Hutchins and Chicago Marooneditor, Fred Gottesman.Hutchins, in accepting the degree,unique in the world of letters, wrotethe club founder, Jean Jacques Rous¬seau Van Voorhies, that “the thingI need most is the art of worldlywisdom.” “I shall sit up all night toread it through,” Hutchins said ofhis Latin scroll.Last summer, after PresidentHutchins had been granted the Insti¬tute’s Doctor of Frustration degree,along with some other distinguishedmen of the University, Hutchins in¬vited the Boswell group to set up onthe Midway as a college. 'The offerwas accepted, hence the promptnesswith which the newly created degreewas awarded to University people.The Chicago Boswells are pattern¬ed after the original London BoswellClub, initiated to honor James Bos¬well, whose biography of the pon¬derous Cham, Samuel Johnson, 18thcentury literary genius, has becomeone of the world’s biographical clas¬sics. Johnson, author of a “Dic¬tionary of the English Language,”together with Oliver Goldsmith, SirJoshua Reynolds, Edmund Burke,and David Garrick, were originalmembers of the pocund group nearly200 years ago-Avowed purpose of the present dayBoswellians is the annihilation of allbores and the,stamping out of allstuffiness. “Pretense of any form isanathema to us,” declares the or¬ganization’s president.All of the antics of the circle arehilarious with the exception of theawarding of degrees, a serious mat¬ter and always granted to those associated with the literary world.President Roosevelt, Prime MinisterChurchill, and Premier Stalin were(Continued cm page three) Laird BellRobert M.

The University thinclads havealready met and defeated Mortonand North Central in previousdual meets but most of the otherentries are unknown quantities toMerriam. The relay teams ofLawrence, North Central, Wheat¬on and Monmouth were enteredin the Chicago Relays matchedraces, Wheaton winning one relayand Lawrence placing second inthe other.V-12 Helps Some SchoolsLawrence, Beloit, IIT and Ripon allshould turn in strong performances,each school having large Navy V-12Units from which they can draw ma¬terial. With a probable five places ineach event, the possibilities of themeet being very close between threeor four schools is highly probable.Led by newly elected CaptainPaul Russell, the'Maroon travel¬ing squad will include John Bok-man and Howard Bell in the halfmile, Dinklelocker in the sprintsand broad jump, Sjoersma in theshot and pole vault, Fischer inthe relay and hurdles and Stack-bridge in the 880. Coach Merriamwill name the remaining membersof the squad who-will make thetrip today.Chicago is weakened by the tempor¬ary loss of Albert Friedlander andBob Turtelotte who have found itimpossible to go with the squad, butMerriam believes he has an able dashman to replace Turtelotte in Dinkle¬locker. This represents the Maroon’sseventh track meet of the indoor sea¬son with the record standing at 2wins and three defeats and the Ma¬roon’s hapless participation in the BigTen Match.Baseball to BeginAround Mid-AprilWhile the Chicago Baseball teamwill not compete in the Big Ten con¬ference this season, Coach Kyle An¬derson disclosed this week that nego¬tiations are under way for schedulipggames with Big Ten teams and othersmaller universities.The season begins around the15th of April with a strong first team.An airtight infield seems to be shap¬ing up, the outfield looks good, andthe hurling staff and backstop posi¬tions are ably filled. Already theboys have been outdoors for practice,and if the weather holds up. will soonstart to play regularly on the Green¬wood field.WE BUY BOOKSEInquiryiBook Shop1324 E. 57th StreetPlaza 6445 Jack HillTime InWe saw the Chicago Relays at theStadium last Saturday ;eve and asidefrom the slightly better performancesin most events we believe that therecent Big Ten meet at the Field-house was equally as good. The ar¬rangements for the dashes andhurdles at the relays kept every eyeon the lanes but other than that, itwas 50-60.Gunder the Wunder Hagg lookedslightly nonplussed at thq rude el¬bowing which is so common on anarrow board track, and Hagg’s longstride seemed chopped down some forthe boards. He didn’t look like thesame runner we saw at Soldier’s Fieldtwo years ago but according to theexperts he should develop on the woodcircle. It seems only right that heshould, having come from Swedenwith the terrific build-up that he did.Even though Lidman, the hurdler,didn’t hurdle, he was having a fineold time for himself autographing thegirl relay team’s autograph books.They were the giggly type and he cer.tainly didn’t look like the proverbialsober, silent Swede.The Maroon baseball team is work¬ing out every chance that the weathergives them. It would encourage bothKyle and his men if you wanderedaround to take a look at them inpractice. Right now they are behindthe Fieldhouse but as soon as thegrounds are ready they expect tomove over to the Woodlawn field.Some of the boys look very goodand Anderson has an optomistic view¬point if the team can finish withanywhere near the number of menit will start the season with. Chicagocould field a fine nine man team atthe present time but the squad stilllack depth in places and until theweak points are filled in, Coach An¬derson wil be cagy about who theMaroons will play. — THE CHICATO MAROONNew ClubPledge ListsNine of the twelve women’s clubson campus pledged a total of 25 stu¬dents after winter quarter’s rushing,according to a list just released bythe Office of the Dean of Students.Over one-third of these pledges areupper classmen or have been hereprior to the winter quarter.The list is as follows:Alpha Chi ThetaLovadore Stratton.Alpha EpsilonLois Erickson, Lillian Lundgren,Charlotte Schwartz, Lorraine Strobel.Chi Rho SigmaCynthia Beardsley, Dorothy Bore-man, Shirley Petersen, Dorothy Tay¬lor.Delta SigmaElizabeth Reinman, Doris Schroe-der.EsotericAnn Harrington.Phi Delta UpsilonNo list received*Pi Delta PhiNo list received.Quadrangler' No list received.SigmaLorraine Heath (Mrs.), MildredMorgan, Florence Ann O’DonnelLTau Sigma UpsilonLois Gordon, Lois Kaune, GraceLevitt, Phyllis Renberg, FrancesSwimmer.WyvernMary Duffy, Marion Keane.^‘The Chinese Mass EducationMovement” wil be the topic of alecture given by Y.

To the Editor:Concerning the prospective tuition increase, I should like tosuggest that it will bear hardest on me part-time student whoalso works in order to support himself and pay his school expenses.If the student is now carrying one course, his total fees (notcounting laboratory courses) come to $41.00. In the fall, he willowe the bursar a total of $60.00, almost a 50% increase. Thatrepresents a disproportionate increase on the group that is perhapsthe least able to bear it.Federal Aid to EducationLast week’*s action of the Board of Trustees in raising tuitionbrings into sharper focus the plight of not only this University,but all similar privately endowed institutions the country over.To a certain extent, the condition that most universities findthemselves in today is a direct result of government fiscal action.The huge debt, with its subsequent affect on money conditions,has served to lower interest rates to such a level that universityincome decreases sharply even while endowment increases.By this time, it should be apparent to any thinking personthat education, so far as its real value to the community is con¬cerned, must consist of more than mere vocational training. Voca¬tional training is only of individual benefit, inasmuch as it preparesthe individual to participate successfully in the economic life ofthe community and to find necessary economic security. But thisis of negative communal value, since failure to possess economicsecurity makes the individual a communal liability, while posses¬sion of this security does not necessarily mean a communal asset.However, the perpetuation of our democratic system demandsmore than the ability to gain economic security. It requires anenlightened, informed and aware citizenry, who are capable ofexercising the reasonable and necessary responsibilities of thatcitizenship. These qualifications can be attained only througheducation. The universal desire for a happier and fuller existencein a better world cannot be satisfied by training on that primalvocational plane alone; it must be achieved by the broadening ofintellectual horizons, the leit-motif of liberal college education.The lesson to be learned may be gathered in part from theEnglish education system. To be applied to this country, it wouldrequire the following: 1) the creation of a Secretary of Educationon equal footing with other federal cabinet posts; 2) standardiza¬tion of entrance requirements and exams; 3) federal subsidies tostudents based on need and achievements in the national exams;and 4) the power to maintain minimum educational standards inall college level institutions, public or private.Dispelling ConfusionThe student government plan lights its fifth candle thismonth. And after 22 weeks of an endless barrage of drenchingthe campus with publicity, the plan is bogged down amid pettydetails, personality feuds, and an amazing hesitancy to assumethe freedom of action.The candle flickered a bit more brightly this week. In clear-cut and incisive fashion. Dean of Students Lawrence Kimptonpierced the rampant clouds that have enveloped the plan and setforth the first line of action. It is, of course, a tentative andtemporary affair but it marks one of the most significant actionsyet taken. For it is a material, concrete step toward attaining thegoal of a student body opinion organ.Proposed is a six-man committee, to be chosen from interestedstudents, to confer periodically with the administration, to airjoint problems, and to discuss the further ing of more cordial andmore beneficial relations between the administration and facultyand the student body.Dean Kimpton punctured half a dozen of the rumors swarmingabout the plan. It will not control the University purse strings;it will not launch a compaign to purge the campus of fraternities;it will not hire and fire the faculty. But it will carry to thefaculty and to the administration recommendations, grievances,and the aspirations of the students.Of equal import, however, is that the committee be a highlyrepresentative group. It should be constantly reminded that itis temporary and tentative. Above all it must not be permittedto descend to the level of another pressure group or clique.The campus has seen entirely too much of that brand ofpseudo-liberalism in recent weeks. It has had its fill of it. A littleless flaming talk and a little more action appears to be the orderof the day. ' Since that is the state of affairs andit is perhaps too optimistic to expectany changes on that point, I wouldlike to suggest that, in accordancewith the tuition and to help the poorerstudents remain in school and stillkeep a liaison between body and soul,the campus wages for students bematerially increased.It has also been stated that theincrease in scholarship grants wouldmore than offset the tuition increase.Yet a 16% burst in enrollment isexpected (although some of the newstudents will be ex-servicemen), andscholarships will be granted to, only350 more students. Therefore, itseems to me that an expanded andoverhauled scholarship programshould be launched.Irene ConleyHumanitiesIn re: Art CriticsTo the Editor:When people take it upon them¬selves to become critics, they, of nec¬essity stick their necks out. Ill giveanyone credit for this much courage,but when this courage becomes blindone often sticks one’s neck into anoose as I believe the Chicago Marooytart critic has done in her article con¬cerning the etchings of John Sloan.It is useless for me or anyone todispute Miss Harmon’s taste, for ifshe is unable to appreciate the valueof Mr. Sloan’s work it is her own loss.However, in her interpretation of Mr.Sloan’s views and the meanings of hispictures, I feel that the critic hasgrossly misrepresented the artist. Atthe lecture given by Mr. Sloan atMandel Hall before the opening ofthe exhibit I believe he made it veryexplicit that he was opposed to nation¬alism in art or extreme nationalismof any kind. He has done only Amer¬ican scenes for the simple reason thathe has never been out of the countryto see any other scenes. The impres¬sion I received after seeing the exihbitwas that Mr. Sloan wished to expressthe American life of his generationas he felt it in a manner which canbe understood by the layman. If MissHarmon would condemn this I amafraid that I for one fail to understandher attitude. It appears to me thatyour critic is judging the art of twogenerations past in terms of the artof her own generation and due to herethnocentrism is blind to the realvalue of the work.George D. ArmstrongUniversality in art does not presup¬pose a Cook*s Tour of the world. The-“scenery** pictured by the artist isof little importance—the manner andspirit is our concern. When thijAspirit evidences itself in bending tothe cliches of the layman on the NewYorker levels we have reason to becritical, B^N, H.Staff members of The ChicagoMaroon will meet at 3:16 on Tues¬day afternoon in Lexington 6 toelect an editor to succeed FrederickI. Gottesman. Gottesman has edi¬ted the paper since March, 1944,will resign at the end of thisquarter. Lost and Found Dept.To the Editor:On Thursday, March 16, I lost anotebook either in the 10 o’clock lec¬ture in Social Science III at OrientalInstitute or in the Physical SciencesIII lecture in Kent 106 at 11 o’clock.It contains all my winter quarter’swork. Due to my carelessness I cantake my quarterly exams armed onlywith bravado; next quarter I shallhave to re-do all that work in prep¬aration for the comprehensive examsin June. The notebook contains acomplete set of Social Science IIInotes for this quarter, besides all mywork in my other subjects.As soon as I discovered the note¬book was missing, I began searchingfor it- With the kind help of myhousemother and my advisor, 1 haveused every means we could collective¬ly think of to recover it. No “Lostand Found” has it; someone probablypicked it up in one of the lecturehalls, thinking it of no value. I re¬fuse to believe that anyone couldpurposely keep something so essen¬tial to any student.The publishing of this letter is mylast hope.

Of course,the number of men was negligible so we ruefully concentrated on the gentlersex. As you go up to Harper to meet one of your friends, you are sure tofind several of the species studiosa. Ordinarily they are distinguished bythe glasses, pre-occupied look, and the stack of books; their natural surround¬ings are Harper or Classics (we except the Fellow’s Comer where people ofan entirely different stripe are found).

Of course, few people would speak to her, for she dresses asshe believes the proletariat should and often does not wash herself or herhair for weeks (no good reason for that) and talks in speeches. THE CHICAGO MAROONOlson GivesViews on Music iiiMn ■i.iw ...I. ■■■ Page ffv»A Guide To The BefuddledGeorge Hilton(Ed, note. This ia the first of ashort series of interviews vnth certainmembers of the faculty, whose loveand knowledge of music well enablesthem to talk about the meaning andinterpretation of musical works.Others to appear in future issues willinclude Mr, J, J, Schwab, well knownassistant professor of Biological Sci¬ences in the College,')Elder J. Olson, assistant professorof English in the College, is excep¬tionally well qualified to talk aboutmusic interpretation. His work inthe general field of criticism of thearts is very familiar to all Humanities3 students; he is also very interestedin music. His particular composerpreferences run to Chopin, whomhe considers an intimate friend, andBeethoven, “titanic—too much of agenius to consider close to oneself”.To the question, what is it in musicthat we enjoy- Mr. Olson’s views canprove very illuminating. “In the pastnearly all music criticism has dealtmerely with harmonic and melodicstructure. This type of criticism—call it rather grammatical analysis—can never hope to explain the meaningof music. For music is essentially adepiction of something, just as theother arts are, and harmony andmelody are simply the means towardthis depiction.” .But what is it that is depicted inmusic? Surely not lines or geometricfigures, for these are not accessibleto music’s particular medium, sound.Here Mr. Olson gave an abbreviatedaccount of the origin of music in prim¬itive rhythm, tracing it through thedifferentiation of tones and intensityof tone. It is seen that music “imi¬tates directly the passions”, that is,the peculiar character of music is thatthere is no interposition of anythingbetween the object and emotions. Thusit is not the sea that is described inDebussy’s “La Mer”, but feelingsaroused in Debussy on looking at thesea. And a different “program”, thatis description from which the emotionswere aroused, would be permissibleif it resulted in the same quality ofemotion. He cites Schumann’s analy¬sis of Chopin’s la ci darem la manoVariations as an instance of programgeneraliza(tion affording a clue tomusical “form” in this sense.It is then seen that the form of awork could be differentiated on an¬other than a purely technical basis,for example, a particular Chopin pre¬lude differs from an etude not onlybecause the former is a sort of in¬troduction and the latter an exercise,but because they have different emo¬tional qualities. A good work wouldthen be one whose emotional qualities(moods) are of a genuine nature, andfollow each other in a probable way.The annual medical aptitudetests will be given at 3:00 p.m.,April 13 in Kent 106.

He believed that all slaveswho could escape as far as certain Atlantic Coast cities shouldbe emmancipated. This was known as Douglas’ Free Port Doctrine.The citizens of Charleston resented having their city made a freeport and held a demonstration in protest. The war became areality when several shots were fired at a Northern army officernamed Fort Sumpter.Lincoln decided that the War shouldbe waged by starving the rebels. Tothis end he issued his famous Em-maciation Proclamation. To cut offthe South’s food supply, Lincoln or¬dered Sherman to capture Atlanta.Here the South kept its entire foodsupply, consisting of some live stockand several barrels of flour locked inan enclosure. Sherman was orderedto capture the enclosure, lock, stock,and barrel. The enclosure was guard,ed by a Southern belle whom Shermanapparently knew, because he made hisfamous statement to her, ' “We^remarching through, Georgia.” On theinside of the enclosure Sherman foundall the food he expected, plus several"dressed rabbits lying on the sofa.Because they did not look especiallyfresh, Sherman issued his decree“Touch not a hare on yon day bed.”It was, however, the failure ofsouthern credit which eventuallycaused defeat, Pickett’s Last Charge,etc. This was very fortunate, as theSketch-Talk forDames SaturdayMr. Edmund Giesbert, well-knownartist and member of the faculty ofthe University and the Chicago ArtInstitute, will present a program forthe University Dames Saturday-March 25, at Ida Noyes Hall.A graduate of the Chicago Art In¬stitute and winner of the Logan prize,Mr. Giesbert studied at the MasterAtelier of the Academy of Fine Artsin Vienna, and in 1924 was awardedthe master prize of the academy.He will present a popular talk on“Character Studies” illustrating hisremarks with crayon sketches.The meeting will be called to orderat three p.m. on Saturday.
