He's an engineer operating a velocitypickup or "prober" to measure and analyze the châssis shake and bending characteristics producedin the laboratory by a spécial shake rig. With this equipment, he can simulate the roughest,bumpiest washboard road you'll ever travel. He can compress years of jouncing into just a fewhours and repeat the experiment under identical conditions time and time again. It's only one ofthe exhaustive tests designed to make your General Motors car a better riding, more comfortable car.This engineer's job is something spécial— simple to state, difficult to do: improve existing productsand develop new ones. He and thousands of GM engineers and trained technicians are aiming forthis goal every day of the year.How does he do it? It's not easy. He designs, builds, tests— examines, évaluâtes, improves. He's adoer if there ever was one. The end resuit of his work is the satisfaction which General Motorsproducts bring to their owners.Ail told, there are 19,850 engineers and scientists at General Motors. Five hundred collèges anduniversities are represented, extending from the east coast to the west coast and most statesin between.The engineer is another fine member of the General Motors family— a family which includes notonly employés, but suppliers, shareholders and dealers as well.

Humanities Fellowships —Fillîng a VoidThe University's striking newhumanities fellowships got onlymodest attention in the press whenannounced last month, despite thequarter-million-dollar scope of theprogram and the eminence of thesélection committee.Yet the new fellowship programis probably the most concrète effortmade anywhere to counter thedeepening pattern of relative pov-erty which has afflicted humanisticstudies for perhaps the past twentyyears.By "poverty" we do not meanfinancial disadvantage alone. It ispoverty of people which mostthreatens the humanities.It is peculiarly fitting that Chicago—site of the atomic discoverieswhich may well hâve initiated thehumanities' distress, presided overby a scientist, and often viewed bythe public as primarily a scientificinstitution— should move so boldlyin support of the humanistic disciplines. Just OffBetter yet, the move is based onplain confiction. No angel has sup-plied the money. The problem isnot easily dramatized nor evenwidely understood, and the prac-tical effects will not be visible foryears— so vast public acclaim is un-likely.The new fellowships are designedto be compétitive with those offeredto students in the "hard sciences."Each grant carries an annualstipend of $4,250-5,250 and is re-newable for two years. When theprogram reaches full size in itsthird year, it will provide 45 fellowships and cost The University about$250,000 per year."Humanities" has a flexible mean-ing. There is no rigid list ofdepartments whose students areeligible. The point is to providefellowships in under-financed fields,which includes practically ail thedepartments in the Humanities Division and about half of those inSocial Sciences.The extramural sélection committee (names on page 4), an un-common procédure in intramuralgraduate fellowship awards, ismeant to call public attention tothe problem as well as perform astated function. The Universityfrankly hopes that other universités, too, will not wait for outsidesources to redress the imbalancewhich has been slowly undercut-ting humanistic studies.Everyone knows that the scienceshâve seemed to hâve corporate,philanthropie, and governmentalcornucopia at hand since WorldWar II.

In-deed, it is usually perfectly reason-able for a solid-state physicist tohâve more ancillary support than,say, a New Testament scholar. Thelatter has little need for hardwarelike accelerators and computers.For this reason, the dollar gap be-tween the sciences and the humanities in research support is a falseindex.Humanistically inclined studentshâve the same need for food, shel-ter, and books as potential scien-tists, and their tuition is identical—but the chance of getting help isnot. Any capable science studentcan now anticipate sufEcient, if notgenerous, finance in the years be-tween A.B. and Ph.D. In the "soft"fields, by contrast, only about onestudent in four gets significant help.(There are some exceptions, to besure. Congress became persuadedin 1958 that the command of modem foreign languages is a nationalasset. The resulting supply of fellowship funds attracted studentsSince 1878HANNIBAL, INC.Furniture RepairingUpholstering • RefinishingAntiques Restored1919 N.

This has produced somedelightful side results— a few students of Sanskrit duly became National Assets, owing to the undeni-able relevance of their work to themodem tongues lineally descendedfrom Sanskrit— but the main effectis, of course, restricted to this fieldalone.)A species of this same contrastalso confronts the fledging studentassessing his employment possibil-ities after the doctorate. As a "hard"scientist, he will get better pay ona collège or university faculty thanhis colleagues in the humanities,but this is only one among numer-ous possibilities. His scientific doctorate will hâve an immédiate cashvalue on a corporate research-and-development staff, in a federallyfinanced laboratory like Argonneor Brookhaven, or in a private research institute— ail of which areessentially post-war phenomena.The humanist does not totally lackfor potential non-academic employment, but his opportunities are lessobvious, more diverse, and prob-ably less numerous than those ofhis scientific brother.Similarly, there's a lot biggermarket today for consultants in theempirical sciences than for men expert in archaeology or patristicGreek. Consulting is a major factof life in university f aculties today,and a happy one to the extent thatthe resulting side income helpskeep men on faculties without bal-looning university payrolls.Finally, mixed in with this is an SaveonCharter Flightsto EuropeMembers of The University ofChicago Alumni Association areentitled to participate in charterflights to Europe, arrangeathrough Student Government.New members must hâve joinedprior to January 1, 1964.At press time, three flights areplanned as follows:AU flights originate in Chicago,make one stop (New York Cityor Toronto) to pick up passen-gers, and terminate in Paris.

If theloosely related fields we call thehumanities hâve any commonimage to the gênerai public, thisimage probably emphasizes anti-quity, hair-splitting distinctions,and a remoteness from practicallife.This unhappy blend of adver-sities has had three gênerai effects:relatively declining enrollments,weakness in attracting the best students, and pointlessly extendeddegree programs.The first gains importance fromthe collège enrollment boom, whichis creating new faculty jobs acrossthe country faster than the univer-sities are producing advanced-degree graduâtes. The inexorableresuit, already visible in the national statistics of récent years, isgraduai décline in the average levelof training of collège teachers.The humanities' steadily weak-ening ability to compete for thebest students is a problem requir-ing little explication. No field canthrive on a diet of mediocrity. Thesocial conséquences of permittingsuch a trend to go unchecked areas obvious as they are disturbing.The stretched-out degree programis such an established feature ofhumanistic disciplines that it mayseem strange to include it amongcurrent problems. But the traditionof leisurely progress toward thedoctorate is being questionedsharply today by such spokesmenas Robert E. Streeter, dean of theDivision of Humanities at The University.Is there, Mr. Streeter asks, anydefensible scholarly reason why itneed take a student five to twelveyears from A.B. to Ph.D.? Hedoubts that there is. The physical sciences are keeping their doctoralstudents on a three to five yearschedule, and the apparent resultsare good.Even conceding, as Mr. Streeterdoes, that it may take longer for aman to mature as a humanisticscholar than as an empirical scientist, there is still no compellingreason why the doctorate itselfneed take a décade— except for thematter of finance.The temptation to complète ailwork except the dissertation, whichmay drag on for years, is irrésistiblewhen a student must feed himselfand his offspring by his own earn-ings.The new fellowships are directedsquarely against this kit of problems. Mr. Streeter and the Administration believe that compétitivefinancing for the student is thesingle point where fresh funds willhâve the greatest practical resuit.Although it will take three yearsfor the program to get into fullopération and several more toassess results, we can only applaudthe thinking and the energy whichthe new fellowships symbolize.Those serving on The Universityof Chicago Humanities FellowshipsCommittee are:Virgil Aldrich— Guy Despard GoffProfessor of Philosophy, KenyonCollège; Past Président, WesternDivision, American PhilosophicalAssociation.James Phinney Baxter — PrésidentEmeritus, Williams Collège; Pul-itzer lauréate in history.William Benton— Chairman of theBoard, Encyclopedia Britannica;Trustée of The University; former U.S. Senator from Connecti-cut; former Assistant Secretary ofState.

Eventhough thèse are written for thelayman — the issue, for the mostpart, of The University's Office ofPublic Relations— we must confessthat a deeply furrowed brow is partof our standard equipment in read-ing most of them.Like most people, we are pas-singly conversant with some fieldsand ignorant of most. Thus whilewe attack the daily spate of research stories with considérable in-terest, we do so knowing that a newcollection of terminological andconceptual puzzles lies in wait.One's vocabulary soon becomesloaded with an array of partly un-derstood words, eclectically ga-thered from ail the fields of one'signorance.RICHARD H.

The atom has become abustling collection of sub-sub-parti-cles whose names, fittingly enough,are Greek.But from time to time a University scholar brings forth a new in-sight which common sensé cangrasp immediately— the sort of observation which makes you wonderwhy you hadn't thought of it your-seîf. Such a gem was in a récentpile of PR stories, so we hasten toconvey it, relieved that for once weare fairly sure we know what theman means.Raven I. McDavid, Jr., associateprofessor of English and a scholarin linguistics, has pointed out thatthe way people talk evokes racialand ethnie préjudice— that the accent or dialect characteristic of aminority group is itself a barrier toassimilation of that group in oursociety. A Negro, Puerto Rican, orLouisiana Cajun may be long estab-lished, highly educated, and per-fectly acceptable socially, yet stillencounter préjudice because of hislingo.It is not an adéquate solution toteach minorities to speak an American middle-class dialect exclu-sively, Mr. McDavid says, for thisestranges the person from his owngroup.

Many middle-classNegroes shift back and forth be-tween "educated" and "Uncle Tom"dialects, depending on their Company. War-displaced persons areoften not accepted at the sociallevels warranted by their éducationand former position, not becausetheir English is incorrect but because it is spoken in a dialect whichAmericans associate with the lowerclasses.Before bi-dialectal éducation isfeasible, more research is needed toidentify which of the actual différences in speechways most clearlyinterfère with the advancement ofthe individual. Mr. McDavid andRobert D. Hess, chairman of theCommittee on Human Development of The University, are partof an inter - institutional researchteam now starting one such studyinvolving the speech characteristicsof various social groups in theChicago area.Whatever the outeome, we thankMr. McDavid for expressing his in-sight in a dialect we could assimi-late. -H.R.H.EXHIBIT of paintings by Belgian sur-realist painter René Magrittc — throughApril 10.

Hartmann, Editor.Volume 30, Number 5Study CommitteeThe University of Chicago Alumni Association has declared open seasonon itself . An Association Study Committee has been created under the chair-manship of Arthur A. Baer, '18, to delve into ail facets of the Association,except fund raising, and recommend new patterns for the future.Mr. Baer's committee is expected to add sub-committees, several in citiesoutside Chicago, to assist in its task. The opinions of individual alumni areparticularly sought.The main question before the new committee is whether the structure andactivities of the Alumni Association are adéquate for tomorrow's needs. Itsorganization was last revised in 1941, when the Alumni Fund (formerlyAlumni Foundation) was created as an Association division. The essentialplan still reflected today in the Association structure apart from Fund activities, however, was devised in 1909.Similarly, the main Association program emphases hâve continued formany years. Reunion, which started in 1893, began to sprout lectures andseminars in 1936, but is still best symbolized by the 53-year-old Interfrater-nity Sing. The University of Chicago Magazine has been published monthlyand financed by members' dues since 1907. Services to Chicago clubs acrossthe country hâve had much the same form for 40 years or more.Over those same years, The University and its alumni body hâve beenanything but static. The académie complexion of the alumni, for example,has so changed that graduâtes of the Collège are now slightly in the minority(48%). One-third of the alumni hâve more than one degree from TheUniversity. Apparently no other complex university in America has so greata proportion of post-baccalaureate graduâtes that the statistically averagealumnus has his M.A. and a leg on the doctorate.This is but one among many facts suggesting that Chicago alumni arenotably différent from the norm in their diversity, level of éducation, andinterests. The Study Committee will first seek to articulate those character-istics of The University and its uncommon alumni body which the AlumniAssociation should serve. Then it will assess ail présent activities and services— relying frequently on sub-committees of alumni expert in the mattersunder study — before recommending changes.Your opinion as an interested alumnus is especially sought by the newcommittee. Mailing addresses of the committeemen are included below forthe convenience of alumni who may wish to address comments to individualmembers of the committee.Named thus far to the Association Study Committee are:Arthur A. Baer, '18 (chairman), Board Chairman, The Beverly Bank,1357 W. 103rd St., Chicago 60643. Mr. Baer's long and generous serviceto The University is well known to many alumni.

Michigan Ave., Chicago 60604. No stranger to non-profitorganizations, Mr. Weinberg was executive director of the Lincoln ParkZoo in Chicago until recently.The Président and the Executive Director of the Alumni Association aremembers of the committee ex officio.Recognizing the danger of a "home town" slant, the Study Committee isinviting U. of C. clubs in several cities to participate in three ways: reportingtheir opinions on the whole range of questions before the Study Committee,advising on the spécifie needs of alumni in their cities, and interviewingalumni association officers of comparable universities in their locales.Three existing committees of the Association Cabinet will also report re-commendations to the Study Committee. Thèse are Publications, chairedby Chicago Sun-Times Editor Emmett Dedmon, '39; Programming, chairedby William S. Gray, '48, MBA' 50, a Harris Bank vice président; andFinance, chaired by Richard J. Smith, '37, JD'39, gênerai manager of SmithChevrolet in Hammond.Fund organization, the one exclusion from the Study Committee charge,is being examined simultaneously by a différent group. Chaired by University Trustée John F. Merriam, '25, this committee includes Trustées GlenA. Lloyd, JD'23, and Robert P. Gwinn, '29; Association Président PhilipC. White, '35, PhD'38, and Vice Président George H. Watkins, '36; andFund Chairman Ferd Kramer, '22, and Lyle P. Spencer, '38.Education— The Rôle of RewardA factor related to the development of créative thinking is that of reward.Behaviors that are rewarded tend to persist. In éducation, we must rewardcréative thinking when it is produced. This is not done enough under cur-rent types of testing programs that we now employ in the schools. The typicalbehaviors that are rewarded by most standardized tests deal mainly withdie remembering of material previously learned, rather than with production of creative ideas. Students quickly learn what will count on examina-tions. At the high school and collège level students are very quick to assessthe teacher and to détermine what the demands of the course will be. Havingdone this, they are in a position to provide the teacher with what he wants.One of the things the teacher can do in order to develop creative thinking inchildren is to make use of creative ideas when they are advanced. He shouldnot only tolerate, but reward the production of novel and original thinking.Elliot W . Eisner, Assistant Professor of Education —condensed from a paper given at the. EducationalConférence for Gary School Personnel.Poverty U.S. Style — New Concepts NeededAmericans are ill prepared to fight poverty at home. We hâve longbeen complacent about American poverty, saying to each other, we are theaffluent society. Unfortunately, we are ill prepared to act because we hâvebeen out of touch. Our ideas of poverty are mostly of the New Deal vintagewhich are very obsolète.Both politically and intellectually there has been a long neglect of theinequalities in consumption, in levels of living, and in éducation amongAmerican families. . . .Théodore W.

Well over a thousand years agothey reduced the thirty or so heavens and the eighteen or so hells of IndianBuddhism into little more than a System of metaphysics and mental hygiène.Today, after more than two thousand years, the Chinese under Communism hâve stripped the family of ail its functions except one, namely, toprocreate, nurture, and educate children with understanding and love, af miction which no other human agency can assume.If they bave so far succeeded in making this one function work undercircumstances many times more difficult than those which confront theWestern family, we may perhaps end on a note of guarded optimismthe family will survive.Ping-Ti Ho, Professor of Chinese History and Institutions — from a paper delivered at a récent symposium on "Man and Civilization."VAGABOND RANCHGranby, Colorado. 18th season.

Donnelley Professorof History and dean of the Collège. On thefaculty since 1946, Mr. Simpson will assume thepresidency of Vassar Collège this summer.This article was prepared from the convocation address byAlan Simpson, December, 1963.12 THE UNIVERSITY OF Favorite TopicHoW DOES ONE DISCOVER WHAT A COLLEGE ISLIKE?At this season of the year most students and theirparents are looking at the catalogues; but ail catalogues are liars, and they ail lie in the same dull ways.According to the catalogues, ail collèges are ideallysituated. If they are in the city, it's because we needthe stimulus of the city; if they are in the country, it'sbecause we need the quiet of the country; if they arebeautiful, it's because the soûl responds to beauty;if they are squatting in a pool of misery, it's becausecharacter thrives on discomfort. According to the catalogues, ail the collèges are challenging ail their studentsail the time; they are ail managing to do somethingnew and différent; they are ail turning out more wisemen per thousand B.A.'s than any other collège. Andthey ail hâve the same smirks on the faces of the students: the arch smirk, bland smirk, the sincère smirk.Better than the catalogues— even our catalogue,which of course is exempt from thèse frailties— is aPersonal inspection by the knowledgeable visitor, whoscans the library, the laboratories, the bulletin boards,the student newspaper; listens to snatches of conversation in the corridors; asks what the students are ex-cited about; sees what the best products look like whenthey are really stretched, what the worst products looklike when they are really curled up, and what botnof them look like when they are sitting down!CHICAGO MAGAZINE FEBRUARY, 1964One can also look at a collège, ruminatingly, withan eye for tradition.Our Collège is a meeting place— a jostling placeand often a wrestling place— for ail the principle traditions which hâve moulded university collèges inthis country and for some others of our own manufacture.A very engaging educator, with an eye for tradition,recently wrote "A university anywhere can aim nohigher than to be as British as possible for the sakeof the undergraduates; as German as possible for thesake of the graduâtes; as American as possible for thesake of the public at large; and as confused as possiblefor the sake of the préservation of the whole uneasybalance."OESIDES THE THREE national traditions mentionedby Président Kerr, we hâve two more of our own anda proportionate amount of confusion.We hâve a British tradition, not because we aimno higher than the British— a preposterous thought—but because a British tradition, exported, distorted,repelled, and revived, winds its way through most ofthe collegiate history of this country. We see it inthe residential arrangements, which reflect the re-sponsibility which the British tradition, unlike thecontinental European, assumes for éducation outsidethe classroom. Thèse residential arrangements, inci-dentally, hâve undergone considérable changes in thecourse of their westward migration. The four pillarsof a libéral éducation in the architecture of an OxfordFEBRUARY, 1964 THE UNIVERSITY OF... -*'collège were a chapel, a library, a garden, and a bar.In an Ivy League house, the chapel and the bar hâvegone, the garden has dwindled to a few trees, andonly the library remains. Westward still, the collègeis accurately named a dormitory— a place to sleep in—and we ail know schools where its architecture lookslike something on the toll road— a mindless, spiritlessmotel. At Chicago, we like to think that our résidencesare in happy contrast to thèse unlovely pads.British, too, is the room for the teacher who prefersto write on the hearts of young men instead of onpaper; the recurring effort to recapture some of theintimacy and rigor of the tutorial System; and, ofcourse, the attitude to sport. We play games at Chicago, as we never tire of telling our suspicious lovers, forthe fun of the players and the cheerful amusement ofa few of their friends, among whom I include myself.The German tradition in our Collège is the présencearound it and inside it of ail those research resourceswhich are symbolized in our University cérémoniestoday. The University of Chicago was one of the firstgraduate institutions in this country to be erected inthe image of the great achievements of nineteenth cen-tury German scholarship. The présence of this moun-tainous organization for the advancement of knowledge, in both its brilliant and its stoney aspects, addsa dimension to the university collège which is missingfrom the uncomplicated libéral arts collège. It caneither greatly enrich or painfully diminish the qualityof an undergraduate éducation. The central problemin university collèges is to get the research f aculties tointerest themselves in undergraduates, to appreciatetheir spécial needs, and to dévote to the fertilizationof young minds some fruitful fraction of their ownénergies.The third national tradition has been labeled American. It has an ancestry in the concern which any un-developed country— as we were once and as many aretoday— must feel for practical needs. It gave us theland-grant institution, and it is represented in ail public institutions and many private ones by a wide varietyof vocational or utilitarian service. This note is notso évident hère. We hâve no schools of agriculture,Alan Simpson (opposite page) engineering, journalism, or performing arts, not tomention those courses in mortuary science— or HopeChest 1 and 2-which used to be the butt of so muchChicago satire. We believe that our spécial bent isto identify the intellectual élément in a problem. But,of course, we are no ivory tower. The simple distinctions which universities like our own could once drawbetween unpractical research and practical service,are hopelessly out of date. The University of Chicagois a center of power with tremendous implications fornational security and public welfare, and it's a dullundergraduate whose imagination is not quickenedby the thought of our involvement in social engineeringon a gigantic scale.1WO OTHER TRADITIONS hâve left their imprint onthe Collège. One is the legacy of Chancellor Hutchins-a concentration on the ends of libéral éducation, aluminous cultivation of the arts of dialogue, an im-pressive achievement in "gênerai éducation" as a coun-terpoise to the professionalization and fragmentationof knowledge.The other is a local maverick tradition, rich in myth,bold in hope, feeding proudly on a sensé of spécialdestiny. Its student exponents remind a historian ofpuritanism of those little congrégations in the 17thcentury, half heroic, half frenetic, who separated themselves from the polluted mass of mankind in order toenjoy the privilèges of elect soûls. The Collège, in theirrapt vision, is an island of reason in an océan of bar-barism, a beacon of light in a fogbound world, a fort-ress of nonconformity with its guns trained on theoafish conformists. Public approval is the kiss of death.Better far to be thought a hotbed of cranks than ahome for squares.Ail this makes a heady brew, and the ferment spillsaround us. It's no uncommon thing to discover thatthe students who are saving the University are noteven registered in it. Maybe they were once, maybethey would like to be; but they are faithful to it aftertheir fashion. For the comfort of the aging alumnus,I would like to say that no urban collège with any lifein it is without this fringe of dispossessed or unpos-sessed lovers. continuedFEBRUARY, 1964 THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINE 15WHERE does our genius lie?First, in the rich diversity I hâve just sketched.Other schools— especially the small libéral arts collège—may build their fortunes on a particular région orclientèle or dogma, encase themselves in a philosophy,or even subsist for a while on a personality. But whatwould be reasonable enough for them would be sec-tarian for us. Catholicity is our profession. This is auniversity, and there is something universal aboutthe hospitality which it offers to everyone who meetsits académie standards. Our maverick tradition— whichis simply a romantic exaggeration of the virtues ofnonconformity— is one interesting voice. But only oneamong many.Secondly, is our concern with the essence of a libéral éducation. However defined, this is a matter ofintellectual tools, literary skills, some breadth of knowledge, some grasp of standards, some sensé of style.It is the expérience which equips a learner to read,write, count, think, judge, and act, and to do so inthe Hght of a good gênerai culture. It was the éducation which Newman had in mind when he spokeabout "preparing a man to fill any post with crédit andto master any subject with facility"; which John StuartMill had in mind when he said that "men are menbefore they are lawyers, physicians, or merchants, ormanufacturers; and if you make them capable and sensible men, they will make themselves capable andsensible lawyers or physicians." It was the idéal whichChancellor Hutchins had in mind when he inspireda brilliant experiment in gênerai éducation.Though this idéal has guided ail sorts of societiessince the Greeks first publieized it, it was never moreurgently needed today when the explosion of knowledge and number is making its cultivation so difficult.At the heart of it lies the faith in the power of theeducated man to develop a gênerai judgment, a mana-gerial intelligence, which he can apply to his country 'saffairs or to world affairs as well as his own. We hâvemade it so much easier to master a craft without seeingthat craft in perspective, so much easier to submit tothe experts in other crafts without asking them questions.The RESPONSIBILITY for libéral éducation restslargely on the undergraduate collège. We are so or-ganized in many of our universities that the job is onlyindifferently done. The old British university has beendescribed as a one-story building with a few graduâtesin the attic. The new American university might bedescribed as a one-story building with a lot of under-graduates in the basement. Some of our great universities hâve even resented this encroachment of irrelevant young people on good storage space! So we areCHICAGO MAGAZINE FEBRUARY, 1964confronted by the paradox which often condemns theundergraduate in the university collège to a life ofdeepening intellectual poverty in the midst of risingresearch standards.The University of Chicago has set its face againstthis fate. Its Président exemplifies the conviction thatthe greatest scientists should also be the greatest teach-ers. Its Quantrell Prizes uphold the prestige of teach-ing. Its named professorships include several for dis-tinguished contributions to libéral éducation. It doesnot hesitate to proclaim that many différent kinds ofexcellence are needed to sustain a good collège. Itmaintains a collège which, while drawing on thestrength of the university, has the power to developits own thrust. And being small, it is a collège whichcan stand upright instead of leaning on the crutches ofmass éducation.It is not surprising if the basic powers of inquiryflourish hère, and if our students are distinguished fortheir commitment to the intellectual life and for thevigor— not to say ferocity— with which they practice it.Third, I would like to say a word about our unob-trusive successes. A good éducation is often a veryquiet business. It's the deans, the fund raisers, therecruiters, the critics, and the rebels who feel obligedto be noisy about it. It is part of the genius of a goodcollège to conceal from the reports of its public relations department, its convocations speakers, or itsstudent newspaper, the excellence of many of its wares.A Chicago éducation is rich in thèse unpublicizedvirtues. Too subtle and individual to be translated bythe promoter, too impervious to offer a foothold to thecritic, ignored by the talkers but prized by the gratefullearners, they are the silent civilizers in our midst.Thèse virtues flow from a high tradition of disciplinedlearning; they are the assurance that intelligence isbeing trained, creativity encouraged, and taste re-fined. I would include among our unobtrusive suc-cesses, during his collège years hère, the biologistJames Dewey Watson, who was recently awarded aNobel Prize at the âge of thirty-three for discoveriesmade at twenty-five— a symbol of our power to stimu-late quietly an original mind.THE THREEFOLD AIM of éducation is the enrich-ment of personal life, the service of society, and theadvancement of civilization. The outcomes of éducation are not easily measurable in individual lives,but they are very visible in the survival of nations andin the reach of their culture. America stands todayon an awesome peak of power and promise. Collègeswith the genius of this one, inventive, imaginative,critical, in which every gift of fertile enthusiasm andevery promising irrévérence for established ideas getsits full measure of hospitality, are not unequal to thechallenge. ?FEBRUARY, 1964 THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINE 17AroundIn the normal course of a constantlychanging institution of the dimensionsof The University of Chicago the effortto build the faculty usually producesthe news of appointments, for thechanges in the relatively small administration are few. But this month, themajor items concern two new vice-présidents, as Président Beadle movedto rebuild the shrunken ranks of hisclose administrative associâtes.James J. Ritterskamp, Jr., who hasbeen vice président of Illinois Instituteof Technology and treasurer of the HTResearch Institute for the past threeyears, has been appointed vice-présidentfor administration. He succeeds Ray E.Brown, whose résignation to become director of the graduate degree programin hospital administration at DukeUniversity takes effect on March 1.James J. RitterskampMr. Ritterskamp, who holds degreesin law and business from WashingtonUniversity, St. Louis, Missouri, re-mained there in administration untilhe went to HT in 1961. A member ofthe Missouri bar, he is an officer anddirector in several organisations of uni- the Midwayversity and collège business adminis-trators.Richard F. O'Brien will become vice-président for planning and develop-ment on May 1. He cornes to The University from Stanford University wherehe has been the director of Stanford'sPACE (Plan of Action for a Challeng-ing Era) campaign which exceeded its$100,000,000 goal by $9,000,000.The office Mr. O'Brien assumeshas been vacant for two and one-halfyears, since the résignation of Henry T.Sulcer, '33, J.D. '36. A graduate ofthe University of California, Mr.O'Brien took an M.A. degree at Stanford after three wartime years as adeck officer in the Navy. Beginningin 1946, he held a succession of staffpositions at Stanford, becoming director of development in 1959.Richard F. O'BrienMORE ALUMNI TRUSTEES— Har-old H. Swift, '07, was the first alumnusto be elected to the Board of Trustées,in 1914. His performance was sonotable that he was soon joined by others and today the ranks of theBoard increasingly are being filled byformer Chicago students. ChairmanEairfax M. Cône recently announcedthe élection of two more alumni, Ell-more C. Patterson, '35, and FerdKramer, '22. That made three alumniin a row, Robert O. Anderson, '39,having been elected a trustée lastNovember.The number of alumni on the Boardof Trustées is now at an ail time highof 15 out of 40 of the active members,and in addition, seven of the 16 hon-orary trustées — those who hâve reachedthe âge of 70 — are alumni.The Class of 1935, an outstandinggroup and one that since has con-tributed many effective workers forThe University, took pride in being thefirst to complète the Collège programinstituted by Chancellor Hutchins,which instituted seven required com-prehensive examinations covering asmany year-long gênerai éducationcourses. Eli Patterson was a highlyvisible member of that class duringhis four years, a first-rate Big Tenccnter on the football team and itscaptain in 1934, an intercollegiate tennis player and a University Marshal.After graduation, he joined J. P.Morgan & Company, with three yearsout during World War II for duty ona destroyer escort in the South Pacific.He is now executive vice-président ofthe Morgan Guaranty Trust Companyof New York, in charge of its gêneraibanking division. He is a director ofnumerous corporations and his list ofoutside civic and philanthropie activities is a long one. He also has a lead-ing part in the Alumni Fund, as national vice-chai rman.Mr. Kramer is président of Draper& Kramer, Inc., one of the country'sprominent organizations in real estateand mortgage banking, whose activities hâve included construction andopération of several large high-riseresidential complexes that hâve beenfactors in the rejuvenation of Chicago'ssouth side and the University area.He received an Alumni Citation in1947 for his leadership in publicspirited organizations and was awardedthe Distinguished Housing and Rede-velopment Service Award of the National Association of Housing Officiaisin 1952. He became national chairmanof the Alumni Fund last autumn, suc-18 THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINE FEBRUARY, 1964cceding C. E.

Chase, chairman ol the départaient and dean of the Graduate Schoolof Education, told his associâtes and theadministration last year lie wanted tobc relieved of those duties so that hetould concentrate on a séries of edu-cational studies that interested him.The faculty promptly and unanimouslyadopted a resolution insisting lie continue, but Mr. Chase stuck with hisintention. As of July 1 he will continue as professor in the départaientand school he has reshaped and réorientée! in the past décade.The new dean is Roald F. Campbell,59. He first came to The University in1957 as director of the Midwcst Administration Center, and in February,1961 was named to the William ClaudeReavis Professorship of EducationalAdministration. He had been professor of éducation for six years at OhioState University before Dean Chasebrought him to Chicago, his Ohio appointaient being preceded by a rangeof professional expérience as a teacher,principal and superintendent of schoolsin the west and southwest.Mr. Chase first came to The University in 1945, as director of the RuralEducation Service, which was sup-portcd by a grant of the KelloggFoundation. He became a professorRoald F. CampbellFEBRUARY, 1964 THE of éducation in 1951, chairman of thedepartment in 1954, and also dean ofthe Graduate School of Education whenit was established in 1958 to work inthe spécial sphère of teacher éducation.The School, the Midwest Administration Center and the ComparativeEducation Center were among his innovations, but thèse administrativedeviecs are secondary to the great influence Mr. Chase has exerted in éducation at ail levels. Not the least ofhis achievements has been in obtainingrécognition of subject proficiency aswell as methodology as equipment ofthe effectivcly trained teacher.MORE APPOINTMENTS— Associate Dean of Bi Sci — Dr. Robert G.Page, associate professor in the Department of Medicine, whose médical spe-cialty is cardiology, has been appointedassociate dean of the Division of theBiological Sciences. A member of thefaculty since 1953, he has been for thepast six years assistant dean for médical éducation, and has served as chairman of several continuing committees.Dr. Page will work with Dean H.Stanley Bennett in planning for thedevelopment of program and facilitiesfor The University's médical center.Dr. Wright R. Adams, associate dean,is chief of staff of the hospitals andclinics.Assistant Superintendent — James R.Stricker, M.B.A. '58, has been madeassistant superintendent of the hospitals and clinics, and lecturer in theGraduate School of Business in hos-pital administration. His latest hos-pital post was that of administrator ofCity Mémorial Hospital, Winston-Salem, North Carolina.Assistant Divinitv Dean — Lloyd W.Putnam, A. M. '56, has been namedassistant dean, a new position, of theDivinity School. Formerly director ofCampus Christian Ministry for theCleveland Baptist Association and program associate of the Student ChristianUnion, he will develop an alumni program for the School, and be in chargeof its public relations.ARGONNE HOSPITAL CON-TRACT— The U. S. Atomic EnergyCommission has extended its contractwith The University for the opérationof the Argonne Cancer Research Hospital through September 30, 1968.The hospital, on Ellis Avenue, and physically a part of the UniversityClinics, was constructed by the Commission and opened in 1953. Sincethen it has been operated by The University, whose médical staff conductsresearch and clinical treatment and investigations with radioactive élémentsand radiations. Operating cost of theArgonne Hospital for fiscal 1964 isestimated at $2,500,000.EDITH AND GRACE ABBOTTPAPERS— Some 40,000 letters,speeches, professional articles andpamphlets of Edith and Grâce Abbott,eminent members of the Chicago faculty who had major rôles in shapingsocial service into a clearly defined andeffective profession and in achievinga national conscience about social prob-lems, hâve been catalogued and placedin The University archives. The mate-rial was a gift of the heirs of the twosisters.Edith Abbott, Ph.D.,'05, was partof the independent School of Civicsand Philanthropy when she first wasappointed to The University in 1913.In 1920, the School came to The University, and when the présent GraduateSchool of Social Service Administrationtook définitive form, she became itsdean in 1924. She retired in 1942, buttook over the editing of the SocialService Review for some years beforereturning to her home in Grand Is-land, Nebraska, where she died in1957.Grâce Abbott, Ph.M.,'()9, becamedirector of the Immigrants' ProtectiveLeague at its organization in 1915. In1917 she went to the Child Labor Division of the United States Children'sBureau, of which she was appointedchief in 1921. She left the Bureau in1934 to join her sister as professor ofpublic welfare and editor of the SocialService Revieiv. Her career at TheUniversity was relatively brief, for shedied in 1939.The collection constitutes a broadand intimate historical record of theemerging methods for dealing withsocial problems and the unceasingfight of the band of crusaders, whichincluded such women as Jane Addamsand Julia Lathrop, for social législation. It will provide a rich Iode forsocial historians and presumably, doctoral thèses for Ph.D. candidates in SSA.— William V. Morgenstern19UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINETHE MITOCHONDRIONMighty mite in the human energy chainDr. Humberto Fernandez-MoranThe energy for every human and animal action—from a man tying his shoelaces to a dog wagging itstail— is produced by tiny structures in the cells called"mitochondria." In thèse minute power plants, food isconverted into energy, and the energy is stored inchemical form for future cell use.Scientists for décades hâve been trying to unravelthe complex process by which this transformationtakes place.The key to the problem was provided thirty yearsago by a University of Chicago anatomist, Robert R.Bensley. In 1934, Mr. Bensley showed that intactmitochondria could be isolated from crushed cells ofguinea-pig liver in a large enough quantity forchemical analysis.With Mr. Bensley 's clue, the chemical investigatorsset to work. Among the early leaders in the searchwere two biochemists in The University 's Ben MayLaboratory for Cancer Research: Albert L. Lehninger,now head of the physiological chemistry departmentat Johns Hopkins, and Eugène P. Kennedy, now headof the biological chemistry department at HarvardMédical School.Little by little, Mr. Lehninger, Mr. Kennedy, andothers put together an outline of the task the mito-chondrion performs— the release of energy from foodmolécules in the cell by oxidation, and the harnessingof this energy in the chemical bonds of a compoundcalled adenine triphosphate, or ATP. The process, theyfound, involves at least seventy différent enzymes andco-enzymes, precisely arranged in a highly organizedpattern. The enzymes are pro teins that act as chemical catalysts; the co-enzymes are substances, likevitamins, that make it possible for the enzymes to dotheir work.20 THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINE FEBRUARY, 1964But scientists wanted to probe still further into thetiny structures that perform this complicated task.And this presented problems.Mitochondria are so small that a thousand of themcould fit into the space of a grain of sand withouttouching each other. Under the traditional lightmicroscope, which magnifies about 1,000 times, theycan be seen only as tiny beads or threads.The development of the électron microscope, whichprobes objects with beams of électrons instead oflight, has made it possible to study the mitochondriamore closely. With this magnification, hundreds oftimes more powerful than that of the light microscope,it was found that the mitochondria were fluid-filled"sausages" made of a double membrane— one formingan outer envelope, the other arranged inside in a sériesof deep folds. The membranes themselves are onlya few molécules thick.Now a University of Chicago biophysicist, Dr.Humberto Fernandez-Moran, using spécial électronmicroscope techniques, has been able to map the in-terior of the mitochondrion in even greater détail.To further his research, Dr. Fernandez-Moran de-veloped a number of highly intricate mechanicaldevices. The knives used in this délicate work hadpreviously been made of steel or glass. Neither ofthèse seemed to provide a fine enough cutting edge,and constant re-sharpening was needed. Dr. Fernandez-Moran developed a diamond knife and inventeda process of grinding and polishing the cutting edgeto an unprecedented degree. It is said that it can euta human hair lengthwise into 10,000 sections. Theentire cutting edge is about three millimeters in length.To advance a spécimen over the microscopic distance required for the ultra-thin slicing, a métal alloyspécimen holder was developed. Depending on theamount of heat supplied, the métal alloy expands justenough to accomplish the exact feeding process overthe knife's cutting edge. A protective chamber, made by sealing the spécimenbetween two films of graphite thin enough for électrons to pass through, keeps the fragile spécimen fromdrying out in the vacuum inside the électronmicroscope.Using thèse and still other technical refinements, theVenezuelan-born scientist was able to observe the in-terior of the mitochondrion as no man before him.He found in each tiny sausage-shaped structure upto 100,000 even tinier bodies, studding the membranelike the seeds in a pomegranate. The membraneparticles themselves are comparable in size to thesmallest viruses. Each particle has a faceted head,connected to the membrane with a tiny cylindricalstem.In related studies at the University of Wisconsin,biochemist David E. Green and his associâtes areusing Dr. Fernandez-Moran's blueprint to reconstructthe rôle of thèse mitochondrion particles. They hâvefound that each particle is a highly organized packetof some twenty enzymes and co-enzymes that play abasic rôle in the mitochondrion's energy-transformingjob. In this enzyme séquence, energy in the form ofélectrons released from food molécules is carriedthrough a complicated séries of steps and in theprocess is coupled to the formation of ATP, the chemi-cal-energy carrier. The transfer of energy in a sériesof small chemical reactions avoids the sudden releaseof energy that would upset the even températureof the cell.Dr. Fernandez-Moran and his Wisconsin colleagueshâve dubbed the tiny enzyme packets "elementaryparticles" of the mitochondria.Dr. Fernandez-Moran describes the mitochondrionitself as "a Rosetta Stone, whose deciphering will ulti-mately permit us to decipher the molecular code ofthe many energy-transforming Systems in living cells."?Mitochondrion ModelFEBRUARY, 1964 THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINE 21Alumni Fund LeadersTo Spearhead Record CampaignThe University of Chicago Alumni Fund was boniin 1942. That was the same year that man enteredthe Atomic Age under the stands of Stagg Field.Although Chicago was already in the forefront inthe sciences, it was far more modest in its campaignsfor alumni support of The University. Yale had anannual giving program since 1890; Dartmouth since1915, and Harvard since 1925.Still, in the first year of Chicago's annual-givingfund, 4,970 alumni contributed $51,131. By 1963 thenumber of contributing alumni had grown to 14,513,and the combined gift had increased to $1,191,318,including ail of the professional schools. A little morethan $200,000 of this was for unrestricted purposes.The Alumni Fund has been growing, but not fastenough to suit the dynamic leadership of Ferd Kramer,'22, the 1964 Alumni Fund Chairman— or the needs ofThe University. The fact that by February the fundwas 26 per cent ahead of a year ago is encouraging,but not comforting to Mr. Kramer. His goal is a 100per cent increase in unrestricted funds over 1963. Ingiving his reasons, Mr. Kramer states:"Some years ago Chicago was looked upon as oneof the two or three greatest universities on this continent.

The mémorial, which will cost $10,000, wasstarted with a $1,000 contribution onJanuary 24.Speaking of Professor Harris in amémorial tribute at Bond Chapel,Mr. Simpson said in part:. . . Abe Harris combined an appren-ticeship in life as a bootblack, deliveryboy, porter, and waiter with the pursuitof an éducation. His académie career hasbeen equally divided between HowardUniversity, where he served eighteenyears as professor of économies, andeighteen years at The University of Chicago. He served as professor of économiesin the Collège, professor of philosophyin the Department of Philosophy, andassociated member of the Department ofEconomies.Abe Harris exemplified the union ofscholarship and teaching. He applied thetouchstone of common sensé to preten-tious Systems. He pressed ail his enjoy-ment of life into the service of teaching.He was the kind of man who could résolve an impasse created by Marx or Millwith an anecdote of his mother 's. . . .Undergraduates remember him for hisaccessibility, his kindness, his patiencewith their problems, his integrity.The interests of Negroes in our societyare also served in more ways than one,and Abe would be the last to claim thathis way was the only way or the best.His lot in this community lightened somehardships. We honored him as a scholarand a friend and were honored by him.But the omniprésent facts of racial préjudice in American life were hère to besuffered, joked about, thought about,and some day resolved.He was unprepared, by either tempérament or scholarship, to acknowledge anylesser loyalty than the human race.Humanity was his fraternity. A raw com-mitment to a sectional interest was a sinagainst love and reason.It may be difBcult to teach wisdom,but it cornes naturally to some people todemonstrate it. Abe Harris — a brave,buoyant, loyal, lovable being— was such aperson. In a university dedicated to libéraléducation, he served its highest ends byenlarging our freedom and humanity.Contributions may be sent to theAbram L.

Wendell Harrison, s.M'25, Ph.D.soby William V. Morgenstern '20, ].D.'22.Mr. Morgenstern is former Secretary of The University andformer Director of Pid>lic Relations."Pat" Harrison, who served Tlie University as an administrative gyroscope inthe Division of Biological Sciences and thepresident's Office for twenty years, andretired last June after earning affectionand respect of faculty, trustées and administration, died in his retirement home,Foley, Alabama, on February 8. To hismany friends, the news bronght deepregret and disappointment. They hadhoped, despite a precarious séries ofheart involvements, that "Pat" wouldfinally do the fishing he enjoyed so muchand so seldom had time to do.He had first corne to The University in1921 as a graduate student in biologyafter his undergraduate degree at Southern Methodist University that year. Afterhe took his Ph.D. in 1930, with an inter-vening Master's in 192.5, the while holding an académie appointment at SouthernMethodist until 1927, he joined thefaculty of Washington University, St.Louis. There he remained until he cameback to Chicago in 1937.He had spent his time as a graduateStudent even more profitably and im-portantly than getting his degrees. During this period he courted and marriedhis wife, who lived near the quadrangles.Mary Harrison, one of the delightfulpeople in The University community,pert, gay and generous in understanding,was a bulwark for "Pat" in a home towhich he could retreat with anticipation.His scientific fields were bacteriologyand immunology, and lie engaged inresearch in a number of areas. At thetime he was drafted for administrativework, as associate dean of the Division ofBiological Sciences in 1942, lie was deeplyinterested in dental caries and some ofthe leads he had developed were ex-ploited by others when a desk and amountain of paper work took him out ofthe laboratory. He always retained ayearning to return to research, thoughhe knew he was irrevocably committedas he moved to dean of the Division in1944 and then, in 1947, to vice-presidentand dean of faculties.His administrative responsibilities re-quired a backbreaking amount of détail,involving, among other major items, thepréparation of the budget and passingon recommendations as to the appointment, rétention and promotion of a fac-ult\ that numbered over 900. Both jobsWere of such magnitude that their détailsince has been redistributed. To his duties, "Pat" brought an in-exhaustible patience, unflagging labor,and a vast charity. Ile had need of thepatience and charity, for he had to ad-judicate any internecine wrangles andPersonal grievances, real or imagined,that arose in the académie part of TheUniversity. He was the wailing wall andthe whipping boy for the individualisticand not infrequently unreasonable members of the community of scholars.With the more outrageous, he had anunfailing technique; hc lct them talk andtalk, while he listened with unruffled de-meanor, tinkering with a pipe thatseldom burned. Somewhere in thèseinterviews he would state his positionbriefly, and with emphasis. Occasionallyat the end of the day and of one ofthèse wearing interviews, "Pat" wouldexplode in a mildly profane denunciationof man's crassness, but he never held agrudge. The central principle of hispolicy was that the faculty was the heartof The University, and so his functionwas to serve it.The allocation of the académie budgetwas another unending consumer of histime; one budget was hardly in effectbefore the work on the next was begun.There were conférences with deans andchairmen, ail involving balaneing and allocation as between competing de-mands and needs, so that the whole workof The University would be forwarded.There were so few office hours remain-ing after ail the appointments to do muchelse, and so each night "Pat" packeda bulging bag to take home. He neverliked a dictating machine, and the paperswould corne back for transcription withhis tightly pencilled notes on the top ofan attached sheet.In the interregnum between Chanceliers Hutchins and Kimpton, "Pat" hadquietly assumed a great share of the fonctions which normally fall to the head ofThe University. When next this servicewas needed, following Mr. Kimpton'srésignation, the Trustées placed thistrickiest of ail assignments in his hands."Pat" handled the acting chancellor-ship with his customary good sensé,and was self-effacing about it, but thephysical strain of this extra work in1961 took its toll.How skillfully he wrougbt was demon-strated on his retirement, when a demandfor a party in his honor overruled hisinsistence against any "fuss." "Pat's" wasthe biggest and warmest of them ail, withhundreds coming to the réception in aspontaneous expression of appréciation.He had earned it.Before you buy insurance lookinto the'Blue Chip'companythat's low in net cost, tooTake two life policies.
