White#Président of the Alumni AssociationFebruary, 1965Dear Alumni Association Member:I am glad to inform you that in a few months the Association will again hâve thebenefit of a full-time Director. Mr. Ranlet Lincoln, currently administrative assistant to the Directorof Precollegiate Education at the University's Laboratory Schools, will take over responsibilityfor Association affairs, effective July 1. Since Mr. Harding left us last fall to become Assistantto the Président of the National Merit Scholarship Corporation of Evanston, Illinois, we hâve hadno one serving in this capacity full-time. In the intérim, we hâve been deeply indebted toMr. Harry Sholl, Director of the Alumni Fund, who is currently also serving as Acting Directorof the Association and will continue to do so until next July. It is my firm belief that theappointment of Mr. Lincoln brings to the University's Alumni affairs a man with the vision,ability, and understanding of educational issues needed to strengthen the Alumni Association'sclose and significant relationship with the University.Prior to joining the University in 1963, Lincoln had been assistant to the Director of theMissouri Botanical Garden in St. Louis, and before that he was vice-président of a St. Louispublic relations firm. He was graduated from St. John's Collège, Annapolis, Maryland,in 1950 after service with the Navy in World War IL From 1950 to 1954 he was with the UnitedStates Information Service in New York and New Delhi. In 1954, he was Admissions Officerat St. John's.In addition to his duties at the Laboratory Schools, Lincoln is currently a candidatefor the Master's degree in the Department of Education of The University of Chicago.During récent years, he has served as educational and public relations consultant to WebsterCollège in St. Louis; the Madison Project in school mathematics of Syracuse University;Charles R. Feldstein & Co., Inc., of Chicago; and the Foreign Relations Project of the North CentralAssociation of Collèges and Secondary Schools.Lincoln was married in 1947 to the former Claire d'Arcis Dunham of Virginia.The Lincolns hâve two children and live at 1019 East 48th Street in the Kenwood sectionof Chicago.Officially, Mr. Lincoln's appointment is to a new position in the University's administration,that of Director of Alumni Affairs and Assistant to the Vice Président for Public Affairs.Your Cabinet recently approved changes in the Constitution and By-laws of the Associationwhereby the Association affairs would be administered by the individual holding this positionin the University, rather than by an independently employed executive director as has beenthe case in the past.In another change approved this month by the Cabinet, local alumni groups arenow permitted to elect or appoint représentatives to the Cabinet directly. One représentativemay be appointed, up to a maximum of two représentatives, for each 500 Association memberswho are also members of the local Alumni Club or régional association. It is hoped that thischange will be a useful step in strengthening the nationwide identity of the Alumni Associationand will enable everyone to hâve a more clear-cut means of representing local alumni opinionat the policy-making level. We urge those of you who are active in local groups to availyourselves of this new provision of the Constitution and to elect Cabinet représentativeswho hopefully can attend at least an occasional Cabinet meeting and otherwise keep intouch by correspondence.2Ranlet Lincoln and Philip C. WhiteOur décision to make this change was reached after much soûl searching anddélibération. We feel that it is a constructive move that will go far to improve the effectivenessof our relations with the University, both as an organization and as individuals. Many of you,I know, are familiar with the effective job that has been done by our professional schoolalumni associations: law, médical, business, etc. In no small measure their effectiveness canbe attributed to the fact that their affairs are administered by a member of the administrativestaff of the particular professional school. We felt the overall University Alumni Association wouldbenefit by a similar relationship. The Cabinet, the officers, and the Executive Committeeof your Association will continue to function as formerly, and the amended Constitutionprovides that the "Director of Alumni Affairs shall be responsive to the policy guidance ofthe Association officers and Executive Committee."I believe that 1965 will be an important year in the Association's history. I also hopethat it will be a happy and a successful one for each of you.Yours very truly,C UuX^Fg^^Philip C. White3photography by HILLContemporary ArtYoung CollectorsThe Renaissance Society recently staged its 18thannual exhibition and sale of "Contemporary Artfor Young Collectors." Held at the Society's gal-leries in Goodspeed Hall, the 1964 show presentedover a thousand works, ranging from oil paintingsand sculpture to prints and pottery. Among theartists represented were Ralph Arnold, Mary Gehr,Schomer Lichtner, and Abbott Pattison, with minorworks of Chagall, Kollwitz, and Braque to furtherstimulate esthetic appetites.The Renaissance Society, independent of theUniversity, is dedicated to individual ownership ofart, and its exhibitions are designed to keep prices within reach of young collectors. The first show, in1946, had a $20 limit on ail works exhibited, andwas an immédiate success. The following year thelimit was raised to $50 and the resulting collectionwas circulated nationally by the American Fédération of Arts. Public reaction was enthusiastic andsimilar shows, even to the name, hâve since ap-peared throughout the country. Three years agoa range of $1 to $100 was flxed, and the uppeflimit has not affected sales: this year's show at-tracted buyers from across the country and soloa quarter of its works at its evening opening onNovember 29.^ >- '« 4 mmmmm.iu«^ ,**** a' ^i."*;: ¦. ^•:téJ^ii','*J > ^* •è"A new spirit is abroad inthe Roman Catholic Church. . . ."by Professor Jerald C. Brauer,Dean of the Divinity SchoolA PROTESTANT ATVATICAN IIThe dynamics and achievements of the second Vaticancouncil are both intriguing and historié. The followingreport records certain personal observations and com-ments of one who sat through the last half of the thirdsession and participated in the final "fateful forty-eighthours."A Protestant observer inevitably is impressed by spécifie things in and around the Council. St. Peter's, inîtself, is an awe inspiring sight, but when one spends overa month, five to six mornings weekly, in St. Peter's in thecompany of more than two thousand bishops and theirvarious personal theologians, it is an expérience never tote forgotten. It is undeniable that the setting added not0,dy to the dignity and solmnity of the meetings, but alsoprovided an unforgettable historical dimension. One was°onstantly aware that he was observing the délibérations°i an institution almost two thousand years old. The issuesdiscussed, the procédures employed, even the dress of theParticipants pointed to centuries long past. At the same time, one was struck by the tremendous effort on the partof thèse participants to make the insights and truths oftheir religion meaningful and more significant for thecontemporary world. The présence of télévision lights andcaméras at certain of the public sessions was symbolic ofthe tension between the old and the new.A Protestant observer also had an opportunity at firsthand to witness at a new depth and intensity certain formsof Roman spirituality. To be sure, thèse forms were notentirely new to him, but nowhere in his expérience hadhe encountered them in such a concentrated way. Thespécial forms of Roman spirituality were exemplified bythe Mass, by the reciting of the Breviary, by the présenceof large numbers of men who exemplified the so-callédevangelical Councils — the life of poverty, celibacy, andobédience. Ail of thèse surrounded the Protestant observeron every side. Each session was opened by Mass; fre-quently one of the Eastern rites was employed. As aconséquence, Protestant observers probably participatedin more Masses during their sessions in the Council thanthey had experienced in the past ten years. It was aPEBRUARY, 1965 THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINE 7healthy reminder to ail observers concerning the centralityand rôle of the Mass in the life of Catholic piety.Perhaps one of the most impressive and intriguingthings about the Council was the dynamics and procéduresof the Council itself. One had the strange f eeling that whatwas happening on the floor, though of importance, wasnot the true center of Council proceedings and develop-ments. This is true of any great deliberative gathering,but it seemed to be especially true in the case of theCouncil. How is it possible for more than two-thousandChurch Fathers to debate theological issues leading tosome kind of conclusion? The procédures under whichthe Council operated remained a mystery to most of theobservers up to the very end. In fact, it was difficult tofind Catholic experts to explain the procédures adequately.One word symbolized the sentiment of many of the observers — cumbersome. Procédures seemed to move be-tween a group of four Cardinal Moderators, a table oftwelve Cardinal Présidents presided over by CardinalTisserant, and an Executive Secretary, Monsignor Felici.Meanwhile, material was flowing in and out of the variouscommissions through the hands of the Secretary of theCouncil to that of the Moderator and Présidents, whilethe interventions from the various bishops were beingdelivered from the floor. Even though each speech- — intervention — was supposed to be made in behalf of seventy oreighty Church Fathers, it is difficult to détermine howactual theological discussion could occur in the présenceof several thousand bishops. Obviously, most if it occurredin the various commissions dealing with the différentissues brought before the gênerai sessions.There is no denying that the Council itself is an ex-ceedingly complex, and in some sensé, a cumbersomeopération. It is because of this that one is struck by theprogress and accomplishments of this assembly throughits first three sessions. However cumbersome and howevercomplex, the Council continued to move at a slow butsteady pace. The third session saw the passage and promulgation of two major schéma, the one On the Churchand the other On Ecumenicity.Both of thèse are basic documents in the history of theChristian Church, and their passage attests both to tbeingenuity and the détermination of the Church Fathersto work through the procédures and the dynamics of theCouncil which are in a sensé unavoidable. This situationalso provided some of the most interesting moments foreveryone attending the Council. Rumors as to maneuver-ing and possible conclusions were constantly flowingthrough the Council. Everyone was engaged in the seriousgame of trying to figure out who was doing what in theeventual outcome of a particularly important question.The rumors and counter-rumors provided an ecclesiastical"cloak and dagger" atmosphère which ail found most intriguing. This in no sensé distracts from the seriousnessof the occasion; it is only a reminder that even the highestecclesiastical achievements are based on human activity,even activity under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit.AH Protestant observers shared one reaction. Theirtreatment by the Roman Catholic Church not only leftabsolutely nothing to be desired, but went beyond their fondest anticipations. The officiai host for the observerswas the Secrétariat for Unity under the chairmanship 0fCardinal Bea, and under the direction of MonsignorWillebrands of Holland. One of the hardest working co.ordinators was a young Paulist father, originally fromMilwaukee, Father Thomas Stranski. Thèse men, alon»with the entire staff of the Secrétariat for Unity, providedevery conceivable facility and comfort for the observers.Far beyond that was the spirit of love and brotherhoodwith which the observers were accepted by the RomanCatholic Church. Almost every evening found the observers involved in discussions and dialogue with variousRoman Catholic theologians, bishops, or religious orders.This observer found. a gracious and warm welcome fromLeon-Josef Cardinal Suënens, one of the four CardinalModerators- and -à renowned spokesman for the progrès-8 THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINE FEBRUARY, 1965gjves. Last spring he was Thomas Lecturer at the University of Chicago and led an exciting two-day dialoguewith Roman Catholic and Protestant theologians andtheological students. Two week-ends were spent discussingmajor Council issues with him.The observers were not there simply to sit and observe.Their opinion on a wide variety of matters was eagerlysought and discussion was promoted on ail key issues. InPope Paul VI saying Massaddition to the Papal audience for the observers and theconstant référence to the observers in the various adresses of the Pope and of the Church Fathers, Paul VIalways made a spécial gesture of welcome directly to theobservers whenever he made his appearance in the Council sessions. The manner of the acceptance made absolutelyclear the nature and the level of the ecumenical encounterand dialogue that was intended by the Roman Catholic Church. This was to be neither a stage of "psychologicalwarfare," nor a "sentimental acceptance." It was intendedin charity to provide an encounter in depth in order thateach might learn from the other a f uller measure of under-standing and appréciation. Thus it engendered a new respect for and concern for each other.Ail observers go to the Council looking for certainparticular things and especially interested in several keyissues. Most American observers, along with the gêneraiAmerican public, were interested primarily in two issues.First, ail Americans, whether Roman Catholic or Protestant, were deeply interested in the religious liberty state-ment. This was inévitable. It is the American scène whichfirst produced the situation of séparation between churchand state and the promulgation of religious liberty. Fur-thermore, it is in such a context that both the Protestantand the Roman Catholic churches hâve flourished soabundantly over the past one hundred years. Just as theestablishment of religion is the context in which EuropeanChristians hâve lived for many centuries, so the contextof religious liberty has been and is now the only milieuwhich makes up the self-consciousness of the Christiancommunity, both Protestant and Roman Catholic inAmerica.But the question is more than that of an environmentor milieu for Christians in America. Both hâve corne tobelieve that religious liberty is the only possible way forthe Christian community to exist and carry out its task.This fact is just beginning to make its full impact on therest of the Christian community throughout the worldas it begins to see the implications of the lack of religiousliberty in a non-democratic world. The Church cannotdeny religious liberty in one situation and expect it foritself in another situation. Thus the attention of the wholeAmerican world was firmly fixed on this one issue.The second issue in which Americans hâve shown particular interest is that of the statement on the Jews. Largenumbers of Christians in the American scène hâve becomesensitive, in récent years, to the gross injustices perpe-trated upon their Jewish brethren. Furthermore, they hâvelived now for many years in friendship, peace, and har-mony with their Jewish brethren under the conditions ofreligious liberty. They hâve been helped by the Jewishcommunity to note certain tendencies and teachings with-in Christianity that hâve eventuated, at times, in an un justpersécution of the Jewish people. The Christian community bears a heavy responsibility in relation to the persécution of the Jews over the past centuries. Thus itwas imperative that the Roman Catholic Church, speakingin behalf of the entire Christian community, make a clearringing statement on the Jews, particularly in relationto the question of the Crucifixion.It is understandable that the American public, bothecclesiastical and gênerai, would be deeply interested inthèse two issues. Nevertheless, thèse were not and are notthe central issues and problems of the Council itself. Theirimportance, though not to be denied, can only be under-stood properly when seen in the context of certain othermore fundamental issues and problems. The centralschéma for the entire Council, and certainly for the his-tory of the Christian church, is that entitled De Ecclesia,FEBRUARY, 1965 THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINE 9"on the church," or "concerning the church." This schémawas debated throughout the first two sessions and thefirst half of the third session, and was finally passed bythe Council and promulgated by the Pope at the conclusion of the third session. Its importance is difficult tomeasure.It has been pointed out that Vatican II, in a sensé, seeksto complète the work started by Vatican I, over ninetyyears ago. If the first Vatican Council made clear thepower and the rôle of the Papacy, it did not touch on thepower and the rôle of the bishops. The intention of thefirst Vatican Council was to deal both with the rôle of thePapacy and that of the bishops, but a variety of factorsmade it impossible for that Council to complète its work.Thus, it was inévitable that the second Vatican Councilpick up this extremely important question.The problem was not to undercut or to deny the powerand the rôle of the Papacy as defined by Vatican I; butrather to work out the conséquent rôle, function andpower of the bishops along with, and under the Papacy.Until this was made clear, the church was not free toact fully and completely in light of her own true natureand structure. Furthermore, it was a real question as tothe possibility and form of the church's self-renewal with-out the central rôle and participation of the bishops.Whatever the power of the Pope, the day-to-day administration and activity of the church rests ultimately in thehands of the bishops in their local diocèses. They aloneare in personal contact with the key issues, problems,and resources in their own area. They represent, in aspécial way, the concerns and insights of the Christianpeople throughout the world. Thus for the Church tocarry through a program of renewal and reformation,it was necessary that the bishops, in concert with the Pope,carry through the program of renewal. As the world'spopulation expanded, as new nations hâve corne into existence, as the technological âge has increased the corn-plexity and the tempo of life, it became increasinglyévident that the Church would hâve to employ fully thecounsel, guidance, and insight of those men most activelyinvolved in administering this new situation. Finally, thequestion of the rôle, rights, and the power of the bishopsalong with the Pope is a fundamental question for theRoman Catholic Church as it confronts separated brethren. This is true both for the relations of the RomanCatholic Church with the Protestants, and equally truefor its relations with the Eastern Orthodox Churches.Thus it is évident that of the many things dealt with inthe Council the statement on the church is most importantof ail.The essence of this issue quickly became summarizedin the term "collegiality." Does the Roman Pontiff rulecompletely alone or does he rule from in the midst ofhis bishops which together with him make up a "col-legium?" In the Council discussions, there was a small,vocal minority that insisted that the bishops dérive theirpower and their functions from the Pope and not fromthe apostles. They contended that the first apostles derivedtheir power and function from Christ through St. Peter.Such a view is intended to enhance and to strengthen theabsolute monarchial power of the Pope which is in no sensé correlated with or coordinated with the rôle andfunction of the Bishops.The other view argued that the Gospels hâve madeclear that Peter and the other apostles constitute a singleapostolic collège, though Peter plays a spécial rôle as theVicar of Christ on earth. From this point of view, theRoman Pontiff is the direct successor of Peter and thebishops are the direct successors of the apostles, and bothare joined together in a single apostolic collège. Thiscollège or body of bishops has no authority in itself, butit does hâve authority when understood to work alongwith the Roman Pontiff.This entire issue is handled in détail in chapter threeof the schéma On the Church, in paragraph twenty-two.The schéma was not passed without difficulty. In additionto the modi — minor modifications that are usually passedalong with the various schéma — an additional action wasrequired to get through De Ecclesia. A spécial explana-tory note had to be drawn up in order to get a maximalconsent for the statement On the Church. This explana-tion is a masterpiece of ingenuity. It can be interpretedin such a way that it pleases the most conservative, andyet at the same time appears satisfactory to those whowish the most progressive interprétation of collegiality,Once the explanation was adopted there was no questionthat the overwhelming majority of the Fathers would ap-prove the statement On the Church, including that oncollegiality.Several things should be remembered at this point.First of ail, if past history proves any guide, the schémaitself will be of much greater importance than either theminor modifications or the explanation adopted. Second-ly, it will not be the modi or the explanation that willfinally interpret the meaning of the statement On theChurch, but the concept of collegiality contained withinit. The content, intent, and meaning of the statement willbe actualized in concrète events in history. The schémamade clear the fact that the bishops do not dérive theirpower and authority from the Pope, but they inherit thisas successors of the apostles themselves.It still has to be determined exactly how the bishopswill exercise their power along with, and under that ofthe Pope. Their rôle in the actual rule of the Church isnot yet clear. Thèse things will be determined only as theChurch concretely confronts various issues and problemsand then acts in relation to them. In his concluding statement to the third session of the Council, Paul VI madeclear that he was searching for ways to actualize this con-tinuing rôle of the bishops along with the Pontiff. Themajor obstacle to the actualization of the function of thebishops is the Curia. History appears to be on the sideof the bishops. The Curia simply is not in position tounderstand the complexities and problems of the Churchthroughout the world. Furthermore, it is not in positionto carry through and actualize, in local situations withnecessary adaptations, the décisions either of the Popeor of the Church at large. The sooner collegiality canreceive an adéquate form to express its true nature andactivity in the modem world, the better it will be forboth the Church and for the world itself.It is only in light of the expectations aroused by the10 THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINE FEBRUARY, 1965discussions, debate, and passage of De Ecclesia that onecan account for the frustration and even resentment thatwas encountered in the fateful, final forty-eight hours ofthe third session. This week is frequently referred to byCatholic participants as "passion week." One must handlethe events of thèse two days with the greatest care anddelicacy. Two temptations confronted the observer: eitherhe might wish to discount the events of the final forty-eight hours as of no conséquence because the religiousPope Paul VI receives Professor«berty document will be passed next year anyway; or,he might feel that the final forty-eight hours represents'he complète répudiation of the intent and achievement"f the bishops, both in the schéma On the Church and'he schéma On Ecumenicity. In this view, the effort atrenewal and the achievement of collegiality appear to beaU but destroyed before they are even on their way.As an observer, I cannot subscribe to either of thèsetwo views. I think it is important to note that one of the°asic reasons accounting for the frustration of the final forty-eight hours rests in the fact of the achievements ofthe two key schéma. Their adoption provides the contextin which one interprets the closing struggles. The fightover the possible adoption of an initial text on religiousliberty caught the public eye and symbolized the questionas just pointed out. The vast majority of the Fathers andail of the observers were confident that an initial text onreligious liberty would be adopted, and that hopefullythe initial text for a statement on the Jews would likewisebe adopted. The latter was achieved with no difficulty;the former was completely stymied.Several things should be pointed out. The Italian con-servatives completely outmaneuvered the American bishops in this particular afïair. As an observer, I cannotavoid remarking that our American bishops, born andbred in a démocratie political situation where they hâveoften proved themselves master politicians, were never-theless no match for the Italians. This is understandable.The Italian clergy, particularly the Curia, hâve playedBrauer and other Council observersPEBRUARY, 1965 THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINE 11the garne for centuries. They are adept and skilled. Ifthe Americans would carry into the Vatican context thepolitical adeptness developed in American ward politics,such events would either not occur or would not occurwith ease. There is nothing to be ashamed of in transfer-ring such know-how into Vatican politics. This is neithernon-spiritual nor unchristian. Whenever a deliberativebody opérâtes through political maneuvering, and ailsuch bodies must so operate: then it is necessary to useail of the acumen, shrewdness, and insight that is legallypossible under the rules operative. It is both a questionof knowing and observing the rules, and of functioningwith the greatest skill under them. The Vatican Councildoes not operate under Robert's Rules of Order; it hasits own rules. But granted those rules, this observer isconvinced that the American Catholic brethren will neveragain be caught off guard as they were in the religiousliberty situation. Incidentally, ail Americans présent, par-ticularly those of us from Chicago, were both proud andpleased at the conduct and effectiveness of Cardinal Meyerof Chicago. Contrary to the description, "The Cardinalwas livid with rage," used by one public press organi-zation, he was rightfully indignant but fully in commandboth of himself and the situation the moment it becameévident to him and his colleagues. The efficiency anddispatch with which the Americans reacted to their de-feat helped assuage many feelings though it did notachieve its intended goal. This observer's impression isthat the Americans learned a hard lesson and learned itwell.The events of thèse last two days are important pri-marily in that they point to the basic issue of collegialityand the rôle of the Pope. Everyone came away asking onebasic question. Did the Pope's action during the fatefulforty-eight hours demonstrate that he was fearful of theconséquences of collegiality and tended to side with theless progressive éléments of the Council, if not with theconservatives themselves? Much of the public press anda number of the Protestant observers hâve corne to thisconclusion. They base their estimation on three keyevents occurring on Thursday and Friday of the finalweek.First, when the Cardinal Présidents overruled the intentof the Fathers to vote on an initial text to be accepted asthe basis for discussion of religious liberty, the Pope up-held the décision of Cardinal Tisserant, the chairman ofthe Council Présidents. Ostensibly, the défense was thatthe Pope did not wish to interfère in rules and procéduresof the Council. Many men felt that though this was tech-nically correct, it was upholding the letter of the lawagainst the spirit and intent both of the rules and of theconsensus of the Fathers présent.The second event was the way in which the Popeexercised his proper right to introduce nineteen modifications into the final text of the schéma On Ecumenicityafter the schéma had been officially adopted by theFathers. It was felt this could hâve been done during thediscussions themselves and the Fathers could hâve votedon a text that met the approval of the Pope. In addition,one of the modifications introduced a totally différent12 THE UNIVERSITY OF meaning into a statement concerning what separatedbrethren discover when they read scriptures. The firstreading asserted that the separated brethren find God.The Pope's amendment stated that they only search fotGod in the reading of Scriptures.The third event that caused consternation among muchof the press and among some of the observers was theaction of the Pope on the final Saturday afternoon inproclaiming Mary the Mother of the Church. This, inspite of the fact that the Fathers, in adopting the chapteBon Mary within the schéma On the Church, did notchoose to use this particular title. When one adds together thèse three events, ail coming within forty-eigWhours, one can see why many people were disappointwwith the actions of Paul VI.Such a reading of the events seems an oversimplifica'CHICAGO MAGAZINE FEBRUARY, 19*tJ0n t(l this observer. One does not hâve to explain awaythèse events in order to give a différent interprétation tothein. R is indeed unfortunate that the Pope chose to actin this way in at least two of thèse cases, but it is certainlyn0t disastrous. In the case of his refusai to uphold apétition of almost one-thousand bishops that the Fathershe allowed to vote on whether they thought they hadThe Vaticansufficient time to adopt an initial religious liberty text,a number of factors hâve to be considered. It is possiblethat the Cardinal Président simply blundered in thissituation, whether through inadvertence or through prématuré collapse in the face of conservative pressure.In any case, the Pope would certainly think twicebefore overriding the action of the presiding Président,Cardinal Tisserant. On the other harid, one is temptedto speculate why it was that the religious liberty state ment was blocked in this session whereas the statementon the Jews, expected to generate the greatest opposition,passed so easily as part of the statement on other religions.One does not know how thèse things corne to be; onecan only ask questions or guess. The fact is that one ofthe two statements so dear to the hearts of Americansand of the progressives was actually passed as an initialtext. The other was not. The one thing clear is that PaulVI was not prepared to override the judgment of theCardinal Présidents whatever the procédure used inarriving at that judgment.Obviously, the Pope was prepared to go along withthe strong statement on religious liberty just as he provedhimself prepared to go along with a strong statementon the Jews. If a criticism were to be leveled, it wouldhâve to be somewhat along thèse lines: the Pope couldhâve ruled that the laws under which the Council opérâtes permit the Presidency to make the kind of rulingit made; however, the procédure used by the Présidentin arriving at such a ruling was sufficiently open toquestion, and the sentiment of the vast majority of theFathers was so openly known, that the Pope had cleargrounds for reversing the décision. The décision, afterail, was itself a reversai of a décision of the previousday. From this point of view, it is unfortunate that thePope did not act along with the bishops. Had he soacted the world would hâve witnessed a genuine collégialact in which bishops had the opportunity to make knowntheir judgment on this important affair. After ail, theywere not voting on the final adoption of a schéma butonly on the acceptance of an initial text for discussion;so, the conservatives had further opportunity to propose modifications or even explanations. The criticismis only that the Pope acted correctly in a légal sensébut did not exercise his freedom to move forward beyond the légal into the new epoch of collegiality. It isapparent that he did not choose this time or this eventto make such a move, but it does not prove that he isopposed to making spécifie and concrète the collegialitywith which he agrées, as it is promulgated in the schéma,On the Church.The second event, involving the nineteen amendments,does not hâve to be explained this way but can certainlybe understood in light of the crush of the final two orthree days' events. It is unfortunate that the Pope didnot get his modifications of the text into the hands ofthe Fathers before the final vote. It is conceivable thatit was impossible to do so in time. A number of explanations hâve been given for the changed wording inchapter twenty-two on dévotion to Holy Scripture. Noneof the explanations thus far given prove satisfactory tothis Protestant observer. On the other hand, if that statement is not read in isolation from the entire schéma,then the change does not look so drastic. After ail, theschéma On Ecumenicity speaks not simply of individualseparated brethren, but speaks also of their churches asecclesiastical communities and as churches having muchof the substance of Christianity within them. This, initself, represents a vast step forward by the RomanCatholic Church and certainly expresses the intent ofJohn XXIII.FEBRUARY, 1965 THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINE 13With regard to the Pope's act in proclaiming Marythe Mother of the Church on the day after the Councilconcluded, it is not necessary to interpret this as arépudiation of the progressive position and a reassertionof the conservative point of view, or as the répudiationof the collegiality principle. The debates on the chapterson Mary indicated to this observer that if an actualcount would hâve been taken among the Fathers présent,the term itself might hâve been adopted in the schéma.In fact, this observer is curious why the statement onMary in the schéma was not actually stronger than itturned out to be. As an observer, I am pleased that itwas not stronger; nevertheless, the sentiment of the col-legium of bishops appeared to be for a stronger statement rather than a weaker one.In this case, matters appear to hâve turned out wellfor ail sides involved. The technical phrase, "Mary,Mother of the Church," does not appear in the dogmaticstatement of the schéma but only in a liturgical settingas proclaimed by the Pope. AU segments of opinionreceived what they wanted. The progressive wing didnot hâve to accept it in the dogmatic statement, but thevast majority of the Fathers got what they wanted inthe statement within a liturgical setting. Perhaps thiswas an admirable compromise that once again carriedthe vast majority of the Fathers for a schéma. Thus,this observer does not see how one can make an un-ambiguous judgment that the act of the Pope was aflaunting of the concerns of the majority of the bishopsand thus of the concept of collegiality.Ail of us wonder about the rôle of the présent Pope.Clearly he is not John XXIII, and it is unfair to expecthim to be like John. It is the impression of this observerthat, on the whole, Paul VI in sentiment and tendencyis progressive; however, he is very self-conscious of hisheavy responsibility as successor of Peter. It is a difficulttask to bring the church slowly along its path of renewaland into a rediscovery of some of its ancient truths mademeaningful for this epoch. It is understandable that hefunctions somewhat enigmatically under thèse circum-stances. He appears to believe in collegiality with fullsincerity, but he is not yet clear how or at what particularpoints he will take the leadership to actualize collegiality.That he will do so is clear. But he wishes to do it insuch a way that he aliénâtes nobody, or as few as possibleand in such a way that they can be reconciled.He is moving forward very slowly, but he is moving.It is beside the point to say that John would hâve acteddifferently. John was called to do one task; Paul VI iscalled to do another task. His is the responsibility of agreat régime. He has the opportunity to make décisionsthat will actualize the principle of collegiality in sucha way that the renewal of the Church will be hastenedand strengthened. He must be fully aware of thèse factsand equally aware of the danger that accompanies theopportunity. Only the future will tell if he is equal tothe task. It is too early to make a judgment. Thus far,most observers feel that he tends to be too cautious andthat he has not seized some of the best opportunitiespresented him. The Pope's eagerness to travel is both a good andyet a dangerous thing. It is good in that it allows himto symbolize before the whole world the new stanceof the Roman Catholic Church. Furthermore, it is espe.cially good because it exposes him to a new level ofexpérience and a new degree of awareness of the world'sproblems. Thus it better equips him to lead the churchmore faithfully and more fully. At the same time, itcould be a danger. That is, if he chooses to exercisehis Papacy primarily through this type of public actionhe could continue to avoid making the décisions sonecessary to actualize collegiality. The public success ofhis activities could also distract criticism if he fails toact on collegiality and ecumencity at certain key moments.Thus the new openness to travel does not in itself assurethe continuing path of renewal and ecumenicity. It onlyprésents the Church and the Pope with a new andwonderful opportunity.In the light of the activities of the final two daysand the activities of Paul VI, a final question confrontsail observers. Is renewal actually on the way in theRoman Catholic Church? It is the considered judgmentof this observer that renewal is on the way both at adepth and a speed that he did not think possible. Agathering of the bishops from ail over the world hasbrought to the Roman Catholic Church a new sensé ofits strength, its potentiality, and its opportunity. Thebishops themselves sensé this as they grow to know eachother and their responsibilities along with the Pope.John XXIII opened doors and Windows than can neveragain be closed. He has brought the Church into themiddle of the 20th Century. It cannot now reverse gearswithout being untrue to itself, its nature, and its task.The torch of leadership has passed to a new génération of bishops and theologians. Theologians who weresuspect one décade ago are now the leading theologiansat the Council and in the Roman Catholic Church. Renewal is neither a passing fancy nor a psychologicaltrick to capture the Protestants and overwhelm theworld. It is a genuine expression of vitality within theRoman Catholic Church that cannot and ought not tobe quenched. It will move ahead in ways that even theChurch Fathers cannot plan or dream. They should notbe surprised because they profess belief in the guidanceof the Holy Spirit, which has always led the Churchinto opportunities and sacrifices neither sought nor evenunderstood. A new spirit is abroad in the Roman Catholic Church. This fact must be recognized by RomanCatholics, Protestants, the Orthodox, and by the world.Probably we ail will be equally surprised at its extentand conséquences.A second concluding observation is that Protestantsshould not expect this renewal, ecumenicity, and the dialogue to occur in certain set patterns. Unfortunately,many Protestants expect that the Roman Catholic Churchthrough the Vatican Council ought to become more likeProtestant churches or at least function in the processof renewal like Protestant churches. This is impossible.At this moment in history, Protestants cannot expect theRoman Catholic Church to become like Protestantism14 THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINE FEBRUARY, 1965n0r can Roman Catholics expect the Protestant churchesj0 joyously leap back into the arms of Roman Catholicism. We are at that stage of history where both of usare just beginning to respect, honor, understand andeven love each other. This is only the first stage. Nobodyknows where it will lead; we should not ask. There aresome things that it is better to let God worry about.We Protestants must expect Roman Catholicism to gothrough renewal on its own terms, indigenous to its ownnature, and reflecting its own history. We must see this reality. By contemporary, or by Protestant standards,the Church may appear to be moving slowly; by its ownhistorical standards it is moving at jet speed.The fourth session might not measure up to the con-cluding days of the third session as to the élémentsof drama and crises. Nevertheless, some of the key issuesstill remain before the Council. Questions such as therelation of the Church to the world, the nature of mar-riage, the problem of birth control, the éducation of thepriesthood, the rôle of religious orders, the problems ofPope Paul VIfrom a historical as well as from a theological perspective.Roman Catholicism will never change by leaping out ofits own past. It has its own rhythm and genius of renewal. Today we are witnessing this with our own eyes.An observer should seek to judge from this perspective.One must grant the nature and the history of the RomanCatholic Church as an institution as the framework withinwhich renewal and ecumenicity occurs. From this perspective, vast advances hâve been made in a very shorttime. Five years ago documents such as On the Churchand On Ecumenicity were unthinkable. Today they are war and poverty, the question of religious liberty, andthe schéma on the other religions — ail of thèse remain tobe treated in the fourth session of Vatican II. Certainly,there may be unexpected conclusions in a variety ofthèse areas. We are living in an era of vast political,economical, technological, and sociological change, anepoch of drastic change. The Second Vatican Councilis an extremely interesting and exciting documentationof that fact. Ail men of culture, good will, and of deepconcern for humanity, welcome it and seek to understand it.

Udall, who presented theUniversity with a National Landmark plaque, to beplaced beside the famous original plaque which pres-ently marks the site. Warren C. Johnson, Professor ofChemistry and Vice-Président for Spécial ScientificAffairs, accepted the plaque and scroll of désignationfor the University.On the tenth anniversary of the first chain reaction,a bronze plaque was placed at the west stands site,which reads: On December 2, 1942, Man AchievedHère the First Self-Sustaining Chain Reaction andThereby Initiated the Controlled Release of NuclearEnergy. When the West Stands were demolished, because changes made in it during its wartime use for avariety of experiments had made it structurally un-sound, the plaque was affixed to the fence on the westside of the field. Surveys were made at the time ofdémolition to fix the exact boundaries of the firstatomic pile. Plans are in progress for a more substan-tial mémorial, with the intent of possible dedication onthe twenty-fifth anniversary, in 1967.18 THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINE FEBRUARY, 1965by Norman J. KantorThe Voice HeardOn December 2, 1942, when Enrico Fermi and hiscolleagues at the University of Chicago achieved thefirst controlled release of atomic energy, they simul-taneously unleashed a new, perhaps less easily controlled force into world politics. It soon became apparent to the nation's scientists that an enormous effortwould be necessary to make people understand that,for better or worse, the world had been wholly trans-formed.With this objective in mind, they began to cornetogether in societies across the country to recognizetheir new and urgent responsibilities. One such organ-ization, the Atomic Scientists of Chicago, initiated anewsletter in December of 1945 called the Bulletin ofthe Atomic Scientists, and they subsequently chose forits symbol the now-famous clock with its hands frozenonly minutes before the hour of midnight.The original co-editors of the Bulletin were EugèneRabinowitch and the late Hyman H. Goldsmith, twomembers of the University of Chicago's MetallurgicalProject, the code name for the University's part ofthe Manhattan Project for the création of the atomicbomb. "One purpose," say Dr. Rabinowitch and thelate Morton Grodzins, University of Chicago politicalscientist, in their introduction to The Atomic Age,a collection of the foremost articles from the Bulletinup to 1962, "was to make fellow scientists aware oftne new relationship between their own world ofscience and the world of international politics." The°ther purpose "was to help the public understandwnat nuclear energy and its application to war meant«>r mankind. It was anticipated that the atomic bombwould be only the first of many dangerous présentsfrom Pandora's box of modem science. Consequently,'t Was clear that the éducation of man to the realities°t the scientific âge would be a long, sustained effort." Bulletin«ntomicScientists'Round the WorldCalled by the St. Louis Post Dispatch "The onemagazine whose voice is heard 'round the world,"the Bulletin has grown from a six-page newsletterto the leading international forum on the impactof science on society in the atomic âge. Time hassaid of it that "The Bulletins 27,500 subscribers girdlethe globe . . . and they can muster more scientific,diplomatie, and statesmanship credentials than anyworld conférence in Geneva."Dating from its earlier issues, a clock— the "clockof doom"— appeared with great frequency on thecovers of the Bulletin. It first appeared in June 1947,when the United States alone had the atomic bomb,its hands set at eight minutes to midnight. In JulyPEBRUARY, 1965 THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINE 19The Emergency Committee of Atomic Scientists, from left to right: Harold C. Urey,University of California at San Diego, AlbertEinstein (1879-1955), Selig Hecht (died in1947); rear: Victor Weisskopf, Director-Gen-eral, CERN (European Organization for Nuclear Research), Geneva, Switzerland, LéoSzilard (1898-1964), Hans Bethe, Director,Laboratory of Nuclear Studies, Cornell University, Thorfin Hogness, Professor EmeritusDepartment of Chemistry, Çniversity of Chicago, Phillip Morse, Massachusetts Instituteof Technology.1947, editor Rabinowitch wrote of the new clock:"This symbol of urgency well represents the state ofmind of those whose closeness to the development ofatomic energy does not permit them to forget thattheir lives and those of their children, the security oftheir country, and the survival of civilization, ail hangin the balance as long as the spectre of atomic warhas not been exorcised."In the twenty years since the initiation of the Bulletin, the hands of the clock hâve been moved onlyfour times: forward to three minutes to midnight inOctober 1949 after the explosion of the first Russianatomic device, and again forward, in September 1953,to two minutes to midnight with the development,by both the United States and the USSR, of the hy-drogen bomb. The third move was made in January1960, when the hands of the Bulletins clock were, forthe first time, moved back— to seven minutes to midnight— because of the observation that, in the 15 yearsof the Bulletins existence, public and governmentalopinion everywhere had begun to appreciate the rev-olutionary conséquences of the discovery of nuclearenergy, thus erecting a psychological barrier that madethe unleashing of the destructive power of the atommore difficult— but still, by implication, not impossible.As Dr. Rabinowitch then wrote: "We want to expressin this move our belief that a new cohesive force hasentered the interplay of forces shaping the fate ofmankind, and is making the future of man a littleless foreboding."In November 1961, because of the exacerbation ofthe Berlin crisis, many readers asked whether the clockshould not again be moved forward. But the handsremained still. Dr. Rabinowitch explained: "As long20 THE UNIVERSITY OF as world politics remain dominated by a power con-test, ail stability— even the stability of terror— is boufluto remain precarious . . . The Bulletins clock is nota gage to register the ups and downs of the inter.national power struggle; it is intended to reflect basicchanges in the level of continuous danger in whichmankind lives in the nuclear âge, and will continueliving, until society adjusts its basic attitudes and in.stitutions to the challenge of science." In October1963, with the signing by the U.S. and the USSBof the limited nuclear test-ban treaty, the hands ofthe clock were moved back to twelve minutes to midnight. There they hâve remained— in the Bulletin'ghope that mankind is moving, however slowly andfitfully, in the direction of international coopérationin the prévention of nuclear war and in the utiliza-tion of science and technology for the common benefitof mankind.The Bulletins early editorial purpose was to en-lighten public opinion on the implications of nuclearweapons. It contributed significantly toward the publicunderstanding of the destructive capabilities of thèseweapons. In the pages of the Bulletin, Léo Szilardfirst sparked the movement for the establishment ofcivilian control over atomic energy in America. Afterthe U.N. negotiations on international control of atomicenergy failed in 1948, the magazine helped to searchfor policies which could stop or at least mitigate thenuclear arms race. In the pages of the Bulletin Leg-horn first presented the idea of arms control andInglis first proposed the cessation of nuclear weaponstests as an initial step in a slowdown in the arms race.Louis Sohn's proposai for régional disarmament foundan early voice there, and in 1955 H. J. Muller openedthe discussion of radioactive contamination— a matterwhich had until then been kept secret. The Bulletincontributed in no small way to a reconsideration ofloyalty and security policies which were based on theunreasonable hopes of maintaining the nation's mon-opoly on atomic weapons through secrecy.

TheBulletin has become a leading voice in the worldcommunity, where international scientists, scholars,and statesmen on both sides of the iron curtain canfînd a libéral forum. Although originally inspired bymen in the natural sciences, today its contributors andfriends consist of editorial advisors and scholars fromthe humanities and social sciences as well.From 1945 to 1949 the Bulletin was published bythe Atomic Scientists of Chicago, and it was supportedin its early years by the Emergency Committee ofAtomic Scientists, headed by Albert Einstein. In1949 the publication was transferred to a speciallyconstituted Educational Foundation for Nuclear Science, Inc., consisting of twenty-six of the most prominent scientists in the nation (see box).After the death, in 1949, of Hyman H. Goldsmith,Dr. Rabinowitch has carried on as the chief editor.In 1947, he left the faculty of the University of Chicago to become professor of Botany and Biophysicsat the University of Illinois in Urbana. Dr. Rabinowitch has played a unique rôle as a kind of politicaljournalist extraordinaire within the scientific community. In 1945, he drafted most of the Franck Report, now remembered most of ail for expressing thedoubts of scientists on the wisdom of using the atomicbomb on Japan, but notable also as the first perceptive forecast of the gênerai implications of the release21DF CHICAGO MAGAZINERuth Adams, Managing Editorof atomic energy. Since 1957 he has been one of theprime movers in the organization of "COSWA" (Conférences on Science and World Affairs ) , widely knownas the Pugwash Conférences, bringing together scientists from East and West to discuss ways of diminishingthe menace of nuclear war by controlled disarmamentand coopérative use of science and technology forthe benefît of mankind. (Thirteen such conférenceshâve taken place from 1957 to 1964.)The Bulletins staff has always been drawn frompeople close to the University of Chicago. The managing editor, Mrs. Ruth Adams, is, in private life, thewife of Robert Adams, director of the Oriental Institute. The magazine's editorial board includes thenames of Robert Gomer, Alexander Langsdorf (hiswife, Martyl, a noted American artist, is the Bulletinsart editor), Hans Zeisel, Edward Shills, and DavidInglis. University faculty members frequently con-tribute to the pages of the Bulletin: Hans Morgenthau,Walter Johnson, George Beadle, Morton Grodzins,Morris Janowitz, John Platt, and Gilbert White, amongmany others.The University has steadfastly supported the Bulletin in providing free quarters and services, but itstill has been a wanderer of sorts along the Midway.Originally located in the Social Science Building, theBulletins meanderings hâve taken it to Ryerson andEckhart halls, and finally to its présent quarters onthe first floor of a cavernous old home— formerly thatof Laredo Taf t— on the corner of 60th Street and Ingle-side Avenue, adjacent to the Midway Studios.While the nuclear arms race, arms control, and disarmament were the Bulletins original concern, it earlyrecognized that the scientific révolution of our timehad affected society in many other important ways.1945 to 1963 were years when the rôle of scientists changed radically. They became a major forcein government as advisors and administrators. Asscience became more closely involved with the many22 THE UNIVERSITY OF new areas of government, so did the Bulletin expandits coverage to cover thèse new developments. In addition to its concentration on problems raised by thenew rôle of science in national affairs, the Bulletinvery early concerned itself with the many internationalimplications of the scientific révolution. The Bulletin'^interest has broadened to other aspects of humanexistence influenced by science and it is exploring awidening variety of subjects: technology's rôle in less-developed countries; energy and material resourcesfor man's future; the relationships between art andscience, religion and science, éducation and scienceand politics and science; exploration of the océans andof outer space; pollution of the air, water, and soil.Because of this broadening of subject matter, the sub-title "A Journal for Science and Public Affairs" nowmore adequately describes the purpose and contentof the Bulletin than does its main title.The révolution in national and international affairscaused by the accelerating progress of science hasgiven new importance to the facts and possibilités ofscience in practically ail areas of human endeavor.The pages of the Bulletin continue to mirror thèsenew developments, contributing to public knowledgeof the facts and public understanding of the implications of science for society, and stimulating the interestof scientists and scholars in thinking— and acting—in thèse increasingly important areas.

Three-quartersof the grant must be used to financefellowships for advanced studentswho hâve completed at least oneyear of graduate training. The re-maining twenty-five percent may beused any way the University wishesto advance graduate éducation.Warner A. Wick, Dean of Students, said: "If it had not been forthe Woodrow Wilson Foundation,graduate study in the humanitiesand social sciences would hâve suf-fered severely in the past ten years.The Foundation has made a greatcontribution."In addition to their outrightgrants to the University, the Foundation supports, by direct grants tothe individuals concerned, theWoodrow Wilson Fellows enrolledat the University during their firstyear of graduate study. The amountof a grant to the University in agiven year is determined by thenumber of Woodrow Wilson Fellows enrolled during the previousacadémie year, with $2,000 grantedfor each full fellowship. However,this "second year money" shouldnot necessarily be earmarked forWoodrow Wilson Fellows whostudy beyond the first year, accord-ing to Sir Hugh Taylor, Présidentof the Foundation. Sir Hugh says,"We believe that our former Fellows are well able to compete withail other advanced graduate students for the assistance made possible through thèse grants."Since 1958 the Foundation hasmade graduate éducation grants tothe University totaling $621,000.E.
