UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO, FRIDAY, MAY 14, 1937 Price Three Cent#The Fire==Buming^{This is the second of a series offaculty and student opinions concern¬ing the educational controversy in¬cited by President Hutchins' latestbook, “The Higher Learning inAmerica.” It is written by MalcolmP. Sharp, associate professor ofLow, who devotes considerable timeto the study of Plato and other class¬ical thinkers, as well as to the studyof current problems.) Urge Groups toMake Reservationsfor Maroon Dinner Hutching Addresses AnnualMeeting of Business OfficersFraternity, club or other groups FutUre Universitymay reserve tables of from ten to fif¬teen persons for the Daily Maroonbanquet by application at the Maroonoffice.

Presi¬dent Robert Maynard Hutchins willbe the sole speaker of the evening.He has chosen as the subject of his to make money or to acquire currentinformation, President Robert M.Hutchins of the University of Chicagosaid yesterday morning in a speechbefore the 27th annual meeting of•‘He knew better than though hewere a profe-ssional historian that theman who should solve the riddle ofthe .Middle Ages and bring them into speech “The University,” and is ex- < Association of University and‘ College Business Officers, in Judsonpected to discuss his hopes and plansfor the future of the University.The banquet will be the only oc¬casion of the current school yearthe line of evolution from past to | w’hen the President will speak beforepresent, would be a greater man thanI.<iniarck or Linnaeus....” HenryAdams made this comment in a chap¬ter called Failure, in his “Educa¬tion.”.Mr. Hutchins’ most interesting isuggestion is that the thought of the ■.Middle Ages is a useful point of de-1parture for persons seeking to un-1derstand the world in which we now! a representative undergraduate audi¬ence. Coming after the senior exam¬inations are finished, it is expectedthat a large delegation of graduat¬ing students will be present.Invitations were issued to a groupof prominent undergraduates, but alimited number of tickets is availablebeyond the number of those invited.These are available to those who wishparticularly to hear the President.Tickets are priced at $1, and arelive. What are the merits of this sug- at the Information deskand the Maroon office. Tickets mustbe bought before Tuesday noon.gestion?Prophecy and philosophy united toform the spiritual and intellectualsystem of the medieval mind. Thesystem was. of course, doubtless in¬fluenced by the disorderly forces ofeconomic interest and political con¬troversy. However formed, it has in¬fluenced in turn the world view ofmany of our people, and our common.stock of social ideas and purposes.The medieval world has not onlymade affirmative contributions tomodern life. It affords contrastswhich are instructive to persons con¬cerned with our own times. Thesecontrasts bring out sharply, for ex- jample, the significance of modernscience and democracy. DA OfficersAdd to BoardChoose Harlan, Springer,Miller, to SupplementStaff.The exaggeration or even fanatic-i.sm of those particularly concernedwith medieval studies should not hin¬der an appraisal of their value. Theefforts now being spent here to givethese studies educational significanceseem worth their cost. Whetherthey will lead to even a working solu¬tion of the problem which Henry.Adams raised, remains to be seen.Mr. Hutchins’ discussions raise asecond question, about teachingmethods. I do not find that Mr. Hut¬chins anywhere attempts the unthink¬able division between “subject mat¬ter” and “intellectual virtues” withwhich he has been charged. As Iread his book, he seems to me onlyto urge that subject matter shall beso chosen and so dealt with as to en¬courage the students’ developmentof their own powers.The troublesome question is howsuch choice and treatment are to beachieved. It would be interesting tohave both Mr. Hutchins and hiscritics deal more fully with this ques¬tion. A few pages on, HenryAdams observed further: “He wouldhave seated a rival assistant profes¬sor opposite him, whose businessshould be strictly limited to express-ing opposite views.” This is doubt¬less not the complete solution; but ifthe implications of the suggestionare carried out, it may furnish aclue to a working solution.Efforts at a working solution must,of course, be carried on not only inclassrooms but in laboratories. Theattempt to pack minds with adequateinformation or sound doctrines seemsdoomed to failure. However littlethey may like it, it seems probablethat only by self-direction in collegesand universities can this generationof students prepare themselves forthe period of intellectual and socialchange which seems to lie ahead.A careful selection of the ma¬terials of education seems consistentwith the encouragement of self-di¬rection. The central problems forwhich students and faculty havetime, are and must be limited andchosen. On the other hand, the chancethat answers too will be chosen forstudents seems the great danger in- At their first meeting since theelection last Tuesday, the newBoard of the Dramatic Associationappointed Robert Harlan, treasurer,Ralph Springer, busine.ss manager,and Lewis Miller, chairman of promo¬tion. These three men will supple¬ment the four officers to form theBoard for next year.All three of the newly appointedmen have been active in past produc¬tions of the Dramatic Association.Harlan, a member of Alpha Delta Phihas worked on the production staffof every presentation of the Dramat¬ic Association for the past two yearsand has had minor roles in Mirrorand “Green Grow the Lilacs.” Spring¬er, also a member of Alpha Delta Phi,has worked in the Association forthe past three years. He has work¬ed on the stage crew, danced in thisyear’s Mirror show, and was assistantbusiness manager this year. Miller,member of Delta Kappa Epsilon, hasbeen active in all phases of the As¬sociation. He was a member of thestag^ crew, the publicity staff, andacted in “The Lower Depths,” Mir¬ror, and “Androcles and the Lion.”His best known role was as the lionin the latter play.The new officers of the Board willbe installed, and new members in¬itiated at the Dramatic Association’sbanquet at the Phi Kappa Psi houseon May 26. Those members of thenew board, besides the three newlyappointed men, are Robert Wag¬oner, president, Mary Paul Rix,chairman of acting; Hugh Campbell,chairman of production; and AileenWilson, president of Mirror. CourtWhether this concern with firstprinciples be called philosophy ormetaphysics. President Hutchins said,was not important. “The knowledgewe are attempting to name is con¬cerned with principles relevant to thetheoretical interpretation and practi¬cal use of the facts and laws of thenatural and social sciences,” he said.Discusses Natural Science“The fields of human learning arethus not only comprehended but alsoordered to one another in the orgfan-ization of the university into thethree faculties of natural science, so¬cial science, and metaphysics or phil¬osophy.“Everybody has a metaphysics orphilosophy. In most of us it is an at¬titude, emotional and unreasoned,about important questions. It is im¬possible to live without a metaphys¬ics. The fact that we do not knowthat we have one or do not like tobe told we have one is immaterial.We have one.“I suggest that it is a most import¬ant function of a university in acountry that is to be devoted to thecommon good as determined by rea¬son to make the metaphysics of thecitizens as rational and intelligent aspossible.”What is honored in a country willbe cultivated there, the Universityof Chicago president said, and the ed¬ucational system that any countryhas will be the system that country(Continued on page 4) Wheeler Speaks atAnnual School ofBusiness BanquetOn June 10, the 23rd annualSchool of Business banquet will beheld in Hutchinson Commons.

Gideonse, asso¬ciate professor of Economics, in com¬menting on the letter by William E.Dodd, ambassador to Germany, andprofessor of History at the Univer¬sity, which was recently publicizedby Chicago papers. In the letter hestated that he had heard of a bil¬lionaire who was ready to support anAmerican dictatorship.Various senators have demandedthe recall of Ambassador Dodd toexplain his statement and charge himwith attempting to whip up sentimentfor President Roosevelt’s court planby creating fear of a fascist dicta¬torship.Professor Gideonse pointed outthat the complete letter, which ap¬peared in Wednesday’s New YorkTimes, was in the nature of a his¬torical essay, with the dictatorshipstatement as in insignificant sentencenear the end. Furthermore, he ex¬plained that the letter did not leakout as a result of an indiscretion, asone might infer from the accounts. but was sent by Dodd for publica¬tion as a letter to the editor of theRichmond (Va.) Dispatch.While Gideonse admitted that thecharge sounded rather surprising, heclaimed that it was not an essentialpart of the rather lengthy document.Dodd, as a historian and a Jeffer¬sonian democrat, was primarily en¬gaged in proving that the Hamilton¬ians always had been wrong in thepast, and will probably continue tobe in the present, and in showing thehistorical conflict between the prop¬ertied classes and the masses of the(Continued on page 4) Carry on Light of Under¬standing in ImpressiveCeremony.The annual Candle Ceremony,probably the most impressive tradi¬tion of International House, will beheld Sunday evening, immediatelyafter the final Sunday Supper of theacademic year.

Band Plays Firstof Concert SeriesWednesday NightThe first of a series of three bandconcerts will be played by the Univer¬sity band in Hutchinson Court nextWednesday at 7. At a party in theCoffee Shop immediately after theconcert, sweaters and medals will beawarded to band members in recog¬nition of their service.The main feature of the hour pro¬gram will be the “Coronation Scene”from Moussorgsky’s opera “BorisGodounow.” Some of the other num¬bers on the program will be “JesusJoy of Man’s Desiring” by Bach,Sousa’s march “Fairest of the Fair,”and a trombone solo entitled “TheGondoliers” played by Paul Lyness.A total of 19 sweaters and fourmedals are to be given out. Thesemedals are a special distinctionawarded students for three consecu¬tive y'ears of band service, which re¬quires being out for practice threeor four days a week throughout theschool year. Those receiving this dis¬tinction are Arthur Rabe, WilliamRubach, Seymour Burrows and AlvinBraun.The sweater awards will be givento George Sharpe, Robert Minor,Harold Albert, William Remington,David E.

More rareare the double flowering almonds lo¬cated by the west wall of Breastedhall. These globe-shaped bushes arealmost covered with pink bloom. Thebush is a native of China, and in spiteof its name is a species of cherry.The hawthorns are yet to come out,but Mr. Laverty, in charge of the Uni¬versity’s landscape gardening pro-gram, expects them to blossom heav¬ily during the next few days. A mildwinter and an unusually moist springhave favored the University’s plant¬ings, and blossoms are heavier thanthey have been since the presentlandscaping program was begun.Difficulties of a smoking atmo¬sphere and poor soil have beencounteracted by copious fertilizationof a special mixture rich in nitrogen. Mr. Laverty points proudly to therapid growth of the trees of the cam¬pus which this treatment has in¬duced.Most extensive planting of this sea¬son is the new hawthorn hedgearound Dudley field.University Men AidSpanish DemocracyA group of Chicago psychologistsfrom the universities of the city haveorganized themselves as a ChicagoPsychologists Committed to AidSpanish Democracy.University professors who have af¬filiated themselves with the commit¬tee are Ward C.

Present Paper onYilamin B Intakeat Memphis MeetingExperiments determining the op¬timum vitamin B intake for childrenwere reported by Frederic W.Schultz, professor of Pediatrics, andElizabeth M. Knott at the recentmeeting of the American Instituteof Nutrition at Memphis, Tennessee.The ideal requirement of vitamin Bwas given as 20 International Stand¬ard units per kilogram of bodyweight.In the experiments two groups ofyoung children were used: the young¬est group from five to ten years oldliving at the Country Home for Con¬valescent Crippled (Children, and theolder group, ranging in age fromnine to eleven, normal children liv¬ing under ideal conditions at theMooseheart Home for Child Training.Is Appetite VitaminVitamin B is the appetite vitamin;an insufficient amount in the dietresults in beri-beri, retarded growth,and loss of appetite. The vitamin Blevel in the diets of the children wasraised, first by use of a stabilizedwheat germ product, and second byuse- of crystalline vitamin B. Theheightened level in the diet resultedin an increase in appetite as mani¬fested in the 12.5% to 28.6% in¬crease in food intake. It w’as foundthat 22 International Standard unitsof the vitamin per kilogram of bodyweight was ideal for the youngerchildren and 18 units was best for theolder.Page Two THE DAILY MAROON, FRIDAY, MAY 14, 1937iatly iBaraanFOUNDED IN IKIMember A,^«ociate<l CoUefiate Pres*Th« Dsily Maroon ia the official student newspaper of theUnlTersity of Chkago, published mornings except Saturday, Sun¬day, and Monday during the Autumn, Winhv, and Spring quartersby The Daily Maroon Company, b831 University avenue.

LeviFriday, May 14, 1937Why Did They Do It?Spring on the campus, the last week ofBlackfriars, cramming for comprehensives, jobhunting by seniors—all are signs that the acad¬emic year is again drawing to a close. To sen¬iors it means the approach of graduation, togood students the attainment of scholastic hon¬ors, to a few BMOChood. But to more itmeans bitter disappointment—the reward ofoblivion for three hard years of work on acampus activity. Why did they do it?The apologist for campus activities hasmany answers to this question: He says thatthe student who goes out for activities acquirescontacts with other students that he wouldnot otherwise obtain, that he acquires specialskills to which a University education wouldnot otherwise expose him, that he obtains ex¬perience in handling people which will be in¬valuable in later life, that he has done his bitfor his fraternity and for his own self-respect,or that he has helped to finance his waythrough college by going out for an activity.Let us examine these positions a little moreclosely in the light of the actual experience ofthe student who goes out for activities. Hiereis no doubt that the activities man meets morepeople than the student to whom the Univer¬sity is a half way stop for three or four classesa day between sleep and home or work. Whilethe grind is poring over a book in a Universitylibrary, the activities man comes into contactwith a great variety of students and other peo¬ple that the grind does not know exist. Thequestion is whether such activity will be ofbenefit to the student after he has left thesecloistered walls. As members of The Maroonstaff we do not expect to derive any lastingsatisfaction from our contacts — it was funwhile we were here.Howard Vincent O Brien has put a lastingquietus to the notion that newspaper workafter college will be benefited by participationin the operation of a college paper. Except forthe few who may be comterhplating careers asprofessional athletes, athletics offers no per¬manent incentive. In any case later many arecalled ajid__^few are chosen—and many whoare chosen never saw the insides of a Univer¬sity building. The correlation between train¬ing in amateur theatrical groups and success insimilar professional organizations is similarlylow—but the amateurs get fun out of it.Activities are notoriously bad ways of ac¬quiring money and skill in handling people.For the amount of w.ntk thiRy do students in activities are underpaid—their material successwould be much greater if they remained outof school a year to take jobs which offer sub¬stantial remuneration as well as practical train¬ing. As far as “handling people” is concern¬ed, the lack of discipline which is a necessaryconcomitant of unprofitable association pre¬vents activities from being scientifically man¬aged. But “they still like it.”Doing your bit for the fraternity—this is in¬cidental. Obtaining honor—you are either aBMOC until the next of the crop comes alongor you are fired. But it’s a lot of fun.It is a lot of fun. And since fun is whatyou are after you should be satisfied afterthree years on an activity. But why do theyfire you? As everyone who has ever tried toassemble a staff in the Maroon office on anafternoon in May knows, it is extremely diffi¬cult to secure people who will spend the timeand effort necessary in as unprofitable andthankless an occupation as most activities are.You are one who is interested—why do theyfire you? It would be much better for themto assemble all the senior talent, experience,and interest that they could to manage allUniversity activities. Why don’t they doit.—E. D. G.The Travelling BazaarBLACKFRIARStarries with us this week-end to amuse and, per¬haps, revile. The boys who were operating thesound truck on campus the other afternoon duringclass hours to publicize the show will get a goodhot letter from the Dean’s office, or we miss a gruess.And why raise a mustache? Shaven lips producethe same end—the Botany Pond. Some day maybethe seniors will do a really good job by securing asenior class list and checking the boys off as theygo in.We wonder why Paul Wagner’s Newsreel didn’tshow the elegant pictures that Stern took of himas he was tossed in the pond.This is our only joke, that is, the only one weever invented, so we’re awfully proud of it:1. “Have you heard about the guy who made hisfortune in potatoes?’’ i2. “No.”3. “Yeah, he started on a shoestring.”SPRING PLANTINGBud Larsen recently affixed the badg^e to thehighly publicized Jean Jacobs.

Coach Ned Merriam againpredicts defeat for the team thoughhe believes the final score will beclose.Purdue was able to eke out a vic¬tory over the tracksters in an indoormeet during the winter but the 44-42 score indicates the closeness ofthe two aggregations.While defeated by Western StateTeachers College last week at Kala¬mazoo, Michigan, Gloomy Ned Mer¬riam was pleased over the showingmade by some of the team members.Bob Cassels topped the bar at 13 feetand one-half inches in the pole vaultto win first place, his highest markof the season. IGeorge Halcrow has been cuttingdown his time and negotiated the dis¬tance against Western State in 48.9.Carl Frick i.s speeding up in thedashes and ought to pick up a fewpoints in the Purdue meet.Unfortunately the Maroon teamha.s been handicapped by injuries toCaptain John Beal, hurdler ,and MatKobak, broadjumper and hurdle. Al¬though Kobak will be able to com¬pete tomorrow Beal is definitely outof competition for the rest of the sea¬son.Beal’s injured leg was healed suf¬ficiently to enable him to run in themeet, but he again injured it j«s-terday in practice. Examinationswhich come during the Big Tenchampionships will make it impossiblefor him to participate.While Purdue took third in a tri¬angular meet with Indiana andNorthwestern last week it has somegood talent. Robert Lemon won thehigh hurdles and high jump in thetriangular meet, going over the tim¬bers in :15.2. The ^rdue distancemen did not show to advantage ton had to be called on account ofrain. Eight innings were played ina constant drizzle, but at the end ofthe eighth with the score 7-7, North¬western’s coach decided that the rainand mud on the field made playingimpossible.Chicago scored in the fifth, sixth,and eighth innings, tying the scorein the last inning by driving in 4runs.Harvey Lawson was the star of theteam, hurling the entire eight inningsand driving in six of the seven runs.Lawson had a banner day driving outtwo triples and a homer with thebases loaded.The game with Northwestern willprobably be replayed the early partof next week.This Saturday and Monday thePurple DefeatsCk^lfTeam 16-5 conference games and won all ofthem.Indiana LeadersOutstanding men of the Indianateam include Frank Filchook, HerbQueisser and Bob Adler. Filchook,who reported late for baseball is oneof the slugging stars of the team,while Queisser plays third base andis a veteran of two other seasons. Ad¬ler, the pitcher who recently heldMichigan State scoreless will prob¬ably get the starting assignmentagainst the Maroons.These games with* Indiana will bethe last time that Maroon baseballfans will get to see the 1937 squadin action on Greenwood field. Cap¬tain Shipway, Gillerlain, Schuessler,Bernard and Thompson, all regularsbut the latter will be making theirlast appearances.Chicago Tennis TeamPlays Loyola Todayagainst Indiana’s record making com¬bination, but Arthur Bodeau andGoory should have little trouble win¬ning from the Maroon runners whoare admittedly weak in this depart¬ment.Roger Delong in the dashes andCharles Terhune in the 440 yard runwill offer close competition and thehigh-lights of the meet will be thoseraces.Phi Psis, Dorms^Barristers Win inSoftball TourneyOne fraternity and two independ¬ent softball games were played yes¬terday in typical California weather.Phi Kappa Psi wallowed through to a14-6 victory over Alpha Delta Phi inthe first of the muddy contests,thereby stamping themselves as oneof the favorites to take the title.Tied with the Alpha Delts at threeruns apiece at the end of the fourth,the Phi Psi’s lost their backwardnessand scored at least two runs in eachof the succeeding innings. Egge-meyer of the latter did himselfproud, swatting out four hits includ¬ing a homer, in four times at bat. Histeammate, Hathaway, also camethrough with four; but Eckersall ofthe losers showed them both up, get¬ting five hits.The Barristers continued their un¬defeated string with a 14-6 defeat ofthe Magglers and stayed in undisput¬ed lead of the division. The latterwere held without a run for five inn¬ings but saved their faces with threein the sixth and again in the eighth.Burton-Judson came from behindto eke out a 9-8 win over the LadiesAid. The latter started out in grandstyle, scoring six runs in the firstand adding one apiece in the secondand third, after which they quit forthe day. The dormitory boys tied thescore in the sixth and put the gameaway the next inning.HOW LONG DOES MANWORK AFTERDEATH?Bill Walling.

MAY 14. 1937CerebralSalvageFrom j. C. M. Hutchins Talksto Officers ofBusiness ClubIda Noyes Hall is the most misun¬derstood building on this campus. Ithas been misunderstood ever sincethat day in June, 1913 when La-Verne Noyes made known his giftto the University for money for abuilding “to be used as a social cen¬ter and gymnasium for the women ofthe University,” In accepting thegift, the Board of Trustees used thephrase “women students of the Uni¬versity”—the beginning of an ambig¬uity of function that has lasted tothe present day.At first the community was sooverwhelmed by the generosity ofthe gift that there was a tendencytoward making the new building ashowplace—a cross between a mu¬seum and a Tudor manor. Thus forthe first decade of its existence, IdaNoyes Hall was not regarded as aplace to be regularly used, but as aplace for formal affairs. The mat¬rons of the community regarded itas their special province, and stu¬dents who even slumped in the stiffchairs were likely to be tapped on theshoulder. (Continued from page 1)wants. “You may be sure, there¬fore, that the American educationalsystem will be engaged in the culti¬vation of whatever is honored in theUnited States. Its weaknesses willbe the weaknesses of American Celli and TroupeGive Ballet atMandel W ednesday Gideonse Calls Fascist FriendshipBluff to Frighten Rest of Europeideals.This accounts for the formal fur¬nishings and archaic lighting facil¬ities which serve so effectively todefeat the true purpose of the build¬ing For how better could the every¬day social and recreational needs ofthe women students, or any students,of the Univeresity be served than bya place where they could meet, talk,play, read, or just sit—informally.You will get the idea if you contrastthe heavy, sedate atmosphere of IdaNoyes with the intimate, friendly at¬mosphere of the International Houselounges.The reason why this formal atmo¬sphere has prevailed so long is thatthe hall has traditionally been re¬garded as a sacred cow, and henceuntouchable. Student interests havebeen subordinated to those of thefaculty and community matrons, andthey are not interested in playingping pong or dancing to a Hal Kemprecord.Progress is gradually being made,but as far as redecorating is con¬cerned, it consists of only a coupleof comfortable sofas this year, twomore next year, and so on. At thisrate, Ida should be very livable bythe time of the University’s first cen¬tennial.Architecturally, the hall is mag¬nificently fitted for its function. Whatis needed is a complete redecorationof the interior, with an eye to modemfurniture, adequate lighting, and areapportionment of rooms accordingto use.One major suggestion in this con- {nection—why not use a part of the jCloister Club as a Coffee Shop, to be!kept open evenings as well as all day !long? This would certainly make the jhall more attractive as a gathering'place.But mere physical change is notenough. To get the most use out ofthe building will require a reformu¬lation of policy to take account of thefact that a perpetual hen party is notthe most natural form of social life.Men should be welcomed in the com¬pany of women, or even unaccom¬panied, if they do not over-run theplace. As a matter of fact, theformerly rigid rules on this point havenow been wisely relaxed and menare welcome with their femalefriends at any time, and in all partsof the building However, the longtradition of femininity is hard toovercome. The ultimate step wouldseem to be to open the hall to unac¬companied men, for many social con¬tacts may be built up between thosewho first meet in the hall. Educational Ideal“I suggest that the ideal that weshould propose for the United Statesis the common good as determinedin the light of reason,” he told thebusiness administrators. If we setthis ideal before us it is clear thatthe cultivation of the intellect be¬comes the first duty of the educa¬tional system. I suggest that the cul¬tivation of the intellectual virtues canbe accomplished through the com¬munication of our intellectual tra¬dition and through training in the in¬tellectual disciplines.“This means understanding thegreat thinkers of the past and pres¬ent, scientific, historical, and philos¬ophical. It means a grasp of the dis¬ciplines of grammar, rhetoric, logic,and mathematics. It does not, ofcourse, mean the exclusion of con¬temporary materials. They shouldbe brought in daily to illustrate, con¬firm or deny the ideas held by thewriters under discussion.”The effect of current ideals on theeducational system is apparent on thesurface. President Hutchins observ¬ed. Freedom in the sense of anarchypervades the curriculum, relationswith students and the organizationof educational institutions.The most important influence inthe system, he contended, is the pop¬ular desire for material goods, andthe “somewhat too prevalent notionthat the main purpose of educationis to help us to make money.” Sucha notion leads to the increasing pro¬fessionalization of the university andthe increasing vocationalization of thepublic schools. President Hutchinssaid.Other Schools RepresentedComptrollers, business managers,and secretaries of more than fiftycolleges and universities are attend¬ing the meeting. Appearing on theprogram this morning are Robert B.Stewart, Comptroller of Purdue Uni¬versity, speaking on “The FormalTraining of Business Administra¬tors,” and Lloyd Morey, Comptrollerof the University of Illinois, on “TheProblem of Developing StandardsOthers Than Those of Accounting inBusiness Practices in Colleges andUniversities.”Dr. A. J. Klein, Professor of Edu¬cation, Ohio State University, speaksin the afternoon session on “FutureTrends in Education,” and Harry L.Wells, Business Manager, Northwest¬ern University, on “Problems of theBusiness Office Arising from FutureTrends in Education.”Trevor Arnett, formerly Presidentof the General Education Board, willspeak at a dinner meeting on “Col¬lege Finance, Past, Present, and Fu¬ture.” Frederic Woodward, VicePresident of the University of Chi¬cago, will comment on the materialdeveloped in the day’s program. The members of the RenaissanceSociety yesterd^ announced its sec¬ond annual ballet to be held in LeonMandel Hall on Wednesday at 8:15.It will be presented by Signor Vin¬cenzo Celli and his troupe.Celli was premier danseur at LaScala in Milan for a number of sea¬sons, and was the partner of Pav¬lova in London. He gave a recitalin Chicago on April 25 under theauspices of the Adult EducationForum. Interesting sidelight of thisperformance was the fact that dueto the change to daylight saving timehis pianist did not show up until oneIiour after the performance wasscheduled to start and Celli dancedpart of his number without music.Not only that, critics reported thatthe audience liked it.The members of the ballet weretrained by Signor Celli personally,and all the numbers were created byhim.Tickets for the performance are50 cents and one dollar, obtainableat Lyon and Healy, InternationalHouse, the Information Office, andWieboldt 205. In spite of newspaper stories byforeign correspondents more thanhinting at treaties and pledges ofsupport between Germany and Italy,Harry D. Gideonse, associate profes¬sor of economics, said in an interviewyesterday, that the strong friendshipbetween Hitler and Mussolini is prob¬ably only bluff .“They hope that people will befrightened by the threat of havingthe two Fascist governments in astrong union,” he said, “but there isno permanent basis for friendship.The expansion programs of Italy andGermany would eventually land themon each other’s doorstep, and a real¬istic Italian government could neverafford to have a strong Germany onits frontier.”Gideonse believes that a more log¬ical, though seemingly absurd line-upwould be between Germany and Rus¬sia. “They are at present,” he stated,“kept far apart by their differingideologies, but this is not an un¬bridgeable gap. They supplementeach other economically, with Rus¬sia supplying the raw materials andGermany the manufactured goodsand processing industries, and in facthave kept on trading in spite of Hit¬ler’s tirades against Communism.”By CORNELIUS SMITHArthur H. Compton, professor of, constructed allPhysics at the University, has justreceived the first complete and sig¬nificant reports from the cosmic raystation he established in Mexico lastFebruary. Dr. Vallarta, of the Mas¬sachusetts Institute of Technology,assisted in the installation.The actual measurements are madeon a cosmic ray meter, a complicat-dancing without the red tape of reg¬istration. The number of partici¬pants is steadily increasing, and it isvery significant that many newfriendships have been formed in thisway.The most encouraging sign to ap¬pear in Ida Noyes for many years isthe introduction this year of “openactivities.” This program enablesmen and women to engage in suchsports as roller skating, bowling, bad¬minton, swdmming, billiards, and The possibilities for Ida Noyes aretremendous. It is the closest ap¬proach we have to the extensive Un¬ion buildings of other universities.The fact that the University is locat¬ed in the city makes a place of thekind even more necessary, as a dailyhome for the many students who livefar from the quadrangles. It is nothard to find fault writh the workingsof the social system of the Univer¬sity, and perhaps this one building,if properly used, might provide a keyto a new social era, in which stu¬dents would not act to each other astotal strangers. ed instrument weighing over a ton,which Professor Compton construct¬ed in his laboratory here at the Uni¬versity. The meter records the pres¬ence of the rays on a small strip ofsmoked paper. The device is housedin an enclosed structure about eightfeet square. Complete freedom fromall undesirable external elements isassured by thick insulated lead walls.The Mexican observatory, locatednear Mexico City, is one of five onwhich Professor Compton has beenworking in collaboration with theCarnegie Institute of Washington.The primary purpose of the study isto determine the intensity of the cos¬mic ray in various parts of the world,and to this end the five stations arelocated on widely separated parts ofthe globe. Professor Compton has the apparatus used,and has also selected the various lo¬cations.In order that the data obtainedfrom each station may be comparedwith past findings, and also with thatfrom other stations, reports are sentto the centrally located office inWashington by those in charge of theimmediate operation of the observa¬tories. In the case of the Mexicanobservatory this is done by the Uni¬versity of Mexico, acting as partsponsor of the project.Although the program of gettingsuch cosmic measurements started in1933, and has received attention inEurope, where continuous measure¬ments have been made, the presentstudy is the first on such a compre¬hensive scale.Dodd Attack(Continued from page 1) Select Finalists inAnnual Bible Reading:people, Gideonse explained.The complete letter covered some Ifour columns in the Times.
