Professor InPolitics* * * I{For five nvonths Marshall Dimock,associate professor of Public Admini¬stration, has been serving as SecondAssistant Secretary of Labor inWashington. In two articles writtenfor the Daily Maroon he tells his im¬pressions and conclusions. —Ed.By MARSHALL E. DIMOCKOn this May Day I am commencingmy fifth month as an Assistant Secre¬tary of Labor. During this periodhardly a day has passed withoutsomeone’s asking me, “Well, what dif¬ference do you find, if any, betweentheory and practice?’’ I might addthat the question is usually accom¬panied by a provocative smirk. Thesupposed dichotomy between theoryand practice is generally regarded asa sure-basis of forcing professorswho have drifted into “practical” pur¬suits, even if only momentarily, toacknowledge the unrealistic characterof their past thinking and teaching.I must admit that I am always gladto be asked this question, even thoughI realize I am being baited. Fact ofthe matter is I took this job in thehope, yea expectation, that executiveexperience would either confirm ormodify my own notions on this muchdisputed question. In candor I mustadmit that I came down here withpretty definite ideas about the theory-practice argument and hence it isquite possible that, despite my ef¬forts to he objective, I have unwit¬tingly accumulated illustrations tosupport an a priori position. Thereader may judge for himself, or bet¬ter still, those of you who are stillaround when I return to the Univer¬sity should administer a stringentthird degree.Theory and PracticeWhat opportunities do I have forjudging what difference there is, ifany, between theory and practice? Imust tell you something about myjob or else you will be unable to judgethe degree to which my position af¬fords opportunity for instruction onthis moot question. The Second As¬sistant Secretary of Labor’s functionsare defined by long-established prac¬tice. He deals with all questions oforganization and coordination arisingwithin the department or between thedepartment and other independentagencies. He is the coordinator, theexecutive officer, the trouble shooter.In addition, I have been given specialresponsibility for federal-state rela¬tions and the development of a long-range legislative program. In connec¬tion with the last-mentioned assign¬ment I must naturally see a greatdeal of our “constituency,” the laboiorganizations.Now to get back to the question Ihave posed. A large part of the de¬partment’s business is performed bycommittees and their deliberationsmaterialize in written memoranda.Almost the first day I arrived on thejob I received one of these, a reportdealing comprehensively with federalaid to the states. Much to my sur¬prise, and secret satisfaction, it wasthe most “academic” document youever saw. Why? Because it was com¬prehensive, logical, supported by au¬thority, and based upon principleswhich conclusions had been drawn.Every good report or oral argumentthat has come to my attention sincethat initial experience has been of thesame kind, i.e. academic. My thesis isthis: the better the theory the betterthe practice, the sloppier the think¬ing the worse the anticipated results.ObservationsThese are some of the observationsI have made: (1) in a group discus¬sion the person who can think mostclearly and systematically is giventhe most respectful hearing; (2) inan argument between two individualsone of whom is capable of logical,theoretical formulations and the oth¬er of whom is not not, but relies up¬on blustering or personality instead,the former eventually carries hispoint; (3) the administrative officerwho is weak in theoretical ability issoon “found out” and his influencetends increasingly to diminish thelonger he associates with the samegroup of executives. I am preparedto go so far as to say that a personcannot expect to be an outstanding,permanent success unless he has alogical mind capable of ordering com¬plex factors into practical principles.A principle, as I use the term, meansa logical formulation which has beentested, verified, and modified, if needfie, in the light of universal experi¬ence.I hear some of you saying, “VeryWell, but you’ve told only half thestory.” You are right; there is moreto tell. An individual cannot be out-(Continued on pJ^4) ^ ISailp inacoonVol. 39, No. 103.

Tickets for theseries w’ere all disposed of the firstday of distribution, the UniversityInformation office has reported.Recent FameWoollcott’s most recent .fame camein recent weeks when the New Yorkermagazine devoted three of its “Pro¬file” sketches to the widely publicizedauthor, likening his face to that of anowl, and his name to a copyreader’serror.Of his lectures, which have no in¬dividual titles, Woollcott says: “With30 years of experience in journalismand behind the microphone, I will at¬tempt to throw some light upon thefascination, the freedom and the in¬creasing impotence of the press.”Journalistic ExperienceWoollcott began his 30 years injournalism at Hamilton college. NewYork. Shortly after his graduation,he was given a job on a New Yorknewspaper, and has been in his daydramatic critic of the Times, theTribune and the World.

The edi¬tors make the proverbial promise thatthe magazine will contain a fine newssection, many interesting pictures,thought-stimulating poetry, and enter¬taining short stories.A survey of the Hyde Park Neigh¬borhood Club is the only specific ar¬ticle the editors would mention. Muchof this secrecy is probably due to thefact that the campus grapevine re¬veals that Pulse will contain threescoops that no other publication, in¬cluding the Maroon, has any knowl¬edge of. 2000 Invited to HearWorld Famous ChamberMusic Group.Invitations for five concerts by theKolisch String Quartet, one of themost famous chamber music groupsin the world, have been mailed to2,000 people by the Music department.Sponsored by Elizabeth Sprague Coo-lidge, the Quartet begins its seriestomorrow at 8:30 in Mandel hall.

Studentsinterested in attending are asked tosign up this week in the Chapel office.Perhaps because they are so inex¬pensive or because they are exceed¬ingly informal, the Chapel Union out¬ings have been very successful thisseason—often attracting as many as50 students with little publicity.First OutingThe first outing of this season wasat Druce Lake where Walter Lavesand Marshall Knappen addressed thegroup on “Is Western CivilizationDoomed?” On this, a two-day out¬ing, the other entertainment includedbarn dances, charades and a bigtreasure hunt.Later in the season a one-day out¬ing was held at Wilmette, where stu¬dents played touchball and listenedto talks on the topic of “College Stu¬dents and Marriage.”Dean Gilkey and Shailer Mathewsspoke at the third outing which washeld in co-operation with other reli¬gious organizations. The subject was“What Can Religion Do for the Mod¬ern World?” The Jewish StudentsFoundation, the YWCA, the Inter¬church Council, the Calvert Club andthe Christian Science group were theother sponsors.Long OutingThe longest outing of the year washeld during spring vacation at OgdenDunes.

This, accord¬ing to the plans of senior classleaders and Board of Trustees’Secretary John Moulds, will notbe the only contribution of grad¬uating class. There are hintsthat they will sponsor a drive forindividual gifts from seniorswho are able to give them.The University is always inneed of money for scholarships,for only on the basis of a liberalscholarship allowance can a pri¬vate tuition university hope toextend the advantages of theeducation it offers to other thanwealthy students. One of themost ambitious publicity cam¬paigns of the year has been cen¬tered around an appeal for thesefunds. Scholarships are the mostworthy use for the class giftfunds which come out of theFandango. They are also themost worthy use for any contri¬butions which seniors can makeindividually. No one can objectto the projected use for thefunds.The only objection is to thewhole tradition of dunning grad¬uating students, on the basis oftheir loyalty to the school, andasking them to make contribu¬tions because it would be dis¬graceful not to. There are nopoorer students than seniors.Scholarships are scarce in theupper years, graduation fees arehigh, the press of examinationshas forced many seniors to dis¬continue needed jobs, and there¬fore many are in debt for somepart of their education. Theyare loyal to the University, butnot so loyal that they will stopeating lunches for it.There are some students whocan give, but who will not with¬out incentive. The drive is agood idea for them. If it assid¬uously avoids high-pressuringthose who cannot contribute im¬mediately, it will be a good ideafor the whole class. If thesestudents really want to give,their contributions will be justas valuable in the future, whenthey can afford them. A drivewhich signed students up forpledges to be paid in five, ten, ortwenty-five years, provisional onthe financial condition of the do¬nor, might attract some largelong-term gifts as well as somesmall spot contributions. Eventhe scholarship holders, whocannot pay now, may in the fu¬ture be willing to turn back intothe scholarship fund the moneythat they have taken from it. TravellingBazaarBest-dressed man essay contestjudges report the following brightspots in the dull task of judging sev¬eral hundred essays:A rushing note from a fraternitybrother: “Ed Bates is the best-dressedman on campus because he is a mem¬ber of the best dressed fraternity—and draws apparel from the collectivewardrobe.”From the girls at Blackstone hall:“Speedy Stern gets our vote becauseclothes make the man, and Speedycan always be made. We know.”From a contributor who was ma¬liciously out to ruin contestant DaveWiedemann’s chances: “Ed Bates isthe best dressed man because he hasnever been seen on campus in a Field-house shirt.”From a loyal Lil Abner fan: “BudLinden wears clothes which are bothnice and neat in appearance, and col¬orful. Bud is also good-looking—Woo-Woo.”From a disgruntled undergraduate:“He is always immaculately clean.This is unusual for a University stu¬dent.”But the best recommendation of all:“Speedy Stern is not good-looking,and he has an unappealing personal¬ity. But he is very successful withwomen. It must be his clothes.”a * 4>What an air-tight organizationlooks like was revealed by Best-Dressed Bates’ campaign manager,Johnny Bex, yesterday. The organi¬zation that won the race, says Johnny,was made up of at least one girl ineach of the women’s residence halls,and one boy in each of the men’s; per¬sistent contacts with other fraterni¬ties, and a winning air of completehonesty. To spur the brother PhiDelts on to victory, at lunch hoursmanager Bex sponsored poetry con¬tests, with prize-winning jingles aboutBates entered into the essay contest.Five photographs, circulated by cam¬paigners, completed the trick.Bates’ fifty dollars in prize moneywas all spent by yesterday morning,for a blue green gabardine suit thatbrightened the campus considerablyMonday afternoon, a grey and greenrep tie, tan shoes, and a tan hat, plusthree pair of socks and a few sundrieslike underwear. What essay prizewinner Tucker Dean will choose is notyet known. According to his recom¬mendations, however, the suit will be“unobtrusively correct in pattern andcolor, meticulously fitted.”George Hartley,Pathology Student,Wins Ricketts PrizeResearch on the body’s defenseagainst disease bacteria today broughtthe annual Howard Taylor Rickettsprize at the University of Chicago toGeorge Hartley, Jr., an assistant inthe Zoller Memorial Dental Clinicand a student of Dr. Paul R. Cannonin the department of pathology.Announcement of the award wasmade by Dr. William H. Taliaferro,dean of the Division of BiologicalSciences. Hartley received his A. B.degree in 1929 and his Master’s de¬gree in 1934 from Stanford Univer¬sity. His home is San Diego, Cali¬fornia.Ricketts PrizeThe Ricketts prize was establishedin 1913 to honor Dr. Howard TaylorRicketts, University of Chicago bac¬teriologist who discovered the typhusgerm and died a martyr to his dis¬covery in Mexico. Awarded annuallyon May 3, anniversary of Dr. Rick¬etts’ death in 1910, the prize is givento a student in the departments ofPathology or Bacteriology for notableresearch.Hartley’s work on the local forma¬tion of anti-vaccinial antibodies bythe skin has to do with marshallingof protective cells to ward off infec¬tious diseases. It has long been be¬lieved that macrophag^es, cells whichdevour bacteria and other noxioussubstances, form antibodies, whichcombat such substances, but proofhas been difficult because of the in¬ability to separate macrophages fromother cells.Inject VirusInducing macrophages to convergeby injecting a substance into the skin.Hartley then injected vaccinia (cow-pox) virus into this area and wasable to show that antibody capable ofneutralizing vaccinia virus appearedbefore it could be demonstrated inthe blood. This indicates that the an¬tibody was formed locally instead ofelsewhere. , Ellis Co-op Serves 160With Food and ActivitiesToday on theQuadranglesObstetrics and Gynecology Confer¬ence.

After com¬pletion of this he plans to continuehis investigative work and to maketeaching and research his career. By JAMES BURTLESince its beginning about two yearsago, the Ellis Student Club co-opera¬tive has grown from relative insignifi¬cance to an organization that is re¬lieving the strain on the pocketbooksof over 160 students and providingthem with a balanced activity pro¬gram as well. Cheaper food—betterfood—more food summarizes the eco¬nomic values of belonging to co-opera¬tives. At the Ellis co-operative, 20meals per week (excluding Sundaynight) are now available at the lowcost of $4.83. Taking advantage of aguaranteed opportunity to work threehours per week will lower the boardcosts to $3.75 as compared with theaverage cost of $6.30 per week foreating elsewhere. Thus, a workingmember of the co-operative can saveabout $30 per quarter or $90 perschool year.Typical MenuThe meals in the Ellis co-op areplanned and prepared by a graduatedietician and an experienced cook.Reference to a typical menu (April20) will give some idea of the qualityof the meals served:Breakfast:Grapefruit Toast and jellyScrambled eggs or cereal Milk, coffeeLimch:Bacon & corn fritters Cottage cheeseFruit cocktailMilkDinner:Roast lamb with dressing MashedMashed potatoes and gp-avy turnipsOrange puffs with orange sauce orMilk Buttered peasBread is always available in un¬limited quantities. Second helpingscan usually be obtained without extracost. Extra glasses of milk may beobtained at the modest charge of 2cents per glass.Co-operatives also have a greatmany other values in addition to se¬curing pecuniary savings for theirmembers. In providing for a broadsocial, educational, and recreationalprogram for its members, the EllisStudent Club has come to be a majorcampus activity. An increase in thenumber of University women in themembership is giving new impetus tosocial activities. On Wednesdays,“fellowship night” is observed bygroup singing, or by having movies,or outside speakers. Usually on Sun¬day evening a light lunch is followedby a social program. The organiza¬tion has also sponsored outings, thea¬tre parties, and a recreational pro¬gram.Democratic PrinciplesThe Ellis Student Club, like allother true co-operatives, is organizedon democratic principles. This meanseconomic as well as political democ¬racy. Each member has one vote andonly one, regardless of how muchKIMBARK THEATRE6240 KIMBARK AVE.PHONE DORCHESTER 8461PAUL MUNI"The Woman 1 Love"— PLUS —JOHN GARHELD"They Made MeA Criminal" money he may have invested in theorganization. 'The membership decideson all broad policies. Small problemsare taken care of by an executiveboard of five members, and a presi¬dent who are elected at the end ofeach quarter. In order to facilitate theadministration of detail, a treasurer,work manager, and secretary are ap¬pointed by the board. These hold officeas long as they perform their dutiesefficiently. The ultimate control, how¬ever, always rests with the member¬ship. Upon the presentation of a pe¬tition, any subject can be discussedand voted on by them. “The Eaters’Digest,” a bi-weekly publication, en¬courages interest in co-operativeproblems by furnishing facts andopinions on controversial issues thatcome before the membership for con¬sideration.To Join Co-operativeIn order to join the Ellis Co-opera¬tive, a student needs only to fill outan application blank and make a $5deposit. This deposit is refundablewhenever a member decides to leavethe organization or at the end of theyear when dividends are usually dis¬tributed on the basis of patronage.Last year’s dividends averaged $2per member. As a part of theirdemocratic policy, co-operatives do notdiscriminate against prospective mem¬bers on the basis of race, nationality,religion, or political affiliation. .\ stu¬dent who belongs to the co-ojierativedoes not have to eat all his mealsthere. He can “sign out” wheneverhe would rather eat elsewhere. Serv¬ing times on week days are: break¬fast 7:20-8:45, lunch 11:45-12:30, anddinner 5:30-6:30. Members who workor are otherwise occupied when mealsare served cc;n ‘ sign in late” provid¬ing that they can arrive within onehalf hour after serving time.Co-operatives are jierforming aservice to the University by makingit possible for many students on alow budget to finance their education.s.Because it wants to make the advan¬tages of co-operation available to asmany students as possible, the KllisCo-operative is planning for an ex¬pansion program to go into effect be¬fore the membership goes beyoml thecapacity of the pre.sent building. .Al¬though plans to take over the Maid-Rite building had to be given up, itis highly probable that a new co-op¬erative will be opened in the Autumnquarter.Any students interested in joiningthe Ellis Co-operative either now ornext fall, should visit the co-opera¬tive at 5558 Ellis, preferably duringmeal time, or call Midway 1921.CLASSIFIEDSUMMER COTTAGE for rent in N.

Fay, Irish Star,Leads South BendersAgainst Chicago.By WALLY ANGRISTPicked to be one of the brighterepisodes of Chicago’s play on thehome courts this season is the matchthat brings together the Maroons andthe Notre Dame tennis artists todayon the varsity courts. Originallyscheduled for 2, the tourney startingtime may be hiked up an hour.Biggest reason for this match be¬ing plugged as one not to miss is aSouth Bend boy named Bill Fay. Thefighting Irish claim to have the bestsquad of the netters they’ve collectedin many a season. Bearing out theirclaims is the fa^'t that N. D. is win¬ning matches—three in a row beforebowing to the usually strong netsquad from Western State. Inciden¬tally, one of the three wins was a 7-2victory over Indiana U.Favor Maroons.Mthough the Maroon squad ispicked by the most dopesters to takethe Irish with a top-heavy score,spectators will see some matchesplayed well from both sides of thenet.Coach Wally Hebert vdll start theregular Chicago squad that went totown on the confident Michigan teaman<l the boys from Madk . who werecredited with trying.

Warren Giedt andBen Pritz took second and third inP’oils, Jack Shreve and Wilson Reillyearned second and third in Epee, andJulian Louis accounted for third placein Sabers. Playing on the wind-swept courtson the summit of Mount Wheaton,the “B” tennis team made a poorshowing to come away with a 3-3 tie.The fact that the squad was not :ntop form is shown by the score of theWheaton-North Central meet. NorthCentral, easy victims of the Maroonracquet wielders, knocked off Whea¬ton to the decisive tune of 5-1.In the number one match. Bob Rey¬nolds was defeated by Howie Moffett,ace Wheaton netman, while on thesecond court Dick Norian turned onthe steam to win a long three setduel with Cheeseboro. After losingthe first set, 6-1, Dick settled downto take the next two sets 6-3, 6-1.“Peak Wheaton’’After chasing all over Wheaton,Glen Ellyn, and the surroundingcountryside to locate courts. Hill andStevens finally settled down to playthe third and fourth singles matchesagainst Blocher and Beattie respec¬tively. After they both rallied to comefrom behind and win their first sets,7-5, they were kicked off the courtsby the high school team. However,after transferring the scene of com¬bat to “Peak Wheaton’’, they bothsettled down to win the second set6-4.With a lead of three matches toone it looked like the third straightvictory for the Maroon visitors, un¬til the doubles knotted the count. Rey¬nolds and Hill, after rallying in thesecond set, lost to Moffitt and Cheese-boro 6-2, 1-6, 6-2. In the finale Nor¬ian and Kogen fell before Blocheiand Beattie, 3-6, 6-4, 6-4. Side Glancesat I-M's* • ♦By LESTER DEANSpring grid practice has broughtrays of hope to the perennially sadheart of Coach Clark Shaughnessy. Atthe end of the woeful 1938 season, itlooked as though ’39 were going to beeven more dismal. All the varsitybacks were graduating except co¬captain Johnny Davenport, and it ap¬peared as though Chicago was goingto have to face its Big Ten competi¬tion with three green sophomores inthe backfield.But, spring experimenting hasproved profitable for Chicago’s foot-Wiedemann SwitchesAward NumeralsSeven numeral awards have beenmade on the basis of spring foot¬ball practice, recently completedthe Athletic department announcedyesterday.

Now only one yearling willhave a chance to earn a first-stringbackfield spot, and even his chancesare not particularly good.Cause for the smiles on Shag’stoil-worn face is the fact that BobWasem, other co-boss, and outstand¬ing end in Big Ten circles last fall,can play just as well in the backfield.He will work at right half, next fall.Another veteran’s work in springpractice has smoothed out Shaugh-nessy’s wrinkled brow. Bob Howard,who worked at the end post, andplayed at tackle and guard last year,has been handling the fullback posi¬tion, and Shag hopes to use him therenext fall.The backfield’s gain, unfortunate¬ly is the line’s severe loss. SwitchingHoward and Wasem into the back¬ground means that the line will havetwo additional yearlings when theseason starts. The burden of stoppingopposition rushes will fall on DaveWiedemann, who, after crashingthrough as a good sophomore tacklelast fall, will probably be switchedto the center of the line.WATCH FOR GRAND OPENINGBLUE CIRCLE GRILL1320 EAST 57th STREET Coach McGillivray Rewarded inImportant Athletic MeetingBy PINCHER CHINCHELLLast week, with great sobriety.Coach Nelson Norgren arose amonghis austere colleagues with the fol¬lowing message.“Gentlemen, it gives me greatpleasure to inform you that with usin this very room, upon this verystaff, we have a man who has dis¬tinguished himself to such a degreethat we cannot allow an opportunityPhi Sigs StrapPsi U “B” 15-0Phi Sigma Delta, Sigma Chi, andAlpha Delta Phi turned in decisivesoftball victories yesterday to prac¬tically clinch first places in their re¬spective leagues.The Phi Sigs won a 15-0 shutoutover the Phi U “B’ behind Cohen’s6-hit pitching and made 26 hitsthemselves.

The fact thatthis led to the arrest of one of ourown colleagues, Kyle Anderson, doesnot belittle the noble act, but ratherenhances its excellence. Thus I con¬fer upon Mr. McGillivray this silverstar as a token of the staff’s appre¬ciation for his good work. I wish,however, to add one more thing. If,honorable McGillivray, you manageto have the rest of this staff arrested,we shall 'onfer upon you the highesthonor, a gold star.’’ Need more besaid?I-M GAMES TODAYKappa Sigma — Phi Sigma Delta“B’’Bacchalians—JailbirdsDelta Upsilon—Phi Upsilon “B”Chi Psi—Phi Psi “B”Barristers—Ellis Students ClubLambda Gamma Phi — PhilosophyClubThe only real Bar-B-Q Pit for milea aroundTOOTSY'SDeliciona Old Southern Style Bar-B-Q RibaTREE DELIVERY6306 MARYLANDPLAZA 6644TENNIS TIME!AND HERE ARE RACKETS THAT WILL ADD PLENTY OF ZIP ANDSATISFACTION TO YOUR GAME.

Thompson, assistant dean ofthe University College downtown. Thesurvey is being conducted jointly bythe Amercan Association for AdultEducation and the National Univer¬sity Extension Association, of whichthe University is a member.Question StudentsThe question quoted above is one ofa group designed to discover who isreached by these extension and cor¬respondence services—not just whothey are, but what their social, eco¬nomic, and cultural backgrounds are.And then by subtraction they will beable to tell what elements of thepopulation are not being reached bythe services. (Extension schools, in¬cidentally, conduct classes for thosewho, for one reason or another, can¬not attend a regular university.)The National University ExtensionAssociation consists of all universi¬ties carrying recognized extensionclasses or correspondence courses,and includes about 45 schools. Tenmember schools from different re¬gion and of different types have beenselected for the study. No results areexpected before the end of the quar¬ter.Another important purpose of thesurvey is to find out if possible howeffective the teaching methods are. Tothis end both teachers and studentsare questioned to see if both have thesame ideas about what they are try¬ing to do.Thompson’s InterestThompson is also interested in therelation of library facilities to exten¬sion study, for the schools want toknow to what extent students arelearning to think for themselves rath¬er than wanting a course in whichthe instructor does all the thinking.There are different questions thatapply to the different types ofschools. For instance, eight of the tenschools are state supported, and pre¬sumably reach levels untouched byother institutions. They want to findout how far this holds true, andwhether state institutions should re¬define their purpose to take care ofnon-high school men.Another question on which it is hop¬ed the survey will throw light is towhat extent private institutions arebound by earmarked funds.

They disapprove of a man whoembarrasses a girl by getting intoxi¬cated, of men who are late for dates,of those who brag about never crack¬ing a book and getting grades by ap¬ple polishing, and of men who offerunsolicited criticism.Telling jokes that might be consid¬ered a trifle shady will put a manon the blacklist, and men who leavetheir dates alone while they talk withsomeone else may count on refusals.And when the coeds have to refuse adate for some reason they find nofavor for men who are rude to them.No mention was made of other fauxpas usually hung on University men—namely a habit of sometimes beingover-amorous. “Rapid Romeo Re¬form” is the motto.Chapel Union HoldsOuting In Dunes(Continued from page 1)small touchball or softball games andwhen night came, someone read poetryaloud by firelight while others playedcards or gathered together in a cor¬ner for a bull session.

OPEN EVES.DORchastar 4800 Hulbert ReadsChaucer, ShowsMethod in TalesJames R. Hulbert, professor ofEnglish, in the first of a series of twolectures on Chaucer yesterday, pre¬ceded his reading of the Nun’s Talewith a short summary of the plan ofthe Canterbury Tale Prologue.He pointed out that although thesources of the tales were very evi¬dent to the scholar the methods thatChaucer used in telling the tales andin connecting the material were ori¬ginal in Chaucer. Hulbert also showedthat the variety present in the Can¬terbury Tales was derived not onlyfrom the variety of characters butfrom Chaucer’s method as well.In a mimeographed paper whichwas presented to the audience, Hul¬bert expressed the opinion that “fora satisfactory reading of Chaucer’spoetry as verse, it is necessary toimitate the pronounciation of his timewhen reading. Only thus can one getthe number of syllables which hemeant in a line and the quality ofvowel sounds which made his rhymesgood.”The paper also contained a guideto the pronounciation of short andlong vowels as well as two-letter vow¬els and consonants. Professor—(Cpiitinued from page 1)standingly effective unless he is mas¬ter of logical, tested principles; butthere are other factors which deter¬mine the success of administrators.One of these is knowing, intuitivelyand from experience, the proper per¬son to see about the particular thingyou are trying to do. Some personsnaturally excel at this: their knackseems to be inborn. Another very im¬portant factor is a sense of timing,knowing when to forge ahead andwhen to mark time until circum¬stances are more propitious. Theseskills are certainly important and, un¬like the ability to think logically,they are not readily imparted by edu¬cational discipline.Complementary FactorsGenerally speaking there are twocomplementary factors which producethe successful administrator; masteryof principle and persuasiveness ofleadership. The two considerationswhich I mentioned in the precedingparagraph, knowing whom to ap¬proach and possessing a sense of tim¬ing, fall in between these two rubricsbut probably adhere more appropri¬ately to the latter than to the former. There is a great deal bound up in thestatement that “persuasiveness” jgthe second, the complementary factor, to mastery of theoretical fovmulation. It is a complex of sheer energy, drive, personality, understanding of other people and ability to capture their enthusiastic participationThe universities can do a far betterjob than most of them are now doingto develop this combination of thingsI have labelled “persuasivenes.s.” Ourteaching methods are largely toblame. Students should participate inintellectual muscle-building to agreater extent than they are nowgiven opportunity for.I must stop my gallivanting, at¬tractive as the by-paths are. Is therean unclosable void between theorj’and practice ? Definitely not. The bestpractice is the best theory. A master;'of principle is like the foundation ofa building—it is not the entire build¬ing but you couldn’t complete thebuilding if it weren’t there. And yetwe must never overlook the fact thathe who would lead others must un¬derstand people as well as knowledge.A great university should contributeto both of these accomplishments, butbasically to the development of men¬tal strength with which to bridge thegap between novel, complex prob¬lems and the soundest principleswhich can be applied to their solu¬tion.ALL COPY FOR 1939 CAP & GOWN IS NOW ATTHE PRINTERS.
