Alumni MagazineFeatures Linn“I see little in the system suggestedby Mr. Hutchins to indicate that itsguinea pigs would become self-ex¬pressive guinea pigs ... if you can¬not say, your thinking is useless.” Inthis vein James Weber Linn re-playshis recent Convocation address, “OhSee, Can You Say?” for the benefit ofreaders of the February issue of theUniversity of Chicago Magazine, outtoday.“In Defense of President Hutchins,”Earl Rauber, ’24, replies to the ques¬tion last month of “Is the Universitya Good Place for Alumni Children.”In “A Variation of the Theme,” PaulO’Donnell, ’07, carries on the defense.Bud Larson speaks of fraternities,ASU and the C-Esta; an article on“The Higher Learning” (in Liberia)shows what another man thinks.The magazine is on sale todayspecially priced for students at fif¬teen cents.Ancient SkullArrives SafelyFrom the largest single find ofprimitive man ever made, the Uni¬versity’s department of Anthropologyhas just received the reconstructedskull of a Sinanthropus woman, wholived in China during the early IceAge, approximately half a millionyears ago. The skull will be on ex¬hibition for a short time in the Orien¬tal Institute.Since 1927 excavations have beenconducted in a limestone cave about35 miles from Peiping. More thantwo tons of animal bones belonging tothe early ice ages, hundreds of crudestone tools, and portions of 25 or 26human beings have been found sealedin by a redeposited limestone.Ridges Above EyesHuge ridges above the eyes,quickly retreating foreheads withlittle development of the fore por¬tion of the brain, but considerabledevelopment of the brain case in theregion above the ears typify theappearance of Sinanthropus. A bonyridge back of the skull is a distinctlyanthropoid character, but comparisonof the reconstructed skull with thatof a gorilla and of a modern Chineseindicates the transitional characterof Peiping man.Piecing together the completelypreserved brain case, and part of theleft side of the face. Dr. Franz Wei-denreich, formerly of the Universityand now in charge of the Peiping ex¬cavations, reconstructed the skull.Missing portions were filled in bycomparison with portions of otherskulls of the type found in the cave.The reconstruction was brought toChicago by Trevor Bowen, comptrol-(Continued on page 3)Arrange Valentine*sDay Luncheon forYWCA TomorrowThursday from 11:30 to 1 o’clock,YWCA will hold its annual valentinedinner on the second floor of IdaNoyes hall.

A fourth par¬ty of the Political Union has beenformed.Official title for this newest idea ofa law student whose isolation amongthe Barristers has converted him toa nationalistic and dictatorial frameof mind, is the Political Union Gal¬lery Brigade.Small, but strong, the group willexpress its sentiments against theproceedings of the evening until theyare forcefully ejected from the con¬clave, no provision having been madein the constitution to allow gallerymembers to speak.It is the hope of this newest partythat they may attract meiybers ofthe Conservative party to their wayof thinking. At least, they are tryinghard to achieve that objective.1. Creation of a vigorous campus community.2. Abolition of intercollegiate athletics.3. Progessive politics.4. Revision of the College Plan.5. A chastened president.Editorial Program-This week is not only the middle week ofthe winter quarter but of the school year aswell. The Maroon has spent most of the past15 weeks on the problems of the Universitysocial community in one form or another. Itremains to talk about the University.It is customary to say that universitiesexist to educate students. If so, it would benice to know what an education should be, andhow it could best be attained. The Maroon in¬tends to spend most of its editorial energiesfor the balance of the year on this question.Already we have said that teaching canonly be good w^hen the material is unified by aconsistent and adequate intellectual under¬standing of the world. Only so can a subjectmatter be saved from triviality and futility.But the question that always arises whenanyone begins to talk about ‘intellectual under¬standing’, or ‘synthesis of knowledge’, or‘metaphysics’ is whose metaphysics? whosesynthesis? whose understanding? We havealready said that the synthesis must be ar¬rived at by private thought and open discus¬sion of conclusions. We have said that such asynthesis can only be established in Americaneducation through its successful initiation bysmall or new colleges and imitation by the es¬tablished institutions. The synthesis will berecognized only long after its formulation, andthe sign will be that more and more thoughtfulmen find it true.Until that time everyone is entitled to behis own prophet, his own philosopher. Eventhe Maroon intends to put in its two bits worth.For the next few days, I will make a few prop¬ositions that I would set forth as a necessarypart of a successful synthesis. Following, I willindicate why I believe the intellectual struc¬tures raised by Marx and Aristotle cannotserve as the unifying principle of knowledgetoday.Following this nonchalant disposal of theleading candidates, I will turn to considerationof some immediate steps, administrative andotherwise, that would take some of the blotsoff University teaching as it exists at present.By that time, since presumably there willbe no readers left, I will be safe in filling thecolumn with nonsense even less thinly dis¬guised than that outlined above.The above is more a pogrom than a pro¬gram, but we promise a tear jerker for the lastday of the spring quarter. Till then adieu,dear reader, and tomorrow for synthesis.Vol. 38 FEBRUARY 2, 1938 No. 62^atlg (^aroonFOUNDED IN 1901Member Associated Collegiate PressThe Daily Maroon is the official student newspaper of the Uni¬versity of ChicaKo, published mornings except Saturday, Sunday,and Monday during the Autumn, Winter, and Spring quarters byThe Daily Maroon Company, 6331 University avenue.

By her complexion shall yeenvy her, for it glows like Yardley soap advertise¬ments.Although her .skin appears singularly shininglyclean, her verse isn’t. Her limericks undoubtedly wouldcapture all medals (peppermint or otherwise, Mr. Ro-diti) for pure pruriency.Enigmatic and enjoying it, Christine Palmer de¬lights in vivid tales of her adventures with LIFE andher conquests with unusual men, as exampled by anArgentine noble, who wants nothing more than her.While at Sarah Lawrence, Christine gloried in being thelone Trotskyite on campus. Whether her political senti¬ments have undergone a metamorphosis, or whether itis no fun being a Trotskyite on a campus where Trots-kyites abound, she hasn’t allied herself with the Chi¬cago group.International House’s eccentrics fascinate her, andshe procrastinates most of her waking hours with herlittle Int-House playmates, who in turn are fascinatedby her throaty, intriguing tales.The Drama remains her first love. Accounts of herlast summer’s work with a theatre group in Vermont’smountains increase her enthusiasm’s glow. Even whennot participating in a play, she has her own little stageand is her own little star, speaking all the lines andprocuring for herself the best center stage position.Perhaps that tendency is her tragic flaw. Or perhapsin that tendency lies her charm. THE DEADLINESATURDAY FEB. 12 IS THE LAST DAYTO HAVE YOUR SENIOR PICTURE TAKENFOR THE 1938 CAP & GOWN.

So forthe sentimentally inclined who love to have theirheartstrings tugged, there is the story about theHutchinses, glamorous creatures who don’t seem to beable to live their own lives in peace . . , They wentwalkTng one evening . . . and who should they meetbut a scraggly, weak kneed, lop-eared, yellow alleycat, very young and battered by the world. Touchedto the quick (as we hope they were) the Hutchinsespicked her up gently, carried her home to a life ofluxury. She has now added to her accomplishments. . . sleeping at the bottom of Joanna Blessing’s bed. . . being picked up by the nape of the neck from Mrs.Hutchin’s mink coat . . something a University stu¬dent certainly has never been able to do. She nowranks among the girls of the President’s office secondonly to the sacred cows of India.And if you’re a lowbrow, interested only in the mis¬fortunes and agony of other human beings, you’ll de¬light in the fact that P. J. Peeples has taken JimmieLydell’s Alpha Delt pin, on a permanent propositionbasis ... as has Byron Gundlach pinned Martha VanGorkom . . . Phi Psi’s gloated again yesterday whentheir houseman, a most amiable colored chap namedWaybrum, climbed into the capitalist class, an old PhiPsi ambition. He happened to wager the Psi U house¬man a dollar that Phi Psi would reap the largest pledgeclass . . . and now the Psi U man is acting very nastyand ill-tempered about the whole affair.. .talking about“slender margins’’ and “the difference between quantityand quality.’’Blackfriars, while recuperating from a fit of thesulks, received still another blow to the pride yester¬day. Came a postcard introducing them to the Baron’sA.C. composed of boys under 19 years of age . . . hav¬ing the distinction of being equipped with uniform.sand affiliated with the Austin YMCA . . who want tofind an open date in Blackfriar boys basketball sched¬ule. Most significant was the P.S. which read “Teamsmust be uniformed," which cinches our suspicions ofa Nazi-Friars regpme.There was also the postcard addressed to Mr. FriarsBlack, offering to trace his genealogical tree, give himan Ancestry Chart measuring 17 by 22 inches “con¬taining space in which you can record the names ofyour ancestors in all lines for eight generations.’’ “Ifit lasts that long,’’ is all we can say. Have you always had a secret am¬bition to run an elevator? Wouldyou like a chance to do some secre¬tarial work? These are only two ofthe functions carried on by the Vol¬unteer Service at Billings Hospitalwhich for the past two years hasserved as extra hands and feet fordoctors and patients.Mrs. Ament, director of the Ser¬vice, yesterday explained the func¬tions of this service which is com¬posed of University women and wivesof faculty members and students whohave pledged themselves to give vol¬untarily a minimum of one-half dayper week to working in the hospital.It has 63 enrolled workers and itsduties have increased so that there isnow a demand for 25 more assist¬ants.Originated by Dr. Ernest Bach-meyer, director of the Clinics, theService now devotes its time to tak¬ing care of admitting office routine,amusing convalescent children, dis¬tributing library books to patients,tutoring, reading aloud and servingas night messengers in the earlyevening. Often they get a chance toparticipate more directly in the workby assisting doctors in making sur¬gical dressings.Women students who volunteer towork in the hospital are providedwith Maroon uniforms. After theyhave worked for 50 hours in the ser¬vice they are entitled to wear a whitecoif or cap. Miss Zahringer, directorof the patients’ library in conjunctionwith which much of the work is done,has found that most of the womimwho once start the work stay with it for at least three or four years andsometimes longer.Speaking of the distribution oflibrary-books and reading materialsto patients. Miss Zahringer said thatthe type of book demanded by pa.tients is often as accurate an iiidica-tion as a fever chart of how the pa¬tient is progressing. Dr. Phemisteronce remarked that he could tell howa patient was feeling by the book atthe side of the bed.Often the volunteers arc facedwith the problem of getting tho pa-tients started to read. Not sostrangely, they have found the Xa-tional Geographic to be the most ef¬fective interest-arouser. After theyonce get the patient started reading,the next step is to attempt to raisethe level of his selection.University women interested injoining the service may do so by call¬ing the Director of Volunteers atBillings Hospital, Midway 0800, orMrs. Carl Bricken, Hyde Park 081.'1.HANLEY’SBUFFET1512 EAST 55th ST.li you want collog* tongi—li you want "Collogioto" Atmoiphereli you want to mo your irionda—-You aro auurod of ouch on oroninq atHANLEY’SOVER FORTY YEARS OF CONGENIALSERVICESTERLINGYOUNGAND HIS ORCHESTRAIN THEIk rtItST CHICAGO AfKARANCENEWMID-WINTER REVUETHREE PRESENTATIONSNIGHTLYBOULEVARDSTEVENS HOTEL ROOMToday on theQuadranglesMEETINGSASU Committee on Race Dis-. rimination.

Comes to Campus; Callsfor Schoen and Her Drama GroupBy ROYAL WALDJohn Q, Public, itinerant muck-raker, and his omnipresent friend,Joe, stepped out of their usual placesin the columns of the Daily NewsAncient Skull-(Continued from page 1)ler of the Peiping Union Medical Col¬lege, who gave it to the Universityon behalf of the College and the Na¬tional Geological Survey of China.Only three casts of this reconstruc¬tion were made, one for the Univer¬sity, one for the American Museum ofNatural History in New York, andone presumably for the RockefellerFoundation, which financed excava¬tion of the cave.“Dr. Weidenreich believes that thePeiping skulls represent an older racethan the Java ‘missing link,’ whichwas once thought to have existed inlate Tertiary times, but now is con¬sidered related to a later period inthe ice age,” Dr. Fay-Cooper Cole,chairman of the department of An¬thropology, stated in announcing thegift. “Anatomical comparisons showthat the Peiping race represents themost primitive type of the humanfamily ever recovered.”Film Series—(Continued from page 1)They are the famed Robert G. Fla¬herty films, “Nanook of the North”and “Moana of the South Seas,”which will be released on March 3 and10 in that order. With them are twovery recent British documentaryfilms, “Night Mail,” about England’spostal service, and “Eastern Valley,”having to do with the Welch co-oper¬ative subsistence plan.Last on this quarter’s series is aspecial all documentary program of1937’s outstanding documentary pic¬tures, “The River,” hailed by criticsas this year’s best, which deals withthe federal government’s MississippiValley flood control projects, will befeatured. “We Live in Two Worlds,”a British film on international com¬munications and their effect on na¬tional isolation; “Children at School,”a picture of England’s famed school |system; and “Today We Live,” show-'ing social service schemes for un¬employed as 'worked out in two of;England’s “depressed areas,” will al-1so be shown on the same bill. • yesterday to come to visit the Chica¬go campus.A delegation met the old fellowanl Joe in the lobby of InternationalHouse. Joe had his pockets full ofhis newspaper’s subscription blanks,but nobody paid any attention to him.They centered their interest on theshabbily-clothed little figure with thefive-cent cigar.No Philosophers for John Q.He waved his hand at the wel-comers and spoke up. “It’s no usetrying to show me around here,” hesaid stubbornly. “I don’t want to seeHutchins and I dont want to hearGideonse talk about birth control.”Joe tried to calm him down. “Now,now,” he pacified. “Take it easy.” Heturned to the group. “Mr. Publiccame to see Miss Schoen’s dramagroup production, ‘Biography’,” hesaid dignifiedly.“Yeah,” John Q. cut in. “WithLil at the helm, it ought to be hot.”The chairman of - the committeehesitated. He had been all set to ex¬plain the policies of Aristotle and St.Thomas. Aquinas and Mayor Kelly,but this made him stop. “Should Itell him?” he asked his associates.Obtains InformationHis committee hesitated. They hadbeen all set to explain the policiesof Adam Smith and Ogden Na.sh andMayor Kelly, but this was a weightyproblem. Should they tell him?Joe was sarcastic because he hadexpected to sell at least five sub¬scriptions. So he said, “Take yourtime,” laying it on thick, so thatthey’d be sure to get his point, “Allwe want to know is when we can seethat play.”The delegation’s chairman sighed.He had come to expect so much fromthis undersized gentleman. It wasJoe, he reflected, who was really thebrains of the combination.“If you really want to know,” hestarted, and went on encouraged byJohn Q.’s vigorous nod, “it’s this Fri¬day and Saturday night, but now,”he went on quickly, half afraid hewould be interrupted, “won’t youplease talk with us about metaphy¬sics?”And John Q., pacified, consented totalk, with Joe and the committee,about the philosophy of Plato andMayor Kelly.PLEDGINGDelta Sigma announces the pledg¬ing of Christine Smith of Johnstown,Pennsylvania. Lettersto the EditorEditor,The Daily Maroon:In the Maroon yesterday a storyappeared concerning the prospectiveanthology of the Poetry club. I, andother members of the club should begrateful to the Maroon for the spacegiven to the discussion of our project.However, several points in the storyyesterday were the result of a mis¬understanding, which as president ofthe club I perhaps am in a favorableposition to correct.The facts about the anthologybriefly are these. The editorial board,of which the membership was an¬nounced yesterday, is still receivingmanuscripts for consideration, andwill continue to receive them untilthe end of next week. Manuscriptsshould be submitted to the Englishoffice in Ingleside hall, or to one ofthe four student members of thecommittee, namely, Stephen Stepan-chev, Eduoard Roditi, Paul Goodman,and C. A. Millspaugh. Mr. Mill-spaugh’s name was inadvertentlyomitted from the list yesterday.Submissions for the anthologyshould include from ten to twentypages of manuscript, preferablytypewritten. The deadline, though setfor Friday of next week, February 11,is not hopelessly rigid. But the ob¬servance of it is highly recommended.Moreover, the editorial board as awhole has not yet begun a seriousconsideration of the manuscripts and. has made no final decision upon anyof the submissions. That work willbegin the first of next week.In view of the fact that the reportof the editorial board must be passedupon by the Poetry club in a regularsession, no determination has beenreached concerning the preface andthe introduction or who will writethem.I am obliged to say, finally, thatthe qualities, irritating or otherwise,of Archibald MacLeish and of RobertFrost, have not been under discussionby the editorial board. In my personaljudgment, which others may share,they are both very distinguishedartists.

Their attemptsat this no longer mere-manly defenseare guided by a genial Scandinavian,Alvar B. Hermanson, of the Hermanschool of fencing, the coach andtrainer of many prize-winning teamsof the University.Hermanson’s view of fencingtraining is easily expressed in hisown words— “Look like a fencer,then act like a fencer.’’ He intendsthis quarter to teach these girlsmost of the one hundred attacks andCLASSIFIED ADSLOST—L*rg«, Pointed, Hnnd Made SilverRins with uncut garnet.
