Less than a weekago, together with the Pacifists, Iso¬lationists, and Socialists LSI, theysplit because they felt they would berepudiating their party’s principlesby accepting the compromise meas¬ures offered by the majority.This time, which bids to be final asthe Strike is scheduled for Wednes¬day, the 4th International withdrewalone when the entire Greater Com¬mittee objected to their disobeying thespecific agreement “that no memberorganization may attack the Call is¬sued by the entire strike committeeitself.”Cau.se of yesterday’s separation wasa pamphlet distributed by the Trot¬skyites Friday objecting to the com¬mittee and the Peace Call. SocialistsLSI, Pacifists, and Isolationists, how¬ever, remained unified with the col¬lective security majority, requestingthat it be emphasized that this latestdevelopment did not involve them.Conway Makes StatementTo stress the fact that this split isnot another dispute between advocatesof collective security and pacifist-neutralites. Jack Conway, chairman ofthe Greater Strike Committee, issuesthe following statement: “The splitresulted from Trotskyites violationof the democratic procedure uponwhich the committee has been func¬tioning. No organization has been re¬fused the right to issue educationalpropaganda pertaining to its peaceprogram. It was understood, however,by every organization of the GreaterCommittee that this material was notto attack the committee itself, theStrike Call, or the Strike’s generalpolicy. To me it seems strange thata faction can profess cooperationwith a program and yet drag that4)rogram into the mud at every pos¬sible chance.“Again, it should be understood,”reiterated Conway, “that the GreaterStrike Committee did not want to ex¬pel the Trotskyites.

Stagg, Gale ActIn Friars Showof Gag Nineties“The costuming,” we are told in anearly Friars program, “was man¬aged by the mothers, sisters, and‘best girls,’ who combined to providethe necessary feminine apparel, andto explain the technicalities involved.”It was in attire provided by suchlittle white hands that Universitymen trod the boards in 1898 to pre¬sent “The Deceitful Dean,” first ofthe men’s musicals.Organized by Professor C. H. Vin¬cent to raise funds for the Univer¬sity settlement, the production hadsuch men as A. A. Stagg and HenryGordon Gale in its cast, and was pre-.sented with homemade scenery in theUniversity gymnasium. In 1902, togather more money for the settle¬ment, the “Academic Alchemist” wasstaged.Made Permanent in 1904Deciding to make the organizationpermanent in 1904 Frank R. Adams,the first Abbot, organized studentsunder the name of “Blackfriars.”“From that time, with the exceptionof the war year of 1918, the Friarshave presented a show every year.”During the prosperous years of the1920-1930 decade the Friars shows,graduated from the impromptu home¬made productions to professionallystaged, lighted and costumed shows.Big colorful extravaganzas were therule.Since 1930 and the depression the!tendency has been toward all-studentproductions, and Friars have takenover most of the technical work ofthe show.This year, with 34 years of experi¬ence behind them the Friars on May6, 7, 12, 13, and 14 will present“Where in the World” a story of hi-jinks in medieval England.Dance Group AppearsWith Orchestra FridayAccompanied by a small orchestra,Marian Van Tuyl’s University DanceGroup will present three “Counter¬points” by Honegger at the Sym¬phony Orchestra’s concert in Mandelhall Friday evening.

The commi^ee will meet at30 Friday in the Maroon office. The(solutions of the Congress, the sec-id group of which will be printed inimorrow’s Maroon, have been pre-(nted to the Administration.Best attended session of the Con¬ gress was the Hutchins-Melby debateFriday night. The 1400 there morethan filled Mandel Hall. Profits ofabout $350, left after printing ex¬penses for the Congress have beenpaid, will be used by the Senior Classfor an as yet undecided gift. Nextmost popular was the opening meet¬ing, at which Harry D. Gideonsespoke, about 220 delegates being pres¬ent. The resolutions sessions April 15and 22 drew respectively about 100and 50, while average attendance atthe seminars was about 25. Thirty-sixorganizations sent delegates to theCongress, the rest coming on individ¬ual petitions.Under the sponsorship of the Sen¬ior Class, the Congress is- the firstorganized attempt, as stated by Wil¬liam McNeill, editor of the Maroon,in introducing the debaters Fridaynight, to make student opinion articu¬late. Problems of interest to studentswere considered by the Congress. In a debate before a house thatsold out five hours before the open¬ing of the debate. President RobertMaynard Hutchins and Dean Ernest0. Melby of the Northwestern Schoolof Education, in the concluding ses¬sion of the Campus Congress, arguedthe merits of science in setting acourse for men to follow. Openingthe debate. President Hutchins statedthat the improvement of society whichshould result from education can beachieved by developing in universitiessocial consciousness and social con¬science.Education in history and philoso¬phy and their methods and straightthinking based on factual knowledgeand the application of critical stand¬ards are the bases for social action.Asking why the philosophy he up¬holds is not considered socially pro¬gressive, Hutchins listed four cults—skepticism, presentism, scientism, andanti-intellectualism—which are thekeystones of the modern educational,climate.Skepticism Causes ReactionThe cult of skepticism, he said,avers that nothing is valid outside ofnatural sciences. Philosophy is a su¬perstition and therefore hinders prog¬ress. In reply to this, Hutchinsthinks, it should be pointed out thatnot only reaction but the use offorce are derived from skepticism.The second cult, that of immediacyor presentism, stresses immediate dif¬ficulties, thinking that the past of¬fers nothing with which id help usin our struggles. The answer to thisis that all situations have their rootsin the past; a study of historyshould prevent us from repeating pastmistakes.Scientism, the third fetish, is amisconception of the role of scienceheld by few scientists. The adher¬ents of scientism state that only sci¬ence is progressive because it aloneis tentative, corresponding to actualsituations. Hutchins believes thatscience can very well be the means ofachieving our destination, but it isincapable of telling us which ends tochoose.Finally, the cult of anti-intellect¬ualism, the most dangerous because itis the doctrine of men of good will,and of Hitler, is the result of a senti¬mentalist and irrational desire forthe improvement of one’s fellow man.The sentimentalist distrusts the useof the intellect because it might show(Continued on page 3)Two EuropeanSocial ScientistsTalk This WeekDiscussing “The ComparativeMethod in Social Sciences and theTheory of Social Development,” Mor¬ris Ginsberg, Martin White Profes¬sor of Sociology in the University ofLondon, will deliver a lecture at 2:30today in Social Science 122.

Frank J. Miller,Latin Professor,Dies at NorwalkDr. Frank Justus Miller, ProfessorEmeritus of Latin, died Sunday at aNorwalk, Conn, hospital of heart dis¬ease. Dr. Miller, appointed an in¬structor in 1892, was one of the ori¬ginal members of the University fac¬ulty.He was born November 26, 1858, atClinton, Tenn. He received the Bach¬elor’s degree from Dennison in 1879,the A. M. in 1882, and the Ph. D.from Yale in 1892. He attained therank of professor at the Universityof Chicago in 1909. Dr. Miller editedthe Classical Journal from 1908 to1928. The Latin inscription placedon Vergil’s tomb at the bimilleniaryof the poet’s death was composed byhim.Among other appointments, he wasAssistant Examiner, 1892-96; Ex¬aminer of Affiliations, 1896-98; Deanof Affiliations, 1898-1904; Examinerfor Secondary Schools, 1904. He re¬tired July 1, 1925, but continuedteaching at various universities, in¬cluding Iowa and Missouri, for sev¬eral years.Dr. Miller w'as widely and affec¬tionately known among the earliergenerations of students because ofhis warm interest in them. He wasa popular figure at alumni reunionsand continued his contacts with thealumni after his retirement. Noted Logician to Be Visit-ing Professor DuringNext Year.Gideonse’s Dog HelpsAdvertise Peace BallDenied the official sanction of theDean’s office, the ASU Peace Ballcommittee must rely on unusualmethods of publicity. Harry D. Gid¬eonse himself, unconsciously, of course,served as advertising, for an ASUmember seized his huge police dog,attached a Peace Ball poster to him,and enticed him over campus walkswith a chocolate ice-cream cone. Onthe back of Hy Jacobson’s wheel-chairanother poster was tied, and as Ja¬cobson’s conveyance is obvious oncampus, it served its purpose well.Because the Ball is slated for Wed¬nesday, a week night, and because itis under the joint sponsorship ofNorthwestern, Lewis Institute, Cen¬tral Y College, and the University,Dean George A. Works w’ould notpermit the University’s bulletinboards to be used. But no regulationsagainst personal contact or wearingpublicity can be enforced, so ASUmembers who can’t obtain dogs anddon’t possess wheel-chairs are dis¬playing rectangular yellow tags an¬nouncing that “I am going to thePeace Ball.”Boasting Roy Eldridge, the trum¬pet-playing Negro orchestra leader ofThree Deuces fame, and his orches¬tra, the Ball aims to maintain a con¬tinuous, enthusiastic Strike-fof Peacefervor, Wednesday.

Charles H. Beeson profes¬sor emeritps of Latin, is president. With the announcement that Bert¬rand Russell, renowned English writ¬er, and Werner W. Jaeger, professorof Greek, have accepted appointmentsas visiting professor and professor,respectively, of Philosophy, PresidentRobert Maynard Hutchins revealedtwo important additions to the De¬partment of Philosophy yesterday.The appointment of Russell, distin¬guished for his work in logic andmathematics as well as for his stud¬ies of social and political problems,makes the group of University logi¬cians which includes Rudolph Carnapand Morris Cohen one of the strong¬est in the world today. Jaeger, whocame here from the University ofBerlin in 1936, is generally consideredone of the world’s leading classicalscholars.Professor Russell, the Englishlogician is known for freeing logicalanalysis from the domination ofordinary grammar. Interested inmathematics and logic since his earlyteens, he began one of his most signi¬ficant works, “The Principia Mathe-matica,” with Alfred Noyes White-head in 1910. With the exception ofh i s first book, “German SocialDemocracy,” his other writings of theearly period are concerned primarilywith philosophy and mathematics.These are considered by many hismost promising works.Jolted by WarWhen the world war came, Russellwas jolted from his abstract pursuits.Because of his opposition to conscrip¬tion, he was deprived of his lecture¬ship at Trinity College, Cambridge,fined and later, imprisoned for viola¬ting the Defense of the Realm Act.During the war. Harvard offered hima position, but as the British govern¬ment denied him a passport, he wasunable to accept.After the war, Russell traveledthrough Asia and Soviet Russia, ob¬serving forms of political and sci¬entific philosophies prevailing there.Since then much of his writing hasbeen in the field of the social sciences,(Continued on page 3)Use Transcriptsof Roundtablein Labor StrikeThe University Roundtable broad¬casts are helping to settle an indus¬trial strike in a Stephens Point, Wis¬consin, furniture factory, accordingto Don Morris of the University Pub¬licity Office.The management of the factory, inorder to teach the striking employeesethics and manners has sent for tran¬scripts of the recent discussion on“Trade Unionism and Monopoly.”They propose to read the transcriptto the rebellious employees in thehope of regaining industrial peace.Special Radio SeriesThe University Broadcasting Coun¬cil is also presenting a special seriesof broadcasts by members of the fac¬ulties of the Divinity School and theof Chicago Theological Seminary.

Abolition ol intercollegiate athletics.3. Progressive politics.4. Revision of the College Plan.5. A chastened presidentMore PeaceThe Trotskyites have left the Peace Strike again,due to some unkind remarks made about their violationof a gentleman’s agreement which they did not remem¬ber having entered into. It is a grand merry-go-round.Three years ago Bud Ogren, Trotskyite stalwart, ledthe strike, and members of the public policy associa¬tion, under the enlightened headship of Hulen Carrollthrew eggs of questionable ancestry. It is not too greata stretch of the imagination to see Bud Ogren in theegg throwing role for the strike tomorrow, if one con¬siders the love between the members of the rival rad¬ical groups.For the Strike itself, the defection of the 'Trotsky-ites is probably no loss, since the incompatibility oftheir stand for immediate social revolution with all theother peace groups is too great to make cooperationcomfortable. The retirement of the most intractableportions of the anti-collective security bloc from thestrike will probably consolidate the hold of the major¬ity on the remaining dissidents, the socialists and paci¬fists. The fact that the terms of the agreement whichhas led to the rupture with the Trotskyites becausethey refused to compromise their program, is equallyfoolish for the other two groups—how can they presenttheir “positive” program without attacking the call?—will hardly keep them from working together, since theminority is too weak to put on a rival strike, and couldnot bear the loss of prestige inactivity would involve.Caterwauling or Construction?The Campus Congress is over and done with. Someof the panel discussions were good fun for the partici¬pants, but many were dreary, dull and confused. Somewere well attended, but many were marked by an over¬whelming number of shiny chair backs, fresh from thejanitor’s hand. Some students, withal, were moved toexpress themselves about the University, but almostwithout exception they were the students who had al¬ready expressed themselves loud and long upon thosethings in general already, even though the Universityhad escaped their attention heretofore.What has it all accomplished? The cynic says,with Louis Wirth and ’diss Gilson, that a lot of wordshave been wasted. The enthusiast can see the startof a gjeat tradition of effective etudent cooperationin shaping the future of the University. Which it isdepends on the activity of the Continuations Com¬mittee.The Committee comprises most of the white hairedboys of activities in the junior and sophomore class¬es. It may become the most important undergraduateorganization of the campus during next year. Actuallyit is extremely likely to lapse into inactivity after afew gestures. If even a few of the Committee turn outto be enthusiasts for the ideas of student participationin the University, the Congress, despite its disappoint¬ing aspects, may prove the most significant studentundertaking of the year. If the Committee turns outto be merely a group of persons looking for one morecampus honor, the Congress will have been a realfailure.Letters to theEditorEditor,Daily Maroon:I met you last week over at theCampus Congress during the discus¬sion on Athletics. Remember what funyou had with the Coach and that fel¬low Berwanger? Well, I was the onewho put in a word edgewise for you.I thought you might be interestedin what U. of C. has meant to me.We might call it—The U. of C.—A Big Fraud?I dreamed of attending the Univer¬sity of Chicago long before I finishedhigh school. And even after finishinghigh school, four long years of workand study was necessary before Icould do more than attempt to regis¬ter at the University . . . But, finallylast fall I did. And now that I’m inmy third quarter. I’m beginning towonder where is the U. of C. that Iused to anticipate so anxiously. Sure¬ly, it can’t be the schpol that is on theMidway, now?Oh, there’s no doubt that the schol¬astic standards and facilities areamong the best. But are those thingsby themselves “education”? I thoughtthat U. of C. would not only havethese things, but also the other fac¬tors which go to make up an institu¬tion interested in real education.In particular was I sure that U. ofC. would have a student body whichwould stand head and shoulders aboveany other university student body inthis country—students who would beeager to learn of the world today be¬cause they believe that the world to¬day could be a lot better place inwhich to live.But not the students of U. of C.! Atleast, not most of them. They seemto be divided into those who think GUYSand= GALSBy DONNA CULLITONSaturday night the Dekes gave a large and bulbousbrawl, which was well attended and thoroughly enjoy¬ed. Unlike other alleged beer parties, this was a realbeer party, aforementioned being the only beverageconsumed. The pledges who were going through hellweek, were slightly woozy, to judge from appearances,a fact which is not particularly surprising when it is con¬sidered that they had had about three hours sleep dur¬ing the whole of the preceding week.Among the many Alpha Delts who barged in atone time or another was one James Melville, who vocif¬erously expressed a desire to be known as the bestdressed man on campus. Among the numerous alumnipresent were Howie Schultz, Wayne Rapp, Bob Deem,and Dana Wilson. An unidentified freshman womanspent most of her time popping balloons with the end ofa cigarette. Art Goes (whom this particular colum¬nist certainly refuses to malign) was a first rate bar¬tender, ably assisted by Ken Peterson, and LouieMiller.Other non-Deke guests were Jimmy Goldsmith, abrother in Beke, Grant Adams, who, having emergedfrom his ivory tower, proceeded to enjoy himself in athoroughly unintellectual fashion. Hart Perry, whoproved his ability to remain sober, and Wayne Shaver,who apparently had a continental-complex, and wasrunning around kissing peoples’ hands.A good preview of the Blackfriars show was pre¬sented at the Blackhawk last Friday night. FrankCarey took a slight crack at Chicago women to theenjoyment of a healthy Northwestern contingent. Theshow was very good, from what we have Keard.Priscilla Hawley’s engagement party must havebeen a pretty ritzy affair. Psi U and Quadranglerpractically turned out in a body, and guzzled freely ofthe champagne which was liberally provided.Hell week notes: Alan Darling, Deke neophyte,was missing all day Sunday. Having been dumped, hefelt drowsy and put in a little eight-^ur catnap^ insomebody’s barn. The Dekes were about to call thepolice, but he turned up all right, and looking farhealthier than any of the rest of the pledge brothers,who weren’t getting too much sleep these days.Bob McNamee, Psi U pledge, also seemed troubledby lack of sleep. In one of his classes, identity un¬known, he yawned so much that the teacher threatenedto toss him out. Weary McNamee, unable to controlhimself, yawned a couple of times more, was tossedout.heaven is a fraternity house andthose who think heaven is a reportcard with straight A’s. The generalattitude of the two seems to besummed up in the words of a boy atthe Campus Congress panel on ath¬letics:“We want the University to haveinter-collegiate athletics because wewant to graduate from a ‘normal’school. We don’t want people to thinkthat our school is different from otherschools.”And all the time I thought wewanted U. of C. to be different fromother schools—better than otherschools.So far as I’m concerned they canhave the best teachers and facilitiesin the world and they won’t have aschool until the student body is agroup that is looking for the bestin life, not the ordinary . . . Theygive us a New Plan, and alreadythere is talk of going back to the oldweekly examinations and course cred¬its by exposure.’ And why? Becausethe students want to be ordinary.They give us discussion classes sothat we can talk things over, whichsurely is the very basis of education,and the students demand that the“discussion” meetings be nothingmore than rehashed lectures deliveredby the instructors. Why? Because thestudents want to be ordinary.I don’t know, but perhaps the Uni¬versity has placed too much emphasisupon obtaining students who are moreinterested in A’s than in education.But anyway now that we areswinging into the home stretch withthe emphasis upon comprehensives,that very elusive and much debatedthing called an education seems evenfarther away than ever before.

I And ThereWas LightBy SEYMOUR MILLER*****President Hutchins has finally comeout into the open. Friday night hewent to great pains to make “onesimple point” and make it clearlyenough so that even University stu¬dents and faculty members could un¬derstand it. It is probably true thatwhat he said then was not what hesaid in his “Higher Learning inAmerica”; nevertheless, for the firsttime he discussed educational pur¬poses in words that could be under¬stood, and hence discussed intelligent¬ly-If what President Hutchins saidFriday is all that he has meant duringthe year-long controversy centeringupon him, then most of that con¬troversy was due to misunderstandingof his position. However, as evidencedby the President’s verbal manhand¬ling of Dean Melby Friday night,there is still some room for argument.Most likely this too is due to mis¬understanding.* * *The first of Hutchins’ errors is thesharp distinction he draws betweenmeans and values. In his view, sciencecan help us achieve our means, can tellus how to produce automobiles, for in¬stance, or how to wage wars, butscience cannot help us decide ques¬tions of “values” such as whether ornot we want more automobiles orwant to fight wars. Only philosophycan do the latter.Actually, however, all so called val¬ues or ends are merely means toother or more distant ends, and thesein turn to still others. Thus, thequestion of whether or not a countryshould go to war is a question of whatis* the best way to achieve the aimsof the country, whether these be theacquisition of colonies, prevention ofinvasion, or securing of trade advan¬tages. What these aims are is deter¬mined by the more fundamental aimsof the country, such as its desire formaterial prosperity, prestige, free¬dom, etc. And these aims, in turn, aredetermined by still others.Eventually, if one pursues thistrail of causation far enough he willarrive at the ultimate value, “happi¬ness,” and this is to be explained bythe biologist rather than by thephilosopher. Hence, President Hutch¬ins’ argument that science can dealwith problems of means, but thatIndividucd HcdrdressingShampoo ood Wovo 50Monicuro 35KAMERIE BEAUTY SHOP1324 EAST 57th ST. HYDE PARK 7860Hr». 9 A.M. to 9 P.M.Mon., Wed., Sat. to 6 P.M. only philosophy can discuss problemsof ends or values is invalid. All ends(save one) are means to other ends.The second erroneous distinctionthat Hutchins draws is that betweenthe scientific and philosophical meth¬od. He fails to define the latter butdeclares that it is different in kindfrom the former.The scientific method should bethought of as something that comesin degrees. In practice, it is neverfound in perfect form. Even the mosthighly trained physicist cannot takeinto consideration all the facts; norcan he induce all the possible hypo¬theses that the evidence might sug¬gest; moreover he might make a mis¬take in his deductive reasoning. Nev¬ertheless, the physicist comes close tousing the perfect scientific method.* * *Not so the economist. He usuallyhas to omit experimentation or to em¬ploy it in an unsatisfactory manner.Despite this, he is a scientist and it isthe scientific method he uses, even ifit is not as perfect as that used by thephysicist. The philosopher belongs inthe same class. He, too, employs thescientific method, although also in anincomplete form. Hence, the distinc¬tion between the philosophic andscientific methods is one of degreerather than kind. Apparently, this iswhat persons like Dean Melby meanwhen they say that philosophy isbased on science.The important point, of course, forpractical purposes, is that a personwho has a problem to solve should goabout it in as nearly a perfectlyscientific manner as possible—what hecalls the method matters little exceptto confuse others.CLASSIFIED ADSBEAUTIFUL 6 ROOM HOME—6706 Mary¬land Ave. All lisht roomt.

But since he is al¬so a musician, Gunnar Johansen,young Danish pianist now playing aseries of piano recitals at OrientalInstitute, finds much to criticize aswell as to praise in his adopted coun¬try, such as inadequate public sup¬port of musicians, dependence onpatronage, and a nationwide systemof radio networks which has thrownhundreds of musicians out of work,without providing any added oppor¬tunities.Johansen has lived in America fornine years, ever since he came to thecountry for a vacation, and gave aconcert that was so well received thatit ended in a job with the NBCArtist’s Bureau. Through his work onthe radio he has become acquaintedwith the possibilities of that mediumand the misuse to which it is put.Dislikes Quality of ProgramsThe young musician’s principal ob¬jection to the broadcasting networksis not connected specifically withmusic, but with the fact that througha dependence on advertising for sup¬port of musicians, dependence onconsequent pandering to the lowesttastes of the American public, thereis often little or nothing of value pre¬sented on the radio.Applauding efforts of the Univer¬sity in this field, especially in suchRussell -(Continued from page 1)sure proposed by the Executive Boardwas overwhelmingly passed. It pro¬vided that if such anti-Strike propa¬ganda were again distributed by anygroups comprising the Greater Com¬mittee, the Executive Board should beinstructed to expel that disobedientfaction. When the Trotskyites madeit clear that they intended to con¬tinue ’sabotaging’ the Peace Strike’sprogram, it was felt that they couldbe much more ‘efficient’ in carryingout their program if they were out¬ride the committee. Even when the(ireater Committee realized their at¬titude, they did not wish to expelthem, but all attempts at unity failedwhen the Trotskyites resigned.”Concluding; Conway declared, “Ifthe Strike is to have unified campussupport and if it is to be a validdemonstration for peace, we feel thatit is necessary for all students towalk out of their classes Wednesdaymorning at 11 and participate.”LEARN TO FLYSpecial School RatesGov.

Form¬erly, each radio program had its ownstaff of artists broadcasting in theimmediate area, but now the increasein use of nationwide hookups centersthe musical output in a few NewYork studios, and musicians all overthe country have lost an importantmeans of support.Low Pay for MusiciansThose who do retain their positionsare often paid as low as $25 for aprogram, while studio heads excuselow pay for sustaining artists bypointing with pride to spectacularsums used in supporting such groupsas the NBC symphony. Coupled withthis lack of regard for the problemsof musicians is the rarity with whichthe works of young composers aregiven a hearing over the air, so thatwidely publicized programs are oftenlittle more than “pop” concerts, play¬ing old favorites only.To Go EastAfter his series at the University,he plans to go East to work withMrs. Elizabeth Sprague Coolidge,sponsor of the Pro Arte Quartet con¬certs held here during the winter andnoted patron of musicians.There are six more programs in hisseries, given Tuesday and Thursdayat 4:30 in Oriental Institute. Theystart with Chopin, and will bring theseries up to modern composers in thelast two. Tomorrow, Johansen willplay an all-Chopin program, four bal¬lads, twelve etudes, and the Sonata inB Minor.

Ob¬viously, said Hutchins, if the Univer¬sity can not support good will by rea¬son, it should become a nurseryschool. The task of education is “tomake rational animals more perfectlyrational”; any talk about ^ucationfor the “whole man” is meaninglessbecause there are other institutionsto care for the rest of man’s develop¬ment.Dean Melby, speaking after Hutch¬ins finished, announced as his firstprinciple of society that its valuesare human; man is the criterion of allvalues. To plan education, educatorsmust consider the biological nature ofman.Man Biological OrganismMan, he stated, is a biologicalequilibrium, which when unadjustedto its environment, seeks by variousmeans to re-adjust itself. Each wholeorganism reacts totally with all ofthe environment. This results in aconstant gp'owth of the individual’sexperience. Each individual is dif¬ferent from every other individual.Farrell Toombs'Book Shop5523 Kenwood Avo.Hydo Pork 6536America's Cook Book — Scrib¬ner's—new, $2.50.Lippmotm, The Gk>od Society—os new, $1.50.Hocking, The Spirit of WorldPolitics—good condition, $1.I^robion Nights, Lone TronsL—de luxe ed., 4 vols., good con¬dition, $3.Kimbark Theatre6240 KIMBARK AVENUETUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY"WIFE or GENERAL LANG"—Plus—HOLLYWOOD STADIUM MYSTERY' each is essentially social, and each iscreative.Since man is dynamic, unique, andreacts to the total of his environment,society and education should respecteach of these characteristics. Democ¬racy is the form of society most con¬sistent with the creative, individualaspect of man’s nature. Also, sincethe process of learning takes place asa whole, the student must learn byliving planned in this way.Curriculum for Each PersonIn developing a program of educa¬tion the educator must build a curric¬ulum for every single individual,suiting it to the needs of that personand determined after a careful studyof him. Social living must be builtinto the human organism by exampleso that unscientific progaganda cannot take effect. Creative achievement,superior to mastery of the achieve¬ments of others, is the end of socialliving.In the discussion following the state¬ments of their positions by the twomen, Hutchins denied that Melby hadany scientific basis for the principleslaid down at the beginning of hisspeech. Melby agreed that philosophywas necessary in selecting ends, butinsisted that philosophy be based onscience.Vol. 38 APRIL It, 1938 No. 108‘011{c ^aroonFOUNDED IN 1901MEMBER ASSOCIATED COLLEGIATEPRTOThe Daily Maroon is the official studentnewspaper of the University of Chicago,pablished mornings except Saturday, Sun¬day, and Monday during the Autumn,Winter and Spring quarters by The DailyMaroon Company, 5831 University avenue.Triephones: Local 367, and Hyde Park9221 and 9222.After 6:30 phone in stories to our print¬ers, The Chief Printing company, 1920Monterey Ave. Telephone Cedarcrest 8311.The University of Chicago assumes noresponsibility for any statements appear¬ing in Tlte Daily Marooq, or for any con-tract entered into by The Daily Maroon.The Daily Maroon expressly reservesthe rights of publication of any materialappearing in this papw.
