Few settings could bemore appropriate for médiéval liturgicaldrama than the canyon-like backdrop ofRockefeller Chapel's towering Gothicarches. Centuries seemed to vanish aslights dimmed and the performers begantheir entrance, slowly marching down theaisles from the back of the chapel accom-panied by music from recorder, vielleand bagpipe. A blending of carefullystaged lighting and spécial scenery con-verted the chancel into a setting for therichly and colorfully costumed performers.In music, song and pantomime thedrama unfolds . . . the Nativity scène,the story of the shepherds, the gift-bearing Magi. The ail consuming, fieryjealousy and fear of Herod the Kingculminâtes in the slaying of the InnocentChildren, in the hope that among themwould be the Christ Child. In the endHerod dies and his son Archelaus rules.The children rise and the Holy Familyreturns from Egypt whence it had fled.To the chant of the Te Deum the actorstake their exit, the lights dim and onlythe angel, on raised platform, arms out-stretched, is silhouetted by the remainingglow, which slowly fades into the dark-ness around.Probably performed for the first timein the twelfth century at the great abbeychurch of Fleury, now known as St.Benoit - sur - Loire, THE PLAY OFHEROD is made up of two plays, Adrepresentandum Herodem (The Représentation of Herod) and Ad interfec-tionem Puerorum (The Slaying of theChildren). Herod is central to boththèmes. The original manuscript, knownas the Fleury Playbook, is at the Bibliothèque Municipale, Orléans, France.Following the successful performanceof THE PLAY OF DANIEL some yearsago, The New York Pro Musica underthe direction of Noah Greenberg andaided by a grant from the Ford Foundation, took on the task of bringing THEPLAY OF HEROD to modem day audiences.o THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINE JANUARY, 1964The play came to Rockefeller Chapeldirectly from its world première at TheCloisters of the Metropolitan Muséumof Art, New York. It was brought to Chicago through the sponsorship of theVisiting Committee on the Humanitiesof The University, under the chairman-ship of Earle Ludgin.JANUARY, 1964 THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINEDoes the very finest ahvays cost more?Ninety-nine times out of a hundred, you do pay more forthe finest thing in its field.But there's one big exception.

In the University ofChicago Press Catalogue of Books andJournals, 1891-1941, a short history isgiven; it states that the Press was estab-lished as an effective unit on July 1,1892, but the arrangements were com-plex — D. C. Heath and Company, ofBoston, had offered a plan of coopération with the University, by whichtheir equipment in Chicago would beused but a separate corporation, knownas the University of Chicago Press, wasset up. Heath was the first Director ofthe new Press, but gave it up after ayear, and suggested that the Universitybuy the equipment and place it oncampus. That was done, the equipmentgoing into the building mentionedabove. But the Director's and businessoffices were in Cobb. How much morewas there? Editor's offices, Mr. Storr,the Historian of the University thinks ;perhaps a good deal more. If there isother information available I should bevery glad to receive it, as would Mr.Storr.Perrin H. Lowrey, AJVL'48, Ph.D.'56Assoc. Prof. HumanitiesMORE ON COBBTo the Editor:In the November 1963 issue of theMagazine I read with interest the article— "Cobb, the Old; the New." To agraduate of 1903, in the olden, goldendays of the young University, whospent many hours in the grand oldbuilding, there was one lack in thishistory of Cobb Hall.In the early years the InformationOffice and Faculty Exchange occupieda prominent place just opposite themain entrance of Cobb Hall and wasone of the busiest and liveliest spots onthe campus. The office was a uniquecombination of student and facultyactivities. Where else could the green-est Freshman rub elbows with the greatones of Dr. Harper's first faculty asthey came there to get their mail, withmen like Laughlin, Shorey, Loeb, Veb-len, Small, Michelson, Chamberlin,Goodspeed, Judson, Stagg, and others— names that ring the bell of recollection.This large, alcove-like room had theFaculty Exchange on the left wheremost of the faculty rented mail boxes;on the right was the private office ofthe manager; across the end and infront of the Ellis Ave. Windows wasthe information counter presided overby the student assistants. The passingout of information of ail kinds wasonly a small part of the f unction of theoffice. We operated agencies for four express companies and a baggage trans-fer service; had a théâtre ticket agencyand sold tickets for student activities;supervised the student service, furnish-ing messengers as needed for the sever-al offices; and kept a list of rooms torent and boarding houses in the neigh-borhood for students.At the beginning of each quarterand particularly the summer quarter,new students who had made no previ-ous arrangements poured in looking forplaces to live and to know what to do;boys and girls from the small towns ofthe midwest and prairie states who hadnever been in the big city. In the summer quarter it was a horde of teachers,many from Texas, corne to earn extracrédits.The questions that came over thecounter were wide and varied yet re-quiring prompt answers, but none quiteas startling as the one on a summerday when the counter was crowded.A man called out innocently over theheads of those in front — "where isthere a sporting house in the vicinity?"The red faced manager who happenedto be at the counter handled that oneand found that the man wanted only toknow where to buy a pair of tennisshoes.It is interesting to note that the mindthat envisioned the plan of a greatUniversity for décades into the futurecould also prépare, in person and indétail, a complète set of instructionsfor the conduct of this minor officeincluding duties, hours of work andrates of pày (student . messengers toget 20 ^ an hour). This we had fromPrésident Harper.This office gave part time work formany students who, like myself, wereworking their way through school. Themanager, when I became assistant atthe counter, was M. H. McLean. Isucceeded him when he was given thefull time job of Superintendent ofBuildings and Grounds. On my graduation the duties of manager fell firston Clark Jennison and then on JohnF. Moulds, '07 who had been assistants in the office. John, later, becamea full-time employée of the University in various business offices and for18 years, until retirement, was Secre-tary to the Board of Trustées.We give our blessing to remodelingof the interior of Cobb Hall since theold pride of the campus will look thesame on the outside.Hayward D.

Phillip Miller, '34, on behalf of the Harriet Pullman SchermerhornTrust. Mrs. Miller is the wife of Dr. C. Phillip Miller, M.D. (Rush) '18, Professor EmeritusDepartment of Medicine whose spécial interest in the library project stems from hislong service on the Faculty Library Board. A nièce of the late Mrs. Schermerhorn,Mrs. Miller is the daughter of the late Illinois Governor Frank O. Lowden, and agranddaughter of the late George M. Pullman.In designing the new library, provisions are being made to eventually include computerand electronic data processing equipment, in the cataloging and retrieval ofinformation contained in the millions of books, journals and manuscripts at TheUniversity. Président Beadle foresees a growth from the présent two and a quartermillion books to a capacity of five million books within the next twenty-flve years.The Central Library plans, which are the culmination of recommendations first madefour décades ago, also include extensive use of departmental libraries serving variousspecialties and, of course, Harper Mémorial Library.

Thèse hâve corne, wethink, to dominate the image whichmany Chicago alumni hâve of theiraima mater.Perhaps The University's owncandor about its problems has hadthe perverse effect of giving themundue weight. Whatever the reason,there is a mood which seems tocharacterize the way alumnus viewsaima mater.The mood is elusive. It is notmerely positive or négative. It con-tains éléments of pride and doubt,admiration and dissent, convictionand uncertainty; but none of thèsedescribes it well.Ail too many alumni seem tothink of The University as theywould a patient in a terminal illness— admired for its valor, but doomed.There is a feeling that Chicago'sdestiny is to live bravely in a sea ofadversity.Nuts!The University has assuredly hadproblems— ones big enough to hâveknocked over many a lesser entity.But there has never been a daywhen hand-wringing was good f ormon the Midway. Faced with greatdifBculties, this University has in-variably looked them in the eyeand taken their measure— recogniz-ing often that solutions would takeyears of hard, frustrating workwhen no results would show.It has done so. Results are athand, hère, now, factually demon-strable. It may take another décadefor this to seep through to the gênerai public, but you as an alumnusought now to set about clearingaway the cobwebs of outdated images. Quadr anglesWe think The University at thismoment is early in its next era—one of rare promise, best comparedwith the heady first décade underHarper when Chicago burst into be-ing with incredible energy and ac-complishment.We do not mean, of course, thateverything is suddenly cheery. Justas the great problems of the pastwere long in the brewing, so tooare their solutions graduai and progressive. Some issues are more com-pletely resolved than others, andmany a superficial setback willdoubtless be surf ered still. The pointis that a setback will only be a setback. An event which would, tenyears ago, hâve represented theprolongation of a chronic problemwill now be a temporary interruption.The proof of this apparent opti-mism lies in what is now happeningin the single most important aspectof The University— its faculty. Arebirth is occurring. This is of signal importance in itself, but it isnot an isolated event. For the rapidsuccess of the faculty developmentnow under way symbolizes the win-ning of a long war against otheraccumulated problems which hadto be overcome first— notably theneighborhood dilemma.When Président Beadle took office in the spring of 1961, he wasarmed with the knowledge gainedfrom long, friendly conversationswith both of his most récent prede-cessors, Chancellors Hutchins andKimpton. Mr. Beadle moved in theway we now recognize as charac-teristic: quietly, and right smack atthe heart of the problem. He toldthe Trustées that his predecessorshad accomplished the preconditionsfor what must be done and that twothings were now needed: moneyand the right man to do a vital job.THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINE JANUARY, 1964The Trustées responded vigor-ously and generously. They person-ally pledged a fund of $3,500,000for faculty improvement. Mr. Beadle chose Edward Levi— whoseability to wage an aggressive cam-paign of redevelopment had beenproven in ten years as Law dean—and created a post consonant withthe task. Mr. Levi was made Pro-vost, the second-ranking officer ofThe University.The problem they faced was nota faculty which was bad, médiocre,filled with "deadwood," nor aptlydescribed by any of the other stockphrases which spring to mind. Tothe contrary, Chicago's faculty hasalways been remarkable by moststandards. The standard which wasnot being met fully was Chicago'sown.Almost any department of TheUniversity has had at least oneperiod of unexampled brilliance inits history— a time when the air inthat department was electric. Thegreat achievements associated withThe University seem often to hâvesprung from such times. Occasion-ally one exceptional man apparent-ly evokes such an era, but usuallythere must be several whose talentscorne to f ocus on some issue of com-mon concern, although in retrospectthe widely known results of theperiod may be identified in the public mind with only one or two ofthem.(To take an obvious example, history will tend to associate the birthof the nuclear âge at Chicago pri-marily with the late Enrico Fermi.Fermi's brilliance was of such anorder that the first Chicago reactormight not hâve been built withouthim. But a discovery of such magnitude results as much from the inter-play of able minds as it does fromthe genius of the one who first complètes the needed conceptions.)BOYD & G0ULDSINCE 1888HYDE PARK AWNING CO. INC.SINCE 1896NOW UNDER ONE MANAGEMENTAwnings and Canopies for AU PurposesS 305 South Western Phone: 239-1511 There was this kind of créativeinterplay in the Departments ofPhysics and Chemistry for severalyears preceding the accomplish-ment of December 1942. It was an"electric" time in which thèse departments had a brilliance far great-er than the sum of their humanparts.Mr. Beadle early concluded thattoo few of the departments of TheUniversity now displayed this kindof brilliance. Excellence there wasaplenty, but the subjective "mix"which seems to distinguish the exceptional department from thestrong department was relativelyrare— judged, again, by Chicago'sown standards.He did not hâve to seek far forcauses. The most apparent was along history of graduai attrition.The number of men who had corneand gone over thèse years is aminor matter; what had countedwas the particular men who hadleft.(The numerical strength of thefaculty has, in fact, relatively littleeffect on the scholarly production ofThe University. The same is true ofany university heavily oriented to-ward research, as Chicago has beenfrom the start. Having the rightmen is what counts.)Dominating the apparent reas-ons for the history of attrition was,without question, the neighborhoodsituation. The story is well known:immediately after World War II therapid détérioration of The Univer-sity's surrounding neighborhoodgrew to crisis proportions. Not onlythe comfort, but the personal safetyof students and faculty families became major issues. In 1952 TheUniversity began, against long odds—for every other educational institution similarly plagued before ithad either relocated or closed down—a frontal attack on the causes ofneighborhood blight in Hyde Park-Kenwood.An oddity about a great effortlike the neighborhood struggle isthat it is a little hard to tell whenyou hâve won. Neither the surfaceappearance nor any one statisticcan tell you. Ultimately the question was not physical restoration,but whether a viable communitywould émerge. It has. Although physical changewill continue for many years and itis hard to imagine the communitybeing static in anything, the turn-ing point came between 1958 and1960. At some time in this periodthe renewed neighborhood "jelled;"the earlier mood of "can it possiblysucceed?" was replaced by ' Ve'relicking it."Objective indices support thesubjective mood. Against a gêneraisoftening of real estate values inthe Chicago area in the past threeyears, Hyde Park-Kenwood valueshâve steadily increased. (It is theonly established neighborhood inthe metropolitan area to hâve runagainst the trend.) The rate ofcrime against the person hasdropped sharply; this is again acommunity without fear. Housingdemand exceeds supply.The community's success is nowso évident that the degree of itssuccess has lately become a matterfor semi-learned debate in severalnational publications.In picking Edward Levi for thefaculty renewal job, the Présidentturned again to a f amily with a rarerecord of both scholarly and prac-tical service to The University. As iswell known, the neighborhood renewal effort was directed by JulianLevi, the Provost's brother, nowProf essor of Urban Studies. Them-selves alumni from the Lab Schoolsthrough the Law School, the broth-ers are grandsons of the late RabbiEmil G. Hirsch, a civic leader whohelped raise the city's $400,000 re-sponse to the 1890 Rockefeller grantof $600,000 on which The University was established, and who thenbecame Professor of Oriental Lan-guages and Literature in the original faculty.Although Julian and EdwardLevi share some strong character-istics— both are quick, resourcefulmen who cannot rest with a jobpartly done— neither has ever hadthe slightest need for the other'scoattails.The line of attack on which theProvost is proceeding is easily in-ferred from the nature of facultyappointments made during his firstJANUARY, 1964 THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINE 1114 months in office. In a first step,nine eminent men already on thefaculty were advanced to newchairs which are, for the most part,endowed. Five of thèse, Dis-tinguished Service Professorshipswhich are also named chairs, wereprovided by a portion of the be-quest of the late Harold H. Swift,'07.A new category, the Universityprofessorship, was then createdwith the announced intent of fill-ing such chairs with scholars of thehighest réputation. Ten such professorships hâve been created,using a major part of the $3,500,000war chest. Appointed thus far areLéonard Krieger, a European his-torian who cornes from Yale, andFrancis A. Allen, who returns to theMidway from the University ofMichigan Law School on a University chair in criminal law.Thèse appointments reflect theProvost's aim of building at theuppermost level, seeking to supplythose relatively few exceptionalmen who may be able to make criti-cal différences in the departmentsthey join.Other sources than the spécialtrustée fund are being used in thesame way. The appointment of PaulTillich as John Nuveen Professer inthe Divinity School is a récent casein point. Trustée Nuveen, '18, endowed this chair in memory of hisfather.A further, if less expected, lineof emphasis is to bring relativelyyôung men of unusual standing tothe faculty. A number of new appointées are men in their thirties orearly f orties who hâve won nationalprominence in their fîelds with re-markable speed.Apparently Mr. Levi is followingout the implications of the patternof youth which has been évident ina number of research fîelds in récent years. Many major theoreticaladvances, particularly in the so-called hard sciences, hâve beenmade by men in their late twentiesor early thirties. (The University 'sown most récent Nobel-prize-win-ning alumnus, James Dewey Wat-son, '47, is an example.)Young men of this calibre arebeing wooed — hard — from institutions which want to keep them. They are entering The Universityat relatively high rank, most ofthem either as associate or full pro-fessors, and their recruitment istaking most of the remainder of thetrustées' $3,500,000 fund.Some of the new people alsorepresent new or radically redefinedschools of thought within theirfîelds. Our favorite example is DonR. Swanson, appointed Dean of theGraduate Library School last year.Mr. Swanson, 39, was trained as amathematical physicist. The apparent disparity between his back-ground and his job at Chicago isno accident. He is highly expert indata processing and is expected tofoster research and training in GLSwhich is aimed squarely at the li-brarian's true function— data re-trieval.The faculty renewal now beingengineered is squarely within theoldest Chicago tradition. The lineof attack chosen by Mr. Beadle andMr. Levi resembles nothing so muchas the modus operandi of WilliamRainey Harper, who cared aboutlittle else as long as he had the bestavailable men on the faculty of TheUniversity of Chicago.Most alumni will, we think, ap-plaud this thinking and appreciate,without being preached at, thepractical requirements of carryingthrough the effort which is alreadyso well begun. There is, of course,a fiscal conséquence— the same onePrésident Harper solved by fréquent recourse to John D. Rocke-feller, Sr. A great expansion madeon non-repeating gift moneys willhâve to be sustained in every futureyear.But we think, too, that few alumni will mind the fact that they arelikely to be the first from whomadded support is sought. There isa great différence between appealsconducted under the cloud of pon-derous problems and those whichseek help for a thriving university.As it becomes more and moreobvious that The University has in-deed broken out of its cloudbank,we think alumni will shake off theold mood with the purest pleasure.We urge you to watch the growingévidence and understand it for whatit is. -H.R.H.

He might hâve pointed to this index or that. He would almostcertainly hâve qualified his answer extensively — pointed out that the resuit to the investordépends on his tax bracket, the other investment choices he might hâve made, the timing ofhis purchases and sales, his choice of particular stocks, and dozens of other factors. Hewould doubtless hâve spoken of the risk élément inhérent in any investment and the factthat ail forms of return — dividends, capital growth, splits, rights — must be considered inassessing common stocks.But after ail this qualifying, he would hâve had to admit that no truly factual answer to yourquestion existed. No one had ever tallied the actual values, dividends, etc., of Americanstocks over a long enough period to answer, objectively, the question: "What has been theexpérience of the average investor over the long haul in common stocks? Has he made or lostmoney on his investments?"Now, a detailed AnswerTwo University of Chicago professors, Lawrence Fisher and James H. Lorie, hâve nowgiven a factual answer. Their work, first reported December 2, not only supplies a gêneraianswer based on stated premises, but also provides the means for answering countless spécifie questions about common-stock behavior. Their study is of such scope that a new unitwithin the Graduate School of Business — the Center for Research in Security Prices — wascreated to conduct this research and continue utilizing their immense body of data. TheCenter is being sponsored by Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Inc.Based on month-end values and dividends of ail 1,700 common stocks listed on the NewYork Stock Exchange at any time in 1926-1960, their answer is: 'Better than most peoplethought.' A married man with standard déductions earning $10,000 in 1960, and maintainingthe same relative income position in the 34 preceding years, would hâve realized an 8.2%return per annum, compounded annually, after taxes and liquidation costs if he had investedequal sums initially in ail listed companies, reinvested ail dividends and other receipts, andstayed in the market through booms and busts, starting in 1926. No other commonly avail-able form of investment would hâve returned as much.Had this same citizen started in 1932 instead of 1926, his return would hâve been 16.2%through 1960. If his investment had begun in 1950, he would hâve been ahead 13.1% at theend of 1960.In case you've been wondering how bad the Dépression was, had the same investor beenunfortunate enough to invest evenly across the Big Board in September 1929 and sell out inJune 1932, he would hâve lost almost half his capital — 48.8% — each year.continuedTower TopiCS: Volume 30, Number 3 • Published by The University of Chicago for its alumni; Henry H. Hartmann, Editor.1cCJanuary 1964 Tower Topics(Stock Study, continued)A tax-exempt institution following the same practices as our mythical investor would hâvebeen ahead 9.0% for 1926-60, 17.3% for 1932-60, and 14.7% for 1956-60. The comparison ofthèse figures with those for the tax-paying citizen who earns $10,000 shows the net effect,in that tax bracket, of income and capital gains taxes as they actually were during those timeperiods. The tax-exempt institution's loss for 1929-32 would hâve been the same (48.8%)as that of the $10,000-per-year-man, who would not hâve been paying any tax in those years.Had our taxpayer had a $50,000 income instead of $10,000 in 1960, ail other conditionsbeing the same, he would hâve realized 6.8% for 1926-60, 14.1% for 1932-60, and 10.3% for1950-60. His 1929-32 fiasco would hâve cost him 40.6% of his capital per year, less than atax-exempt institution's net loss, on the assumption that such a taxpayer would hâve hadenough other taxable income in those years to offset his capital losses.The StudyBehind thèse figures lie four years of work, some $250,000 in expense, and a challengewhose complexity was not realized— even by Lorie and Fisher— at the outset. On the surface,it does not seem difficult in principle to record month-end prices for some 1700 securities for35 years, plus the dividends issuing on that stock. At the outset, Lorie and Fisher thought ofit only as a big job— one which could be done, given enough money— rather than a particu-larly complex one. They initially estimated $50,000 as the cost, a sum provided by gift ofMerrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith, Inc.They discovered instead that every seemingly simple term and task contained majordifficulties.It tumed out, as a starter, that there is no published list of ail the companies whose stockwas traded on the New York Stock Exchange from 1926 through 1960. They had to consult thefiles of the Exchange itself to get that.Then it developed that it is no simple matter to define a common stock. Over 50 ambiguousdésignations of securities were encountered. In each case, an exhaustive check to déterminethe rights of the security holder was required; sometimes this involved companies now defunct.Such information was particularly hard to come by for issues which went out of existencemany years ago.Tracking the resulting value to an investor through a merger, particularly in the free-wheel-ing days before the 1929 crash, was another situation calling for painstaking research.The simple word "dividend" turned out to be far from simple. Lorie and Fisher ultimatelyclassified 39 différent kinds of distributions which were included in the common stockstudy. Thèse included various species of cash dividends, stock dividends and splits, distributions of stock other than the issue owned, subscription rights, exchange offers, mergerdistributions, and reorganizations.Each "dividend," moreover, had to be keyed according to one of seven possible tax treat-ments existing in 1926-60.The gaps and errors in available sources of stock-quotation data proved to be so greatthat elaborate data-checking programs had to be devised. The latter, in effect, applied com-mon-sense checks to the data to isolate such cases as that where two prices for the same14Tower Topics January 1964security in successive months were unreasonably différent, even though correctly transcribedfrom the original sources.In the course of meeting ail thèse difficulties, the cost of the study grew from the $50,000first estimated to nearly $250,000. Additional help from Merrill Lynch and Graduate School ofBusiness allocations made up the différence.The Task AheadWith this massive job done, The University's Center for Research in Security Prices cannow turn to the intriguing task of exploiting thèse data for ail they contain.The Center, in a manner of speaking, consists of the two men plus a small staff, and eightprecious réels of magnetic tape. The latter contain ail the data collected on stock prices. The IBM7094 computer in The University's Computation Center can scan thèse réels in a couple ofhours to answer whatever new questions within the compass of the data may be put toLorie and Fisher.Technical AnalysisA prime example of the sort of question which can now be studied objectively and exactlyis technical analysis of the stock market, the study of patterns of changes in prices. "Perhapsthe most famous kind," say Lorie and Fisher, "is that conducted by the Dow theory of stockmarket change. No one has yet studied with great fairness whether this technical analysisis similar in its scientific content to crystal bail gazing or whether it has a sound statisticalbasis."We will be very well equipped to appraise the various kinds of statistical analysis and, evenmore fundamentally, to see whether the statistical conditions are such that any kind oftechnical analysis is possible or fruitful."Price DéterminantsA second category of studies planned by Lorie and Fisher will analyze those factors relatedto a particular stock which are believed to affect its price. The ratio between current dividendsand current stock value is, for instance, commonly used as an approximate index to a stock'sstrength and the likelihood that it may increase or decrease in price. How far are the manycommon-sense opinions about this relationship justified factually? No one has ever been ableto answer such a question conclusively; Lorie and Fisher now hâve the means for doing so,since ail dividend information (as well as monthly price data) is on their réels of computertape and can speedily be correlated.Relation to the Economy GenerallyA third range of questions which can now be answered involves another common-sensebelief, that the stock market mirrors the total economy. While many limited studies hâve beenmade relating stock values to such things as money supply, commodity prices, interest rates,and industrial production, no such study has ever been able to include the total stock marketin such an équation, much less the nuances which the Lorie-Fisher data make feasible. Dostock prices anticipate changes in other sectors of the economy, or do they lag behind? Howdirect are the relationships? Thèse and far more sophisticated questions can now be answeredwith a degree of accuracy hitherto unattainable.15January 1964 Tower Topics(Stock Study, continued)Market IndicesOf less économie significance, but probably more gênerai public interest, is the ability to testany proposed stock-market index for accuracy. Does the well known Dow Index provide areasonably close reflection of the total market? Do the so-called blue chips move much as thetotal market does? Do high-priced stocks hâve a price pattern significantly différent from low-priced ones? Would any conceivable sampling of stocks hâve accurately reflected the totalmarket in 1926-60?Ail of this, and more, can be expected to come from those eight réels of magnetic tape, plusthe other data which will be added as required for future studies. The Center has alreadybegun adding common-stock price data since December 31, 1960, so that its future studies canbe more current than the original report. Information on other sectors of the economy is beingadded to permit accurate comparisons with other éléments than common stocks.Others can pursue thèse questions, too, for the Center's magnetic tape can readily be copiedfor other universities equipped to use it. The Center will also seek to meet requests foranalyses from corporations, as long as the Center's right to publish findings freely is notimpaired.The first gênerai report issued in December was, by Lorie and Fisher's lights, ratherprimitive. The discoveries still to come promise a major forward leap in our understanding ofthe nation's economy. — H.R.H.STOCK STUDY— 3 FACES:Lorie (left), Fisher (right).and computer.James H.

S. Anumber of foreign technicians andspecialists in the country on trainingmissions also were présent. Those whoso desired were guests after Christmasfor three days at various downstatehomes and others shared Christmasdinners with Chicago families. Thiswas the fourth annual InternationalHouse gathering of the Christmas sea-son in a séries sponsored by the UnitedStates Department of Agriculture,HEW, and the Education — TrainingDivision of the Agency for International Development.At Thanksgiving, some 500 foreignstudents from the Chicago area, in-cluding 200 from The University, tookpart in the typical American familyThanksgiving as guests in homes inDanville, Freeport, Lockport, Paris,Princeton, Sterling and some southsuburban Chicago communities, wherethey spent several days. This hospitalityoriginated in 1956, when Mrs. T. J.Trogdon, Jr., whose husband was thenmayor of Paris, enlisted the coopération of International House in arrang-ing for guests at Paris and the othercommunities she had organized to invite the students. Mrs. Trogdon stillserves as coordinator of the plan, ofwhich the Christmas period visits arean offshoot.READING RESEARCH CENTER— Research in the reading process, willbe conducted in a newly organizedReading Research Center directed byMrs. Helen Robinson, William S.

It isthe specially designed carrier ofwhat may be precious, intangiblemedicine.Art a la cart is the newest serviceoffered patients at The Universityof Chicago Hospitals. "Paintingsmay not replace penicillin, but theymay prove effective in inducing awarm environment in which re-covery is hastened," says CharlesR. Goulet, Hospitals Superintend-ent, in describing the new program."The hospitalized patient awayfrom home needs to know he isamong friends."The art cart is the newest of agrowing list of patient comforts sup-plied and supported by an office ofvolunteer services under the direction of Mrs. Agnes McDermott.Patients are offered a choice ofpaintings.

Betweenhangings, they are kept in a ther-mostatically controlled room to prevent dampness or warping.Mrs. Julian Goldsmith, the hospital volunteer who is in charge ofthe art cart, sélects twenty paintings for each trip to the patientfloors.The ball-bearing cart is made ofaluminum and is also felt-lined. Thepictures are separated by bamboorods so they can easily slip out forappraisal and sélection.Mrs. Goldsmith reports that mostpatients look at the pictures andsélect the one they like withoutasking who the artist is. "Paintingsby Grandma Moses are popularwith women. The minuteness of détail and vibrance of color seems toappeal to them," says Mrs. Goldsmith.The hospitals' collection is beingexpanded as rapidly as possible."If you write about us, be sure tomention that we welcome ail suit-ably framed pictures someone caresto give us." There are also hopes toexpand the art cart project to include the children's wings of theUniversity Hospitals.Doctors, nurses and the house-keeping staff hâve also respondedto the new project. Beauty, cheer,a touch of human inspiration, careand love are the medicines whichcome rolling down the hospital corridors with this new kind of cart. Dr. Wright Adatns, professor in theDepartment of Medicine and chief ofstaff for the Hospitals, has this to say:"Sometimes I worry that the humaneaspects of medicine can be submergedby the emphasis on the scientific andtechnical. We know too little about thepsychobiological process in fightingdisease."For example, sometimes a patientfinds it hard to talk. Ail I can get isa monosyllabic yes or no.
