DECEMBER 13. 1933GraduatePapers-By SCRIBLERUS-AND WE DEPLORED ITAt the beginning of the quarterwe felt that this column ought tohave a purpose. So we started outby deploring “the aspect of a distinct line dividing the life of anundergraduate from that of a grad¬uate.” Well there wasn’t muchsense in just deploring it; we feltwe should really do somethingabout it.So we started writing aboutgraduates and tried to impresseverybody that they were reallyquite human, that they, too, hadbeen undergraduates once, and thatmost of them had been, strangelyenough, pretty darned good onestoo! We’ve even told little humaninterest stories about graduates.^ ou can’t accuse us of not tryingto help correct the situation. But,try though we have, the situationstill exists, and it’s still deplorable,and we still deplore it!KEEPING IT UPThe December issue of the Uni¬versity of Chicago magazine is out,and it’s a darned good one thatdefinitely fulfills the expectations i will be broadcast over WJJD eachcreated by the first issue, with its .Monday, from 10 to 10:15.

I was muchflattered at your interest in my exist¬ence. During my four years in col¬lege I did not see the President anddid not want to. My policy withthe President was live and let live.As long as he didn’t bother me Iwas content not to bother him. StillI admit that I have bothered you agood deal by assisting in disturbingyour educational calm through suchthings as what is still called the NewPlan. I had intended to give youyour revenge today by presentingan exhibition of a university presi- jdent trying to explain what his edu- |cational policy is. Unfortunately,how'ever, the newspapers have select¬ed my subject for me by presentingto your startled gaze various ver¬sions of our discussions with North-vvestern university. I congratulateyou on the composure you have dis¬played, which compares very favor¬ably with the hysteria manifestedby certain other groups.Praises CollegeThe questions in your minds I can¬not hope to answer today. InsteadI hope to leave you merely with aknowledge of what the real ques¬tions are. Almost nothing can posi¬tively be asserted about the proposedconsolidation because the negotia¬tions are in such a preliminary stage.I can say definitely, however, thatcertain things are not true. In thefirst place it is not true that thecollege on the Midway would be dis¬continued. That college has alreadymade a contribution to education oftremendous importance and influ¬ence .And it w'as with the idea thatthis might prove the case that I in¬itiated the proposal. We have never jcontemplated abandoning or remov¬ing it. In the second place it is nottrue that research in medicine wouldbe discontinued on the McKinlockcampus or that clinical work wouldcea.se on the Midway. All that has ever been suggested is that profes¬sional medical education might beemphasized down town and medicalresearch emphasized out here. Evenas to this no commitments have beenmade by anybody.In the third place it is not truethat the University’s interest in thisplan results from a desire to increaseits tax exemption. I have recom¬mended to our committee that theUniversity waive any additional ben-elits of this sort.No Personnel Reduction reached any conclusion. Our boardas a whole has never even discussedthe matter. It is therefore clearthat there is not the slightest found¬ation for the suggestion that we shallwake up some morning and findone unversity where two grew be¬fore. Nothing will be decided untileverybody who 'is entitled to anopinion has had an opportunity toexpress it. .. . |Even assuming that the boardwere td agree that consolidation wasdesirable, and they are yet far from MERGER VIEWEDAS STEP FORWARDIN U. S. ^GATIONPresident Denies Lossof UndergraduateCollege- In the fourth place it is not true i agreeing to any such proposition, thethat we have m mind wholesale re- ' * 'duction of the teaching staff. Neith¬er university has met the financialemergency by this method up to thepresent time. There is no ground forthinking that it will in the future.Any readjustments in the teachingstaffs would be gradual and wouldnot work hardship to members of thefaculty. form of the consolidation would remain uncertain. Any statements thathave been made or published on thisissue have been either erroneous ormisunderstood. The Presidents wereasked to suggest what might con¬ceivably be done. They submitted totheir committees an answer to thesequestions which did not commit them! or anybody else to doing those things,In the fifth place it is not true I doing them in any particularthat our primary interest in thesediscussions is financial. If it werewe might have planned the abolition order. Those statements have beenmisinterpreted as proposals of thepresidents and have even been re-of the college on the Midway, and ^ ferred to as a memorandum of agree-pf medical research on the McKin- | ment between the universities. Thatlock campus; we might be seeking j is no agreement between theways to enlarge our tax exemption, | universities must be entirely clearand we might be plotting drastic j Ii'oui what I have already said,reductions in the teaching staffs. In | Many Questions Undecidedall I our discussions financial consid¬erations have been secondary. Noproposal will ever be accepted byour board if it alters the essentialcharacter of the University of Chi¬cago. If any proposal is ever ap¬proved by our board it will be be¬cause we are convinced that theplan will enable the University todo a better educational and scien¬tific job.Merger Is Not Imminent Since the only fact in the situationis that the universities are discuss¬ing some form of co-operation, I cannot give you more facts today. All Ican do is to indicate what issues inaddition to those I have alreadymentioned must be settled beforeconsolidation can be effected. I shallbegin with the least important ones.In the first place, we must be satis' fied that the program will strength¬en and not weaken the financial po-,In the sixth place it is not true j sition of the universities.

President Robert Maynard Hutch¬ins in his chapel address yesterdaydeclared himself heartily in sym-pathy with the de¬sire for education¬al i m p r o vementwhich lies behindthe proposed mer¬ger between theUniversity andN 0 r t h w estem.“Since no definiteplan has as yetbeen proposed,” heR. M. Hutchins said, “all we cando is to preservean open mind until we see what canbe worked out.”That underlying the merger dis¬cussions is the belief that such aconsolidation ,if feasible, might elim¬inate “the consequences of duplica¬tion and competition” from Ameri¬can education, was indicated by thePresident.Merger Is Contemplated OnlyThe President assured the 2,400students who filled all available cha¬pel seats and crowded the aisles andbalconies, that the merger was onlyin a state of comtemplation, andthat there was very little fact uponwhich to base an opinion. “The sin¬gle fact which is indisputably true,”the President said, “is that the Uni¬versity and Northwestern are consid¬ering some form of co-operation, af¬filiation or consolidation.”He again emphasized the fact thatthe college on the Midway would notbe discontinued. Lauding the con¬tribution of the college to educa¬tion, the President stressed the fund¬amental difference in education tech¬nique employed by the University’snew plan.Difference in AimsHis significant statement, “Ourcollege is devoted to ‘understanding’undergraduate education” as con¬trasted to the Northwestern methodof “administering” education causedsubdued laughter among the audi¬ence. 'He stressed the difference inaims of the two universities.The President’s closing words in¬dicated the uncertainty of the pres¬ent status of the merger. “Thewhole proposal may yet prove to beimpractical, inexpedient and impos¬sible. If it does I shall shed some nat¬ural tears, for the conception is agrand one, and one that is in accord¬ance with the high traditions andglorious past of your Alma Mater.”Hold IntramuralWrestling Finalsin Bartlett TodaySETTLEMENT LEAGUEPRESENTS CHRISTMASPROGRAM TONIGHTBEAUTY HINTSA large number of campus wom¬en who take their complexions seri¬ously (and what wise child doesn’t?)attended a lecture-demonstration onthe care, treatment, and proper cos¬metics for the individual complexionyesterday at Reader’s drug store.A personal representative of Hel¬ena Rubenstein, famous cosmetician,demonstrated steps in complexioncare, and '"ollowing the talk, teawas served.

McQuilkinWednesday, December 13, 1933A GLORIOUS PASTAND A HOPEFUL FUTUREPresident Hutchins began his address yester¬day by congratulating University students upontheir composure during discussions with North¬western.What he said in the rest of his speech servedto heighten and stabilize that composure.Those who possess intrinsic loyalty to the Uni¬versity saw with the President a manifest destinywhich has made the University a constant, pro¬gressive, stimulating itader in higher education forthe last forty-two years.They see a chance for the University to lead allhigher learning out of its present American medio¬crity by setting a precedent, and their composureis shaken a little as they share the President’s en¬thusiasm for consolidation with Northwestern un¬less the proposal is indeed “impractical, inexpedi¬ent, and impossible,”—J. P. B.THE MAROONAND THE PURPLEAll ruminations by collegiate and professionalsports writers on the Conference standing of pros¬pective Chicago-Northwestern cooperative con¬solidation have omitted the obvious answer: pro¬ceed as before!That neither undergraduate school will be dis¬continued under any circumstances is the rarestquoted, but truest statement emerging from thediscussions with Northwestern.Since this is almost the sole statement that canbe taken as definite, it is reasonable to assumethat the athletic veneer of neither undergraduateschool will be abolished.Evanston College and Midway College of theUniversities of Chicago-Northwestern will stillcompete in all Conference sports from football tofencing, all rumors to the contrary.We do not strive to abolish sport-writers’ rightsto rumination, except on the grounds that theydo it very badly.Ideally, sport speculations of this country’snewspapers should be limited to the selection ofAll-American teams and the meaning of amateurstanding.But their insistence on printing rumors thatseem calculated to prove that the University willhave neither a football team nor a freshman classnext year impeils The Daily Maroon to call themunintentional, unwitting liars, who know not whatthey do.Not only shall Evanston College and MidwayCollege be members of the Big Ten, but there isno reason why they should not compete againstone another in the course of regular Conferencerotation.Interesting is the story about how football re¬lations were severed between the two schools.\ Mr. Stagg, one year, brought his Maroons toDyche Stadium where the Purple, trimmed themright prettily by getting Tiny Lewis, famed N. U.back, eligible an hour or so before the game.Rightly, Mr. Stagg felt that this was almostmore than he could bear, but he went on withthe game anyhow.But the final straw came when Gustafson, theflying Swede, ran for a touchdown from the re¬ceiving end of a kick-off by the bewildered Ma-Mr. Stagg never honored the Purple with hisMaroons again.But this hold-off in football between the twoschools is out of date. Even its humorous aspectsare becoming a little stale now.We believe the sporting men and women ofboth schools would enjoy a renewed footballrivalry between Chicago and Northwestern. Ifthe rivalry between the Evanston and Mid¬way colleges of the same institution, things wouldbecome even more interesting and exciting.AH machinations of the merger have so farbeen oral, misquoted, and therefore misunder¬stood.Varsity athletics have not once been mentionedseriously by those who are investigatnig possibil¬ities of Chicago-Northwestern cooperation, whichcorrectly places varsity athletics in a position ofsmall significance in discussions and institutions ofhigher learning.Yet it might be well for Presidents Scott andHutchins to seriously announce for the placationof rah-rah students and rah-rah alumni of bothschools that neither the Purple nor the Maroonswill be abandoned, because it is in the nature ofrah-rahs to make trouble.—J. P. B.The Travelling BazaariBy SIDNEY HYMANMILT OLIN ON DECKAs a freshman, we always held before us MiltOlin’s column, “The Shadow,” as an ideal to ap¬proximate. As a sophomore, we aspired to writesomething like his “Piffle.” And as a junior, wefind that we have failed to accomplish either ob¬jective. So we bring you, in our dying days,one of Milt’s own:I had the misfortune to become a columniston campus very early in my college days, andso Johnny Barden somehow got the idea that Icould write a column, so it was going to be one aa quarter, but Harry and Sidney did so well thatI hadn’t the heart to step in until today, whenSidney came to me and said, “You write it.” Hemeant that after Mary Haskell won the PHOE¬NIX contest, I almost had to say something tothe face of the little world which lies withinthes quadrangles, and so it is that I didn’t haveeven a little finger in the damn’ competition, be¬cause Ray Dunne, my business manager, wouldn’thave allowed it, for even if I had such ignobleintentions, I can imagine him saying. “Think ofthe reputation of our magazine! Folks will callit POLITICS, my young fran’, and then where’llwe be?” And so the thing definitely was on theup and up. And Mary won. And I don’t have totake no rap.Once a Shadow’s Letter told dirt about peoplebehind their backs, but since I have given up eat¬ing dirt, I have lost ground as a collector of it,'but I might say, in the once usual, but adoles^cent, fashion, that:Teddy Linn talked too long at the football ban¬quet there were several anti-climaxes in hisspeech....

It meanstwo things, I find: first, freedom towrite indignant editorials withoutknowing whether they are true, andsecond, when they are proved nottrue, freedom to shift the blame fortheir publication upon some one else.I refer, of course, to this master¬piece of editorial “buck-passing”which appeared in Friday’s Ma¬roon: “Mr. Stalnaker has no oneto blame for this editorial other thanhis immediate superior, Mr. LouisL. Thurstone. If Mr. Thurstone hadbeen willing to discuss the questionwith The Daily Maroon, neitherhe nor anyone on his staff wouldhave been mistreated editorially.”It does not seem to have occurredto the author of these words thatProfessor Thurstone’s right “to dis¬cuss or not to discuss” is just as in¬violable as “the freedom of thepress” about which newspaper edi¬tors are now so much concerned. Hisrefusal to discuss the matter givesno license to the publication of mis¬information.Respectfully yours,Linton J. Keith.We stand absolutely by the prin¬ciple of that editorial. Certain min¬or Information we would have in¬cluded, but it wa.s refused by Prof.Thurstone’s discourtesy.

And more than thatshe ha.s an undeniable talent forwearing clotljes. And so the collegewoman of today is both the inspira¬tion and the ideal for those, who de¬sign clothes for all women betweenthe ages of 15 and 45.But she isn’t just a clothes-horse.She’d rather be caught dead t’nanbe discovered wearing somethingthat was “stylish” but at hopelessodds with her own personality. Yes,indeed, she has very definite ideason what to wear and how to wear itNot enough to apply the currentfashion to herself and the result—judge for yourself—is young Amer¬ica at its best.Those clever people at MarshallField and Company don’t have to betold about that. BXit now they areorganizing a nation-wide contest togive the college woman her due andto recognize officially her keen“clothes sense.” Beginning today andcontinuing through January 20, theyare sponsoring the Young AmericanDesign Contest, to be conducted in350 colleges and universities.You don’t have to be an aii:ist tosubmit a design. If you can draw,sketch your own model and put thedress of your dreams on it. But ifyour fingers are all thumbs when itcomes to art, the contest directorswill .supply you with models andwith samples of materials to inspireyou. And, more than that, eachweek, in The Daily Maroon, will ap¬pear a column of style hints just offthe boat from Paris, so you will besure to be “style-right.”A distinguished committee of styl¬ists will judge the designs and awardprizes as follows: $150, first prize;$125, second prize; $100, third prize;$76, fourth prize; $50, fifth prize;and additional prizes ranging downto $10. And more than that, everyentrant whose design wins one ofthe prizes will be presented with adress made on her own original de¬sign by Marshall Field and Company.So get out the pencils and paperfnd jot down those ideas. Entryblanli^ and information about thecontent can be obtained from BettyHansen at the office of The DailyMaroon.

It may be papa who pays, but, asusual, there is an exception to therule. This was observed at a recentdance held at the New Mexico Statecollege when the women had to paythe admission, trade the dances, dothe tagging, . . . and take the menhome, all as the result of a collegecustom.But, breaking away from custom,the women at Washington State col¬lege recently listened to a lectureconcerning the finer points of foot¬ball plays and rules.

Almost any further savingswill damage them still further. Theyhave exhausted the possibilities ofthat type of economy which pro¬motes efficiency.Disadvantages of CompetitionIn our speculations as to the con¬sequences of duplication and com¬petition we must consider not onlythe present situation, but also theone the future may bring us if theuniversities remain separate. Thecasual interest of donors, the ambi¬tions of faculties, graduates, trus¬tees, or presidents may any or allof them tempt either university atany moment to imitate on its owncampus what is already being donenext door. The fact that it is beingdone next door instead of leadingto refusal to do likewise often seemsto add zest to the undertaking. Ihave difficulty in believing that suchcompetition is beneficial to the com¬munity, to the nation, or to the high¬er learning.Up to thjs point I have been deal¬ing with purely financial questionsand questions that may be calledboth educational and financial. Wepass now to issues purely education¬al. I omit such obvious matters asthe ability of the combined and strengrthened universities to attractthe greatest scholars and the beststudents. I assume you can see al¬ready that there are not enough fineteachers and scholars in the UnitedStates to go round. I shall not re¬fer to the effect on education andresearch v/f uniting the efforts ofthe members of each faculty. I wishto discuss the relation of this pro¬posal to the manifest destiny andthe peculiar mission of The Univer¬sity of Chicago. Mr. Rockefellerthought he was establshing a smallBaptist college in the Middle West.Mr. Harper knew better. Mr. Harperknew, and soon Mr. Rockefelleragreed with him, that he was found¬ing a great university to give tre¬mendous new imp' .us to educationand scholarship in the United States.That he succeeded is patent to everyone. The consequences are visibleon every hand. I think it is fair tosay, for instance, that the state uni¬versities of the Middle West couldnever have reached their presentpitch of eminence without the inspir¬ation and exam’-le of the Univer¬sity of Chicago. The University ofChicago came into the West to es¬tablish a great community of schol¬ars, to strike out new paths, andto make what was at that momentthe vital contribution that Americaneducation required. Its appearancehere changed the whole educationalscene. It is the greatest single factin the last half century of Americaneducation.Chicago Should Take LeadPerhaps it is impossible for your•Alma Mater to supply once more theleadership she has given in the past. Perhaps this particular pioposal isnot one she can or should adopt.Perhaps this particular venture issurrounded by such legal, sentimen¬tal, and financial difficulties thathowever meritorious it may be inprinciple the University cannot putit into practice. If this ,tums out tobe the case I hope two other uni¬versities may set the example forthe country, for it is an example thecountry needs now as never before.Faces Educational CrisesEducation as a whole is passingthrough the most serious crisis in ourhistory.

A more reasoned confid¬ence is needed to support the struc¬ture in times like these. And yetthe educational world has given lit¬tle evidence that it is ready to pre¬sent reasons. It wants to remain asit is and receive the same old sup¬port in the same old faith. For ex¬ample : the most authoritative pro¬posals for federal aid to public edu¬cation call for a per* capita distri¬bution of federal money to theschools of the country. Any sucharrangement would perpetuate allthe weakness and w^aste of the pres¬ent system. And that is what mosteducators want. They do not wantto be disturbed, or improved, orchanged; they want to be support¬ed. Some great institutions mustshow that they are ready to adopta sane organization and ready toclarify their aims. If some greatinstitutions will provide the leader¬ship, intelligence may yet prevail inAmerican education.Too Many CollegesOur forefathers sprayed collegesall over this country, establishingone in almost every village andhamlet. Most of them have serveda useful purpose to this day. Now,however, the development of trans¬portation and the cooling of denom¬inational differences have deprivedmany of them of a reason for exist¬ence. The reasons for it are whollyirrelevant to their educational excel¬lence. If two outstanding univer¬sities, founded by different churchesand enshrined in the hearts of theirfriends and graduates, can actuallycome together because they believe it is in the best interests of educa¬tion and research, something mayhappen in American education. Andthat something I beg to suggest musthappen before this country can hopeto make effective use of its educa¬tional resources.Need Reduction in UnitsAmerican education needs notmerely a reduction in the multiplic¬ity of its units; if it is to deservepublic support it must make itselfclear. I defy you to give an adequatedefinition of an elementary school,a high school, a junior college, acollege, a professional school or auniversity. The University of Chi¬cago has been working hard on thesedefinitions for the past three years.We think we have made some prog¬ress. But we cannot claim to knowthe answers to all the questions inall these areas.With emphasis in Evanston on un¬dergraduate education, o • the SouthSide on research and improvementsin collegiate education, and downtown on professional education 11 ’community service, we might havesometime the three strongest centersin the.se three areas in the world . . .All these things are possible. Noneof them is C'^rtain. Since no defin¬ite plan has yet been proposed allw’e can do is preserve an open minduntil we see what can be workedout . . . The whole pi-oposal mayprove to be impractical, inexpedi¬ent, and impossible. If it does Ishall shed some natural tears, forthe conception is a grand one, andone that is consonant with the hightraditions and the glorious past ofyour Alma Mater.
