefore, the starting point as we archi­tects of the University of X began to plan our imaginaryuniversity.Our superb faculty and our outstanding student body-neither of which would ever diminish in quality, ofcourse-would accomplish the desired end result almostautomatically. There would be general educationrequirements designed to insure the best in a liberaleducation. There would be opportunity to specializeto an increasing degree in later years in the usual areas.Graduate instruction would be given strong emphasis.continued on page b3CHANCE�LOR BEADLE GLEN A. LLOYD, chairman of theBoard of Trustees of the University,formally invested Mr. Beadle withthe office of Chancellor. In inaugura­tion, he said in part, "At this latemoment in the second half of the20th century colleges and universitiesfind themselves in possession of asubstantial share of our nationalcreative talent and culture - or adisproportionate part of the objec-MRS. BEADLE4 THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINEtivity essential for wise technical andmoral decisions and finally, of a senseof urgency to give direction and mean­ing to these possessions. In these cir­cumstances, even a private universityhas become, in a sense, a public andnational resource and has the enormousneeds and responsibilities of that posi-.tion."IN INSTALLATION, he said, "Thesewere the convictions, George WellsBeadle, which led to. your selectionas the seventh head of the University ofChicago. We believe these convictionswere reliable guides and brought to usthe best possible choice, and one withwhich we are highly pleased . . . Thejoint Committee of the Faculty and Trus­tees unanimously and enthusiasticallyrecommended to the Board of Trusteesthat you be elected Chancellor of theUniversity. It is with confidence thatyou will continue to lead this Universityin its tradition of freedom and scholar­ship that the Trustees have selected youunanimously and enthusiastically as theseventh head of the University, and Ido now, by their authority, declare youChancellor of the University of Chicago."With this, Mr. Lloyd conducted theChancellor to the traditional Chancellor'sChair, from which he proceeded to thepulpit to deliver his inaugural address. •JUNE, 1961 5continued from page 3Compartmentalization would be reduced by avoidingsmall conventional departments. The greatest possibleflexibility of organization would be encouraged.If I understand correctly, that is almost exactly theUniversity of Chicago plan as put into effect by Presi­dent Harper, except that some would argue that it wastoo strongly compartmentalized. Earlier I said that theUniversity of X was envisioned as an institution which"would set a standard so far above all others that itwould serve as a model which all would aspire tocopy." That, of course, is what Harper's Universityof Chicago aid. It was a powerful catalyst, especiallyamong its sister universities.But there were difficulties that Harper did not foresee.It turned out that some of the top scholars grew moreinterested in their scholarly work than in seeing thatundergraduates received a first-class general education.By the mid-Twenties, the College had suffered fromneglect to the point that many thought it should beabolished, or separated entirely from the specializedDepartments of the University. A less drastic solutionwas finally worked out in the early 1930's. This involveda strengthening of the College within the Universi,ty­an effort begun by Max Mason but in its sum createdby Robert M. Hutchins and largely implemented byClarence Faust. They gave it a special faculty, mostlyoutside the University Divisions, whose responsibilitywas to provide the College the special attention neededto make it successful.One of the primary goals of the University of X, youremember, was "the fullest possible intellectual andemotional development of those individuals with thehighest degree of creative ability and the greatestpromise for leadership." The University of ChicagoCollege of the Thirties came very close to that Univer­sity of X ideal. It was a significant contribution toAmerican academic life. Many of its graduates are nowscholars of great distinction. I have known a numberof them, and I am tremendously impressed with theirenthusiasm for it.TBE CHANCELLOR AND THE HONORARY DEGREERECIPIENTS: WOODWARD, FREUND, WATSON, MR.BEADLE, HOWARD, SAMUELSON, HEBB, JAKOB SON.Utopia, however, is not easily attained. Several un­foreseen complications arose. The College of theThirties and Forties involved an early admissions planthat was not looked upon kindly by all, especially byhigh schools who were loath to have their top students6 taken away after two years. The College was launchedat the beginning of a major depression and in conse­quence suffered serious financial difficulties. A greatwar interrupted its normal development. And finallythe University neighborhood suffered serious deteriora·tion, which made the community a much less desirableplace in which to live than formerly, especially forstudents who entered college at age fifteen or sixteen.The present University of Chicago College plan isa modification of its predecessor, designed to incorpo­rate the best of the old, but avoid its weaknesses.Whether it succeeds fully in doing this is a question onwhich one can find strong differences of opinion. Likeits ancestor, it attempts to combine the strong pointsof an independent liberal arts college and a university.If it has not already done so, I am convinced it can.Particularly in science and mathematics, some of theforces that make ,it increasingly difficult for the con­ventional undergraduate college within a university tosucceed fully have become increasingly powerful. Thereare now more temptations than ever for top scholarsin these areas to leave undergraduate teaching. Thepressure to increase research output means less timefor teaching at this level. More and more postdoctoralfellowships for full-time research are available foryoung workers. As a result, fewer and fewer of thembegin their academic careers as teachers, even for asmall fraction of their time. Research professorshipsrequiring little or no teaching are increasingly available.Government-owned laboratories, many of them man­aged by universities under contract, offer attractivesalaries, luxurious research facilities-and no teachingduties. Industry does the same. The almost franticcompetition for the relatively small number of topscholars who remain in academic work accentuates theproblem, for, to increase the attractiveness of positions,teaching loads-especially at the undergraduate level-are reduced virtually to the vanishing point. 1 recentlyasked the dean of a major university what he had doneabout his teaching requirement when he appointed acertain young scientist whom I knew to be an excellentteacher as well as a brilliant scholar. Had he waivedthe teaching requirement? "No," he replied, "1 post­poned it."Such practices are creating increasing numbers ofscholars whom Warren Weaver has called "intellectualeunuchs"-they have no intellectual offspring. The re­sult is that more and more teaching at undergraduatelevels in these areas is delegated to graduate. studentteaching assistants. This may be a most valuable ex­perience for them, though many will never make use ofit later; often the results are excellent. But one cannotcount on it, for too often inexperience and ineptitudeconspire to produce a most unhappy result.The difficulties that arise by tempting scholars awayfrom teaching are being increasingly recognized nation­ally. Hopefully, corrective measures are in the offing.In the meantime, I believe that the University ofChicago College has come closer to a satisfactory solu­tion than has any other major university in the country.The College seeks as faculty members mature, compe­tent scholars with a high degree of skill in teaching anda real desire to spend a substantial fraction of theirTHE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINEtime doing so. Division members who wish also toparticipate in general education courses may be giventhe opportunity to do so. Although there remain prob­lems to be solved, I am convinced that the present Uni­versity of Chicago College plan belongs in the Univer­sity of X-because it provides for teaching by facultymembers who find it a rewarding experience, not anonerous duty.What were the plans for advanced and graduate workat the University of X? There were to t>e Divisions ofthe kind that now exist at the University of Chicago.They were to be staffed with top scholars, providedwith all modern facilities and financed adequately. (Allthis is easier to say than do, as the U. of C., and manyanother university, has discovered.) Here at the Univer­siy of Chicago we have attempted to attain flexibilitythrough broad Divisions and many supplementary orcomplementary schools, Institutes, Centers and Com­mittees. To a newcomer, it would seem advantageousthat this complex organization be simplified. But I donot yet know enough about it to be at all confidentof this-after all, the organization does seem to work-or to know how such simplification might best bedone if it were to prove desirable ...ACADEMIC freedom has been fought for andfought over for centuries in the universities of theworld. Basically, it is freedom of the mind-freedom tosearch for the truth wherever that search may lead.In the words of Professor I. I. Rabi of Columbia Uni­versity, it is "the right to knowledge and the free usethereof" . . . One cannot search for the truth with aclosed mind or without the right to question and doubtat every step. Any injunction to close the mind, torestrict one's beliefs arbitrarily, or to accept on authorityJUNE, 1961 without doubt, violates the very concept of freedom ofthe mind.This to me is the compelling argument against dis­claimer affidavits involving belief. Our National De­fense Education Act provides funds for student loansto be contributed to and administered by academicinstitutions. A disclaimer affidavit, in addition to anoath of loyalty, is required on the part of the studentrecipient. 1 have no objection to the oath. The dis­claimer, however, says, "1 ... do not believe in orsupport any organization that believes in or teachesthe overthrow of the United States government byforce .... " Many colleges and universities have objectedto this affidavit. So have many individuals-formerPresident Eisenhower and President Kennedy, to nametwo. So far, however, Congress has declined to modifythe act by removal of the disclaimer affidavit require­ment. The argument for this position is: "Why shouldanyone who receives government funds object to statingthat he does not believe in Communism, for example, asystem which among other things denies to the indi­vidual the freedoms we defend?" On the other side, awidely used argument against the disclaimer affidavitrequirement is that it is discriminatory in singling outstudents who receive loans. To me, this latter is anentirely secondary argument. It could be answeredsimply by extending the disclaimer requirement to allwho receive government funds directly or indirectly­a group that would include everyone of us.The really basic objection is that a disclaimer ofbelief of any kind closes the mind. It is a way of saying,"I will not think about this subject." If we are to objectto totalitarian nations suppressing freedom of thoughtand freedom of inquiry, we, ourselves must not beguilty of doing the same. One cannot be free to thinkunless, at the same time, one is prepared to accept therisk of believing. To me it is quite wrong for an aca-7demic institution, dedicated to the uninhibited searchfor the truth, to help students finance an education oncondition that they promise to close their minds aboutany subject. I submit that this is the case whateverwords may follow the initial "I do not believe in ... ""THEN SHE SAID: 'NOW IF YOU'LL JUST STAY HOMEAND TEND TO THE ROUTINE MATTERS AND LETYOUR WIFE MAKE THE SPEECHES, YOU CAN'T MISS.'"Therefore, I am proud of the University of ChicagoBoard of Trustees for taking a firm stand on principleagainst the NDEA disclaimer affidavit. This is exactlywhat the University of X Board would have done.As I have said, I have no objection to an oath touphold and obey the law of the land. I see no reasonwhy, for example, a student applying for an NDEAloan should not be required to state that he recognizesthat it is unlawful to advocate the overthrow of thegovernment by force, and that he is prepared to acceptthe consequences if he does so.How large should a university be?It shouldn't be too small, or a «critical mass" will notbe attained in the scholar-teacher-student community.On the other hand, it should not be so large that internalcommunication becomes difficult. Fragmentation anddisunity result; flexibility-so important among thespecifications for the University of X-is lost ...To a large extent size will be determined by financialresources. And there is an almost invariable tendencyto grow in size more rapidly than resources permit.Collectively, everyone agrees that this should not occur,that the size of the place ought to be kept down andthe quality up. At the same time each individual facultymember will argue eloquently that he could do so muchbetter if he had a bit more space, another. colleague,an increased budget for both research and teaching,an extra assistant or two, more secretarial help, andbetter equipment-not to mention a higher salary. Infact, if he did not feel this way, he would be cataloguedin the Dean's office as being not very enterprising . . .One thing of which I am thoroughly convincedabout the University of Chicago: its resources areclearly inadequate to support properly all its partsand all its activities. Salary budgets are too small,especially in the humanities and social sciences.8 Physical plant is inadequate in many areas. Mainte­nance appropriations have been cut to the bone andbelow for years. It is abundantly clear that somethingmust be done. Either we must increase the financialresources to the point where we can do well and prop­erly what we are now doing or we shall have to decidewhat activities we can curtail or abolish with the leastover-all harm. I hope we can increase the resourcesand so avoid the latter course . . .Although this may not seem just the right occasionon which to talk about money, I feel there are a fewthings I should say about it. The University of X wasgoing to have so much that it could live indefinitely onendowment income and capital appreciation. In thisrespect the U niversity of Chicago is far removed fromthe University of X. We must work for our support­which may not be a disadvantage in all respects, forit does keep us in touch with the «real" world.In the early days American private universitiesdepended almost entirely on private gifts. At first thesewere made largely by individuals. Later, foundationscame to playa larger and larger role. More recently,the federal government has entered the picture, largelyby providing research and training grants and contractsin various areas of science, pure and applied, and inmathematics. There are many thoughtful people whofeel that such support is undesirable. I agree that insome respects it is, but I do not agree that it need be.lt all depends on how support is made available andhow it is accepted and made use of. . .One of the difficulties is that in many cases the gov­ernment agencies in a position to supply the supporthave limited missions and therefore limited interests.It is not always easy for them to view national needsas a whole. There is no inherent reason why this my­opia cannot be corrected . . . All government agencies,committees, commissions and the like include academicpeople on their boards and advisory panels. The aca­demic community thereby has a great deal to say abouthow government support is made available. If the totalsystem is not ideal, academic institutions must sharethe blame, for they are in a position to influence whatis done.Academic institutions - their boards, faculties andadministrations-likewise have an important responsi-. bility as institutions. Too often in the past the admin­istrative attitude to an investigator has been, "If youcan find the funds from outside, anything you wantto do is all right with us." I am thoroughly convincedthat we must be more positive in our approach. Weought to say firmly what we are prepared to do andwhat we are not. If too much support in one areadistorts the academic program in an undesirable way,we must have the courage to say we will not acceptit . . . We can protect ourselves by keeping availablesufficient uncommitted funds to enable us to say noto any proposal for government-or private-supportTHE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINEJDNE, 1961 THE' CONFERRING OF HONORARY DEGREES9that threatens our independence in an unacceptableway. I strongly favor the establishment of an "inde­pendence fund" at the University of Chicago for justthis purpose. I must speak of one undesirable trendin universities that is accentuated by increased govern­ment support for research in areas of science andtechnology. That is a trend toward greater and greatersalary differentials between scientists, mathematiciansand engineers on the one hand and humanists andsocial scientists on the other. Such a trend would benipped in the bud at the University of X. But in thehere-and-now, many of us have responded to thecompetitive situation that exists by meeting marketdemands, rather than by establishing honest and equi­table salary scales based primarily on academic com­petence. Almost all major universities in this countryhave succumbed to the temptation, some reluctantlyand sadly, and some, I am afraid, without quite realiz­ing what they have been doing. I hope we can takecorrective steps at the University of Chicago. It willnot be easy ...One of the questions about the University of X thathad to be answered was, "Where should it belocated?"We, its builders, thought of a scenic setting-hills,woods, a lake; perhaps it should be near the mountains.It should, we thought, be near a fair-sized city but notin it. It should be in an area in which it would havesocial impact on' its community. It would be a resi­dential university, with good faculty and studenthousing, but it would be separated from the "outsideworld" by thousands of acres of sur-rounding land.When my wife and I were first being "looked over"for the University of Chicago, we could not help think­ing, "How different from the University of X." Perhaps,we thought, it might be possible to move 'the Univer­sity out of its crowded, smoky surroundings to theoak-covered hills to the south and west - near theArgonne Laboratory, for example. The cost would begreat, but think of the problems that would be leftbehind!What a mistake! Weare not at all sure now thateven the University of X should be isolated in thecountry. Certainly the University of Chicago wouldbe a far less interesting place and a far less significantinstitution if it were so isolated. The problems it facesin helping to rebuild a section of a great city are notonly challenging in themselves, but they are also ofthe greatest national importance. Until we Americanshave learned to rebuild and prevent slums, restorebeauty to our cities, and provide education and socialopportunities to people who have not had them­largely because of the color of their skins-we willnot have justified the faith of those who laid the foun­dations of our nation. We cannot do it by runningaway or by burying our heads in the sand , . .Our mythical university will never come to be, forreal universities will always be as imperfect as are thereal men and women who conceive and build them.Still we must never forget the power of an ideal.While our imaginations are continuously constructingnew specifications for our perfect university, let us dothe best we can with what we have right here-theUniversity of Chicago. •10 THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINENEW 5 0 F the quadranglesHONORS-Two University scientistswere elected to membership in theNational Academy of Sciences, thehighest American recognition of excel­lence in scientific scholarship thisApril.They are:--Mark G. Inghram, professor ofphysics, chairman of the Departmentof Physics, and acting director of theInstitute for the Study of Metals; and--Leo Szilard, professor of biophysicsin the University's Enrico Fermi Insti­tute for Nuclear Studies.The two were among 35 new mem­bers elected to the Academy during its98th annual meeting. Their electionbrings the University's membership inthe 625-member Academy to 27.Professor Inghram was awarded theJ. Lawrence Smith Medal by the Acad­emy in 1958 for his work in themeasurement of the ages of meteorites.Born in Livingston, Montana, in1919, Mr. Inghram received his B.A.degree at Olivet College in 1939 andhis Ph.D. in physics at the Universityof Chicago in 1947. In 1942, he joinedthe Manhattan project at ColumbiaUniversity as a physicist and remainedthere until 1945, when he received anappointment as senior physicist at theArgonne National Laboratory. He re­mained there until 1949, serving duringthe last two years as an instructor inphysics in the University of Chicago'sEnrico Fermi Institute for NuclearStudies. In 1954 he was appointedfull professor.Professor Szilard was a member ofthe original University of Chicagogroup led by the late Enrico Fermiwhich achieved mankind's first sus­tained nuclear chain reaction, Decem­ber 2, 1942. He was instrumental ingetting President Franklin D. Roose­velt to understand the military signifi­cance of atomic energy. Mr. Szilardwas born in Budapest, Hungary, in1898. He received his Ph.D. degreefrom the University of Berlin. In 1934,he began work in the field of nuclearphysics in London and later continuedhis research at the University of Ox­ford.He settled in the United States in1938 and became a citizen. UntilNovember 1940, he worked at Colum- bia University. During the next twoyears, he worked with Fermi and otherscientists to achieve the successfulchain reaction in an atomic pile thatwas constructed under the now-demol­ished west stands of Stagg Field. Hewas a key member in the project whichdeveloped the atomic bomb. In thefall of 1946, Mr. Szilard joined- thefaculty of the University of Chicago.He is the author of the current collec­tion of short stories The Voice of theDolphins.--The highest honor of the Peruviangovernment has been awarded to Dr.Charles Huggins, Director of the BenMay Laboratory for Cancer Researchat the University.Presentation of the Order of the Sun,Class Grand Officer, ("Orden del Sol")was made by President Manuel Pardoat the presidential palace in Lima re­cently. Dr. Huggins was called to thepresidential palace with no advance in­dication that he was to receive this goldmedal.The citation is the Peruvian equiva­lent of such awards as the FrenchLegion of Honor.Dr. Huggins is internationally re­nowned for his study of the relationshipof sex hormones to cancer growth. Hewas the first scientist to demonstratethat treatment of prostatic cancer withfemale sex hormones or removal of themale sex glands could alleviate thiscondition. Dr. Huggins also perfecteda technique for the total removal ofthe adrenal glands for remission of ad­vanced cancers of the prostate andbreast.Among the many honors which hehas received are the Charles L. MayerAward of the National Academy ofSciences, the Gold Medal of the Con­gress of the Societe InternationaleD'Urologie, the annual award of theAmerican Cancer Society, the Crook­shank Award of the University of Lon­don, the German order of 'Pour leMerite', and the Borden Award of theAssociation of American Medical Col­leges.--Warren C. Johnson, vice-presidentin charge of special scientific programsand professor in the Department ofChemistry, received the U.S. AtomicJUNE, 1961 Energy Commission Citation in Wash­ington this April. Mr. Johnson retiredlast year as chairman of the GeneralAdvisory Committee to the AEC.The citation was established in Sep­tember, 1960, to honor persons not inthe employ of the Commission. The firstrecipient was the late Mr. Casper W.Ooms, prominent Chicago patent attor­ney. Mr. Johnson is the second personto be honored with this citation.His citation reads:"F or his services as Chairman of theBoard of Senior Reviewers from 1949to 1956 and in recognition by theUnited States Atomic Energy Com­mission of his outstanding participa­tion in, and meritorious contributionto, the mission of the Commission in hiscapacity as Chairman of the GeneralAdvisory Committee to the AtomicEnergy Commission from October 29,1956, to July 31, 1960, during whichperiod his distinguished leadership en­hanced the Committee's contributionsto the atomic energy program."Mr. Johnson has had an important rolein the nation's atomic energy programsfor many years, beginning in the Metal­lurgical Laboratory at the Universityof Chicago early in World War II.From 1943 to 1946 he assisted in thedevelopment of the atom bomb asDirector, Chemistry Division, ClintonLaboratories, Oak Ridge, Tennessee.A member of the University facultysince 1927, he joined the staff as aninstructor in chemistry. He was ap­pointed assistant professor in 1928,associate professor in 1932, and hasbeen a professor since 1943.He served successively as Chairmanof the University's Department ofChemistry, Associate Dean and Deanof the Division of Physical Sciences,and Scientific Advisor to the Univer­sity on projects at the Argonne Na­tional Laboratory, Argonne, Illinoiswhich the University of Chicago op­erates under contract for the Commis­sion. In 1958 he was appointed VicePresident of the University in chargeof Special Scientific Programs.GROUND BREAKING-Chancellor11Beadle and Emory W. Morris, presidentof the W. K.

S. Air Force. Despite this extensiveresearch program the scientists pointedout that no quick pill to protect man­kind from radiation effects of atomicor nuclear bombs is yet in sight.The project was carried on by Dr.John Doull, assistant director of theLaboratory, and Dr. B. J. Ticou, aresearch associate.Serotonin is a biological substancefound in the brain and the intestines.It was given to albino mice prior tolethal doses of x-rays. With serotoninadministered in advance, half of themice were able to withstand dosagesof up to 880 roentgens. Without thedrug's protection, the same survivalrate was possible only up to 542roentgen exposure. One of the effectsof 5HT is that it reduces body tempera­ture. The University scientists wereunable to find any correlation betweenthis temperature drop and the drug'sradiation protection. They then testedthe premise that protection was securedthrough oxygen deprivation.This was their reasoning:1) 5HT acts on muscle cells in. blood vessel walls.2) This causes blood vessel walls toconstrict.3) The narrower blood vessels sup­ply less blood and, therefore, lessoxygen to blood-forming organsand tissues.4) These organs are then less sus-12 ceptible to damage from "freeradicals" - the active moleculesproduced by the radiation.To test this theory of oxygen dep­rivation, they placed the mice in boxescontaining 25 times as much oxygenas they would normally receive. Thenthey gave them 5HT and lethal radia­tion. They assumed that if 5HT actual­ly protects by reducing oxygen, micein an oxygen-saturated atmospherewould not fare well.Assumptions were correct as evi­denced by a 60 per cent reduction inradiation protection of the oxygen­saturated mice.Next step was systematically to seekout the body tissues where 5HT mostmarkedly reduced oxygen supply. Mostimportant changes were found in thespleen, where tissue oxygen levelsdropped 80 per cent within 5 minutesafter the drug was administered.In assessing the potential value ofany anti-radiation drug, scientists use astandard called "dose radiation factor."It is a measure of the percentage bywhich radiation dosage can be increasedwith the drug's assistance. This ismeasured against the same 50 per centfatality rate in a 30-day period. Bythis standard, here is how serotonincompares with a number of other hope­ful experimental drugs:Dose RadiationDrug FactorAET (aminoethylisothiourea) 1.8MEA (mercaptoethylamirie) 1.75HT (serotonin) 1.6P APP (p-amino-propiophenone) 1.55HT will undergo further screeningtests with larger laboratory animals,Dr. Doull said.In discussing his entire field of re­search, Dr. Doull, who is associate pro­fessor of pharmacology, recently wrote:"Although the 50 per cent reductioneffect which can be achieved with theavailable radiation antidotes makesthem valuable research tools in radio­biology, they are not very efficientwhen compared with other antidotesto toxic agents. Finally, we need todiscover chemical antidotes which areeffective when giv�n after radiationexposure .... It is to be hoped thatour increased understanding will per­mit the discovery of more effective andless toxic chemical antidotes for radia­tion injury."TRIAL-University of Chicago law stu­dents attended this April the opening of a personal injury suit trial in an un­usual setting-a courtroom in their ownlaw school.Judge Jacob M. Braude, JD'20, movedthe jury trial from the County Buildingto the Weymouth Kirkland Courtroomof the school to give 200 students first­hand experience in procedure.The cast was complete and authentic.There were several panels of jurorsfrom which lawyers selected the twelvejurors who will hear the suit, in which$25,000 damages are sought as the re­sult of an auto accident.The judge was seated on the benchin his black robe. He was flanked byhis clerk and personal bailiff, just as hewould be in his regular courtroom.The acoustics in the auditorium madeit easy for the students to hear ever"word spoken, including the often-whis­pered responses of prospective jurorsto questions.This was the first time a jury casehas been tried on campus. On threeoccasions, however, the Illinois SupremeCourt and Illinois Appellate Court haveheld sessions here.The judge compared the session withmedical school practices that allow stu­dents to observe the treatment of pa­tients. Law schools provide mock trialsfor students but the realism of anactual trial cannot be duplicated, hesaid.THAT GOOD, GOOD CHEESE­Microbiologists at the Food ResearchInstitute of the University have iso­lated an antibiotic substance in Lim­burger cheese.Dr. G. M. Dack, director of the In­stitute, announced the findings at aChicago meeting of the Society ofAmerican Bacteriologists held this April.The "Limburger antibiotic" may havepotential uses in preventing spoilagein other foods, such as pickling brines,dairy or bakery products, Dr. Dacksaid. At least eleven other kinds ofcheeses were found to have similarcharacteristics. Further research mayhave applications in preventing foodpoisoning, according to Dr. Dack, whois an authority on that subject.Dr. Dack reported on the researchcarried out under his supervision byNicholas Grecz of the Illinois Instituteof Technology as part of his graduatework at the University of Chicago.L. R. Hedrick, chairman of the biologydepartment of the Illinois Institute ofTechnology, also participated in thestudy at the Food Research Institute ofthe University of Chicago.In the 1880's there were numerousTHE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINEDAMfood poisoning outbreaks attributableto a Cheddar type cheese. However,these were never caused by Limburgertype cheeses. Also, aged Limburgercheese does not become moldy. Themystery had never been explained.Mr. Grecz, working with Dr. Dack andMr. Hedrick, set out to determine whatit was in Limburger cheese that pro­tected it from food poisoning bacteriaand from mold. Mr. Grecz traced thesource of the antibiotic substance tocolonies of a microscopic bacteriumcalled Breoibacterium linens. The germbecomes predominant on the surface ofthe cheese at the late stages of the cur­ing process.He was able to extract it from Lim­burger cheese that aged under refrig­eration for eight weeks or longer. Itis believed that this substance also isresponsible for the production of thebrown surface smear on the cheese.Ten milligrams of the Brevibacteriumlinens is enough to prevent the growthof microorganisms which ordinarilycause food spoilage and food poisoning,as well as of some disease producinggerms. This small amount cannot bedetected by taste, Dack said.The ingredient is also found in suchcheeses as Brie, Liederkranz, Romadour,Tilsiter, Port du Salut, Muenster, beer,brick, Trappist, hard and St. Mang.APPOINTMENTS- The following ma­jor faculty appointments were an­nounced recently.Denis V.

Themeeting was sponsored jointly by theUniversity of Chicago's Committee onMathematical Biology through a grantfrom the National Science Foundationand the New York Academy of Sciences.The symposium chairman was Nich­olas Rashevsky of the University. Heand Professor Herbert D. Landahl, alsoof the Committee on Mathematical Biol­ogy, presented two of the twelve papersat the meeting.Mr. Rashevsky said mathematicalbiology is doing the same thing forexperimental biology as the theoreticalphysicist does for experimentalphysics.«The theoretical physicist has alwaysused mathematics to discover 'hidden'mechanisms behind the facts he ob­serves, to find the 'why' of relationsin the physical world, and to predictthings he didn't know before.«Why not the biologist?"Until a few decades ago biologywas purely an experimental science.The limits of biology and medicinewere literally what a scientist couldfind out by observation and experi­ment."Mathematics entered into biology,but only in the form of statistics neededto evaluate the results of experiments."A mathematical biology, similar inaims and methods to mathematicalphysics, which tries to penetrate thedeeper secrets of life, has only begunto develop on a larger scale in the last35 years."The American, Alfred Lotka, andsomewhat later the Italian Vito Vol­terra, applied mathematical reasoningto study the struggle for existenceamong animals."The first center in the world for re­search in mathematical biology wasstarted in 1934 at the University ofChicago when Mr. Rashevsky set up aprogram to provide the necessary dualtraining in both the biological andphysico-mathematical sciences.Today more than 100 scientists,scattered all over the world, are work­ing in this field.14 In one of the papers presented atthe conference, George Sacher, Jr., '43,and Ernesto Trucco, SM'51, PhD'54,presented a new mathematical theoryof death. This is it:That equation represents their at­tempt to explain the well-known ex­pression for the rate of death ofmembers of a population at any givenage. This is it:According to the New York Timessummary of the scientists' report,"What the longer equation says is thatthe death rate of persons or animals ofa standard age in a population-thelittle rho sub-zero-is determined notonly by hereditary and environmentalfactors, as older theories of mortalityhave held, but also by the effects ofchance on the physiological state of theindividual members of the population."SATURDAY LECTURES-This April,Professor John A. Wilson, director ofthe Oriental Institute and the onlyAmerican member of the internationaladvisory committee on the Egyptianmonuments, suggested that high schoolstudents join in backing PresidentKennedy's plan to set apart counter­part foreign aid funds to save theancient temples of Egypt from therising waters of the Nile River behindthe Aswan Dam.Mr. Wilson spoke in Mandel Hall toan audience of more than 1,000 in­vited high school students and teachersfrom Illinois, Indiana, Wisconsin andMichigan, attending the first in a newlyinstituted series of talks entitled, "Satur­day Lecture," sponsored by the College.The lectures are presented in an effortto bring high school students and theirteachers closer to the developments onthe frontiers of science and scholarship.Speakers for the following three Satur­days were Professor John A. Simpsonon "Scientific Discoveries in Space,"Chancellor George Wells Beadle on"Genes and People," and ProfessorHans J. Morgenthau on "AmericanDemocracy and Nuclear Power."Speaking at the first lecture on"Rescue on the Nile: Archeology inthe Near East," Mr. Wilson urged hisyouthful audience to write their sena- tors and congressmen to urge speedypassage of the bill allocating counter­part funds for this project.He said, "Seven grade-school chil­dren sent in 65 cents, which they raisedby a hobby show, to help save themonuments. A church school collectedbottles and newspapers and sent in sixdollars. A high school class down inFlorida came through magnificentlywith $38.11."Archeologists from all over the worldare cooperating in this monumentaleffort, he said.Mr. Wilson told the students, "A wisephilosopher said: They who do notremember the past are condemned torepeat the past. That's a frighteningidea, being condemned to repeat thepast. We do need to know and remem­ber what man has done and what manhas not done in the past and be influ­enced and guided by it. Archeologysupplies us with a long background andsupplies us with the beginnings, sothat we may remember."Mr. Wilson, who also is Andrew Mac­Leish Distinguished Service Professor atthe University, told the students thatthe University of Chicago's OrientalInstitute was "the leading Americanarcheological institution, and can beparalleled elsewhere only by such gov­ernment-supported institutions as theBritish Museum and the Louvre."BUG-"Then, there's the UC man whowent to Northwestern and raised theIQ of both schools." The above is oneof the observations of the new studentpublication, «The Bug," which, accord­ing to its editors (most of whom preferto remain anonymous) is "just whatthis campus needs."Its title refers to the phenomena ofstinging and bugging, and supposedlythe new chancellor "had something todo with it" (that last comment is a slyreference to Chancellor Beadle's name) .Faculty advisor to this enterprise isJohn W. Willoughby of the CollegeEnglish staff, who, the editors suspect,is the son of a missionary. They don'tknow whether he is yet familiar withtheir editorial policy; however, they arewilling to go on record with, "If it'sfunny, we'll print it."Another example: "The fad at someschools is stuffing hoards of people intophone booths. We have a game likethis at UC; it is called residence re­quirement."If you want to be bugged by the 50or so students who put this creatureout, send a dollar to them at Ida Noyeshall. You will receive ten issues. Youmight even be stung.THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINEFoTAFestival of the Arts: featuring art and photography exhibits, musicalevents, dance, lectures, drama, and as a finale the Beaux Arts ball.This year's seventh annual Festival, perhaps because of its smaller operatingbudget, drew more than many past Festivals upon the resources ofChicago. Among the exhibits were two shown here in Lexington Hall: TheMidway Gardens, 1914-1929, an exhibition of the building by FrankLloyd Wright, with sculpture by Alfonso Iannelli; and student art.JUNE, 1961 15In the women's new residence hall, theChicago Chapter of the Artists EquityAssociation hung an exhibit. Here"M W" f h .oroccan omen rom t etr canvaswatch a student watching them.The Artists Equity exhibit also includedsculpture (opposite page). Here,a painting by faculty member, HaroldHaydon, titled "Variety."The lounge of the men's new residencehall featured the Annual WaterColor and Small Sculpture Exhibitionof the Chicago Society of Artists.With the strip of high windows runningthe length of the north wall, andthe glass south wall, the lounge offeredexcellent lighting for an exhibit.THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINE"It began modestly, even inauspiciously. A small groupsat around a conference table last fall and talked of a weekendwhere the originality of our students could bedemonstrated. Art and music were to be the focus of theFestival." In this manner, the late Robert M. Strozier, then deanof students, described the first Festival of the Arts in 1955. In theFestivals that have followed, programs have varied. Some haveindulged in the more antic arts, some have featured sports carsand athletics, some have imported lecturers and performers in largenumbers, some have relied more extensively on faculty andadministration in programming and participation, some have stronglyreflected student interests and activities. Always there hasbeen displayed the wide range of the arts, and the involvement ofthis campus in the arts. Opening at noon on April 21, this year, to thetraditional trumpet fanfare (music by faculty member HowardBrofsky) in Hutchinson Court, the Festival closed on May 3, witha concert by the Lennox String Quartet and Leon Kirchnerof music by Mr. Kirchner in Mandel Holl. Other features of theFestival were: actress and director M argaret Webster reading aShakespearean anthology, one of the most praised Blackfriars shows inyears, the International House Festival of the Nations featuringsongs and dances from many lands, a concert 0114t�� 15thand 16th Century music by the Collegium Musicum, a Hootenanny,lectures by artist-in-residence James Joseph McCarrell, a professionalmodern dance program, University Theatre presenting Laurent's"Home of the Brave," a program by the Chicago Piano Quartet,and the Laboratory School performance of Smetno' s opera,"The Bartered Bride." Poetry was read,fiction won prizes, and the pennants waved in the breeze.JUNE, 1961 17The Beaux Arts Ball took place inthe Law School lobby midst forgeriesof masterpieces and a student photographyexhibit. The masqueraders, garbedas famous paintings, could sit for theirportraits - or pose for them asthis couple did withPicasso's "Girl Before a Mirror."18 THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINE} tematizes the informationjnow availableon the occurrence and distribution of theelements in cosmic objects-the nebulae,stars, cosmic rays, planets, meteorites, thesun, and the earth's crust.
