Delegates were unanim¬ous in formulating the aims ofthe national student association tobe created as the progiotion ofstudents’ common interests.These include the extensionof systems of internationalstudent exchange and travel,the extension of wider sys¬tems of publication of ad¬vances of knowledge in thepure, natural, industrial andsocial sciences, the establish¬ment of democratic forms of.student government on allcampuses as the basis fortraining In democratic princi¬ples and practices, the elimi¬nation of racial, religious, orother discrimination in educa¬tional opportunity, and thepromotion of the widest pos¬sible understanding and goodtiill between students, bothwitnin the unned States andbetween the students of thevarious nations of the world.The National ContinuationCommittee of the Chicago Stu¬dent Conference was created tocarry on the work of the Chi¬cago Student Conference and toprepare for the constitutionalconvention.

Healso contended that the bestway to avoid future destruc¬tion in an atomic war wouldbe t hrough world govern¬ment. World government cancome into existence only ifthere is a common bond be¬tween the peoples of the world.Hutchins n-tated his belief thatthe best form of this commonbond is revealed in the great worksof the human mind and spirit andthat a world community mightarise if all the peoples of the earthwould unite in the study of thesegreat works.The task before us is a colossaleducational task, Hutchins con¬cluded. He also said that he feelsthat the Great Books program ofthe University and EncyclopediaBritannica is a part of the an¬swer. This program must bespread throughout the world byall of the educational and com-municational resources of theUnited States if it is to be suc¬cessful.

Colwell’saddress at the Board of Trustees’annual dinner for the faculty ofthe University, presented at theSouth Shore Country clubWednesday evening.)THE NEW AMERICANUNIVERSITY AND THEUNIVERSITY OF CHICAGOThe discussion of the philo¬sophy of education is not the solecause of change in educational in¬stitutions. We academicians aredevoted to the creation and ex¬ploration of theory and hypothesis.Thus we often overlook the im¬portance of other forces in theestablishment of new patterns ineducation and of new types ofeducational institutions.The freshman che^mistry pour.sein the majority of America^ uni¬versities presents a clear contemp¬orary example. Arguments pro andcon as to the importance of ex¬tensive laboratory work in the firstcollege course in chemistry havebeen hurled about by the protag¬onists of rival educational theor¬ies for years without a clear de¬cision for either side.

Hutchins yes¬terday made public his annual re¬port, “The State of the Univers¬ity.”Pointing out that the principal“problem” facing American uni¬versities during the last year hasbeen the accommodation of 800,-000 veterans and, frequently, theirv^ives and children, Hutchins an-noi^ced that, at the University ofChicago, where 5,000 veterans areenrolled, a rough approximationof the space needed has been pro¬vided through such agencies asPre-fabricated housing and “doub¬ling up” in existing facilities.Further, concerning veterans, hedeclared that, since all enteringstudents must take entrance ex-oniinations to deternpne theira.bility to do university work, mostof the abuses of the historic op¬portunities found in the G.I. Billof Rights do not arise, and ratherthan relaxing requirements forveterans, the intense competitionw enter the University and remainthere has forced the requirementshigher than ever.Increase Staff ProblemThe problem of increasing thestze of the staff to handle thisextra enrollment has been met bythe deans, who, by dint of longhours of ^Tavel and correspond¬ ence, recruited a large number ofnew faculty members who fullymeet the standards of the Uni¬versity of Chicago. To provide thenecessary desk r^m and livingspace for these n^ faculty mem¬bers, a faculty housing project,housing 140 families, has beenplanned and financed“Natural” ExpansionWith the statement that “so farth University has been able to re¬sist the temptation to miscellane¬ous expansion,” Hutchins assertsthat new developments have grownnaturally out of work already inprocess. 'The most spectacular ofthese are the three institutes ofNuclear Studies, Metals, andRadiobiology and Biophysics, allresulting from the University’sparticipation in the atomic-bombproject. Other developments haveresulted in the center for the studyof municipal planning under Rex-ford Guy 'Tugwell, ex-governor ofPuerto Rico and Professor of Poli¬tical Science, The GoldblattBrothers Foundation, which haspledged $1,000,000 for the erec¬tion of a new cancer researchcenter, and a faculty committeeheaded by Dean Richard P. Mc-Keon which will attempt to clari¬fy issues relating to world gov¬ernment.Though the average facultysalary has risen 15-40% sincethe war began, the cost of liv¬ing has far out-stripped theseraises. To right this situation. President Colwell recom¬mended to the Board of Trus¬tees that an appropriation bemade for salary increases. Be¬cause of the uneveness of sal¬aries in the University, it wasthough unwise to make a flatpercentage increase and thisappropriation has been used totake care of emergencies.The Encyclopedia Britannica,an affiliate of the University since1943, will pay an estimated $400,-000 in royalties to the University^for the 1946-47 period. Since itsaffiliation with the University,Encyclopedia Britannica, includingits subsidiary, Encyclopedia Bri¬tannica Films, nas rapidly ex¬panded. One of the projects itundertook was the publication ofa set of Great Books of the West¬ern World to appear in June. 1948with Hutchins as editor-in-chief.Adult Education ImportantSince the Central Administra¬tion with President Colwell at itshead was doing such a good jobof, in effect, operating the Uni¬versity, Hutchins felt that hisservices were more urgently re¬quired by the Great Books projectand the Board of Editors. There¬fore, he applied for and wasgranted leave of absence for ninemonths beginning October 1, 1946.Since that date, Colwell has ex¬ercised the powers of Chancellor.Hutchins asserts, in this r^ort,that his principal interest at the moment is the education of adultsand he feels that one of the mostpromising developments in thisfield is the groups for study ofthe Great Books which are nowspreading over the country, hav¬ing grown from 160 students inChicago three years ago to thepoint where there are now 6,000people studying ths books in Chi¬cago, Indianapolis, Cleveland, andDetroit at a total out-of-pocketcost to the University of only $10,-000.Compromise on ahe Ph.B.In addition to demonstratingthe effectiveness of the adminis¬trative organization Hutchinsavers that the year has revealedthe possibilities of the faculty or¬ganization, the Council, whichconsists of 51 elected and five ex-officio members. The chief pointof difference arising between theCouncil and the College represent¬atives during the year was the dis¬pute over the Ph.B. degree. TheCollege voted to eliminate this de¬gree on the grounds that such spe¬cialization was unwise. A Coun¬cil majority, however felt thatadequate preparation for the di¬visions and schools required suchspecialization. Hutchins vetoedthe Council’s action on this pointsince, he felt, it departed fromUniversity policy, which has beento encourage the College to workout an integrated program ofliberal education.

In addition to refreshments,hostesses from various girls’ dormson campus will be present to en¬tertain and to keep lonely cam-pusites from that lost feeling.To date, the dances have beenvery successful, and there is everyindication, according to MarvBailin, that they will continue tobe informal, lively and fun. Jones and HallamThe TravelingBazaarInter-Club HasBall PlannedFor January 24Interclub Council has an¬nounced plans for the anhual In¬terclub Ball to be held Friday,January 24, at the Saddle andCJycle club. Music will be providedby Eddie James and his band.All active club members maysecure bids through their re¬spective clubs and alumnae maybuy bids by contacting theirclubs. As in past years, the ac¬tive members of Nu Pi Sigma,women’s senior honorary society,are invited as guests of thecouncil. Ellen Bransky, councilpresident, asks that members ofEsoteric contact her for theirbids. Due to a throat infection and a quick trip to the hospital thusual editor of the Bazaar Miss Joan Turnbloom did not show. Andsince we had to use her notes for part of our info, we beg you to bearwith us in such matters as spelling and what not. So if you happento turn up at a party at which you weren’t and with a gal that yondidn’t take, please don’t come dashing in and tell us that your wife isabout to sue you for a divorce. We’ll bet that you couldn’t read herwriting either. So this week you have a guest editor, and a hellavaa way to treat a guest. We were routed out of the sack in the (ugh)morning to write this column. But despite these seemingly insur¬mountable obstacles we will carry on.Those who took the fatal step, over the holidays, got married incase you were thinking of anything else, were Megan Evans andHomer Scott Christmas Eve at Cambridge, and Dick Royce to LuanneSmyth. And in the same vain, but not so drastic are those who just tooka small step in the wrong direction. The happily engaged couples are:Fran Baltzell to George Hendricks, Marcon Heinrichi to Jim Kerivinioff, M. E. Davis to we know not whom, (honest to God that’s whatit says in the notes) Joey Whitecotten to Max Biggs, Tede Evans toLee Mahood. If you can’t recognize the names of any of these peopledon’t be too surprised, we can’.t even find most of them in the StudentDirectory. Come to think of it, they would look a little silly in there,but on with the tripe.

This draftwill be presented to I-O Wednes¬day for reading and explanation.The constitution as it will bepresented follows the lines of thecompromise suggested when thetwo original proposals clashed.It authorizes the establishment ofa legislature which will seat onerepresentative for each two hun¬dred students. This representativemust be a member of the divisionor school that he represents. Inaddition, all divisions must haveat least one member seatedwhether or not they possess twohundred students. House membersare to be elected henceforward thefifth week of the autumn quar¬ter and will hold office for oneyear.In addition, the studentbody will also elect a presi¬dent, vice-president, secretaryand treasurer of the organiza¬tion. This is a change fromthe o r i g i n al plans whichwould have had these officerselected from the floor of thehouse.The constitution also providesfor the establishment of a coun¬cil. This group 'will consist oftwelve members, one from each ofthe various types of organizationson campus and in addition, oneliaison member from the houseplus the president of student gov¬ernment. The group is entrustedwith the various administrativefunctions as well as the power ofveto and the power to recommendlegislation to the house. However,all vetos of the council may besuperseded by a house vote of atleast two-thirds majority.The third important provi¬sion of the constitution is thepower it reserves for the stu¬dent body at large. Two per¬cent of the student body, orten percent of the students inany division or school may, ifthey desire, petition for actionan any measure. In case ofsuch a petition, student gov¬ernment must take action onsuch a measure wiihin amonth.

Moss is on recordas having voted against McCahey,Kelly-appointed board of educa¬tion chairman, In the earlymonths of his term of office. Thisanti-Kelly stand was reversedsoon afterwards however and hevoted to uphold the rest of theKelly-McCahey apointments tothe schoolboard.

You will say that it isn’t even news, and one ofthe most frightening things about the present situation isthat to judge from the papers and radio you will be right.A year and a half ago we all ran for the nearest exit shout¬ing, “There must never be anotherwar; we must have world govern¬ment right away; save civiliza¬tion”; and day after day the agen¬cies of mass communicationpointed out that we could now de¬stroy ourselves in so cheap, spec¬tacular, swift, effective and horri¬ble fashion that at last somethingreally significant would have tobe done about introducing law intothe world and reforming the pe¬culiar animals who inhabit it.But apparently you can getused to anything. We havenow returned to our normaloccupations and - preoccupa¬tions. We have lately been ab¬sorbed in Christmas shopping,the coal strike, the wickedness .of the Ri:$sians, the fate ofTweedledum and Tweedledee,by which I mean of course,the Democratic and Republi¬can parties, and the prospectsof reduced taxation. We havesucceeded in forgetting whatwe all know, that the atomicbomb hangs over us and thatit alters the whole outlook oflife in America.Let me tell you what we allknow. 1. There is no defenseagainst the atom bomb. The onlydefense is not to be there whenit 'goes off. 2. In a war in whichboth sides have atomic bombs thecities of both sides will be de¬stroyed. 3. Since one to ten atomicbombs can reduce any city in theworld to ashes, it will not help usmuch to have more atomic bombsthan an enemy country. 4. Supe¬riority in land, sea, and air forceswill mean little. The atomic bombis a weapon directed against civil¬ians. The economy which sup¬ported the military can be wipedout before the military can getstarted. 5. Our monopoly of theatomic bomb cannot last morethan five years.Bigger and Cheaper BombsIt is obvious, though perhaps notso well known, that future bombswill be cheaper, bigger, and better.It is a fair guess that greateremphasis will be laid in the futureon the production of radioactiverays than on the production of ablast. ITie radioactivity from Bi¬kini reached the United States indetectible strength in the space ofone week. If it were possible toincrease the radioactivity one hun¬dred thousand or a million times,an enemy could make the UnitedStates uninhabitable by droppinga bomb or two off the PacificCoast. A bomb of the kind we havenow, planted at the bottom of NewYork harbor, might cover the citywith lethal spray if it explodedwhen the wind was right. Someindication of the present pow’er ofthe radioactivity developed by thebomb is given by the second Bikinitest, where ships were contami¬nated within a radius of a mileand a quarter. The Joint Chiefsof Staff Evaluation Bi>ard said:“The contaminated ships-becameradioactive stoves and would haveburned all living things aboardthem with invisible and painlessbut deadly radiation.*’Now, thanks to the scien¬tists, the United States isvulnerable from every quarter bombs which may be plantedby enemy agents, involvementin very slight dislocations maylead to the destruction of allour cities. The United Statesnow has no choice. It is in¬volved with the rest of theworld whether it likes it ornot.And it is Involved in a very un¬fortunate way. The gift of scienceand technology to our country hasall the aspects of a volcano in thehome. We have the most to lose,and we could lose it- more quicklyand completely than any nationwith which we are likely to be atwar. If you were doomed to die bystarvation, as half of Europe andAsia now seem to be, death bythe atomic bomb might be apleasure. Our cities are moredensely populated and more im¬portant to the economy than thoseof‘Russia. Our form of govern¬ ment requires us to give long no¬tice that we are about to go towar. It is not too much to say thatbefore the atomic bomb no coun¬try or combination of countriescould have hoped to conduct a suc¬cessful attack on the UnitedStates. Our scientists and engi¬neers have put in the hands of ourpotential enemies the means ofour own destruction.No Hope in Atomic ControlAgreements for the internation¬al control of atomic energy, whichare absolutely imperative, willmerely guarantee, if they are ef¬fective that the next war will endwith atomic bombs instead of be¬ginning with them. If these agree- ‘ments are ineffective, they willsimply increase the value of theelement of surprise which theatomic bomb has added to thearsenal of the aggressor.But let us suppose that in some way or other we avoid anothermajor war. What is going to hap,pen to us then?The use of atomic energyfor heat, power, and light isjust around the corner.

High pressure syntheses have also par¬ticipated in a major way in the devel¬opment of entirely new products suchas nylon and polythene. In fact, startingfrom coal, air and water, Du Pont nowmakes over 120 widely used products.In addition to improving the existingprocesses of manufacturing ammonia,methanol, higher alcohols, urea andother important chemicals, Du Pontorganic and physical chemists, chemi¬cal, mechanical and metallurgical engi¬neers have discovered and developedhigh pressure syntheses for the follow¬ing: ethylene glycol; hexamethylenediamine; acetic, propionic and hydroxy-acetic acids; methyl formate; €•-, C,o-and C,m- alcohols; and numerous others.Advantagas and ProblemsThe use of high pressures offers numer¬ous advantages familiar to technicalstudents, such as: (1) forcing an equi¬librium in the direction of a volume de¬crease, (2) overcoming the reversingeffect of high temperatures in exother¬mic reactions, (3) increasing reactionand through-put rates and (4) provid¬ing, in some cases, a liquid phase whichmight not otherwise be present.The synthesis of urea from carbondioxide and ammonia is a good illus¬tration of some of these principles: A Battery of Hyper Compressors Used to Bring Gases up to 70G-900Atmospheres Pressure in the Ammonia ond Methanol Syntheses.CO2 + 2NH, CO(NH2)a -f HaOWith three moles of reactants and onlytwo of resultants, increase of pressuregives an expected increase in conversion. At the same time, the gaseous reactantsare forced into the liquid phase to givehigher concentrations and again betterconversion. The reaction rate and there¬fore the rate of passage through the re¬action chamber are both increased byincreasing the temperature under highpressure conditions. There are otherequilibrium considerations that affectthe industrial production of urea, butthey are too lengthy to discuss here.Along with its advantages, the use ofhigh pressure gives rise to problems thatoften severely tax the abilities of engi¬neers and chemists. For example, (1)difliculties of design of packing glands,valves, connecting rods, closures, etc.,increase rapidly with increased pres¬sure, (2) extraordinary corrosion prob¬lems arise in which even stainless steelsare attacked and cannot be used, (3)ordinary steels are permeable to hydro¬gen at higher pressures and tempera¬tures. These are but a few illustrationsof the challenge that high pressurestudies present to the technical manand particularly to the metallurgicaland mechanical engineer.High pressure synthesis has now be¬come a separate field of industrial chem¬istry with an apparently limitless future. rQuestions College Men askabout working with Du PontWWt kkid tf • ffBcfciiicol•rfMizutioM 4ms Dm PmmI bovt?Thera are ten manufacturinf depart¬ments in Du Pont, each operating as aseparate organixation and each with itsown research and engineering staff.

The0.1. enrollment is the immediatecause of the decision. But the G.I.enrollment Uf caused by two as¬sumptions that belong in the worldof philosophy. The first of theseis the assumption that a govern¬ments owes its citizen soldiersadequate preparation for peace¬time occupation. The second is theassumption that a college or uni¬versity education is a good pre¬paration for the pursuits of peace.Yet these theoretical considera¬tions are affecting the shape ofhigher education in America notas educational theory but by pro¬ducing the G.I. enrollment.The chemistry lab is one ofthe less important examplesof this influence. The G.I.enrollment is rapidly changingthe basic structure of highschool, college, and univers¬ity. These changes are pro¬ceeding most rapidly in thestate controlled institutions.Among these schools, again,the change is clear where theyhad reached a high state ofdevelopment; for example,among the great state univer¬sities of the Middle West.These universities face the taskof providing college education,and pro^ssional education to morestudents than they can handle.The basic pattern in which theyhave developed is that of a single,large, multi-purpose institution.One choice that was (H>en to themwas the creation of regional stateuniversities, each carrying on allthe functions of the parent. Thischoice, they have (with few ex¬ceptions) rejected. They prefer thealternative of farming out someof their functions to branches orto separate institutions.This distribution began longBryn MawrPlayersWill Preaenf^The Great BigDoorstep^JANUARY 15-16-178:15 P.M.BRYN MAWR CHURCH7000 Jeffry AvenueTickets 75cMrs. George E. Q. Johnson,Director ago with the establishment ofseparate agricultural and mechan¬ical schools in many states. Like¬wise the professional education ofteachers for the public schoolswas assigned to teachers’ colleges,often independent of the state uni¬versity. This distribution exists inan extreme form in the state ofNew York, which has no stateuniversity in a single physicalplant but has among others aSchool of Forestry at Syracuse,Agriculture at Cornell, Teachingat Buffalo, and Medicine in NewYork.Even before the G.I's arrived,these branch institutions were be¬ing changed by the increased de¬mand of their public for “a gen¬eral education” .above high school.The G.I.--enrollinent, it must beremembered, is only a phase of anolder movement toward a moreextensive general education formore of the population. Thusteachers’ colleges, schools of en¬gineering, colleges of agriculture,and all the rest came to prefer thebachelor’s degree to a professionaldegree, and by emphasizing gen¬eral education blurred the natureof their difference from the stateuniversity. But the flood that wastemporarily diverted to thesereservoirs broke through the lev¬ees when the G.I.’s came to swellits volume.To save themselves frombeing swept away in this flood,the state universities arechoosing to distribute thefunction of college or generaleducation to other locations.The provost of the Universityof Illinois was quoted in anewspaper story this pastweek in support of a bill toestablish numerous junior col¬leges throughout the state inconjunction with strong highschools. At this moment, thereare three thousand studentsenrolled at the University ofIllinois but studying in localhigh schools, ’The new insti¬tutions at Navy pier and atGalesburg are prophetic ofthings to come. The provosthas been quoted as sayingthat the University was pri¬marily interested in seniorcollege work, graduate work,and professional education.This limitation is both reason¬able and prudent, as is theconsequent distribution of thetask of general education andvocational education to regi¬onal institutions intimatelyrelated io the existing second¬ary school system.This new proposal had an in¬teresting forerunner in a proposal-made by Thomas Jefferson for theHappy moment...have a Coke•OTTlB> UNDER AUIHOBTY OF THE COCA-COLA COMPANY iYCOCOA-COLA BOTTLING COMPANY OF CHICAGO, INC. state of Virginia Jefferson hadgone on record as favoring “a sys¬tem of general instruction, whichshall reach every description ofour citizens, from the richest tothe poorest.” To provide this in¬struction, he planned an element¬ary school in every township, ninedistrict colleges distributedthrough the state, and one stateuniversity. Jefferson was not pri¬marily concerned with geographi¬cal distribution but with differencein function. So also the result forthe new American university is aredefinition of function and aconsequent reorganization of theeducational institution.But there is another pre¬cursor of the new Americanuniversity that is of greaterinterest to us, and that is theUniversity of Chicago. ThisUniversity possesses today theorganization toward which thestate universities are nowrapidly moving. In this or¬ganization the University ofChicago gives its primary con¬cern to graduate and profes¬sional education correlates ef¬fectively the curriculum ofgeneral education, acceptsstudents for university workat the level which is becom¬ing the terminal point forgeneral education, and has di¬vested itself of vocational pro¬grams.The University of Chicago,therefore, has an advantage andan increased responsibility. Theadvantage lies in our emancipationfrom the work of reorganizationthat now confronts our sister In¬stitutions. But this freedom is oursto use in effective pioneering inthe field of higher education. Weare in possession of the structure,but the structure is little morethan the steel framework of thebuilding. Our responsibility is topopulate it with living education¬al programs.'This responsibility* includes thecontinuation of the struggle forquality which has characterizedthis University from its founda¬tion. We, as an institution, bear anespecial responsibility for qualityin research and graduate work.The flood of students today is athreat to that quality. The educa¬tion of research workers is noteasily amenable to the applicationof mass production methods. Inthis area, at least, we should sayfrankly to the G. I., “We could giveyou a better education if therewere fewer of you.” Instead ofwhich, one president after anotherreports enormous increases in hisstudentbody but points with prideto the fact that standards havenot^been lowered at his university.On this campus we are fortunatein two respects: the increase instudents is below the percentage ofincreases elsewhere, and the pro¬portion of facutly to students wasexceptionally high in pre-war daysand is still a relatively favorableone. Thus we are under an especialobligation to the world of learningto work for the improvement ofquality in research to the limit ofour abilites. The recent curricularchanges in several departmentsand the strengthening of theirstaffs—for example, in the depart¬ments of physics and chemistry—may be cited as evidence that we will not fail in this repsonsibility.Our responsibilities includethe continuation of the brilli¬ant work of the College fac¬ulty. In a scries of experi¬ments, this faculty has mademajor contributions to the so¬lution of the problem of therelationship of high school tocollege and to the curriculumof liberal education. There isno need to emphasize the ma¬turing of a course of studythat makes liberal education ageneral education and mal fiof a general education a trulyliberal one. But H is impor¬tant to stress that theseachievements include theelimination of senseless dupli¬cation in high school and col¬lege courses and a workabledefinition of the end-point ofhigh school and the startingline in college. The use of abil¬ity and achievement testsmakes possible an efficientconnection between collegeand high high school.We have not gone as far in es¬tablishing efficient connectionsbetween the college and the Uni¬versity. Our responsibilities includethe clearer definition of the re¬lationship of the curriculum ofgeneral education to that of grad¬uate and professional study. 'Thisproblem now engages the atten¬tion of several faculties in theuniversity. ’This year’s revision ofthe curriculum of the College aimsat the solution of some parts ofthis problem. Other faculties havetaken definite steps in the s&medirection by clarifying their state¬ments as to the line from whichthey start. Several divisions andschools have begun the use ofability and achievement examin¬ations for entering students. Thishas helped them to wade throughthe flood of applications withoutlosing their sense of direction. Itwill help them to achieve a clear-cut definition of the ground onwhich all divisional work builds,and this in its turn will help theUniversity to fit into the newly-emerging pattern of Americanuniversity life.The divisions have not only theresponsibility but also the oppor¬tunity of saving the Master’s de¬gree. In the organization of thenew American university, a spanof three years is available for theprogram that leads to the degreeof Master of Arts or Master ofScience. On this campus, we havefaculties already organized withjurisdiction over this entire pro¬gram. More than that several ofthem have begun vigorous andimaginative reforms of the courseof study, It is invidious to mentionparticular faculties, but recentsignificant developments havetaken place in the bioligicalsciences, in the social sciences, andin the federated theological fac¬ulty. These new programs have thecommon aim of making the hold¬er of the Master’s degree a masterof the general subject matter ofhis school or division. In no otherpart of the curriculum will pro¬gress be more eagerly welcomedon other campuses.

The constitution is a good one as itstands, and unless badly mutilated by I-O representativesthrough ill-considered amendments, can become the skele¬ton around which an effective organization for the voicingof student opinion can be built.An effective organization depends of course on ade¬quate student interest and support, and the election ofcapable leaders. Indirectly it depends on something else aswell, a factor that is likely to be overlooked. Students mustnot expect too much from the installation of student gov¬ernment.“Student government” in itself is a misnomer. Govern¬ment implies specified powers—powers which no studentgovernment has or is likely to get. The University adminis¬tration is not going to turn the University over to the stu¬dent body, and no one expects it to. Nor is the milleniumgoing to be ushered in by an organization which is in thelast analysis purely advisory.This is not to whine that student government is futile.As an advisory group representing the bulk of the students,it can become a class A means of expressing student gripesand complaints. The administration cannot afford, andknows it cannot afford, to disregard the interests and wishesof its students.The campus now has only the AVC, student publica¬tions, and similar groups with which to maxe its wishesknown. Each of the existing groups, lO included, reflectsthe opinions of minorities of various sizes. The studentgovernment now appearing on the threshold, if it is tojustify itself at all, must be more than the MAROON, morethan AVC, more than its predecessor or any other exist¬ing organization. It must represent majority campus opin¬ion, and it cannot do this unless it has the continuingsupport of the student body.Whether or not it receives such support depends a gooddeal on what follows the initial elections. If the first meet¬ings of the Assembly and the Council provided for in theconstitution constitute nothing but hollow-talk, bickeringand inaction, after the fashion of I-O, student governmenthere will fail, as I-O has failed. But if under a spirited andintelligent leadership real problems that face the UC stu¬dent body—housing, student-faculty relations, the librarysystem, Student Health, the curriculum—are faced anddealt with honestly and directly, then student government^vill succeedIt will becopie the most it can become—an effectiveinstrument for the registering of the opinions of the stu¬dent body. Your title, The University of Chicago Official Student Newspaper,suggests that your aim is to report campus events accurately and im¬partially, to speak for the campus on matters in which you are sureof having overwhelming support, and to allow discussion of contro¬versial issues by both sides. Under no circumstances should you becomethe consistent spokesman for any one of the many campus groups.For some time already, I have had doubts as to how well theseaims were carried out; your coverage of the last AVC meeting, atwhich the NPC resolution on Communism and Fascism was adopted,dispelled whatever illusions I may still have had:1. You failed to mention that the final vote was 145 for the NPCresolution to 135 against, a split so close that the outcome might wellhave been different with a slightly varied attendance.2. You printed substantial portions of the NPC resolution, butnot a word of the opposing resolution; you mentioned the main speakerfor the NPC resolution, but no speaker opposing it.3. Your editorial “AVC vs. The Reds” constitutes flagrant inter¬vention in an internal controversy of a campus organization.Nor is that the only case in which your impartiality leaves muchto be desired. In your report on the election of delegates to the ChicagoNational Students Conference, no mention was made of Lloyd Hogan’sconnection with AYD, though it figured prominently on all his postersand leaflets, and though you mentioned his connection with otherorganizations. Your reporter was careful to observe that the resultsof the election show that World Government is very popular, butconveniently forgot to mention that representation of minority groups,and AYD, are even more popular.I might go further back . . .Hans FreistadtDAMAGING WORLD GOVERNMENrDespite the unquestioned sin¬cerity of their motives, the sup¬porters of a separate World Fed¬eralist Party Platform for thecominc SPU elections are greatlydamaging the world governmentmovement. Since the ProgressiveParty has emphasized the indis¬pensability of world governmentfor a better world, an independent¬ly sponsored world governmentplatform serves only to obscurethe basic issues and to contributesubstantially to a split amongworld government supporters.An atomic age, no matterhow potentially disastrous,cannot hide the fact that gov¬ernment is not an end in itself.It is an instiution designed toserve as a means to certain de¬sired human ends, such aspeace and prosperity, econo¬mic and political freedoms.This is as necessarily true ofworld government as of anygovernment of lesser scope.This truth is demonstrated bythe fact that we use thesehigher ends to judge the de¬sirability of various types ofproposed world governments,thereby rejecting such sugges¬tions as the Nazi New Order.Formerly, world federalists,though recognizing that worldgovernment is no end in itself, ex¬ cused their independent ways withthe legitimate complaint that theprogressives failed to realize theindispensability of government toany improved world society. Butthe Progressive Party platform, farfrom neglecting world government,places it in its proper relation, notas a final goal, but as a meansof attaining final goals. A sepa¬rate World Federalist Platformnow becomes superfluous.But in addition to being theo¬retically unsavory, competition atthe polls between World Federal¬ists and Progressives will have un¬pleasant practical results. The vastmajority of world government sup¬porters, refusing to consider worldgovernment the all-important endof human life, will vote Progres¬sive. This will cause a i>oor show¬ing for the World Federalist Party,which will reflect badly on thewhole government movement.The solution is as pressingas it is simple. It means with¬drawal of the World Federal¬ist Platform. It means thatworld federalists must be, notopponents, but the most vitalpart of the wider progressivemovement, just as the worldgovernment plank is the mostimportant part of the Prog¬ressive Platform.Curtis Crawford Friday, January lo, 1947Gives U of C'sPosition InWorld Today(Continued from Page 1)once again passed this action andthe matter was on its way to theBoard of Trustees when the op¬posing factions reached a settle-ment. This settlement involvedelimination of the disputed degreebut added certain new courseswhich both parties found agree¬able as R part of liberal educationand as meeting the special re¬quirements for entry to the divi¬sions and schools.While granting that financ¬ing and mana,sing an under¬taking as large, complicated,and expensive as the Univers¬ity of Chicago will always bea difficult matter, Hutchinsasserts that the University hasmany “problems” but few realproblems. He defines a “prob¬lem” as a difficulty in the ma¬terial order and a real prob¬lem as a confusion about theaim and destiny of the Uni¬versity.“ ‘Problems’ are never primary.Their solution follows, not auto¬matically, but secondarily, fromthe solution of the real problems,the problems of standards and ofpurpose, which do not lie in thematerial order.”Hutchins concluded, “thishas been the view of the Uni¬versity from the beginning; itis this spirit which has madeit great. The University hasdecided what it ought to do;it has then done it, and theresources necessary to do ithave been forthcoming, be¬cause the University haddemonstrated mat it deservedto receive them.“In times like these, in themidst of drastic changes in thematerial requirements of educa¬tion and research, it is difficultfo^ administrative officers, pro¬fessors, and tinistees to keep theirattention focused on the realproblems. Questions affectmKbuildings, equipment, and financeare too insistent. Yest the few realproblems the University has arefar more impiortant. They are ofthis sort: how can so large andvarious an institution be unifiedand directed toward the preserva¬tion of a civilization which is ob-iously on the brink of catastio-phe? I do not precend to know theanswers to such questions. But I doknow that the answers must befound, and I believe that they willbe found through the kind of con¬tinuous debate and pioneering ef¬fort which the University of Chi¬cago has conducted throughout itshistory.”UNIVERSITY JAZZ CLUBMEETS AT IDA NOYESThe University of ChicagoJazz Club will hold its firstmeeting of the Winter quarteron Thursday, January 16, from7:30 tP 10 p.m. in the Ida NoyesEast Lounge.

This attitude wasbest illustrated in the plenary session held the last day,when the problem of racial discrimination and the southerndelegation appeared on the floor.The southern representatives,for the most part, were very prog-jessive and very liberal. However,they were faced with the politicalrealities of conditions in theirhome states and knew that theycould not return with a resolu¬tion stating, “That all delegateswould work toward the removal ofState discrimination laws.” Itwould mean their immediate re¬moval from school. And for thisreason they were forced into theposition that they could not sup¬port an organization which hadthis resolution as one of its tenets.Four hours after discussionbegan on this subject, a satis¬factory compromise wasreached. During this time.Opinion had changed from violent opposition to this com¬promise to an acceptance ofit and a realization of thesouth’s practical problems.Similar situations rose through¬out the conference, and, again,compromises were reached in eachinstance. The delegation mustagain stress the important co¬operative implications of suchactions.The one important dangerthat we believe lies ahead ofthis organization is a faction-,al one, for inherent in it arestrongly opposed minorities. Ifthese groups are not control¬led by a democratic majority,then this organization willsoon follow the path of exist¬ent left-wing organizations. It can only escape such an endby the full participation of everystudent in the country and since,as is explained in the accompany¬ing news story, its headquartersare to be here, much of the burdenwill lie upon us. Every studentand every organization on campusmust work with Russ Austin, thetitular head, if we desire this prog¬ressive students’ organization tosucceed.At the next I-O meeting, thedelegation plans to present afuller report of the conference,and, at that time, to proposethe creation of a campus com¬mittee which will undertakethe duty outlined above. Thiscommitte will help to writethe constitution, aid the Na¬tional Continuation’s Commit¬tee, and will become an inte¬gral part of the Illinois re¬gional organization.After attending the conference,we believe that effort expended inthis organization will be effective,and, for this reason, we hope thatfull co-operation will be offeredthe U. of C. students.

Di¬rector of the great books ex¬pansion program is John Bar¬den, assistant dean of Univer¬sity college.Dean Houle emphasized that theUniversity sends out teachers af¬ter they have been requested bythe public school, public libraryand local college groups in thecommunity. The local groups areresponsible for estimating thenumber of classes which their citywill need and choosing participantsin the original training course.Afterwards, new leaders aretrained locally. Usually two lead¬ers are trained for every class.Because of the difficulty of ob¬taining books for these coursesthe University is also printing pa¬per-bound copies of the readingsin the first year of the course.Expansion InBook Store;Double AreaThe University Bookstore hasfinally realized its pre-war plansfor expansion and through ex¬tensive addition and re-arrange¬ments has added over one thirdto its total available space.War restrictions and scarcitiesprevented the expansion whichwas planned five years ago.Every one of the store’s ten de¬partments has been expandedand more work will be done asmaterials become available. Nonew lines in clothing, books orgifts are planned at the presenttime.New shelves were installed inthe text books department whichhave been alphabetized-. This im¬provement, plus additional work¬ers has made possible the in¬creased efficiency which studentshave commented upon thisquarter.Re-arrangeement of the foresection of the display room hasresulted in an optical Illusion.There are no more books on dis¬play now than there were beforevacation and the transformation,in fact, there are fewer books instock than ever before. Of course,with the additional space in thedisplay section as well as in thestock rooms, expansion is ex¬pected when books become avail¬able.ALWAYS BETTER...

If the Army hadai^ted on the proposal of theUniversity of Chicago when itwas made, I believe that out inPalos Park we could have puton a large-scale demonstrationof the use of atomic energyfor commM'cial power by lastMay. The Army finally de¬cided to conduct this experi¬ment at Oak Ridge, and I haveno doubt that it will have suc¬ceeded by next May.We cannot expect atomic energyto replace at once the ordinarysources of industrial power in ex¬isting industrial areas. But I wouldcall your attention to the factthat the cost of transporting thematerials from which atomic en¬ergy is made is negligible. Thismeans that the location of com¬munities and industries need nolonger be determined by the loca¬tion of sources of power. You canstart industries or communities—which, incidentally, could be freefrom smoke — anywhere in theworld, on the polar ice-cap or inthe heart of the Congo.New Industrial RevolutionWhen we consider what the lo¬cation of coal mines and waterpower has meant in the locationof industries and cities through¬out the world, we can understandthe proportions of the industrialand social revolution which atomicenergy is about to usher in. Wemay expect the rapid industriali¬sation of parts of the world plenti¬ful in raw materials but lackingIn coal, oil, or water power. Wemay expect the development ofnew industries and new commu¬nities. This will be accompaniedby the disintegration of old com¬munities, particularly those whoseShief reason for existence is theirproximity to old-fashioned sourcesof power. These dislocations willbe accompanied by great insecur¬ity. An economy based on workand scarcity will be giving waybefore one based on leisure andabundance. The birthpangs of thenew economy are likely to bepainful, the problems of manage¬ment are certain to be so enormous,that the difficulties of citizenshipwhich we have been able to takevery lightly, will seem too muchfor us. We shall turn to the Gov¬ernment to save us. Only the Gov-erijment will seem large enough tocope with a crisis of such dimen¬sions. We may even hear that weneed a Leader. Nobody proposedthat atomic energy should not bea government monopoly. The onlyquestion was which branch of theGovernment should monopolize it.The chief problems of the Govern¬ment will be security and boredom.And so the world comes backag(vn to bread and circuses.The President of Harvardhas suggested that our appe¬tite for circuses is unlimited.He has intimated that wedon’t need to worry about theunbounded leisure which theatomic age will bring—we cango to the ball game. I used todo that myself every Saturdayafternoon in the fall, but forsome reason or other I finallygot tired of it. As I approachthe age of 48, I can testifythat all forms of recreationeventually lose their charm.As we now save children frominfants’ diseases in order toput them in insane asylumswhen they grow up, so we havecut working hours from 60 to40 and produced the comicbook as the symbol of our cul¬tural epoch. When in theatomic age we can get our liv¬ing with about the same effortand in the same time as theunfortunate savages require topick their daily diet from thebreadfruit trees, what shall wedo with ourselves then?You may admit that this isnews, and news that ought to beon page one every day; and youmay with some propriety ask,“Why is it so good?”“Doctrine of Damnation”In theology the utility of thedoctrine of damnation is that itmay frighten us into doing whatwe know we should be doing any¬way. We know we ought to behaveourselves; but it is not alwayspleasant tofdo it. The news ofdamnation tells us, in dramatic,spectacular fashion, how extreme¬ly unpleasant it will be for us ifwe do not do it. We have known atleast since the time when Napo¬leon invented total war that warwould have to be abolished. Wecould see that nationalism is ob¬solete and that internationalismwas out of date even before wetried it. Now we can have no ex¬cuse for failing to understand thatour hope is in world justice, worldlaw, world goverrment, a worldstate. The event of August 6, 1945makes plain to the dullest witsthat it is one world or none at all.It has I long been clear thatthe advance of technologywas making it possible to sim¬plify industrial operations tothe point where they couldbe openly conducted bytwelve-year-old children, andvery few of them. The steadydecline in the hours of laborhas been going on for a gen¬eration. The war has simplyconcentrated fifty years oftechnological advance intofive, and has thrown in, forgood measure, the discovery ofa new source of power whichwill enormously accelerate aprocess that was already un¬der way.The principal aims of educa¬tion in this country have been tosupply vocational success or socialstanding, although it has beenclear that education could makeno direct contribution to voca¬tional success and that where allchildren go to school, going toschool does not distinguish thosewho go. Where everybody is some¬body, as Gilbert and Sullivanpointed out, nobody’s anybody. Wehave thought of education as anaffair for the young—it has beenregarded as a disease like whoop¬ing cough or measles—^having hadit once you need not, indeed youcannot, have it again. And theresult has been that those thingswhich only adults can under¬stand, because only they have hadthe experience to understandthem, we have never learned, andthey are the most importantthings of all. Our increasing leis¬ure has been wasted on futile ef¬forts to stave off boredom byspending more and more moneytrying to get somebody to amuseus. Yet with the machines whichwe now have to work for us wehave as much leisure as the Greekscould have had, and we could havea civilization as glorious as theirs,and more enduring.Five Years to Learn to BehaveUnfortunately the good newsof damnation arrives a little late.After centuries of misconduct wenow have about five years inwhich to learn how to behave our¬selves. But learning how to be¬have ourselves is the only defenseagainst the atomic bomb. Othercivilizations were destroyed bybarbarians from without. We breedour own. We cannot rely on ourpossession of a secret about theatomic bomb. The only secretworth keeping came out when thebomb went off. It is useless todevote ourselves to great militarypreparations. As long as we havethe atomic bomb, we do not needgreat military preparations. Whenother nations have it, these prep¬arations will do us no good. Greatmilitary preparations are, in fact,dangers to us; for they serve toconvince other nations that weare out to dominate the world. Wehave never been forced to con¬front a major power in the courseof our imperialism. We took mostof what we wanted from the In¬dians. But I cannot see why weshould suppose that other nationswill think that we are so muchbetter than they that we, and notthey, should be trusted with over¬whelming force.Hope Lies in EducationYou may well ask how we canget other people to'behave them¬selves. If our hearts are changed,and those of the Russians are not,we shall merely have the satisfac¬tion of being blown up withchanged hearts rather than withunchanged ones. I do not expectan American audience to have suf¬ficient faith in the immmortalityof the soul to regard this as more than a dubious consolation. Hereis where the power of example isstill valid. When other nationshave atomic bombs, we are at everydisadvantage in trying to makethem behave themselves by force.We are more vulnerable than they.Our hope lies in the processes ofeducation at home and abroad.But the Director of the Bureau ofBudget announced in Novemberthat the administration wantedpeacetime conscription to havepriority over Federal aid to educa¬tion; and the appropriation tofinance the State Department’sdhterpretation of America abroadwas with great difficulty raised to$19,000,000, the price of a verysmall battleship. The budget ofUNESCO, the United NationsEducational. Scientife, and Cul¬tural Organization, which is sup¬posed to bring peace through ed¬ucation, has been set at $6,000,-000, something less than a thirdof the amount which the Univer¬sity of Chicago alone spent everyyear during the war on the de¬veloping of new weapons of de¬struction.World government, if it isto last, must rest upon worldcommunity. A communityrests on communication. Thismeans more than radio, tele¬phones, telegraph, and movies.It requires a common stock ofideas and ideals. Civilization,in fact, is nothing but the de¬liberate pursuit of a commonideal. It rests upon a commontradition and upon the recog¬nition of the common human¬ity all members of thecommunity.If we want peace, then, we mustwork for a community which shallembrace all men. What is the com¬mon bond that can unite us, whatis the common tradition in which,whether we know it or not, we all live? I should like tentatively toendorse the suggestion of the dele¬gate from Lebanon to the UnitedNations, who said that the com¬mon bond and the common tradi¬tion were most clearly revealed inthe great works of the humanmind and spirit. He suggested that,if all the peoples of the earthcould unite in the study of thesegreat works, a world communitymight arise.Educate EverybodyPlainly the task before us. andit is colossal, is an educationaltask. We have to educate every¬body, of every age, at home andabroad. And we have five years,more or less, in which to do it.It looks hopeless, but it is not asbad as it looks. In the first place,we do not know what educationcan accomplish, because we havenever tried it. The first thing weshould do is to stop wasting ourtime on vocational training andthe frivolities of the so-called col¬leges of liberal arts. In the secondplace, the means of communica¬tion are now so numerous, rapid,and cheap that, if we have any¬thing to communicate, we cancommunicate it to the ends of theearth more easily than our ances¬tors could have communicatedit from Chicago to Cleveland.Horace Mann established theAmerican common school in Mas¬sachusetts a hundred years ago.As Mr. William B. Benton ptqintedout at the UNESCO conference inParis last month, Horace Mannmust have had more trouble ingetting in touch with Pittsfieldfrom Boston than he would nowhave in reaching London, Calcutta,or even Moscow.In the third place, we haveto develop something to com¬municate that is worth eom-municating. We must, ofcourse, spread the good news of damnation. But in additionwe must have an educationthat offers some hope of lay¬ing the foundations of a worldcommunity. I do not say thatthe Great Books program uponwhich the University of Chi¬cago and the EncyclopaediaBritannica are now embarkedis the only answer to the prob¬lem of working out the edu¬cation the world needs. I dosay that it is directed to thisend and that it seems promis¬ing. I confidently expect tosee 15,000,000 studying thegreat works of the humanmind and spirit within fiveyears. The radio programs of ^the University and the books 'and films produced by theBritannica, which go all overthe world, can all be aimed atsowing the seeds of worldcommunity. If one universityand two companies affiliatedwith it can make so large adent on the difficulties beforeus, I see no reason to despairif the resources of the UnitedStates in education and com¬munication can be mobiliziedfor the Job.It is very late; perhaps nothingcan save us. But, with the goodnews of damnation ringing in ourears, we may remember the wordsof William the Silent, whichshould be the motto of the educa¬tor in any age. He said: “It is notnecessary to hope in order to un¬dertake, or to succeed in order topersevere.”Robert M.

This would be no smallachievement, and it can happenhere.1 have alluded previouslyto the University’s continuing ~obligation to the! performanceof research and the educationof the next generation of re¬search workers. This is theparamount obligation of theUniversity. It is at presentcomplicated by the use of thissame program for the trainingof college teachers. This isnot to say that training in re¬search is without value inteacher education. Nor shouldwe reverse the progress thatwas made when the trainingof teachers was moved fromthe area of methods to themastery of subjects. But thedivisional faculties must clear¬ly recognize that the vast bulkof the college teachers of thenext generation will be teach¬ing in district or regional col¬leges whose work will not goabove the sophomore year ofthe conventional pattern.Another large group of ourgraduates will be teaching incolleges whose cour^ of studywill end with the Master’s de¬gree. We shall need all thepowers of our imagination andall the resources of our knowl¬edge to devise adequate pro-'grams of instruction .for thefaculties of these institutions.The administrative officers ofthese smaller institutions are al¬ready becoming aware of the prob¬lem. They are looking for teacherswith a broad liberal education,who have gone on to a masteryof the general subject matter of aschool or division. Moreover theyare limited to teachers who arewilling to work without associationwith a large corps of distinguished specialists and without large op¬portunities for their own research.If we in the universities are notinterested in educating suchteachers, the college faculties ofthe next generation will not beour graduates. But it is we whoare deciding the question. Already—within the last year—I haveheard a Georgia college deanblaspheme against the Ph.D. de¬gree by saying that the best re¬cruits for his faculty lacked thatdegree; and the president of astrong Western college sighed withrelief as he told me that a giftedresearch worker in one of thesciences had refused his invita¬tion to return to his faculty. Theseare indications of the critical na¬ture of the problem and of thelateness of the hour. We have thetradition and the resources, theobligation and the opportunity tolead in educating teachers for thenew American college. They needwhat this university can give.Nor should we fear thatthe new shape of our educa¬tional institutions will vanishwhen the G.I. pressure is re¬duced. As I have said, the G.I.enrollment is only the latestphase in the growing educa¬tional program of the country.The State increasingly recog¬nizes its duty to educate forcitizenship.This pressure is reinforced by ageneral preference for educationas contrasted with unemplosmient.We can expect, therefore, that thenew American university will sur¬vive the perils of its infancy, andwe can hope that the Universityof Chicago will help it in its de¬velopment to maturity.The atomic bomb ended a war in1945. It was not remotely relatedto educational philosophy, but itis influencing the shape of theAmerican university in 1947.Those of us who are not scien¬tists have learned at last whatthe scientists have always known—and have long tried to tell us— that Science is morally neutral,and that increased scientificknowledge is not necessarily goodand is not necessarily bad. Weshould have realized this long ago.But the dramatic achievements ofscience, such as the airplane, cameto our attention first in construc¬tive uses. We non-scientific lay¬men came to assume that all theresults of scientific study were likethe discovery of a cure for diseases—that they were all inevitablygood for mankind. The atomicbomb taught us the lesson of themoral neutrality of science, be¬cause in it the release of atomicenergy was first and dramaticallyapplied to destruction rather thanto constructive purposes. Thus wehave finally learned that scienceis a tool that is indifferent as tothe purpose for which it is used.Since the atomic bombs weredropped, people are turning in¬creasingly to the social sciencesfor the type of help that they nolonger expect from the naturalsciences. The largest increase instudent enrollment on our cam¬pus is in the division of the socialsciencesi Many of these studentshope to find in the study of gov¬ernment or economics or sociologythe means to a prevention of thecatastrophe out of which theycome to school today.The great philanthropic foun-ditions are beginning to shift thecenter of their interest to thesocial sciences. In a recent report,the president of the Carnegie Cor¬poration states this as follows:“ It seems to the officers of thecorporation that the areas ingreatest need of promotion arethe humanities and the socialsciences. The one provides an understanding of our heritage; theother seeks to build upon thatfoundation the superstructure ofa sound and stable society. In thateffort fundamental research is re¬quired to discover the principlesupon which such a society rests;wide dissemination of knowledgeis necessary to the application ofthose principles, and social-mind-edness, good will, and a sense ofsocial responsibility are essential to stability and progress. Thesocial studies are concerned withall phases of the problem of hu¬man relations. To make them moreeffective is to assist in the solu¬tion of the chief problem of thisgeneration.“For a long time social scien¬tists have been mainly concernedwith describing and testing thesocial machine, thus acquiring im¬portant knowledge of its capaci¬ties. While this has been going on,those who exercise authority havegradually and ' steadily becomepossessed of the instruments thatare capable of guiding society. . .one who has thought even brieflyabout fascism, the war effort, orpropaganda doubts that socialchanges of wide consequence canbe initiated rapidly. How to usethese new instruments, born ofmass ccanmunication and indivi¬dual interrependence, is the chal¬lenge to the social scientsts. Thecorporation offers its help in theprogression from scholarly re¬search to planning and thence toaction.”What is not yet clear to manyof us is that the social sciencesshare much of the moral neutral¬ity of the natural sciences. Theyhave often striven toward abstrac¬tion and objectivity to procedureand method in such a way thattheir results are neither good norbad in and of themselves. Thusthey become means and toolswhich can be used with equal ef¬fectiveness, by a new Hitler or anew democracy.In so far as this is true,concen-tration upon the social scienceswill not build “a sound and stablesociety.”Neither will our society find itssalvation by turning to any otherparticular discipline or special sub¬ject matter. It will not be savedeven if it turns to the humanitiesand divinity. For in these areasalso one finds the naive confi¬dence that all increase in knowl¬edge is automaically good, and ashrinking from the study of endsand values.We shall not meet the ap¬peal which a sick society is now making to us by concen¬trating our hopes upon one *discipline. The cure is not thespecial property of a particu¬lar discipline, but will befound—if it be found at all ina university—only when eachmember of the universitycommunity recognizes his ob¬ligation to society.We can, of course, refuse Juris¬diction. We can inform society andthe young especially that it is notour task to help in the construc¬tion of the criteria for the goodlife of the next generation. We canlegitimately point to the home andto the church as carrying the ma¬jor responsibility in this matter.We can, on the other hand,face the crisis of our time,and ‘ accept responsibilitywithin the narrow limits ofour ability. To do this wewould have to cast aside theapprehensions of our acade¬mic immaturity, and boldlyface the question of the rela¬tion of knowledge to ethicaldecision.It is beyond my ability to sug¬gest to you anything in the natureof a program with which the Uni¬versity or its various schools anddivisions can meet this challengeand this responsibility. When thatprogram is built, it will not ignoreany one of our basic desciplines;nor will it telescope our variousdisciplines into a least commondenominator; rather in somereasonable way it will correlate andfederate our resources to the serv¬ice of the common good.In the meantime, I suggest thatthe first step in that direction canbe taken by us as individuals. Wecan each struggle for our own per¬sonal synthesis in which scienceand ethics, or reason and faith, orknowledge and righteousness, be¬come allies in this larger task.The example of the distinquish-ed natural scientists who workedon the atomic bomb raises hopefor the assumption of social re¬sponsibility by all men of learning.That hope can be realized only bya cooperative effort that crossesdivisional lines.FOR ALLCOURSESNEW and SECOND-HANDAlso General Books—-Rental Library SetsTypewritersSoldRentedTlxchangedPostal Station Stationery Supplies - NotebooksPencil - Pads Fountain PensDesk BlottersLocksAthletic GoodsKodak - Films - Service .University of Chicago Bookstore5802 ELLIS AVENUE0Pftge 10 THE CmCAaO MAROON Friday, January lo, 1947I The Music Stand |A week from tonight the first of five concerts to begiven during the winter quarter will take place at Mandelhall.

Now a newquarter is with us—it fairlyshakes with potentialities for thedorms, prefabs, independents, andthe masses. And we’re still hereto let you know the inside storieson the active college jobs.Winter quarter brings, alongwith frozen toes and noses, newstudents. What with Placementtests (are you well maladjusted?),speeches given by such notablesas orientation head Lin Lnnd-gard and Dean Davey, etc., there’slittle chance for the new arrivalsto become known on campuswithout a plug—so here goes: wehave Lucille Kohn, just backfrom nurse’s training, Billy Flory,an old wolf in new clothes, JohnHolsen, labor leader, John Tar-burton, student personnel — of acouple of years ago, etc., etc.;they’re all being protected frombecoming casualties of the roughand rugged college system byOrientation Board CounselorsJohnny Green, Janet Benson,Paddy Burns, Holly Taylor, EnidHarris, Jim Barnett, and Sid Le-zak.The University College’s Con¬certs Series at Kimball Hall onalternate Wednesdays also pre¬sents five concerts, the first ofwhich took place last Wednesdayevening. These events consist ofa lecture during the first half ofthe progiam and the performanceof two or more chamber works inthe latter half. Last Wednesday’sconcert was preceded by a lectureon “The Growth of AmericanMusic,” given by John Becker,after which the Chicago Sym¬phony Quartet, with Perry O’Neilas guest artist performed Mo¬zart’s B flat Major Trio, thefourth Sonata of Charles Ives, anobscure but exceedingly importantAmerican composer who wrotepolytonal music long before Stra¬vinsky ever did, and the FluteQuintet of David Diamond.On January 22 Scott Gold-thwaite will lecture on “The In¬strumental Duo in the Time ofBach;” Dorothy Lane, harpsichordwith George Sopkin, Violoncello,will play three sonatas for violada gamba and harpsichord byJ.

The rink is open everyday—afternoons and evenings.There’s music, and the ice is inexcellent condition. You have togo through Bartlett to get in.On Tuesday and Thursdayevening only those with fig¬ure skates will be allowed—otherwise all you need is anidentification card. On Mon¬day, Wednesday and Fridayafternoons, half the rink isset aside for hockey.No doubt you’ve noticed it, butperhaps an added word of warn¬ing about the icy steps on somecampus buildings wouldn’t beamiss. Free hospital care not¬withstanding, we strongly recom¬mend extra caution; we have iton reliable authority that thefood provided for the inmates ofBillings has not yet been so per¬fected as to be classifiable as fitfor human consumption.And don’t forget: what goes inthe upper right hand comer of allthemes, essays and other intel¬lectual works now is 1947.Don’t forget the C-Dance thisSaturday.

First of all is theidea of having various Universitypersonalities guest edit the sportspage each week. Writing nextweek’s Sportlight will be DickKiser, one of the University’s morelearned individuals in the fieldof collegiate athletics, and newsports reporter for the Maroon.Then the following week we’llhave Walter Jeske, who is betterknown just as Walter, the guardat Ida Noyes. In the weeks thatfollow we will have stories fromthe pens of our better known ath¬letic stars, and possibly from vari¬ous members of the faculty. Wehope you will like this new policy,and if there is any one in particu¬lar you’d like to hear from, let usknow and we ll do our best to pro¬cure his or her services.Another idea, not particularlyoriginal, is to publish a list of theten most important inter-collegi¬ate basketball games for the fol¬lowing week. The idea is to testyour knowledge of basketballthroughout the nation, by havingyou pick the winners of thesegames. When you have made yourselections, send them or bringthem to the Maroon Sports De¬partment. Room 201, ReynoldsStudent Clubhouse.

With mostof last year’s squad led by JohnnyAdams back to do business at thesame old stand, things are lookingexceptionally good. During thepast month, Johnny has come upwith two outstanding perform¬ances, both in the distance runs.Racing against time is generallypretty difficult, but Johnny wasable to pace the two-mile distancein the exceptionally good time of9:30.1, and just last week he wasunofficially timed as doing a 4:18mile.With Johnny back, trim and fit¬ter than ever before, we expectreally big things of him this year.In Grant Chave, the track squadhas a lad who has reached thepeak of 6 feet 4 inches in thehigh jump when he was at Ober-lin. Grant has been consistentlyJumping over six feet this year.With Smith, Johnson and Bettmanto do his hurdling and ChuckKelso back for his dashes, Merriamshould be well fixed in the shorterdistances.Loyola invades the field houseon January 25th for the first dualmeet.
