Lasker gift raisesdonations to $25,-000,000.Vol. 28. No. 48. UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO. TUESDAY, JANUARY 10. 1928 Famous socialworker to speak atdinner.Main StreetBy Milton S. Mayer LASKERS DONATE TO UNIVERSITYAll my life 1 have been on the vergeof melancholia. It’s a good thing to beon the verge of, I have always thought,because it gives a man a sort of eerieoutlook on life and the world that every¬one but himst , soon tires of. But henever tires it himself, and eventuallycomes to realize that there is in him agreat lyric not. mat the clay that driftswonderingly into and out of his life cannot understand. Now this is an excellentfeeling—a sort of magnificent, eternalecstasy—and he says to himself, “I amfull of pity for these babbling broviksthat call themselves my fellow lieings.They are children, wild, thoughtless,scurrymg children, their eyes foreverdancing with hopes and petty happeningsand anticipations, their hearts singingand their hair dancing in the wind. Theywill die as naked as they were born, forthey do not know the secret of life.I know the .secret of life—I know thatlife is hollow as a drum, that the begin¬ning and end of all things is dust. Iknow that life is a game whose onlywinning is in escape, whose only rewardis that to which life itself is the obstacle—the mantled peace of death. I knowall this, and I am sad. 1 am tired ofdays and hours, and desires, and dreams,and powers. 1 sigh with the poet:Front too much htir of lirit i/, from hopeand fear set f<-'’e,I thank «iV/i brief thanksgh'imi ivhal-ever gods there he—That tio life lives forever, that dead menrise up never,That even the zeeariest river zvinds snme-zvhere to the sea."This is the wail of the melancholyman. .-Xs I say, he never grows tired ofit. And like the Painted Desert, becauseit is a painted thing itself, melancholia isforever changing its ineffable shades andshadows and forever offering some newtint—or one that .seems new. at least.From time to time the melancholy manwonders if perhaps he wasn’t put onearth with a Messianic purpo.se, and hebuttonholes a likely-looking prospect andtries to convert him. and at the conver¬sion the convert shakes bis head andcounsels his friends thus: “Sam is in sbad way. I don’t know what it is. May¬be he is bilious, or disappointed in love,or maybe . . .” (and his voice ishushed and his eyes are bright) “ . . .maybe he is possessed of the Evil One,or maylie . . (and his voice issibilant and his breath is fast) “ . . .maybe he has taken to drink.’’ .Xnd goodpeople pass him on the street and say,“Poor Sam. I remember Sam when hewas like the rest of us. .And now . . . ’That is what might be called the retailprinciple, which involves the gatheringtogether of two or three spotted membersof his ilk and sob the night away overleberwurst and schwartzbrot, and goingout into the shivering morning intent onteaching sadness and truth (which issadness) to an unwilling world. Butthe world is too unwilling, and, in thelight of day, the melancholy man is notso intent, so things go on in the statusquo, I believe it’s called.* * *But for the most part the melancholyman leaves the human brotherhood to itsillusion and song, and he ends up in theself-same ash-heap with commonerhorseflesh, muttering, as did CharlieDunkley when Firpo knocked Dempseyout of *he ring, “The whole world is ina state of chaos.’’ They say his spiritcannot forget the buxom, dancing world,but walks alone—and sad. I’m going tosee if I can hold on long enough to findout. COMPTON PLANSNLW EXPERIMENTTO TESIJHEORYPhysicist Returns AfterReceiving Prize InStockholmBack at the University of Chicagoafter receiving the Nobel prize inphysics at Stockholm, Prof ArthurH. Compton plans to set to work im¬mediately on an experiment to confirmhis conclusion that .x-rays proceed ascorpuscles, or particles of matter, indefinite directions. The work whichbrought Prof. Compton the prize has ^established to the satisfaction of scien¬tists that light is composed of a formof matter.Talks With KingIn conversation with King Gustavof Sweden following the presentationof the prize, the Swedish monarchasked the famous University physi¬cist what would be the practical valueof his work.“I wish I knew,” Prof. Comptontold the king. "A hundred years agoFresnel first arrived at his theory oflight waves, but it was not until seven¬ty-five years later that this theorydevelope<l into the practical applica¬tion of wireless telegraphy.”Now Being UsedKescarch workers of tlu WesternI'ilectric comi)any have already ob¬tained new effects on the surfaces ofcrystals by appling Prof. Compton’stheory, and have learned much aboutthe surface structure of nickel, whichis expected to be important in thedevelopment t>f radio transmission,riieir work followed a suggestion thatif Prof. Compton’s theory that lightacted as matter was correct, the re¬verse might also be true.In his new experiment, Prt)f. Comp¬ton will use two “Geigre counters,”one of which will count x-rays andone which will count electrons. IfProf. Compton’s theory is correct,when x-rays are scattered from elec¬trons. the electrical pulses recorded bythe two counters should coincide, butif light moves in waves only, therewill be no correspondence in the pulsesrecorded.MISS TALBOT SAILSTO ACT AS HEAD OFCOLLEGE IN TURKEYMiss .Marion Talbot sailed Saturdayfor Constantinople where she will heacting-president of the ConstantinopleCollege for Women in the absence ofthe president.

Blackburn,treasurer, her address will deal not onlywith the “historical development of thesettlement idea, but the relationship ofthe settlements to the general field ofsocial work.”One of the most impelling influenceswhich led Miss .Addams to accept the in¬vitation is the fact that she herselfplayed a great part in establishing thesclicK)! from which the department ofSocial Service administration is a mic-cessful outgrowth— the old School ofCivics and Philanthropy, which had itsheadquarters down-town. Since then shehas contributed generously Ixjth her timeand her assistance to the department..Miss’ Addams has achieved interna¬tional prominence as a result of her workamong the poor, whom even in her col¬lege years at Rockford seminary shewished to regard as her “clientage.” Itwas in 1889 that she undertook in Chi¬cago a project which has since Ix'comcworld famous, Hull House.

NEW fOUNDATIONAIMS AT STUDYOF MIDDLE AGEDonor Former MemberOf U. S. ShippingBoardOne million dollars has been donat¬ed to the University for medical re¬search by Albert D. Lasker, formerchairman of the United States Ship¬ping Board and his w'ife, Mrs. FloraW. 'Lasker. The ins:tit(ution whichtheir recently announced gift estab¬lishes will be known as the LaskerFoundation for Medical Research.It has been stipulated by the donorsthat the activities of the institutionwill be directed chiefly toward theprevention and treatment of the dis-ease:s of later life with the ultimatehope of prolonging the average spanof human existence, according to Dr.F. C. McLean, head of the medicaldepartment.Direct Work Impossible“.As far as I know,” stated Dr. Mc¬Lean yesterday, “it is generally con¬ceded among scientific men that actualdirect experimentation upon the pro¬longation of human life is an impos¬sibility. Contrarj' to popular opiniontherefore the institution at presentdoes not assign life prolongation asits definite aims.” „. .“It does not hoi)e to be able to saythat a baby w'hen it is born has anaverage chance of living 100 yearsrather than 50 years. If there areany possibilities along these lines theyare essentiallj' in the realm of physi-ology, although if there were any spe¬cific work that could be done medi¬cine would heartily co-operate withphysiology. And so as its immediategoal the Lasker Foundation will de¬vote itself to the lengthening of hu¬man life by combatting the threegreat diseases which take such heavy'toll in middle life, namely, Bright’sdisease of the kidneys, heart trouble,and arterial sclerosis—commonlyknown as the hardening of the ar¬teries.”Concentration of Research-According to President .Max Masonthis concentration of research energy'embodied in the 'Lasker Foundationwill constitute a “unit attack on thedisease of men and women of middleage, when their intelligence is at thehighest and their value to the com¬munity is greatest.”W ith the Lasker million dollar en¬dowment the sum of the donations inthe history of the University MedicalSchool is raised to $25,000,000.

BOUCHERMr. mason, who is president of this University, and Mr.Boucher, who is Dean of Colleges in it, have hinted ratheroften that the University is about to become a medium for a greatand new educational proposition; they have indicated that a differ¬ent cultural enterprise from other prevalent cultural enterprises isabout to be adopted; they have even given their statements amore or less factual basis by abolishing compulsory chapel, bymaking of the honor system something reasonable, by makingnumerous other moves which aim at freedom from unnecessaryrestricticii and supervision. Perhaps Mr. Mason and Mr. Boucherwere aware of what might be the logical result of all this emanci¬pation and perhaps they w’ere not; and, while it is difficult toknow which was the case, it, fortunately, makes no difference. Thefact of the matter is that the students have become utterly spoiled,while we, their organ of expression, are so situated that we canneither condemn nor commend them, for we are of the same kind.The student body has been given a smattering of the honorsystem; they ask for the entirety. The student body has seencensorship on its publications lifted sufficiently to let the light in;they ask for complete removal. The student body has seen theUniversity scratch the surface; they ask it to delve deeper. It is,w’e think, more or less agreed among educators like Mr. Masonand Mr. Boucher that the supreme expression of true educationwould be an institution wherein each student’s case could bejudged on the conditions peculiar to it; an institution whereinthe rules, if there were any, would be made to conform to thestudent and not the student to the rules; an institution, in short,for students and not of students. We have come to think thatthe students, in their youthful ignorance of the impossibility ofsuch an Utopia, are driving at that ideal; we wonder if the Uni¬versity, realizing the possibility of it, are contemplating thesame ultimate end.The other day we heard of a student who, being ineligible andthinking the peculiar factors which had made him ineligible werenot sufficient to keep him from his activities, approached Mr.Boucher and, apprising him of his situation, requested a repeal.Mr. Boucher admitted the injustice of the ineligibility ruling inthat it admitted of no exceptions, agreed with the student thathis cause should be an exception, and stated that he was sorrythat it could not be an exception. The ineligibility ruling is oneof vital importance, more so, we think, than the question of com¬pulsory chapel, and equally important as the honor system ques¬tion. And yet it remains, along with a host of its fellows toonume»*ous to mention, as out of place with relation to Mr. Mason’sand Mr. Boucher’s ostensible goal as any other rule of nineteenthcentury vintage. Perhaps Mr. Mason and Mr. Boucher are comingaround to all this and perhaps they are not; this time it, unfor¬tunately, makes a difference. Women’s ActivitiesIn New Section of’28 Cap and GownIncorporating all phases of wom¬en’s activities, with the exception ofclubs, the Cap and Gown has inaug¬urated a new department for the1928 issue. Marjorie Williamson,women’s editor of Cap and Gown,attributes this recognition to the factthat “women’s organizations on cam¬pus are assuming a more importantrole and are becoming more signifi¬cant.The complete section allotted tow’omen’s organ’Z5>*^ions in the Capand Gown includes pictures of thewomen’s halls and members of dra¬matics, athletics and honor societies.Nu Pi Sigma FirstFirst is a picture of the seniorwomen’s honor society, Nu Pi Sigma,and the chemistry honor society.Kappa Nu Sigma.

GRANDSON OF REBELLEADER COMMANDSUNIVERSITY R.O.T.C.By Norman R. GoldmanSix months ago a pleasant, quiet,tow-headed man took the position ofauthority in the Military depart¬ment of the University. He isMajor Thomas Jonathon JacksonChristian, professor of MilitaryScience and Tactics, and a grandsonof “Stonewall” Jackson.Major Christian’s career to thepresent time has been very event¬ful. He was a student at VirginiaMilitary Institute, where he becamean S. A. E. In 1905 he was ap¬pointed to West Point by PresidentRoosevelt and graduated from theMilitary Academy in 1911.Philippine VeteranBefore the World War MajorChristian saw service in the Philip¬pines in 1914 and on the Mexicanborder in 1916. In 1916 and 1917he became professor of Military Sci¬ence and Tactics at Colorado Agri¬cultural College, and in 1918 he wasstationed at the national army campat Jackson, Carolina, with the rankof lieutenant colonel.From 1919 to 1923 he was thecommanding officer of the field ar¬tillery at Cornell University, and in1925 he was a brigade executive ofthe Fir.st Field Artillery at FortHoyle, Maryland.INTER-CLUB COUNCILVOTES APPROVAL OFNEW RUSHING PLANThe fact that some club womenfailed to realize that the new rulesof the Inter-club council requestedtheir presence at all the functions ofFreshman week, was the only criti¬cism suggested at the meetings of the Inter-club council held duringthe fall quarter. The Universitymade this request, in order that theclub women could see that the fresh¬men attended the meetings and inorder that the older women couldassist in the functions.Favorable criticism of the newrushing plans, which were suggestedlast spring and went into effect thisquarter, was expressed. The rulesinclude preferential bidding and norushing affairs which interfere withthe functions planned for Freshmanweek.WHEATON HOME FCHLCHILDREN AFFILIATESWITH NEW HOSPITALSThe University affiliation with theCountry Home for ConvalescentChildren at Prince Crossing, nearWheaton was completed this summer.President Max Mason and Vice-Presidents F.

Galoshes Speed UpBasketball TeamGaloshes are in vogue this win¬ter at Ohio Wesleyan University—as far as the basketball team isconcerned.Coach Ray Detrick, basketballmentor, insists that his men wearthe ungainly ‘‘mud guards” dur¬ing the day for more than one rea¬son.Detrick, who has turned out sev¬eral Ohio Conference champion-hip teams, says the galoshes notonly protect the wearers from cold,but make the players faster on thefloor.His theory is that after wearingthe heavy overshoes for some time,the change to light basketball shoesmakes their feet feel lighter andenhances their footwork.—U. P.TRACK PROSPECTSFOR SEASON GOODFew Thinly-Clads OustedBy GradesFENCERS WIN MEETFROM MILWAUKEEUniversity of Chicago fencers start¬ed the season in fine form by defeat¬ing the fencers of the Milwaukee Y.M. C. A. last Saturday night at Bart¬lett Gymnasium.Tbe matches were single bouts.Friedman, Ei.sendrath, and Kerr, werethe Maroon fencers who met the three“Y” men. Each fencer fought all threeof his opponents separately. At last tbe jinx is broken! Formany years. Chicago has had veryexcellent track prospects and everyyear tbe prosi>ects have been brutallyshattered by tbe ineligibility bugaboo.Last year was one of tbe outstandingillustrations of this condition. I beMaroon squad looked like conferencecontenders until the Fall quartermarks were announced. This year theMaroons again have an excellent pros¬pectus but the coaches were afraidto make any predictions because theywere afraid of what the situationwould be after tbe marks came out.If they expected a repetition of lastyear, they were sadly disappointedbecause, almost without exception, tbeimportant runners of the team are eli¬gible. Over 100 men are on the tracksquad at the present time. About for¬ty of these are out for the Varsity,twenty for tbe I'rcsb team and tberest as yet unclassified. In order togive tbe new coach, Ted Merriam, achance to size up bis men< in action.Asst. Coach 'Lonnie Stagg has arrang¬ed for an Interclass meet to be heldWednesday at which all of the menout for the teams will compete. Be¬cause of the fact that some, of the ex¬perienced runners are entered in themeet all of the rewards for placeswill be made uniform.A week from Saturday, Chicago willmeet Indiana. .At this time, the mennot on the varsity will have a meet oftheir own, their events to follow im¬mediately after tbe same events arerun by the Varsity.GROW TALLERIT CAN BE DONE — READ HEREI hpve gained 5 1-2 in. since taking your Course(two months ago).

CoachAnd Explodes Old College CustomGone are the days of “hatlessness” onthe campus of New York university—atleast so far as the football team is con¬cerned. No longer will men on the teambe seen parading around without thatimportant item of apparel. For CoachChick Meehan has issued an iron-dadrule, ‘‘Keep your hat on.”During his career as head coach, firstat Syracuse and then at N. Y. U., Chickhas met and overcome all sorts of hag¬gling conditions. But this year theredeveloped something new to his experi¬ence. This Fall when the men seemedin the best of condition for the big gamesahead, several players began reportingsick. Several minor colds—a most un¬usual ailment among men at the peak offitness—handicapped the work of train¬ing.A good coach has to be a doctor, law¬yer, detective, father, mother and exe¬cutioner, so Chick looked into it. Whathe located was nothing wrong with thecourse of training, but rather somethingnew in conduct outside of businesshours. Some of the players, perhapshaving observed others going around without hats, had thoughtlessly donelikewi.se. The result, of course, was anepidemic of coughs and sneeze...At the next football meeting the bombwas exploded. Said Qiick: ‘‘Any saneand adult person, who wants to keep hishealth, ought to know enough to weara hat out of doors. If these other ladswant to plaster themselves up with bear’sgrease and look like comic-strip sheiks,we can’t stop them. But you can’t doit and stay on this team.”MANY CAGE TILTSFEATURE TODAY’SINTRAMURAL CARDClass ‘‘B’’ Intramural basketballswings under way tonight at BartlettGymnasium.

DepartmentBy Capt. J. S. Mathews, F. A.As ejrly as the Spring Quarter of1916 it is reported that the Faculty ofthe Colleges signified its approval ofthe organization of a Department ofAlilitary Science and Tactics. In the.Autumn Quarter 1916 a group of stu¬dents among whom Mr. Leslie M. Par¬ker (now a Captain .Adjutant Gener¬al’s Department, Reserve) and Mr.Dunlap Clark played a very prominentpart presented a petition signed byseveral hundred students to the latePresident Harry Pratt Judson request¬ing that such a department be estab¬lished. .According an application wasmade to the War Department for thedetail of a Professor of Military Sci¬ence and Tactics under the provisionsof the first National Defense .Act ofTune ,1916.In January, 1917, Major O. W. Bell,then of the 14th Cavalry. Fort Sheri¬dan, Illinois, was so detailed and re¬ported. The plan as then adopted pro¬vided for active training in infantrydrill and certain lectures on military-subjects. By the Spring of 1917 anInfantry Regiment had been organizedwhich was commanded by Cadet Col¬onel Leland Morgan. L'nfortunately inJune 1917 Major Bell was assigned toduty at Fort Sheridan, Illinois, on ac¬count of the shortage of officers forthe training of candidates for commis¬sions in the emergency forces.School OrganiezsDuring the .Auutmn Quarter 1917Major John Grisand, Retired. Judge.Advocate General’s Department, wasdetailed as Professor of Military Sci¬ence and Tactics. l)ut due to his fre¬quent illness the students were com¬pelled to carry on most of the work ofthe Department. .A night school fornon-commissioned officers was organ¬ized and carried on largely through theefforts of Mr. Leslie M. Parker untilMarch 1918 when he left the I’niver-sity for war service for which he badvolunteered and had strenuouslysought since the beginning of hostil¬ities.In the .Autumn Quarter of 1918 theS. .A. T. C. was organized largelythrough the efforts of Mr. .Adolph C.Noe and Dean Henry G. (lale. andfunctioned until the close of the war.Early in 1919 an inspection wasmade by the War Department of thefacilitie- a\ailable for the establish¬ment of a unit of the Reserve Officers'I'rainii-.g Gori's and what the service,if any, should be represented. Gol. H.i !•'. Marr, Field .Artillery, I’. S. .Army, who made one of the inspections rec¬ommended that a Field Artillery unitonly be installed. This was approvedand Colonel Marr was detailed as thefirst Professor of Military Science andTactics under the new plan, reportingduring the spring of 1919.Plans For ArmoryPlans were then made for the neces¬sary office and armory space and forthe large amount of material and sup¬plies for such a unit. Schedules forcourses were drawn up and approved,so that the unit could begin function¬ing with a “bang” at the beginning ofthe .Autumn Quarter of 1919.The question as to Lbiiversity creditfor the Military Science and F2quitationcourses was at first very difficult'tosohe, but due to the untiring effortsof Colonel Marr full hour for hourrecognition was given for all courses,which was an important step in in¬suring the success of the unit. Stablespace for the forty-five horses necessaryfor the proper functioning of such adepartment was finally satisfactorilysolved by the very generous action ofthe South Park Commissioners in per¬mitting the use of the stables at 58thStreet and Cottage Grove .Avenue,which arc near the drill field and thebridle path. The number of ReserveOfficers commissioned during the firstfew- years after the unit was installedwas necessarily comparatively small.More CommissionsMajor F. M. Barrows, who was thesecond Professor of Military Scienceand Tactics was detailed in 192J. Un¬der his regime the number of reserveofficers commissioned from the unit in¬creased from seven per year to twenty-four. LTider the leadership of MajorT. J. J. Christian, who was detailed inJune, 1927, it is predicted that an evengreater increase will be made, since thenumber of students, both classic andadvanced, has been materially in¬creased.J ^ke largest setUnaquMity pencilin the wocldAt alldealersBuy^ adozen Superlative in quality,the world-famouaViENUSKNOLSgive best service andlongest wear.Plain ends, per doz.Rubber ends, per doz. $1.001.20American Pencil Co.. 215 Fifth ATe.,N.Y.MakersofUNIQUEThin leadColored Pencils in 12 colors—$1.00 per doz.PIANO JAZZ — MODERN HARMONYBe in demand.

Ofcourse it is recognized that these aresocial groups, hut they are groups mitof “hail fellows well met” who might hegot together in almost any community,hut of students, whose main business (Ulife during these few years is to study,and to gain an education.
