WALGREEN: In acceptingthe invitation of this Committee toappear before it, I propose to con¬fine my!»elf to the discussion of myown personal experience growingout of the attendance of my nieceat the University of Chicago. I .shall j ^nd capitalism and lightly I said to.simply acquaint you with the prob-. Lucille. “You are getting to be athe subjects which they are teaching, and their statements generallycarry a gi’eat weight with the stu¬dents, and correctly so. Therefore,it becomes a serious matter when aprofessor upon being asked, “Whatdo you think of free love?” replies:“I believe in free love for myself.”This is a tenet of communism.It is not actually taught thatthe family is an institution whichhas outlived its usefulness. How¬ever, grave doubts are left in themind as to its nece.ssity or import¬ance. For practical purposes it isof little consequence whether thepoint is made by direction or indi¬rection.Various subjects were of coursediscussed. I will confine myself tothe subject at hand.Communism and CapitalismWe were di.scussing communism HOLD HEARING INSTATE'S QUIZ OFUNIVERSITY ‘REDS'C. Merriam VindicatesPolitical ScienceStafflem which confronted me and theaction I took and my reasons fortaking it..My niece, Lucille Norton, now 1years of age, wa.s graduated fromLincoln High School of SeattleWashington in June of 1934. Shewas then residing in that City withher widowed mother. In the summor of 1934 her mother visited myhome. During the course of her visitI .succeeded in persuading her tohave her daughter come here in theFall and enroll in the University ofChicago. Lucille did so and she became a member of our family circleand has .since resided at my home.Studied EconomicsAs a part of her High Schoolcourse Lucille studied economics andcivics and majored in history. Frommy contact with her she impre.ssedme as a girl taking intere.st in thingswhich usually engaged the mind ofanyone of her age, family trainingand education. She expressed nodecided views upon social, economicor governmental questions.After attending the University ofChicago for a time her thoughts asdisclosed by her conversation cen¬tered on communism and its varioustendencies. During her first quarterat the University, Social Science wasa compulsory subject. Among the.'’elected reading it required in thesyllabus of it the Communism Man¬ifesto by Carl Marx and F. Engels,in which the institution of the fam¬ily, as we know it, is belittled andcriticized and its alleged sacrednessridiculed. She took the course anddid the required reading and it wasduring this period that she told methat the family as an institution wasdisappearing.Family Declines—I asked her where she got thatidea and she answered, “At school.”She told me at a lecture marriagewas described as an institution thatwas not universal and that tiieiewere varying standards of moralsand that was at a group at whichboth sexes were present and moralquestions were discussed. After themeeting the leader was asked whysuch subjects were brought up andtreated so thoroughly and the cla.ss 1 chose the themeleader an.swered “Who shall say that, Marx.”our system is the best?”Mother Won’t UnderstandJ When I asked her what her Moth¬er would think of the discussions int|ie cla8.srooms, she answered: “Oh,lother would not understand.” I,had induced her to leave a very communist,” and she .said “I am notthe only one—there are a lot moreon the campus.”I said to Lucille, “Do you realizethat this means the abolition of thefamily, the abolition of the churchand especially do you realize itmeans the overthrow of our govern¬ment?” And she said, “Yes, I thinkI do, but doesn’t the end ever jus¬tify the means?”“Don’t you realize this meansbloodshed?” I said.Again she said “Yes, but how didwe get our independence—wasn’t itby revolution?”“Well, Lucille, are they reallyteaching you these things over atthe University?” I a.sked. And she.said “No, I don’t think they areteaching it to u.s.”Are they advocating thesethings?” and she said, “No, not ex¬actly.”“Well,” I said, “where do you getail these radical ideas?”Communism Stressed—“Well,” she said, “we have a lotof reading on communism” and Isaid, “More than on about our owngovernment?” and she said, “Oh,yes, much more. So far we haven’tgot much of that.”“Well, how about collectiveness,fascism, syndicalism, anarchy—didyou get all those?” And she said,‘Yes, they were explained to us inour classes and we were given much,but mostly reading, largely on com¬munism.” And she said, “Anyway, jisn’t communism vs. capitalism theissue? At least it is at the Univer¬sity.”Among other things they wereasked to read on communism is theLittle Primer. “Well, who asked youto read this?” I asked. “One of ourinstructors read excerpts in classand recommended that we studiouslyread the Little Pi’imer,” Lucille said.Patriotism ChildishFrom other sources I have sincelearned that any emotion regardingthe flag or any patriotism is lookedupon fcs being childish.Ont of the courses Lucille wa.staking was the English course—itmay be of some significance that sheThe Meaning of Acme I'hotoA view of the County Board room as Prof. Charles E. Merriam, chairman of the department of PoliticalScience, testified before the state senate investigating committee. Pres. Robert M. Hutchins is shown in thefront row, third from the left.Now we come to the five pagesof suggested subject matter: “Dis¬cuss the following quotation critical¬ly as a starting point from whichto frame a new social policy for thepolicies which we now confront.”One of the quotations given Is1 rmal home to pursue her educa-1 from the English translation of II in’s “New Russia’s Primer” whichis required to be read by Russianchildren. Let me emphasize thatthis a.ssignment was a part of herEnglish course and not a part of hersocial science class. Again in thesame assignment, a quotation is giv¬en for criticism from Stuart Chase,in part as follows:“It must be more than a littleof a bore to be a business man dedi¬cated to a life of unrelenting greed.’Reasons for WithdrawalTwo major considerations persuaded me to take my niece out ofthe University. First, I knew thatneither her early training and edu¬cation nor her contacts outside ofthe campus could account for theviews which were disclosed by myconversations with her while shewas taking those courses at the Uni¬versity. I could ascribe her views toone cause only, and that was thecharacter of instruction given nerduring the period of her attendancethere. Mr. Hutchins remarked inhis speech of April 18, 1935:“No university would permitthem (the faculty) to indoctrinatethe students with their vices.”In spite of what he has said, Iinfer from my conversation withmy niece that she has been “in¬doctrinated” with these views. Sec¬ond, I am persuaded that the meth¬ods used in the social science andEnglish courses already referred toevidence a subtle and insidious de¬sign to impress, by indirection, com¬munistic views on the student mind.I quote from a letter written byone employed by a prominent uni¬versity:Insidious PropagandaWhat insidious propagandaagainst the home and our govern¬ment is being spread under theguise of open minded instruction isO'bvious to a host of distressed on¬lookers. But the cloak of protec¬tion given by an educational insti¬tution in the name of freedom ofthought and speech renders protestexceedingly difficult. Yet this so-called freedom of thought on thepart of educators is turned into askillful moulding and warping ofthe plastic, non-resistive minds ofyoung students. They cannot comeout of their classes free to maketheir own decisions and judgments.The die has been cast for them.Whatever documents I have inmy possession bearing upon this con¬troversy are subject to the inspec¬tion of the committee and if sodesired will be produced by Mr.Fleming.SENATOR GRAHAM: Have you concluded your remarks, Mr. Wal-1 get permission.green?A Yes.Q What professor was it thatrequired that the Karl Marx Mani¬festo be carefully read?A It is listed in that syllabus asindispensable reading. It is Profes¬sor Gideon’s.

That wasset out in the primer, was it?A Yes. It was a part, I onlyquoted a part. For instance, as I rec¬ollect, in this English subject itwent on and said “In Russia we havea plan.”Q An excerpt? A Yes. “Andin America you have no plan,” andso forth and so on, all comparisonsbeing favorable to Russia.SENATOR BARBOUR: Q Is thatthe five-year plan that PresidentHoover talked a good deal about, alive and let live?A This, I understand, is theirown plan in Russia.Q And this gives definite inform¬ation as to what that plan is?A Yes.Q And we have a better plan?A I think so.Q Well, I do too.

The concluding sentences fol¬low:)SENATOR BARBOUR: You ask¬ed me the question. It is neither thepractice in courts nor in committeesto defer the making of a statementon both sides to take in all the doc-mentary evidence that one side hasand consider it. You said somethingabout logic. I have lost all trackof logic and all appreciation of it inthe eighteen years that I have beenin the Legislature.MR. FLEMING: You evidencethat fact. Senator, by your own ac¬tions here.SENATOR BARBOUR: Well, Iagree with you.University CaseTHE CHAIRMAN: Mr. Bell, doyou care to be heard at this time?MR. BELL: Mr. Chairman. Ifthe Committee will bear with us, I(Continued on page 2) Charges were brought into theopen for the first time as CharlesWalgreen and forces from the Uni¬versity came face to face yesterdaybefore the state committee assem¬bled in the County building to deter¬mine whether or not communism ex¬ists on the Midway.Free love was introduced for theconsideration of the investigatorswhen the prominent druggist stat¬ed that standards of morals weretalked of in a discussion sectionattended by his niece, Lucille Nor¬ton. Later when questioned on thispoint by the senate committee, heclarified his allusion and stipulatedthat Assistant professor FrederickL. Schuman had said that he “be¬lieved in free love for himself.”More Than 200 AttendProfessor Charles Merriam in histestimony for the University enter¬ed as “exhibit C” the wife and twofat children of Professor Schumanas pertinent to an understanding ofhis attitude in the case.Schuman’s assertion was made ina jocular mood at a symposium withassociate professor Harry Gideonselast winter, and takes on differentmeaning when removed from its con¬text. This was the only mention offree love during the all-morning ses¬sion.The 200 or more people whojammed the court room buzzed andgiggled during the questioning ofWalgreen by the committee beforeHarold H. Swift, president of theBoard of Trustees, Robert M. Hutch¬ins, Charles Merriam, and Mrs. EdithFoster Flint began the presentationof the University’s stand.Read ManifestoSenator Richey V. Graham, thechairman of the committee of inves¬tigation, asked Mr. Walgreen whichprofessor it w’as that required thatthe Karl Marx manifesto be readcarefully.WALGREEN; It is listed in thesyllabus as indispensable reading. Itis Professor Gideon’s. (Referring toassociate professor Harry Gideonse.)As a matter of fact, they stated inclass, recommended to be read, ex¬cerpts from the book, and furtherurged its reading.SENATOR BARBOUR: ProfessorGideon?WALGREEN: Yes.SENATOR GRAHAM: G-i-d-e-o-n,is that right?WALGREEN: I think so.SENATOR BARBOUR: Is he theman that puts the bibles in the hotelroom?WALGREEN: I think it is his fa¬ther; the old-fashioned kind.The University forces took thestand after Joseph B. Fleming, coun¬sel for Mr. Walgreen, took 20 min¬utes to discuss with Senator Grahamthe advisability of presenting hiscollected documents before the otherside of the case was heard. Sincesome committee-members had toleave for Springfield early in theafternoon, Fleming’s filibuster wasended and Harold Swift was intro¬duced to the floor.Hutchins Gives PolicySwift, and President Hutchinswho followed him, gave statisticalevidence of the University’s funda¬mental soundness of organizationand its record of service to the com¬munity. In referring to the policytoward the outside activities of fac¬ulty members President Hutchinssaid:“The University would notpermit the indoctrination of stu¬dents or the use of the classroom as the center of propa¬ganda.

Merriam who is the headof the department in question. Itwill not take very long.Trustee TestifiesMR. SWIFT: My name is HaroldH. Swift. I was born in the City ofChicago fifty years ago and havelived on the south side of Chicagoall of my life. I am connected withSwift & Company, meat packers, inthe capacity of vice-president anddirector.I am president of the Board ofTrustees of the University of Chi¬cago. The other member’s of theBoard are: (Here the members arelisted).Ten of the thirty members arealumni of the University who, sincetheir entrance into the University20 to 40 years ago, have been in aposition to keep in especially closetouch with the life and activities ofthe University.I am an alumnus of the Univer¬sity of Chicago, having entered theUniversity in the fall of 1903 andgraduated in June, 1907. Continu¬ously since entering the UniversityI have been in active touch with Uni¬versity affairs, living most of thetime within a mile of the University.After graduation I was active inalumni work; became a member ofthe Board of Trustees in 1914 andbecame President of the Board in1922, in which capacity I have serv¬ed since that time.During this interval of time, I jhave known a considerable number |of faculty members representing a Ic^’oss section of the whole group. Ihave also known a considerablenumber of undergraduate students,ranging in numbers from forty toseventy-five each year, which I havedone deliberately so that I mighthave intimate knowledge of whatwas going on in the University. Re¬cently I have known several studentswhose parents were students in theUniversity when I was, and, havingthis acquaintanceship with the chil¬dren while continuing my friendshipwith the parents, has been particular¬ly helpful in keeping in touch with !the situation. Further, in conjunc-!tion with the Board of Trustees, !I have examined carefully into the !specific questions under considera-1tion here. II have no hestiancy in affirming |that I am entirely convinced that 1there is no Communistic teaching in Ithe University and that no memberof the University faculty is a Com¬munist. I am convinced that no fac¬ulty member advocates the violentoverthrow of the government nortries to instill such ideas in theminds of the students. iOutside Evaluations IUnder the circumstances of this}meeting, it is quite proper to put jforward some outside evaluations of |the University. According to every jsurvey of which I have heard, the IUniversity of Chicago is rated as jone of the two greatest universities |in America. In the .so-called Hughes |report of 1925, in which twenty de- ipartments in all leading universities iwere given numerical rankings bythe vote of specialists in each field, |Chicago was rated first in more de- Ipartments than any other univer¬sity. In the 1934 report of the Com¬mittee on Graduate Instruction ofthe American Council on Education, ^based on a survey <)f thirty-five de- I partments, or fields of knowledge,I Harvard was found to have twenty-three distinguished departments. Chi¬cago twenty-one.In the publication, “AmericanMen of Science,” which lists the sci¬entists of America and indicates bya star the names of those who aredistinguished in their respectivefields, Chicago has the greater num¬ber of starred scientists in propor¬tion to its faculty of any Americanuniversity, and is second only toHarvard in the total number ofstarred scientists.A study made in 1929 by the Sec¬retary of the Association of .Ameri¬can Colleges showed that The Uni¬versity of Chicago led all other in¬stitutions in producing teachers ofdistinction.Win Nobel PrizesMore Nobel Prizes (four) havebeen awarded to the University ofChicago scientists than to those ofany other American university. |This record is the more remark-!able when it is realized that TheUniversity of Chicago is one of theyoungest of American univensities:(only forty-three years old), and ,has endowment funds less than half ias large as that of Harvard, and well |below that of some other Eastern ’universities. 'We welcome the opportunity ofmaking the University’s po.sition:clear to this committee and to the !public.THE CHAIRMAN: Mr. Hutchins, jPresident TalksMR. HUTCHINS: Your committee Ihas the duty of discovering whether jthere is any foundation for the jcharge that “subversive communisticteachings and ideas advocating the;violent overthrow” of the govern-1ment “have been instilled in the |minds of many students of certain itax-exempt colleges and universities jin the State.” jIn this investigation. The Univer¬sity of Chicago is glad to cooperate.The charges made against the Uni¬versity are without foundation. ;The University of Chicago has I901 teachers. They teach 3,492courses. I am glad to hand the Com¬mittee the complete catalogue of theUniversity indicating the nature and jscope of its work. I have examined jthis material wdth care and find init nothing of a subversive communis-!tic character; nowhere is there theslightest indication that ideas advo¬cating the violent overthrow of thegovernment are instilled into theminds of students. If the Commit¬tee, on inspecting these documents,wishes further information aboutany course, we shall be glad to sup¬ply it.I now wish to refer particularlyto those courses dealing with social,political, and economic problems. Ihave, here the complete outlines of161 of these courses. There is noth¬ing subversive in them. I presentthem to the Committee for examin¬ation. If the Committee wishes ad-1ditional data in regard to any coursewe shall undertake to provide it. |I call your attention particularlyto the syllabus in Social Science I, jthe general course taken by Fresh-jmen and Sophomores. The references Ito Communism are entirely to books;these books discuss different viewsof the subject. For your convenienceI have had separately printed thelist of required and optional read¬ings in this course. You will notethe wide variety of subjects, authors,and attitudes which this list reveals.It is impossible to assert that stu¬dents are being “indoctrinated.”Throughout its teaching the Uni¬versity attempts to discuss importantproblems critically, objectively, andscientifically. In order to guardagainst the effects of individual bias,the Univer.sity deliberately appointsin the same department, men ofwidely different points of view. Inthe Department of Economics, forexample, there are 17 men, one ofwhom is a Socialist, and the rest ofwhom ranges from progressive to re¬actionary Democrats and Republi¬cans.The members of the Faculty arelaw-abiding, patriotic citizens. Someof them, of course, are dissatisfiedwith current economic, social, andpolitical conditions in this country.But they all believe in orderlychange under the law. None of themadvocates or has advocated the vio¬lent overthrow of the government.On behalf of the faculty, I repudiatethe charges against them.(Hutchins then presented a list ofoptional and indispensable readingsfrom the Social Science I syllabtis.)Attitude Toward FacultyThe University would not permitthe indoctrination of students or theuse of the class room as a center ofpropaganda. On the other hand, theprofessor is not disfranchised whenhe takes an academic post. He mayjoin any church, club, or party; hemay think, live, worship, and vote;as he pleases. The University can- i not, of course, have a professor whoI commits illegal acts. Under the lawsi of Illinois it is illegal to advocateI the overthrow of the government by\ violence. (See People vs. 'LJoyd, 304I Ill. 23). The University would there-I fore dismiss any professors who, be-■ fore an appropriate tribunal, wasj proved to have advocated the over-i throw of the government by vio-j lence. Anybody who thinks that any■ of our faculty are doing so shouldinform the State’s Attorney so thata prosecution may be instituted.Serves Community: The University of Chicago hasi admittedly the stronge.st group ofj social scientists in the world. These' men are not only engaged in teach¬ing and research; they are also per-; forming daily great services to thiscommunity.In the first place, I should like toread a letter from Charles P. |Schwartz, Chairman of the Execu-1tive Committee of the Committee on ICitizenship and Naturalization of theStale of Illinois.April 16, 1935.Mr. Harold H. Swiit, C’nairman |Board of Trustees, University of jChicago !Chicago, Illinois.Dear Sir:In connection with the charge of |un-Americanism leveled against theUniversity of Chicago by Mr. Wal-'green, I feel it my duty, as Chair- 'man of the State Committee on Citi- jzenshin and Naturalization to call jyour attention to the very fine con- itribution this University made to the !very cause w’hich concerns us all, |namely, American Citizenship.President Robert Maynard Hutch-;ins, in April of this year, set up andconducted, without charge, at the re-1quest of the Committee, a teachers’ |Institute that has for its object the jpreparation of teachers to teach i.American Citizenship in the public jschools throughout the State. Over |one hundred teachers without jobsattended this Institute and receivedfree instruction in this field fromsuch men as Profes.sors Charles fc.Merriam, Jerome Kerwin, John H.Marion, Harold Gosnell, Edith Ab¬bott, Ellsworth Paris, William S.Gray and many others. These teach¬ers are now employed organizingclasses and teaching Civics, Historyand English to the non-citizens ofIllinois, of whom there are some360,000.This patriotic service, the first ofits kind in the country, so impresseditself on both State and Federal au¬thorities that President Hutchins hasbeen asked by the Committee to en¬large its scoop along national lines.Citizenship training must be madeavailable for both citizens and non¬citizens alike with 12,000 functional¬ly illiterate.For the Committee I want to ex¬press its appreciation to the Uni¬versity of Chicago and its loyal stafffor its patriotic service and urgethem to still greater effort on be¬half of our community, state andnation, irrespective of the baselesscharges of treason laid at their doorby citizen Walgreen.Very truly yours,(Signed) Charles P. Schwartz.Chairman.Among the members of the .Ad¬visory Committee of the Committeeon Citizenship and Naturalization areChief Justice Jones of the SupremeCourt; Paul C. Armstrong of theAmerican Legion; Walter W. Wil¬liams of the Illinois Chamber ofCommerce; Robert J. Dunham of theIllinois Emergency Relief; L. A.Downs, A. D. Lasker, Silas Strawn,Lawrence Armour, and Howard Fen¬ton.Lists Services—Second, I call your attention tothe work of the Chicago RecreationCommission, Four members of theUniversity faculty serve on thatCommission.Third, in the present emergencythe School of Social Service Admin¬istration has trained 75 per cent ofthe relief workers in Chicago. TheDean of the School is a member ofthe Advisory Board of Cook CountyBureau of Public Welfare. Threemembers of the faculty givecourses about the state for theEmergency Relief Commission. Nofees are charged and no compensa¬tion is paid by the Commission.Fourth, Professor L. D. Whitewas for two years a member of theChicago Civil Service Commissionand is now on leave as United StatesCivil Service Commissioner.Fifth, Professor Simeon E. Le-land is a member of the Illinois TaxCommission.Sixth, in the important area ofadult education, the University isrepresented by University College inthe Loop which has 2,300 studentsand gives public lectures attendedannually by several thou.sand more.Dean Huth of University Collegewas last year President of the AdultCouncil of Chicago.Seventh, the public school systemhas consi.stcntly relied on the Uni¬ versity. Professor Wo^rks is chair¬man of the Advisory Committee ofthe new junior colleges. ProfessorsJudd, Henry and Morrison and ourspecialists in methods of teachingare in constant touch with theschools.Eighth, Professor Jordan of theDepartment of Hygiene and Bacteri¬ology, is a member of the Board ofHealth. Other members of the De¬partment are on the Board’s scien¬tific staff.Ninth, Professor Puttkammer ofthe Law School has had charge ofthe Police Training and drew up themanual of instruction used in thatschool.Tenth, Professors Merriam andLcland played an active part in thework of the Committee on the Res¬cue of Chicago and on Mayor Cer-mak’s Advisory Committee.Eleventh, all the departments ofthe local government, except fireand engineering have used the workof the University Committee on Lo¬cal Community Research. This ma¬terial has been particularly usefulto the Chicago Plan Commi.ssion. Onthis work the University has spentalmost a million dollars since 1927.Plan Commision—Tw’elfth, there are now 17 nation¬al and international organizations ofgovernmental officials affiliated withthe University and housed next tothe campus. These organizations, incooperation with the University, areserving numerous departments of lo¬cal government and countle.ss statesand municipalities.Thirteenth, the Central Free Dis¬pensary maintained on the WestSide by the University’s Ru.sh Medi¬cal College has treated an averageof about 100,000 patients a year,without charge. The UniversityClinics on the^ South Side in th^ last9 months gave 23.6'J of all its out¬patient services free, the total valuebeing $228,056.60. Of all hospital¬ization at the University Clinics,24.3 was free. In the ChicagoLying-In Hospital affiliated with theUniversity and considered a part ofthe Clinics, of 35,580 days ofhospital care given during the lastfiscal year was given withoutcharge and another 45 Vr was charged at cost. The maternity serviceoperated by the Lying-In Hospitalfor home care delivered 620 babiesduring this time, 489 of these casesbeing without charge, 79 others pay¬ing less than $15, and the remaining52 paying $15, the cost of the serv¬ice. The Stockyards Dispensaryoperated by the Lying-In Hospitalhandled 7,000 cases in a pre-natalclinic, 8097 of this service beingfree, the other 2097 on the basis of25 cents for the first visit, 10 centsfor subsequent visits.Subsidized StudentsOf the 6,000 students now on thecampus, one-fourth are receivingsubsidies, chiefly in the form ofscholarships, but also in loans andgrants-in-aid. The total cost to theUniversity of these subsidies thisyear exceeds $400,000.The University has for more than40 years maintained the UniversitySettlement in the Stock Yards Dis¬trict.These are merely samples of thekind of work constantly being doneby the University for this commun¬ity. If the staff of the University isto be subject to irresponsible attacksupon their loyalty and patriotism,the faculty will disintegrate andChicago will lose not only the dis-tionction of containing one of thegreat universities of the world, butalso the invaluable services of thepublic spirited experts who are itsprofessors.SENATOR GRAHAM: Thank you.MR.

MERRIAM:—and gentlemenof the Committee:My name is Charles E. Merriam;son of a civil war veteran, educat¬ed in an Iowa college, and in theuniversities of New York, Berlin andParis, also in the great school ofpractical affairs. I may say that Ihave learned more from men thanfrom books. I am a member of theSons of the American Revolutionand on the advisory committee ofthe Chicago Chapter. I did my partin the Great War and was decorat¬ed by the Italian government forservices in that country.I have served six years in theCity Council of Chicago. I have been a member of many boards andcommissions dealing with publicquestions in this city, county, andstate, among others under Governor’Deneen, Mayor Busse, and MayorsDever and (^ermak. During all thistime my devotion to the public in¬terest has never been seriously chal¬lenged. I admit that there are gen¬tlemen who from time to time haveapplied various epithets reflectingmore or less on my ancestry. I didnot take them seriously. (Laughter)..Record of 35 YearsI have been connected w’ith theUniversity of Chicago for 35 yearsand have devoted more time thananybody else in that institution tothe problem before your Commit- ’tee now, the problem of American ;civic education. 1 was a member ofthe Civic Education Committee un-1der Superintendent Bogan; I have,had charge of a series of studies ofcomparative civic education in the jleading countries of the world; andsubmit this volume on the makingof citizens, my summary on that isubject to your Committee, trustingthat you will read it carefully.I was for five years member ofthe National Commission on the So- •cial Studies in American schools,,contributing a volume on Civic Edu-'cation in the United States in theyear 1934, I call your particularattention to this volume, which Iplace before you, particularly onpage 42, and with your permissionI will read just about one minutefrom it. !“What shall be the general line or |direction of civic education in the ■United States? The basic pattern ofthe American system is democratic,and this particular pattern will fur¬nish a general backgound of civicattitudes.Attachment to the American na¬tion and to the general principlesof the democratic system will be thebasis of civic education in this groupupon which any consultation wouldbuild if he accepted the responsible ,task of general direction.”Department Chairman— ■I am Chairman of the Departmentof Political Science, and am chieflyresponsible for the type of civic edu- ication in the University of Chicago. !I gladly as.sume that responsibility, jfor I am proud of our woirk, which |is not perfect, but we know is sound jand good. The attacks directed atthe University of Chicago system ofcivic education must be aimed chief- Ily at me and at my standing and |work in this city and country. I re- jsent these charge.s, insinuations, or'innuendos against my life work in |and for this city and the University jand I denounce them as uninformed, |false, or malicious. jWhen did I become subversive or jbegin the overthrow of the American jGovernment? Within four years Iwas asked by Mayor Cermak to ac- jcept the presidency of the Board of |Education of Chicago. Evidently he 'did not fear any subversive tend- iencies on my part. I was asked by |Governor Horner if I would con- jsider a position in his administration, jI was appointed by President Hoov-!er a member of his Committee on jRecent Social Trends, evidently;without fear that I would turn that |body into a Communist factory. 1was appointed by President Roose¬velt a member of his important Na- itionul Resources Board, and have |been sitting there with five mem¬bers of the President’s Cabinet, jIckes, Dern, Roper, Wallace, Per- jkins, none of whom has thus far ap- Ipeared to fear revolutionary activ-;ities on my pat. I have gone in and iout among you for a generation and Iyou cannot say I have not fought■the fight, or kept the faith with thepeople of this city and nation.Who is it that now brings these(Continued on page 4) HOLD HEARING ININVESTIGATION OFUNIVERSITY ‘REOS’(Continued from page 1)course, have a professor whocommits illegal acts.

Whatare their credentials and standing?What facts do they supply to dis¬credit our v’ork?I charge these persons, wittinglyor unwittingly, with attacking one ofthe strongest forces for the stabiliza¬tion and maintenance of our civiliza¬tion—our University. I charge themwith efforts to break down and de¬stroy one of the greatest centers ofcivic instruction and governmentalresearch in America. I charge themwith attempted grand larceny of hu¬man reputation and achievement.These gentlemen cannot escapeby saying, “Merriam is a fine fellowbut he doesn’t know what is goingon.” I have been in the Universityof Chicago for 35 years. I live bangon the Campus, in the same place for26 years. I have had four childrenin the University of Chicago. Myhouse has been—I will not say in¬fested, but surrounded by studentsfor more than 20 years, and if Idon’t know in 20 years what is hap¬pening around there, then I am eith¬er incompetent or subversive.The gentlemen may say that I amnot in the city since I said I servedon these various Boards. In the 35years of my service I have skippedonly two periods, one time when Iwas rash enough to be candidate forMayor of the City of Chicago, andI took off one quarter, which wasenough, I think, as an experience,and I took off a year and a halfduring the Great Wair. I had arough time on both occasions.{Laughter).Five FieldsThe Department of Political Sci- jence deals with five fields of instruc- )tion and research. These are: Po- !litical Theory; Public Administra- jtion; Parties and Public Opinion; In¬ternational Relations; and (with theLaw School ) Public Law. I am fa¬miliar with what is given in thesecourses (descriptions attached) andI know they are not subversive incharacter or tending toward violentoverthrow of our government. Onthe contrary they tend to raise thelevel of civic information, interest,and public spirited activity. Our stu¬dents have gone out in hunctoedsover the United States and occupyimportant and responsible positionsin industry, agriculture, professions,government all over the land. Theyare the living refutation of the liesthat are being recklessly scatteredabout. To enumerate the list of lawmakers, administrators, judges whohave studied with us, would occupymore than my time. I need nameonly one—the Honorable T. V.Smith, Senator from the 5th Districtof Illinois. I submit the construc¬tive contributions of these men andwomen to American citizenship asan exhibit of what we are doing atthe University and in our Depart¬ment; and I rejoice that not all theshameless gossiping tongues in theworld can dim the luster of that roll.Department Personnel—For the personnel of our Depart¬ment I am chiefly responsible. Pro¬fessor Leonard D. White, is the lead¬ing authority in the United States onPublic Administration—for twoyears civil service commissioner un¬der Mayor Cermak, and now UnitedStates Civil Service Commissionerunder President Roosevelt. In Inter¬national Relations Professor QuincyWright ranks as one of tne mosteminent men in his field. LouisBrownlovr, Senator Henry Toll, Clar¬ence Ridley, Charles Ascher, GeorgeBenson and others are on our listpart time coming from the import¬ant group of governing officials lo¬cated across the street from the Uni¬versity in order to maintain contactwith our institution.Among the younger men are Dr.Dimock, in Public Administration,called upon by our Wrr Departmentto render important services to thatbranch of the government; Dr. Ker-win, an unusually capable instruc¬tor in the earlier cources; Drs. Lass-well, Schuman, Gosnell, Lepawsky.Midway Masonic TempleDANCE TONIGHTand Every Thurs. & Sat.6115 Cottage Grove Ave.Admission 40cPrivate Leaton*Teresa Dolan StudiosTel. Hyde Park 30801545 E. 63rd St. I am chiefly responsible for the se¬lection of these men and I knowthat none of these is a Communistor interested in inducing s tudentsto undertake the violent overthrowof our government.I am responsible for the selectionand retention of Dr. Schuman. Hewas one of my students, and is nowone of our best teachers and mostpromising research men in the fieldof international relations. He hasbeen honotred by the award of animportant fellowship by the SocialScience Research Council and againby the University of Pennsylvania.He is not a Communist, or a Social¬ist. There are doubtless some whothink badly of him for voting forRoosevelt in the last election, but Iam unable to regard that as subver¬sive or unconstitutional. He once al¬lowed his name to be used on a doc¬ument he had not read, but manybetter men have made worse mis¬takes.Let me say a word, gentlemen, asto what constitutes teaching. Andyet men say we teach communismin the Univeirsity of Chicago. Whatdo they mean by that? Or that weteach Fascism or Natzism or An¬archism or Pantheism or all theother isms that have been accumulat¬ed in the last four thousand yearsof the World’s intellectual experi¬ence. The records of those are inthe million volume library of theUniversity of Chicago and they arenot locked or sealed.Faith in Youth—We men have more faith in theminds of our young people than someof our fellow’ townsmen have. Wehave to have. We believe that whenthey learn about the various typesof institutions and governmentalfunctions that their attachment anddevotion to the American institutionwill rise higher than before. We donot believe, as some believe, that whenthey find out about it they w'ill goover to it, but on my own experienceof 35 years I am quite the contrary.With reference to this Social Sci¬ence syllabus to which Mr. Walgreenreferred, it is quite true that on page20 you will find Karl Marx’s Com¬munism Manifesto. That is one, andthen on the page is John Stuart Millson Private Property. On the otherpage you have Herbert Hoover onAmerican Individualism. Dowm be¬low that, that is Optional Reading,not Hoover, that is IndispensableReading. I notice these gentlemenseem to show’ a little bias by puttingdown President Roosevelt as OptionalReading. That, I think, we shouldhave changed.Presents ExhibitsJI present these men, and their ^1teaching records and teaching attain¬ments as exhibits of the work of ourDepartment. Oh, I don’t know whatSchuman may have said about freelove. I happen to know that he ismarried and he has two fat finebabies which I submit as Exhibit ”C”.If time permitted I should be gladto submit to you an account of theconstructive contributions made bythese men to government in theUnited States. The list is long andextends into many different fields,and I submit to you herewith the an¬nual report of the Department ofPolitical Science for 1934. We havea file of those running for a numberof years back if you care to look atthose.Some of these rank among the mostimportant contributions made to thebuilding up of our political institu¬tions in recent times. These worksare open books, used throughout theUnited States and in other countries.I have yet to find anyone who calledthem subversive in tendency. On thecontrary they have been receivedeverywhere as valuable additions tothe understanding of our institutionsand to the enrichment of our politi¬cal life. Modesty forbids mention ofmy own works, but I ask to readWhite’s Public Administration andsee if you find it subversive. Theworst anyone might say is soporific.I ask you to read Dimock’s Govern¬ ment Opearted Enterprises in thePanama Canal Zone, and see if theWar Department found it revolution¬ary.I ask you to examine Schuman’sworks on Nazis and see if it helps orhinders our democratic institutions.I ask you to look at Gosnell’s* Non-Voting Study and see what is sub¬versive except indifference on the partof our voters.Lasswell’s World Politics may con¬tain some long words, but I assureyou there is no revolution lurking inits polysyllables.I submit the constructive contribu¬tions made by members of our De¬partment as an exhibit of our activ¬ities, and again assert that they show’the trend and type of our efforts toaid in upbuilding American civiliza¬tion and advancing American politi¬cal progress.Set up PACHOn the practical side we have aid¬ed in setting up the Public Adminis¬tration Clearing House and theaffiliated seventeen associations ofgoverning officials, and in my judg¬ment that constitutes the greatestadvance made toward building uphonest and efficient administration inthe history of the United States of ^America. This center of govern- jmental experience and informationstands out as one of the major ;achievements to which w’e have di- |rected our efforts and I leave with jyou here a list and account of the iactivities of these national govern-1mental organizations, 18 in number, jw’hich deliberately shows that they jchose to make their location acrossthe campus from the University ofChicago because they w’anted to be intouch w’ith our people in govern¬mental economics and public welfareand so on.The Department of Political Sci¬ence submits its personnel, its teach¬ing forces and its research programand accomplishments confident thatw'hen fully examined they will befound sound and constructive con¬tributions to American citizenshipand to better organization of our in¬stitutions and practices.What W’e tend to subvert is notAmerican institutions but misunder-.standing, injustice, corruption, graft,waste, special privilege in Americanpublic life. If there is unrest in thisland, and there is, and if many menin their bitterness and discontentreach out blindly in a feverish strug¬gle to find a way out, then seek outthe causes of discontent ana curethem; otherwise the anguish and bit¬terness will grow greater and thedangers rise.We Professors did not close the iBanks of the United States or organ-1ize the Mid-West Utilities, or throw jmillions out upon the streets withouta job, but what we have to do is to Ideal with the aftermath of these Icalamities as best we can and try to 'build up sound American thinking for ^the future so these troubles may not Ireoccur so frequently. 1Free Education—Only madness moves those who inthe name of American liberty try tosuppress thought on how that libertymay be preserved, or in the name ofAmericanism try to break down thatsystem of free education upon which,as Jefferson pointed out. Democracymust rest. I raise my voice to say,looking back over 30 years of politi¬cal observation and experience, thatwhen free thought dies in our Uni¬versities we may be sure that Amer¬ican liberty and American democracyhave not long to live. And I sawit happen in Germany and the witchhunters can lead us only on a Devil’sdance that ends in the dismal swamp.Germany has closed its magnificentUniversities, which I myself was astudent of, and Italy has shut downon it and Russia has shut down onfull ana free discussion oi affairs,and if the Americsn Universitieschoose to follow that lot, that is ablind and black doom for democracy.This is the foot, as I understand it,upon which stands the opportunity ofAmerican institutions, and this is theKuS CWAYDRUG STORESVaecIse ^A^CAlptmnistsLUNCHES AT A DISCOUNTCome in and get acquainted with our store manager, Mr. Dreschler.
