Kimpton Distinguished Service Professor in the Department of Sociology and''the College and president of the Inter-Uni-' versity Seminar on Armed Forces andSociety. The occasion was a two-day con-1 ference in honor of Janowitz, at whichsome twenty colleagues and former stu-'" dents, all sociologists, presented papers.' ,; "In surveying a character and intellect'as complex as those of Morris Janowitz, it is''almost impossible to judge the impact he-'has had on others," continued Moskos, addressing an audience of about fifty persons, including Gayle Shulenberger Janowitz,AM'51, and the Janowitzes' daughters,Naomi and Rebecca. "His place in the history of the discipline [of sociology] issecured by an extraordinary range and brilliance. These qualities have illuminatedalmost every area of sociology. As profound as have been his intellectual contributions, even more profound may be hiscontributions as a teacher. He never oversimplifies, he has a nose for importantproblems, and he has always preserved arobust common sense.""The conference recognizes MorrisJanowitz's sustained and wide-rangingcontributions to the field of sociology,"said Gerald Suttles, professor in the Department of Sociology and director of theCenter for Social Organization Studies,one of the organizers.At formal sessions in Ida Noyes Hallon May 14 and 15, the sociologists gave papers on topics relating to Janowitz's work.Janowitz has taught at the Universityfrom 1948 to 1951, and from 1962 to thepresent. He was named a DistinguishedService Professor in 1973.His books include The Last HalfCentury: Societal Change and Politics in America, and The Professional Soldier.He is editor of the Heritage of SociologySeries being published by the Universityof Chicago Press."Morris taught us to stick to our gunsin the face of political criticism," saidMayer N. Zald, of the University of Michigan, another speaker at the dinner. "Inthe face of know-nothing hostility he hasdone more to make a sociological presencein the analysis of the military than anyoneelse. His life would have been much easierhad he forgotten about the military . . .Sometimes I wish he hadn't taught me tobe so obstinate about speaking the truthas I know it. He taught us to see thesociological life as a constant quest."MASSEY NAMEDRESEARCH V.P.Walter E.

Gray, who said:"Walter Massey is an outstandingphysicist who has led Argonne superblysince 1979."Argonne National Laboratory is amajor national asset. For more than threedecades it has provided the United Statesand the world with high-quality scientific and engineering research and development."This appointment reflects our deepcommitment to Argonne and its peopleand our sense of responsibility to makecertain that the laboratory's full potentialis realized and its existing strengths maintained and improved."In his new post Massey will have major responsibility for coordinating policyand administrative relations betweenArgonne and the University as well asconcentrating on the laboratory's long- range planning and priorities, and representing it in the scientific and engineeringcommunities. He will continue to expandArgonne's relationships with other universities, scientific institutions, andcorporations.Massey also will oversee the administration of the University's research policyand a number of its administrative scientific committees.Argonne, situated on 1,700 acres 25miles west of Chicago, is operated by theUniversity under a contract with the U.S.Department of Energy.Final agreement was reached in September for the University to become itssole operator effective October 1, replacing a tripartite agreement under whichoperational responsibility had beenshared by the Argonne Universities Association, a consortium of 30 midwesternuniversities.The Department of Energy announcedOctober 6 that it would extend its contractwith the University to operate the laboratory for an expected five-year period afterthe current contract expires in 1983.Under the new arrangement, the University will establish a board of governorsfor Argonne that will consist of Universityof Chicago officers, trustees, and facultytogether with scientists, engineers, andadministrators from other universities andfrom industry.Massey, 44, obtained a doctorateinphysics from Washington University inSt. Louis in 1966. He served briefly as apost-doctoral fellow and staff physicist.atArgonne and taught physics at the University of Illinois until 1970, when hejoined the physics faculty at Brown University, where he was named Dean of theCollege in 1975.

In principle, he cannow order TF 0001.Fujita was in Colorado at the time,serving a three-month stint as one of theprincipal investigators for the Joint Airport Weather Studies (JAWS) Project, inan effort to determine what role weatherconditions played in several fatal airplanecrashes in recent years.Fujita, a short, compact man whogreets visitors with a combination ofAmerican friendliness and Japanese formality, recalled the moment:"I was at a Doppler radar site locatedabout twenty kilometers northeast of Denver. At 4:14 p.m. I was looking east, and I; saw a rotating cloud. I went into the radarroom to tell them to scan the cloud I waswatching. Then I ran back outside to see itwith my own eyes.""Mr. Tornado," as he has beeni dubbed by colleagues and the press, hadfinally seen his first tornado.Springtime, for millions of Americans, is tornado time. More than three-quarters of the world's tornadoes occur inthe United States, most of them betweenTexas and Ohio.With the aid of new technology, suchas satellite surveillance of broad weatherpatterns, Doppler radar, laboratory produced winds, and computer studies ofJames L. Ballard storms' characteristics, meteorologists areattempting to learn what actually constitutes a tornado, and what causes thesedevastating phenomena to occur.Most meteorologists would agreethat two things are necessary to create atornado: convergence and rotation.Convergence takes place when airrises, and is produced by the collision oftwo large air masses of different temperatures and moisture content. When heatrises from the earth's surface, a strong up-draft forms, and carries with it the warm,moisture-laden air.As this draft gains altitude, it expands and cools. The water vapor in theupdraft condenses and releases more heat,which helps drive the column of air higher.Under certain conditions, the rising updraft moves up into the stratosphere,then descends, and produces thunder-heads which are about 40,000 to 60,000feet high. Severe thunderstorms develop.Tornadoes occur if, in addition to theabove, there is rotation.Some rotation of the air is impartedby the earth's turning on its axis. Thiseffect, called the Coriolis effect (afterGustave-Gaspard Coriolis, a French engineer and mathematician who first described it in 1835) causes air masses northof the equator to rotate counterclockwise,and those south of the equator to rotateclockwise.Along with this rotation, in order fora tornado to be created, there must bewind shear, a strong shift in wind speedand direction. Together with the thunderstorm's updraft, the wind shear producesa whirling column of air.At first, this column of air rotatesslowly, but it gains speed as the spiraltightens. Next, there results a rapidly rotating body of air called a "mesocyclone"— which is the precursor of a tornado. Asthe rotating column gains force, thereforms at its base a whirling finger of whitecondensation. As this finger picks up dirtand debris, it becomes darker, reachesdown, and becomes a roaring swirl ofdeadly force — a tornado.* * *The day after he had seen his first"live" tornado near Denver, Fujita, as hehad hundreds of times before, flew overthe tornado touchdown area to take aerialphotos and assess damage. He was accompanied by Roger M. Wakimoto, PhD'81,research associate in the Department ofGeophysical Sciences.Fujita has had a lifelong passion for A Fujita-produced "tornado." When vaporrises from a pan of dry ice, an overhead suctionfan spins it into an upward cyclonic motion.studying damaging winds. In fact, he confesses, he's fascinated by "anything (meteorologically] that causes damage." As agraduate student in Japan, he was interested in typhoons, then thunderstorms.Three weeks after an atomic bombhad destroyed the city of Hiroshima, inAugust, 1945, Fujita, then 24, visited thedesolate area. He went with a purpose: hewanted to examine the debris and gainknowledge from the disaster. After studying the scorch marks which the bomb's intense heat had etched on bamboo flowervases in a cemetery, the young scientistwas able to determine that only one bombhad been dropped, not two as Japaneseexperts initially suspected.In 1949, Fujita, ever curious, spent $50in studying a thunderstorm, trying todetermine the nature of winds. As a result,he wrote a paper on downdraf ts (once calledair pockets) in thunderstorms."I didn't know what to do with it," heconfessed. "Finally, I sent a copy to thechairman of the Meteorology Departmentat the University of Chicago, Dr. HoraceR. Byers. He told me that American scien-7Flljita's First.

Photos illustrate the Fujita Scale, devised by Fujita to classify tornadoes according to the damagethey cause. Each F rating correlates with a range of wind speeds; the speeds reflect a combination of rotational and forward velocity. F-0 winds (40-72 miles per hour) cause light damage; F-l winds (73-112 mph) cause moderate damage;F-2 winds (113-157 mph) cause considerable damage; F-3 winds (158-206 mph) cause severe damage; F-4 winds(207-260 mph) cause devastating damage; and F-5 winds (261-318 mph) cause incredible damage.10 UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINE/Winter 1983tists had spent millions of dollars todiscover downdraft."Dr. Byers invited the young physicsprofessor to conduct research at the University of Chicago for a year. At the University, Fujita was able to concentrate onhis true passions, tornadoes and damagingwinds; he stayed on. This year, Fujita celebrates his thirtieth year on the faculty.Fujita is amused at his own lack ofluck in seeing tornadoes, but he is everhopeful. During thunderstorms he patrolsthe roof of the Henry Hinds Laboratoryfor the Geophysical Sciences, where hisoffice and laboratory are located, hopingto spot a telltale funnel. It's small compensation that he can create a "tornado"anytime he wants to, by turning on a miniature tornado-geherating machine inhis laboratory that crudely simulates atwister. Fujita designed the machine andhad it built in the department's machineshop. His students find it great fun towatch him create a "tornado" for them.Usually after a tornado, Fujita receives a call from the National WeatherService with an invitation to fly over anarea which has been hit, to examine thei damage. He has flown over 20,000 miles, surveying the devastation left in the wakei of some 250 storms.Once, while teaching his class on atmosphere, Fujita received a call from Mid-; way Airport, alerting him to the fact that\ there was a tornado nearby, and invitingI him to view the aftermath."I told the class I'd have to leaveabout ten minutes early. When one of thestudents later became a reporter, he said Iran out all the time, to see tornadoes, butthat's not true," commented Fujita.One wall of Fujita's laboratory islined with fifty slim horizontal file slots.. Each day, his staff places into these filesdata which is sent from weather stationsall over the United States and its ter-< ritories. Across the hall in another office; the entire wall from floor to ceiling isi covered with hundreds of constantly up-') dated weather maps which show the pat-,( terns of storm activities in the fifty states.) Unlike many of his colleagues, who. concentrate their research on the meteorological signs to be found in the skies,i Fujita says the clues to tornadoes are to be''¦ found on the ground.'Tornadoes are like criminals whocannot get away without leaving theirfingerprints," he says.He gauges the intensity of storms notso much from damage to populated areas(which are hit by only a small percentage of tornadoes) as from analysis of swirlpatterns dug out of rural earth and crops."Corn and other brittle vegetationare excellent markers," said Fujita, "butwheat is no good as a marker because itbends like a willow tree."In the future, "Mr. Tornado" mayhave to curtail some of his detective workover cornfields, or risk incurring the wrathof farmers suspicious that he is looking forillegal crops."I got a warning from some localpolice saying I should be careful flyingover cornfields because some farmersgrow marijuana in them. If they see a low-flying helicopter, they may pull out shotguns," he said, with a laugh.Actually, by studying the groundclues left after a tornado, Fujita can amassan impressive array of facts about thecharacteristics of a tornado, including itsmotion and velocity.In the past, one of the problemsmeteorologists encountered in studyingtornadoes was the lack of an objectivescale on which to measure and comparethese phenomena. With his friend AllenPearson, the retired former director of theNational Severe Storms Forecast Center,Fujita devised what is now a standard tornado intensity scale. Known as the FujitaScale, it classifies tornadoes according tothe damage they have caused. The six-point scale ranges from F-0 (light damage)to F-5 (incredible damage). (See illustration on Page 10.) Each F rating correlateswith a range of wind speeds; the speedsreflect a combination of rotational andforward velocity.The Fujita Scale is used to classifytornadoes much as the Richter Scale isused to measure earthquakes.The U.S. Weather Service first begankeeping records of tornadoes in 1916; it has recorded 26,000 since then. Fujita fedthe statistics on these into a computer,and found that the majority of these tornadoes had been in the F-0 (light damage)to F-2 (considerable damage) classification. But 3,407, or about 13 percent, wereclassified as having been in the F-3 (severedamage), F-4 (devastating damage) or F-5(incredible damage) categories.In analyzing the path lengths of these26,000 tornadoes, Fujita made a remarkable discovery. He found that twisters occur in two distinct geographical groups,separated by a "dividing zone" that runsnorth by northeast from eastern Texas toMichigan's Upper Peninsula. In the east,tornadoes tend to become active earlyin the year, beginning in February inAlabama and Mississippi. They becomemore numerous in March and peak inApril. Tornadoes in the east, says Fujita,appear later in the day and last longerthan those in the western part of the country. Moreover, tornadoes which occur inthe east tend to have more "super outbreaks," in which many tornadoes occursimultaneously.Meteorologists are experimentingwith an early warning system for tornadoes using Doppler radar. This specialized radar is based on a phenomenon firstdescribed by a 19th century Austrianphysicist, Christian Doppler. He observedthat the pitch of sound from an approaching object, such as a train whistle, soundshigher when the object (train) is movingtoward the listener, and lower as itmoves away.Doppler weather radar works likeconventional radar, which locates objectsby bouncing a radio pulse off them andmeasuring the time it takes for this echoto return. If Doppler radar signals arebounced off wind-whipped raindropsmiles away, the raindrops blowing towardthe antennas give higher frequencies thanthose blowing away from them. Highspeed computers at the weather stationsthen analyze the contrast frequencies andtranslate them into color "signatures" ondisplay screens.By examining these color patterns,meteorologists can "read" the storm'swind pattern. Shades of red indicate windmoving away from the radar at variousspeeds, while shades of green indicatewind moving toward it.However, Doppler radar has limitations. Its beam can only scan a fan-shapedarea. It can only measure speeds of windsmoving toward or away from it; it cannotmeasure winds which move at right anglesll»#:- ^ 'A/f.% ¦> ^ ¦;- is >-2|«^.-(«. .AIRFLOW IN A DOWNBURSTTornadoes' Fingerprints.

As many as seven suction vortices may orbitthe center of a tornado as it travels along, leaving a cycloidal trail of flattened vegetation (I.) or a small inner whirlwind may spin briefly in oneplace leaving a solitary swirl (r.) Diagram to the right illustrates theeffects of a downburst.to it; and simple rotating winds may appear as tornadoes in the signature. Furthermore, Doppler radar could easily bedamaged by lightning.Fujita thinks weather bureaus are ill-advised in installing Doppler radar equipment to detect all tornadoes. He thinksthat even if more people were trained tointerpret the Doppler radar signatures,experienced spotters looking out the window would still sight tornadoes moreaccurately.The JAWS (Joint Airport WeatherStudies) Project, a $2.2 million studywhich was financed mainly by the National Science Foundation, was a joint ventureof University of Chicago, National Centerfor Atmospheric Research (NCAR), and adozen other groups. The data were gathered over a 5,000 square mile area outsideDenver, including Stapleton International Airport, the nation's fifth-busiest airport.JAWS scientists were examining meteorological conditions which emanatefrom thunderstorms that create hazardsfor aircraft during takeoff s and landings.On July 9, 1982, a Boeing 727, takingoff from New Orleans International Airport, roared off for a brief flight, whichended in a fiery crash that killed all 145persons aboard and eight others on theground. Scientists think that the cause ofthe crash was wind shear.A wind shear is a sudden local shiftin wind direction or speed. This shift isfamiliar to most pilots; it poses a deadlythreat to aircraft at low altitudes. An aircraft is vulnerable to wind shear because ittemporarily changes the speed of air flowing over the wings, which in turn changesthe amount of lift the wings provide.When a plane flies into a strong head wind, the added lift may send it upward.Likewise, when a pilot is not expecting atailwind, it can cause the plane to drop.Federal investigators first began toconcentrate on wind shear as a danger tolow-flying aircraft after the crash ofanother Boeing 727, which crashed whilelanding during a thunderstorm at John F.Kennedy International Airport in NewYork City on June 24, 1975, killing all buteleven of the 124 people aboard.At the time, Fujita thought that theexplanation of wind shear as the cause ofthe crash was incomplete."I immediately thought this was astrange wind shear," he said. He waspuzzled that only six of the eleven aircraftthat landed before the doomed plane hadencountered wind shear, and that eachmet with very different conditions.At the time, meteorologists thought12 UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINE/Winter 1983most of the dangerous wind shear wascaused by a gust front, which is a broadband of winds that sometimes precede aline of thunderstorms. But a gust frontshould have affected all the planes atKennedy.While examining the crash reports,Fujita recalled a strange weather phenomenon he had first seen while flying overWest Virginia after a remarkable outbreakof 148 tornadoes in the U.S. and Canadaon April 3, 1974. He had found, far fromthe tornado paths, areas where trees hadbeen blown down in a star-burst pattern,as if a giant garden hose had been aimeddown at them.Fujita felt it was unlikely that thiscould have been caused by a conventionaldowndraft. Downdrafts are columns ofsinking air that develop in thunderstorms.However, air in these columns usuallyloses speed long before reaching theground."I thought at the time that this mightbe the result of a very strong downflow,"Fujita said, "but until the JFK accident, Icouldn't believe it."After examining the JFK evidence,Fujita named the phenomenon: down-burst, a downdraft with speeds of up to 60miles an hour, that hits the ground andthen spreads horizontally in a radial burstof wind.Fujita showed that the JFK accidentcould have been caused by a series ofdownbursts hitting the approach to therunway.In 1978, in a study near Chicago using three Doppler radars, Fujita identifiedas many as ten downbursts, including onethat raised 70-mile-an-hour gusts as itspread horizontally only 50 to 100 feetabove the ground. This downburst had adiameter of only two miles, "a size thatcould fit into an airport," said Fujita. Hecoined a new term — microbursts — fordownbursts that are less than two-and-a-half miles across. Fujita was able to identify microbursts by using Doppler radar.A microburst makes a distinct pattern onthe screen. This past summer, Fujita andhis colleagues on the JAWS Project found,to their surprise, that microbursts oftenlast no more than a couple of minutes.Moreover, they found that the darkest thunderclouds do not always hidethe most dangerous microbursts. Instead,most microbursts in the Denver area seemto emanate from a spectacularly beautifulweather phenomenon known as virga,during which a misty rain falling from acloud evaporates before it reaches the ground. The evaporation cools the air,so that it plunges downward throughwarmer, lighter air below.However, says Fujita, "We might findthat dry areas, like Denver, have onetype, while wet areas, like New Orleans,Atlanta, and Chicago, have another."At this writing, while scientists thinkmicrobursts may cause the majority ofwind shear accidents, they are not surejust what means would be effective to givepilots sufficient warning. Based on thenew knowledge that microbursts last foronly a few moments, it has been suggestedthat providing air controllers with minute-to-minute wind conditions could beuseful to pilots.Fujita recommends that pilots avoidlanding at an airport if winds unexpectedly increase by 10 to 15 miles an houron approach.He also suggests that if there happensto be a small shower on the airport or inthe line of flight, pilots should wait one ortwo minutes, or until the shower moves,before attempting to take off.One result of the JAWS Project wasthe realization that a ground-base network of anemometers (wind gauges) is inadequate. Doppler radar, when installedin airports, will provide some warning,but Fujita feels it is not totally reliable.Recently, Fujita has turned his attention to more distant storms in anotherunique cooperative project.He coordinated the first attempt toproduce stereoscopic photographs ofcloud formations over an ocean.The effort, sponsored by NASA andthe Japanese Meteorological Agency,relies on the Japanese Himawari ("Sunflower") weather satellite and the U.S.GOES West satellite to take synchronizedphotographs of clouds over the PacificOcean. The purpose, said Fujita, is to learnhow the clouds affect the formation oftyphoons that often strike Japan and thePhilippines.Both satellites hover above the equator in 22,000-mile-high geosynchronousorbits, their motion and the earth's rotation holding them fixed relative to theearth's surface.From their positions south of Tokyoand southeast of San Francisco, the satellites together view more than a millionsquare miles of ocean.Fujita said the zone has cloud distributions entirely unlike those over the continental United States.At this early stage in the project,Fujita said, one or two photographs amonth are sufficient. He and his colleagues use the photographs in calculatingcloud heights to an accuracy of about 200meters — adequate, Fujita believes, to addsignificantly to the understanding of Pacific storms.Between summer and autumn quarters, Fujita took a quick trip to Japan tocheck up on the project. Now he's back,and if you happen to be in Hyde Park during a thunderstorm, take a look up at theroof of the Henry Hinds Laboratory forGeophysical Sciences. Chances are you'llspot a figure standing there, unmindful ofthe downpour. It will no doubt be "Mr.Tornado," hoping to add another sightingto his life list.

But the same empiricalimpulse has always motivated histrend- setting research.EORGE STIGLERBy James GraffRESHAPINGECONOMICS:THEIMPACTOF the Treatise. When innocentcolleagues asked him what heplanned to do over the summer,he'd tell them he was going towork on his Treatise.The world at large got a glimpse ofthat wry wit recently when Stigler wasawarded the Nobel Prize in EconomicScience; in fact, the press had a regularfield day with it. What does Stigler thinkabout the heavy emphasis reporters haveplaced on this jocularity? "Well, I supposeit's alright as long as people don't think Ioutclassed Bob Hope and won the prizeon that basis."No one familiar with his work is likely to think so. Stigler was appointed TheCharles R. Walgreen Distinguished Service Professor of American Institutions inthe Department of Economics and theGraduate School of Business in 1958. Heretired from that post last year, but he remains director of the Center for the Studyof the Economy and the State at the Graduate School of Business, as well as editorof the Journal of Political Economy. At71, he continues to carry a full load ofteaching and research.Since its beginning with a Ph.D. fromthe University in 1938, George Stigler'scareer has done more than contribute tothe knowledge of economic processes; it has helped define the contours of thediscipline itself. The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences praised Stigler for hisj"seminal studies of industrial structures,!functioning of markets and the causes and Ieffects of public regulation."Stigler is the thirteenth American to ]win the Nobel Prize in economics since itsestablishment in 1969, and the eighth to jbe associated with the University. Two of jthe others, Milton Friedman, AM'33, the]Paul Snowden Russell Distinguished Serv- jice Professor in Economics, and Theodore IW. Schultz, the Charles L. HutchinsonDistinguished Service Professor Emeritusin Economics, were teaching at the Uni- 1versity when honored; six further laureates were either students or former facultymembers here. The Nobel record clearlyattests to the pervasive influence of the so-called "Chicago School" on contemporaryeconomic thought.Common to all of Stigler's research—and indeed, to the "Chicago School"— isthe conviction that solid empirical evidence, not elegant theory, is the hallmarkof good economic science. Stigler hasapplied his rigorous standards chiefly inthe fields of industrial organization andthe economics of regulation."George is the dominant person in 1the field of industrial organization and hasinfluenced the research of almost everyEORGE STIGLERUNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINE Winter 19831 ifty-one recipients of the NobelPrize have been alumni, researchers, or faculty at the University ofCh cago.Eight of the thirteen personswh o won the Nobel Prize foreconomics have been associatedwith the University.Stigler and Friedman were onthe faculty at the time they receivedthe Nobel, as was Schultz, listedbel 3W.Alumni:Milton Friedman, AM'33, 1976Paul A.

Klein, 1980. economist in his field," says Gary Becker,University Professor in the Department ofEconomics.Stigler considers his work on theeconomics of information his most important academic contribution. He was thefirst to present "a treatment of information as a commodity that can be boughtand sold." Stigler showed that one continues to acquire information until thecost of getting more exceeds the benefit;he thus made the analysis of information,defined in the broadest possible way, susceptible to methods previously appliedonly to hard data like price. Stigler's earlyapplication of the traditional tools ofeconomic analysis to new areas openedthe door for scholars like Becker, who hasgone on to analyze the economics of suchthings as family relationships and suicide.Throughout the fifties and sixties,Stigler published articles on mergers,oligopoly, and other topics of industrialorganization."Stigler was one of the first to makeindustrial organization a rigorous branchof microeconomics rather than the largelydescriptive and anecdotal field it had beenbefore," says Richard A. Posner, judge forthe Seventh Circuit of the United StatesCourt of Appeals and senior lecturer inthe Law School. "His views have come tohave significant impact on the field ofantitrust." Posner also considers Stigler"the leading scholar in the world" in thehistory of economic science.Stigler's work in industrial organization is complemented by his extensivestudies of regulation and the state asan economic actor. "George essentiallystarted the economics of regulation byhimself," says Sam Peltzman, PhD'65,professor in the Graduate School ofBusiness. Stigler took a long look at theway traditional microeconomics looks atregulation, and then put a new questionon the field's agenda."George was the first person to ask,'Does the policy really work the way thestory says it does?'," says Rodney T.Smith, PhD'76, associate director of theCenter for the Study of the Economy andthe State and a visiting assistant professorin the Graduate School of Business. "Helooked at the actual as opposed to thepromised effects of laws and found thatthe preambles of laws are poor predictorsof their actual performance." Stiglerlooked at the Food and Drug Act, for example, which aimed to protect the consumer from unsafe products, and foundthat in reality, its chief effect was to slowthe introduction of new products acrossthe board, whether good or bad. "It's typical that George did not draw the inference that the law should be repealed,"Smith observes. "He was only interestedin showing its effects for what they are."Despite Stigler's acknowledged reputation as a conservative, his economicresearch has always sought to explainrather than prescribe. It is in this respectthat he differs from his colleague and closefriend Milton Friedman."Milton's out to save the world,"Stigler told a reporter from the New YorkTimes, "and I'm out to understand it."This positivist attitude was put inparticularly high relief in the late sixties,when studies of actual regulatory effectsshowed many instances of costs exceedingbenefits. "Some said, 'Deregulate, we'veobviously got too many regulations,' "Smith remembers. "But George said thatthe trend was too pervasive to dismiss as amistake." Stigler turned instead to secondorder questions: why does the government regulate some areas and leave otherscompletely untouched? What needs arereally being addressed when the government decides to regulate a given market?One direct result of Stigler's Nobel Prize,according to Smith, is that these questionswill be addressed by more and moreyounger economists in coming years,Among them will be Sam Peltzman andSmith himself.Stigler, whose wife, Margaret, diedin 1970, lives in Flossmoor where the tripto the beloved golf course is still reasonable. He has three sons: Stephen, a professor in the Department of Statistics andthe College; David, JD'68, an attorneyfor Heublein, Inc.; and Joseph, a socialworker in Toronto.Stigler has many devoted fans amonghis colleagues and former students. Oneof them, Claudia Rosett Gressel, MBA'81,daughter of Dean Richard N. Rosett of theGraduate School of Business and a woman of considerable wit herself, wrote thefollowing paean to George Stigler on theoccasion of the Nobel Prize.Today you've made a hole-in-oneOn life's great laissez-faire-way.For TV stations round the worldIt's Stigler-on-the-air-day .If Adam Smith could join us hereHe'd surely lend a handTo toast a friend who's always doneSo much to meet demandFrom your warmth and wit and humorTo your work on regulationsIn our book you have always beenA walking Wealth of Nations. * B* '^1982.

Tribune and the journal ScholarlyPublishing have called the Manual a bible.77?e London Times Literary Supplementhas said "the style manual of the ChicagoPress stands alone, and has done so formany years . . . The arrangement of thesubjects and their presentation to the eyeare impeccable." And from that eminentsource of blurbs, The New York Times, 1quote, "For more than six decades theUniversity of Chicago Press's 'Manual ofStyle ... has been teacher, guide, andfriend to authors, editors, publishers, andprinting houses ... [It] remains a classicin its field." (Please note the "s's" inPress's.)If such praise seems extraordinary fora work that reigns over the phobia-inducing, rule-bound region of grammar — for abook that does not mention cats, diets, orheroines with pounding hearts — then consider, too, the Manual's sales record. Arecent study concluded that the averagescholarly monograph, the chief product ofuniversity presses, sells a total of 1,300copies. The Manual, in its twelve earliereditions, has sold well over 300,000copies. The new, thirteenth edition, justpublished by the University of ChicagoPress, promises to sell 30,000 copies in itsfirst year.As I indicated, the thirteenth editionhas a new name. Since it was first published in 1906 the book had been knownas The Manual of Style. In this edition,the editors, "bowing to what has becomenearly universal usage now call it whateverybody else calls it, The ChicagoManual of Style."When it first appeared, the Manual" dOuh;cUNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINE Winter 1 983was described as "Being a Compilation ofthe Typographical Rules in Force at theUniversity of Chicago Press to Which AreAppended Specimens of Type in Use."The first edition included instructionsfor the copyholder, an employee whoonce read aloud from a manuscript whilea proofreader followed its type."Cultivate a low, soft clear readingvoice," urged the Manual. "Do not imagine that it is necessary for everyone inthe room to hear you."Vast changes, both technological andprofessional, have taken place in publishing since 1906, and the Manual has beenchanged constantly to reflect these.While it is known that this publication grew out of a single sheet of typesetting fundamentals, it is difficult tosketch a further history, for the Press doesnot have copies of the second throughtenth editions. What is known is that theManual quickly became a standard reference work for trade and scholarly publishers, offering comprehensive advice oneditorial and authorial as well printingmatters. Indeed, the larger part of theManual's audience is made up of personsin search of the rules pertaining to punctuation, capitalization, hyphenation, orabbreviation; of editors who want tostandardize quotations, bibliographies,proper names, and foreign terms; ofwriters who would learn how to prepare atypescript for publication, read proof, ormake an index.I have not mentioned questions ofliterary style, for the Manual offers no advice on how to write. Moreover, it is not abook on word usage, nor is it meant to provide the last word. The authors havenoticed a "growing tendency" among itsreaders to regard its advice on style andcomposition as "irrevocable as the onlyway." Prefaces to the Manual have triedto caution readers that "Rules and regulations such as these . . . cannot be endowed with the fixity of rock-ribbed law."Rather, those offered "are for the averagecase, and must be applied with a certaindegree of elasticity . . . They point theway and survey the road, rather thanremove the obstacles, [and] where noquestion of good taste or good logic is involved, deference should be shown to theexpressed wishes of the author." (Boy, ifonly I'd had that to try out on my Englishprofessor.)The same two dedicated editors ofthe twelfth edition, Catharine Seyboldand Bruce Young, AB'38, AM'40, collaborated on editing the thirteenth edition.When the twelfth edition came out in1969, twenty years had passed since theeleventh was issued, and "the technological and other changes between these twoeditions required that the twelfth be essentially written from scratch. The writing ofit was an extreme challenge," recalledSeybold.The thirteenth edition has been revised considerably from its predecessorvolume, to keep pace with changes in publishing practices. The new version contains more "how-to" examples than everbefore.Most manuscripts are yet bulky bundles of double-spaced typescript. Many,however, arrive at the publisher's in theform of computer tape or a word proces sor printout. At the printing end of publishing, people before boxes of type havebeen replaced by people before cathode-ray tubes, tape translators, and line scanners. The new Manual — structured, aswas the twelfth edition — to reflect thestep-by-step creation of a book — explainsthese technologies and the changes theyhave wrought that editors might ply theirblue pencils without spindling or mutilating. This edition, for instance, defines aword processor and gives instructions onhow to deal with its products. It alsocovers the recent overhaul of the copyright laws.Included is a section of tables for conversion of Chinese Romanization, fromthe Wade-Giles version to Pinyin. For thissection, editor Seybold enlisted the aid ofEast Asian scholars at leading universities.Reflecting other important socialchanges, the authors state, in a section foreditors entitled "Watching for lapses,"that the editor is "expected to catch errorsor infelicities of expression that mar anauthor's prose. Such matters includedangling or misplaced modifiers . . .[and] racist or sexist connotations." Theydo not explicitly spell out how to avoidsexist connotations, but in a footnoterefer the reader to other sources for suchsuggestions.Both authors are now retired fromthe Press; Seybold was senior manuscripteditor, and Young was managing editor.Speaking before a book group aboutthe Manual Seybold remarked:"It takes a lot of nerve to stand upand confess to being co-author of a bookthat's known as a bible to the profession."ai^xlnn runs along Lake Michigan daily :Mike Afrom his home inChicago in background.Photo, Jean-Claude LeieuneHyde Park.

Suddenly the supportive environment of college facilities, teammates, and coaches isgone. The lone athlete faces the doublechallenge of starting a career and stayingin top shape.But for Michael Axinn, AB'82, whograduated last June from the University ofChicago after three years as one of thefinest distance runners ever to wear themaroon, life beyond Stagg Field poses noextraordinary difficulties. In fact, he says« it often seems easier."From nine to five I'm on the job, butKevin Shyne, an Evanstonl'IL free-lancewriter, himself a runner, writes for several running publications.once I get home the time is all mine,"he said.Axinn spoke about his life on the runone evening this fall outside his office atLeo Burnett Company, Inc., Chicago'sgiant advertising agency. Clad in shorts,running shoes and a jaunty yellow cap-he was going for a seven-mile run alongthe lakefront — Axinn appeared relaxedand confident about this new stage ofhis life."People say once I get serious aboutrunning, I won't be able to work full-time,too. But I don't believe them," he said.Axinn's confidence is just one aspectof the relaxed approach to running whichserved him well in the College. For Axinn,running is not so much a win-at-all-costsproposition as a vehicle for personalgrowth and satisfaction."The more relaxed I am about it, thebetter I run," he says.Not that Axinn doesn't take runningseriously or train intensely. His intervalworkouts of fast half-miles with shortrests in between are grueling. But he triesto keep his sport in a perspective largerthan record times and first places."It feels good to run swiftly along.I've loved to do it since I was a kid. But Icouldn't feel comfortable making it thecenter of my life. There's much more tolife than running," he said.Axinn started running in junior highschool in Glen Cove, NY. A good but notgreat miler (his fastest mile time in highschool was 4:40), he decided to start training hard during his senior year at SyossetHigh School. Looking back, he recalls:"Something inside me said I could begood. I started to feel the joy of spendingtime every day just running."Axinn picked the University of Chicago over several other schools because ofits academic reputation. Another factorwas an encouraging interview with longtime track coach Ted Haydon, PhB'33,AM'54, professor of Physical Educationand Athletics."Ted said You'll have a great time ifyou come to the U. of C. You'll enjoy ourprogram.' The coach at another universitytold me I'd never run on a varsity team,"recalls Axinn.Cross country and track practicequickly became Axinn's havens from theacademic grind."I'd spend all day in class workingout problems, and it didn't come all thateasily. But I could get out on the track,and the only person making demands onme was me. I could just go out and runfree," he says. Axinn thrived on Coach Haydon'straining methods. He actually ran fewermiles than in high school, but at a fasterpace. Axinn's steady training paid off inhis sophomore year. He won the NationalCollege Athletic Association's MidwestDivision III cross country championshipsand was the youngest runner to qualifyfor the 1980 Olympic Marathon Trials."Mike's the greatest distance runnerwe've ever had," commented Haydon."He holds all the school records from themile up to the marathon. He's as tough asnails, and he can overcome adversity. I'veseen him be led off course in a cross country race. But he came back, passed everyone and still won the race."By the time Axinn graduated, he hadestablished himself as a national class runner. He won the Midwest Division IIIcross country championships three yearsin a row and represented the United Statesat the Maccabiah Games in Israel. Heplaced second in the 1981 Division IIIcross country nationals. Axinn was also atwo-time winner of the University's BondMedal as the leading scorer of the varsitytrack team. As a senior he was awardedthe Amos Alonzo Stagg Medal for the bestall-around record for athletics, scholarship, and character.Yet for all these athletic honors,Axinn never let running dominate his life.On a typical day he was up around 9:00a.m. and in class all morning. He studiedin the library until 4:00 p.m., then went totrack practice for three hours. After dinner he studied until midnight or 1:00 a.m."I never really got enough work doneuntil after the big meets," admits Axinn, apolitical science major who also wrote forThe Chicago Maroon and was active inthe ad hoc Student Committee on PoliticalScience. Sometimes an all-nighter was theonly way to catch up. He once finishedtwo papers in three days by working allnight, breaking at 5:30 a.m. for a ten-milerun, and finishing the paper by 5:00 p.m.Then he took another run, caught a fewhours of sleep and started the next paper."I always considered these times a lotof fun. Even though it was crazy, I feltthat I was learning a lot. I could neverhave pulled it off during the height of thetrack season," he says.Axinn adds that his educationwouldn't have been complete without TedHaydon."I was a lot more impetuous when Icame here. If I didn't like something, I'dsay something. But from Ted I learned tosit back and watch things for a while. 1think I'm more open-minded now to dif-UN1VERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINE/ Winter 1983ferent types of people."Haydon also helped Axinn develophis B.A. paper, a study of the effects ofthe Daley administration on Chicagoneighborhoods. It's a subject of deepinterest to Haydon. During the 1930sand 1940s he was a social worker inthe famous Chicago Area Projects, andorganized self-help programs in poorneighborhoods.Axinn's interest in writing led him toadvertising as a possible career. Serendip-itously, it was running that opened thedoor at Leo Burnett. As a guest athlete ata fund raiser for the Olympics, Axinn meta Burnett executive who introduced himto his future boss, a creative director whoalso happened to be a runner."We hit it off right from the start,"said Axinn.Today Axinn shares a Hyde Parkapartment with a friend who ran varsitytrack at Yale. He runs about 90 to 100 miles a week, often at Stagg Field or inWashington Park. For a change of pace hezips over to the city tennis courts acrossfrom his office, changes in the lockerroom and runs along the lakefront.The friendship between Axinn andHaydon still flourishes; Axinn runs withthe University of Chicago Track Club, anoutgrowth of the varsity track programwhich maintains a year-round schedule ofmeets and races open to all comers. Faculty, students, and Chicago residents all runfor the Chicago Track Club, as it's called.Axinn also runs for the Leo Burnett running team, one of the strongest corporaterunning teams in Chicago.Enthusiastic about embarking on awriting career, Axinn sees Leo Burnett asa great place to gain a wide range ofexperience."I just consider this a time for learning. Certainly I'd like to get some of mycommercials through, but that's a long Mike Axinn and friend, Edward M. (Ted)Haydon. professor of physical education andtrack coach.way off. It's more important now thatI improve and do a lot of writing," hecommented.Besides writing professionally, Axinnkeeps a journal and says he'd eventuallylike to write free-lance magazine articlesand fiction.As for running, Axinn's goals are tomake the U.S. team for the World CrossCountry Championships next spring, andto qualify for a European track and fieldtour next summer. He also wants to qualify for the 1984 Olympic Marathon Trials.In the long run whether Mike Axinntops his collegiate running record may beless important than the attitudes andvalues he develops along the way. On thatscore he already seems to be way ahead ofthe pack. 9prehensive Law of the Sea. As things nowstand, the United States will very likelynot be among the countries ratifying thatconstitution, for the simple reason that itwill not have signed the treaty creating it.It will, nonetheless, have to observe thelaws set forth in the treaty, or face enormous pressure from the world community.The oceans cover close to seventypercent of the surface of the earth. In1967, with a view toward the potentiallygreat value of ocean resources, and withthe foresight that ocean space as territorywould become a major bone of contentionamong the 180 or so countries that nowexist in the world, the Maltese Ambassador to the United Nations, an international legal scholar named Arvid Pardo,proposed to the U.N. General Assemblythat the oceans be defined as the commonheritage of mankind. His initiative laid thebasis for a new Law of the Sea Conference, which is known as UNCLOS III—the United Natons Conference on the Lawof the Sea III. (There had been twoprevious such conferences, much moremodest in scope, in 1958 and 1960.)The 1958-1960 Law of the Sea Conventions had attempted, for the first time,yw to put into treaty form some agreementabout various aspects of territorial jurisdictions over the oceans, and the ways inwhich ocean resources may be used.Out of those earlier conferences hadcome a Law of the Sea, in time acceptedby most of the international community.However, some issues were not resolvedbecause there wasn't complete consensusabout them.

Also,the widespread belief that the oceans areassociated with vast potential wealth hasgiven additional impetus to UNCLOS IIIand the discussions that took place there.After a series of meetings, the first ofwhich was in Caracas in 1974, UNCLOSIII has arrived at a final draft treaty. OnApril 30 almost all the countries of theworld approved the new proposed oceanic constitution by a vote of 130 to 4. Therewere seventeen abstentions. The UnitedStates was one of the four countries voting against the treaty. The other threenegative votes were by Turkey, Venezuela, and Brazil.Why did the United States voteagainst it? Until the present administration came into power, the United Stateshad been very much a leader, through itsdelegation, in formulating the nature ofthe treaty and its legal code.During much of the Carter regime theU.S. delegation was chaired by ElliotRichardson, former attorney general,former U.S. Ambassador to the UnitedKingdom, and a Republican. UnderRichardson's chairmanship, the U.S. hadplaced a high premium on certain navigation rights, particularly those whichwould permit military or naval vessels totraverse international straits without hindrance, even though those straits mightcome under the jurisdiction of the riparianstates that border these waters. The U.S.also had placed a very high value onlimiting the extent to which individualcountries could claim the waters of theocean or seabed resources offshore.Some countries argued that theyought to be able to claim oceanic territoryoffshore as far as possible, until they metthe counterclaims of some other states.For example, under this so-called "worldlake" doctrine, Brazil might have claimedthe South Atlantic Ocean eastward to aline dividing the ocean into two equalparts. Brazil would thereby almost havedoubled its territory, and it is already oneof the largest countries in the world.Similarly, the U.S. conceivably couldhave claimed almost half the north PacificOcean from our continental shores, evenwithout Hawaii. The United States's position consistently has been that there oughtto be some reasonable limits on suchjurisdictional claims.Under the new treaty an individualcountry can claim as its territorial sea anocean area no more than twelve miles inwidth. This is not entirely new; manycountries have claimed a territorial sea of that size in the past, although until thelast five years most had claimed onlythree miles.Under the treaty each country alsowill be entitled to exclusive control overthe resources of the water column and theseabed below it to a distance of 200nautical miles offshore.In addition, the treaty permits eachcountry to claim exclusive rights to theresources of its continental shelf, as far asthat shelf extends from land. The continental shelf is defined as the submarineextension of the land area of a country,but there is disagreement as to the outerlimits of the continental shelf, because theshelf edge, which one might assume issharp and easily marked is in fact extremely irregular. For this reason the treaty issomewhat flexible in its language abouthow the shelf limits will be defined, andthis factor has led to some unease.From the United States's view, having clear recognition of the riparian state'sclaim to the resources of the continentalshelf is important because, in fact, it is onthe continental shelves of the world thatmost of the more immediately valuablemineral resources of the seabed are found,particularly hydrocarbons such as petroleum and natural gas. In fact about thirtypercent of the world's present productionof petroleum and natural gas comes fromcontinental shelf areas.The United States, of course, also hasinterests in deep seabed mining. The chiefdeep seabed resources are the so-calledmanganese nodules, potato-shaped andsized, and usually found in depths beyond3,000 meters, which contain, in additionto manganese oxide, substantial quantitiesof copper, nickel, and cobalt. Nickel,cobalt, and manganese are not availablein quantity in the United States. So therehas been continuous pressure on the U.S.delegation to UNCLOS III to protectAmerican strategic interests with regard tothese minerals, as well as those of miningcompanies interested in extracting them.Until recently, however, the American position has been that, although theseare very abundant resources, they are notreadily accessible. That is, seabed miningtechnology is unproven and uneconomicat present ore price levels, and thereforemining is not likely to take place for manyyears, if ever.By and large the poorer countries, inthe course of the UNCLOS III negotiations, have displayed the most virulentkind of nineteenth century territorial acquisitiveness. They have been very insistent on getting a cut of the pie, and it was It's unlikely that theUnited States willratify the new Lawof the Sea, but itwill, nonetheless,have to observe thelaws set forth in it.The administrationdistrusts and dislikesthe idea of havingan internationalagency controllingthe resources of theseabed as part of theso-called commonheritage of mankind. they who forced into the treaty the establishment of a Seabed Authority, whichwould be a United Nations agency, entrusted with the exclusive right to minethe seabed and obtain the proceeds fromthat mining. This would set up a UnitedNations organization that could enter intocontracts with private companies, andwould behave as a public corporation,like the TVA, for example.The present administration's view ofall this is that they want both the navigation provisions of the treaty and theassurance that there is some limit to theterritorial claims of countries in adjoiningocean space. However, it distrusts anddislikes the idea of having an internationalagency controlling the resources of theseabed as part of the so-called commonheritage of mankind.One reason for this position has beenconcern for security. The seabed mineralsare important for military purposes. Therealso has been strong lobbying on the partof several mining consortia which alreadyhave a considerable investment in deepseabed mining technology, and whichhave been hostile to the notion of an international agency controlling theirenterprises.There has also been a hidden agendaitem, in my opinion, that not only concerns deep seabed mining provisions ofthe treaty, but other parts as well. It iswidely believed in the administration thatin reaching agreement about so comprehensive a treaty, this country would surrender too much of its sovereignty and,therefore, independence of future action.When the United States announcedthat it would not approve what was then adraft of the treaty, consternation reignedamong most countries, and dismay andhostility were displayed toward us. Someattempt was made under the leadership ofAmbassador Tommy Koh of Singapore,an able young lawyer of great ability,with the aid of ten or eleven interestedcountries, to revise the treaty to meetsome of the United States's objections. Forexample, it was proposed and acceptedwith some reluctance that several miningconsortia, which have been engaged in exploratory seabed mining activity andthree (out of four) of which have American partners, would be given first preference in contract agreements with theSeabed Authority for the next thirty orforty years. But the residual rights ofthose resources would remain with aUnited Nations agency, the SeabedAuthority, as custodian for humankind.There also was concern over the fact that the United States was not guaranteed aseat on the executive committee of the Seabed Authority. Ambassador Koh and hiscolleagues worked it out so that the UnitedStates was guaranteed a seat. There wereother attempts to appease the Americans,but when the treaty came up for a vote, theUnited States voted against it.There are a few other points worthmentioning in this context. Written intothe treaty is a requirement for the transferof technology, particularly mining techniques, from the corporations and consortia that would be doing the mining undercontract to the Seabed Authority. Thetechnology would be transferred throughthe Seabed Authority to underdevelopedcountries that do not have such technology. Some of the mining companies,understandably, object to that provisionon the grounds that the knowledge isvaluable and, in effect, they would be required to surrender it without adequatecompensation. The issue of transfer oftechnology is a very important one for thepoorer countries, and they are reluctant tocompromise on this issue.Another factor was that the provisions of the treaty must be reviewed everytwenty years, and this has raised someproblems on the American side, evenapart from some uncertainty about thefuture. Once a treaty has been approvedby the Senate, it would be necessary tobring changes in it before the Senate, anawkward problem both procedurally andjudicially.Finally, the Law of the Sea providesfor establishing an International SeabedTribunal under the Seabed Authority,which will resolve disputes about seabedmining and other matters relating to theoceans. There is some concern as to theway the members of the judicial bodywould be appointed.The administration's position is notlikely to change, and when the treatycomes up for a vote in December inKingston, Jamaica, the United States mightonly go so far as to abstain. I cannot imagine that it would vote for the treaty,though hope springs eternal. About 140countries probably will approve the treatyat that time. Thereafter the treaty will goto the individual countries for their approval. If the United States were to sign it,the treaty would,' of course, have to gobefore the Senate. In any event, it willtake several years before a plurality ofcountries— I believe it would have to besixty — will approve it.Once approved, the treaty will become a new constitution for the oceans,2o UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINE/Winter 1983which will provide a global set of rulesand regulations for administering, managing, and partitioning ocean space andresources. In due course more countriesthan the minimum will approve the treaty. Any disputes that may be broughtbefore the new International SeabedTribunal will be set within the context ofthis agreement, and any country whichdoes not observe its provisions will be inan undesirable position with regard to anylitigation involved.If the United States is not a signatorof that treaty, it nonetheless will be undervery great pressure to abide by its provisions. World opinion would be very muchagainst any country which refuses torecognize at least the major provisions ofsuch a treaty, whether or not it was asignator of it.This project may not be as grievousas it appears at first, because commercialseabed mining in the areas beyond thelimits of national jurisdiction is unlikely inthe near future — twenty years or so.There may be some experimental mining,but not much of a commercial nature,even should mining technology be improved. But there is yet another consideration of importance. A very large quantity of the manganese nodules on the floorof the oceans lie within limits of nationaljurisdiction. To be sure, these may notbe the largest or most readily accessible, but they are bound to be attractive initially because a mining company's interestscan be secured by agreement with theriparian state under whose jurisdiction thedeposit falls.To conclude, it's worth noting thatthe same arguments which are being usedby the present administration against theLaw of the Sea are the same that havebeen employed within this country withregard to the Federal ownership of resources. There are voices raised from timeto time, some of them quite influential,which suggest that public ownership ofland and resources is somehow undesirable and un-American. In fact, about athird of the land area of the United Statesis owned by the Federal Government, andthe principle of public ownership of landand resources, for the benefit of all citizens, is quite clear in this country. Itseems odd, therefore, that the principle ofpublic ownership of territory and resourceson a global scale should not meet withacceptance, in spite of the differences incircumstances.Unless the United States changes itsposition, it runs the risk of being regardednot simply as a maverick, but as an irresponsible member of the internationalcommunity. Loss of confidence is inevitable, and credibility with regard to othermatters will be diminished. The politicalcosts, as a result, will be immense. II An earlier American view on control of theseas: J. P. Morgan to Neptune, "You may aswell slide off into the water, old chap. Thereisn't room for both of us here. I'll boss theocean from now on. "How to adapt inBy Marilyn AbbeyToday's graduate students,faced with a shrinking jobmarket in academia, mightconsider using their talents asWilliam Graham, SB'32, JD'36, did.Forced by circumstances to give up hisplans to teach chemistry, Graham becamea lawyer, and used his combined knowledge and skills in science and law to turn asmall Illinois firm which made intravenous equipment into one of the world'sleading medical products manufacturers.Along the way, he not only became richand successful, but he assisted in thedevelopment of life-saving equipment andmaterials which have helped thousandsof people.Graham, a trustee of the Universityof Chicago, is chairman of the board ofMarilyn R. Abbey is a Glencoe. IL. freelance writer. Baxter Travenol Laboratories, which hasits headquarters in Deerfield, Illinois.When Graham joined Baxter as vice president and general manager at the end ofWorld War II, it had sales of $1.6 millionand 200 employees. Today, Baxter reports$1.5 billion in sales, with 29,000 employees around the world, plants in seventeen countries, and distribution in morethan 100."We are always looking for fields inwhich we can become the leader," saidGraham. "That means we must have newor small fields in which competitors havenot become involved."This strategy has paid off; Baxter isthe leader, and more often than not wasthe pioneer, in all of its major areas ofhealth care, which include intravenoustherapy, kidney dialysis, and blood banking and therapy.During his undergraduate years inthe College Graham was a chemistry major and handball champion. He was When the depressionforced Bill Grahamto give up hisdream of teachingchemistry, heswitched to lawand ended up ashead of a Fortune500 corporate giant.William B. Grahami down economy*elected to Phi Beta Kappa and — rare foran undergraduate — to Sigma Xi, the national science honor society. He graduated first in his chemistry class, andplanned to become a teacher, ideally afterthe manner of Herman Schlesinger, SB'03,PhD'05, the brilliant Chicago scholarwho discovered the borohydrides group.Schlesinger encouraged Graham to continue his studies, even in the midst of theDepression. To earn money while in graduate school, Graham wrote test questionsfor the University Board of Examiners; atseventy cents an hour.About this time Graham's father,who had practiced law on the South Sidefor many years, died."A cousin, who was his law partner,offered to take me in as a full partner," saidGraham. "In the Depression people wereinordinately influenced by the economy. Iconcluded that this was the safer path."Graham switched to the Law Schooland graduated cum laude. By this time his combination of legal and scientific expertise had led him into a more specializedarea, and he joined a Chicago patent lawfirm. One of the clients was Baxter Laboratories, and he served on the company'sboard of directors. Dr. Ralph Falk, thenpresident of Baxter (and one of its co-founders) prevailed on Graham to jointhe firm.The firm doesn't carry the name"William B. Graham Cracker Company,"as predicted by his high school yearbook,but no one would contest the point thatthe Baxter Travenol of today is Graham'screation. In an interview he may say that"it's always a question of a team activity,"or that "timing is terribly important."Then he'll add that one should not overlook "our good fortune in being in a fieldwhich was rapidly growing. It's hard to beinnovative in a stable field, such as utilities, where changes take years to implement. In the health care field, most of ourproduct development activities, which are the lifeblood of our company, evolverapidly."After Graham assumed leadership ofBaxter, the firm doubled in size everythree-and-a-half years. Baxter Travenolcommon stock was first listed on the NewYork Stock Exchange in 1961. Ten yearslater it joined Fortune magazine's listing ofthe 500 largest American corporations. By1978 the company had topped $1 billionin sales.Graham acknowledges that he was"in a position to make significant decisions from the beginning." He kept onmaking the decisions as president andchief executive officer of Baxter from 1953to 1971, when he became chairman andchief executive officer. He continued inthis role until 1980, when he relinquishedthe chief executive function to Vernon R.Loucks, Jr.The man who seems never to havemade a bad business judgment says hewas "extremely cautious" in those firstfew years at Baxter, because "I realizedhow little I knew about manufacturing. Ifthe company had not been so small, itwould have been more difficult.""Business is in many respects likechemistry or law," he said. "It's problem-solving. So many techniques you use inone field are transferable — analytical skills,for instance. Once you have delineatedthe problem so you understand its elements, the solutions are there before you."In 1956, Graham's chemistry background enabled him to appreciate thepotential for helping kidney disease sufferers, when a Dutch physician, Dr.William Kolff , asked for backing to develop his idea for a kidney dialysis machineinto a workable commercial product. Kolffhad been turned down by two pharmaceutical manufacturers before he approachedGraham."The science of it was unquestioned,"recalled Graham, who was knowledgeable about semi-permeable membranesfrom his graduate work in chemistry.Baxter lore has it that Dr. Kolff's unwieldy invention looked "like a contraption of orange juice cans and a washingmachine."Finding a market for such a machinewas not a simple matter. At that time, itwas recognized that kidney disease sufferers needed help, but the market for anuntried machine was non-existent. Initially the dialysis machine was bought for usein poison centers, for emergency use. Dr.Kolff himself was one of the first physicians to use it, in The Cleveland Clinic.The first machines were hand-built,and the annual cost for treatment was atleast $30,000."It was several years before themedical profession was ready to use thedevice for chronically ill patients," saidGraham. "The concern was that theywould have to have a team ready at alltimes, and then maybe only one patientusing it."Today, several methods of life-savingdialysis are in widespread use, with BaxterTravenol the only company which coversthe whole field. (World-wide, approximately 160,000 people annually dependon kidney dialysis to stay alive.)Four years ago, Baxter developed The first artificialkidney machine,introduced byBaxter TravenolLaboratories, Inc.,in 1956.a new product for ambulatory dialysiswhich frees the patient from regular tripsto the hospital or dialysis center. Thepatient wears a plastic container with asolution which continuously flushes thepoisons from the abdominal cavity. Inmany cases the patient is able to go abouthis normal activities with the containerattached to his body.Baxter can claim a number of coupsin the medical care field. As early as 1939Baxter had developed the type of container which made blood storage possiblefor the first time. In the early 1950s it acquired Hyland Laboratories, which wasthe first company to market human plasma. And in the 1960s the firm developed a heart-lung oxygenator, with the help ofsurgeons Michael DeBakey and DentonCooley, which made open-heart surgery aviable option for many coronary patients.For the future, Baxter is concentrating on two broad areas, new markets inemerging countries, as the medical standards in these nations are raised, and homecare for the elderly and the chronically ill.Among the products Baxter has developedfor these markets are stable solutions ofnutrients for intravenous use, in unitswhich can be plugged into a catheter semipermanently embedded in a patient's armor chest."Our whole thrust is toward meetinga medical need," said Graham. "But youhave to be careful that you don't meet aneed not recognized by the medical profession." Baxter has a number of physicians on its staff, and maintains a liaisonwith leading researchers. Money for research is always a high priority, even inthe current recession."Our spending for research is uptwenty-five percent over 1981," saidGraham.Graham currently spends about aday and a half each week in Washington,as a member of a blue-ribbon task forceappointed by President Reagan to recommend governmental economies.He also serves on an advisory committee of environmentalists and businessmen for the National Park Foundation.A widower for almost two years,Graham still lives in his Kenilworth home.Since two of his four children and five ofhis eleven grandchildren live in the area,the house is still the center of plenty offamily activity.Graham retains his art and antique-filled suite of offices at Baxter Travenol'sheadquarters in Deerfield. Although heturned over control of everyday operations at Baxter in 1980, he still plays a rolein planning and long-range strategy."The way I visualize this is to think ofmy role as director of a number of companies," he said. "I try to make a contribution, but not a decision."As elder statesman he may, indeed,leave the decisions to others, but no onedoubts for a moment that he will still bemaking contributions. 830 UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINE/Winter 1983You Are Invitedto Join Uson a Very Special OccasionReunion 1983In a return to tradition,the University of Chicago Alumni Weekendwill be held onFriday and Saturday,June 3-4, 1983,.

WeinsteinTHE PRESIDENTS PAGEBy Beverly J. Splane, AB'67, MBA' 69 President, The Alumni AssociationAlumni typically do not like to seechanges in the institution fromwhence they sprang. The goodparts, they believe, should be retained sothat future generations may profit fromthe experiences, and the bad parts, theyfeel, should be retained so that future generations may achieve character throughsuffering. After all, look how well weturned out.I regret, therefore, to inform you ofwhat I learned when I became active inalumni affairs a few years ago. I foundthat changes had been made at the University of Chicago.Some of these changes were of majoremotional significance. New Dorm wasnow called Woodward Court, therebycompletely losing its character. Studentsno longer floated freely through theirundergraduate years, but instead becameattached at a tender age to a collegiatedivision. Worst of all, where had all thefirst-year students gone? Those younghuman beings we now had entering theUniversity were, I feel that I should whisper this, freshmen. What, I wondered,had happened to all the fifth-year, sixth-year and nth-year students, that the University could seriously consider groupingits undergraduate body into an annualizedsystem with only four categories?1 found there had also been a few substantive changes since my time, of course.Federal aid had shrunk to an alarming extent. Graduate student applications haddropped way off as employment opportunities decreased, particularly in thehumanities. The University's financialresources had become strained by inflation and the increased costs of energy.Demographic changes had been reducing[he pool of undergraduate applicants.Many top administrators had retired orbeen attracted to other institutions.Yet today, following several years ofmore changes, the sense of purpose, ofprogress, of an institution with a mission,and the general level of morale are so high that virtual strangers are moved to comment on it to one another. I have gainedthese impressions through reading entrailsand straws in the wind, but more tangibleindicators confirm them.The demographics haven't changedsignificantly, and yet the pool of applicants to the College has grown impressively in both number and in those indications of quality which can be measured.The Commission on Graduate Education,chaired by Keith Baker, has.recently completed a two year study, producing areport which contains a number of perceptive, creative recommendations forimproving the education and the quantityof graduate students without lowering thequality. Minor improvements in federaltuition assistance seem possible, and theUniversity has brought its expenditurelevels under such tight control that it isable to maintain its long-time commitment to guaranteeing that no accepted applicant will be forced to go elsewhere forlack of financial aid. Additional sourcesof revenue must be found, but the University seems to have this also well in hand.And, great as is our sorrow for the loss ofold friends, the quality of new appointments cannot be argued.Unfortunately, none of this is bringing back New Dorm, but it behooves analumna of Chicago to retain reason underpressure.The changes of recent years whichhave created the healthy state of theUniversity are paralleled by events whichhave led to the healthy state of alumnirelations. Relations between the University and its alumni have progressed, fromwhat might best have been described as anarmed truce, to the current status, whichappears to be a rapprochement, althoughsubject to the same inspection safeguardsas a freeze on nuclear weapons.Being expert at making bricks without straw, I am able to measure theemotional state of any given populationmerely by hanging around and looking intelligent, so I am certain that you willaccept my assessment without question.Certainly. Fortunately, more communicable measures do exist.A most noticeable indicator has beenthe formation of local University of Chicago Alumni Clubs. More than thirtycities or areas now have active groups ofalumni who have taken the trouble to geltogether to develop a charter and submitit for approval. Each of these clubs holdsprograms, works on fund-raising, andhelps the University recruit new students.Contributions from alumni are running at a high level. Alumni have beenmuch more active than in earlier years ininterviewing and encouraging applicantsto the College. Alumni who volunteertheir services in different aspects are nowworking together in each local area andseem to be enjoying it more.Another measurement is the surprisingly high attendance at the annual reunion in the last two years. Many of you willhave noticed that at the University ofChicago reunion is not scheduled to coincide with homecoming, making this phenomenon all the more remarkable.The members of this year's graduating class, which I must admit has beendescribed in print as this year's seniorclass, has created a class gift through voluntary contributions, which bodes wellfor their activities as alumni-to-be.For all of these changes, we the alumni are indebted to Arthur Schultz, AB'67,and the other hardworking members ofthe Ad Hoc Commission on AlumniAffairs, to Jonathon Fanton, to PeterKountz, AM'69, PhD'76, to the staff atRobie House, especially Ruth Halloran,and to all of you who have respondedto the needs of the University. Most ofall, thanks must be given to PresidentHanna Gray for her leadership in creatingchange. It has indeed been a privilege toserve as President of the Alumni Association for the past two years.

Having met all three challenges, theUniversity was awarded $150,000 by thefoundation."The Joyce Foundation challengesmade a critical difference in alumni giving, because so many people made a special effort to contribute to the fundbecause of these," said Holgate.The Joyce Foundation stipulated thatif membership in the President's Fundreached 700, they would issue a grant of$50,000. The President's Fund surpassedQuentin Ludgin, AB 57, (I.) and Anita JarminBrickell, AB'74, MBA76. $2 million, with 723 donors participating, including 174 first-time donors.Four donors to the fund gave over$10,000 each.For alumni of the graduate divisions,the Joyce Foundation offered to matchnew or increased gifts of $25-$99 on aone-for-one basis, and increases of$100-$50,000 two-for-one. The foundation awarded $75,000 for this challenge.In its third challenge, the Joyce Foundation offered to give the University anadditional $25,000 if the Parents' Fundreached $25,000 more than it had in theprevious year. The Parents' Fund rose to$82,755 from a total of $46,925 last year,thus qualifying for the grant.Holgate announced that the Joyce Alumni Fund Board panel discusses volunteerrecruitment. (L. to r.) Alice Lyche, AM'47;Loutz Gage, AM'47; J.K. Mangum, JD'72;Hal Rosenbaum, AB'43, MBA'55, ElizabethC. Morris.Foundation has once again issued a tripartite challenge to donors:1) For donors to the Gift Clubs, (TheCentury Club, donations of $100-$199;The Scholar's Club, donations of $200-$499; and the Midway Club, donations of$500-$999), and the President's Fund, theJoyce Foundation will match the totalamount of each gift, dollar-for-dollar, ifthe donor increases his gift to the next giftclub level.2) If the Annual Fund ends the yearwith 21,000 donors, the Joyce Foundationwill give the University $25,000. Everygift counts toward this challenge, even if itdoes not qualify for matching funds.3) If. membership in the President'sFund reaches 800, and 200 of these donorsgive $2,000 or more, the Joyce Foundationwill give the University $50,000.The Annual Fund has active committees of alumni volunteers in 33 cities,Holgate reported. There were 80 phon-athons held around the country; 800alumni volunteers made phone calls to fellow-alumni to ask for funds. Volunteersmade 171 personal calls on behalf of thePresident's Fund (this includes gifts ofover $1,000).William R. Haden, vice-president forUNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MACAZINE/Winter 1983Development, told the group that theUniversity had raised a total of $43.9million in gifts and pledges in 1981-82."While this is down a bit from theprevious year, when we raised $47 million, we feel it is primarily due to economic uncertainties. We exceeded our goal ofraising $4 million in unrestricted cashby more than $50,000 [this included theAnnual Fund, and unrestricted gifts fromcorporations and foundations]. It hasbeen an exceptional year for the AlumniFund," he said.Haden also told the board that theUniversity hopes to begin development ofa new management information systemfor use by the Office of University AlumniAffairs and the Development Office, aswas recommended by the Schultz Commission (the Ad Hoc Commission onAlumni Affairs).During their two-day meeting onOctober 15-16, Fund Board membersparticipated in discussions on buildingvolunteer organizations and volunteerperspective in solicitation techniques.They also practiced solicitation phonecalls under the direction of MichaelLevine, director of phone mail for theAnnual Fund.On Friday, members of the FundBoard joined the Alumni Cabinet for areception with President Hanna H. Gray.After lunch, Gray addressed the group."The Alumni Fund, and the unrestricted gift which is represented by allof you who make commitments to andthrough the fund, is an edge for an institution of this kind," said Gray. "It givesus the capacity to try to innovate or topreserve what is most important. Forexample, at present our policy is to givefinancial aid to all students who have needrather than reverting to a policy of admitting students with some consideration ofwhether they will need aid or not. Wecould not do that if we did not haveavailable to us a stream of unrestrictedgiving."On Friday evening, at the annualNational Alumni Fund Board awards dinner, seventeen alumni were honored.They include:Quentin Ludgin, AB'57, of Washington, DC, and Kathryn Gallien, AM'76,of Albany, NY, for achieving the highest percent participation among alumni;Gabe Angell, AB'41, San Francisco, CA,and Don Clark, MBA'74, Rockford, IL,together with Bradley Patterson, AB'42,and Shirley Dobos Patterson, SB'43, of Bethesda, Md., who headed the ParentsFund, for the highest gift per capita; JayBerwanger, AB'39, Chicago, IL, for mostdollars raised in the President's Fund; BobBrawer, PhD'70, New York, NY, for largest percent increase in President's Funddonors; Anita Jarmin Brickell, AB'75,MBA'76, and Mark Brickell, AB'74, NewYork, NY; and Tom O'Toole, MBA'73,St. Louis, MO, for the most improvedcity in gift clubs and general fund; FredCurrier, X'44, Detroit, MI, for most improved city in the President's Fund;Shirley Warsaw Weiss, X'34, Los Angeles,CA, President's Fund cultivation; BelleKorshak Goldstrich, PhB'34, Miami, FL,innovation in fund-raising; Alice Lyche,AM'47, Los Angeles, CA, volunteer recruitment; Dee Happ, AB'47, and HalRosenbaum, AB'53, MBA'55, both ofChicago, IL, for volunteer recruitment.Ted Schaefer was also honored as top student caller in phone mail.Not all of the Fund Board members'time was spent in working. They went onspecial tours of campus, attended the Did You Take Soc II?In November the College celebrated the fortieth anniversary of one ofits most famous (and obviously, enduring) courses, Social Sciences II.
