APRIL 30. 1937 Price Three CenttDeans Discuss Outstanding Effects of New PlanBrumbaugh Considers UniversityPioneer^ Educational RevolutionMany Schools Adopt College Plan, Divisional Or¬ganization; Others Experiment with Four-YearCollege.With adoption of New Plan fea¬tures in approximately 160 institu¬tions throughout the country in thepast seven years, the University hasbecome a pioneer in modem educa¬tional revolution, Aaron J. Brum¬baugh, Dean of the Ck>llege, decidedthis week.Some of the other institutions, likethe University of Florida, have pat¬terned their systems directly afterthe University of Chicago Plan.Others, like Columbia, have beenpioneers in their own right. In be¬tween, there are large numbers ofschools which have been inspired incertain aspects by the New Plan ofthe Midway.While Brumbaugh finds it difficultto ascertain the extent of the Univer¬sity’s influence, he names many ex¬amples.The College Plan has gone direct¬ly to W’ayne University at Detroit,to Stephens College in Missouri, toWabash College in Indiana, AntiochCollege, Colorado College at ColoradoSprings, Pasadena Junior College,and St. Xavier’s College in Chicago.The three city junior colleges,Wright, Herzl, and W’ilson, have fol¬lowed the University closely.Former Dean Boucher has carriedhis ideas to West Virginia Univer¬sity, and has been able to make alittle progress there.The University of Kansas Cityfurnishes an example of the wideadoption of the divisional organiza¬tion used here.The most widely adopted aspect ofthe New Plan is the reorganization,integration of subject matter in theform of general introductory cour.ses,Brumbaugh stated. Another astound¬ing expansion in influence is the Purpose of the IssueConceived by a group of educa¬tors under the administration ofPresident Max Mason, the ChicagoPlan was announced in the fall of1930, a few months after the in¬stallation of Robert Maynard Hut¬chins as president of the Univer¬sity. The succeeding seven yearssaw many changes, refinements,and developments. Because twomajor steps, the changes in theLaw school curriculum and the in-.stitution of the four-year college,have taken place this year. TheDaily Maroon felt that now is thetime to stop and sum up just whathas taken place.spread in use of the motion picture,which Chicago and Minnesota havepioneered.Sale of New Plan textbooks indi¬cates further influence in major OldPlan universities which have adoptedonly certain survey or discussiongroup ideas. Brumbaugh named Col¬gate and New York University aspossible representatives of this class,with Swarthmore perhaps an addi¬tion.About eight experiments in theUnited States outside the Universitynow embody the consolidation of thelast two years of high school and thefirst two years of the university, andUniversity-inspired Pasadena JuniorCollege is the most notable of these.Brumbaugh named Columbia Uni¬versity and the University of Minne¬sota as two great pioneers stridingalong with Chicago in the advance¬ment of education of the New Plantype.Fortner Editor Finds Hutchins^ IdeasVariously Misunderstood by StudentsBy JOHNSubject of this piece is studentthought at the University, Grant¬ing the hypothetical nature of thesubject, the question is what is na¬ture and extent of the influence ofPresident Robert M. Hutchins’ideas on the student thought? Theidyllic naivete of the question andthe subject is characteristic of edi¬tors of The Daily Maroon. Joyously,a discussion of some of the intrica¬cies of the question is undertaken bythis correspondent who is only aboutthree degrees removed from an edi¬tor of the Maroon, who only knowswhat he does not read in the Ma¬roon, and who entertains an actualconviction that the subject is realand the question is important.All customary classifications ofstudent thought, such as “Aristotel¬ians,” “Thomists,” and “Empiri¬cists,” are discarded by your corre¬spondent as worse than useless. Theonly thing two “Aristotelians” willagree on is that a third “Aristot¬elian” is wrong. The classificationsare chiefly used as terms of abuse,and the object of this article is notabuse.Student ViewpointsIt should be mentioned at the out¬set that within this year, your cor¬respondent has taken a nastly littlerabbit punch from a student overin the Department of Genetics whostated without batting an eye thathe wanted to know more and moreabout less and less so he could be¬come a famous scientist. He didn’teven catch the irony of the phrase¬ology he used! Your correspondentalso caught this one on the chin froma City College (New York) student:“You fellows are worrying aboutphilosophical problems we all takefor granted in New York. We thinkabout more fundamental things likewar and the class struggle.”This leads nicely to the status ofradical thought at the University.Its status is very static. The radi¬cals are still talking about action.In six long years of observation ofradical activity, yAur correapondpnt P. BARDENhas rarely seen any action on thepart of any radical at any time thatwas not poorly conceived, poorly or¬ganized, sloppily administered, andstupidly over-estimated as to success.Occasional successes, given politicalweight by the radicals, rest exclu¬sively on the high humanitarianismwhich characterizes students at thisand other universities. On the oneoccasion when a fire-eater from theBible belt and his Nazi ideology be¬came a nuisance, the radicals werenot apparent for weeks. Before andsince, they blustered about the threatof fascism. But it took an R. O. T.C. man, a football player, a medicalstudent, a couple of conservativefraternity men, and your correspon¬dent to dispose of him at some costone evening in the Fieldhouse. Pub¬lic opinion, not the radicals, did therest.Communist ThoughtsThought in the radical sector dis¬plays almost superhuman unanimity.It betrays supervision. Heresies arequickly detected and denounced. Itis posible to predict with accuracywhat a radical will think about any¬thing. As for the heresies one mustbe cautious. To refer to the radicalunderground movement in the U. S.S. R. is an insult to self-proclaimedhumanitarian communists just as itis an insult to self-proclaimed hu¬manitarian Trotskyists to refer to thetj. S. S. R. as a socialist state. Ithas become difficult for a mere lib¬eral to distinguish between Stalin¬ists and Trotskyists in order to findwhich insult will work.Hutchins is regarded by the radi¬cals as a great liberal. Like all greatliberals the slightest misstep fromthe unflattering role which greatliberals play in the radical mindtransforms him into a menacing andpowerful fascist. The radicals havenever read any of Hutchins' booksany more than they have read anyof Karl Marx’s books. They leaveall that up to the professional radi¬cals who do it in New York on $16 a(C«»ti«w«4l «a rHT* il) Engineered Changes Works Enumerates InnovationsMade in Last Seven YearsChicago Plan HadLong DevelopmentPrior to HutchinsPresident Robert Maynard HutchinsCampus Polled for Student Reactionto University New Deal in LearningAlthough both tabloids and schol¬arly journals have gloried in the skir¬mishes between the nation’s educa¬tors over Chicago’s New Deal inLearning, they consistently ignorethe opinions of the guinea pigs whomust live, love and learn under itsprecepts.They leave to oblivion the studentwho dwells in the hallowed depths ofa graduate library, they avoid thetea-party halls of Cobb and neverquestion the followers of Social Sci¬ence who hold very Definite and De¬cided opinions on the system.And what do guinea pigs' think ofthe New Plan?With minor variations, the themeof their ans'wers ran—“We like it.We like it because it is adult, becauseit is not merely a glorified highschool. Though we may disagreewith the content of the system, themechanics of the plan are nearlyideal.”Freedom Wins ApprovalTheir particular joy seemed to beoptional class attendance. “It’s won¬derful!” breathed a freshman. Said asophomore, “Students cut classesmuch less under this plan since themajority of them are here for work.They can accept freedom withoutabusing it.”Although the majority of thosequestioned expressed seci-et desiresto become better acquainted withtheir professors, they agreed, w^thsx)me regret, that the chances werenil.

(Continued on page 5) Chauncey S. Boucher, formerDean of the College, dedicates hisbook on the Chicago Plan to “themembers of the college faculty whoseimagination, courage and labors havemade possible the design and admin¬istration of this educational adven¬ture.”This dedication is indicative ofsomething present day students areprone to forget: the Chicago planhad a long history before PresidentHutchins came to the University, anddid not spring full fledged from hishand and brain so soon after his ar¬rival at the University.The sense of the inadequacy of thecourse credit system was felt asearly as 1925, and various commit¬tees set to work analyzing weak¬nesses and remedies. By the springof 1927 the aims which cameto be associated with the Chicagoplan were formulated and submittedto the Senate for its information.Hud Long Development —Planks included in this platforminclude more freedom for the stu¬dents, wider fields of study, reduc¬tion of time required of more intel¬ligent students.The resignation of President Ma¬son delayed further action for a pe¬riod, but President Hutchins soonafter his election indicated that “hewas thoroughly in sympathy withthe objectives set forth in the re¬port,” to quote from Dean Boucher’sbook.The actual installation of the Newplan was a matter of some years, butthe major outlines of the reorgan¬ized educational system were an¬nounced in the fall of 1930, and firstwent into effect on the fres'hmanclass of 1931.A great burst of interest and pub¬licity followed in the wake of the an¬nouncement.Cartoons, radio speeches, newspa¬per articles spread the news of thereorganization, and President Hutch¬ins became nationally known. TheNation put him on their annual hon¬or roll for his “scheme of reorganiza¬tion of education.”Noted Scholars JoinNew Plan inIn the midst of the stock-marketcrash of 1929, which marked the endof the New Era and the start of de¬pression, 30-year-old Robert M. Hut¬chins arrived at the Midway to beginhis pres-idency. The crash was to af¬fect profoundy any plans the Uni¬versity and its new president mayhave had for expansion and improve¬ment of its staff.No Salary CutsAt the president’s insistence Chi¬cago became one of the few univer¬sities to resist cutting the salariesof regular faculty members. But the65-year retirement rule, which hadpreviously allowed for five furtheryears in some cases, was rigidly in¬voked. This ruling, together withthe fact that an unusual number ofoutstanding professors reached 65 inrecent years', resulted in the retire¬ment of a large and distinguishedgroup of faculty people. Some ofthese remained to do research andpart-time teaching.With the improvement of its in¬come the University during the lastyear has undertaken to replenish andrebuild its faculty ranks; and the ad¬ministration recognizes that the keyto the University’s future importance Considers College Curriculum, Loss of Distinction Be¬tween Graduates and Undergraduates Most Im¬portant Changes.Enumerating the nine most important New Plan renovationsin the University, George A. Works, Dean of Students and Univer¬sity Ejtaminer, names the College curriculum and the breaking downof distinction between graduate and undergraduate work as thetwo developments of greatest significance.The nine outstanding advances in¬clude:Adaptation of speed of educationto individual differences of stu¬dents.Broadening of educational influence.Closer coordination of Universityfunctions, services.Reduction of rules and regulations.Effect of comprehensive examina¬tions.Optional class attendance.Improvement in student body.College curriculum.Breaking down of distinction be¬tween graduate and undergraduatework.“A clearer definition of what wewant to do for the college studentin the first two years,” is what Worksdescribes as first in general resultsof the New Plan. He points to amuch more unified curriculum nowthan under the free elective systemof previous years.Different SpeedsAnother decisive trend is the adap¬tation of the educational system toindividual differences on the part ofstudents so far as their rate of prog¬ress is concerned. The broad limit¬ation on advancement is illustratedby the fact that students who comein from high school with a good back¬ground in, say, physical sciences mayprepare themselves for the compre¬hensive examinations without follow¬ing through the class work, or mayconcentrate only on the parts of thecourse in which they are weak. Fur¬thermore, students are allowed bythe New Plan to take as manycourses as they want.On the other hand, the students’individual differences are limited inchoice to some extent by the factthat they have to be prepared in cer¬tain courses, like physical science,whether they like it or not. This lim¬itation leads to a third major change,broadening of education. A studyrecently completed by Works showsthat the New Plan has created widerinterests among students, and has en¬couraged a greater breadth of pro¬gram.And an example of this is vhetrend toward the study of biologicalsciences here in spite of the fact thatthe students have taken fewercourses in biological sciences in highschool. The pronounced increase inthis field here is explainable to agreat extent by the required generalsurvey.Broadening InfluenceThis broadening influence hasvalue in educational guidance, famil¬iarizing the student with the possible(fields of study. But Works pointedout that the influence is not yet 100per cent because students schedulefor their second year the surveys inwhich they are least interested; andthis often s'eems too late to changeone’s vocational plans.Fourth comes the closer coordina¬tion and relationship of life in theresidence halls, student health, andadvisory service with the intellectuallife of the college student. PresidentHutchins placed into the central serv¬ice of the Dean of Students the aboveagencies and those of vocationalguidance and placement, athletics,extra-curricular activities, social ac¬tivities, and others.As a result, some progress, hasbeen made in adjusting students tothe life here, in spite of the size ofthe* institution.Reduction of rules and regulationswas’ fifth in Dean Work.s’ list.

Even morethan ever before, the administration(Continued on page 5)Faculty UnderSpite of Depression.1 lies in its discrimination in choosingmen of distinction or promise.During the last eight years, as inany similar period, there have beenliterally hundreds of changes in fac¬ulty personnel, and only a few canbe mentioned here.Biological Science AppointmentsNewcomers in the division of thebiological sciences* have includedmany in the South Side clinics, sincethat development was still in the for¬mative stage when Mr. Hutchins ar¬rived. The pediatrics department,and its hospital, Bobs Roberts, werebuilt up after Mr. Hutchins’ inaug¬uration, the principal new men be¬ing Drs.

FritzAssistants: William Grody — Lome CookFriday, April 30, 1937SUMMARIZING THE SURVEYWhen people speak of new plans in educa¬tion today, they generally think of this Uni¬versity. For almost six years the Universityof Chicago Plan has been operating success¬fully. TTiere have been slight retreats, butthere have been greater advances in that pe¬riod. There is much to observe in respect tothese epoch-making changes. There is muchto anticipate from the present trends. In thisspecial issue the changes and trends are sur¬veyed for the educational world. In this edi¬torial we shall summarize that information.Before doing so, it might be wise to statebriefly the paper’s simple policy in this re¬spect. The Maroon stands strongly in sup¬port of the beneficial progressive measuresanalyzed in this issue and planned for the fu¬ture. On the other hand, it has been and willcontinue to be the principal campus clearinghouse for the expression of helpful criticismsof all New Plan trends, so that weaknessesmay be pointed out and corrected. The Ma¬roon tries to stimulate such constructive opin¬ions for the good of the administration and forthe enlightenment of the student body.In surveying this New Plan issue we noticea stress upon progress and success. Sectionafter section of the University has gone overto the system, until now, after the recent LawSchool revisions, only one or two professionalschools remain un-revolutionized, and thoseschools have been affected to some extent.Furthermore, the survey shows that NewPlan features have been widely adoptedthroughout the nation.The outstanding features of what is calledthe New Plan appear to be the general curricu¬lum of the College and the organization ofhigher learning into major divisions, insteadof merely departments. These aspects remainabsolutely unchallenged today, having beensubject to only minor changes. However, de¬partmental revisions within the divisions showthat the system is alive, and that the curriculaare constantly being brought in line with NewPlan emphasis on broad self-education, andon acquisition of intellectual skills, not facts.A significant but seldom-recognized trendis that toward earning the master’s degreewithout having an A. B. degree. This illus¬trates the dissolving of the real distinction be¬tween graduate and undergraduate.Features which have faced some criticisminclude the comprehensive examination sys¬tem. optional class attendance and work andthe grading system. The firsKhas advanced steadily, in both acceptance and technique,proving advantageous in spite of sporadic un¬popularity. The second has retreated only inminor instances, as in the Business School thisfall. Tlie third has been forced to make acomplete but insignificant about-face, becauseof technical difficulties in granting transfercredits. The increasing use of the R grade issignificant in the trend toward disregardingcourse marks.Contrary to general opinion, the changes inathletic policy and success seem negligible, ex¬cept for the adoption of optional physical edu¬cation. Maroon teams in general have been ina slump since 1924, rather than just since1931.There has been a decided trend toward theintellectual in student thought. Aristotle,scholasticism, and educational questions haveoccupied campus minds more than ever be¬fore.In the College, the famous survey courseshave undergone rapid development. Thesyllabus has taken a prominent part in the or¬ganization of ideal general education.All in all the New Plan has succeeded solong and developed so far that now, as Chaun-cey S. Boucher has suggested, it may best becalled the Chicago Plan.- Its ideals have defi¬nitely assumed a permanent place in the Uni¬versity, and are likely to increase in accep¬tance, to strengthen in influence, and to ex¬pand in efforts toward solving educationalproblems.Such recent changes' as the formation ofThe Four-Year College and such future idealsas the university which is proposed inHutchins’ “Higher Learning in America” allindicate that the Chicago Plan is bound to gosteadily forward. It will strive towardbroader and greater goals until it may be¬come known as no fixed system, but as thespirit of progressive education.—E.C.F.The Travelling BazaarLATEST RETURNSon the senior mustache race indicate that Ed¬ward Sol Stern (“vs. Humanity”) is well in the lead.Hank Cutter is still well in the race, however, andBill Runyan looms as a potential dark horse.

W.Richardson, of the Board of Exami¬nations, pointed out in discussing thesystem.This unique examination methodis one of the most famous and mostobvious features of the Hutchins ad¬ministration, Its effects have beenwidespread, ranging from the de¬struction of apple-polishing to theimprovement of the curriculum.Liist year, the number of examsjriven was double the number in thefirst year. Comprehensives havebeen developed in some fields to thestate where they are held to be abetter measurement of subject-mas¬tery than composite papers, tests,and recitations.Most valuable contribution of thesystem is the emphasis placed uponmastery of the work, instead of uponcourse credit. This emphasis hasbeen increa.sed by a great variety oftechniques. The improvement of theessay-type question and the concen¬tration upon understanding of laws*nd principles are two such advace-ments in method of emphasizingsubject mastery.Anonymous MarkingThe removal of all identifyingmarks when the exams are gradedhas abolished any suggestion of fa¬voritism jn all the courses in whichthe new system is used, comprisingmost of the courses in the Univer¬sity. Interested professors do notlearn of their students’ success un¬til after the gp-ades have been sentto the Registrar.System LaudedIn a recent bulletin, the CarnegieFoundation for the Advancement ofTeachers stated that the disinctiveMidway examination system i n -creases the importance of exams andnecessary breadth and excellency.Initiative is presumably developedby the comprehensive system. Thestudent finds it w’ise to plan hisstudies nine months ahead. On theother hand, Richardson sees a possi¬bility that cramming may be encour¬aged by the long-term exams..An integral part of the exam sys¬tem is the syllabus used in each sur¬vey course. Such an outlining ofcoiiise content is neces.sary to forma definite basis for the examination,•so that the questions w’ill be perti¬nent and complete. A valuable re¬sult is the clarification of course program and content, hence the im¬provement of the course ns a whole..Speaking of the expansion of thesy.stem in the University, Richard¬son admitted that certain depart¬ments and schools may not have beeninfluenced by the new examinationtrend, but that almost universallythere have been some signs of prog¬ress.Speaks on SocialDemocratic PartiesUnder the sponsorship of the Uni¬versity Commonwealth Club, Nickr*esch, formerly of the Austrian So¬cial Democratic party and at pi'esentCook County secretary of the SocialDemocratic P'ederation, will speak on“The Social Democratic Parties ofGermany and Austria,” Tuesday inSocial Science 105 at 7:30.Pesch will discuss the rise, legisla¬tive success, organization, and sup¬pression by the Fascists of the So¬cial Democratic parties in each ofth(> two countries.May 11, Ira H.

The R is in¬creasing in pre.stige, but the S andthe U are now extinct, with the ex¬ception of rare specimens in a fewresearch courses. How these gradeshave come and gone was explainedby Ernest C. Miller, Registrar, in anaccount of the much changed grad¬ing system in the last six years.Until October, 1932, the gradeshere were like the grades elsewhereA, B, C, I), and F, with a point aver¬age awarded on the basis of six asperfect. In the graduate schools, II,P, and U were awarded meaning“passed with di.stinction,” “passed,”and “undergraduate credit only.”Then came the installation of theplan, and with it the satisfactory, un-s*atisfactory, and registered gradesfor quarterly courses. The A to Fsystem remained for comprehensiveexamination grades, so S, U, and Rhave never been universal as manypeople think.Quarterly Grades ReinstalledThe new system of quarterlygrades brewed trouble. Studentstransferring to other schools couldn’tsatisfy these schools with such anindefinite grade as the S. Besides,there was some discussion whetherthe S discouraged initiative for out-.standing work by including every¬thing from A to U.So, in 1934, the S and U wereabandoned in favor of A, B, C, D,and F, and things were back wherethey started except that the old pointaverage was lost for good, the newR grade was in for good, and the Sand U were retained in the BiologicalScience “400” course and a coupleothers.Miller Prefer* S and UMiller is* of the opinion that the Sand U grades w’ould be advantageousat the University were it not fortransfer and scholarship-award diffi¬culties, since they do away with em¬phasis on quarterly marks and withgiade-consciousne.ss in general.On the other hand, he realizes thatstudents may have been grade-con-svious for so long that they can’t getover it, and demand exact grades.Summarizing recent changes. Mil¬ler said that the increasing numberof students taking R grades’ is oneof the three grtuitest factors in thenew grading system. Other outstand¬ing differences since 1932 arc theabolition of the point system and thefact that course grades generally donot count toward graduation.

On the other hand,many of the professional schools didnot adopt the New Plan at once, andtheir history has been one of lung¬ing advances toward fulfillment ofthe Midway ideals.The University Law School, in aseries of changes beginning in 1933with the adoption of the pre-profes¬sional system which is now in itslast year of existence and culminat¬ing in the New Plan announced dur¬ing the Winter quarter, has com¬pletely re-desiged its curriculum andadapted its teaching methods to bet¬ter fulfill the growing functions ofthe ideal law school in modern so¬ciety.The new program is based upon abelief that the more important prob¬lems confronting lawyers, judges,and legislators are basically eco¬nomic and social, and that broadtraining is essential to equip law-school graduates to cope with them.Business School AdvancesSoon after the introduction of theNew Plan into the College of theUnivei’sity, the School of Businessbegan to adapt its program to NewPlan procedure and aims. The ad¬vancement and ranking of studentsis now determined by comprehensiveexaminations. To facilitate prepara¬tion for these examinations, syllabihave been developed for manycourses, and are being prepared forothers. With syllabi available, it be¬came possible to place courses forExamination A in the School on athree-hour basis.With increasing emphasis on pro¬fessional preparation for business,students have been urged to workfor the degree of master of businessadministration, being encouraged,whenever advisable, to work towardthis degree without taking a bache¬lor’s degree.Divinity School ConstantIn the Divinity School, which hasbeen operating on the New Plansince 1933, few changes have been instituted. Except insofar as theUniversity rules have been alteredin such matters as optional class at¬tendance, the School has remainedfundamentally the same;Because the Graduate LibrarySchool began only a few years be¬fore the New Plan was adopted, andbecause it is probably more segre¬gated from the University as a wholethan almost any other department,there Jiave been practically nochanges.SSA ImprovesThe general professional programof the School of.Social Service Ad¬ministration has remained on a grad¬uate basis, but the flexibility of theNew Plan has led to major improve¬ments, most notable of which hasbeen the substitution of a two yeargraduate program for the Master’sdegree with a minor piece of re¬search work required instead of aone year program with a more sub¬stantial piece of work in the form ofa thesis. This in turn has made pos¬sible an increased amount of fieldand lecture work. This year, 75 stu¬dents are receiving Master’s degreesas compared with 25 seven yearsago.Medical School UnifiedWhile expansion in hospitals andstaff has been remarkable, the mostimportant change in the School ofMedicine has come in the line of edu¬cation. The New Plan had as* its objec¬tive in biology the union of new andand strong departments, includingthe actual practice of medicine, witha much older group of departmentsof academic interests. The presenttrend is toward a breaking down ofthe nineteenth century barriers ofintense specialization. Thus interde¬pendence between departments is(Continued on page 4) The committee of judges for theFiske Poetry Prize contest has beenappointed by Professor Ronald S.Crane, chairman of the departmentof English.

The Univer¬sity School of Medicine is organizedin keeping with the present beliefthat applied biology as in the medi¬cal school should keep in close con¬tact with theoretical biological dis¬cipline for aid in solution of its prob¬lems.Social Science DivisionOne of the best organized depart¬ments before the Chicago plan wentinto effect, the division of the So¬cial Sciences has seen few changesin courses and the addition of onlyone new department in the last sevenyears. The department of Education,formerly a separate school, is now apart of the division.Students in the division show anincreasing tendency to skip the bach¬elor of arts degree and take work di¬rectly to the master of arts. The de¬partment of anthropology definitelyadvises against the bachelor’s degreeas being useless for any position inanthropologry.The trend toward a broader back¬ground before specialization is alsoseen in the divisional comprehensive.Preparation for this exam includestwo courses in the department ofspecialization, and two courses inthe division, while two more are leftoptional, to be taken in any divi¬sion.The Division of the Biological Sci¬ences came into existence with therest of the divisions in 1930 with thepurpose of combining academic bi¬ology with pre-clinical and medicalcourses. All Biological interestswere thus united in a single en¬deavor of education and research.The Clinics came into the division inNovember, 1931, and Rush, althoughit is still known as a separate medi¬cal school, came under the Univer¬sity administration in July, 1936.

This hasresulted in the turn-out of studentsthat have covered almost as muchground when they obtain their bach¬elor’s degree as the candidates forthe master’s degree did under theOld Plan,” in the opinion of HenryG. Gale, dean of the Physical Sci¬ence division and professor of Phys¬ics. “Thus many students need onlya short time to get the higher de¬gree.”In addition to this the PhysicalScience division has contributed,through its staff, to one of the mostinteresting of the Chicago plan ap¬proaches to the student, the u.se ofthe motion picture.Warner Bros.LEXINGTON THEATRE1162 E. 63rd St.Today and Tomorrow“YOU ONLY UVE ONCE”“MAN OF THE PEOPLE” YOU ARE ASSURED OFSUGH AN EVENING ATHANLErSOver forty years of congenialservice Paul OlsenComedy Dance SensationDELICIOUS $1.50 DINNERBLACKHAWKRandolph al WabashCaricature of the President by Maude Phelps Hutchins from“No Friendly Voice”PRESIDENT HUTCHINSwas one of the first to place his name on our subscriptionlist.

The profession is brilliant,bitter, with no tendency toward im¬partiality What the professionalssay about Hutchins or Marx or any¬body else goes and that is that. Yourcorrespondent is forced to concludethat Hutchins’ ideas have no effectat all upon the radicals and his actsoccassionally change the terminologyof their reference to him.A genuine effort has been made byyour correspondent to find some¬thing that could be called a trend ofthought among conservative elementson the campus. This effort has beenunsuccessful. If their thought hasresulted in more than a knowledge ofthe Greek Alphabet, the contents ofthe Travelling Bazaar, and the week¬end social schedule, these elementshave not been as successful in pub¬licising their notions as the otheregoes of the campus.Reactions VaryIn the scientific quadrangles thereactions to Hutchins’ ideas may becla.ssified as belligerent, indifferent,and sympathetic.Those who are belligerent havemisread and incorrectly associatedHutchins with the Catholic Churchand have incorrectly—as Philoso¬pher Morris Cohen pointed out in arecent lecture here—associated theCatholic Church with the persecutionof scientists. They believe the high¬est specialization produces the great¬est scientists. They have shapedtheir careers accordingly. Naturally,they do not like to be contradicted ordisappointed at having wasted time.So they have changed their first re¬action that “Hutchins must bewrong’’ to “Hutchins is persecutingus.’’ Next to love, man seems to likepersecution best. Your correspon¬dent, having about as much sym¬pathy with anti-Catholicism as withanti-Semitism, as much patience withdeliberate misreading as with falsi¬fying, and as great a conviction thatsynthesis is the tendency of the mod¬ern world as the conviction of thebelligerent junior scientists that spe¬cialization is that tendency, hasprobably been unfair to the belliger¬ent junior scientists.Those students of science who areindifferent to Hutchins ideas are in¬different because they have readhim and do not know what he istalking about or because they havenot read him. Engaged in conversa¬tion, however, these students are vis¬ibly and audibly affected by the no¬tion that is beginning to permeatethe campus—synthesis is important.The permeation is attributable toHutchins. They attempt to relatewhat they are doing in the labora¬tory to what they have done there inthe past, to what they will do next,to the field in which they are work¬ing, to the general field, to humanhealth, welfare, happiness. There isconfusion, but it is the right kind.Faith in ScienceSympathetic are those students ofscience who have noted Hutchins’ af¬firmation of faith in science and hisregard in writing and in practice forthe stubborn facts which are analyti¬cally or practically important. Theyconcede that a non-scientific, articu¬late mind has expressed their aimsin a way that has given them a use¬ful insight, at least on the plane ofgeneralities. They are setting aboutin a modest way (but not that pain-fuj, hypocritical modesty whichcloaks the ego of some scientists) toshow wherein Hutchins’ generalitiesare right and wherein they arewrong. Like most general proposi¬tions in science or about science, theywill turn out to be both right andwrong. That is, correctly understood,they will be right and incorrectlyunderstood, they will be wrong. The ]understanding will consist in the jqualifications which must be placed Iunder the general propositions be- jfore they mean very much to themen in file field. !On Hutchins’ own plane of gener- jality, such qualification is now be- jing carried on by students in phUoso- Iphy. Led by the faculties here and jelsewhere (see the last Journal of IEthics), students of philosophy are inow subjecting “The Higher Learn- jing’’ to' textual interpretation and jcriticism. His failure to use accept- i*d philosophical terminology bids jfair to make Hutchins a point of I Administers PlanGeorge A. Works, Dean of Stu¬dents and University Examiner, dis¬cusses nine main changes which NewPlan has made in the University inthe last seven years.Works(Continued from page 1)has adopted the attitude that collegepeople are old enough to take careof themselves.And then Works came to what heterms one of the most import¬ant changes taking place—the break-j ing down of the distinction betweenI graduate and undergraduate work.This distinction is now less sharpthan the distinction between the Col¬lege and the junior-senior years. In¬creasingly prevalent, especiallyamong prospective teachers, is theidea of students’ spending three yearsin a division before finishing theireducation. One result has been thatstudents are coming up to divisionalstatus with a far better background.The influx of comprehensive ex¬aminations has, seventhly, placed lessemphasis on cours'e credit than onmastery of the work. There has beenan appreciable trend toward disre¬garding course credit by taking R’s.Along with this trend has come adefinite stimulus to divisional stu¬dents to depend upon their own in¬itiative in mastering their subjects.The plan enables students to go outon their own.Dean Works relegated optionalclass attendance as a relatively un¬important development, but praisedits succe.ss and popularity. He hasfound students to be very conscien-! tious in attending classes, except forrare individualists. “It is amazing,’’he chuckled, “How many students goto certain survey lectures twice inthe same day.’’Referring to change in the studentbody as a ninth important develop¬ment, Dean Works noted improve¬ment in quality. For this, he has ob¬jective evidence. Chairmen of College Survey CoursesDescribe Recent Shifts in Emphasiscontroversy for years, even thoughhe never wrote another word. Evenin this day, what philosophers thinkabout is fcwund to have influence fi¬nally to the very lowest reaches ofthe academic world, even, perhaps,to sociology itself.Your correspondent, then, con¬cludes that Hutchins’ ideas are al¬ready beginning to have a strong in¬fluence on that lowest of its objects,student thought. This influencecould hardly have begun had it notalready begun on the faculty, al¬though the descent to the students isdevious. In the social science divi¬sion, for example, attacks by thefaculty within and without class up¬on Hutchins have served to informmany students of the issues, andthe opinions they have formed havebeen in many cases adverse to theprobable intention of the propa¬ganda. In the law and medicalschools where students work so hardthey have no time to think, Hutch¬ins and his works are known onlyby rumor. The amalgamation ofRush Medical College with the Uni¬versity and the reform of the lawschool curriculum are considered rev¬olutionary and attributed entirely toHutchins. Neither is revolutionaryand Hutchins’ influence as a writer,not as an administrator, is probablyhighly exaggerated as to bothchanges.The moral which your correspon¬dent has finally succumbed to utter¬ing is that before you talk Hutchins,read him. This goes in particularfor writers in student publicationswho shed uncomprehending criticismwhich stumbles on its own ignoranceor uncomprehending praise whichglitters for an instant then dies ofinsipidity. - By REXAs the seventh year of operationof the New Plan in the College drawsto its close, some fairly definitetrends in emphasis and organizationof the College survey courses maybe noted.A definite trend towards a greaterintegration of the materials of thesocial sciences may be observed inthe first and second year Social Sci¬ence surveys, according to Harry D.Gideonse, associate professor of eco¬nomics and chairman of the course.“This body of generalizations—which is well represented in ourwork,’’ he points out, “is not, how¬ever, systematic social science, whichdoes not exist, but rather systematiceconomics, sociology, etc. As itstands, ‘systematic social science’ isa figment of the uninformed—ormetaphysical?—imagination is so faras it extends beyond the boundariesof what is not taught in the intro¬ductory courses.’’Such integration, he points out,has been achieved by breaking downdepartmental barriers in the studyof problems as such, as contrastedwith the concentration of attentionon the economics, political, social,and other aspects of such problems,and with the stressing of the “alto-getherness of things.’’Social Science IIAn example of this trend is seenin the Social Science II coursewhich was completely reorganizedthis year. In the first year of its ex¬istence, the staff was forced by theadministration to present the courseas a sequence of one quarter each inj economic sociology, and politicalscience. Now, the material has beenI more or less thoroughly organizedso that today it is the only integ-! rated second-year course in any di¬vision, as distinguished from strictlydepartmental courses.Similar emphasis is to be found inthe first year introductory course,which however, was more integratedfrom the start. Throughout theyears, continuous changes have beenmade in this direction, the changingof the section on international tradefrom the economic theory to ^ the in¬ternational relations part of thecourse this year being one example.“The innovation of the present or¬ganization lies in the effort to lookat the problems as ‘wholes’ and to#avoid the usual analytical separationi nwhich the economicists can com¬fortably theorize about ‘good (orsound)’ economics without givingthought to social or political imple¬mentation, while the political scien¬tists or sociologists discuss structurewithout benefit of the cathartic qual¬ities of economic theory,’’ ProfessorGideon.se claims. Such integrationis still hampered, however, by budg¬etary necessities, which make certainlecturers available only at certaintimes, necessitating organization ofthe courses to fit other schedules.Decrease ReadingsChanges have also been made indecreasing to some extent the num¬ber of indespensable readings. Theactual selection of readings is con¬stantly changing with the publica¬tion of new books and pamphlets.More quizzes are now given at therequest of the students.Professor Gideonse believes that asystem of conclusive reliance on thefinal examination is increasinglyopen to question, that there is toomuch “book learning,” and notenough personal work by the stu¬dents. He points out, however, “Allin all, I like what we have more thanwhat we had—or than any othersystem I have worked with. Butthere are obvious weaknesses thatrequire tjiought.”In the Humanities course the chiefshift in emphasis has been in the di¬rection of concentrating the discus- HORTONsion groups on specific books or alimited number of works of art, ac¬cording to Arthur P. Scott, profes¬sor of History and head of the Hu¬manities staff. The lectures havebeen reorganized according to eachmain period of chronology. Withinthe pattern, minor changes in detailare constantly being made. In thematter of testing technique, the staffhas given much attention to makingthe comprehensive test for otherthings than detached factual infor¬mation.In looking to the future. Profes¬sor Scott states, “We should likesometime to experiment with increas¬ing the number of discussion groupsa week and decreasing the numberof lectures. We are considering theadvisability of holding the studentsresponsible for a number of specificworks of art to somewhat the extentwe now hold them responsible forspecific books.”Bi Set StableIn the first year survey in the Bi¬ological Sciences, Merle C. Coulter,professor of Botany and chairman ofthe course, states, “The main organ¬ization has remained unchangedfrom the beginning, though therehave been slight shifts in emphasis.Having in mind mainly the interestsof those students of the majoritygroup who are not to continue withbiology, we have tried, and will con¬tinue to try, to evolve in the direc¬tion of ‘detechnicalization’—in thedirection of minimizing technicalterminology and detail and of em¬phasizing broad principles. Grad¬ually—we hope—we are making oursyllabus a little more comprehensi¬ble. Gradually we are replacing theolder and more technical books inour ‘indespensable readings’ by newbooks that are better adjusted to thelevel of our course. Gradually weare persuading our lecturers tosimplify their lectures. Gradually weare making our laboratory exhibitsa little more impressive and instruc¬tive. And at last we have commencedthe production of biological movies,which should prove particularly use¬ful >n capturing student interest andin clarifying certain points thathave always been difficult to pre¬sent.”In the Physicial Science survey,the trend has also been toward in-tegfration, according to Herman I.Schlesinger, executive chairman ofthe department of Chemistry and co-chairman of the course. The originalemphasis and principles continue,but the staff is attempting more andmore to organize the course so thatevery independent topic is somewhatrelated to every other topic. Isolatedtopics have been eliminated. Greateropportunities are now being offeredfor class participation in voluntarylaboratory work in connection withthe chemistry section of the course.TheHITCHINGPOST' Open 2‘4 Hours a DayWAFFLECHEESEBURGERCREAM OMELETSTEAK1552 E. 57th StreetN.

As I havebeen here ever since, and as onlyfour or five others (Bliss, Flint,Gale, Lovett; any more?) have beenhere as long, I suppose I am justi¬fied in offering a brief comparisonof old plans with new.To graduate, in my day, youneeded 36 “majors,” at least ninein one group and six in anothergroup. Coming here as a sophomore,I was given credit for seven coursesin Greek and Latin, so all I neededwas two more courses in classics and i25 electives. I elected Angell, Her¬rick, Lovett, Adolf Miller, Moody,Salisbury, Shepardson, Small, Starr,Vincent and a few others includingStagg (physical culture was requir¬ed, and I studied only baseball, hand¬ball, football, tennis and track, sincebasketball and golf were not on thelist then). I think no curriculumsince has offered undergraduatessuch an opportunity for an educationfor life. Had I not attended classeswith regularity I would have beenfined so many credits. Such fines Icouldn’t afford, with tuition fortydollars a quarter for three courses;but furthermore, with such instruc¬tors, I probably would have attendedregularly anyway.Unaffected By ChangesLater, every new administration asa matter of course made changes ofa sort in the curriculum, but themore changes the more curriculumremained the same, until s’even yearsago came first Hutchins and then theNew Plan.To some of the features of theNew Plan I objected, and still ob¬ject. It throws too much responsi¬bility on freshmen, who have all theintelligence they will ever have, butin many cases little judgment. Itstresses science in the first two yearsat the expense of the Humanities. Itabsurdly encourages young people toregister for five or even six coursesat one time—four was the limit inmy day, and few took more thanthree. (I have other objections, butmy space is limited.) It seems to me,in short, too little of an education forlife (we all have to live) and toomuch of a preparation for a train¬ing in intensive thinking which mostundergraduates can’t use, and in theend don’t get anyway (except pre¬sumably from Prof. Adler).A Great IdeaNevertheless Hutchins’ idea , un¬derlying the New Plan he dreamed of(not exactly the New Plan he got)was a Great Idea. It Avas the ideathat the most intelligent of ourAmerican young people would, ifthey were stimulated into thinkingfor themselves, and then first cultur¬ed and then trained into thinkingclearly, flock anywhere they perceiv¬ed the opportunity for such stimula¬tion and training. In a way that ideahas worked out. The undergi-aduateswe get, though few of them are po¬tential Hutchinses, are in the main opening of the nursing education de-1partment, under Nellie Hawkinson;{the psychiatry development, first un¬der Dr. Roy Grinker, now under Dr.David Slight, lately of McGill Uni¬versity; and the Zoller Dental Clinic,a $3,000,000 enterprise which open¬ed last autumn under the directionof Dr. James Blayney, formerly ofthe University of Illinois.Notable additions in the basic bio¬logical departments included Dr. E.M. K. Gelling, formerly of JohnHopkins, University, who is regardedas one of the most brilliant researchpharmacologists in the nation; AlfredEmerson and Paul Weiss, the lattera German who has developed a strik¬ing new theory of nervous transmis¬sion, both in zoology; and Dr. Nich¬olas Rashevsky, pioneer in a newfield — mathematical biophysics—inpsychology.Jaeger in ClassicsThe most luminous recruit to theDivision of the Humanities has beenProfessor Werner Jaeger of the Uni¬versity of Berlin, acknowledged tobe the outs’tanding classical scholarin the world, who came to join theGreek department last autumn. An¬other newcomer in the classics is Dr.Kurt Latte, of Gottingen, in the Lat¬in department.Richard McKeon, the present deanof the humanities division, camefrom Columbia University as a visit¬ing professor, and remained, withmembership in the Greek depart¬ment.Philosophy, weakened by the resig¬nation of three men in 1931, has beenrebuilt. Principal newcomer has beenProfessor Rudolf Carnap of Prague,leader of the logical-positivist move¬ment. Dr. Carnap, like Dr. Jaeger,was one of the 62 scholars of worldfame upon whom Harvard conferredhonorary degrees last fall. Othermembers of the philosophy depart¬ment new since Mr. Hutchins’ arrivalI think more intelligent than are tobe found anywhere else. They arecertainly more amusing to talk withthan the average of their predeces¬sors were in my time, and before theWar, and in the era of “flamingyouth.” They are more interested ingetting an education than in accept¬ing one, more aware that in collegeit is more blessed to get than to re¬ceive. They come here too young,of course; perhaps Mr. Hutchins’came here too young. But youth isthe only fault I can impute to them.And what brings these intelligent 1young people here? The New Planand Hutchins. Hutchins has dra¬matized university education. Morewidely than anybody else he hasspread among American youth theconception that thinking is interest¬ing, and information is a soil to growrich crops in, not a club to beat yourway forward with. If he could onlyconvince American parents as’ he hasconvinced American children, whata waiting-list of potential freshmenthe University of Chicago wouldhave! Perry, A. C. Benjamin and Clifford IOsborne. INewcomers in Physical Sciences jIn the Division of the Physical Sci¬ences the most spectacular newstrength came in the astronomy de¬partment; Sir Arthur Eddington ofEngland recently remarked that “thecenter of astronomy has shifted toChicago.” Additions were made part¬ly in view of the imminent openingof the McDonald Observatory in Tex¬as, which the University of Chicagowill staff. The new group of astron¬omers are cosmopolitan includingHans Rosenberg of Germany, GeraldKuiper of Holland, Bengt Stromgrenof Denmark, S. Chandrasekhar ofIndia, and Philip Keenan and PaulSeyfert of the United States.In chemistry, two new appoint¬ments, were announced early thismonth. Professor John Kirkwood ofCornell University and George W.Wheland, now in England, both spe¬cialists in theory who are expectedgreatly to strengthen the depart¬ment.Appointments in the Division ofthe Social Sciences have included J.Fred Rippy, the ablest younger schol¬ar of Hispanic-American history,who came last year from Duke Uni-vers’ity to join the history depart¬ment, and recruits for the anthropol¬ogy and economics depai'tments. Theanthropology department has en¬joyed for six years the services ofAlfred Radcliffe-Brown, brilliantethnologist who now’ leaves to becomehead professor of anthropology atOxford; Manual Andrade, linguistand Mayan expert, Harry Hoijer,Frederick Eggan, and most recently,Lloyd Warner, have been added tothe department.Changes in Professional Schools IMarshall Dimock in public admin¬istration, and Samuel Stouffer in so¬ciology have been other notable ap¬pointments. The clustering near thecampus of eighteen organizations ofpublic officials, centering around thePublic Administration ClearingHouse, have brought several new¬comers with faculty status and alarge number of Quadrangle Clubmembers.Among the professional schools,the Law School has had the greatestnumber of newcomers. Weakenedby the deaths of a number of themen who built its reputation, the LawSchool was revivified with the ap¬pointment of Wilber Katz, CharlesGregory, Mortimer Adler, MalcolmSharp, Max Rheinstein, WilliamCrosskey, Paul Cleveland, JamesMoore and Edward Levi.HOE SAI GAIChicago's finest ChineseAmerican Restaurant•The University of Chi¬cago students have by pop¬ular acclaim chosen HOESAI GAI to be the officialChinese-American restaur¬ant.If you desire the finestAmerican dishes or quaintChinese delicasies, you willbe more than satisfied withour service.Come in and enjoy thecongenial modernistic atmo¬sphere.85 W.

MADISON ST,. .ANp^TAOIUM CRILL Policies Remain Unaltered DespiteChanges inPhysicalEducation Curriculum“Although there have been a fewchanges in the physical educationprogram at the University since thearrival of President Hutchins, noradical alterations have been madein the athletic policy.” So spoke T.Nelson Metcalf, director of athletics,when questioned concerning revisionsmade in the school program duringthe past eight years.There has, of course, been onevery noticeable change in the phy¬sical education curriculum. Underthe old system when class attendancewas required, it was necessary fors’tudents to participate in someamount of exercise each week. Nowthat attendance is optional, an athlet¬ic prog;ram is offered to all but doesnot constitute a required subject.Voluntary Participation“My observations have been,” con¬tinued Mr. Metcalf, “there there hasbeen more voluntary participation insports under the present arrange¬ment. Freshman and sophomore in¬terest has lessened but the increasein the upper class and graduate us¬age of the athletic facilities havemore than made up for it.”Many may raise the question whether President Hutchins’ programhas affected the caliber or success ofthe Maroon’s teams but a look at therecords’ proves the answer to be inthe negative. Its poor standing incertain sports dates back severalyears, for Chicago has not been theleader in football since 1924, in base¬ball since 1913, in basketball since1924, and in swimming since 1921.The same holds true for track andgolf but a contrast is noted in re¬gard to other sports. The Univer¬sity has claimed a strong tennis teamsince 1929, the year of PresidentHutchins’ arrival. In addition, thewater polo, gymnastics and fencingteams have all been at the top dur¬ing the past several years.When asked whether the presentplan had tended to attract studentsof greater intellect than formerly,Mr. Metcalf stated that the Univer¬sity had for a long time attractedstudents of high intellectual stand¬ing. “With the type of student re¬maining the same, the success andcaliber of Chicago’s athletic teamshave not been affected by the pro¬gram in effect during the presidencyof Robert Hutchins.”Pattern Gives Way to Color, AttaehingStyle Importanee to GabardineOne of the basic ingredients in themixed soil turnont, you’ll be givingsome thought to before long, is aplain color.
