He hasrecently been elected to be one of thefifty members of the American Acad¬emy of Arts and Letters.Roaaaaau’a Contribation“Rous.seau Itas contributed thechief educaliuna! work to thein the last 200 years,” Babbitt saidContinuing, he developed the theoryof formalism in education as ad¬vanced by the Jesuits, the utilitar¬ianism of Bacon as an influ<>nce ineducation, and the idea of Rousseauthat “man should depend on his nat¬ural goodness.” Contrary to theJesuits’ theory of habit forming asthe prime functions of life, Rous¬seau contended that the only habitthat a child should be allowed toform is the habit of'not forminghabits.While Rousseau advocated thateducation should be negative, withcharacter and temperament develop¬ed freely. Babbitt and the humanistsadvocate a more disciplined and con¬servatively controlled development.Changing from the naturalistic bentof Rousseau, Babbitt discussed theprecocity of seventeenth centurychildren, as recorded by Evelyn, inhis diary. Evelyn’s child, at two andone-half years could read and pro¬nounce English, Latin and French,read Gothic, and conjugate verbs.Later he developed a I passion forGreek and Scriptures. He died at theage of five years, three days. Babbitt,with a showing of wit and little lovefor Puritanism, said that John Mil-ton was the only one w’ith such learn¬ing that ever survived the earlyage.Modern, education must embodythree principles, all mentioned byRousseau, which are J self-expression,(Continued on page 4) Campus Swelters onHottest Nov.

The scenic effects of thisplay, which was directed by JamesScheibler, were more than half re¬sponsible for the burst of applausewhich followed the show; for thelighting was well done, and the stagearrangement well planned. 'The dic¬ tion of the three characters was es¬pecially good.Calvin Countryman, prompter foithe “Pot Boilers”, a farce writtenby Alice Gerstenberg and directed byMarion White, stood behind thescenes during the play and checkedoff on an extra property lift thenumber of laughs from the audience.Proof that they were numerous re¬mains on the property lift. We allenjoyed the “Pot Boilers” becauseit was good fun. We couldn’t helpbut feel that the people up there onthe stage were having the time oftheir lives.“Wurzle-Flummery,” a play writ¬ten by A. A. Milne and coached byFrancis Miayer-Oakes, philosophisedon the instability of man’s moralnature. John Elliott, who took thepart of the father, went on thestage last night in spite of injuriesreceived In football practice. By Edgar A. GreenwaldAmid the excitement accompany¬ing the announcement of a revolutionin educational circles destined to re¬vise the present system on a morelogical and a sounder basis. PresidentRobert Maynard Hutchins outlinedand explained the innovations to agroup of newspaper men yesterdayafternoon in his office.His contention is that a revisionof organization and a change of sys¬tem per se does not necessarily meana corresponding benefit for the Uni¬versity, but it does mean a factorhas been established which can, ifexercised correctly, remove the ob¬stacles besetting present day educa¬tion. In other words, the reorgan¬ization is not the end sought; reor¬ganization is sought as a means toa better education.Manifest AdvantagesBriefly, two advantages are mani¬fest at the outset. First of all, thework of one department is placed atthe disposal of students entered Inanother. The coordination of prog-ess and development Avill inevitablyresult. For instance, the Universityhas at present no Department of in¬ternational affairs. Courses pertain¬ing to the subject are found in manydepartments, but no definite coursecan be mapped without a gn’eat dealof difficulty and in frequent casesimpossibility. Under the new systema course could be mapped with com¬parative ease.Seconid, oooperation in researchwill be promoted. Mr. Hutchins re¬marked that he was frequently temp¬ted to believe that the greatest stim¬ulant research had was the facultyclub and not the laboratory, becausethe professors came into closer con¬tact with each other in the club andso merged their respective fieldsthere on a plane of intimacy with a\ resultant mutual benefit. The new plans take the professors from theirisolated divisions and place them intoclofser contact. Incidentally coor¬dination of teaching as well as edu¬cation will be stimulated.Broadens TrainingFurthermore, the plan gives an un¬precedented breadth of training .Thepresent graduate student is inclinedto narrow his field gradually to aminute apex. Expansion of visionis now being aimed at.In the estimation of Mr. Hutchins,the innovation represents the answerto “what is an ideal university?”and “what is a general education?”The problem of general educationwill in some way be solved by per¬mitting the student who so wishes toleave with honor and dignity beforespecialization.Education has at present twomain evils in the President’s estim¬ation. The first is that too muchattention is accorded those who donot need it, do not care for it, anddo not deserve it. Second, it takestoo long. A\ man cannot, exceptrarely, be a doctor of medicine be¬fore he is twenty-eight. A shorten¬ing of the period at pre.sent solengthy because of the limits of aprescribed system is the intention.'Will Change Atmosphere 'Two setbacks are hindering a goodeducational system in the UnitedStates One is the professorial sal¬ary. The other is the content andthe method of professorial life. Xstudent is not in the proper atmo¬sphere while at school and so choosesa field as life work other than edu¬cation. With a change of method,the student will be placed into ah at¬mosphere steeped in true endeavorand pursuit of education. Hia atti¬tude and views will consequently bemodified.'President Hutchins coifcluded by(Continued on page 4) IGRADUATION FROM UNIVERSHT WILLBE POSSIBLE WHENEVER STUDENTCAN PASS COMPREHENSIVE EXAMFive Main Divisions to Repllace Former SchoolsAnd Colleges; Laing, Boucher, Scammon,Gale, Woodward at HeadWILL REVOLUTIONIZE EDUCATION“Cannot Revise Curriculum Overnight,” EmphasizesPresident Hutchins; Old System MayOverlap for Some TimePresident Robert Maynard Hutch¬ins yesterday revealed the intentionof the University to abandon thetraditional organization in. which astudent spends four years acquiringa fixed number of credits which au¬tomatically entitle him to a degree.The old type of graduate school alsowill be eliminated in the new order.The present undergraduate col¬lege will be replaced by a new kindof college in which a student willbe able to graduate whenever he candemonstrate by pas.sing comprehen¬sive examinations that he has acquir¬ed a general education. Whether thestudent needs only one or four yearsdepends on his own ability; he willnot be hampered by a rigidly uni¬form system.^ Establish Fiv« Divisions ^This new kind of college cannotbe developed overnight, but the first-step in the jfrogram has just beenapproved; Reorganization of theUniversity into the professio.ialschools and five main divisions whichreplace the old divisions of collegeand graduate school has just beensanctioned by the faculty and theBoard of Trustees. This reorgan¬ization forms the framework aroundwhich the new educational methodwill be built.The five main sections into whichI the University’s work in Arts, Lit-I erature and Science will hereafterbe divided are the Social SciencesDivision, the Physical Sciences Di¬vision, the Biological Sciences Divi¬sion, the Humanities Division, andthe College. Over each Division willbe a dean with comprehensive knowl¬edge of the work and problems (fthe various departments in hisgroup.The organization has been put intoeffect only after several years of in¬tensive investigation and study byfaculty groups of the University. Itis based on the fundamental assump¬tion that the faculty and adminis¬tration will redefine the aim and ex¬tent of the University’s educationaleffort. It contemplates that newcourses must be devised that will cutacross the traditional departmentallines; that probably many of thepresent types of courses will be dis¬carded. IFoundation Laid !Experiments in this direction have !been in progress on the Midway forfive years in the so-called “SurveyCourses” and “Honors Courses”. Thefirst of these courses attempted.“The Nature of the World and ofMan,” ranges through ten variousdepartments in the natural sciencesand has met with great success.President Hutchins emphasized thefact that the University will not rushinto the new plan without carefulworking out of all details. But thefaculty and administration areagreed on the basic policy that edu¬cation must cut loose from a sys¬tem that has remained essentially un¬modified since universities were firstestablished in America and which isno longer adapted to modem needs.Comprehensive ExaminationsThe revision of the curriculumand the establishment of satisfac¬tory standards of achievement andworkable methods of measuring thestudent’s progress by carefullyframed comprehensive examinationswill require considerable time andlabor on the part of the University,i but tne main outline ot this system has already been tentatively estab¬lished.Pre.sident Hutchins also stressedthe point that the new educationalsystem at Chicago will not make anygreater demands upon the ability ofstudents than did the old college.The advantages, President Hutchinssaid, will be that able students willsave time in getting their educationand that the average will get a bet¬ter education than they now receive.The transition from what is nowthe college level to what at pressntis the graduate level will be an easyand natural one under the newmethod, instead of the abrupt changethat now is made. The sharp linethat hitherto has divided the gradu¬ate school from the undergraduate!college will be_removed and all thej work in special fields above the “gen-! eral education” level will be mergedI in the four divisions.I Pas* DegreesI The student will g^'aduate from theCollege whenever his general educa¬tion is complete and he can provethe fact by passing the comprehen¬sive examination. For those whopass with a satisfactory degree ofj excellence, the next step will be en-^ trance to one of the upper Divisionsj or to a professional school. For thosei who merely pass, graduation fromI the College means an honorable exit'j for the man who wishes only a gen-j eral education.j Once in an upper Division, rhestudent will graduate by the samemeans that he entered—by passing acomprehensive examination. Theprofessional schools will award allprofessional degrees and the Divi¬sions will be responsibe for theBwjard all nonsprofessional de¬grees, including the equivalent of thepresent Bachelor’s degree now grant¬ed at the end of four years of work.The bachelor’s, master’s and doc¬tor’s degrees are to be granted onthe recommendation of the entireDivision and not by one department.Will Improve TeachingThe reorganization already in ef¬fect, which in a large measure estab¬lishes divisional rather than depart¬mental autonomy, will mean an imme¬diate encouragement of undergradu¬ate teaching, for now the College in¬stead of the various departments, willcontrol the budget devoted to gen¬eral education. The job of the Col¬lege will be that of teaching, andits fund will be devoted to that pur¬pose; the faculty of the College willbe expected to contribute to the im¬provement of Igenel'al education.Under the departmental regrime inmany institutions, attention to teach¬ing usually means a sacrifice forthe faculty member because the de¬partment is inclined to regard teach¬ing as a sideline and productive re¬search as the main objective.Under the projected reorgraniza-tion, each member of the faculty inthe College will also be a memberof a Division. In this way, the col¬lege teacher will not be cut off fromthe developments of his own field,but instead will keep abreast of prog¬ress in his particular specialty andso be a more informed and able in¬structor.Hereafter the chairmen of depart¬ments in Arts, Literature and Sci¬ence will be directly responsible tothe deans of Divisions/ and the deanof the College.

TTiompson, Milton Shapin, Tom Bird.AN ELECTION PRECAUTIONNow that Northwestern has at least a share of the Big Tenfootball title securely tucked away, the question arises as to whatbecame of the other teams which were so highly touted at the be¬ginning of the season. The strongest rival, of course, was Wiscon¬sin. There was a superb array of material on hand, and an un¬balanced team was a practical impossibility. But Wisconsin failedat the right moment and has to content itself with a first divisionberth further down the list.The athletic directors blame the mediocrity .of the last part ofthe season on student politics which caught several of the mainstaysof the team in their net and prevented a perfect gridtron machine.“Political groups put their elections ahead of anything else, evena successful football season it seems. Wisconsin is not together,” isCoach Thistlewaite’s sad story.This pertinent incident reminds us that the campus electionsare due within two weeks. A Senior class president will then bechosen. While the voting body in this race barely numbers threehundred fifty, enough sentiment is always aroused, at least in smalland powerful groups, to make the election an interesting and occas¬ionally one sided affair. The result of this minority voting togeth¬er with the chances of ineligibles casting their ballot has caused theElections board to alter somewhat the procedure of former years.Instead of the usual round-about method of registration whichpermitted signatures first and then provided for a check on eligibil¬ity, the eligibility will first be checked this year and then those whoare not found wanting will be mailed registration cards. The ad¬vantage of this system is that more will unquestionably respond atelection time, being reminded that there is an election through themail, and that later on there can be no complaints about the count¬ing of votes cast by those ineligible to cast them.But the fact that more will vote when they are thus remindedof the elections seems to us to be the salient feature of the plan.Small, but firm and powerful groups, are the political danger, caus¬ing situations similar to the disaster at Wisconsin. These groups knowquite well that on a campus torn by such heterogeneous outside in¬terests, the elections are a trifle in the minds of most students. Theycount on a majority not voting, and by this procedure can easilysqueeze their candidate into office. The trouble, of course, arises iwhen two such groups get into a war with each other and begin jinvolving their friends and allies.Should more people be induced to vote, the danger would besomewhat mitigated. The groups would either Have to extend theircontrol or drop out of the picture. Since a fraternity and non¬fraternity alliance is next to impossible the career of most localpoliticians would be short-lived. The sorry part of the wholebusiness is that the inroads of these campaign organizers have notconfined themselves to general campus elections but have frequentlyinvaded the field of special activities with restricted elections.Indirectly a larger vote would affect these groups here, too.-Their power once gone in the general campus elections, they wouldcarry little weight in the activities’ elections. If they could not makepromises of decent office-tradings they would become extinct. Ahealthier outlook for the activities and a more prosperous one couldbe predicted at once.A recent affair, which has since htid enough publicity to war¬rant its oblivion, points out this fact in a more spectacular way.Compared to other schools where fraternal organizations are largerand more powerful, the University circles are still amateurs, butthe stamping out of the sparks here is not amiss.—E.

Early Tuesday morn- Iing, Jackie got up, w^ent down to W. {Mladison Street to get someone to jcarry the sign about. She went from |one unemployed to the other show- Iing him the sign, “Help Employ theUnemployed—Buy the’ Phoenix”. |One despondant, looking at the sign jafter Jackie had asked him to carry Iit, said, “Aw, who gives a damn aboutunemployment”.♦ ♦ *Now don’t anyone say that the! sales staff of the Phoenix isn’t effi¬cient. Yesterday, Phoenix salesgirlAdrienne Boniwell stood in front ofCobb Hall and for five minutespleaded with Julian Jackson to buy“just one copy”. Finally Julian hadto break down and tell her that hewas the editor. “Piker”, said Adri¬enne, “won’t even buy your owmmagazine.”* ♦ ♦While we are talking about thePhoenix, as we seem to be, we wantto be sure not to forget to tell youabout how Les Freudenthal, on read¬ing the Blackfriars story in thePhoenix, proceeded to bawl out theeditor and business manager of thatsheet. It would have been all righthad he been talking to the two headsof the Phoenix, but instead, un¬known to him, he was talking 'toGordie Allen. Phi Gam, and EdGreenwald, editor of the Daily Ma¬roon.* * *Some classes around here are pret^y boring, to be sure, but studentsget around that by reading, drawingpictures, talking. Yesterday Profes¬sor Hugh Morrison of the Art de¬partment had to stop his class andask his students (namely. Dr.Hjarsh-e) to put their feet on thefloor and put out the cigarettes.* « *And from the Daily Cardinal, “Arecent survey indicated that studentsof the University of Missouriapproximately seventy-five bid |ch^ks each day.”♦ * *It has come to light that last sum¬mer while visiting the summer homeof Harold Swift, Corda Palmer, Mor¬tar Board, played ping-pong withRobert Maynard Hutchins and Fred¬erick Charles Woodward. Oooo, canWe touch you?* ♦ ♦The law school had their annualelections yesterday, and it was someelection, too. Cards with the candi¬dates names printed on were circul¬ated and the election slogan ran,j “Make this an election—not selec-! tion.” The Independents were rab-I idly in favor of Tom Connors forI President, Joe Green for Vice-Presi-I dent. Independents optimisticallyi expected a victory, and got it.ii< ♦ ♦And not so long ago Janet Her-riot of Foster Hall brought the mu-^ tual Foster Hall kitten to Germanclass with a miniature Universitydiploma tied around its neck.

Sue Noble took George^ Sanford’s two-fifty, promised him a[ copy.* * 4It would be interesting for someof the various heads of things aroundhere to see how the freshmen in theirGreen C examination had them clas¬sified. For instance, Hutchinson isthe University President; Yates andGraf are head Marshalls; Pb-ankO’Hara is President of the Dramaticassociation; George Moon is assist¬ant Cashier; and one of the tradi¬tions is to cheer the President’shouse occasionally.♦ * *And just a few moments ago thisdepartment had a very nice socialcall from Peggy Holohan, K.

I-aing, former¬ly dean of the Graduate Schools ofArts and Literature, is dean of theIfuRNanities Division; Professor Hen¬ry G. Gale, formerly dean of theOgden Graduate School of Science,is dean of the Physical Sciences Di¬vision; Dr. Richard E. Scammon,who recently came to the Univers¬ity from the University of Minne¬sota as professor of anatomy, is deanof the Biological Sciences Division,and Professor Chauncey S. Boucher,fornwrly dean of the Undergradu¬ate Colleges of Arts, Literature, andScience, continues as dean of theC-ollege. Dr. Frederic Woodward,Vice-President of the University andDean of the Faculties, will be tem¬porarily in charge of the Social Sci¬ences Division.The broad objects of the Division¬al reorganiziation, as explained tothe University Senate by PresidentHutchins last week, are “to improveadministration by placing greaterresponsibility on officers who arefamiliar with the work of their re-ispedive Divisions; to reduce thenumber of independent budgets pre¬sented to and administered by thePresident’s office, to promote coop¬eration in research, to coordinateteaching, and to open the way to ex¬periments in higher education.”Significance attached to the imme¬diate reorganization, so far as theUniversity’s advanced work is con¬cerned, is that research on majorproblems which cut across present de¬partmental boundaries will be facili¬tated. Such a project as the contemp¬lated study of grow'ing child, whichinvolves investigations by depart¬ments as widely separated as HomeEconomics and Anatomy, will now bemade under Divisional auspices. An¬other important result of the cor¬relation of departments is that ad¬vanced students in specialized workwill be able to acquire a thoroughgrounding in the fields closely relat¬ed to their special interests.The change from the present meth¬ods of courses and credits cannot bemade abruptly, and the Universityauthorities now think that they maybe required to let the old type ofeffort overlap the new method fora period after the latter is put ineffect. Some “credit bookkeeping,”as a means of enabling a student tomeasure his achievemnt, and also toprotect students who may wish totransfer to other institutions operat¬ing under present methods, may berequired.THE STUDENTSTYPING SERVICEManMK^d by FVances A.

NOVEMBER 20, 1930 tBABBin DISCUSSESHUMANISM BEFORE |HANDE AUDIENCE(Continued from page 1) |vocational training, and service. |Babbitt emphasized the necessity of Iservice wnth the element of sym- ipathy as a feature of education con- itained in it today. He considered the 'religious element and pointed to the ,better results obtained in Catholic 'and Jesuit schools along some lines ;where the elective system is not in ioperation. He correlated the mean- |ing of the higher will as resultant |from nature in the old religious age iand the intuition which is found in 'the modem person.“Rousseau is a great poet wTitingin prose,” said Professor BJabbitt,“but his theory of life does not al¬ways coincide with the facts. We dohave realism today.” Humanismsof the modern order want symmetry,poise, proportion and all-aroundnessin a man, and it is not found inRousseau’s theory.Scores Pseudo-SciencePseudo-science was the next fea¬ture of modern education to which ^Babbitt turned his attention. He cit- |ed Bridgman of Harvard who admit- Ited that the physicist has recentlyfound himself in a position where thebottom has dropped out of things.Life is not a formula to which suchpseudo-scientific studies as behavior¬istic psychology can be applied, wasanother of Babbit’s ideas.The problem of modern educationdevolves on the passing of sound |standards of living from one gener¬ation to another. In this process thenecessity of habit forming shouldbe stressed, says Babbitt. “We must juse intelligence, and discipline our 1imagination, in contrast to Rous- |seau’s idea that discipline consists Iof escape.”One of the humorous touches Bab¬bitt added to his lecture came in con¬nection with a statement of Rous¬seau, who called a man who thoughta depraved animal.

He said that it followedthe traditional religious view thatthere is a dualism in the individual.Humanism fights the excess ofpseudo-science and its effects onmodern life. “The issue of modernwork is to find the correct conceptof liberty,” said Babbitt.The Harvard professor w'as intro¬duced to a completely filled Mandelhall by Dr. Edgar J. Goodspeed,chairman of the department of NewTestament literature. The next Moo¬dy lecture, he announced, would beon December 2, when Edwin B.Frost, director of the Yerkes ob¬servatory, will speak.
