!orthtree fallsoween vandalsUniversity of Chicago, November 6, 1959 31 by Joel Ashenfarb“The tree,” a long time per¬manent fixture on campus andprobably the largest and mostsingular classified advertisingmedium in existence, suc¬cumbed to the vandalism ofHalloween trick-or-treaters lastFriday.Widespread remorse over theloss has been exhibited by HydePark residents—for the tree wasregarded as a permanent fixturein the community, and is the pos¬sessor of an international reputa¬tion and an unusual history.There seems to be some disa¬greement concerning the genus ofthe tree, some circles contending itto be of the poplar variety andothers claiming it to be an elm.According to Harry H. Chumley,proprietor of Woodworth’s book¬store, the poplar enthusiasts >arein the right. Also in dispute is thedate of the tree’s appearance on57th street. Though authoritativesources maintain that the tree wasplanted in 1915, dates reaching asfar back as 1893 have been sug¬gested.Whatever the case may be, thetree grew to sizeable proportionsand remained unmutilated for 40years, serving solely as a contribu¬tion to the beauty of 57th street.About 18 years ago, some per¬ceptive individual tacked a bit ofpaper to the tree, the message ofwhich remains unknown. It wasn’tlong before others followed andthe tree finally emerged as a melt¬ing pot for notices of lost andfound articles, items for sale ortrade, places for rent, and per¬sonal messages.Comprehensive grading is changed“There will be two kinds ofgrades given this year in the gen¬eral education program,” statedKnox Hill, University examiner,“advisory grades and what wecall grades of record. The formerwill not be entered on a student’stranscript or count as a fulfill¬ment of a degree requirement,whereas grades of record will doboth those things.“Grades of record may be eitherquarterly grades or comprehen¬ sive grades,” continued Hill. “Andcomprehensive may be of twokinds —. the old kind of singleexamination comprehensive arjdwhat we call the ‘cumulativecomp.’ The cumulative comp in¬volves an average of work donethrought the year which consti¬tutes a final grade. The averagemay or may not include a largeexamination covering the wholeyear’s work.”Biology 111-12-13 is an exampleStudents no longer ableto have exams reviewed“The University will no longer permit a student to have anexamination reviewed upon a payment of a fee,” Knox Hill,University examiner, announced last week. “He may petitionto have the scoring on an examination reviewed, but examin¬ations will no longer be reread upon request.”“In taking this new position,” Hill continued, “we are not as¬sorting infallibility in grading, —— ——~ 77. , . .. .but rather our conviction that our "« car a!" taeul .es tool thatgrades are most reliable at the '™rk °.f the original cumuta-.time they are first given, when tive grade Is indispensable to athe problems of the course and llnal fa,d,f; an exception may boits examinations are most fresh made to this proposel single examin the minds of the grading teach, retake rule ' added Hill. In suchor, and the greatest care can be eases the student would probablygiven to the establishment oi have *° retake the entire course,grades.”Hill also said that the examin¬er’s office felt that having stu¬dent’s grades raised by rereadingseemed unfair to other studentswho had not bothered to gamble$10 on a chance of improving theirmarks. “If we’re going to rereadany of the essays . . . why not re¬read all of them?’’ Hill concluded.Retakes or examinations will bepermitted Hill stated. Althoughno definite decision has beenmade, Hill said that his office istrying to arrange a system underwhich a grade may be raised by asingle examination in any givencourse—an examination coveringan entire sequence if graded ona comprehensive basis, or anexam involving a single quarter’swork in cases like Biology 111-12-13, where each quarter isgraded separately and no finalaverage grade or comprehensivegrade is given. of a course using the quarterlygrade of record. Each quarterlygrade is final. There is no year¬long average taken as a finalgrade. English is under the cumu¬lative comp system. The firstquarter’s grade is 20% of the finalgrade, the second quarter 30%,and the third quarter 50%. A partof the last quarter’s grade isdetermined by a large examina¬tion.“Any given course must choosewhether the grades of recordgiven for the course will be givenfor a single quarter’s work or forthe whole two or three quartersequence,” added Hill. “A noticerequesting a decision will be sentto each course chairman sometime in the near future.“Although the staffs have notyet made a final decision, I wouldguess that all general educationcourses excepting Mathematics,Biology, and perhaps the physicalsciences will use one of the twoforms of comprehensive grades,”Hill stated. “Physical sciences 105-6-7 and the two two quarter se¬quences 105 8 and 106-7, the newforms of the old Natural sciencesI course, will almost certainly usea comprehensive.” The first yearlanguage courses have kept the single examination comprehen¬sive.One problem connected with thegeneral education courses whichwill usually be taken in the sec¬ond year, the new forms of thethird year and some of the secondyear sequences in the old Collegeis that many of them are electiveby single quarters or by sequence.Hill predicts that the majority ofthe staffs involved will keep someform of comprehensive for thesequences, which will use advi¬sory quarterly grades as in thepast, However, since each quar¬ter may be elected separately insome cases, (the third quarter ofthe general history course, for ex¬ample) quarterly grades of record may be used for the samequarter as advisory quarterlygrades.“We don’t expect this systemto apply neatly and simply to allstudent needs,” said Hill. “A stu¬dent who registered for a singlequarter of a course and request¬ing a permanent quarterly grademay decide to continue with therest of the sequence, or vise versa.We will try to adapt the systemto the student’s requirementswherever possible.” These messages are sometimestragic and often humorous. Exam¬ples of the former include: “Lostour 5-month-old baby. Will givehandmade clothing to mother ofchild same age,” and “Lost moneyfor desperately needed operation.Finder please return and giveowner gift of life.”Notices of the more humorousnature that have appeared are:“Please give my cat a home andbe good to him until I grow up.”and “Hi-fi set for sale cheap. It’sperfect, but I need the money tofinish the semester.”“The tree” continued this fruit¬ful existence until the summer of1954, when it was found to bedying. The following October thetree was severed to a height of 12feet and soon after was furthershortened. At that time it wasestimated that the tree would lastthree more years.During all these years there hasbeen only one instance of van¬dalism. This occurred in 1953when the tree was denuded by asmall boy. The boy returned twodays after his initial action andproceeded to remove the newlyposted notices. When questionedabout his actions, he explainedthat the tacks hurt the tree, thatit would get sick, and “how wouldyou like to have hundreds of tacksstuck into you?’’ The Woodworthman told him that this was non¬sense, that the tree wasn’t hurt abit and that if the boy interferedagain, someone would take sternaction.Through the years, the tree hasgotten somewhat of an interna¬tional reputation. It has been thesubject for articles in such wellknown magazines as Life, Time,Coronet, Newsweek and manyothers, besides being publicized inmost of the nation’s leading news¬papers. In addition, if. has beenexploited in foreign newspapersfrom all parts of the globe. Justrecently Woodworth learned of acontest being sponsored by a Brit¬ish journal which seeks a captionfor the tree.Though the tree is generally un¬derstood to be rapidly decaying,and will survive for only a coupleof more years, the concerted ef¬fort made towards its restorationcontinues — for “the tree” has be¬come a permanent institution inthe community, serving as an in¬expensive and effective tradingpost for assorted merchandise andwitticisms and a diurnal conver¬sation topic for passers-by. Un¬doubtedly, this is Hyde Park’s an¬swer to Madison Avenue.Applications for National de¬fense loans and all UC loansmust be filed by 5 pm todayat the student loan office, room304, Administration building.“Since the bursar’s deadlineis November 20. this is the lastday we will accept applica¬tions,” reports Phyllis Davis ofthe loan office. “Processing theapplication requires approxi¬mately two weeks.”Radio station can apply for FM licenseDean of students John P. Netherton yesterday told person¬nel of WUCB that the campus radio station would be allowedto apply for an FM license. The announcement brought to aclose WUCB’s two years of campaigning to be allowed to requestsuch a license.Netherton made it clear that the station members would be ex¬pected to consult with a faculty supervisory board on the moreproblematic aspects of station policy if the Federal CommunicationsCommission grants the license.According to John Schureman, station manager, “The FCC seemswilling to award us an educational license. As such, WUCB wouldbe a non-profit station, playing no advertisements.”At present WUCB may be heard on campus only in certain dormi¬tories in which are located low-power AM transmitters. When FMequipment is installed, all FM radios in the UC area will be ableto receive the station.Phoenix staff hopes Afeiiii contest beginsto'help'new studentsThe autumn issue of Phoenix, UC’s humor magazine, willappear Monday.

Owen Chamberlain, who received his PhD in physics from UC in 1949 has beename*d to receive the Nobel prize in physics for his discovery of the anti-proton.Chamberlain made the discovery working with Dr. Emilio Segre. Segre is noted for con¬firming the existence of the negatively charged proton that can annihilate the positive pro¬ton of matter found on earth.Chamberlain becomes the third Nobel prize winner in physics since 1953 who has receivedhis PhD from UC. The only .otherwinner of the award since thisdate is Segre, who was educatedjti Rome.Two other Nobel prize winningscientists who are ex-UC studentsare Tsung Dao Lee and Chen NingYang. In 1957 these physicistswere honored by the Nobel com¬mittee in Stockholm for their dis¬coveries that destroyed the prin¬ciple of parity, which for 30 yearshad been a basic law of physicaltheory. Lee, now on the facultyof Columbia, received his PhDfrom UC in 1950. Yang, now at theInstitute for Advanced Studies atPrinceton, received his PhD at UCin 1918.Chamberlain and Segre reportthat with the aid of two otherassistants they created anti-pro-tons in a powerful atom smasher,the Bevatron, at the University ofCalifornia’s radiation laboratoryin Livermore, California.The anti-proton is like the pro¬ton, which wit h the neutronmakes up the nucleus of ordinaryatoms, except for the negativecharge. The proton has a positivecharge. When an anti-protonstrikes a proton or neutron it an¬nihilates itself and the proton orneutron.Chamberlain told the AmericanPhysical society in 1956 that theanti proton could not be used in a superbomb or for atomic en¬ergy. The reason is that it takesas much energy to create an anti¬proton as is produced when it isannihilated.Scientists do not rule out thepossibility that galaxies of stars made up of antimatter exist was supposed to have been allot-NSA membership, duesThe question of continued UC membership in the NationalStudent Association caused a heated debate at the November2 meeting of Student Government.

An analysis expectof the 5,743 census cards that stu¬dents filled out during Autumnregistration shows that 1,244 stu¬dents, approximately 22 per centof those filling out cards, haveno religious affiliation.The largest composite group,containing twelve Protestant de¬nominations, numbered 2,050, in¬cluding 344 Lutherans, 343 Pres¬byterians, and 312 Methodists.Those preferring the Jewish faithnumbered 1,233.

No one contests the point that mostof their floor space as well as their capital is de¬voted toward this end. However, if you should hap¬pen to enter the store by any door other than the'one on the northeast corner you would have topass by a post office, a sandwich counter, vendingmachines, a tobacco counter, and a brassiere bar(naming only a few of the general merchandiseStands) before catching sight of a book.This type of merchandise is, of course, neededby a great many people. It is a great convenienceto have such sundries so close to campus andpriced so reasonably.We only object that a great deal of this materialtakes up space that could be used to service agreater need—namely, more books.Not too many years ago, we are told, the book¬store had one of the finest rental libraries in town.Here, for a nominal quarterly charge, one couldavail himself of current novels, best selling non¬fiction, and other such light reading. We under¬stand that the rental library lost some money andwas subsequently discontinued when it was foundthat sweat shirts, slips, and Kaywoodie pipes weremore profitable. . So profitable in fact were the buttons and bowsthat now the counter space devoted to the sale anddisplay of books is small for a store of this size.We most painfully come to realize this at the be¬ginning of a quarter when everyone—undergradu¬ates as well as graduates — are crowded aroundtwenty-five feet of counter barking book titles atLionel, Mr. Allen, and their crew.Meanwhile the women at the stockings and stayscounters looked placidly at us in the mob. On theother hand, the clerks at the south end of the storeare now kept hopping each noon when studentsas well as Billings personnel, come in to eat thehot sandwiches, and jam coins into the two vend¬ing machines there.We don’t quite understand the rationale behindall the space allotted for ties and ashtrays. Peoplewho have seen exact figures declare that a greatdeal of money is made on these and the otheritems. We believe them. But, if so much money isbeing made that the southern side of the store issacrificed to flashbulbs and potato chips, whyaren’t these huge profits turning up in the formof faculty discounts, a bigger stock of texts, or thegood old rental library?Stores to give discountsStudent government has an¬nounced that a number ofstores in the UC neighborhoodhave agreed to give discountsto students.The program of canvassingfor discounts in college anduniversity neighborhoods wasoriginally a national programsponsored by the National students’ association in thelate 1940’s. The UC NS A re¬searched the original Chicagolist. SG took over the responsi¬bility for the project in about1951.With the exception of lastyear the list of Chicago storesgranting student discounts has been checked and publishedannually. The list this year in¬cludes all stores included onprevious lists with the excep¬tion of the Green door book¬store. (No bookstores are nowincluded.) SG expects the listto expand throughout theyear. In this day of swift international communications, like radio,television, and the raft, it becomes more and more importantto be solidly grounded in foreign languages. Accordingly, Ihave asked the makers of Philip Morris whether I might notoccasionally forego levity in this column and instead use it fora lesson in language."Of course, silly!” chuckled the makers of Philip Morris,tousling my yellow locks. Oh, grand men they are, just as fullof natural goodness as the cigarettes they make, just as cleanand fresh, just as friendly, just as agreeable to have along inall times and climes and places. "Of course, fond boy,” laughedthe makers and tossed me up and down in a blanket until, giddywith giggling, I bade them desist, and then we all had basinsof farina and smoked Philip Morrises and sang songs until thecampfire had turned to embers.For our first lesson in language we will take up French. Wewill approach French in the modern manner—ignoring thetedious rules of grammar and concentrating instead on idiom.After all, when we go to France, what does it matter if we canl>arse and conjugate? What matters is that we should be ableto speak idiomatic conversational French.So, for the first exercise, translate the following real, true-to-life dialogue between two real, true-to-life Frenchmen namedClaude (pronounced Clohd) and Pierre (also pronounced Clohd).CLAUDE: Cood morning, sir.

Jay GreenbergSteve CarsonMaggie StinsonBill Spady' t, Jay Greenberg4 • CHICAGO MAROON • November 6, 1959C A D F L¥Institutions revoke inalienable rightsIn many respects, pettythieves get better treatmentfrom the courts than do stu¬dents from their universities.For at least the thief is ac¬corded due process of law,which means the right to knowthe evidence against him, theright to face his accusers, and theright not to be convicted unlessthere is proof of his guilt beyonda reasonable doubt. These guar¬antees of fair play arq singularlyabsent from many academic dis¬missal procedures, however.Item: Recently, a student wasdismissed from the University ofIllinois medical school on chargesof cheating. At a hearing theschool refused to tell her whowere her accusers or what the evi¬dence against her was. The Illi¬nois courts upheld this abuse offairness by saying that it wasonly necessary that the schoolauthorities have heard “some evi¬dence.” How the student was toprove her innocence withoutknowing what she was chargedwith was not answered.Item: The Massachusetts courtshave held that fellow students right to cross-examine his secretinformers.Item: Florida ruled that a pri¬vate institution may expel a stu¬dent without preferring or prov¬ing any charges.Item: The New York courtshave held that a waiver preparedby the school and signed by allstudents permits the school to dis¬miss students without revealingits reasons so long as the schoolasserts that it was necessary to“safeguard university ideals."However, the school wasn’t forcedto show at all how the dismissaldid safeguard any such ideals.These are cases which got tothe courts. No, doubt there arecountless other equally if notmore brutal instances which didnot receive Such public attentionsimply because the victimized stu¬dent didn’t know his rights, or be¬cause he realized the futility oftrying to fight the school. Thereare some universities which doprovide certain guarantees totheir students, but how effectivesuch written statements in stu¬dent constitutions are is a far dif¬ferent matter. parents. The doctrine is some¬what absurd in the light of theage of most graduate students.When we consider the impactsuch a dismissal has on the stu¬dent’s future, it is almost incon¬ceivable that notions of fair playare given so little heed. Perhapsschools pretend that their stu¬dents are so delighted with thebenevolent (?) paternalism underwhich they operate that there isno need to play around with theold legalistic notion of due proc¬ess? Curiously enough, though,England, which has no dueprocess clause like we do, has heldsince 1723 that the school has theburden of showing that the stu¬dent committed the acts charged,and that the student has the rightto confront his witnesses.As a result of the notoriousEast house episode last year,where a boy in the dormitory wastried by a kangaroo court of theother boys in the house and wasfined and thrown out of the house,the Student Government passedan amendment to the Student Billof Rights guaranteeing studentsdue process of law in disciplinary procedures, which amendmentwas also approved by the studentbody. Whether this means any¬thing to the Dean’s office is amatter of speculation. Althoughthe Student Bill of Rights is sup¬posed to be a contract betweenthe Dean and the students, theDean has long asserted his superi¬ority to the Bill and has said thatthe Student-Faculty court (whichis supposed to enforce the guaran¬tees of it) has no jurisdiction overhftn. In other words, our Deanclaims absolute sovereignty overour University career. Let us pray that he infrequently exer¬cises it.Note.

I apologize againto all those who might legitimatelyexpect to he mentioned in an annual re¬port. This State of the University couldbetter be called, “Cruising and Musing onthe Tennessee River,” for I did in factspend the entire Spring Quarter cruisingup and down the Tennessee and musingabout the University of Chicago.“Muse” is a better word in this casethan “think,” quite apart from the rhyme;one does not think with one eye on adeclining gasoline gauge and the otheron treacherous ripples that mark debrisor stumps lurking just beneath the sur¬face.But is was a very good place indeed to .muse. Nobody I met had read the ChicagoReview, had heard of the Hyde Park-Ken-wood urban renewal problem or was even-aware of the difficulties of operating anadult education center in the Loop. Inthis happy and relaxed environment Imused about the recent past of our Uni¬versity and its long-range future.Geist of UC is pure researchIt may or may not be true that everygreat university has a kind of geist, orcharacter, or unity; I only know that thisone has. As I read our history, we hadit the day our doors opened, and therehas been no significant change since then.All sorts of people, including me, havetried to monkey with it, but nobody canwin. One may like or dislike it, but thereit is. It is not too easy to put into words,but its essence is a passionate dedicationto pure research and scholarship. Every¬thing else is secondary and derivative.This is the geist, the character, the unify¬ing principle of the institution. Most ofour mistakes—if one chooses to call themthat—have been the result of trying tomake some other objective, howeverworthy, superior or even equal to this.The old college is an example. It was asuperbly conceived and executed enter¬prise. One can only say in sorrow that itdid r.ot suit the nature of the beast. Toteach as a part of the quest for newknowledge has its dignity; only to teachhas none at this University.Our current difficulties at DowntownCollege are again related to this prob¬lem. Since the turn of the century, wehave instructed adults in a Ix»op loca¬tion, and most would agree that thisactivity is important, both in itself andas a part of our service to the commu¬nity. But, here again, this teaching hasnot in recent years reflected the geistof the institution; it is not the Univer¬sity of Chicago.Must Work Within CharacterIf this is our genius, so be it. It is amark of maturity to accept one’s funda¬mental character for what it is and pro¬ceed to solve life's problems within itscontext.What does this mean with reference tosome of our immediate problems? Itmeans that the appointment of Alan Simp¬son as new Dean of the new and integratedcollege was a good one. He has, like theUniversity itself, come through the oldcollege, he has established himself as agifted historical scholar, and he bringsthe standards of the ancient universitiesof Britain as well as our own to bear uponour problems.How will we put together our dedicationto research with gifted and enthusiasticundergraduate .teaching? At least the or¬ganizational pattern is correct; the restis Dean Simpson’s problem and the Col¬lege faculty’s responsibility. And the ap¬pointment of William Zachariasen as Deanof the Division of the Physical Scienceswas a good one too. Zach is a distinguishedresearch scientist with a hard, tough eyefor quality. Like all Norsemen, he is afighter by disposition, but he always fightson the side of research; and when heoccasionally loses, he goes along, stillcheei fully fighting.In this period of cold war and hothardware, the physical sciences have thegreatest temptation to deviate from thegenius of the University. If our Instituteof Metals, for example, really were everto become fully engaged in the realmof applied metallurgy, it would probablybe as big and flourishing as the GeneralElectric Company. But it properly, with¬in the context of our basic principle,limits itself to work on the fundamentalnature of matter, out of which, inci¬dentally, the solutions to some of ournation’s troubling practical problems ofmaterials, including metals and alloys,may well come.8 • CHICAGO MAROON • In (his connection, it might well be askedwhat this University is doing operatingan Institute for Air Weapons Research,the Chicago Midway Laboratories, andeven the Argonne National Laboratory.I can only answer that, increasingly in¬fected by the genius of the University,these laboratories are not only doing veryfundamental work indeed, but are contrib¬uting valuable assistance to other basicresearch programs within the University.For example, Explorer VI careens in orbitabout the earth emitting signals withroughly one-third of its payload devisedby John Simpson of the Enrico FermiInstitute for Nuclear Studies and magnifi¬cently instrumented by the Chicago Mid¬way Laboratories.Team's Work ExpandingBefore too long, we should be hearingfrom outer space in the vicinity of themoon, the sun and even Venus by courtesyof this same superb scientific team. It isnot altogether deplorable that occasionallyour work has practical consequences. Inan act of self-sacrifice of almost heroicproportions, Roger Hildebrand and AlbertCrewe all but gave up their research onthe campus this year to help carry throughto completion the building of a 121 i Bevsynchrotron at Argonne. In doing this,they have guaranteed that the ArgonneNational Laboratory will become an evengreater center for basic research, and itis no exaggeration to say that the highlytalented group now engaged in this en¬deavor will have saved high energy phys¬ics in the Middle West. With this giftedcombination in charge, the machine willwork and, perhaps even more important,it will work for those midwestern physi¬cists who propose to use it.What is the place of the professionalschool in a university of the kind I havedescribed? A professional school isusually thought of as that part of auniversity which receives its knowledgeready-made from basic areas and trans¬lates it into new configurations neces¬sary for the practice of a professionand the training of students in it.Our answer is our School of Medicinewhich, strictly speaking, is not a schoolat all but a part of the Division of theBiological Sciences, its faculty, like anyother faculty in the University, avidly insearch of new and fundamental knowl¬edge. Our other schools, with variationsappropriate to their history and subjectmatter, have followed this same guidingprinciple, and they are as oriented tobasic research as are our divisions. But,none the less, we should always worryabout them.A dog's lifeAir-conditioned palaces across the Mid¬way could—though they need not—sepa¬rate them from the geist of the Univer¬sity, and their success in money and publicesteem might seem to elevate them abovethe humble scholar in his quest for truth.At the risk of being misunderstood, Ishould remind you that we air-conditiononly the dogs at Billings Hospital, andperhaps this has some value as a symbolof our dedication.If it be thought that we treat ouranimals better than our people, I mustmention the Distinguished Service Pro¬fessorships which, down through theyears, have always been the highestawards the University could confer uponmembers of this faculty. It should beremembered that these are alwaysawarded for great distinction in researchand scholarship and for nothing else.The appointments this year of Profes¬sors Samuel K. Allison, Louis Gottschalk,Leo Strauss, and George Williamson arc very much within our honored tradition.Retirement after long and distinguishedservice to scholarship and the Universityis also an honorable estate, and with deeprespect and great affection we note theretirements of Garfield Cox, Lester Drag-stedt, and Eleanor Humphreys.It is a happy thing to honor our facultyand it is hard to lose them. The loss thisyear of William Bradbury, Dwight Clark,and Robert Redficld through death isparticularly tragic, for each in differentways was at the height of his powers,contributing to the advancement of scienceand to the honor of the University.The Tennessee Valley, through whichwe were leisurely cruising, was an idealplace for musing upon the future as wellas the past. While we flew a Confederateflag on our boat to assure the nativesthat we were friendly, we spent much ofour time in the locks of the great T.V.A.dams which supply power to Oak RidgeLaboratory for the separation of U235from U238. We ate catfish and hush pup¬pies beside the Redstone Arsenal whererockets were being designed to reach themoon.The South, more than any other landI know, is steeped in the past and sur¬rounded by a lively and bustling future.My musing on the future was furtherassisted by the arrival of the report ofthe subcommittee of the Council on ap¬pointments and promotions, called the Har¬ris Report for the adequate reason thatDaniel Harris spent almost two years ofhis life on it. It is the most thorough andIhoughtful study of the University I haveever read.University 'pretty good'As this report suggests, it is a prettygood university all right, and perhaps, ina few areas, it is the best there is. Butit is not so good as it was thirty yearsago, either absolutely or relatively. Per¬haps this distinction of relative and abso¬lute is one without a difference, for thesimple reason that there arc a lot moregood universities today than there werethirty years ago and the number of greatscholars and scientists has not inci’easedin proportion to the number of present-day distinguished institutions competingfor their services.These past thirty years have markedthe rise of the state university as amajor force in American higher educa¬tion, particuarly in the middle and farwestern parts of our country. For ex¬ample, Indiana. Illinois, Wisconsin, Min¬nesota, Michigan, and California atBerkeley are today spending moremoney on their acquisition programs fortheir libraries than is Chicago; Harperremains a great library, hut primarilybecause of materials purchased before1925 which are no longer obtainable.It is a good thing to have the statestake higher education seriously, but itcreates a new and tough competitive situ¬ation for the private university.How do we improve?It was this kind of musing that led meto the question: How can the Universityof Chicago remain a great university andindeed increase its stature in the timeto come? The question is an obvious oneand the generalized answer is equallyobvious: We have to do what we decideto do superlatively well. But as we breakthis general answer down, its componentsare not so obvious or easy to implement.We need first to recognize that the Uni¬versity of Chicago is now and will haveto remain a small institution. Eight yearsago the value of our endowment was$101,000,000. Today, after a hectic periodof money-raising and after taking fulladvantage of the rising market in securi- ties, the endowment stands at $200.000.0fKL. JLThis looked just dandy to me until I re-nicmbored that last year’s operating hud |tget alone for the Universities of California Iniwas $140,000,000. On July 1, 1931, we had J>uan academic faculty numbering 788; eight fnyears later the faculty numbers S30. an -Lincrease of 42 members. But during ihat~ fasame period our yearly budget increase4_X.$5,700,000, and I have yet to hear a fvifaculty member complain of being over- *upaid. J|,We have been running very hard and prfast to keep even with the inflationary laspiral, and some further running is in- |iidicatcd for the future. But the picture [his not all bad. If we are to believe the hirecent figures of a survey made by the * f>lAAUP, our salary averages at the vari-^Tgous ranks are equal to the very Ix-st, 7>fand this is the way they should lie,only more so. Our ability to maintainand increase these salaries depends en¬tirely upon our remaining roughly the r1same size as we now are. Ami this in iUturn means that only after the most ’ "vP1careful consideration should we embarkupon new activities, including, may fadd, those new, innovating, “break-through” activities that so excite the <(imagination of the foundation officers. 1,1The very fact that we are a privateuniversity, accountable to the law and aiour own conscience, gives ns a readvantage over our public sisters.We are not obligated to establish a~school of engineering because there isa local need for It, or a course in bar- SlImr management because of the St. I.aw- 11rcuee Seaway. And there is good reason "why we should take a long look at someof the things we are now doing to see ^if they are worth doing or if we arcdoing them well. Mediocrity is the singleintolerable tiling; when we find it, we 1must eliminate it if we are to surviveas a great university.As a kind of footnote to this observation,let me give you some dangerous thoughtsmy musings led me toward. I, and a lot o*other well-intentioned people, have longthought of the great private universitythe pioneering, the innovating university.I still think so, but I also think it timelyto inject a note of caution. Research is apatient, plodding, cumulative process, oc¬casionally lighted by a flame of genius.Even the brilliant work of Darwin whieMprwe commemorate this year was built upon i;observations and thinking which long prtV-'Tcoded him. And there is no substitute in rgreat teaching for the learning and con- itagious enthusiasm of the teacher, though -cthese fundamental virtues may be assisted (by curricular and methodological innova- ition. Solid excellence must accompany ib' —lnovation if jt is to be significant, and that Ibreathless breakthrough often turns jto be a gimmick or a gadget that briefly sdazzles those who are determined quickly <to save the world. 1Promotions to tenureIf we are to remain a small university 1Of the highest excellence, more attention"First and most important we are an institution devoted to basic re¬search with all that implies.November 6, 1959t w*j thirty years 090, either absolutely or relo-MUkt#o( UyIt sininotcc bo given, as the Harris report cor-tly points out, to promotions to tenure,simply is the truth that we have pro-lotcd too many too easily, too often fromfur own graduates, and too frequentlyfrom those who have served time without- ka^tienlar distinction in our own lower" fanks._ ^_Tjic awfully nice fellow with a charmingttife and family is a dangerous man, moreSubversive than the communist. He is notthe staff from which great universitiesire made. There is too much nonsensetalked about the hardship created by let¬ting a inan go who has passed throughthe apprentice ranks, and it is darklyfeinted that we shall not bo thought a goodfilace to start if we. do not promote to.Tgiuire the great majority of those whoregin their careers with us.Idea NonsenseThis is pure balderdash. Chicago will re-jmain a great place to begin one’s teachingand research as long as it remains a greatTplAi e, and not a day longer, and it willtease to be a great place if we promote■^•H^lhe nice young fellows around. We allknow at least one great university of thiscountry which almost never promotes totenure from its own lower ranks, and itremains a superlatively good place to go toand be from. This same university, after--*'*me three hundred years of disillusion¬ing experience with the cussedness of^ffttidemic human nature, instituted a sys¬tem of outside, ad hoe committees,- pre¬sumably to shame the local faculty into-making recommendations to tenure ofreal stature.I for one would be sorry to see us rc-^*>rt to such a system. It is cumbersome,^expensive, time-consuming, and, how-^"er much it is glossed over with aca¬demic genteelisms, it indicates an ad¬ministrative distrust of local motiva¬tions and standards. Anyway, I haveread too many glowing letters—someeven about me—and I have had too" much bail outside advice to give muchcredence to foreign counselors who,"•~xftor all, have nothing to lose. It is ouruniversity, and no system involving out¬siders is going to save it; we must relyfinally upon our own sound and honestjudgment.There is no particular problem with then^ally first-rate department. It, of course,is always an administrative headache; it'aftvays demands more than its share ofmoney and endless special privilege. Butit recommends good people for promotionand it is ruthless in weeding out the unfit.Occasionally—and here the storm warn¬ings should be unfurled a department has^been so good for so long that in its sub¬lime arrogance it decides that only its ownProducts can succeed the masters. A fewsuch appointments, a few deaths, and acouple of retirements, and the great de¬partment is no longer great.But it is the weak department that isIhe real problem. There seems to be noforce on earth that can induce a weak de- of the University" speechpartment to recommend good appoint¬ments. Whether it is a fear of beingeclipsed by abler young people, or whetherits members simply are not acquaintedwith any competent scholars in the field,I do not know. Industry, when faced withthis predicament, can kick upstairs, bringabout early retirement, or even occasion¬ally fire somebody, but in the academic,the administration can only sign and passon, awaiting through retirement or deaththe opportunity of appointing a new chair¬man of the department.Department headsNow my musings on the Tennessee leadme to say something rather special aboutdepartment heads. In what I have to say Idon’t wish to seem to malign the deans;a good (lean is a very pleasant thing tohave around, but he shares the weaknessof the head of the institution—he rarelyknows what is going on. The departmentchairman, and the dean of a professionalschool to a slightly less extent, are directlyconfronted by the faculty, and a good ora bad chairman can make or break a de¬partment.A great deal can be said, incidentally,for the old head of a department, a sys¬tem which we inherited from our Eu¬ropean aneestors and which we in theAmerican universities have now largelyabandoned. He was appointed for life,it was his department, and he ran it.And I mean he really ran it. The run¬ning of a department was a career, asimportant to the head as his own re¬search and teaching, and sometimes farmore so. All decisions were his alterwhatever eonsultation he chose to en¬gage in; but he knew that the stature ofhis department was his own stature inthe university and in the academicworld in general.There were some great departmentheads in those days and, more important,there were some great departments. Istill share enough of the faculty resent¬ment for the administrator to realize thatthe old system had to go, but there arcsome lessons here for us. What is every¬body's responsibility is nobody’s respon¬sibility, and a present-day chairman musthave more of a function than presiding atmeetings. He must be selected with greatcare by the faculty and administration,and he must be armed with real power.Of course, he should consult with his sen¬ior colleagues before any major moves,but he can become immobilized by toomuch democratic razzle-dazzle.Above all else, the department must behis real responsibility, rather than a ro¬tating chore that he reluctantly assumesfor his alloted term. The chairman of thedepartment is the one the administrationof the university can trust in the all-impor¬tant business of promotions and it is onhim that the future quality of the univer¬sity rests.Future questionableAs I mused along ihe Tennessee, it be¬came increasingly clear to me that the future of the great private university pri¬marily dedicated to pure research wastouch and go. The excellence of our peopleis the only thing that matters, and theHarris Committee reminds us that 66 percent of our staff has been appointed inthe last ten years. It is a terrifyingthought, but, almost literally speaking, auniversity can be made or broken in adecade. As a result of these ruminations, Ibegan to sum up our assets and liabilitiesin our pursuit of excellence.One of our chief difficulties, of course,is the neighhorhood, but I am less wor¬ried about it than I was eight years ago.An (Tbvious reason is that much of it isbeing torn down and rebuilt. But thereare other reasons too. The deteriorationof our surroundings has brought ourfaculty community closer together, bothlitefally and figuratively. The vast ma¬jority lives within a mile radius of theuniversity, and it is as pleasant andhappy a community as you could findin the most bucolic of our sister insti¬tutions. More than that, most of theother major universities are in troubletoo, and I discover that their troublesare even more acute than our own.Faculty who have actually lived in HydePark-Kenwood like it, and I seriouslydoubt that it now constitutes a major fac¬tor in the decision of a faculty memberto leave the university. But bringing a newand distinguished faculty member to ourcampus is a different problem. Here I be¬lieve the difficulty is the city of Chicagoitself. Broad shoulders, freight-handlersand hog butchers are not everyone’s dishof tea, if you will allow me to mix a neatmetaphor. You will recall the story, prob¬ably apocryphal, of the child of one ofMr. Harper’s early appointments drawnfrom Harvard. As the youngster ended hisbedtime prayer the night before they leftCambridge, he said, “Good-bye, God, we’regoing to Chicago.’’I happen to love the city myself, with itsvitality, its culture, and its beauty, but thefact remains that Chicago—and even theMidwest—does not constitute a lure forsome people.Lacks glamourA second handicap is what might becalled the University of Chicago’s lack ofglamour, though this creates far more ofa problem in money-raising and recruitingstudents than it does in keeping and ob¬taining a distinguished faculty. Chicagohas no marching band, no winning footballteam, no handsome fraternity and sororityrow, and few of the things that alumni andthe public in general treasure about uni¬versity life.Research has a glamour of its own forthose who do it, and occasionally its re-subs awe and even terrify the public, butour press relations man is hard put to findmaterial the newspapers are willing toprint. This lack, if it really is one, doesn’tworry me too much. Absolute quality inresearch and teaching wins in the longrun, and, while I wouldn’t mind tolerating a little mote real fun around the place,we can survive and even flourish with¬out it.Our greatest handicap is our compe¬tition. When Chicago was founded, ittowered above all other institutions westof the New England Seaboard. One didnot associate Nobel Prize winners andGuggenheim Fellows with state univer¬sities, but this is a commonplace today.Here" again, though, there is a ray ofhope if we can maintain our character asa small institution dedicated to pure re¬search and high-level teaching. The states,whether out of pride or necessity, are con¬tinually increasing their commitment tohigher education within their borders.They are building new junior colleges, andcreating or absorbing new four-year insti¬tutions; by 1965 they will be swamped bystudents at all levels whom they are ob¬ligated to train. The single great univer¬sity of the state runs a serious risk ofbeing weakened by the ambitions of themore specialized and localized public insti¬tutions within the state which have beenvery successful in their appeals to thelegislature based on local pride and serviceto the local constituency. From the over¬all viewpoint of the strength of Americaneducation, this tendency worries me, butit reinforces my conviction that we at Chi¬cago should go right on being what wetruly are and doing what comes natur¬ally.Basic research our virtueWhat are the virtues of our character?First and most important, we are an insti¬tution dedicated to basic research, with allthat that implies. This sets the tone andcreates the atmosphere that is Chicago.The teaching loads are light, the commit¬tee assignments arc minimal, and the de¬mands of the university that would dis¬tract a man from his primary responsibility are few. There is an easy communi¬cation across departmental lines makingfor interdisciplinary research and leadingnaturally to institutes and committeeswhich draw together men of diverse back¬grounds who share a common researchinterest.Our system of government, too, is asensitive instrument which allows for theeasy flow of intelligence and counsel be¬tween faculty and administration, and pro¬vides privileged information for the en¬tire faculty. I use privileged here advisedlyto remind us that the frank and open dis¬cussions which so mark this university canbe ruined by those thoughtless or mali¬cious ones who release such informationto the public.We are a rich university as privateuniversities go. We have enough moneythrough endowment income, gifts, andtuition receipts to do the tilings we needand want to do so long as we have a careabout the size of the institution and theperipheral activities we engage in. Oursalary average is one of the best in thecountry, and we are determined to makeit the best.The Humanities and the library are softspots in our budget, and these we proposeto remedy. But most important of all is theair of freedom, even of magnificence, thatpervades the place. These are wise andgood men who surround us, dedicated tothe search for truth and in easy and freecommunication with one another. Theseare our assets, and these we must preserveand indeed exploit in the future.We must- navigate carefullyThe Tennessee is a beautiful river; itwinds through open country and thenenters deep canyons with ominous bluffs.Occasionally wide tributaries enter theriver, and here one navigates carefullylest he mistake the stream for the riveritself. There are other hazards, of course.Below the surface lurk stumps and water¬logged debris and occasionally the boathits one with resultant damage and lossof pride. And always ahead loom the gi¬gantic dams as obstacles, but there arelocks through them, and one has only tomoor carefully to prevent the turbulencefrom capsizing the craft.We had a good compass, accurate maps,plenty of power in the motors, and thepeople of the country were friendly. Whenwe started in early spring, the water wasdark and murky from the rains, but itcleared gradually, as we approached thepoint at which the Tennessee joins themighty Ohio, becoming a bright deep blue.It takes an unconscionable time to gofrom Knoxville to Paducah because ofthe twistings and turnings of the river,but the river knows where it is goingand that way is west.• CHICAGO MAROON • 9"It moy or may not be true Hiot every great university has a kind ofiei«t, or character, or unity; I only know that this one has."November <5 1959Bourdel speaks at politics club Is he credit or debit?A jug of Wine,A loaf of Breadand lA/i ns ton'sFilter-Blend !Claude Bourdel, editor ofFrance Observateur, andchairman of the Union de laGauche Socialist (UGS) spokeat the meeting of the Politicsclub last Friday. In his speech,which asked “Is France still ademocracy ?” Bourdel said“France is a democracy, but notin the American sense. France isactually a monarchy without acrown. It is more like Britain thanthe US.” Bourdel described theFrench government as “a con¬servative authoritarian regimewith a plebiscite system.”Speaking of De Gaulle, Bourdelsaid he “has a messianic com¬plex. but he is the only single per¬son in France who can stave offcivil war. If De Gaulle were to disappear there would be civilwar.” Bourdel stated that it some¬times was necessary for De Gaulleto use “dictatorial measures, suchas censorship and refusing to per¬mit certain papers which printarticles unfavorable to the armyto publish. The majority of news¬papers are not hurt by this typeof blackmail. It merely backfiresand calls the people’s attentionto these items.”Bourdel attributes France’s dif¬ficulties to the colonial situationin general, and to Algeria in par¬ticular. “We are fighting a warthat we cannot win. It is a tre¬mendous drain on the Frencheconomy.” Borde^l feels that Al¬geria must be pacified beforeFrance can return to a truly dem¬ocratic form of government.This is difficult, as the army feels “disgraced by the politicians.The average Frenchman believesthat the colonials really wantFrance to help them. This createsgrave international problems.”Bourdel feels that De Gaulle’ssolution is correct, as De Gaullewants peace with the rebels.” In honor of the Darwin cen¬tennial celebration UC willpresent “Time Will Tell,’' ahistorical musical comedybased on Darwin’s life.Written by Robert Ashenhurstand Robert Poliak, produced byMarion Kornoksky and MaryFor rentl-l«<»-2-3 rm. furnished aptf.

Bengtson, in his firstyear at Chicago is satisfied withthe turnout, but hopes to pick upa few more prospects after the in¬tramural wrestling tournamentNovember 16 and 19, and the closeof the fall sports season.The nucleus of the team con¬sists of three returning lettermenplus a trio of new students withsubstantial amateur experience.The coach reflected some disap¬pointment in the loss of some eli¬gible lettermen to the armedforces and others because of theirunwillingness to turn out."We won’t lose to a team be¬cause of their record or name,”he emphasized. "The boys arevery determined, and a team willhave to be better than we are tobeat us.” He is interested in apossible match pitting the varsityagainst graduate school on Fri¬ day, November 20.

Fern characterized Lautrecas functioning in a demi-monde,and discussed why and how Lau¬trec became interested in theseareas.Linking Lautrec’s grotesque legdeformity with his interest in the“pathology of Parisian life,” Fernmentioned that the artist fre¬quented Montmartre, and was anobserver in brothels, even livingin one for some time. It was inthis period of his life that Lautrecmet the man who was opening anight club in a remodeled mill, ared one at that — the MoulinRouge. Lautrec’s first poster,printed in 1892, was done for thisclub. From 1892 to 1901 when hedied, dissipation severely affect¬ing his health, Lautrec produceda total of 368 prints. Fern analyzed the posters asconsisting of highly controlledlines used to indicate character,and further pointed out that Lau¬trec often achieves an affect ofan elevated off-center perspectiveby using a diagonal cutting acrossthe picture. He also frequentlycuts parts of figures out of hispictures, Fern stated.Japanese woodcuts, which werepopular in Paris at the time, alsoemployed curious viewpoints and expressive linear representation,Fern observed, and added thatthese woodcuts were also not con¬cerned with scenes of the “highlife,” as are usually selected forpainting subjects.Fern called attention to Lau¬trec’s use of large and simpleareas of color corresponding tothe contours of his reduced lines.Lautrec used this restriction ofmeans to convey his charactersin the “jangling environment” of Parisian life where his workswere displayed, Fern added.Fern attributed the popularityof posters as advertising mediain the mid and late 19th centuryto the development of improvedlithographic techniques. The lith¬ograph process, said Fern, allowedfor the reproduction of artworkswithout a sense of mechanical in¬tervention. the artist having onlyto draw directly on a stone fromwhich the print was transferred. 3 0 Ilfs]133 1VH S3 a dSI1V3ToilayvwnH9 I 1iva d s ■Q S1 1S E 0 JV a 3 3 S S3 9 N V J.d 3 n w 3-L N 3 i 3 a3 I 1 i N 3d ts 1 |V O 9tiJMSNV 1QDHCheerful, newly decorated, attrac-tievly furnished apartment.

Shapley on stellar evolutionby David IngleIf the participants in the coming Darwjn Centennial program should set down their cumu¬lative wisdom in an “evolutionists Bible,” we should expect Harvard’s Harlow Shapley tocompose the equivalent of the first chapter of Genesis and a section of the Book of Job.(After all, H. J. Muller has given us his up-to-date version of Revelations.) In his contribu¬tion to the Centennial program, entitled “On the Evidences of Inorganic Evolution,”Shapley summarizes the viewpoints of modern cosmologists as to the origin of the universe,and summarily decries the anthro- *pocentric tendencies which stain pared with the amplitude of a last two points, especially, set athe fabric of contemporary intel- br0w painted by Raphael.” dramatic tone to the conceptionlectual achievement.

Ingeneral, it has been awful, and in particular, Chicago rain is the most maddening element Ihave ever run into. And that is exactly what is the matter with it. I run into it. It doesn't fall,it just hangs there and waits for some poor fool to come along and get wet.Now, no one can do anything about the weather, but to make it the fault of the helplesshuman beings, and it is their fault because they're the ones who are moving, is patently un¬fair.

ColinSlimm to conduct and act asfaculty sponsor for the Uni¬versity orchestra and gleeclub, and for the UC musicalsociety, announced LeonardMeyer, acting chairman of themusic department.Th i s appointment, and thecloser affiliation between the stu¬dent organizations and the musicdepartment resulting from the ap¬pointment were effected for sev¬eral reasons, said Meyer. "Some¬one has to be responsible for thegeneral musical tone of the cam¬pus,” said Meyer. "Music cannotbe run in a piecemeal way. Be¬cause there was no solid organiza¬tion, the groups on campus weregoing downhill. The Music depart¬ment felt that this, problem wasour responsibility."Also, we wanted to provide aplace where our own studentscould get useful practical musicalexperience. Music majors are nowrequired to participate in eitherthe University orchestra or theglee club, in addition to the regu¬lar theory courses. They arestrongly encouraged to join theMusical Society."And finally,” Meyer added, “weCINEMATHEATREChicago at MichiganStudent Rate.75upon presentation of currentI.D. cordEvery Day Except Sat. feel that the musical tone of thecampus reflects the quality of theMusic department, in the eyes ofthe public.”H" Colin Slimm, the new direc¬tor of the three musical organiza¬tions, received his BA at Colum¬bia, and has spent the past fiveyears in the Harvard music de¬partment, teaching as well asstudying, receiving his doctoratefrom Harvard last year. He con¬ducted the Concord orchestra forone year, and last year served asassistant director of the Harvardglee club.Both the orchestra and the gleeclub are run by a student execu¬tive, stated Slimm. The executivechooses and runs programs underSlimm’s supervision.The UC orchestra’s first concertwill be December 4th in Mandelhall. The program will include theBrahm’s Academic FestivalTschaikovsky’s 5th symphony,and Hindemith’s Nobilissima Vis-ione. Because there are only fivemore rehearsals before the con¬cert no more auditions for the or¬chestra will be accepted this quar¬ter. However, membership willagain be open at the beginning ofnext quarter.The Glee club’s first concertwill be in January. The club will probably concentrate on 16th cen¬tury music, with some 18th andperhaps 19th century music, stat¬ed Slimm.The Musical society, an organ¬ization formed in the early 1950’sto promote chamber music and toexperiment with new music bystudents and contemporary com¬posers, meets often to play anddiscuss various musical works.The first meetings this quarterwill be held Sunday evening at8:30 in the East lounge of IdaNoyes. All those interested areinvited to attend.The University orchestra wasfounded in the 1930’s. At that timethere was no department of musicat UC. Brickner, the founder ofthe orchestra, tried to make theorchestra as strong as possible."They gave football playing schol¬arships to violinists, then,” saysMeyer.When asked what changes he ismaking in the campus musical or¬ganizations; Slimm stated that hewas making the groups moretightly run. "You can’t performmusic with people who only comeoccasionally. The groups are opento anyone interested. But if peopledon’t come they will be droppedfrom the organization,” Slimmsaid of the orchestra and glee club.t*4u S3 id t'olyde park theatre Student rate 65cupon presentation of ID cardEye ExaminationsVisual TrainingDr. Kurt Rosenbaumoptometristll32 E. 55th StreetHYde Park 3-8372 Now playing:Marek Hlasko's Prize-winning Novel“8th Day of the WeekThe film that became the subject of an international tug-of-war whenPoland's Party Leader, Gomulka, banned it and ordered its withdrawalfrom the Cannes Film Festival.

Both coffinand corpse were missing. On Jan¬uary 1, 1912, the UC chapter ofAlpha Kappa Kappa, nationalmedical fraternity proudly dis¬played a new skeleton and coffin.The skeleton belonged to a manwho had been about 5' 7" tall whoweighed about 145 pounds. Thecoffin was built for a man of thatsize.No explanation has ever beenoffered for the presence of thecoffin and skeleton at the Alpha Kappa Kappa house. For forty-seven years it has remainedproudly on display.Today, however, the coffinserves a new purpose. It plays aleading part in University Thea¬tre’s production of “Pepel, the Un¬buried Russian.” It will serve asthe coffin used by the DistrictCommissioner of the Peoples’Protectorate.‘ Pepel,” which opens tonight inMandel hall, is by Jim Damico.The play won the 1959 CharlesH.
