Tickets for the con¬cert, priced at 50 cents, 75 cents, $1,$1.50, and |2, may be secured fromthe Renaissance Society or at the In¬formation Office.The Renaissance Society office, inWiebolt 206, is open every day, in¬cluding Sunday, from 2 to 6.Modern ComposersProkofieff is one of the leading ex¬ponents of a group of composersknown in popular parlance as “mod¬erns,” a term which he himself dis¬likes. He prefers the term “classic,”defining it as follows: “The classicalcomposer is a madman who writesthings incomprehensible for his gen¬eration. He has discovered some logi¬cal ways which are unknown to theothers and therefore these others can¬not follow him. Only after a cer-tain lapse of years the new rules hehas discovered are understood by thepublic. Now if the composer willwrite only according to the ruleswhich have been established beforehim, he will be a pupil and not amaster and he has no chance to berecognize<l as a classic by the nextgeneration.”Meets New NeedsSince the Soviet revolution, themusical situation in Prokofieff’s na¬tive Russia has altered considerably,the concert halls being filled withth<‘ masses of people who are musi¬cally unsophisticated. In order tomeet the demands of this public, towhom the major classical works wereincomprehensible, Prokofieff devel¬oped a type of music which was sim¬ple, and yet which served to furtherthe progress of his own artistic ex¬pression..Among Prokofieff’s compositionsare “L’.Amour des Trois Oranges,”an opera written in 1919 for the Chi¬cago Opera Company; the “Sympho¬nic Classique”; ballets; concertos forjtiano and orche.stra; violin concertos;ami numerous other works.Yearbook AnnouncesDeadline for PicturesSeniors were reminded again yes¬terday that the deadline for picturesfor Cap and Gown is this Saturday.Those who have failed to make theirappointment should do so immediate¬ly, since next week the photographerwill be taking group pictures only.Only three days remain in which theclass of ’.38 will have the opportunityto place their permanent autographin the publication.

Nitze, head of the De¬partment of Romance I.,anguages andLiterature, begins a series of lectureson Medieval Romance, Modern Poetryand Music at the Art Institute, Feb¬ruary 15. The lectures, to be pre-.sented with slides taken from medie¬val manuscripts and tapestries, willtrace the theme of motif found inIrish or French medieval romancesthrough to modern poetry. This pub¬lic lecture series is given under theauspices of the University College.In dealing with the tales of KingArthur and the Knights of the RoundTable, Nitze plans to explain theiruse in the poetry of such poets asTennyson, Robinson, T. S. Eliot,and Swinburn, and show what be¬comes of the medieval theme whenu.sed in modern poetry, and even insome cases, its function in connectionwith historical characters.Titles for the lectures are: Febru¬ary 15 “Avalon and the Passing ofArthur,” February 22, “Tristan andthe Love Death Motif”, March 1,“Lancelot, the Courtly Lover”, March8, “Percival and Good Friday Confes¬sion”, March 15, “The Waste Landand the Mystery of the Grail.”Simons Advocates Revision in Taxation“Taxation is the proper means formitigating inequality ... I wouldsuggest . . . that progressive taxationis the only sound and promisingmethod which has seriously been pro¬posed ...” asserts Henry C. Si¬mons, assistant professor of Econom-i(:s, in the introduction to his newbook, “Personal Income Taxation,”released Monday by the Universityof Chicago Press.Nine Point ProgramSimons’ nine-point program for re¬vision of the present income tax set¬up includes proposals for increasingthe rates of tax in the lower brackets,reducing the joint exemption formarried persons to $2,000, and elimin¬ating entirely the exemption of re¬ceipts by kind, especially of intereston governmental obligations.Admitting that his plan of personal taxation could not be carried out bythe individual states, Simons urgesthe use of the broad jurisdictionalpowers of the federal government foradministration and enforcement.“This,” he declares, “would not in¬volve federal centralization if properprecautionary measures were taken.”Personal TaxationThe only promising solution to theproblem which arises because of thefact that the kind of levies whichrepresent the proper contributions ofthe state and local bodies to our totalsystem of taxes are inadequate totheir expenditure responsibilities, liesin a sharing of federal revenues frompersonal taxes within the states, ac¬cording to Simons. Every state wouldreceive an equal fraction of therevenues collected from its taxpay¬ers, if this scheme were adopted. The program for the Alec Temple¬ton concert Sunday afternoon willconsist of two parts: the first half,straight classical numbers; and thesecond half, improvisations and otherof Templeton’s compositions.

It also approved a change inthe requirements for the Master’s de¬gree in Education and approved ac¬tions of the faculties of the Biologi¬cal and Physical Science divisionswhich will make the Bachelor’s com¬prehensive an .optional requirementfor the Bachelor’s deg;ree.Action on DegreesThe action on the Biological Sci¬ence divisional Master’s degree is anattempt to overcome the inadequaciesof the present teacher training pro¬gram. Some time ago a survey wasconducted of the number of highschool teachers giving instruction inthe specialized fields of Botany, Zo¬ology, Physiology, etc. It was foundthat the number of these specializedcourses was diminishing and theschools instead were giving coursesin the general field of Biologfy. Foran instructor to teach such generalsubjects well, he must have a broad¬er, more intensive training. It is as¬sumed that ultimately some form ofprogH'am will be worked out to givesimilar benefits to teachers on thecollege level, but as one member ofthe Senate pointed out, it is neces¬sary to go one step at a time.The change in the requirementsfor the Master’s degree in Educationis also a move to make the coursemore attractive to school administra¬tors, supervisors, and teachers. Aformal dissertation will no longer bea requirement for the degree. Thedepartment has substituted for thisthe requirement of another courseand an essay by the student on someproblem approved by the department.President Hutchins commented onthe changes: “The legislation consti¬tutes a significant development in theChicago Plan.”Changes in RequirementsAlthough the changes in thebachelor’s requirements in the twodivisions were djawn up separatelyby the two facultiesi and are notyet synchronized in terminology, theessential idea of both is the same.The program will make the bach¬elor’s comprehensive optional for thestudent in these divisions (in the(Continued on page 3)Price Leads ASUCurrent Event GroupErnest B.

It has final say in mat¬ters of University curriculum. The fact thatthe men who compose it are almost whollyresearch experts who know a vast deal abouta very little, and spend as little time in teach¬ing as they dare, does not hinder the Senatefrom deciding on University curriculum with acarefree hand.The meefting last Saturday is a case inpoint. The professors voted to accept the rec¬ommendation of two divisions of the naturalsciences to make the Bachelor’s examinationoptional. After all, the men of the divisions nodoubt know best.But do they know best? Is the system ofcomprehensive examinations a failure? It mayvery well be that although the students do notlike them—who likes to have to remember whathe has learned?—that they are the best pos¬sible check on achievement and, incidentally,on teaching. SWEETNESS AND LIGHTBy LILLIAN SCHOENThoughts by Kay Meyer’s TypewriterSpring is in the air; the pre-comprehtensive rain-season has begun. There are no lambs gambolling aboutthe campus yet, but our squirrels make a brave effortat Arcadian fun, now that they are no longer con¬fronted daily with the depressing sight of squirrelcoats.The only tenable objection to the presentsystem is that it does not give the students asgood an education as the old system of coursecredit did. Some students, it may well be, can¬not govern themselves sufficiently to work withonly the distant stimulus of a comprehensiveexamination. But are these the students forwhom University policy should be shaped? Isthe lowest intelligence that to which teachingmethods should be leveled? Yet this seems tobe what the adoption of a course credit sys¬tem implies. Any decent student works forthe sake of knowledge of the subject, not topass exams. If a student cannot rememberwhat he has been taught for two years, ofwhat good is his education?On the other hand, the advantages of thecomprehensive examinations are numerous.First of all they constitute an adequate checkon the performance of the professor as a teach¬er. Under the course credit system, a profes¬sor can set his own standards, can pass at anylevel of achievement he chooses. There is nodevice for securing approximate uniformity ofstandards, even if the professors cared abouttheir teaching.Again, personal considerations in awardinggrades are eliminated. Anyone who has seena professor mark papers on the ordinary courseexamination, knows what a haphazard affairit is, and how heavily the general impressionthe professor has of the student weighs. Yetgeneral impressions notoriously rest on manyfactors beside intellectual achievement—meretalkativeness for instance.Again the Board of Examiners provides ameans for systematic improvement of examin¬ations, a possibility ruled out by the casuallyprepared questions of the individual professordrawn up the night before. Still, as we said before, spring is in the air. In aprophetic mood, we feel like announcing a few of themost likely events of the coming season... There willbe leaves on the trees and comprehensives... Therewill be angry letters to the Maroon protesting againstthe personal touch in this column whenever we getmoral and try to chasten someone. Mr. Hutchins cantake it why can’t you? There will be complaints whenwe mention someone and more complaints when wedon’t... There will be Anti-Fascist protest meetingsand grave political events for them to discuss. Andthere will be the usual scattering of intelligent re¬marks about Aristotle...Apropos of the last named gentleman, Mr. Bor-gese recently remarked in his class that Aristotle’suniversal genius failed him in one respect: he neverforesaw that he would end his long post-humous careeron the shores of Lake Michigan. Mr. Borgese is alsothe gentleman who, with great insight, remarked,“Thank God Dante was not a Dante scholar.’’The first spring-like day has made Bill McNeillmorose, it has also extracted from him the story ofhow he almost had his first auto accident. It was ona cold, dark night and Willy was skimming along inthe family four wheeler when suddenly our Bill foundhimself and car plowing through a large coal pile.He stopped, got out, surveyed the mess of coal all overthe street, climbed back in and continued on in his dourScotch fashion. He insists it was almost an accidentfor, “Just think if the coal had been of a greater con¬sistency,’’ says he. We’ll let the Psi U’s contemplatethe pleasantries involved in this highly theoretical case.This is the second tim.e the McNeill family conveyancealmost rid the campus of what Dean Henry GordonGale considers a dangerous character. The first timewas when the darn thing stalled on 59th street exactlyhalf way across Woodlawn ave. at six o’clock in theevening.The long shadow of erudition falls upon UniversityHigh School in these days. One of our graduate edu¬cation students is learning the ways of life from ob¬servations on U. High students. A pupil was asked inan English class to define “undulate’’ (with an eye tobuilding a vocabulary fit to cope with St. Thomas—maybe). The child thought long, writhed uncomfort¬ably, finally blurted out, “I can give a Gestalt defini¬tion.’’ “Very well,’’ replied our friend, a bit breath¬lessly, “give a Gestalt definition.” “Spaghetti,” gaspedthe young one.What if the majority of the students wantcourse credits again? The easiest way is al¬ways most attractive, but it is seldom the bestway to an education. The Senate seeminglyforgot this at its meeting Saturday.Vol. 38 FEBRUARY 9, 1938 No. 66(El|e ^atlg (^aruonFOUNDED IN 1901Member Associated Collegiate PressThe Daily Maroon is the official student newspaper of the Uni¬versity of Chicago, published mornings except Saturday, Sunday,and Monday during the Autumn, Winter, and Spring quarters byThe Daily Maroon Company, 6831 University avenue.

They plan the programs,determine the policies, direct theactivities. In addition, the Y spon¬sors “interest” groups, each devotedto a different phase of activity suchas drama, music, and settlement work.These are the mediums through whichthe open membership participates.Other typical quarter’s programs in¬clude meetings, chapel services, din¬ners, association meetings.But even though more successfulin keeping to the fore than manyother campus activities, the Y is notfree from problems. First there is thequestion of religious emphasis. Ymembers are now asking themselves-“Should we emphasize to greaterextent the religious phase of Y work,or is the ‘new seriousness’ beingadequately served by Chapel Union?”Then too, like the WAA, there is thepossible stigma connected with thename of YWCA itself which must beovercome. For the University Ybranch does not ally itself with anyparticular creed or dogma, strivesrather to stress religion in generalrather than a religion. Neither doesit desire to be the ally of priggish¬ness or prudishness with which theorganization is sometimes associated.The problems are thus vague, the.•solution not a matter of resolutions orovernight transformation.

Tickets for the con¬cert. priced at 50 cents, 75 cents, $1,Sl.riO, and $2, may be secureel fromthe Renaissance Society or at the In¬formation Office.Th- Renaissance Society office, inWiebolt 205, is open every day, in¬cluding Sunday, from 2 to 5.MtKlern ComposersProkofieff is one of the leading ex¬ponents of a group of composersknown in popular parlance as “mod¬erns." a term which he himself dis-like>. lie i)refers the term “classic,”defining it as follows: “The classicalcomposer is a madman who writesthings incomprehensible for his gen¬eration. He has discovered some logi¬cal ways which are unknown to theothers and therefore these others can¬not follow him. Only after a cer¬tain lai)se of years the new rules hehas discovered are understood by thepublic. Now’ if the composer willwrite only according to the ruleswhich have been established beforehim, he will be a pupil and not amaster and he has no chance to berecognized as a classic by the nextgeneration.”■Meets New Needs.Since the Soviet revolution, themusical situation in Prokofieff’s na¬tive Russia has altered considerably,the concert halls being filled withthe nias.ses of people who are musi¬cally unsophisticated. In order tomeet the demands of this public, towhom the major classical works wereincomprehensible, Prokofieff devel¬oped a type of music which was sim¬ple, and yet which served to furtherthe progress of his own artistic ex-pre.ssion..4mong Prokofieff’s compositionsare “1.’Amour des Trois Oranges,”an opera written in 1919 for the Chi¬cago Opera Company; the “Sympho¬nic Classique”; ballets; concertos forpiano and orchestra; violin concertos;and numerous other w’orks.

By BUI) HERSCHELGradually, since the inaugurationof the New Plan in 1931, a series ofNew Plan textbooks has appearedthat are expressly written by mem¬bers of the University faculty forthe Biological and Physical ScienceSurvey Courses introduced under theNew Plan. Advertised by the Uni¬versity of Chicago Press as the textsthat students will WANT to read,and recognizable from a di.stance fortheir modern design, the.se books havegained w’ide notice for themselvesand the New’ Plan itself. Figures re¬leased by the Press show that New’Plan texts have now been adopted bymore than two hundred colleges anduniversities, and are used as collat¬eral reading in many other schools.Galileo to Cosmic RaysThe most popular New’ Plan textis Lemon’s “From Galileo to CosmicRays,” which has been adopted by140 colleges and universities, includ¬ing 12 state universities and Stan¬ford. “Exploring in Physics,” a cor¬ollary to Lemon’s book by Stephen¬son, comes next in number of adop¬tion.'^, being in u.'^e at 70 colleges anduniversities. “Down to Earth,” byCroneis and Krumbein, has had 00adoptions. Bartky’s “Highlights ofAstronomy,” voted one of the mosthandsome texts of 1935, is in use at40 institutions of higher learning,and Logsdon’s “A Mathematician Ex¬plains” is in use at 31.In the Bi-^l igical Sciences, “TheMachinery of the Body” by Carlsonand Johnson has been adojited by 40colleges and univei’sities, although itapjieared too late for use this fall.Romer’s “Man and the Vertebrates,”first of the New Plan texts, has ha<lover 40 adoptions.

After thelecture, he will answer que.stions. Sothat students will not be madetongue-tied by presenting their prob¬lems in front of an audience, theymay write questions.Organizations officially repre.sentedare Chapel Union, YWCA, ASU, In¬terchurch Council, Ida Noyes Coun¬cil, Inter-Club Council, and the Jew’-ish Students Foundation.Evanston’s Northwestern Univer¬sity offers a course of lectures onmarriage under the general heading“Aspects of Marriage and Parent¬hood”. The series at the Universitywill follow the same general patternin covering aspects of marriageranging from economic to psycholog¬ical problems. j In a significant meeting last Sat¬urday, the University Senate ap¬proved several important admini.stra-tive changes in the requirements forthe Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees.Following the lead of an actiontaken approximately a year ago inthe division of the Social Sciences,tlie Senate approved a rough draftof a program for the Master’s degreein the Biological Sciences on a divi¬sional rather than a departmentalbasis. It a’so approved a change inthe requirements for the Master’s de¬gree in Education and approved ac¬tions of the faculties of the Biologi-; cal and Physical Science divisionsi which will make the Bachelor’s com¬prehensive an optional requirementfor the Bachelor’s degree.Action on DegreesThe action on the Biological Sci¬ence divisional Master’s degree is anattempt to overcome the inadequaciesof the pre.sent teacher training pro¬gram. Some time ago a survey wasconducted of the number of highschool teachers giving instruction inI the specialized fields of Botany, Zo¬ology, Physiology, etc. It was foundI that the number of these specializedi courses was diminishing and the! schools instead were giving coursesI in the general field of Biology. Foran instructor to teach such generalsubjects well, he must have a broad¬er, more intensive training. It is as¬sumed that ultimately some form ofprogram will be worked out to givesimilar benefits to teachers on thecollege level, but as one member ofthe Senate pointed out, it is neces¬sary to go one step at a time.The change in the requirementsfor the Master’s degree in Educationis also a move to make the coursemore attractive to school administra¬tors, supervisors, and teachers. Aformal dis.sertation will no longer bea requirement for the degree. Thedepartment has substituted for thisthe requirement of anot.her courseand an essay by the student on someproblem apjiroved by the department.President Hutchins commented onthe changes: “The legislation consti¬tutes a significant development in theChicago Plan.”Changes in RequirementsAlthough the changes in thebachelor’s requirements in the twodivisions were djaw’n up .'separatelyby the two facultie.s and are notyet synchronized in terminology, theessential idea of both is the same.The program w’ill make the bach¬elor’s comprehensive optional for thestudent in these divisions (in the(Continued on page 3)Price Leads ASUCurrent Event GroupErnest B.

Gilson, assistant professorof Economics, led the discussion oncompany unions.Complete Remodeling of Gcodspeed(Continued on page 2) Renovation of Goodspeed hall froma Divinity School dormitory to thenew home of the Art department isnow complete. The building housesthe University Art Reference Library,which has been founded by Max andLeola Epstein, who also made possiblethe remodeling of the building. Theyalso are providing for the mainten¬ance of the building over a period ofyears and for the strengthening ofthe Art department faculty.Epstein, member of the Board ofTrustees, is providing some 200,000reproductions of paintings and draw¬ings, duplicating the famous collec¬tion of Sir Robert Witt of London,which is the world’s most notable art reference collection. Reproductionsare now being classified and filed intheir proper folders.Reference LibraryThe refei’ence library occupies theupper floors of the building. Fourdoors of library stacks, constructed toaccommodate the reproductions thelibrary is to contain, take up thenorth half of the building from thethird floor to the attic.Because there is no large auditor¬ium, Dr. John Shapley has explainedthat large classes will continue tomeet in Classics, and the top floor ofthe Temporary Art building acrossthe Midway will continue to houseseveral drawing classes.Page Two THE DAILY MAROON, WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 9, 1938The Senate ConsidersThe University Senate is an august bodyof stodgy professors. It has final say in mat¬ters of University curriculum. The fact thatthe men who compose it are almost whollyresearch experts who know a vast deal abouta very little, and spend as little time in teach¬ing as they dare, does not hinder the Senatefrom deciding on University curriculum with acarefree hand.The meejting last Saturday is a case inpoint. The professors voted to accept the rec¬ommendation of two divisions of the naturalsciences to make the Bachelor’s examinationoptional. After all. the men of the divisions nodoubt know best.But do they know best? Is the system ofcomprehensive examinations a failure? It mayvery well be that although the students do notlike them—who likes to have to remember whathe has learned?—that they are the best pos¬sible check on achievement and. incidentally,on teaching.The only tenable objection to the presentsystem is that it does not give the students asgood an education as the old system of coursecredit did. Some students, it may well be, can¬not govern themselves sufficiently to work withonly the distant stimulus of a comprehensiveexamination. But are these the students forwhom University policy should be shaped? Isthe lowest intelligence that to which teachingmethods should be leveled? Yet this seems tobe what the adoption of a course credit sys¬tem implies. Any decent student works forthe sake of knowledge of the subject, not topass exams. If a student cannot rememberwhat he has been taught for two years, ofwhat good is his education?On the other hand, the advantages of thecomprehensive examinations are numerous.First of all they constitute an adequate checkon the performance of the professor as a teach¬er. Under the course credit system, a profes¬sor can set his own standards, can pass at anylevel of achievement he chooses. There is nodevice for securing approximate uniformity ofstandards, even if the professors cared abouttheir teaching.Again, personal considerations in awardinggrades are eliminated. Anyone who has seena professor mark papers on the ordinary courseexamination, knows what a haphazard affairit is. and how heavily the general impressionthe professor has of the student weighs. Yetgeneral impressions notoriously rest on manyfactors beside intellectual achievement—meretalkativeness for instance.Again the Board of Examiners provides ameans for systematic improvement of examin¬ations, a possibility ruled out by the casuallyprepared questions of the individual professordrawn up the night before.What if the majority of the students wantcourse credits again? The easiest way is al¬ways most attractive, but it is seldom the bestway to an education. The Senate seeminglyfoi’got this at its meeting Saturday.

There are no lambs gambolling aboutthe campus yet, but our squirrels make a brave effortat Arcadian fun, now that they are no longer con¬fronted daily with the depressing sight of squirrelcoats.Still, as we said before, spring is in the air. In a{irophetic mood, we feel like announcing a few of themost likely events of the coming season. . .There willbe leaves on the trees and coniprehensives... Therewill be angry letters to the Maroon protesting againstthe personal touch in this column whenever we getmoral and try to chasten someone. Mr. Hutchins cantake it why can’t you’.’ There will be complaints whenwe mention someone and more complaints when wodon’t. . .There will be Anti-Fascist protest meetingsand grave jiolitical events for them to discuss. .Andthere will be the usual scattering of intelligent re¬marks about .Aristotle. . .Apropos of the last nanie<l gentleman, Mr. Bor-gese recently remarketl in his class that Aristotle’suniversal genius failed him in one respect: he neverforesaw that he would end his long post-humous careeron the shores of Lake Michigan. Mr. Borge.se is alsothe gentleman who, with great insight, remarked,“Thank God Dante was not a Dante scholar.”The first spring-like day has made Bill McNeillmorose, it has aDo extracted from him the story ofhow he almost had his first auto accident. It was ona cold, dark night and Willy was skimming along inthe family four wheeler when suddenly our Bill foundhimself and car plowing through a largo coal jiile.He stopped, got out, surveyed the mess of coal all overthe street, climbed back in and continued on in hi.s dourScotch fashion. He insists it was almost an accidentfor, “Just think if the coal had been of a greater con¬sistency,” says he. We’ll let the Psi U’s contemplatethe pleasantries involved in this highly theoretical case.This is the second time the McNeill family conveyancealmost rid the campus of what Dean Henry GordonGale considers a dangerous character. The first timewas when the darn thing stalled on 59th street exactlyhalf way across Woodlawn ave. at six o’clock in theevening.The long .shadow of erudition falls upon UniversityHigh School in these days. One of our graduate edu¬cation students i.s learning the ways of life from ob-.servations on U. High students. A pupil was asked inan English class to define “undulate” (with an eye tobuilding a vocabulary fit to cope with St. Thomas—maybe). The child thought long, writhed uncomfort¬ably, finally blurted out, “I can give a Gestalt defini¬tion.” “Very well,” replied our friend, a hit breath¬lessly, “give a Gestalt definition.” “Spaghetti,” gaspedthe young one.People react in strange ways to these days whenSpring is half-way between a premonition and a smirk.Ned Fritz gets a bit surly—but is almost friendly tous. Should mean something. . .Milton Mayer, one ofvice-president Renton’s assistants, recites “The Faceon the Bar-room Floor” into the dictaphone of JohnHowe, and then, very proud of himself, calls up Mr.Hutchins to tell him about it. Spring also comes tothe President’s office, so Mr. Hutchins replie.s, “That’snothing, I just sang Hark, Hark the Angels into uu/dictaphone”. ..Patty Quisenberry drinks beer and eatsfried potatoes in the afternoon.. .And Ned Rosenheimemerges with the insignia of the U.S.A.

We want toadd a little old-fashioned comedy relief. So this squibwill be about Professor Rowland.He is unique among educators. His good humoris almost infallible, and even when the most inanemistake is made by the most unendurable student, Mr.Rowland maintains his dignity. Perhaps his dignityis somewhat impaired by the rapidly develojiing waist¬line that detracts from his sartorial splendor.
