McKeon(Being comments on The City ofMan: A Declaration on World Democ¬racy, by H. Agar, F. Aydelotte, G. A.Bogese, and fourteen others. NetvYork, Viking Frees, 1940.)Hy RICHARD P. McKEONThe title given by the aeventeen lib¬eral thinkers to their Declaration onWorld Democracy issued late last yearwas doubtless intended to call to mindAugustine’s City of God, but evenwithout that reminder the fashion inwhich the problem is posed and thethesKs by which it is resolved wouldsuggest the contrast of this new pro¬nouncement on the past and destiny ofmankind to its prototype in the greatspiritual reflections which have been adominant influence, though with littlepractical effect, in the thought and ex¬pression of fifteen hundred years.Augustine undertook to show thatthe greatness of Rome had not de¬pended on the gods of Rome and thatits fall conversely was not consequenton the coming of Christianity: to dothis he differentiated two cities, sim¬ilar in the characteristics that makethem a “people" (that is, multitudesof reasonable beings united by thepoisei^Bion of the things they loved),different in the ends they sought andthe "peace" which marked the achieve¬ment of their respective ends—ex¬terior as opposed to interior, temporalas opposed to eternal, science as op-poseii to wisdom. For Augustine theCity of God is radically opposed to theTerrestrial City, and yet may give di¬rection to it, for the City of Godmarches to its eternal destinies withinthe framework of the Terrestrial City,with which it is intermingled in thepresent life.Where Augustine worked with twouniversalisms, one dependent on thenature of man in the Empire anddoomed to failure through men’s ig¬norance of justice, the other depend¬ent on God and destined to succeed be¬cause of faith, the signers of the newDeclaration try to reduce all diversi¬ties to a unity based on the nature(Continued on page three) . . little reason neededAgar Lectures inMandel TonightHerbert Agar, editor of the Louis¬ville Courier Journal and Times authorand Pulitzer Prize Winner, will dis¬cuss, "The Press and National Unity"In a public lecture tonight at 8 inMandel Hall under the auspices of theCharles R.

Irving Pflaum, . , for the GreeksHutchins ClaimsDraftAge Precisely Wrong^Glamour KidsBack; HappyBut "So TiredA lot of fun and very little sleepwas had by all, according to GlamourKids Donna Culliton and Ray Oakley,fresh from their whirlwind New 0 r-leans Mardi Gras trip. Oakley, betterknown as “Annie" or ‘“The Beanpole”to Phi Delt brothers, left a week agoFriday afternoon after a hilarioussend-off and Donna followed himsouth on Sunday being held up by asmall matter of three weddings andthe Washington Prom.Stops at historic Vicksburg andNathez added interest to the trainride which according to Oakley was"full of holiday spirits, liquid and oth¬erwise."Off to BiloxiAfter reaching New Orleans lateSaturday night Oakley was whiskedoff to Biloxi by way of Gulfport andbad lunch at the popular resort hotelBuena Vista.Mortar Board Donna arrived Mon¬day morning and the two saw theFrench Quarter on a formal tour andafterward did a little investigating ontheir own. That night they took insuch famous night spots as the OldAbsinthe House (reputed hangout ofJean LaFitte) and Tuggey’s FamousDoor. “The minimum draft age, 21, seemsto me just precisely wrong," saidPresident Robert M. Hutchins in aI speech recently before the American[ Association of Junior Colleges at adowntown hotel. “It conforms to norecognizable physiological, social, oreducational theory," he continued."The time for military service," saidthe president, “is the time at whichthe student has completed an educa¬tional program. The logical programfor them to complete is that of thejunior college. They should then havetheir year of military training."“Men should be drafted at the pointat which there is a real break in theireducation or a real division betweeneducation and entrance into activelife,” said Mr. Hutchins.Arguing that Junior colleges shouldbe a part of secondary schools andthat there should be no break betweena student’s entrance into the juniorcollege course from secondary school,president Hutchins asked for a re¬vision of the present educational sys¬tem.“One of the numerous curses of edu¬cation is the duplication that occurs inpassing from one unit to another." Therevisions he suggested would enable astudent to complete his general educa¬tion at the end of his junior collegecourse and receive his bachelor’s de¬gree.“General education is preparationfor citizenship. Preparation for cit¬izenship requires first of all under¬standing the civilization in which welive. Understanding the civilization inwhich we live involves in turn under¬standing the ideas that have animatedand formed it. Such preparation forcitizenship was never so necessary as now.” Consequently, he feels, such aneducation “is the best national de¬fense.”Edgerton Speaks onDevelopment ofEgyptian WritingAn illustrated lecture on the “De¬velopment of Writing in Ancientgiven in the JamesHenry Breasted lecture hall of Orient¬al Institute Thursday by Dr. WilliamF.

Hebeat out Gene Englund, spark-plug ofthe championship Wi.scon8in squad,by four points.Scared IndianaIn helping their captain to his title,the Maroons threw a scare into thecocky Indiana crew, leading up untilthe 14th minute of the first half, be¬fore finally going down to defeat, 49to 33, for their twelfth consecutiveBig Ten loss.Although Stampf was the personalhero of the game, big Jack Fons wasthe driving force of the team. A con¬stant threat with his power plays infrom the corner for set-up shots, Fonsplayed his best game last night.39 FoulsWith good old “Fifth Down” JohnGetftwM- officiating, the game was an¬other knock-down and drag-out affairwith 39 fouls called and at least twiceas many not called. Getchell is un¬doubtedly the worst official to appearon the Fieldhouse court this season.The Maroons started out like ahouse afire passing Indiana after thefirst three minutes and held the leadfor a long time before the Hoosiers’class began to tell. Much of the win¬ners’ “class,” however, consisted ofputting three men on Stampf androughing him up as much as possible.They succeeded admirably all during(Continued on page four)Page Two THE DAILY MAROON.

The administration of the University couldprefer charges against its fellow schools andprovoke a thorough investigation of their ath¬letic activities. Such an investigation should notbe of the kind undertaken in the past. Its pur¬pose should not be to whitewash the records ofall of the schools, but to attempt seriously toget rid of the subsidization which all students,many alumni, and most of the interested publicrealize exists in schools in the Big Ten.By such means, Chicago would be able tofind opponents of its own calibre and of its ownreputation. It would be able to compete withthem on a proper level of emphasis, realizing' the values which exist in intercollegiate ath¬letics and suffering none of the evil effects ofthe present system.Not QuixoticBOARD OF CONTROLEditorialWILLIAM HANKLA PEARL C.

Reynolds, and DanielWinofirad.BUSINESS ASSOCIATESRobert Dean, Lyle Harper, and Myles Jarrow.Night Editor: Jim BurtleFight Back-Don't Walk OutWhen the University of Chicago walked outof Big Ten football last winter, PresidentHutchins and the Board of Trustees performedan act of cowardice. Undoubtedly they thoughtthat they were doing the gentlemanly thing.They were making no allusions to the athleticmorality of other schools. They were simplyeliminating any potential cause of our own im¬morality. Undoubtedly, though, if what Mr.Hutchins said by implication in his address tothe students was true, they did think that whatwas going on in the Big Ten was immoral, andinconsistent with what a University should do.If what was going on in the Big Ten waswrong, then we certainly should not have con¬tinued to do wrong with the other schools. Butsimply by being an object lesson of virtue, wehad no chance of persuading the other schoolsin the Big Ten to be virtuous. They were enjoy¬ing, whether justly or not, the fruits of big-time semi-pro football. To prevent them frombeing unethical we should not have simply satback complacently and said, “Look at us. We’re^tter than you.” We should have fought theevil, straightforwardly, and tried to shame theother schools into returning to the kind of in¬tercollegiate competition which the foundersof the Western Conference intended.Missed a ChanceWe failed to do that then—Mr. Hutchinsand the Board of 'Trustees missed a chancewhich intellectual integrity should have com¬pelled them to take. Today, however, we haveanother chance. The same questions whicharose last fall are rising again. The wolves arebeginning to howl, and the downtown papershave already bannered headlines predictingwhat Chicago was going to do about basketball.On the basis of somewhat flimsy evidence—aquite casual reported conversation of this writ¬er with Mr. Hutchins, in fact—they have de¬cided that the University is going to drop out ofthe Big Ten in the Cage sports as well as infootball.We hope that the University is not simplygoing to drop out of Big Ten basketball. Itwould have failed again to attempt to teach amoral lesson—it would have failed again todemonstrate by more than example what inter¬collegiate athletics should be like.It is almost certain that Mr. Hutchins andthe Board of Trustees think that intercollegiateathletics are worthwhile, if they are ordered ina proper relation to a curriculum of studies.They cannot, nor do we think, they would betempted to, deny their valuable effects. State¬ments of those values have been made trite byrepetition and justification.Find Competition Probably at first, any effort to effect suchdrastic reform would be called Quixotic and theUniversity would be accused of tilting at wind¬mills. But, of it were undertaken with complete-I ness and seriousness, it could either cause aI sensible reorganization of athletics and elimi-! nation of subsidization, or at least it would re-! veal the complete hypocrisy of the other univer-I sities, a hypocrisy which they would have toi disavow soon.E. S. L.(In another editorial tomorrow we will at¬tempt to state some means by which the Uni¬versity can achieve such an end. At this time,however^ we should like to point out that wethink it stupid for the University to drop outof intercollegiate competition in basketball, andstill stay in the Big Ten. It is completely ridicu¬lous to avoid competition in the major sports,and vie for such titles as gymnastics, waterpolo, and fencing, in ivhich our competitiorsare only a fragment of the schools participat¬ing in the major sports. We should work forconditions so that we can participate in allsports, but if we cannot achieve that end, weshould withdraw from such competition.)E. S. L.They are right, however, when they statethat intercollegiate competition is only valu¬able when the teams we compete with are ofour own calibre.Our purpose should be, under the circum¬stances, not to say we cannot find schools of ourown calibre and quit altogether, but to makesuch competitors available.There are three ways by which we can makeour teams equal to those of our competitors.We can subsidize our players, as they do. Wemust rule this out as unethical, though, for Mr.Hutchins has stated most convincingly..Secondly, we can leave the Big Ten and playsmaller schools which do not subsidize or which,if they do subsidize, only get the second-ratesemi-pros. This is undignified for a Universityas important as Chicago, and, as Mr. Hutchinshas also pointed out eloquently, it might be agreater disadvantage to us than not compet¬ing at all. The Traveling BazaarBy DICK HIMMELWell,. . . the last big week-end of the winter quarter ia over.Mirror was over the week-end with the Phi Psi and PsiII and Beta parties on Friday night and the AlphaDelts on Saturday night and the Wyverna nursing hang¬overs at a tea dance on Sunday.Mirror. . . was fun. The cast loosened up on Saturday matinee.The generally acknowledged sadde.st skit in the showwas “Dearly Beloved” starring and written by alumnusMilt Olin. Olin it seems was not too popular with thecast. Friday night they decided something would haveto be done with the skit. Helen Pearce and Tommy Clar-age were the goats. Playing the bride and groom thatwhipped out of Bond Chapel in the middle of “DearlyBeloved,” Pearce was in a perfect spot to knock offOlin’s top hat, which he wore to a) conceal his thinninghairs, b) to make his height adequate to Ruthie Weh-lan’s. So Friday night Pearce tore out of Bond Chapel(Mandel Hall replica), flicked her Angers and there wasOlin’s hat on the floor. And there was Olin thinning andshrinking before the large audience. Saturday matineeDum Dum Wilson decided it was his turn so he put onhis red wig. Stuck his head up through the trap door inthe middle of Olin’s song and said, “Oops, sorry. Wrongskit.”Stage Hands. . . were better chorus boys than stage hands. Saturdayevening and matinee they danced out from each wingin back of the Mirror chorus with the neatest littleshuffle off to buffalo step you’ve ever seen.Hattie Paine Hahn. . , Announced her expectant motherhood during theshow Friday night. She and “Killer” expect their heirnext September. They were married last December.Don’t worry, it all flgures out to the month. Hattie keptstopping the show. Saturday night she had to take twoencores. First she sang her new song “Daphne is a Deb”came back for a chorus of “Glamour Girl” the applausecontinued until she had to sing the second and dirtiestverse of the song. . . . Carolyn Vick in the bell chorushelped that dance routine stop the show. With such en¬thusiasm she rang her little bells. She was terrific . . .The back stage babies deserve a lot of credit for theirwork. They are as it were the unsung heroines. Peoplelike Jane Moran, Genevieve Hackett, Marge Brooks,Libby McKee, etc. did all the hard work like dressingpeople and things . . . Chloe Roth was the sight of theweek sitting behind a flat working a telegraph clickerwith Chollo, Grant Atkinson's pint sized dog in her lap.Chollo later made a spectacular appearance in “Dearlyj Beloved” . . .

BergnsI would like to take issue with acommunication appearing in yourpages last Thursday, February 27signed by one Perez de Sola Zagorin.Perhaps it would be just as wellto state at the outset that the writeris of Hellenic descent and a commun¬icant of the Greek Orthodox Church.After perusing that plethora ofparty-line perfidy and communistclaptrap that Mr. Zagorin was pleasedto submit, the writer can come to butone conclusion: That Mr. Zagorinthinks, or thinks he thinks, that theGreeks are a depraved and degeneratepeople, given to fascism and slaughterand totally unworthy of any aid or re¬lief that the wishy-washy liberals areprone to give them.No Use For Ruling CliqueThe writer has no more sympathyw’ith or loyalty to that clique whichwas led by Metaxas and is now rulingthe Greeks than has Mr. Zagorin. Hesimply does not understand how suchconsiderations enter into an effort ofthe kind that the Youth for Democ¬racy organization is seeing fit to getbehind—namely, material aid to apeople suffering by way of that catas¬trophe known as total war.The rally to be held on campus isnot to be an exhortation to .Americanyouth to lay down their lives for theglory that was Greece, but an attemptto raise money for the fund of theGreek War Relief Organization—mon¬ey for food and medicine. People inGreece are suffering for lack of thesethings, and human suffering is not,according to either Christian ethics ordialectic materialism, a good thing.It is, to say the least, a little difficultto see how a bona fide attempt to helpalleviate suffering can be a bad thing.Consider Home NeedsThe writer realizes that some ofthis compassion might well be sparedfor that third of our own nation whichis ill-fed, ill-clad, and ill-housed. Thewriter will be only too willing to musewith Mr. Zagorin at any time he seesfit as to the vagaries of a human na¬ture which can close its eyes to thesocial agony which lies close at handwhile getting enthused over aid to aforeign people thousands of milesaway.Is, however, Mr. Zagorin such anardent nationalist as to believe thatAmericans are the only ones in needof or worthy of material aid?—thatall foreigners, Greeks, particularly,are incapable of suffering in that ex¬quisite sense in which an Americancan suffer? Does Mr. Zagorin doubtthe fact that all people, regardless ofnationality or geographical setting4 mONTM TNTEHSrVE COUKSIeOK COllECE STUDENTS AND GKADUATM or form of government, are prettymuch the same as we are and thatany aid that we c<*n extend to lessenpain on the part of any people any¬where and at any time should be ex¬tended ?Resents VillificationThe writer also resented the epi¬thets and generalizations thrown atthe Greek Orthodox Church and theclumsy way in which Mr. Zagorin at¬tempted to villify—while pretendingnot to villify—the saintlike and hu¬manitarian Archbishop Athenagoras.The writer feels that were Mr. Za¬gorin to seek his information fromsources other than his own bitterimagination and the editorial columnsof the Daily Worker he might morereadily appreciate the peculiar his¬torical position of all the Easternchurches—the position of being es¬tablished and being consideredbranches of government and beingused by their particular governmentsto further the ends of that govern¬ment, be they good or ill. Even werehe to grant that the Orthodox Churchis in itself an iniquitous institution,the writer still could not see how thatfact enters as a bar to any effort wemight make to succour a sufferingpeople just because they were unfor¬tunate enough to have been deluded.Mr. Zagorin’s viewpoint is not new.We heard it expressed against at¬tempts to aid the suffering Finnish,who were, according to those of Mr.Zagorin’s stripe, unworthy of assist¬ance because their leader was afascist. Were the South to be decim¬ated by a major earthquake, Mr, Za¬gorin would be against sending anyhelp to that region — because theyhave lynchings there.WAA ElectionThere will be balloting today inIda Noyes corridor for WAA offi-cers.

TUESDAY. MARCH 4. 1941 Page ThreeDean McKeon Reviews"The City of Man"(Continued from page one) , ^^toward leadership in democracies butiind aspirations of men but to preserve | which in the past they have seldommade wisely or effectively, and it pre¬sents the problems of democracy interms suited to the analysis of min¬utiae and details anticipated or plan¬ned for the world which might emergefrom the present crisis.In the second place these problemsare stated, not only in terms of theeconomic injustices which are usuallyconsidered the basic and frequentlythe only problems of the modernworld, but rather economic, political,international, social, religious, educa¬tional problems are all related in asingle intellectual formulation whichthe signers propose to refer for treat¬ment to four committees of experts.That formulation includes (1) the re¬lation between democratic governmentand individual liberties, (2) the rela¬tion of the community as a whole tothe separate churches (and the prob¬lems of education are, not too hap¬pily, assimilated to the problems ofreligion), (3) economic problems, and(4) problems of international rela¬tions.These rare virtues are balanced bytwo dangers which the members of thecommittee have doubtless already en¬countered in their discussions. In thefirst place, it is dangerous, even whenthe source of truth is science and rea¬son, to insist on any statement of thetruth as unique and inescapable prin-I ciples. Even the reinterpretation ofthe "blasphemy against the HolyGhost" to bring out its bearings on |man and the diatribe against it (p. 35) ;savors of the old inquisitorial spirit, jThere probably were never suppres-'8 ions of freedom in which men werenot convinced that reason and the'common good supported the measures Iin some fashion, and the reliance on jreason cannot, while it continues ra- jtional, be protected by any other force jthan proof and persuasion. Once lib-1erty of thought and expression are jprotected by denying them to those'this unity from the blank uniformitiesof totalitarianism, despotism, and reg¬imentation. Even liberalism and reli¬gion, which might have furthered thedevelopment of man in knowledge andin spirit, are shown in a long and im¬pressive bill of particulars to have con¬tributed to the degradation and en¬slavement of man, and the new Dec-iaration can survey, as substitute foran impotent empire, only the long his¬tory of Christian endeavor which hasnever resulted in “a wholly Christiansociety” and the long history of dem¬ocratic aspiration which has never re¬sulted in "a total democracy orderingall activities of life over any greatarea of space and time” (p. 28). Thesolution can no longer consist in theseparation of two cities, which are ina like pass in their temporal manifes¬tations; rather the multiplicity of en¬deavors that had been ordered by re¬ligious, political, and economic groupsand clas.ses are to be subordinated toa single plan under what the signers(.all_in a phrase that has unhappyechoes in the dictatorship of the pro¬letariat—"the dictatorship of human¬ity.” Unity is to be achieved by thethree basic principles of Democracy:law, equality, and justice; "DemocracyIS nothing more and nothing less thanhumanism in theocracy and rationaltheocracy in universal humanism" (p..13).There are many statements andeven more unstated implications whichare enheartening in the eloquent pre¬sentation of this thesis. Two of thesedeserve particular prominence. In thefirst place, the problem v;hich democ¬racy faces is well stated in terms ofthe contrast of the energy, efficiency,discipline, and conviction of despotismsto the weakness, lack of purpose, pow¬er, and aim which has been discernedin democracies. To the centralizeddrive which is practicable when ob¬jectives are authoritatively imposed,the Declaration seems to oppose a con¬fidence in the greater effectiveness oftruth rationally determined and in itseventual spread to replace errors andpartial truths imposed by force. Sucha statement of the opposition has twoimportant consequences: it directs at- democracies will degenerate into asimple opposition of rival efficiencies.Doubtless there are truths accessibleto men, and possibly there is a singletruth, but democracies are based onthe conviction that truths and thetruth are better insured by guaran¬teeing freedom for their pursuit thanby consolidating what seems to be trueat any moment or on any grounds bymeans of decree and imposition.A program for democracy must de¬pend on the power and flexibility im¬provised within it in times of crisis;if the democratic organism does not iimprovise it will not be saved by"principles” discovered and enunciatedfor democracy, for there is no term orproposition central or sacred to de¬mocracy which could not be made theslogan of a new extension of fascism.The history of institutions that ap¬proximate to what has been meant by“democracy" suggests that it standsless in need of the "redefinition" pro¬posed (p. 33) than of formulation offashions in which men may cooperatepolitically, socially, and intellectuallywithout complete agreement on phil¬osophic and moral tenets. The Consti¬tution of the United States was drawnup and put into effect by men who, tojudge from their writings, would havehad great difficulty agreeing on the“first principles” of a political phil¬osophy or even the definition of thefunctions of government, and positiveexamples of such effective cooperationmay be supplemented by equally nu¬merous negativo instances.
