UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO, TUESDAY, MAY 25, 1937 Price Three Cent#Maroon SurveyGives Figureson CrammingQuestionnaires Show Ex¬tensive Cramming AmongStudents.One third of the students at theuniversity cram about half of theirwork, and one fifth hire tutors in theSpring quarter, The Daily Maroonquestionnaire revealed yesterday eve¬ning when almost half of the estimat¬ed five hundred ballots were tabulat¬ed.While more than one fifth of thecampus does not cram at all, and an¬other fifth completes more than 80per cent of the year’s work, largenumbers of students, e^;pecially in the.social science division, complete onlyone half or thne fourths of theiryear’s readings before an intensivecramming period of usually one tothree weeks, sometimes two days totwo hours.Forty out of 250 students do 30 percent of their work or less beforecramming. Some do only five or tenper cent of their work until shortlybefore exams.Place of residence seems to havesome effect upon cramming. Men liv¬ing in fraternity houses cram about15 per cent more than those who liveat home, in dormitories, or in board¬ing houses. Men and women livingin dormitories do the least cramming,usually having 90 per cent f theirwork done by about two weeks beforeexaminations. ^Tutoring ProTalentTutoring is most prevalent amongfraternity men, least prevalent amongthose who live at home. About a thirdof the fraternity men tutor, accordingto preliminary figures, and a four¬teenth of those who live at home hiretutors. Tutoring usually lasts one,two, three, or six weeks precedingexaminations.Twelve students out of every thir¬teen use past examinations in prepar¬ing to take new ones. However, onlyone-fifth of those who use past ex¬ams refer to them for memorizingstock questions. Several explainedthat such a practice is not worth whilesince so many questions are changedwith every exam. Students living in Student Waiters^Mather^ Concur onIncrease of WagesIn two conferences over the week¬end, the committee of student wait¬ers in Hutchinson Commons and Bur¬sar William J. Mather came to ap¬parent agreement over the terms ofwage settlement.A wage increase from 35 to 40cents an hour in cash, to take ef¬fect at the beginning of the nextquarter, was announced last week.The waiters sought a further increaseof at least five cents an hour.Wages, including those of studentsand permanent employees, compriseapproximately one-third of the costsentering into food prices at the Com¬mons. The increase granted in wages,12*/4 per cent, will therefore increasecounter food prices approximately 4per cent.A further wage increase of 5 centsan hour would mean a total increaseof 20 per cent, and increase in foodprices of approximately 6^ percent. In the opinion of Mather, whowas backed by Assistant BusinessManager William B. Harrell, such anincrease at the present time wouldbe unjustified.

The cost to theUnited States of past and futurewars is close to four billion and »half dollars a year.’’She likened the expenditure ofpublic funds to “a great sievethrough which the tax-collectedfunds disappear,’’ in speaking of thegreat amount of boondoggling beingcarried on. Abbott made this state¬ment in view of the withdrawal ofdirect relief funds by the federalgovernment with liquidation of theFERA.Attacks HopkinsSaying that Federal Relief Admin¬istrator Harry L. Hopkins used “anargument that is no argument’’ injustifying the federal relief shut¬down, she asserted that “as poor asthe relief level was under the fed¬eral assistance plan, it gave millionsof families something better for atime than some of them had ever have known in most .states since thetragic decision made by the FederalRelief Administrator and his chief toj ‘end this business of relief’.’’con- Blaming the present chaos on thiswithdrawal of funds, Abbott saidthat “the whole relief program hascollapsed in many areas. Competentworkers have been dismissed andthose people who have been our cli¬ents are now nobody’s clients and no-i>ody’s responsibility.’’ Charging thatif some of the federal funds now ap¬propriated for the army, navy, vet¬erans administration, and “as re¬wards for the political friends of thesuccessful party’’ are diverted to re¬lief channels, she remarked that “nonew taxes are needed for such a re¬lief program.’’“The money is there,’’ she con¬tinues in discussing a socialgram, “but it is thrown away.

In addition to hispersonal grifts, he established fourgreat organizations as the main ve¬hicles for his philanthropies. Theyare the Rockefeller Foundation, theGeneral Education Board, the LauraSpelman Rockefeller Memorial, andthe Rockefeller Institute for MedicalResearch.. ;University Largest Benefactor IThe University of Chicago is thelargest single beneficiary of his phil¬anthropies. Beginning with an orig¬inal endowment of $600,000 to theUniversity, Rockefeller’s subsequentdonations through gifts and throughhis boards have brought the total to$78,000,000 or more than the com¬bined gifts from all other benefactors.His contributions have been aswidespread as they have been gener¬ous. Yale and Harvard have each re¬ceived over a million dollars whileover 20 other educational institutionshave been given very substantialgifts from the Rockefeller estate.Chief among donations to other en¬terprises have been those to religiousfoundations and YMCA work.Prepared Way for Present Grants—.Writing of Mr. Rockefeller in “TheStory of the University of Chi¬cago,” Thomas W.

The foundations he createdhave contributed an. equal amount.This alone would give him a uniqueposition among the world’s philan¬thropists. But what is almost as re¬markable, he refused to permit theUniversity to bear his name, and henever interfered directly or indirect¬ly, with the Trustees’ freedom of ac¬tion or the faculty’s freedom ofthought and teaching. It is impos¬sible to over-estimate the indebted¬ness of America and of mankind forsuch a noble service to education andthe search for truth.Swift’s statement:Mr. Rockefeller established a newconception of the social responsibil¬ities of great wealth. He used hisfortune with imagination and intelli¬gence as a means of accomplishingthe betterment of the world. Espe¬cially did support for projects in edu¬cation and medicine derive from hisbenevolence, yet remain free and in¬dependent of his control. Much ofthe present high standard and fineachievement of medical research isthe result of the en^jouragement ofMr. Rockefeller and the Boards heestablished. I believe he was theoriginator of the foundation as theinstrument of administering largegrifts to achieve the most good, andhis well doing will be long perpet¬uated.Mr. Rockefeller was the founderof the University of Chicago. Its ex¬istence and rapid growth in influenceand service were due not only to hisenlightened interest, but also to theenthusiasm he had in the criticalyears for Dr. Harper’s plans for agreat university in the Middle West.The sorrow for the death of Mr.Rockefeller will be world-wide. Weof the University of Chicago particu¬larly mourn the pa.ssing of a manwho was both benefactor and friend.A ■liitoliifawi'jlPage Two THE DAILY MAROON, TUESDAY.

Rockefeller Sr. mustrecall in vivid fashion to everyone connectedwith the University of Chicago the great debtthis institution owes to its founder. His contri¬butions cannot be measured only in terms ofthe thirty-four million dollars of personal giftsor the seventy-eight million dollars of totalgifts that have been made to the University byhim, his son, and the various foundations whichhe has endowed. To his munificence and, in¬deed, to his prophetic vision, the Universityowes its very existence.If for nothing else, Mr. Rockefeller will al¬ways be remembered as the man who amassedmore millions of personal wealth than any oth¬er figure in American history. But he will alsobe remembered as the man who gave countlessmillions, also more than any other American,to worthy philanthropic causes. Mr. Rocke¬feller was deeply interested in education, andhis gifts to educational institutions were legion.None of these institutions, however, was treat¬ed so generously as the University of Chicago.It was because of Mr. Rockefeller’s interestin education and his remarkable sense of vis¬ion, which served him equally well in otherfields as in business, that William Rainey Har¬per s dream of a great midwestern universityfirst came into being. It waB because of Mr.Rockefeller s continued generosity and hisfaith in the people guiding the destinies of theUniversity, that the institution was enabledto continue operating and expanding duringthe early, crucial years of its existence, despitelarge and persistent budgetary deficits. Andit was because of Mr. Rockefeller’s firm in¬sistence, that the University s finances werefinally placed on a sound, self-supportingbasis.Yet withal Mr. Rockefeller never deemed itadvisable to in any way interfere with the edu¬cational aims or policies of the University, nordid he ever fail to remind people of Chicagoand the Midwest that the institution was theirresponsibility and to remind the Universitythat, in the end, it must stand or fall on its ownmerit. Much of the University’s sense of re¬sponsibility, its spirit of freedom, its pioneer¬ing ventures in education can be attributed tothis attitude on his part.The University of Chicago truly has ful¬filled John D. Rockefeller’s vision and faith.Almost from its inception it has occupied a po¬sition of »‘min»*nre in the educational world,D. Rockefeller will be remembered forJohn many things, but foremost among them he willbe remembered for founding this University.The City Gray will stand as his greatest monu¬ment.—J. A. K.New Concept of RushingIn the three remaining weeks of the quar¬ter, members of the campus fraternities mustagain attempt to solve that perennial problem,remodification of the rushing rules, in the hopeof someday arriving at a system which can betermed workable. If this attempt is to be anymore successful than previous ones, we suggestthat the members of the Interfraternity Com¬mittee abandon all efforts to find sanctionsthat will be effective in securing observance ofthe present rules, and, instead, seek a redefini¬tion of the idea of rushing and of the aims ofregulating ruling.It is apparent from any comparison of fra¬ternity men’s and the administration's viewson the subject that at least two concepts ofrushing prevail. The administration definesrushing in the strict sense as any method usedto persuade a freshman to join a fraternity.In order to eliminate the “distraction” of rush¬ing during the entering student's first quarter,the University desires that it be deferred untilthe Winter quarter, but does not intend thisspitulation to outlaw regular contacts of a so¬cial nature between fraternity men and fresh¬men. It would be permissable, under this ideaof rushing, for fraternity men to go out withfreshmen, and to invite them to lunches and todances at fraternity, houses, as long as they donot engage in “rushing talks” or use othermethods of persuasion.Fraternity men, on the other hand, think ofrushing in the more realistic sense including allbut purely casual contacts with freshmen, real¬izing that friendships formed during theAutumn quarter strengthen the force of at¬tempts at actual persuasion during intensiverushing week. A more realistic view, perhaps,but one which requires the “almost completediscontinuation of associations between frater¬nity men and freshmen ” if this sort of rushingis to be deferred.It seems expedient, therefore, that frater¬nities adopt the administration’s concept ofrushing. We repeat our earlier suggestion: scrapthe present rules regarding '‘illegal” rushingrules; adopt a plan placing no restriction onthe number or nature of the contacts betweenfraternity men and freshmen. Under thispolicy, limited financial resources, as well astime, of fraternity men would be as effectiveas anything else in preventing an excess num¬ber of contacts prior to the period just preced¬ing pledging. And for observance of the pro¬hibition of the use of “rushing talks” or otherpersuasive mtehods before the Winter quar¬ter, we rely on the honor of fraternity men, re¬enforced by the fact that such methods havegenerally proved futile until pledging seasondraws near.—J. A. K.The Travelling BazaarPASSING EVENTSThe happenings of the week-end were enoughto make any news editor’s head swim. The DailyNews was forced last evening to tuck away thefact that the Lindberghs now have a third son ina meager little one column story.The University lost its founder, Internation¬al House saw “A Streak of Pink,” administratorsand student employees engaged in conferences onindustrial relations, the Alpha Delts gave theirplays, a baby buggy burned at midnight in theCircle, and there were faint rumors that theplacid Botany Pond had again been disturbed.♦ ♦ ♦CURTAINThe social season, as far as the campus proper isconcerned, is officially over. Ail that remains nowis the annual series of parties in the hinterland.Advance indications are that the more popular fe¬males will spend a considerable portion of theirtime commuting between here and Lakeside.♦ ♦ ♦THE ROSTERof campus notables for next year is nearlycomplete. The women have already chosen theirs,and so have such campus organizations as theDebate Union and Dramatic A.ssociation.

Aides and Marshals, and Phi BetaKappa.* ^ mAnd John Barden will set a precedent nexttsunday as the first student speaker on th.e RoundTable, The Fire^Burning^{This open forum article on thecurent educational controversjf iswrittten by Henry Reese, the manwho raised Phoenix from its prover¬bial ashes. Phoenix Editor Reese hastaken many a pot shot at the tac¬tics of the Hutchins administration.While maintaining disagreement to¬ward Hutchins’ tactics, Reese herebystates agreement with some of thePresident’s theories.)In the immediate discussion ofPresident Hutchins’ book I shall tryto confine myself to those things withwhich I agree. It is fruitless to men¬tion any disagreement, for the bookis so general in its more significantsections that one can only criticizethe implications which seem to bepresent, and every implication thusfar found in disagreement with thePresident has been denied, and thecritic has been automatically provedilliterate.I understand the President to be.saying that man should be taughthow, not what to think; that the high¬er learning should concern itself withthe inculcation of the proper meth-1ods of dealing with facts, not with |the enumeration or manipulation ofthe facts themselves; that the scien¬tist, the lawyer, or whatever, shouldserve an apprenticeship in philosophybefore entering his trade, in orderthat he may understand what he isdoing and why he is doing it; andthat the American University todayis not organized in conformity withthis “proper” plan.With these propositions I can findlittle fault. Without the facts whichare notably lacking in the President’sbook, and without drawing what seem j' to be obvious implications, there is jlittle to criticize. Consequently crit- jicism of the book has been largelybased not on what Hutchins has writ¬ten, but on what he has not written.The major issue in the controversyis one which has been left carefullyunstated by the President. The un¬stated matter is simply the answer tothe question “What do you meanshould be studied under the term‘metaphysics’?” If he is referring toa specific “True” metaphysics thenthere is certainly every reason to op¬pose his plan, in its (unstated) spec¬ific aspects, if not in its general pur¬pose of clarifying education. Thebook carries ample denial of anysuch intent to dogmatize the curricu¬lum, but I would privately be in¬clined to read such an implicationinto it, not necessarily from the in¬tent of Mr. Hutchins, but from un¬avoidable accident. If, on the other.!hand, he means that all studentsshould be required to have a knowl¬edge of the many significant systemsof thought, then a well taught coursein the history of philosophy shouldserve his purpose.The President says: “In the studyof (the natural sciences) such recentobservations as serve to illustrate,exemplify, or confirm these (first)principles must be included.” Asidefrom the fact that you cannot provea metaphy.sical principle by factualobservation (which would render the' President’s statement somewhatsenseless) this would leave no roomfor such recent observations as servenot to confirm but to deny or modifythese “first principles,” whateverthey may be. There may be somefirst principles which are true andeverlasting. But many men havecaught a truth by the tail in the past,only to have later generations dis¬cover that it was attached to astuffed dummy. Some of us prefer tobelieve that first principles are a finething while they last but that a Humeor an Einstein or even a Dewey mayand should be permitted to raise seri¬ous doubts about any or all of them.The work of Aquinas was a workof rationalization. He built a mag¬nificent superstructure of logic ona faith. It was the faith which servedto unify his period, not the ration¬alization. With a disturbingly fondbackward glance Mr. Hutchins leaves sary and desirable interweaving offact and theory which makes for bal¬anced theory and intelligent think¬ing. I mention this only as an ex¬ample of what would appear to be afundamental fallacy in the Presi¬dent’s thinking—the fallacy of mak¬ing black and white distinctions.Grays are more predominant in fact.But I have .wandered from mystated purpose. I have considered anumber of implications. This is dan¬gerous. If one finds little to disagreewith in the simple statements of thebook, one becomes a partisan to allthe implications read into it. If onediscusses what seem to be the impli¬cations, one is simply contradicted. Ihave done the latter and, because Ihave found somethings to criticize, Iobviously can not read. But I canstill see and hear.And what I see and hear bears outthe fears of the opponents of Presi¬dent Hutchins. The members of thefaculty on this campus are either pro-Hutchins, indifferent, or scared. Thefear of the latter bespeaks a cause.It bespeaks some form of intimida¬tion. I see no reason to distinguishbetween the evils of frightening aprofessor away from the subject ofeconomics and of frightening himaway from the subject of education.Such a professor might just as wellbe under a State University presi¬dent.My criticism here, of course, isbased on observation and is not di¬rectly concerned with the President’sbook. The relationship of observa¬tion with the book is established bythose professors and students who, bytheir external unity and associationwith the President, are known as dis¬ciples and cohorts of him. We cansee and hear them—and they tend tobear out the very implications whichPresident Hutchins denies. Theyhave the Truth. That’s enough to make them suspect. Their truthleads in the direction of angels on pinheads, the burning of heretics, andeventual retirement to a hermitage,there to sit on a pillar, eat nuts, andwait for God to carry them off to apinhead of their own.Either these disciples are hereticswho should themselves be burnt tosave the President embarrassment,or their thinking may be taken as atrue indication of the views whichunderly his book. If his followerscorrectly understand the President,he should admit the implications hehas been denying. If they don’t un¬derstand him, who in Heaven can?Today on theQuadranglesV W.A.A.

MARXIST HYPOCRISYEditor,Daily Maroon:The numerous articles concernedwith the defense of Marxism whichhave been encumbering the columnsof The Daily Maroon should bringclearly to the consciousness of theMarxists themselves as well as to theloSTjry intellects of such curious lib¬eral specimens as our esteemed anti-Fascist Miss Gilson the realizationthat the Marxists are asking for classwar and they are going to get it.They asked for it in Spain and theygot it, and the same thing will hap¬pen elsewhere.If they had the guts to be frankabout the whole business, to acceptresponsibility, and reprisals from thepeople they attack, then one couldstomach some of their verbal effu¬sions more easily. The recognizedMarxist technique, however, is to cre¬ate trouble and then try to throwthe odium for creating it upon someone else, preferably upon much ma¬ligned Fascism which is a term usedby the Reds to designate anythingthat conflicts with Marxism. It is aholy mission for the true believersto wipe out all opposition to theProphet, Marx, but if the intendedvictims do some killing on their ownaccount then it is a “vile Fascistcrime,” and the Red propagandadesigned to pull the wool over theeyes of our profes-sional democratsstops at no lengths to sanctify Marx-i.st murders while condemning thoseof the opposition. . . .The unfortunate feature of thewhole situation is that many inno¬cent person.s who care nothing aboutpolitics are trapped between the twosets of fanatics and get it from bothsides.The attempts of the Marxisms tohoodwink these victims of the forcesRed elements have set in motion, theMarxist’s cowardly evasion of respon¬sibility, their sanctimonious propa-xgunda designed to discredit theirfoes, in short their utter goddamnsneaking hypocrisy is what makes thecomrades an unbearable stink to thenostrils of anyone with a clear brainin his head. . . ,Warren Jackton.Baffling BaggageandTroublesomeTrunks.'einHo*n&dock!ceeds to propose the adoption of an |undefined superstructure without the jfaith w'hich would accomplish the uni- {fication he desires.Now I am not an educator.

It goes withoutsaying that chief among these waslohn Davison Rockefeller. He wasone of those men who change his¬tory. It fell to him to alter for thebetter the future of mankind; notthrough his business successes, saveas these were one condition of allthat followed, but through his phil¬anthropies, which extend round theworld, and are so organized that theywill continue to influence, and, inever widening circles, to bless thehuman race.

The brilliant Yale profes¬sor, William Rainey Harper, was theunanimous choice of the trustees andMr. Rockefeller, to head this new col¬lege. Dr. Harper, however, did notfeel justified in leaving Yale to be¬come president of a college. If, onthe other hand, an additional millioncould be rai.sed and the school startedas a university he agreed to acceptthe invitation. Upon this assuranceof the acceptance of Dr. Harper, Mr.Rockefeller made his second gift tothe new institution ($1,000,000) andthe University of Chicago opened itsdoors as such on October 1, 1892.During the following two decadesthe air jingled almost continuously with millions of dollars flitting fromeast-coast New York to the southernsuburbs of Chicago under the direc¬tion of benevolent John D. Rockefel¬ler. Mr. Rockefeller at no time be¬grudged the giving these thirty-fivemillions, but one thing worried him:at the end of each year the budgetwould not balance by a quarter of amillion dollars—more or less. Al¬though he did not approve of thismethod of doing business, he admiredDr. Harper for the results he wasachieving, rejoiced at the progressof the University and, annually (un¬til the budget was unbalanced forthe la.st time in 1908) paid the deficitwhile frequently adding a million orso to the endowment fund. upon the Seal, it expressed far lessthan the full truth. Other institu¬tions have been founded by some par¬ticular man. They might have beenfounded by some other man just aswell. But there was no other manto do for the University of Chicagowhat Mr. Rockefeller did for it.Without him an educational institutionof some kind might have been estab¬lished, but nothing resembling theUniversity of Chicago. For bringingthat institution into existence, he wasthe one essential man.After the funeral services today,the body will be taken to Lake Viewcemetery in Cleveland for burial.

Nihousen, theperennial dark horse, thus completedhis college career with his third ma¬jor upset. Two years ago he defeatedRussell Ball and last year he did it iagain only to lose to Bickel. This jyear he fell upon Bickel after the ex- jchampion had, by sheer determina¬tion, whipped the highly rated Wild¬cat, George Ball, on Friday. Afterthe second game of the second set,Nihousen took the net and Bickel, hisbackhand weakening, was apparentlyunable to rally.The defeat of Bill Murphy by Mar¬vin Wachman of Northwestern in thesecond singles flight was unexpectedafter the two defeats Bill had admin¬istered to the Wildcat earlier in theseason. Wachman, however, display¬ed a much better brand of tennis onthis occasion than he had done be¬fore, and Bill was not in his usual^ form.j The biggest flop of the Universityj squad was John Krietenstein, who lostI to Ollie Adelman of Northwestern inI the sixth singles' flight on Friday af-j ter which Adelman went on to winthe title. Krietenstein after winninghe first set, led 5-2, in the second and4-1 in the third, but lost innumerablematch points. Only his completelack of experience under fire can ex¬cuse him. Captain Burgess foughthard but was unable to overcome Rus¬sell Ball and lost to the Wildcat staronce again in the second round of thethird singles flight. 18 and 19 and the following weekwill participate in the inter-confer¬ence meet in Los Angeles.
