J. Mayo, M.D.Le girl's problem was diagnosed as an inter-ventricularseptal defect. In lay terms, there was a small hole betweenthe right and left pumping chambers of her heart, a hole thatseverely limited-and threatened=herlife. Her future restedwith a recently developed and highly delicate procedure:open heart surgery.In the operating room, a team of cardiovascular surgeonstook over. Her chest was opened and the pulsating sacwhich holds the heart was exposed. Catheters from the!heart-lung machine were inserted into her superior andinterior vena cava-the large veins which return blood tothe heart-and the machine began pumping oxygenatedblood through her body. Soon her heart and lungs wereindependent of her body, and the surgeons located the defectand sutured it shut. The chest cavity was closed.Not too long ago, a person with such a heart defect hadlittle hope for a normal life--or any life at all. Todaysophisticated surgery techniques have revolutionized healthcare and made it possible to save countless lives. The futureholds even greater promise.The University of Chicago plans to meet the challengesand the opportunities of the decades ahead by constructinga new building devoted to the patient care, research andteaching functions of the Department of Surgery. The six­story building will house temperature-controlled operatingsuites; highly specialized equipment for rieurosurgery, heartsurgery and other delicate operations; research laboratories;and teaching facilities.Modern surgical facilities are essential if the University isto. continue a tradition of outstanding patient care andscientific research-research which has brought Nobel Prizesto twenty-nine men connected with the University. Laureatesinclude Dr. Charles B. Huggins, professor of surgery anddirector of the Ben" May Laboratory for Cancer Research.Dr. Huggins shared the 1966 prize in Physiology and Medi­cine for developing a hormonal treatment for cancer of theprostate.2 Research efforts like those of Dr. Huggins must be carriedout in up-to-date facilities. Those presently available werefine when the Medical School opened. They are good today.But they are inadequate for the job ahead.Just what is the job ahead?Dr. Rene Menguy, chairman of the Department of Surgery,feels that one of the surgeon's greatest challenges lies in thearea of organ transplants."Kidney transplants are now a reality," he says, "and theday is not far off when we will be able to transplant livers,lungs, and hearts."The heart is a simple organ. It's really nothing more thana pump. With the surgical methods available, there are'fewlesions which can't be repaired. With the kidney and liverit is a different story. These are very complicated organs, andwhen they become severely diseased, replacement is man­datory."Replacement with artificial organs is a temporary solution.Once the "immunity barrier" is broken, replacement withorgans from fellow human beings will be the answer. Phy­sicians are not yet able to control the body mechanism whichrejects a foreign substance, making it difficult for a trans­planted organ to be accepted.Cancer represents another challenge. Right now surgeryis, in most instances, the only method of complete cure; itcures, for example, sixty per cent of those with cancer ofthe colon. But members of the Surgery Department are alsoinvestigating drugs which are capable of killing cancer cellsand which can be used as adjuncts to surgical removal. Theyare investigating the use of radioisotopes to diagnose andtreat some types of cancer. They are investigating ways totreat pain in patients with far-advanced cancer. Dr. SeanF. Mullan has developed a needle cordotomy-a relativelysimple procedure in which a needle is inserted into the spinalcord to destroy the fibers controlling pain. Patients from allover the country come to the University for this operation.Pediatric surgery, a new division in the Department, is stillanother major challenge. Dr. Mark Ravitch, one of threedistinguished pediatric surgeons to join the faculty this year,says:"In the area of cardiac surgery, the problem is to devisetechniques to correct serious malformations in the first fewFacing Page: A new anesthesiology machine in an operating room.weeks of life. The infant patient is so small that extraordinaryprecision is required with the heart-lung machine. And theheart itself is so tiny that the techniques of the operation areexceedingly difficult."And there will always be the child whose heart cannot berepaired. Thus pediatric surgeons, too, look to replacement-either with another heart or with a mechanical heart. Thisis a problem even more complicated in children than inadults. If a transplanted heart is used, will it grow to keepup with the demands of the growing child? If a substitutemechanical heart is used, will it be capable of increasing itswork as the patient grows?"Even when we know the operative treatment for a disease,heart or otherwise, in a newborn, the physiological care ofthat tiny patient may spell the difference between success andfailure," Dr. Ravitch says.Projects under investigation by the Department's pediatricsurgeons may provide some of the answers to this problem.Dr. Marc Rowe is studying response to shock, and tech­niques he develops may someday be applied to newbornbabies. Dr. Robert L. Replogle is interested in congenitalheart disease in children. He is investigating the effects ofblood viscosity on circulation, a study which can have im­portant implications for "blue babies." Dr. Ravitch is study­ing the nature of healing in the mammalian embryo, a studywhich may provide some answers on how specific abnormali­ties are produced.Other investigators in the Department are attempting toanswer these questions:What is the cause of peptic ulcer, a disease responsible for10,000 deaths a year in North America?How do the minute vessels of the skin react to plasticsurgery?What are better and safer methods of administering anes­thesia?What causes blindness and deafness, and how can they beprevented?How can surgery utilize mechanical devices=such as sta­plers-capable of rapid and safe suturing of tissues?Basic research-the single most important force behindmodem surgical advances-has always been a vital part ofthe Department's activities. Some of the more important dis­coveries include Dallas B. Phemister's identification of thecause of surgical shock and its successful treatment; J. Gar-4 rott Allen's development of a method for successfully storingblood plasma in blood banks; Alexis Carrel's pioneeringwork in vascular suturing and grafting of blood vessels; andLester B. Dragstedt's introduction of the vagotomy opera­tion in the treatment of peptic ulcer.Such developments are recent, but surgery itself goes backto the early days of man.The world's first "surgeon" was probably a prehistoric manwho picked up a polished stone "scalpel" to free the evilspirits from a neighbor's skull. Later a primitive form ofsurgery evolved to take care of man's most pressing needs:an abscessed tooth was removed, a wound was crudelydressed and sewn.During the growth of Western civilization, surgery flour­ished mainly in India and the Islamic lands. But in Europe,where the teaching of the Greek physician, Galen, prevailed,the surgical approach to a disease was considered unworthyof physicians, who had contempt for anything in the natureof handiwork.This attitude held through the Middle Ages. The barber­surgeons of that time played a minor role in medicine. Theywere not allowed to teach in the established medical schools,nor were they admitted to the learned medical societies.Under the influence of Ambroise Pare, Military Surgeonto King Francis II of France, surgery began to develop faster.During the next few centuries, its scientific foundation, prin­cipally anatomy and physiology, became firmer. The dis­covery of general anesthesia by William Morton and J. C.Warren in 1846 overcame a formidable barrier to progress.Then, in the later part. of the 19th Century, Louis Pasteurdiscovered the relationship of bacteria to infectious disease,and Joseph Lister introduced the antiseptic method of pre­venting infection. These discoveries allowed surgeons to en­ter portions of the human body previously inviolate becauseof the fear of infection.The first two-thirds of the 20th Century have witnessed arate of progress which can only be described as fantastic.The surgeon can reach and help to repair every tissue andorgan in the human body. Virtually all illnesses have beenlessened by the achievements of modern surgery. The im­provements in the surgical treatment of the wounded soldierprovide new techniques for treatment of tens of thousandsof civilians injured in the homes and on the highways.In the future, surgery will hold the key to a longer andhealthier lifespan for more and more individuals-and Chi­cago's Department of Surgery will remain in the forefrontof work leading toward this goal.Members of the staff devote full time to patient care, re­search, and teaching within the University's eleven hospitalsand clinics. They have no outside practice. The Universityof Chicago pioneered this concept of a full-time, salariedstaff of physicians and scientists. Dr. Menguy explains it thisway:"Traditionally, the teaching of surgery was done by physi­cians involved in private practices. They would devote Above: A wide-angle camera lens takes in an operation in progressat The University of Chicago Hospitals and Clinics. The new sur­gery building will have an ultra-modern operating room complex.several hours a week to their community's medical school.But with the increased complexity of medicine, one man wassimply unable to keep abreast of developments, carry outresearch, and teach, while actively engaged in a full-timepractice."The University felt that if an individual was able to devoteall his time to patient care, research, and teaching within one5Above: An artist's rendering of the proposed new surgery build­ing, looking west on 58th Street from the steps of the Adminis­tration Building. The street in the foreground is Ellis Avenue.institution, he would be able to do a better job."As a teacher of surgeons, the Department fills a three-foldfunction. Dr. Menguy says, "Our goal is to train surgeonsfor surgery, teaching, and research. We train the academical­ly oriented surgeon."It. is . a function which becomes more and more vital as theneed for teachers of surgery grows. A few decades ago, free­dom from disease and suffering was a luxury few couldafford; today it has become a right all demand and deserve.To meet this demand, medical schools are assuming a largerole in the training of qualified specialists. New medicalschools are being built, and, within the next decade, manyqualified individuals will be needed to staff their surgicalfacilities.The University of Chicago has always held a prominentposition in the training of teachers of surgery. At least forty­four surgeons who were residents or graduates of its MedicalSchool now head surgery departments or sections in schoolsthroughout the country.6 As a treatment center, the Department is pre-eminent.Patients with complicated surgical illnesses are sent herefrom the surrounding community and, indeed, from remoteareas of the world. For the seriously ill patient, the severestandards set by the surgeon-scientists at Chicago ensurethat each surgeon maintains the highest level of competencein his specialty.A new Surgery Building will enable the Department to im­prove its patient care, research and teaching efforts. Therewill be more laboratory space in which students and facultycan carry out research projects. There will be needed con­ference rooms and studies. And there will be modem operat­ing suites to make patient care easier and more efficient.The new building will also enable the Department to in­crease the size of the facutly. Dr. Menguy has already addedpediatric and plastic surgery to the Department with theappointments of Dr. Ravitch, Dr. Rowe, and Dr. Replogle,pediatric surgeons, and Dr. Harvey A. Zarem, plastic sur­geon. Other new faculty appointments include Dr. C. Fred­erick Kittle, thoracic and cardiovascular surgery; Dr. HarryJ. Lowe and Dr. James O. Elam, anesthesiology; and Dr.Frank P. Stuart, general surgery.The new building will allow the University to increase thesize and strength of all sections within the Department.An operating room complex and its supporting facilitieswill provide the finest patient care. This can be illustratedby following a hypothetical patient-we will call him Mr. X­through an operation for a brain tumor.Mr. X is wheeled into an operating room in which tempera­ture and humidity are strictly controlled. The air pressureis raised slightly to prevent the entry of bacteria-containingdust.This particular operating room contains all the facilitiesrequired for modern neurological surgery: its walls arescreened so that brain waves can be recorded without inter­ference by stray electrical noise; stereotactic equipment isavailable to locate lesions in the brain; and electronic devicesmeasure the patient's heart rate, respiration rate, and othervital functions.After the tumor is located, a piece of tissue is taken to thenearby Laboratory of Surgical Pathology. Within minutes,this laboratory can supply the surgeon. with vital informationabout that tissue.Following the operation, Mr. X is taken to a post-operativerecovery room. Electrodes are attached to his arms and legsto measure body functions. This information is relayed toa nursing station only a few feet from his bed. If anythinggoes wrong, the nurse will know in seconds and she, or theattending physician, will take immediate corrective steps.The operating room in which Mr. X's operation took placewas designed for neurosurgery. Other rooms will containhighly specialized equipment for operations on sensoryorgans, such as the eye and inner ear. Others will containelectronic equipment and heart-lung machines necessary foropen heart and other surgery. Some rooms will have x-raymachines to enable the surgeon to see various structures ofthe body during operations on the urogenital tract, theskeleton, and certain segments of the alimentary tract.Adjacent to the recovery room will be an intensive careunit, a concept which represents an important and recentadvance in patient recovery. It began with the realizationthat all surgical patients should not be treated alike. Re­sources that are vitally needed by some may be wasted onothers. For instance, a patient can usually walk and eat onthe evening following a hernia operation., But after an openheart operation, or a renal transplantation, or the removalof a brain tumor, survival depends upon the concentration of all available resources on that desperately ill person.Facilities planned in connection with the new SurgeryBuilding include approximately eighteen beds under closesurveillance.Electronic equipment will measure heart rate, electro­cardiogram, respiration rate, venous pressure, cardiac out­put, and blood-gas concentration. This information will berelayed to the nursing station. It is expected that computerswill store these measurements and supply them immediatelyon demand by the attending physician.The unit will be close to the post-anesthetic recovery roomto allow transfer of staff from one area to another, depend­ing on the demands of the moment.The remaining floors of the building will contain lab­oratories, which will be grouped according to variousdisciplines and specialties, so staff members can share ex­pensive equipment. There will be studies for senior investiga­tors, which will be placed near their research laboratories;small and large conference rooms, where _ faculty and stu­dents - can meet for informal teaching sessions; and studycubicles, which will be designed so that residents and traineeswill be close to the laboratory of their research director.Dr. Menguy concludes: "The University of Chicago has adistinguished reputation around the world as a center forexcellence in all pursuits. This includes surgery and medi­cine. The new building-added to exciting developments likethe Nobel Prize award to Dr. Huggins and several distin­guished additions to our faculty-will add immensely to ourstrength. "Dr. Clarence C. Reed of Los Angeles, a UC Medical schoolalumnus, has contributed $2,000,000 toward constructionof the $8,000,000 project. Government grants and matchingfunds are expected to total $2,000,000, leaving a gift needof $4,000.000.This gift is being sought during the University's $160,-000,000, three-year Campaign for Chicago, the first phaseof a ten-year effort to finance an improved research andeducational program.The surgery facility aims at providing the best possibleequipment and environment for the finest surgical practice,teaching, and research. This is not an inexpensive objective,but there can be few better investments, for the surgeon­scientists who work within the -building will help to shape amedical revolution which will touch the live of all of us. 07Emeritus WeekendThat age is no deterrent to a youthful outlook was evidentonce again at a special seminar attended by senior alumnifrom both coasts and ten states. The program, "Perspectiveson Living and Learning," was held on campus May 5-7 formembers of the Emeritus Club-alumni who graduated fiftyor more years ago.In addition to the events pictured here, emeriti heardCharles D. O'Connell, Director of Admissions and incomingDean of Students, with a panel of faculty members fromvarious disciplines, discuss students and student life todayand how it has changed. A bus tour brought the alumni upto date on the swiftly changing face of the University and itscommunity. And, at an evening session, emeriti saw anddiscussed the historical film, "The Idea," tracing the birthand growth of the University and the work of some of itsgreat men.Members of the planning committee for the weekend pro­gram were N ena Wilson Badenoch, Charles P. Schwartz,and Albert W. Sherer. The committee will continue to serveunder the new Emeritus Club president, Albert Pick, Jr.,who took office at the June 10 reunion.Right: President George W.

On May 5, a special Seventy-FifthAnniversary Convocation at Rockefeller Memorial Chapelhonored twenty-six of the world's most distinguished schol­ars and scientists.President George W. Beadle said: "The recipients werenamed after lengthy deliberation and review on the part ofthe University's faculties. We feel that, in thus inviting theirparticipation in the Anniversary celebration, the Universityreaffirms its faith in the highest standards of intellectualexcellence. "The twenty-six honorary degrees are the largest numberconferred since the University's Fiftieth Anniversary Con­vocation, when thirty-five were awarded. The first honorarydegree from the University, an LLD, was awarded to Presi­dent William McKinley on October 17, 1898. AnotherAmerican President, Theodore Roosevelt, was awarded anhonorary LLD on April 2, 1903. There have been twentyNobel laureates among the 287 recipients of honorarydegrees conferred since the University's founding in 1891.Recipients at the May 5 Convocation came from sevennations-Canada, England, France, Italy, Russia, Sweden,and the United States-and represented at least nineteenacademic disciplines.Nikolai Nikolaevich Bogolubov, Director of the JointInstitute of Nuclear Research at Dubna, U.S.S.R. (Doctorof Science). Bogolubov is one of the Soviet Union's leadingmathematical physicists. He was awarded the Lenin Prizein 1958 for his work in developing a new method in quan­tum field theory and statistical physics, which resulted inpartially substantiating the theories of superconductivity andsuperfluidity. He received the Stalin Prize in 1947.Noam Chomsky, the Ferrari P. Ward Professor of ModernLanguages and Linguistics, Massachusetts Institute ofTechnology (Doctor of Humane Letters). Chomsky hasrevolutionized contemporary thinking about grammar andis considered to be at present the person exercising the mostpowerful influence on the teaching of the nature of theEnglish language. His monograph, Syntactic Structures( 1957), has been described as the most important theoreti- cal work on linguistics to appear in nearly a quarter of acentury.Kenneth S. Cole, Senior Research Biophysicist, NationalInstitute of Neurological Diseases and Blindness, Bethesda,Maryland (Doctor of Science) . Cole is an undisputed leaderin the United States in the study of the electro-physiologyof excitable tissues. He was the first to record intracellularresting and the action potential of the squid axon fiber.With Marmont he developed the basis of applying andcontrolling changes in the membrane potential of the squidaxon so that membrane currents could be studied under avariety of conditions. His work at the Metallurgical Labora­tory during World War II produced much of the foundationfor present knowledge 'Of the bio-medical effects of radia­tion.Henry Clifford Darby, Professor of Geography, CambridgeUniversity, England (Doctor of Humane Letters). Darby'ssix major books are a significant contribution to the litera­ture of historical geography. Much of his worldwide reputa­tion is based 'On The Domesday Geography of England,'Of which he is both general editor and major contribu­tor. Four volumes of this work have appeared so far,furnishing many new insights into various topics in Englishgeography. Darby received the Daly Medal of the AmericanGeographical Society in 1963. He is a past president of theInstitute of British Geographers.Max Delbruck, Professor of Biology, California Instituteof Technology (Doctor of Science). Delbruck is the fatherof bacteriophage genetics. He generated most of the earlyideas and enthusiasm for a group which eventually includeda large fraction of molecular biologists. The kinetics ofprogeny phage production, the phenomenon of mutual ex­clusion of related particles, and the production of mutantsin phage are among the fruits of Delbruck's work with Luria(see below).Northrop Frye, Professor of English Literature and Prin­pal, Victoria College, University of Toronto (Doctor ofHumane Letters). Frye's influence has been widely felt ineducational circles as well as among literary critics. As acritic, he has the ability to perform in a wide variety of areasand to synthesize modes of criticism and place literary worksin context, In recent years, he has organized curricula forliterary study based on his critical principles. His works,Design for Learning (1962) and the Educated Imagination11( 1964), have become central to many of those who are nowreordering programs of instruction in literature in the UnitedStates and Canada.Murray Gell-Mann, Professor of Physics, California In­stitute of Technology (Doctor of Science). Gefl-Mann'swork has added new terms to the technical language ofphysics and germinated several new areas of research inboth theoretical and experimental physics. His work withGoldberger led to the Dispersion Theory, a modern form ofquantum field theory; his concept of "strangeness" ex­plained the stability of some then newly-discovered particles,predicting the manner in which they were subsequently dem­onstrated to occur; and his charge-conjugation of neutralparticles, an idea introduced (with Paris) in 1954, led todiscovery of a new particle, from which significant experi­mentation has arisen;Alfred Day Hershey, Director of the Genetics Unit, Car­negie Institution, Cold Springs Harbor, New York (Doctorof Science). Hershey discovered genetic recombination inbacteriophage. This made possible the study of fine struc­ture in the linear arrangements of genes at levels of discrim­ination hitherto impossible. Hershey also discovered thatthe nucleic acid, not the protein, of the bacteriophageentered infected bacteria. Thus it was demonstrated thatthe entire genetic information necessary to direct synthesisof a complete organism was contained in nucleic acidseparate from protein in at least one case.Gerhard Herzberg, Director of the Division of PurePhysics, National Research Council, Ottawa, Ontario,Canada (Doctor of Science). Herzberg is nne of the mostimportant figures in experimental molecular spectroscopy.He has employed the unambiguous quantitative power 'Ofspectroscopy in fields ranging from chemical thermodynamicsto astrophysics. Herzberg'S own work, as well as that hedirects at the Council, has come to define the center 'Of gravityof experimental spectroscopy. The group of which he is thenucleus is the world's center for molecular spectroscopy.Hajo Holborn, The Sterling Professor of History, YaleUniversity (Doctor of Humane Letters). Holborn isacknowledged to be a leading contemporary historian ofGermany. The third and final volume 'Of his History ofModem Germany, now nearly finished, will complete whathas been called "the best general history of Germany everwritten in any language." In an age of historiographical12 specialization, he has published exemplary works in avariety of fields. Holborn has made the philosophyof history a concern of th; discipline of history, as well asof philosophy.Torsten Husen, Professor and Head of the Department ofEducation and Institute for Educational Research, Univers­ity of Stockholm (Doctor of Laws). Husen is an eminentspecialist in educational research. His early work includeda comprehensive study of twins in Sweden, and of socialinfluences on educability. He was a pioneer in the nowwide-spread research on "reserves of talent." He was direc­tor of the research program of the Swedish governmentdesigned to guide the re-organization of the school systemin the 1950's, and he is now technical director of the twelve­nation achievement testing project, the first results of whichhave just been published.Har Gobind Khorana, Professor of Biochemistry, Institutefor Enzyme Research, the University of Wisconsin (Doctorof Science). Khorana's work has centered in the synthesisand degradation of peptides and phosphate esters. He hasdeveloped many new synthetic methods and from applica­tion of these has made discoveries which are of greatsignificance for biochemistry and genetics. His earliestwork with carbodiamides led to the present recognition 'Ofthese as among the most valuable reagents for the prepara­tion of peptides and phosphates.Harold D. Lasswell, The Edward J. Phelps Professor ofLaw and Political Science, Yale University (Doctor ofLaws). Lasswell, a political scientist and lay psychoanalystby formal training, stands as a pioneer in the process where­by the study of politics is being converted to a science ofsocial behavior. He has applied the medical sciences,especially psychoanalysis and depth psychology, to the studyof motivations underlying participation in politics, and hasopened up new channels in the development of a politicalscience based on rigorous interpretation of data. He hassought acceptance for weighting the understanding ofbehavior equally with the solution of social problems.Jean Leray, Professor of Mathematics, College de France,Paris (Doctor of Science). Leray is the world's principalexpert on hyperbolic partial differential equations. He wrotefundamental papers on the existence theorems for theequations hydro-dynamics and constructed most of theoriginal technical devices used in the radical transformationof algebraic topology after World War II. Leray inventedthe concepts of spectral sequence and of sheaf, the twochief tools of this development, and applied them for thefirst time in his work on the homology theory of fibre bund­les. Recently he has constructed remarkable theories ofpartial differential operators and of residues of functions ofseveral complex variables.Claude Levi-Strauss, Professor of Anthropology, Collegede France, Paris (Doctor of Science). Levi-Strauss hassought the determinants of human behavior not in socialrelations, but within the internal logic of systems of ideas asthey appear in culture. He has avoided both the theoreticallimitations of cultural relativism and reductionism and hasreturned to the study of culture its comparative dimensionand its autonomy. He is unique among social scientists inhis concern with the philosophical significance of histheories. He is regarded as one of the masters of modemFrench prose and is acclaimed far outside the discipline ofanthropology.Salvador E. Luria, Professor of Microbiology, Massachu­setts Institute of Technology (Doctor of Science). Luria,together with Max Delbruck, laid most of the foundationsof bacteriophage genetics. They studied the phenomenon ofexclusion of closely related phage particles, the morphol­ogy of phage and phage-infected bacteria, and mutations ofbacteria which made them resistant to phage infection. Eachof the studies led to a burst of activity on the part of othergeneticists. Luria has continued fruitfully to investigate avariety of problems concerned with the detailed mechanismof bacteriophage reproduction.John Willard Milnor, University Professor of Mathemat­ics, Princeton University (Doctor of Science). Milnor, oneof the world's leading topologists, has made contributionsin algebraic and differential topology and discovered theexistence of inequivalent differential structures on spheresof sufficiently high dimensions. The youngest member ofthe National Academy of Sciences, he received one of thetwo Field Medals, considered the mathematical equivalentof the Nobel Prize, at the quadrennial International Mathe­matical Congress (Stockholm) in 1962.Franco Modigliani, Professor of Economics and Manage­ment, Massachusetts Institute of Technology (Doctor ofLaws) . Modigliani demonstrated clearly and rigorously howthe macro-economic theory of price levels and employment could be built up from the analysis of individual behavioremployed in micro-economic theory. Modigliani effecteda rapprochement between the two dominant doctrines, prop-. erly developing the foundations of Keynes' General Theoryand anchored macro theory firmly in the mainstream ofaccepted economic theory. His work implicitly suggests theline of attack for the profession in the understanding ofmacro phenomena.Alberto Monroy, Professor of Comparative Anatomy, Uni­versity of Palermo (Doctor of Science). Dr. Monroy is aleader in the field of molecular biology and early embryonicdevelopment. He has been continuously on the forefront ofstudies on the physiology of gametes and fertilization and ofdifferentiation in early embryonic development, and hisrecent book on the physiology of fertilization has become astandard for reference. He has worked in several labora­tories in Europe and in the United States, contributing bothPresident Beadle delivering the convocation address.13from the scholarly point of view and as a pioneer and mod­ern investigator to the progress of basic biological concepts.Talcott Parsons, Professor of Sociology, Harvard Univer­sity (Doctor of Laws). As much as any other single scholar,Parsons has excited interest in basic theoretical questions ofsociology since his first major work, The Structure of SocialA ction, was published in 1937. His insistence on theoreticalanalysis has lent balance and meaning to burgeoning tech­niques, for empirical study -. He has broken new ground inmedical and legal sociology, the study of stratification, andin the search for links with related disciplines. He has fa­cilitated communication among the social sciences to anunprecedented extent, and many scholars in these relateddisciplines have adopted his modes of analysis.Willard Van Orman Quine, the Edgar Pierce Professor ofPhilosophy, Harvard University (Doctor of Humane Let­ters). Quine has demonstrated the relevance of mathemati­cal logic to the perennial problems of philosophy. To hiscontributions in mathematical logic as such he has addedan innovative formulation of ontic commitment in terms ofquantificational logic and penetrating analyses of proposi­tional attitudes and other fundamental concepts. Throughthe clarity and appeal of his writing and the breadth of hisknowledge, he has done much to keep philosophy abreastof contemporary science.Edwin O. Reischauer, University Professor, Harvard Uni­versity (Doctor of Humane Letters). Reischauer is recog­nized as a founder of Japanese studies in America. His workwith elementary Japanese language and the selection oftexts for university students reflects his concern for modernJapan and his desire that Americans better understandJapanese culture. His publication of Ennin's diary demon­strates his facility and perception in dealing with ancienttexts. He led the Harvard-Yenching Institute from 1956 to1961, and in a distinguished career as American Ambassa­dor to Japan from 1961 to 1966 brought increased under­standing to Japanese-American relations. His teaching hasinfluenced the great majority of leading Japanese scholarsin America today. 'Paul Ricoeur, Professor of Philosophy, the University ofParis (Doctor of Divinity). Ricoeur's philosophy of re­gained unity centers upon the reconciliation of man withhimself, his body, and the world. Man's faulted unity isparticularly exemplified in ambition and hatred, and final14 reunification can be found only in the dimension of trans­cendence. Ricoeur's work has influenced psychology, an­thropology, and history as well as philosophy and theology.He is the rare scholar who can contribute effectively acrossdisciplinary lines, and is one of the few world leaders of thephenomenological school.Allan R. Sandage, Astronomer, Mount Wilson andPalomar Observatories, California (Doctor of Science).Sandage's first work laid the theoretical grounds for theincorporation of stellar evolution into modern astronomy.Later he reformulated the cosmological problem left un­resolved by Hubble, and recently he has made fundamentalcontributions to the identification of quasi-stellar radiosources. His recognition that there are numerous distantgalaxies among so-called blue stellar objects expanded pos­sibilities for cosmology unanticipated even two years ago.He has received the Eddington Medal (Royal AstronomicalSociety) and the Helen Warner Prize (American Astro­nomical Society), and in 1963 he became the youngest as­tronomer ever elected to the National Academy of Sciences.B. F. Skinner, the Edgar Pierce Professor of Psychology,Harvard University (Doctor of Science). Skinner has shownthat the experimental and analytical methods of naturalscience can be applied to the behavior of animals and men.His descriptive behavorism has achieved far-reaching influ­ence in psychology, pharmacology and neurology, educa­tion, therapy, and cultural planning. He and his studentsfounded the Journal oj the Experimental Analysis oj Be­havior, now in its ninth volume, which adds 500 pagesannually to psychological literature. His research, whichhas made possible dealing with the will and motives of menand beasts experimentally, may, through verbal analysis,be able eventually to deal with their thoughts as well.Robert M. Solow, Professor of Economics, MassachusettsInstitute of Technology (Doctor of Laws). Solow has re­peatedly opened new areas of research. His works on eco­nomic growth, technological change, the integration oftheories of investment and technological change, the elas­ticity of substitution production function, and the econo­metric theory of distributed lags, have widely influencedsubsequent study in each area. Solow was an influentialmember of the staff of the Council of Economic Advisers(1961 to 1962) and has received the John Bates ClarkMedal (1961). 0Quadrangle News"Study-In" 0 Protests Draft Ranking­Fifty-Eight students were suspended fol­lowing a "study-in" at the AdministrationBuilding May 29. The cases against threeother students were dismissed.The "study-in" was staged by StudentsAgainst the Rank (SAR), an organizationformed in April, 1966, to oppose the useby the Selective Service of a student's classstanding to determine his eligibility for thedraft. SAR had staged a "sit-in" at the Ad­ministration Building from May 11 toMay 16, 1966.Following the May demonstration, theCouncil of the Faculty Senate voted tocommend the administration for its han­dling of the controversy, condemned thedemonstrators, and directed the adminis­tration to take disciplinary measures "notexcluding expulsion" against students whoresorted to disruptive activities in thefuture. A faculty student committee wasappointed to explore the draft questionand to consider measures for increasingstudent participation in making policiesaffecting students.On February 21, 1967, the Council ofthe Faculty Senate voted 'to end rankingof male students as a special group but tocontinue to provide information about theranking of all students, a considerationthat has importance for academic reasons.On May 17 and 18, a referendum spon­sored by Student Government asked stu­dents and faculty in the college their opin­ion as to whether the0 University shouldcompile any ranking. Approximately halfthe students came to the polls, 796 votingagainst and 399 voting for ranking. Ap­proximately one-fifth of the faculty voted,40 for and 16 against ranking.Students Against the Rank demandedthat the vote be considered a mandateto cease all ranking. The University de­murred, pointing to the existing decisionby the Council and noting that there areindications that the use of ranking in anyform by the Selective Service may soon beended and that there are many educationaluses for an all-student ranking. On May 26, SAR announced plans for a"study-in" the following Monday and saidthat students would maintain a "non­obstructive" presence in the Administra­tion Building for 24 hours-a-day andwould, between 0 the hours of 5 p.m. and7 a.m., occupy the building completely.A statement was issued by Wayne Booth,Dean of the College, and Warner Wick,Dean of Students, in which they warnedthat SAR's announced plans were disrup­tive and that "the University will institutedisciplinary 0 measures against any studentwho persists in such action after he hasbeen notified that his conduct is disruptiveand has been requested to cease."On May 29 at 4: 15 p.m, a rally began onthe steps of the building and at 5: 00 p.m.some 120 students entered the building tojoin an "advance guard." At 5: 15 p.m. no�tices were posted declaring that the demon­stration was disruptive and requesting thatall students leave the building immediately.Fifteen minutes later, representatives ofthe Dean of Students went through thebuilding giving specific warnings that anystudents remaining after another half hourwould be summoned to appear before aUniversity Disciplinary Committee. Manystudents left. Beginning at 6: 00 p.m. sum­monses were issued to a total of 61 stu­dents. Second summonses were given atabout 10: 30 p.m. after a warning thatpenalties might be increased for those re­ceiving them. By midnight, all students hadleft the building.On Tuesday morning, May 30, a nine­member faculty Discipline Committee be­gan its work, which continued throughMonday evening, June 5. Its recommenda­tions follow:1. That in one case there is no basis fordisciplinary action.2. That in two cases the matter be re­ferred back to the Dean of Students with­out recommendation, for such further in­quiry and proceedings as he sees fit.3. That all students who are currentlyfirst-year students in the College be sus­pended for the Autumn Quarter, 1967,but that the execution of the suspension be set aside, arid that these facts be notedin the appropriate records of the students.4. That all students who are currentlyundergraduates other than first-year stu­dents be suspended from the end of SpringQuarter, 1967, until January 1, 1968.5. That students who are degree candi­dates in the Spring Quarter, 1967, also besuspended for the Autumn Quarter, 1967,and that this fact be noted in their appro­priate records. This recommendation ismade with full awareness that the execu­tion of the sanction in most cases will not,as a practical matter, become effective.6. That because of possible difficultiesarising from the joint defense, the oppor­tunity to appeal to the Dean of Studentson the basis of individual circumstancesbe clearly communicated to the studentsinvolved.7. Finally, that the Committee be af­forded the opportunity to provide, at itsconvenience, a written opinion in supportof these actions, and that the opinion becommunicated to the students concernedand to the University Community.Danforth Fellowships-Three seniors inthe College are among 124 students acrossthe nation who have been awarded Dan­forth Graduate Fellowships for 1967.More than 2,000 college seniors fromcolleges and universities throughout theUnited States competed this year.The Fellowships are awarded by the Dan­forth Foundation of St. Louis, Missouri.They are designed to encourage outstand­ing college graduates who have selectedcollege teaching as a career and therebyhelp to meet the need for competent col­lege instructors. Each Fellowship providestuition and living expenses for four yearsof graduate study leading to the PhDdegree.The 1967 Danforth Fellows from theUniversity are:-Leon Botstein of New York City (mod­ern European history) .- Mark A. Breenberg of Philadelphia(philosophy and literature) .-Michael L. Siemon of Omaha (topol­ogy).15Weston Head Joins Faculty-Robert Rath­bun Wilson, Director of the nationalaccelerator laboratory to be built at Wes­ton, Illinois, was appointed Professor ofPhysics on March 30. He will hold a jointappointment in the Department of Physicsand the Enrico Fermi Institute for NuclearStudies.Wilson earned his PhD degree in 1940 atthe University of California at Berkeley,where he studied under the late Nobelprize winner, Ernest O. Lawrence. Whilestill a graduate student there, Wilson beganhis research on the scattering of protons byprotons. He went to Princeton Universityas an instructor in 1940 and, in collabora­tion with the late Enrico Fermi, then atColumbia University, soon was engagedin some early measurements of the neu­tron-absorbing properties of the elementU-235. In 1941, he invented the "isotronmethod" for separating the isotopes ofuranium. He then was placed in charge ofa fifty-man atomic energy project atPrinceton.When the Los Alamos Laboratory wasformed in 1943, Wilson and his colleaguesmoved to New Mexico to help in the for­mation of that laboratory, where he servedas director of the cyclotron group. Heheaded the Experimental Nuclear PhysicsDivision until 1946, when he accepted ateaching post at Harvard University.Wilson assisted in designing a cyclotronat Harvard before leaving in 1947 to jointhe faculty at Cornell University. He hasbeen Professor of Physics and Director ofthe Laboratory of Nuclear Studies at Cor­nell since then. One of his primary dutiesthere has been directing the design andconstruction of a 10 BEV electron syn­chrotron, which he expects to see throughto its successful completion this year.Wilson was elected to the National Acad­emy of Sciences in 1957 and was the firstchairman of the Federation" of AmericanScientists. He has had formal training as asculptor in the United States and in Italyand has had two showings of his sculpturein Ithaca. He was commissioned to makea large sculpture for the Institute of Ad-16 vanced Studies at Princeton, and anotherfor the Festival Theatre in Ithaca.He is married to the former Jane InezScheyer of San Francisco. They and theirthree children will live in the Hyde Park­Kenwood area when Wilson joins the fac­ulty in August or September.Willett Professorship-The Howard L.Willett Charitable Foundation has made agift of $500,000 to the University to estab­lish an endowed professorship in the Col­lege. The Howard L. Willett Professorshipwill be awarded to a man or woman whosecareer has been devoted primarily to theteaching of undergraduates and who, inthat career, has come to exemplify thecreative teacher.The gift to the University's $160,000,000Ca�paign for Chicago was announced byPresident George W. Beadle, who said:"The Foundation's decision to honor andsupport first-rate College teaching-thecornerstone of all that the University istrying to do-comes at a propitious time.The University recently 'embarked on anew program for the College which willstrike a better balance between specializa­tion and general education and will bringthe graduate and undergraduate levels ofthe University into a closer and more en­riching relationship. The Willett chair willnot only add distinction to the faculty ofthe College, but will help bring to everyoneworking on the New College program a re­newed sense of the importance of theentire enterprise."The University was notified of the WillettFoundation gift by Howard L. Willett, Jr.,PhB'30, a well-known Chicago businessleader and a Trustee of the Foundationwho said: "All of us associated with theFoundation believe that the continued ad­vance of the University of Chicago is amatter of importance to the cause of high­er education throughout the nation. It isour hope that this memorial to my fatherwill become a symbol of achievement inthe art of teaching."The Howard L. Willett Charitable Foun­dation was established in Chicago in 1954by the late Howard L. Willett, Sr., PhB'06: Its grants have been made in support ofmedical research and higher education. Aspart of their earlier support of the Univer­sity, in 1955 the Willett family and theFoundation set up the May Cave WillettResearch Fund. This has been used to studyproblems of childbearing. In 1961, theyestablished the Willett Faculty Fellow­ships, designated to allow three youngerfaculty members to be released from theirteaching duties for an academic quarter inorder to strengthen their scholarly inter­ests. In addition, they have made substan­tial contributions . to the renovation ofCobb Hall, and have provided unrestrict­ed funds for University programs.Facing Page: A cast of sixty persons,including many prominent Chicagoans,participated in. a light-hearted musicalextravaganza at Rockefeller Chapel onMay 12. Daniel Robins, the Universitycarillonneur, conceived, produced, andconducted the musical spoof. The pro­gram: Antonio Soler's Concerto NO'. 3,scored for portable carillon and calliope;Mozart's Rondo alIa Turca, scored for theRockefeller Chapel carillon, portable car­illon, calliope, tympani, electric bassguitar, tambourine, triangle, finger cym­bals, and schellenbaum (a Turkish bell­staff); Wagner's Isolde's Love-Death,scored for sixteen tubas (perched behindthe high parapet atop the Chapel) and theChapel carillon; Leopold Mozart's, Cas­satio in G Major (The Toy Symphony)scored for the Chapel carillon and a spe­cial toy counter built for the program;and, for the finale, Sousa's The Stars andStripes Forever, scored for all the above­mentioned instruments and featuringPresident and Mrs. Beadle on the sidedrums (see presidential balcony on towerin background of photo). The 22-by-36-foot flag was unfurled during a climacticpassage in the finale, and, taken by a gustof wind, it sailed majestically back overthe parapet and onto the heads of the bass­drum section, resulting in what were . laterdescribed by Mr. Robins as «rhythmicinaccuracies" emanating from that portionof the ensemble.UC Accelerator to Elmhurst College-Thedonation of a 750,000-volt particle accel­erator to Elmhurst College was announcedby President George W. Beadle at theApril 23 dedication of Elmhurst's new$200,000,000 Science Center. The acceler­ator, originally known as the Kevatron,was designed in 1949 by the late SamuelK. Allison, the Frank P. Hixon Distin­guished Service Professor in the Depart­ment of Physics and Director of the EnricoFermi Institute for Nuclear Studies.Donald C. Kleckner, Elmhurst president;said it will be renamed the Allison Acceler­ator. "We are humbly grateful to the Uni­versity of Chicago. As the forerunner tosuch modern nuclear installations as theproposed $300,000,000 atom smasherplant in nearby Weston, the accelerator isa particularly valued gift. With it, we atElmhurst hope to contribute to furtherimportant nuclear research."President Beadle said The University ofChicago considers it "a fitting tribute toDr. Allison that the accelerator will be re­named in his honor. We are proud to makethat tribute possible."T. B. Holliday, head of Elmhurst's de­partment of physics, said the acceleratorwill be used for research with the lighterelements. There are only fifteen schools inthe nation with accelerators of comparablesize. Elmhurst, with 1,300 students, be­comes the smallest school to utilize suchan installation for research.Woodrow Wilson Fellows-Seventeen sen­iors in the College were selected on March15 as Woodrow Wilson Fellows to encour­age them to become college and universityfaculty members. A report by the Wood­row Wilson National Fellowship Founda­tion showed that the University had thelargest number of Fellows in the Founda­tion's region nine-the states of Illinoisand Indiana.The Fellows will receive one academicyear of graduate education (with tuitionand fees paid by the Foundation), a livingstipend of $2,000, and allowances for de­pendent children. In addition, the Founda-18 tion will award a supplementary grant tothe graduate school where each Fellowchooses to enroll. This grant is to be used,for the most part, for fellowships to ad­vanced graduate students. The WoodrowWilson Fellowship Program has been sup­ported since 1958 by $52 million in grantsfrom the Ford Foundation.The seventeen College seniors .named asFellows are:Leon Botstein, New York City; ChristineKaren Cassel, Arlington, Va.; Robert A.Couzin, Skokie, Ill.; Harry M. Davidow,Morrisville, Pa.; Jonathan Goldberg,Brooklyn; Mark A. Greenberg, Philadel­phia; Howard P. Greenwald, New YorkCity; Patrick M. Hanlon; Coyahoga Falls,Ohio; Janet H. Johnson, Denver; James J.Keene, Tulsa; Jeanine M. Minikin, OakPark, Ill.; Margaret K. Murata, Chicago;Susan J. Noakes, Chicago; Kenneth D.Schlosser, Great Neck, N.Y.; David M.Stameshkin, Chicago; Arthur J. Tune,Garden Grove, Calif.; Susan Weller, Wil­liamsville, N.Y.$150,000 Music Grant-The RockefellerFoundation has made a grant of $150,000to the University to continue support ofthe study and performance of contempo­rary music. The program is now under­written until 1971, when the Universitywill take over support of all aspects of thework.In 1964, a $250,000 grant made by theRockefeller Foundation was used to estab­lish a program of graduate fellowships forcomposers and musicologists who are alsoaccomplished instrumentalists. The crea­tion of the University's ContemporaryChamber Players, with a nucleus formedby the fellows in the program, was madepossible by that grant. The group givesabout eight concerts a year and has gaineda reputation for sensitive performance ofrecent and relatively unfamiliar works.With the new grant, the program will con­tin ute to support three to six graduate fel­lows annually. A fellow receives a stipendof $4,000 in addition to tuition, and fur­ther allowances are granted for minor de­pendents. As in the past, funds will be available to engage professional musiciansfrom the- Chicago area to supplement theContemporary Chamber Players from timeto time. The new grant also is expected toexpand the group's touring activity.R. N. Malpractice "Trial"-On April �,Elizabeth Lodge, R.N., was tried for negli­gence while attending a heart attack vic.tImwho was receiving intravenous medica­tion. She allegedly had allowed the fluid toflow into the arm tissue instead of into thevein. The patient recovered, but accus�dthe nurse of negligence which resulted 10an arm infection and permanent scarringof the arm tissue.The fictitious Miss Lodge was the de­fendant in a mock trial designed to drama­tize problems typical of those faced dailyby nurses. The courtroom demonstrationwas part of a day-long conference on "TheNurse and the Law," sponsored by the De­partment of Nursing at The University ofChicago Hospitals and Clinics. GabrielleMartel, Director of Nursing at the Hos­pitals, said: "Any nurse, no matter howcapable, faces the possibility that she maybe sued for negligence. Therefore, it is theduty of all nurses to understand malprac­tice law."Three Chicago lawyers, all of them spec­ialists in negligence litigation, participatedin the conference. During the morningsession, Eugene 1. Pavalon, of the Chicagofirm of Louis G. Davidson, examined therelationship of malpractice law to a nurse'sprofessional duties. Some of the questionshe discussed were: What does the law con­sider as actionable negligence? How doesa nurse's negligence create legal responsi­bility on the part of the doctor and thehospital? What actions are legally medicaland not nursing functions? Following Pav­alon's remarks, Michael A. Coccia andThomas F. Bridgman, both partners inthe Chicago law firm of Baker, McKenzieand Hightower, discussed the presentationof evidence, the adversary system, and therole of the expert witness.At registration, each person attending theconference received a program booklet inwhich all information on the demonstra-tion case was given. The trial participantshad been given the same information andhad to base all questions and testimony onthe histories. Pavalon acted as judge forthe malpractice trial, and Sharon O'Neill,an instructor at the Hospitals, portrayedthe defendant, Miss Lodge. Patricia Rice,an instructor at Loyola University Schoolof Nursing, was the expert witness for theprosecution. Coccia served as prosecutor,and Bridgman as defense attorney. Fol­lowing the demonstration, a panel evalu­ated the proceedings. The panel was ledby Edward J. Kionka, Director of TheCenter for Continuing Education of theIllinois Bar Association, Springfield, Illi­nois, and a member of the Chicago lawfirm of Leibman, Williams, Bennett, Baird,and Minow..Faculty & StaffDr. Albert A.

Wright was cited"for original and sustained contributionsto the mathematical foundations of thetheory of evolution and for basic contri­butions to experimental and biometricalgenetics."19ProfilesHenry Wadsworth McGee"I decided I needed a Master's degree.It was the least I could do if I really wasgoing to prepare myself for the oppor­tunities I felt would eventually come. NotPostmaster now, don't misunderstand­I never dreamed that I'd be Postmaster.But I felt very strongly that federal agen­cies, especially the Post Office, would begiving better opportunities to Negroes andthat I'd better get prepared for them. Andthey did corne. That's why I wanted to goto the University. I figured that a Master'sdegree from The University of Chicagowould broaden my chances of being ad­vanced."Henry McGee's recent appointment asPostmaster of. Chicago was an importantfirst for career employees in a job tradi­tionally held by political appointees. Thejob and its responsibilities are enormous:over 28,000 employees; the implementa­tion of the Zip Code progr.am; an arrayof personnel problems deriving from thehard work, difficult hours, and increas­ing mechanization; and a projected totalof 78 billion pieces of mail to be handledin 1967.McGee was born February 7, 1910, in20 Hillsboro, Texas-"a nice little southerntown. When we wanted to roller. skate,we'd go over to the white communitywhere there were sidewalks. We actuallylived fairly well: my father was a sec­tion foreman for a railroad constructionrepair gang. He was an uneducated man,but he had leadership ability and was asupervisor as far back asI can remember.When we moved to Kansas City-when Iwas 13-things weren't as good. Myfather was a roundhouse foreman, but welived in a pretty poor neighborhood."McGee carne to Chicago hoping to getinto medical school. He studied pre-medfor a few years at Crane Junior Collegeand at Lewis Insitute, but the Depressionintervened: He met his wife, Attye Belle,at Crane in 1928, and they were marriedin 1931. He began working for the PostOffice as a substitute clerk in 1929. Threeyears later, when Post Office work be­came lean, he took a job as an agent for alife insurance company to support hisgrowing family. In 1935 the governmentinstituted a 40-hour work. week and, after"some soul-searching," he decided to re­turn to a permanent position with thePost Office.From 1945 to 1961 at least one memberof the family of five was in college. Hiswife completed her undergraduate studiesat Roosevelt University in 1945. She latercarne to UC, earning a Master's in educa­tion in 1959, and she now teaches par­tially-sighted children at Douglas Schoolin Chicago. Mrs. McGee has "alwayscherished The University of Chicago,"McGee says. "She told me-and I didn'tlearn this until later years-that when thechildren were young she'd come fromGarfield Boulevard and Dearborn Street,where we used to live, and walk on cam­pus-just because of the atmosphere."Their son, Henry, Jr., is now an attorney;their eldest daughter, Sylvia, has a teach­ing degree; and their youngest daughter,Penny, is a student at Stephens College,Columbia, Missouri. McGee completedhis undergraduate work at Illinois Insti­tute of Technology in 1949. He came toUC in 1958. Three years later he received his Master's in Political Science in thefield of public administration. "I'm notsure to this day just how I managed it,what with all the activity I had going."His thesis topic: "The Negro in the postOffice."The McGees live on East 50th Street,near Woodlawn Avenue, in the Kenwooddistrict near the University, "an interra­cial community of high standards, rich incultural activities and educational oppor­tunities." A longtime community leader,McGee is on the boards of directors of theChicago Child Care Society, the ChicagoBaptist Association, the Community Fund,the Conservation Community Council forthe Hyde Park-Kenwood Urban RenewalProject, the Hyde Park Cooperative Soci­ety (of which he is past president), andthe Abraham Lincoln Centre. The latteris a settlement house on Chicago's southside and one of McGee's "strong inter­ests."McGee has firm views on civil rightsand Negro responsibilities. "The sit-insand marches are necessary and importantin the civil rights struggle, but there is apoint beyond which one ought not in­flame. For example, Martin Luther King'smarches in Chicago last year led to tenta­tive understanding with the city fathersas to what the community was workingtoward. But I think it was completely irre­sponsible to march into Cicero at that. sensitive time. I joined the march onWashington and it was a thrilling expe­rience to see such. a mass of humanity re­sponsibly demonstrating their dissatisfac­tion. People tend to forget that Negroestoday are not acting differently fromother groups, in the history of our coun­try, who were trying to throw off someshackles. About a hundred years ago herein Chicago a group of Germans marchedon City Hall protesting a rule that beercould not be served on Sundays, and therewas a bloody riot. During the suffragemovement women chained themselves tofire hydrants 'or marched in the streets.I think that demonstrations-peaceful,orderly demonstrations-have a proper,rightful place in our society."Leon O. JacobsonIn any scientific discussion about red cellreproduction and irradiation, the work ofDr. Leon Jacobson is almost certain to bementioned. His investigations at the Uni­versity and the Argonne Cancer ResearchHospital have contributed to standardtreatments for Hodgkin's disease and lym­phoma, to tissue transplantation, and ahost of pioneering information on the hor­mone erythropoietin and the dynamics ofthe red blood cel1 production it activates.Research, is only one of the many facetsto Dr. Jacobson's daily life. He also is aneducator, physician, lecturer, consultant,and administrator-handling all this workwith an air of complete relaxation. It isnot easy to place him in anyone occupa­tion above the others. He is bound to hispatients and his research. He admits to alove of teaching. And, as for administra­tion, he says, "I've never been out of it."He was associate director and later direc­tor of health for the Plutonium Projectduring World War II and, at the Univer­sity, he has been associate dean in thedivision of biological sciences, head of thehematology section at the Hospitals, andchairman of the department of medicine.Dr. Jacobson has been the director of theArgonne Cancer Research Hospital since it was built in 1951 and he holds the JosephRegenstein Professorship of Biological andMedical Sciences. Since January 1, 1967,he has been Dean of the Division of theBiological Sciences.Leon Orris Jacobson was born December16, 1911, in Sims, North Dakota, a oncebustling-but by then dwindling-frontiertrading post for cowboys and coal miners.Thirty years later it was little more than aghost town and soon after that it becameonly a corner of the ranch now owned byJacobson's brother, Clarence.The J acobsons were a close-knit family,and the Norwegian-born parents instilledin their six sons and daughter a respect forthe land, religion, and education. At theage of sixteen, Jacobson entered NorthDakota Agricultural Col1ege. A few yearslater, finding himself without money earlyin the Depression, he took charge of a one­room schoolhouse in the Sims district and"experimented with the minds of the kids."To twenty-seven of them, ranging in agefrom five to thirteen, he taught everythingfrom the alphabet to such aspects of botanyand biology that were prompted by class­room specimens of local flora and fauna.Jacobson returned to college and receivedhis SB degree from North Dakota StateUniversity in 1935. He went on to earnhis medical degree at The University ofChicago School of Medicine in 1939, thenserved his internship and residency at theUniversity Hospitals.Even as a student he had begun his re­search. His first paper, "Effects of EthylAlcohol in the Cerebral Cortex and Hypo­thalamus of the Cat," was published in1940 in Archives of Neurology and Psy­chiatry. While still an intern, he experi­mented with radioactive substances in thetreatment of leukemia. As an embryo phy­sician on the University faculty he con­ducted experiments with a secret war gasin the treatment of Hodgkin's disease, leu­kemias, and related problems.New vistas of research opened for Dr.Jacobson with the emergence of the atomicage. He was the associate health director,then health director of the PlutoniumProject, where he also began research on protective measures against the biologicdestructiveness caused by the by-productsof atomic weapons. While testing the toler­ance levels of mice to strontium-89, heobserved that when the blood-formingcells in the bone marrow were destroyedby radioactivity, their function was takenover by the spleen. He found that if theexteriorized spleen was shielded by a leadbox, the animals could survive lethal dosesof whole-body radiation. Although char­acteristic damage to blood-forming tissueoccurred immediately after irradiation,within seven to ten days the depleted tissuereturned to normal and was repopulatingthe circulatory system. Spleen transplants,injection of spleen cells, and infusion ofembryonic and baby mouse blood-formingtissue similarly enabled Dr. Jacobson's ir­radiated mice to survive. The significanceof these findings was enormous. New ave­nues of exploration were opened in cancertherapy, in immunology, in genetics, andin the growing science of transplantation.For Dr. Jacobson, the next logical stepwas the study of the blood-forming proc­ess. He and his team devised sensitivemethods for assaying the hormone erythro­poietin by using the iron-59 uptake innewly formed erythrocytes as a measure ofthe blood-forming response to injected ery­thropoietin. "We blew the red blood cellarea wide open," he says in retrospect. Thegroup then went on to pinpoint the kidneyas one formation site of erythropoietin,found a chemical agent that was effectivein triggering its blood-forming action, andsought to isolate the purified fraction of thehormone so that it could be used for clini­cal purposes.
