"Public utilities do not offer getrich quick opportunities to theiremployees, but they do of^er an op¬portunity to help make the world abetter place in which to live”, ac¬cording to Marshall .E. Sampsell, inhis paper on “Public Utilities",which was presented yesterday byMr. Dempster McMurphy, VicePresident of the Midwest Utilitycompany, in the first of a series ofvocational lectures.As an occupation, -utilities, a fewyears ago, offered little remunera¬tion to college students, for in anera of prosperity the wages paidby utility companies seemed small.Today, however, during the currentdepression, people are willing to en¬ter a busines.s which does not offerhigh financial reward at first, butwhich carries promise of advance¬ment. Tho speaker believed utilitiesmust pay small wages because theircapital investments are large inproportion to their yearly .sales.Combat Social IIUElectric light, railroads, and gasall offer opportunities for a highdegree of service. Mr. Sampsellwent on to say, "Many of the socialills which confront us will disap¬pear within the next two decadesbecause electrical power and itspractical application will do awaywith political and social evils whichgrew out of the concentration ofsteam power in industry."Utility companies want collegegraduates, and are always on thelookout for persons who meet therequirements of such employment.Another advantage may be seen inthe fact that this field is open tomen and women alike. There is nolimit to the possibilities of electrical .development, and it is for aid in thisdevelopment that the utility con¬cerns are looking to colleges for the |leaders of tomorrow.This series of lecture brings tothe campus a host of men who haverisen to the top in their respectivefields and are competent to give ad¬vice to those who plan to follow intheir footsteps. The present seriesof fifteen lecture.s which will beheld during the Winter quarter cov¬ering fields from investment bank¬ing and insurance to law and medi¬cine duplicates a similar series oflectures which was held last year. Julius Rosenwald, PhilanthropistAnd University Donor, DiesAt Home After Long IllnessSears, Roebuck Leader,! UNIVERSITY TRUSTEE I Uifts Already AmountGave Away V ast ! h To Five MillionFortune DollarsJulius Rosenwald, until his deathafter a long illness yesterday after¬noon, was a philanthropist of world¬wide note, whose benefactions out¬side the University have averagedmore than a million dollars a yearsince 1917.Born in Springfield, Illinois, Au¬gust 12, 1862, Mr. Rosenwald leftschool early in life to begin his longbusiness career. His first commer¬cial experience came at the age of16, when he clerked in a New Yorkclothing store..After five years of clei’king, Mr.Rosenwald’s father set'him up in aretail clothing establishing of hisown, but the enterprise proved un¬successful. Until 1895, when he be¬came affiliated with Sears, Roe¬buck & Co., he tried his hand atn*knufacturing and jobbing cloth¬ing.From this immensely successfulconcern, of which Mr. Rosenwaldwas chairman of the board, he de¬rived the fortune, much of whichhe gave away through the JuliusRosenwald Fund, founded in 1917and for ten years administered byhimself. Since 1927, the fund hasbeen managed by Edwin R. Embree.The plan of this philanthropy wasto dispense capital and interest ontwenty-five million dollars withintwenty years, an average benefac¬tion of more than a million a year.In 1930, according' to the annualreport of the Fund, $1,875,655 wasexpended, and an additional totalof slightly more than five millionswas pledged for future years. In theyear ended June 30, 1931, the Fundpaid out $2,475,455.A large portion of the recentgifts have been used to establishschools for negroes in the South.From 1913 to 1930, 5,075 buildings,(Continued on page 4) Juliu« RosenwaldALL SEATS FORSOCIAL SCIENCELECTURES TAKENInterclub Council May Lift Year-Old BanOn Persecuted Phoenix at Session TodayNew History SocietyOffers Essay PrizesInideas order to secure progressiveon the means of obtaining'voild peace, the New History So-is offering three prizes for thet'lst essays on “How Can Colleges^’loinote World Peace?"contest is open to undergrad-|'‘*<es in all the colleges in the , nenun i.oa nu.tirs'tit closes April 5.

He has beenunder the care of Dr. Herbert Pol¬lack of New York City.His connections with the Univer¬sity have been most friendly duringthe past thirty years. It was in1904 that he made his first gift, andsince that time his benefactions to¬tal $4,664,167.22 to date. At thepresent time he has made a contin¬gent gift of $500,000 for a nurses’home and approximately two milliondollars for new women’s residencehalls to be built across the Midway.Elected to Board of TrusteesHe was elected to the UniversityBoard of Trustees in 1912 and hasserved actively since then. When in¬formed of Mr. Rosenwald’s deathyesterday afternoon PresidentHutchins said: “Mr. Rosenwald wasone of the most active and generousmembers of the University’s Boardof Trustees. This institution, likeevery other with which Mr. Rosen¬wald was connected, will find it hardto do without his imagination, loy¬alty, and common sense”.The home of the department ofgeography for which he gave mostof the funds, is the only buildingon campus to bear his name. On theother side of the world from theMidway, a section of the new Orien¬tal Institute’s home at Karnak,Egypt, is named Rosenwald Avenue,in honor of the late philanthropist.The headquarters of the Institute atLuxor were financed as a result ofhis gift.Endows ScholarshipsIn the past few years his inter¬ests in the work of the Universityhave been in many fields, notablysocial service, admini.stration, phys¬ics and mathematics. In the inter¬est of the worthy students enteringthe University, he has established anumber of one-year honor scholar¬ships. Realizing the need ofmore adequate living conditions forstudents at the University he pledg¬ed the money for forty percent ofthe cost of the men’s and women’sresidence halls across the Midway.The new women’s dormitories willbe erected on 60th street, between\V oodlawn and University avenues.Funeral services for Mr. Rosen¬wald will probably be held today ox*tomorrow, in .accordance with a wishexpressed by the philanthropi.st thathe be buried speedily. Prior to hisdeath, Mr. Rosenwald requested thatthe serv'ices be limited to membersof the family, and that there be noflowers.Stevens Appointed asFoundation DirectorDavid Harrison Stevens, formerprofessor of English at the Univer¬sity and vice-president of the Gen¬eral Education board of the Rocke¬feller Foundation, has been appoint¬ed to head the newly-created Hu¬manities division of that organiza¬tion.

ThompsonAssistants: Goldman and NicholsonThursday, January 7, 1932SAVANTS AND TEACHERSOne of the most important delusions underwhich American universities have been laboringis that there exists a direct connection between iresearch productivity in a given field of learningand instructional ability in that field. In a few 'outstanding instances, original investigations andteaching ability have been combined happily inthe same individual. One has heard far too often,however, the plaint of a professor that a univer¬sity would be an ideal place if it were not for thestudents. The attitude toward students of a cap¬able research man with a project next his heartis likely, sadly enough, to be that of a man whois a little bothered to have to descend from theheights and discuss the fundamentals of his chos¬en subject with a group of men and women sometwenty years younger than himself.This attitude, no doubt, is in part an out¬growth of the fact that most instructors regardmost students as being primarily interested in thenon-essentials of college life—dates, football, ac¬tivities—and perhaps most instructors have beenright. There is here, however, no excuse for theinstructor to fail to realize that he has been hiredand is receiving a salary primarily for the purposeof giving instruction to these students, and thatthe piirsuit of his own investigations must be sub¬ordinated to this purpose.The attitude is also an outgrowth of the factthat most universities—and ours is no exception—have realized that an institution of highereducation, like any other business venture relyingon widespread popular support, must of neces¬sity be advertised; and that the immediate adver-itsing value and appeal of striking new discov¬eries in the various fields of knowledge is fargreater than that of instruction, no matter howcapably conducted. The excavation of a fossildinosaur egg or the measurement of the chargeon the electron has far greater news value thanhas an excellent lecture delivered to a Freshmanclass in sociology. Recognizing this, universitieshave been guilty of hiring men whose abilities lieonly in research and offering these men to inno¬cent undergraduates in the guise of expert in¬structors. The result has been a frenzied compe¬tition among universities to discover the missingchemical elements, to be first with scientific ad¬vances in whatever field of learing. In this com¬petition, we believe, the average undergraduatestudent has inevitably suffered by neglect.With the advent of the idea that the trainingof the undergraduate is perhaps the one most im¬portant function of an institution of higher educa¬tion, there will come an academic division whichhas never before existed; a division between themembers of the faculty who are primarily inter¬ested in pushing forward some one small sectionof the frontier of knowledge in their chosen field,and those who retain the perspective which theother men have lost—men who are content tomaster a broad outlook on a big field, and arewilling, capable, and anxious to impar^ their view\ to a student in the College or its equivalent elsewhere. Thfe first are the savants, the second theteachers. And who can say that the work of onegroup is more important than that of the other?This University has in the past had an over¬abundance of savants and an appalling paucity ofteachers; the consequence has been that element¬ary undergraduate instruction used to be turnedover to graduate students and handled in a care¬less and shortsighted manner. Graduate instruc¬tion is, and has always been, splendid, but un¬dergraduate instruction is just beginning to comeinto its own. Instruction by graduate students isjust beginning to be completely abolished. Highly-paid and highly-regarded men have only recentlybeen put to work teaching elementary courses.There is still a great deal of improvement to bemade; the University is still overstaffed with sav¬ants and undersupplied wtih teachers, but it isbeginning to appear that the old idea that re¬search, per se, equips a man to be an inspiringand efficient teacher is slowly but reluctantly be-j ing discarded.—L.

We mentionthis because there were three cartoons in thelast College Humor that were from thePhoenix, and all three of them were onesthat had been censored by the University.And here’s a little gem from a compositionon farming: “Treat a cow as you would alady and she will pay for herself.”Really, we hate to gripe, but we feel quitea lot like the bird who had to get a date forsome particular occasion and didn’t care whoit was with.

While predicting thirdplaces. Coach Hoffer has turned outI thirteen Big Ten championshipteams in the last fifteen years. Add-! ed to this record of consistency is; the fact that Maroon squads havei placed below second in the Confer-; ence meet only once in twenty-two: seasons.Illinois Strong ContenderIllinois is expected to furni.sh thegreatest opposition to the Marooni title quest. Openly declaring, as doMinnesota and Wisconsin that theyhave the best team that has appear-^ ed in years, the Illini claim some, veteran and polLshed performerswho will give Chicago a great dealof competition when they come herefor a meet March 4 as well as inthe Conference meet. Of these threecontenders, Illinois has beaten theMaroons in only one Conferencechampionship in twenty years, whileWisconsin and Minnesota boast a' .similar accomplishment over periodsI of fifteen and twenty-two seasons re¬spectively.Olson and Wright Lead TeamFamous for having one outstand¬ing performer every year. CoachHoffer has two such competitors forthe coming season. Captain EverettOlson, Conference all-around cham¬pion in 1931 and George Wright,a sophomore, are perhaps the twobest 4ili-around men in.. th«. Confer¬ence. Olson, captain fpr the^^condsuccessive year, not only competesin the all-around but was Confer¬ence champion in the rings and par¬allel bars and second in the horselast year. He is one of the most de¬pendable and steady perforpiers inthe history of Maroon gymtwistics,and is at present rounding. Jpto afinished and polished style thatshould carry him to a place on theOlympic team, a goal towards whichboth he and Wright are pointing.Wright, although he has competedin only four meets in his lifej. givespromise to push Olson at all timesand to beat him a good portion ofthe time. Having worked out at thesport during his high school career,he picked up a general knowledgeand a liking for gymnastics, aipd un¬der Hoffer’s training has dgyclopedrapidly into a finished performer.The remainder of the team, whichwill be considerably better balancedthan was last year’s squad, will bemade up of Adler in the horse,Schurbel and Nordhaus in tumbling,Alvarez on the horizontal bars, andMurphy on the rings. Martin Han¬ley, a sophomore and the smallestathlete in the University, is a goodman and may be used this year,Hanley is five feet one and weighs95 pounds.

Miss Holman, who reallyis the queen of torch singers, haslittle opportunity to do the dramaticsinging which made “Moanin’ Low’’a hit. “High Yaller’’ is the nearestthing to her previous performancesand “Body and Soul’’ is effectiveeven if Libby is lost again.st a blackcurtain, and wearing a black dress.It is not her fault that she is notmore in evidence in “Three’s aCrowd". It is rather the fault ofthe producer-director w'ho thoughthe could present a revue on themerits of “what has been’’, when a ^revue is e.ssentially dedicated to the jpresent. TODAYon theQUADRANGLESAmong the other Christmas giftswhich Mr. Claus left on the stagesof Chicago theatres this yuletide is“Three’s a Crowd’’—an offering ofthe three stars—Clifton W’ebb, Lib¬by Holman, and Fred Allen—wrap¬ped up in a gift revue package. Andif, in remembrance of “The LittleShow’’, Chicago finds this revue abit thin—it’s just that Mr. Claus(or taking off the whiskers—How¬ard Dietz) counted on the personal¬ities of his stars to outshine theshabbiness of his gift package.Personalities are essential to a re¬vue, a truth borne testimony to byBeatrice Lillie’s performance withErnest Truex in “The Third LittleShow’’. But personalities alone arenot sufficient to carry a revue if itis devoid of clever skit material, atruth which is all too apparent in“Three’s a Crowd’’. With a wealthof good music, a good ballet, andclever dance numbers, the entireshow depends for its verve on theperformance of Clifton W’ebb.Whatever the brilliance of Mr.Webb’s appearance in “The LittleShow’’—it pales into nothingnessbeside his role as actor-singer-anddanseur in the current revue. Non¬chalant, graceful, ingenious, heswirls through skiWIfter skit, danceafter dance, justifying the existenceof the show. Three is not a crowdin this instance, because Webb car¬ries the revue. His most spectacularfeat is an interpretative dance num¬ber with Tamara Geva, built aroundMiss Holman’s song, “Body andSoul".On a stage, carefully set and ex-otically lighted, the supple MissGeva and the rhythmic Mr. Webbtranslate passion into ,da>ice lan¬guage, while every adjunct of artis¬tic lighting lends them additionalvariation, and Libby Holman singsfrom the darkness of the wings. Initself this number is a perfect bit ofdancing. But bad production fol¬lows it immediately with a very or¬dinary dance dueT by Helen Aultand Wally Coyle, doing the usualtap number.The only two skits which pa.ss asrevue material are “The Event’’ byGroucho Marx and Arthur Sheek-inan and Lawrence Schwab’s “Onthe Wire’’. The former depicts thevarious manners in which the mir¬acle of birth was depicted in theAge of Ignorance, the Age of In¬nocence, and This Age of Ours; thelatter is a .'^atire on telephone serv¬ice—and both show what can bedone by dramatists who are revue-minded. For the rest, the show i.scomposed of dance numbers byClifton Webb and the ensemble, thesinging of Libby Holman and thetalking of Fred Allen.Mr. Allen is most effective in thelast scene when he stops talking andgives an imitation of Mr. Webb’sdancing.

The educa¬tors studied the situation in thefourth, fifth, and sixth grades ofschools in more than a dozen cities.In varied situations, one typewriterwas supplied to from one to fourchildren. .Although final statisticshave not been compiled, the schoolteachers believed the use of type¬writers was beneficial, since theclearness of the letters aided com¬position and spelling.Dr. Freeman, in outlining the sig¬nificance of the investigation to thefield of education, said that thetypewriter may be used as an addi¬tion to handwriting rather than asubstitute for it.

Because of thegi-eat difference in texture all haircannot be cared for in the samemanner. Hair that is excessivelyoily should not receive the sametreatment as dry hair.Most minor hair trouble comesfrom improper shampooing. Thepoint to bear in mind is first of allto have the proper soap. This soapshould be flaked and dissolved inhot water. If the hot water does notdissolve the soap readily, the solu¬tion should be brought to a boilover a flame. .After diluting the.'joap to scalp temperature the mix¬ture should be applied freely to thedamp hair.When you hear the remark, “Ididn’t get the soap out of my hafa',although I rin.ved and rin.sed,” thereason for this condition is not suf¬ficient soap application. There aremany fine domestic soaps on themarket, but the best soap for sham¬pooing is imported olive-oil Castile.Another cau.se of minor soaptroubles, not the result of physicalconditions, is derived from the useof too caustic a soap. In otherwords, the soap is too drying—andcontains a large amount of alkalinesubstance. The scalp when placedunder a microscope is found to con¬sist of tiny scales, overlapping, andif the.se become overdry they scale,causing what is commonly termeddandruff.S. E.
