HUTCHINS’ TENTH YEARelje Bail? inamonVol. 39, No. 79. Z-149 THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO, FRIDAY, MARCH 10, 1939 Price Three CentsA Decade of New Education—1929-1939University of UtopiaWould Use *^Chieago Plan’AVir Plan HadBefiinninps BeforeAdvent of HutchinsThat the “Chicaffo Plan” wouldprobably have come to the Universityeven if Robert Maynard Hutchins hadnot. is one instance that mijjht beused in refuting: the “(jreat man”theory of history. Whether it couldhave been so ably defended by an¬other man is a matter of speculation.It was felt by the University ad¬ministration as early as 1926 that thecourse credit system was inadequate,and various committees set to workanalyzing weaknesses and remedies.Ry the sprinpr of 1927 the aims whichare expressed in the New Plan hadbi'en formulate<l and submitted to theUniversity Senate for its information.During: the same time. Max Mason,president of the University from 1925to 1928 had perceived the advantafresof comprehensive examinations insome courses and had made chanjfespreparatory to adoptinf^r them. Planksin the platform included more free¬dom for the students, wider fields ofstudy and reduction of time requiredof the more intelliprent students tofinish school.Mason’s ResignationThe resignation of President .Masonin 1928 delayed further action, butsoon after his inauguration PresidentHutchins indicated his sympathieswith the objectives set forth in thereport. Announcement of the NewIMan’s major outlines was made inNovember of 1930, and it first wentinto effect with the entrance of thefreshman class of 1931.The announcement of this innova¬tion in higher education stirred edu¬cators all over the country. No lessdid it disturb students on the quad¬rangles. Rumors about the campustold of tuition raises, of the abolitionof athletics, and of all other extra- Comprehensive Exams,Freedom for StudentsMajor Points.“In a law school of which I wasonce dean we had to buy an addingmachine to determine whether ourstudents could graduate . . . they cameto us by arithmetic; they left us viahigher calculus.” President RobertMaynard Hutchins in this way beganan after-dinner talk in November1930, and then proceeded to describethe University of Utopia: i. e. a schoolwhich has an ideal New Plan.The University of Utopia would bedivided into five divisions and theprofessional schools. The five divi¬sions would be the Humanities, theBiological, Social, and Physical Sci¬ences, and the college.Comprehensive examinations re¬place course credits. W’henever a stu¬dent can demonstrate, by passing therequired comprehensives, that he hasacquired a general education, he maygraduate from the college. Once in anupper division, above the College, thestudent will graduate by the samemeans by which he entered—by pass¬ing a comprehensive examination.The student is left perfectly free toprogress at whatever rate is mostnatural for him. Comprehensives aregiven often enough to allow him tograduate at the end of any quarter.The reorganization of departmentsinto major divisions makes adminis¬tration simpler and more efficient,makes cooperation and integration ofwork more easily possible, and thusaids research workers and aids thestudent.curricular activities, and the downfallof fraternities. President Hutchinsexplained away the fears of the Uni¬versity students, then turned to ex¬plain it to the world.Cartoons, radio speeches, newspap¬ers, and magazines spread the newsof the reorganization, and PresidentHutchins was placed on the annualhonor roll of The Nation for hisscheme of “reorganization of educa-' tion.” President for a DecadeRobert Maynard HutchinsHutchins—Adler DialecticMakes Monkeys of StudentsHere’s Hutchins the Man-Still Youthful at FortyPresident Robert Maynard Hutch¬ins,—six foot three, handsome, young,brash, witty, pungent, insolent,—these are well worn adjectives tradi¬tionally used to described him.

He has nothing of thestuffed shirt in him for he doesn’tnee<l it. His own methods are moreeffective.In 1939 Hutchins is just as quick-on-the-trigger as ever, and his come¬backs are just as penetrating. It isdoubtful that they will ever lessenin their vigor or that Hutchins willever join the plushily diplomatic runof college presidents.

If helacks anything, it is perhaps humil¬ity. When in a belligerent mood (andhe usually is) he can attack the stu¬dent mind with pitiless ferocity. Atother times he has high regard forstudent capabilities, as shown in theambitious reading list he has sub¬mitted without success to the Collegefaculty, or in the weighty amount ofwork he demands of his History ofCulture class.Efficiency ExpertIn administrative work his brus-oue way of putting demands getsquick and efficient results. However,he studiously avoids all unnecessarysocial life and even some of the nec¬essary. Because he and his wife nev¬er answer faculty invitations andnever appear at Quadrangle Clubshindigs, less friendly faculty mem¬bers take pains to broadcast theHutchins “snobbishness.” Hutchins isnot letting this reputation botherhim.An inexhaustible humor enableshim to cope easily with the arrowsthat have been slung at him, but heputs his foot down when it is a ques¬tion of bringing in his family.Students sometimes dislike Hutch¬ins, because few know him. Thetrustees are satisfied as long as hecontinues to attract great scholarsand large endowments to the univer¬sity. In fact, one of the major mys¬teries of the age is how Hutchins,with his biting satire, manages tocajole millionaires into keeping Uni¬versity coffers full. Perturbed apprehension strikes agroup of about 26 students everyTuesday. Members of the Hutchins-Adler History of Culture class whichmeets from 4 to 6 Tuesday afternoon,these 25 students are usually antici¬pating a good two hours of dialecticaldiscussion, which according to String-fellow Parr, president of St. John’sCollege, “is likely to make a monkeyout of somebody.” Frequent discus¬sion can be heard of “the paper” mys¬terious document requii’ed of everystudent every week for class member¬ship.For eight years Robert MaynardHutchins and Mortimer Adler, assoc¬iate professor of the Philosophy ofLaw, have conducted discussions ongood books. Sitting together at oneend of a long table, they try twohours every week to train the stu¬dents clustered around it to read cor¬rectly. The ultimate test of whetheror not a student knows what he istalking about seems to be his abilityto answer the persistent questions ofthe man in the street as personifiedby Mr. Hutchins.Reading An ArtBut reading well is one of the lib¬eral arts, and, like the rest of them,a habit. Mr. Adler, therefore, is nonetoo optimistic about the efficacy of thecourse. Habits, he knows, can be lost;and morevover, bad’ones have alreadybeen formed by most members of theclass at the time of life they registerfor History Culture.Certainly many members of theclass have had opportunity to developacademic habits, whether good or bad.Though History of Culture is a 200course most class members are sen¬iors and graduate students, and someare faculty members. But all areequal before an unfamiliar text.Besides two hours of cross-examin¬ation by Hutchins and Adler, the re¬quirement of a short paper each weekhelps train students in reporting withprecision on what they read. Specialassistant to the President, Janet Kal-ven, a member of the first Hutchins-Adler class, grades the papers and discusses them with the students inlong individual conferences.Course NucleusEthics and politics are the nucleussubject matters about which the read¬ing list is formed. In Autumn the stu¬dents read over 100 pages of St.Thomas Aquinas’ treatise on the vis-tues in volume 7 of the “Summa Theo-logica.” St. Thomas’ treatise on lawin volume 8 of the Summa; his “Gov¬ernance of Rulers,” and Machievelli’s“The Prince” was the basis of theirdiscussion and writing this quarter.In spring they will read Hobbes’“Elements of Law;” Locke’s second“Essay on Government;” and Spin¬oza’s theological and political writ¬ings.The reading list was not always soshort. Modelled after the ColumbiaCollege Honors Course started in 1919History of Culture, first included 100leading classics of the western world.The list was taken from the Colum¬bia syllabus prepared by MortimerAdler, John Brebner, John Erskine,Richard P. McKeon. Mark Von Doren,and many others.Twenty students were selected fromthe 60 honor students of the 1930freshman class picked for personal in¬terviews with Adler. For two year?these students read famous classicsfrom Homer through Freud. Likingthe course, some of them persuadedthe instructors to give it again.U. High CourseFor four years History of Culturewas given at University High. Hutch¬ins and Adler were able to conductmost of the classes the first twoyears; the second group was led byGladys Campbell and Russell Thomas,instructors in Humanities at theHigh School. Others who dropped inoccasionally to conduct classes wereThornton Wilder, Richard P. McKeon,and Arthur Rubin. Among the mem¬bers of these high school classes wereBob Brumbaugh, Tom Stauffer,George McElroy,’ Marion Gerson,and Bill Stevens.The high school classes were drop-(Continued on page 5) Hutchins LeadsUniversity toGreater Fame‘Youngest President’Not Considered for Postat First.When University trustees first metto choose a new president, the nameof Robert Maynard Hutchins wasmissing from the list of 95 prospects.When he was suggested to Harold H.Swift, chairman of the Board ofTrustees, Mr. Swift had to be in-informed as to just who he was. Onlythen was his name added to the listof pi’ospects.Hutchins, then dean of the LawSchool at Yale, was in Chicao attend¬ing a legal conference. Invited toadvise on the proposed reorganiza¬tion of the law school, he impressedboth faculty members and trusteeswith the “force and clarity of histhinking.” Everybody, says Swift,liked him immediately. Hutchins wasinvited to Chicago, a second timewhen trustees agreed that he was theman to carry on the tradition ofHarper, Pratt, Judson, Burton, andMason.Personal HistoryRobert Maynard Hutchins was bornJanuary 17, 1899 in Brookline, Mas¬sachusetts. He studied at OberlinAcademy, graduating in 1915, wentto Oberlin College for two years,then entered the ambulance serviceof the United States Army in 1917as a private. He served with theambulance corps till 1919 and waswith the Italian army in 1918-19. TheItalian government decorated himwith the Croce de Guerra for braveryunder fire.After leaving the service in 1919he entered Yale. While an under¬graduate he was prominent in stu¬dent activities, in addition to beingself-supporting by managing the Co¬operative Tutoring Bureau, which heorganized. He was captain of theYale debating team, and member ofthe Alpha Delta Phi fraternity.In 1921 he married Maude PhelpsMcVeigh, daughter of Warren Mc¬Veigh of the New York Sun. In 1923he was appointed secretary of Yale.Continuing his study of law duringsummer terms, he graduated fromthe Yale Law School in 1925 with anLL. B degree, magna cum laude. Af¬ter graduation he taught in the LawSchool and in 1926 became a full pro¬fessor, During this time he retainedthe secretaryship of the universityand when the dean of the Yale LawSchool was appointed to the federalbench Hutchins advanced to the po¬sition of acting dean, and afterwardwas appointed dean.Appointed in 1929His appointment as president ofthe University was announced April26, 1929, by Harold H. Swift. At theconvocation address in June Univer¬sity audiences first heard him definea University as a community ofscholars. He v/as inaugurated asPresident of the University of Chi¬cago on November 19, 1929.The first professional school tofeel Hutchins’ influence was the Lawschool. Entrance requirements werechanged to include aptitude tests andpersonal interviews.November 24, 1930 the New Planwas announced, incorporating thosefeatures which two weeks previousljHutchins had described as a part ofthe organization of the University ofUtopia.In April of 1931 the Business(Continued on page 4)This IssueSince President Hutchins is near¬ing the end of his tenth year atthe University, the Daily Maroontoday presents the Hutchins TenthYear issue.

However, he has saidsaid that if a university presi¬dent is going to accomplish any¬thing he must do it within tenyears.So, as the tenth year underHutchins approaches the end,the Maroon has written a his¬tory of his reign to show that hehas accomplished and perhapsto hint at what may be expectedin the future.President Hutchins is not theGod that some of his admirershave made him out to be (as seethe article, “Hutchins of Chica¬go,” by Milton Mayer, in thismonth’s Harper), and in anyevaluation of his work it is, ofcourse, proper to point out hisfaults. It is natural for the Ma¬roon to do this for there hasbeen no more faithful—and re¬spectful—chastener of the Pres¬ident than his “Personal Organ.”He deserves chastening forhaving stirred up much uselessargument by expressing hisviews in language that few canunderstand. He deserves chas¬tening for his exclusiveness—ifhe associated with his faculty alittle more, he’d learn that notall professors are concernedmerely with gathering trivialfacts in a highly specializedfield, but that they are moreinterested in “metaphysics” andthe relations between the dif¬ferent fields of study than herealizes. He deserves chasten¬ing for carrying a sensible andvaluable educational theory to anextreme by ignoring all but theintellectual aspects of educa¬tion.But, despite the criticisms ofalumni who don’t understandhim and of faculty memberswhose academic complacency hehas disturbed, President Hut¬chins’ page in the University’sledger certainly has a strongcredit balance.As president of the Univer¬sity, Hutchins has unquestion¬ably been a success. He has beenan efficient administrator; agood money-getter, consideringthat the country has been in adepression during the entire tenyears; and an unparalleled pub¬licist. He has defended the aca¬demic freedom of his facultyand students. These are themain duties of the average uni¬versity president, and he hasdone them well.But Hutchins has been evena better educator than a presi¬dent. He pushed through thenow famous but once bitterlycriticized New Plan. His much THE DAILY MAROON, FRIDAY, MARCH 10. 1939publicized but little-understoodviews, whether right or wrong,are probably the most signifi¬cant contribution to educationalthought in several decades. Sig¬nificant, in that they have madenot only educators but also or¬dinary people realize that some¬thing is very wrong with ourpresent school system. Signifi¬cant, in that they have raisedthe fundamental, but usuallyignored, problem of the purposesof education. And significant, inthat he has given to this prob¬lem and to the problem of howto achieve these purposes an¬swers which hold out the pos¬sibility of our educational sys¬tem and hence our society.It is, as a rule, easier and moreprofitable to criticize than topraise. Consequently, the Ma¬roon has usually done the for¬mer with regard to PresidentHutchins. But we don’t want itthought that the Maroon dis¬likes him, personally or intel¬lectually.We think it altogether fittingthat the country’s most distin¬guished university should havethe country’s most distinguish¬ed president.ThePresidentlSpeaking |“I am in sympathy with the fra¬ternity as an institution . . .

Under the newplan, the Law School was expandedso that students could enter it afterhaving had only two years in theCollege. The most important featureof the expansion, however, was theinclusion of non-legal material oftypes most commonly found in modernlegal practice.Briefly summarized, the changesmade in the courses include the addi¬tion of courses in psychology, econom¬ics, political theory, English, consti¬tutional history, and legal methods,as well as the “tool” subjects of ac¬counting, statistics, and logic. Thepre-professional year immediatelybefore entering Law School was elim-inate<l, and instruction in both legaland non-legal work is carried on inall four years. Instead of having ex¬aminations at the end of each course,cumulative annual comprehensiveshave been instituted. The que.stionsare of the essay type, and are de¬signed to cover as many fields oftheoretical and practical law thathave been studied as possible.No Quarter SystemThe “quarter system,” which is ineffect in the College, is no longerin operation in the Law School, be¬cause, according to Professor WilburG. Katz, chairman of the committeewhich drew up the plan, having somestudents work in the summer would“throw the whole class out of stepwith itself.”By far the majority of the workmust be taken in a definite, prescrib¬ed order, but the elective work, sinceit is, for the most part, an individualproposition, permits much more flex¬ibility and gives the student muchmore freedom of choice..After two years in the Law School,the .student receives his Bachelor’sdegree, and he is awarde<l his JDdegree after four. Students alreadyin the school at the time of the re-(irganization are going on under theold plan. Next year’s graduatingclass will graduate under a modifiednew plan, but the first complete newplan class will be the class of ’41.The most important reasons formaking the change were, in the firstfdace, to unify the cour.ses, and sec¬ond, to make students responsible forall the material covered during theyear on the final examination. Un¬der the old system, the work wasbroken up into small “course units,”which could be passed off one at alime, thus preventing the students from getting a full picture of the lawas a whol6.Presidential UpheavalThe great upheaval w^as precededby President Hutchins’ speech to theNew York State Bar Association latein January, 1937, in which he at¬tacked the nation’s law schools.While he admitted that the accept¬ed case-book method of teaching wasof some value, he maintained thatstudents and professors are wrest¬ling in the law schools with logicalproblems of the greatest difficultyand doing it without any equipmentexcept that with which they havebeen gifted by nature. . .You can’tteach principles without teachingcases, but you can teach cases with¬out teaching principles.”Review DifficultAs yet it is difficult to predict theaccomplishments of the new plan,since there will be no graduates underthe plan until 1941. Some indicationof the success or failure of thescheme will be show'n by the resultsof the Bar examinations of this firstnew plan class.In the basic courses, it has beennecessary to write new text books;new books have been published in re¬lation to the courses in torts and con¬tracts, and the legal methods bookhas been revised.One of the most important aspectsof the new plan is the tutorial sys¬tem, under which each freshmanworks with one of the professors onsome special projects. The idea ofthis work is to give the student somepractical legal experience.The incorporation of legal and non-legal courses is not running assmoothly as it might; students areinclined to slight their 'Work in non-legal fields and to concentrate ontheir legal studies.Professors ReviewWagner Act SundayWith the voices of labor and in¬dustry raised in Congress for revisionof the Wagner Act, three Universityof Chicago profes.sors: a legal expert,an industrial arbitrator, and theDean of the Busine.ss School reviewthe situation on the University ofChicago Round Table this Sunday(March 12—11:30 A.

Business SchoolTries New Plan;Modifies ItThe Business School is the step¬child of the University. When Presi¬dent Robert Maynard Hutchins saysthat is is not the business of a uni¬versity to be a trade school each stu¬dent in Haskell Hall feels affronted.Yet, when the new plan of reor¬ganizing the University curricula andadministration was announced inApril 1931, the Business School wasthe first of the professional schoolsto adopt it.Grades, required courses, andcourse credits were abolished. Inplace of this outmoded paraphernaliathe Business School administrationsubstituted three comprehensive ex¬aminations and a period of “interne-ship in business.” The idea of in-terne.ship paralleled that of the medi¬cal schools, giving the student a trialperiod before his degree was award¬ed. Of the three exams, the first wasto be given after the first year in theschool, the second at the end of thenext year, and the third after the pe¬riod of interneship.But the depths of the depressionwere yet to come and the scheme ofinterneship, never abandoned, hashardly been successful. Grades, de¬manded by students, were returnedto them. Required courses were re¬stored, then course credits, and final¬ly class attendance was again madecompulsory unless a student main¬tained a B average.WITH AFLOOI^ mSINTATIONWfimm: U.6ft$9,90; 9iW<ll9AflimQ«iiTiaMo thMii« MQir linteOlD COASTROOM ' ADOLPHE...INVITES YOU BEFORE AND /JTER YOURDATES TO THE COLORFUL COCKTAILLOUNGE.Hotel Shoreland55th ST.

Becausethe system is one of the largest andmost important units in the pictureof student social life and activities,the Maroon has reviewed the changesin the system during the last tenyears.It is necessary to go back to theschool year 1927-28, when the Uni¬versity first began supervising fra¬ternity finances and keeping records.At that time there were 32 fraterni¬ties with 776 members. Those werethe days when rushing was wideopen and freshmen walked in to regis¬ter with pledge pins on. The facultythen took much greater interest instudent affairs than now, and a fac¬ulty committee actually spent timeworrying about such things as set¬ting up a uniform accounting systemfor the fraternities, lessening theevils of hell week, and reformingstudents in general.Students Needed ReformingAnd according to reports, the stu¬dents needed reforming. Hell weekwas on a low level, to say the leastand uf aally- completely disrupted thefreshmen’s school program for a con¬siderable period.Then in 1931-32 the New Plan wasinaugurated, and depression hit theUniversity. In addition, the Univer¬sity’s new dormitories housing 400men were opened. Soon it was ruledthat no freshman could live in a fra¬ternity house.That year 28 fraternities pledged303 freshmen to make a total of 710fraternity men and pledges. The nextyear deferred rushing went into ef¬fect (pledging in the spring quarter)and 23 fraternities pledged 174 men.Two fraternities had gone off campus,two didn’t get any pledges, and onewas prohibited from pledging.Fight Deferred RushingThe fraternities immediately beganto fight deferred rushing and finallyhad the system changed to essential¬ly what it is today. The last con¬certed effort to shorten the rushingseason failed in 1936 when a Univer¬sity committee investigated the sit¬uation and made a report favoringthe status quo. The reason given wasthat intensive rushing during the fallquarter would too seriously interferewith the freshmen’s already difficultproblem of adjustment to the Uni¬versity.Fraternities continued to dribbleoff campus until the year 1935-36,when seven went off at once. Thisleft 18, with a total of 580 men. Thenumber of men pledged continued todecline proportionately, until thisyear, when fraternities rallied topledge 189 men, a gain of 21 per centover last year. The total number ofmen and pledges is 444 in 15 fra¬ ternities, not counting Kappa AlphaPsi, on which no figures were avail¬able.For those who are interested in thefuture of the fraternity system, thismay or may not be very significant.Pledges Well DistributedThe fact that pledges were welldistributed among all the houses thisyear for the first time in quite awhile looks well for the future sta¬bility of the system. That the aver¬age number of men in each house hasincreased from 24 in the years 1927-31 to 32 years 1935-38 also seems toindicate increased strength.Probably the fact that times aregetting better is the most importantreason for the change, but this isn’tthe sole factor, for fraternities weregoing off campus in 1928.At other schools the fraternities’easiest and primary selling point isoften their housing facilities. Thereseems to be some evidence that thefraternities have finally realized thatthe dormitories have deprived themof this, and that they will have toturn their attention to providingother values if the fraternities are tocontinue to exist.The Maroon groused editorially in1932 that the main evil of fraterni¬ties was that they were unable to co¬operate on anything except a campus Hutchins Leads-(Continued from page 1)school announced that it would reor¬ganize its curriculum and objectivesimmediately.Conflicts B<;ginIn the school year of 1933-34 Pres¬ident Hutchins became involved inthe first of his arguments with othereducators who finally became awareof the implocations of Hutchins’stand and rushed to the attack.Highlight of the 1934-35 year wasthe Walgreen attack upon the Uni¬versity—the Red quiz, which Univer¬sity men say left the school in astronger position than ever before.A faint aroma of bolshevism still re¬mains connected with the Universityin the public mind, however, a cir¬cumstance which even the $550,000Walgreen Foundation for the studyof democratic institutions has beenunable to erase.“Higher Learning”In 1936 the Yale University presspublished “The Higher Learning inAmerica,” in which President Hutch¬ins defined the philosophical andpractical basis for his educationaltheories. John Dewey, of ColumbiaUniversity, was Hutchins’ chief op¬ponent, with lesser lights of the edu¬cational world lining up on each side.The reorganization of the lawschool in February 1937 would al¬most seem to have been announced atthe moment when a concrete example The only real Bar-B-Q PH for miles aroundTOOTSY'SDelirious Old Southern Style Bar-B-Q RibsFREE DELIVERY6306 MARYLANDPLAZA 6644 SERVICE ENGRAVING CO.Detroit MichiganEngravars 'to the1939 CAP AND GOWNNO BREAKING IN NEEDEDMEDICO fllTIREP SMOKINGMEDICO’S patented filter, com¬bining 66 Baffle interionS3celtopKaheerteriof, it greatest sden*tific smoking invention ever known.(t traps nicotine, juices and flakes;and breaks up hotsmoke stream,resulting in cool,’’broken • in”Filtered Smokingin Medico Pipes,Cigarette and Vinest briarCigar Holders.

Hutchins has said may be the“turning point in the history of theliberal arts college.” But only twoyears ago, St. Johns was on the rocks.In spite of a 200 year old tradition,the college was removed from the ac¬credited list of American colleges by the Association of American Col¬leges. It had no president, AmosWoodcock having resigned when thetrustees turned down his pet schemeof making money by admitting wo¬men, who, he was sure, would swarmbecause of the proximity of the Na¬val Academy. It had no funds andfew students. It could not pay its fac¬ulty a living wage. Its curriculumwa.s suffering from the worst of theevils of the elective system.The Board of Visitors and Gover¬nors, casting about for a new presi¬dent, hit on Stringfellow Barr, whomwith Scott Buchanan, had beenbrought by Hutchins the year beforeto Chicago from the University ofVirginia to help with the formationof a Committee on the Liberal Artsto investigate the proper content of aliberal arts curriculum.

Professor Charles E.Merriam, Chairman of the Depart¬ment of Political Science, pointedout.This bill provides that the presi¬dent may make changes in the ad¬ministrative organization of the gov¬ernment subject to two conditions.The first is that changes may be ve¬toed within 60 days by the vote ofboth houses of congress, and the sec¬ond is that 17 bureaus are exemptedfrom change by the president. Thedifference between this bill and thelast reorganization bill is that a ve¬to can only be imposed by bothhouses acting concurrently, insteadof by either house alone.Merriam pointed out that the voteon the bill was almost strictly a par¬ty vote, and that Republicans werenow opposing a bill which is prac¬tically identical to a bill they sup¬ported and passed under the Hooveradministration.Merriam worked on a committee ofthree for a year previous to the writ¬ing of this bill to submit a report on administrative organization. W’hetherhis extensive report was studiedcarefully or not, the bill, includingexemptions, provisions for veto, andthe time limit is essentially like pre¬vious reorganization bills.Collegium MusieumGives Concert SundayHighlighted by the American pre¬mier of a 13th century choral com¬position, the third concert of the Col¬legium Musieum gets under way thisSunday at 8:15 in the south lounge ofReynolds Club.

CTS had a lot ofheight which gave them command ofrebounds from both backboards butthe Phi Sigs were fast and showedsome excellent pa.ssing which gaveSolly Sherman 15 points.At the half the score was tied IS¬IS only to be broken in the next threeminutes of play by Wedenhouse and ^Ronander putting in seven points for jCTS. R. Harris, Sherman and Fink jretaliated with a bucket apiece in the jnext couple of minutes to bring the jscore to 20-19. Baskets by Kaiser,Clark, and Ronander then gave CTSanother lead which was threatenedonly when Sherman sank a free shot,on a technical by Ronander, with tenseconds to go in the game. :Ronander again led CTS scoring |with nine points, followed by Weden¬house with eight, Clark with five, andKaiser and Conover with two each.Phi Sigs’ opportunity to win cameas Clark, who with his six feet three,had be*en breaking up Phi Sig playsmade his third foul early in the .sec¬ond period. But, luckily for the newchampions, he was careful and wenteasy on the Phi Sigs to stay in thegame. Maroon HopesSlim in BigTen Track MeetFive Bip Ten MeetsLure InterestOf Sports Fans Chicago’s chances in the Big Tenindoor track championships which be¬gin in the Fieldhouse tonight and endtomorrow are not very encouraging.The Maroons have several out¬standing men, however, that shouldwin some recognition. Bob Davidsonand Bob Cassels are the best Maroonpole vaulters in recent years. Bothhave cleared over 13 feet this year,enough to press even the great Pad¬way of Wisconsin.John Davenport, Big Ten 100 yarddash champ, will give his opponentsa run for their money in the 60 yarddash. Bob Wasem is probably theI best hurdler in the Big Ten but hismain handicap is hitting the hurdlersbecause his leaps are so low. If hegets over this, he will be a strongcontender.In the shot put, Hugh Rendalman iscertain to win a place but he probablywill not pass Watson of Wisconsin,who has a record of 51’5 1-2” thisyear against Michigan.

Sports UnderHutchins* ♦ *By JOHN STEVENSNeither the credit nor the blamefor our good, bad, or mediocre ath¬letic teams can be placed on Presi¬dent Hutchins. Evidence for thisstatement lies in the records, whichshow that the strengths of the vari¬ous Maroon teams are essentially thesame as in the first year of the Hut¬chins administration.The football squad was slightlystronger in 1929 than in 1938, butit was still definitely in the dol¬drums. The boys managed to downIndiana and upset Princeton, butthey made little progress againstPurdue, Wisconsin, Illinois, or Wash¬ington, Altogether, how’ever, the 1929squad was a great improvement overthe previous team, which failed toscore a Conference victory. In fact,the 1928 eleven was so weak thatthe Daily Northwestern advocatedthat the Maroons drop out of the BigTen.—And BasketballThe basketball squad of a decadeago, in contrast to the team of today,was weaker than the grid squad. Thefive won only two games against con¬ference foes, half as many as theboys won this season. Although thepresent five is better than the one ofthe past, there has been no trendtoward improved basketball teamsduring the Hutchins regime.The Maroons excelled in the sameminor sports in that year as they donow. The water polo, gymnastics, andfencing teams fittingly walked offwith the championships. The tennisteam was also similar to the present.Led for a while by George Lott, theyeasily chalked up victories. However,the strength of the team was not lim¬ited to this one man. Lott dropped outol school, and the number two mantook over the first position and man¬aged to win the Big Ten singles title.Looking over the list of sports,there is none in which Maroons havegreatly changed their ranking. Moresignificant is the fact that the abilityof the various athletic aggregationshas been practically stagnant duringthe decade.
