The University RecordVolume XV JULY I929 Number 3THE NEW PRESIDENTTHE University has a new President. On April 17, 1929, theTrustees after hearing a report prepared by the committee appointed May 10, 1928, to consider the future presidency, whichreport recommended the election of Dean Robert Maynard Hutchins ofthe Yale Law School, unanimously voted to elect him President of theUniversity of Chicago. As may be inferred by the time which has elapsedsince the appointment of the special committee, the investigation hasbeen thorough in every particular. It has considered the eligibility ofmany men and their special fitness for the position of President. Thecommittee on the presidency consisted of five Trustees and five membersof the faculties. The Trustees were Charles W. Gilkey, Scott Bond,Thomas E. Donnelley, Albert W. Sherer, Harold H. Swift, and RobertL. Scott, alternate; members who represented the denominational requirements of the charter, the alumni, both the older and younger members of the Board, and two of its officers. The members chosen from thefaculties were: Professors William E. Dodd, Henry G. Gale, Gordon J.Laing, Charles E. Merriam, and Frederic Woodward, besides three alternates: Frank R. Lillie, Franklin C. McLean, and L. C. Marshall (thelast named resigned from the University before the final report wasmade) . These advisory faculty members were chosen by vote of the University Senate of professors of full rank. The faculty members of thecommittee included the vice-president and dean of faculties, two deansof graduate schools, and two chairmen of departments, exclusive of thealternate members.The joint committee unquestionably was intended to voice the judgment of the Board of Trustees and of the teaching staff and undoubtedlydid provide the best possible expression of executive, administrative, andusIi6 THE UNIVERSITY RECORDacademic opinion. The result of the activities and investigation of thecommittee is evidence of the thoroughness of its search and the wisdomof its choice. President Hutchins' election has been heralded the countryover with enthusiasm and the more intimately the Trustees, the faculties,the alumni, the students, and the friends of the University have come toknow him, the greater the volume of enthusiasm and real satisfactionhas grown.Naturally enough the newspapers, quick to sense anything dramaticin public events, have pounced upon the youth of the new President,meanwhile inventing and proclaiming delightfully imaginative tales of hisstudent days and weird stories of his administrative achievements. Thisflood of publicity, undoubtedly distasteful to the new head of the University, has been so well distributed that President Hutchins begins hisadministration on September i, better known over the land than is theexperience of most newly elected university presidents who have givendecades to preparation for their tasks. The joyous exaggeration will soonbe forgotten, but the real achievement of the man will be remembered.In this connection it has been recalled that while President Harperwas elected to the presidency of the University when he was thirty-fouryears of age, he was only thirty years of age when Dr. Thomas W. Good-speed wrote to him, three weeks after the old University had ended itscareer, that the former instructor of Hebrew at Morgan Park must returnto Chicago as president of the new university. From that time until hisformal election by the Board of Trustees on September 18, 1890, it waswell known and generally assumed that the presidency would be offered tohim if he were willing to accept the important although at that time hazardous position. There are a host of friends of the University who areexpecting that the second young president will prove, as did the first, thatthirty years' youth is an asset and not a liability.The University Record is permitted to print portions of the reportwhich recommended Mr. Hutchins to the suffrages of the Board of Trustees. The report includes the following statement of facts which necessarily has been abbreviated:Robert Maynard Hutchins comes of old New England ancestry and of a familythat is active in education. His father, William James Hutchins, graduate of Yaleand of the Union and Oberlin Theological Seminaries, is President of Berea College,Kentucky. His mother, Anna Laura Murch Hutchins, is a graduate of Mount Holy-oke College.Mr. Hutchins was born in Brooklyn, January 17, 1899. He studied at OberlinAcademy, having been graduated in 1915, and then went to Oberlin College for twoyears, entering the ambulance service of the United States in 19 17. He served withthe ambulance corps until 1919, and was with the Italian army in 1918-19. TheItalian government decorated him with the croce de guerra for bravery under fire.Entering Yale after leaving the service in 1919, he received his A.B. degree in 192 1.THE NEW PRESIDENT 117While an undergraduate, Mr. Hutchins was prominent in many of the activitiesof the student body. He was captain of the Yale debating team, member of AlphaDelta Phi fraternity, of the Elizabethan Club, and the Senior society, Wolf's Head.Among his undergraduate honors were election to Phi Beta Kappa and to DeltaSigma Rho, honorary debating society. As a student he was self-supporting, one ofthe means by which he paid his way being the organization and management of aco-operative tutoring bureau, a group of student tutors.After spending two summers and one college year in the Yale Law School, in192 1 Mr. Hutchins married Maude Phelps McVeigh, daughter of Warren McVeigh,of the New York Sun. Mrs. Hutchins, a graduate of the St. Margaret's School,Waterbury, Connecticut, and of the Yale School of Fine Arts, has achieved distinction as a sculptor, winning prizes for her work. Mr. and Mrs. Hutchins have onechild, a daughter Frances, three years old.For two years following his marriage, Mr. Hutchins was master at the LakePlacid School, New York, spending the intervening summer at the Yale Law School.In 1923 he was appointed secretary of Yale University, succeeding Anson PhelpsStokes, and in 1924 he continued his study of law during the summer. He was graduated from the Law School in 1925 with an LL.B. degree, magna cum laude, and waselected to the Order of the Coif because of his scholastic record. After graduation,he taught in the Law School, becoming a full-time professor in 1926, but retainingthe secretaryship of the university. When Dean Thomas W. Swan of the LawSchool was appointed to the Circuit Court of Appeals, Mr. Hutchins was madeacting dean, and afterward was appointed dean.Mr. Hutchins has had experience in university administration, teaching, andthe development of research in the social sciences. He obtained his administrativeexperience as secretary of Yale University for five years, and has been a teacher oflaw for practically the same period. As dean of the Yale Law School, he organized,in co-operation with Dr. Milton C. Winternitz, dean of the Yale Medical School,the Institute of Human Relations, which is to focus the social and biological sciencesin a study of man and human relationships. As his individual contribution to thisnew type of study he has investigated the psychological aspects of the law of evidence. He and Professor Donald Slesinger, of Yale, are publishing in the fall a bookembodying the results of a two-year study of the subject. In establishing a closerapplication of the social sciences to the law, Mr. Hutchins expanded the law facultyby adding to its members professors in such fields as political economy and politicalscience. Two of these, Walter F. Dodd and Walter H. Hamilton, are former University of Chicago faculty members. While Mr. Hutchins was developing the application of social science to the law, a similar experiment was being made in the medical school by Dean Winternitz. The endeavor iii the medical school was concernednot only with the applied aspects of the biological sciences, but with the border-linefield of human behavior in its relation to medicine, particularly with reference to abetter understanding of the relationship of psychiatry with medicine. The two Yaleexperimenters in education planned their efforts in two fields together, and finally tocorrelate the program and make it effective in all branches of human endeavor, conceived the plan of the Institute.Mr. Hutchins is a member of the Congregational church. The committee wassatisfied after thorough conference that his religious views and attitudes are such asto befit a President of the University of Chicago.PRESIDENT HUTCHINS'S FIRSTCONVOCATION ADDRESS1TODAY from a hundred different platforms in a hundred different schools and colleges people in your helpless position are being told what the world expects of them. They are shown thetremendous advantages they have received in being supported by theirfamilies or the state, though all undeserving, so that they might enjoythe peaceful pleasures of education. And they are shown, too, the tremendous obligations which such advantages inevitably entail. Nor arethey left without a word of warning that morality, industry, energy, andservice, to say nothing of other delightful characteristics, are demandedof every American citizen by his fellow countrymen.On this occasion I shall not go into any of these matters, first, because I have no doubt that they are being gone into sufficiently elsewhere,and, second, because my sole purpose today is to make your acquaintancebefore you sally forth from these quadrangles. This is not an inauguraladdress nor a Convocation oration; it is simply an expansion of thewords: Hail and farewell. And that expansion must take the form, forwant of any other, of an attempt to state briefly some of the things thata law school dean thinks about after he has worked at every educationallevel from the secondary school up.Among all sorts of people in all kinds of places it has become thefashion to attack American education. Some criticisms one may passby quickly as too silly to be entertained by people intelligent enough todeserve attention. One such is that higher education makes men immoral and godless. Another, closely related to the first, is that it upsetsand disturbs young people. This may be phrased alternatively to readthat the universities are teaching bolshevism. Although I am sure thatno one here present ever held such ideas, they are by no means confinedto the illiterate or the reactionary. One of the greatest scholars of thecountry, and the greatest in his chosen field in the world, wrote a university president of a man who was about to be made a dean, "I wish strenuously to advise you not to make this appointment; Mr. X is a man whowill unsettle the minds of the young men at a time when they are most inneed of settling."1 Delivered in the University Chapel on the occasion of the One Hundred andFifty-fifth Convocation of the University, June n, 1929.118PRESIDENT'S CONVOCATION ADDRESS 119THE PURPOSE OF HIGHER EDUCATIONThis conception of education as a process of settling, of hardening,of the fixation of sound principle and righteous dogma in the youth ofAmerica brings me at once to state my own view of the purpose of university training. It is exactly the opposite of that of the eminent andlearned gentleman to whom I have referred. It is that the object ofhigher education is to unsettle the minds of young men, to widen theirhorizons, to inflame their intellects. And by this series of mixed metaphors I mean to assert that education is not to teach men facts, theories,or laws; it is not to reform them, or amuse them, or to make them experttechnicians in any field; it is to teach them to think, to think straight, ifpossible; but to think always for themselves. If we should send a graduate of our law school to the bar who had memorized the Constitution andall the statutes and decisions in the country, I should think we had miserably failed, unless he had developed a critical faculty and a power ofindependent reasoning which probably could not live along with so muchdetailed information. By the same token a graduate of our law schoolwho could not repeat a line of the Constitution, and had never got a caseby heart would still be a product of whom we could be proud if he hadfound here a habit of work, an ability to handle his material, to effectnew combinations, to exercise creative imagination, in a word, to think.At every age their elders have a way of underestimating the development of the young. As a result many people seem to have the notionthat the processes of education are simple and easy, that the studentcomes to college a sort of plastic mass to be molded by the teacher inwhatever likeness he will. It is for this reason that parents have sometimes felt they could solve their domestic problems by turning them overto the educator. In preparatory-school work I have observed this phenomenon time and time again. A lady once presented to my headmasterher son, nineteen years old, saying, "He has been terribly spoiled. Hehas never done any work. I didn't like to push him. He was so frail.Now you take him, and make a man of him, and interest him in hisstudies." And my headmaster replied substantially in the words of Tennyson, "Late, late, too late, ye cannot enter now . ... 1 " It is sad buttrue that at eighteen or nineteen or upon graduation from high schoolit is too late to take a boy and make a man of him and interest him in hisstudies. He has solidified, too often in more ways than one. But even ifit were possible physiologically and psychologically, the college should notattempt the job. Because of its size, because its funds were given to itfor another purpose, it can only to a very limited degree spend its time120 THE UNIVERSITY RECORDand money in supervising a student's conduct, in regulating his dailyhabits, in forcing him to improve his mind and body against his will. Thecollege is there, with all its opportunities. Broadly speaking, he may takeit or leave it. And what this comes down to is that if a man has not character, if he has not the germs of intellectual interest, if he does not careto amount to anything, the college cannot give him a character or intellectual interest or make him amount to anything. It may complete thetask. It is too late to begin it.For this reason the picture of the professors of America underminingreligion, communizing the sons of capital, and knocking the lares andpenates off the shelf generally is far removed from reality. I once taughta class of college Freshmen a course called, "Introduction to the SocialSciences." But there were many aspects of the social sciences to whichI could not introduce them, because they would not let me. There wasonly one Democrat in the class, and he battled alone against the protective tariff, with a degree of success in exact proportion to his numericalstrength. The question whether vast military and naval expenditureswere necessary could hardly be raised, because everybody knew that theUnited States was the greatest nation on earth and ought to keep othercountries in a state of wholesome awe. Suggestions that there were someslight weaknesses in the party system in this country, or in our foreignpolicy since the war, or that there were a few words one could say forthe labor unions, were repelled as unworthy of a college professor. Thesocial and political dogmas inculcated at the paternal breakfast tablethese gentlemen had accepted whole, nor were they inclined to listen tothe words of an academic person as against the teachings of practicalmen. Under these circumstances the most that a teacher can hope to dois to galvanize or stimulate; he cannot hope to persuade. And even inthe hope he is entitled to he is frequently disappointed. The classic example is that of the Harvard professor who remarked to his class oneday: "The fool hath said in his heart there is no God." And all the classwrote down in their notebooks: "Professor X says there is no God."IF WE UNDERSTOOD WHAT A UNIVERSITY ISSuch misconceptions on the part of students and their relatives wouldnever arise if we understood at the outset what a university is and whatit is for. My pupils in the preparatory school in which I once taught,when asked for an essay on why they wanted to go to college would almost to a man reply, and reply in English that reflected no credit on theirinstructor, that they wanted to go to college "to get to know the fellows."The fellows were good fellows, I was told, who provided one anotherPRESIDENTS CONVOCATION ADDRESS 121during college with the gayest amusements and the most profitable relationships, and who afterward formed a great brotherhood of men readyand willing to help out socially, politically, and financially those of thebrethren who might be down on their luck, ostracized from their party, orout of a job. And if we engage in a little introspection we may find thatour reasons for going to college did not vary greatly from those of myformer students. To far too many people a college degree is no indicationof mental training or maturity. It is the badge of social attainment, theopen sesame into the company of people who matter.Now you may have heard that your generation is the hope of America. Perhaps it is. Mine used to be. But if your generation makes no better use of its educational opportunities than mine has there is little hopethat the millennium will soon arrive or, if it does, that education willhave been responsible for its coming. My father is connected with acollege devoted to the mountain people of the South. The other day amountain man came to him to enter a protest. He said, "My two girlscame down to your school to be educated, and then they went and gotmarried, just like they was ignorant." Without assenting to this view ofmatrimony, we can still sympathize with the general attitude expressed.The thing that impresses me about my college generation is that we haveacted, for the most part, "just like we was ignorant." Yet we cannot holdthe college responsible. We went there to go through the formalities, tobecome college men, "to get to know the fellows." As for the professors,we subscribed to that eloquent inscription penned by an English public-school boy: "To all schoolmasters, whose taste it is our privilege to follow; whose virtues it is our duty to imitate; whose presence it is our interest to avoid." In general Santayana's description of the pupil- teacher'srelationship wTas true of us; it was that of the cow and the milkmaid;mutual contributions may pass between them, but not conversation. Thestock of prejudices we brought with us to college remained largely unimpaired when we left it. If we had our corners knocked off, it was chieflybecause we were associated with a lot of bright young men who took peculiar pleasure in jumping on people for the slightest deviation from thenormal.One must, of course, concede the value of that type of training.Whether universities were founded to give it is another matter. Wedid not care to be jumped on, and so we never deviated from the normalafter we found out what it was. It was not normal then to depart fromtraditional apparel. Nor was it normal to be sentimental about the college, except in song, or to be friendly in conversation unless your remarkswere prefaced by enough insults to show that you were manly. We grew122 THE UNIVERSITY RECORDgradually into the likeness of each other, and a rather pleasant likenesswe thought it was, too. We talked well, though somewhat vaguely, onalmost any topic. Having received the imprimatur of college society, wehad the conviction that the society of the great world would welcome us.And so it did, on the whole. Whether it would have welcomed us any theless gladly if we had spent the same amount of time in the local countryclub or one of the fraternal orders, I do not know. These bodies havehigh ideals. They are organizations of men for mutual improvement.Four years in one might serve to knock the corners off. Their dues arelower than those of most colleges. You can get to know the fellows inone. It would seem plausible to suppose that one can get from them mostof the things one gets at the university, if one goes to the universitymerely because it is the thing to do.THE UNIVERSITY A COMMUNITY OF SCHOLARSLet it never be forgotten that a university is not a collection of buildings, nor a collection of books, nor even a collection of students. It is acommunity of scholars. The first duty of a university is to provide thosescholars with the means of life, which no university has yet adequatelydone, and with the means of work. If young men and women then wish toassociate themselves with the scholars they must do so on the scholars'terms. They must have an abiding interest in the things the scholarshave to offer them, together with the minimum intellectual equipmentnecessary to understand those things. The whole system of required attendance, course grades, credit hours, and all the painful rigidities of thecurriculum has grown up because the scholars, perhaps mistakenly, didnot believe the young men and women had these characteristics and, perhaps mistakenly, did not have the courage to shut them out. And thatsystem in turn has produced a vicious circle, defeating the aspiration anddulling the interest of competent and willing students, driving them forthinto extra-curriculum activities, or reducing them to the motions of aspiritless routine.Such a routine, either on the graduate or undergraduate level, isneither scholarship nor education. Scholarship in its broadest sense meansthe careful, painstaking attempt to answer the question put by BernardShaw as follows: whether the human animal as he exists at present iscapable of solving the problems raised by his own aggregation. And education means the development of the individual so that instead of addingto those problems, he may, in whatever walk of life, make his contribution to their solution. For the purpose of universities is not to providesome thousands of young people with a pleasant vacation from their fam-PRESIDENTS CONVOCATION ADDRESS 123flies and agreeable postponement of the business of earning a living. Tothe universities the nation looks for men and women who have trainedminds and know how to use them; men and women who know how tothink and are willing to do it. Through the fumbling futilities of American education we shall yet pass to something new, native, and vital, superior to the education of Europe, which now, perhaps through our ignorance of it, sometimes strikes envy into our hearts. And from the crasscommercialism, the narrow politics, the irreligion of contemporary affairs,we shall yet pass on as well, if we can muster the intelligence for the task.THE CHICAGO LYING-IN HOSPITAL AND DISPENSARYITS IDEALS AND PURPOSESBy JOSEPH B. DE LEE, A.M., M.D.A LTHOUGH obstetrics is the oldest of the medical arts, it is one of/% the youngest of its sciences. For thousands of years ignorance,-/. JIl. custom, and a general disappreciation of women combined tokeep this discipline of medicine on a low level, and it was not until earlyin the last century that it began to receive the attention it deserves.The function of childbearing was considered a natural one, similar tothe other functions of the female, and required no assistance at all, or atmost such as a sympathetic relative or neighbor could render; and thisprejudice has been transmitted to succeeding generations — existing to nota little extent even now, and among educated classes. This disesteem inwhich the practice of the art of midwifery was held (the very word "midwifery" carried a degree of opprobrium) kept the best men of the profession out of it; if indeed the onerous, and time- and health-consumingnature of the work did not.As a result the condition of childbearing women and newborn babeswas deplorable. Epidemics of infection ravaged them; the general mortality was high; the injuries which both suffered during what should bea natural process were extensive, and if not fatal, left wretched sufferingsbehind; and blindness of the newborn filled one-third of the wards of theasylums. The public seemed inured to all this misery, accepting it as theact of Providence. The colleges did not provide clinical facilities forteaching obstetrics, and the large majority of students received a diplomaand the right to practice without ever having seen a woman in confinement. The state permitted untrained, ignorant women to practice midwifery, but it must be said in their behalf that they were hardly moredangerous to their patients than the doctors.At the time the Chicago Lying-in Hospital and Dispensary wasfounded, the imperfect statistics at Washington showed that 20,000 women lost their lives during childbirth each year in the United States; thatover 100,000 babies died annually during their journey into this world.A record of the damage and wretchedness of course was unobtainable.What could be done about it? We did not hope for anything from124THE CHICAGO LYING-IN HOSPITAL 125legislation. Education was the solution— education of the students, thenurses, and the doctors; but just as necessary, in fact promising more immediate results, education of the public. If we could get the people torealize that obstetrics is high art, of equal dignity with surgery and medicine, the rest would follow quickly. Hospitals would be built to care forwomen in childbirth, and colleges would be required to provide the students and nurses with sufficient practical instruction to make them safeattendants at the confinement bed. The leaven of obstetric educationwould spread through the mass of the profession, and the standards ofteaching and practice would rise with the demand for better obstetrics.The world is convinced by deeds, not words. We wanted to provethat the mortality of childbearing could be lowered, that the deaths of thebabies could be reduced, that blindness could be prevented, and that agood part of the misery and invalidism following this natural functioncould be avoided.Our first dream of a large hospital with a big endowment shatteredagainst the apathy of the public, so we started a little dispensary on Maxwell Street near Hull-House. From here we took care of poor women during confinement at their own homes, and here we taught students andnurses the rudiments of the high art of obstetrics. We yearned for a largeinstitution where we could teach in grander fashion and where we couldinstitute researches into the dark fields of our particular science, but wefound the public is hard to move (even for its own good), and so werented a fine old house on Ashland Boulevard not far from the Presbyterian Hospital and turned it into a maternity. Small though it was, it hadthe highest ideals of obstetric practice, and it was not long before its influence was being felt throughout the community. Our institution setstandards for obstetric practice both in home and in hospital, it established advance ideas for obstetric teaching, and, of equal importance, itpreached the gospel of good obstetrics to the people. Prominent in thisparticular field was the Mothers' Aid Club, a group of less than a hundredwomen (now nearly seventeen hundred), who adopted as their slogan"Better Obstetrics" and did much to educate the public.Our students (6,050 of them) came from the medical schools of Chicago and from places scattered all over the United States. The nurses(2,650 in number) came from hundreds of hospitals; graduated physicians (about 1,000) came to freshen their knowledge of obstetrics andlearn modern methods, and through all of these channels the ideals andprinciples as lived in the Chicago Lying-in Hospital and Dispensary weredisseminated throughout the world. These seeds have grown into largetrees in nearly every city and town in the United States.126 THE UNIVERSITY RECORDNow what of the glorious new Lying-in Hospital on the Midway?Here all our dreams are to be realized; and, looking back, thirty-fiveyears is not such a long time to bring such a happy achievement. Herewe will see the science and art of obstetrics placed on the same dignifiedlevel with surgery and medicine. The childbearing woman is to be thecenter of all the thought and activities of a large staff of professors, doctors, students, nurses, and servants. There will be 143 beds for mothers,of which 51 will be in private rooms and 32 in two-bed wards, so that wewill be able to care for women in all walks of life.All of the great principles of the Chicago Lying-in Hospital — the maternity detached from the general hospital, the intensive asepsis, et at.,including the one of complete architectural and administrative isolationof infected cases, are to be carried out.The 5,000 women and 5,000 babies, or more, who will receive thedirect ministrations of the hospital annually will be but a tiny portion ofthe hundreds of thousands who will be directly served by the doctors andnurses who carry to them the methods of the Hospital and Dispensary,and these will be a still smaller part of those who will be benefited by theresults of the researches to be carried on in the wards and numerous laboratories of the new hospital.Conditions today are incomparably superior to what they were thirty-five years ago when our institution was founded, but much remains tobe done.BERNARD EDWARD SUNNYGYMNASIUMON April 15, 1929, with the donor of the funds which made thebuilding possible, Mr. Sunny, managing the significant mason's tool, the trowel, the cornerstone of the Bernard EdwardSunny Gymnasium intended for the use of students of the laboratoryschools of the School of Education was laid. Introduced by Acting President Woodward to the pupils who will use the building, Mr. Sunny madea brief address. The building, it is expected, will be ready for use at theopening of the Autumn Quarter. A view of the exterior front appearedin the University Record for July, 1928. The gymnasium, which takesthe place of a dilapidated, long-used building in which pupils recentlyhave not been permitted to dance lest its floors should sink and its wallsdrop, will be eagerly welcomed by the students and teachers alike. Thecost of the building will be approximately $400,000.The new gymnasium is being constructed on Jackman Field. Thisfield marks the eastern portion of the University grounds and has beenused for a number of years as a playground for the boys and girls of theUniversity Elementary and High Schools. The new building faces Kenwood Avenue, and is east of Henry Holmes Belfield Hall and the courtwhich lies between Belfield and Blaine Halls. Although the new gymnasium occupies a ground space 113 feet by 124 feet, there remains inJackman Field a sufficiently large play space to provide for soccer, baseball, and track for the boys, and volley-ball and hockey for the girls.Over the south entrance to the building is inscribed in early Gothicletters "Bernard Edward Sunny Gymnasium," a fitting tribute to theman whose interest in, and generous gift to, the University made possiblethis new building for the laboratory schools.Near the north entrance to the building is to be inscribed "Health-Play— Character." These words tell the purpose which those in authority feel this new opportunity will realize in ever increasing fulness.Health, it is hoped, will be the ultimate end-product of all the activitiesthat growing boys and girls will experience in the new building. Too frequently, physical education has come to mean merely athletics. Thetransition in physical education from formal calisthenics to free play andsports represents a change in pedagogic theories. Today the majority of127128 THE UNIVERSITY RECORDleaders in education feel that the pupil interests and joyous, yet well-directed, activities produce the same educational results as the formal, rigiduninteresting exercises of yesterday. However, the goal of pupil performance in sports and games does not always find the individual as wellpossessed of desirable health habits as he should be. Present-day practices in physical education are not fully satisfactory. The establishmentof health habits, it is felt, is the primary objective of the program whichis to be organized and put into practice in the new building. Play, if effectively directed, is an important means to the establishment of healthhabits. The new gymnasium will house the physical training activities ofboys and girls from the fourth grade through the high school. The primary children will continue to use the gymnasium equipped for them inBlaine Hall.On the ground floor of the new building are located the offices of theinstructors, the natatorium with a 30-foot by 60-foot pool, locker- andshower-rooms for elementary-school boys, high-school boys, elementary-school girls, high-school girls, faculty members, and School of Educationmen, and two large play rooms for the elementary school boys and girls.A subterranean tunnel connects the girls' locker rooms with the natatorium. The natatorium will be lighted by sky-lights, in addition towindows on three sides of the room. The sky-lights when opened willpermit the sun to shine on the water in the pool.On the first floor are two large playing-floors that can be convertedinto one for competitive school games, and two smaller rooms for classesin boxing, fencing, etc. The second floor has two rooms for posture correcting work, an office, and a dark room for photography in connectionwith this work. The two large playing spaces on the first floor are twostories high and account for the remainder of the area on the second floor.Provisions have already been approved by the -Board of Trustees toemploy a staff of well-trained physical educationalists to direct properlythe program which has been briefly sketched. The present teaching forcewill be doubled, and in addition there will be brought to the school awell-trained person to head the work.The present thoroughgoing physical examination of pupils will becontinued. With the new facilities it will be possible to do more to carryout the recommendation of school physicians concerning cases that needspecial attention. A specialist in posture has been added to the faculty.Other types of corrective work will be added as the program develops.Because of the added facilities which this gymnasium affords theSchool of Education, there is opportunity for the first time in the historyof the school to do scientific research work in the field of physical educa-BERNARD EDWARD SUNNY GYMNASIUM 129tion. Much needs to be done, and, no doubt, much will be accomplishedin discovering the true path to the educational goal of the "strong mind inthe strong body."The building was designed by Armstrong, Furst, & Tilton, and is ofEnglish Gothic architecture. Both exterior and interior are exquisitelydone. The gross structural and decorative designs make of this edifice amost attractive approach to the quadrangles from the east.THE BOBS ROBERTS MEMORIALHOSPITAL FOR CHILDRENTHE Bobs Roberts Memorial Hospital for Children is the gift ofColonel and Mrs. John Roberts to the University of Chicago andto the children of Chicago in memory of their son Bobs. Thegift of the hospital was made not only to care for sick children but alsoin the hope that knowledge concerning diseases of children might be increased and made generally available to the medical profession.The Bobs Roberts Memorial Hospital for Children will take its placeas an additional major unit in the University of Chicago Clinics, providing eighty beds for children, a large out-patient department, and teachingand research facilities for a new Department of Pediatrics shortly to beorganized. It will be operated as an integral part of the University Clinics, which have heretofore had no facilities for the care of children. Itsmain purpose will be for the medical care of children, since crippled children will be cared for in the Gertrude Dunn Hicks and the Nancy AdeleMcElwee Memorial units also shortly to be erected.The first floor of the hospital will be devoted to the out-patient department, which will communicate directly with the Max Epstein Clinic.The out-patient department will serve for the care of children who do notrequire hospitalization. The second, third, and fourth floors will be devoted to hospital facilities, provision being made for children of all agesfrom earliest infancy. On account of the prevalence of infectious disorders among children, each bed in the hospital will be either in a separateroom or in a separate cubicle in a pavilion.The entire fifth floor and part of the basement will be devoted to theoffices and laboratories of the Department of Pediatrics, their inclusionin the building having been made possible by the gift of $175,000 fromthe General Education Board for this purpose. The sixth floor will bedevoted to quarters for the resident staff.The gift of Colonel and Mrs. Roberts for the hospital was $1,000,-000.

The building has avolume of 800,000 cubic feet. The ground was broken for the building onJune 19, 1928, and the foundations are already completed. This hospital should be completed and in operation early next year. The buildingwill be of full limestone exterior, conforming to the design of the present medical buildings, and of fireproof construction. The architects areCoolidge & Hodgdon.THE CORNERSTONE CEREMONIESThe cornerstone of this new hospital which promises to be so helpfulto humanity and to science was laid with brief ceremonies on June 18,1929.Acting-president Woodward presided and introduced the speaker, Dr.Russell M. Wilder, the recently appointed professor of medicine of theUniversity, a portion of whose address follows:The splendid gift of Colonel and Mrs. Roberts makes possible this further steptoward the realization of the ambition of all of us to witness the development hereas a part of this great University of facilities adequate for the study of disease inall of its varied aspects.There never has been a time in the history of medicine when the prospects ofachievement were as bright as they are today. This is due, first, to the momentumgathered in the last few decades, important advances following each other withsteadily accelerating frequency ; second, to the quality of the young men and womenwho are being drawn as students to such centers of medical activity as this is;third, to the public interest in medical matters. This has been aroused as never before to the necessity of gaining as promptly as possible a greater mastery of health.I need only mention a few of the more notable achievements of recent times toemphasize the significance of the momentum referred to : the great advance made inthe prevention and treatment of the greater number of the infectious diseases ; thetremendous extension of the field of surgery and the very new exact knowledge of theproducts of certain glands of internal secretion, particularly of adrenalin, thyroxin,insulin, and parathormone. It has been evident that the rank and file of the recentgraduates in medicine are steadily improving and that an increasing proportion ofthese young men is no longer satisfied with the acquisition of existing knowledge andis interested in the exploration of the unknown. The increased interest of publicbenefactors, the country over, is apparent and is signalized for us today in the giftto the University which has made possible the laying of this cornerstone. Thesethree factors, momentum, the availability of gifted men in increasing numbers tocarry on the work of the future and the awakened interest of men of affairs in medical matters, are the basis of my optimism on the subject of coming medical progress.It is particularly significant, to my mind, that this hospital for children is to beso intimately a part of the University Clinics, that one roof will cover them both.The rapid growth of medical knowledge, particularly of the sciences underlying andshaping the practice of medicine, has made it increasingly more difficult for a single132 THE UNIVERSITY RECORDindividual to obtain a mastery of the many subjects involved, sufficient to practicegeneral medicine with a maximum of effectiveness. This has led inevitably to moreand more specialization until today many practitioners devote themselves to verynarrow fields, to the disorders of one group of organs or even to only one disease.Such specialization has certain advantages particularly in research. The high powerof the compound microscope reveals details obscured to broader vision. On theother hand, intensive specialization has disadvantages particularly when it comesto the practice of medicine. Dr. W. J. Mayo is accustomed to define the specialistas one who knows more and more about less and less. Disease is not an abstractionthat exists apart from the patient. The rule is for people to lose health not because ofone infirmity alone, but because of a variety of disturbances affecting simultaneouslyvarious groups of organs so interdependent that little good can be done unless thewhole complex receives simultaneous attention. This is one reason why the successfulcare of the sick while employing the sciences still remains so largely an art. Theusual error of the isolated specialist is to magnify one part of the picture out of allproportion, so that he overstresses those lesions which come in the focus of his microscopic vision and may completely overlook significant abnormalities that lie outside of his field of vision. The remedy for specialism is in co-ordinating the activitiesof the specialists so that they constantly work with one another. It can be accomplished best by grouping them in institutions. It is fortunate indeed that this greatmedical center has been planned with this idea in mind. Surgery, medicine, pediatrics, and the specialties are to be intimately associated here, not only with eachother, but also with the departments of anatomy, pathology, physiology and theother branches of biological science. The more intimate that association can bemade by the close co-operation of the various departments concerned, the greaterwill be the success of our undertaking.Colonel and Mrs. Roberts in creating this hospital have established a memorialwhich outliving all of us will continue for generations to bring health to many sickchildren and comfort to the parents of these children. The purpose of Colonel andMrs. Roberts in building this hospital is to further the understanding of disease sothat other parents may be spared the appalling anguish that especially attends theloss of children and which they have endured. I am confident that their purposewill be accomplished in a large measure, that the life of many a little boy or girl willbe preserved in consequence of their great thoughtfulness, and that many a fatherand mother will have cause for thankfulness in the existence of the Bobs RobertsMemorial Hospital for Children.Mr. John F. Moulds, secretary of the Board of Trusts, reportedthat the contents of the cornerstone box included the customary documents besides photographs of Colonel and Mrs. Roberts. Colonel Roberts declared the cornerstone properly laid; the conventional photographswere taken; prayer was offered and the benediction pronounced by Professor Theodore G. Soares of the Divinity School.JOHN HENRY: AN AMERICANEPISODETHE JOHN BILLINGS FISKE PRIZE POEMBy ALFRED V. FRANKENSTEINCommittee of Award: Robert Morss Lovett, acting head of the Department ofEnglish ; Jessica Nelson North, associate editor of Poetry ; and Robert Herrick, novelist and critic.For the historical background of this American episode see John HarringtonCox's Folksongs of the South. The material italicized in the poem comes from balladsources.IJack Bridges, Scotch-Irish farmer of an inch of dirt on the GreenbrierRiverSat outside his house smoking the last pipe of the day.It was cool, with the coolness of late evening.Mist from the rocky Greenbrier thickened the wide darkness.Jack Bridges spoke to the humming movement inside the house."Folks down to Clifton Forge say the new railroad's coming right byhere, Ma."It was the war, he supposed, the war five years concluded.Steel and corn had beaten cotton and mules. Now they were building ahighway of steel for the corn.Something like that. Maybe there was more to it. Men in cities a longway off had decided it.The trains would come down the Greenbrier and go up New RiverAnd beyond that he neither knew nor cared.As Jack Bridges went into his house he heard the hum of an old song:/ don't like no railroad mule,Railroad mule got a head like a fool,I don't like no railroad mule.I don't like no railroad boss,Railroad boss got a head like a hoss,I don't like no railroad boss.I don't like no railroad man,Railroad man he kill you if he can,I don't like no railroad man.133134 THE UNIVERSITY RECORD2On the banks of the rocky Greenbrier they built a tunnelSeven miles long, through solid rock.Tunnels are built of muscle, and to get muscle you need niggers.Not negroes. Not colored men. Just niggers.The niggers are there. Jim Langhorne brings his droveFrom Memphis, Charleston, Richmond, wherever niggers may be had.(His nieces will be famous one day.One will be a beauty, and one will go into Parliament.)There are Irishmen, too, who worked with Chinks on the Union Pacific.They can get along with niggers if the niggers keep their place.The steel drivers drill their holes, hammering the steel bits with a swiftmovement of arms and back.Then the fixers come, the charge is dropped in the holes, the fuse is laid,and one more inch is chewed from the rock beside the Greenbrier.Three years Jack Bridges hears the ring of steel on stone,Three years he hears the firing,Three years he listens to the laughter of kinkly heads, and their bawlingsongs.3Men in cities have thought out a wayTo drill these holes with steam.A steam drill has its advantages.A steam drill draws no pay.A steam drill never gets drunk.A steam drill never gets sick.Women never bother a steam drill.They bring a steam drill to this rocky gapAnd down the line goes a set of thoughts:"This means the end.This means good-bye, steel drivers,Good-bye, muscles, hammers, ringing steel,This is your fadeout."Then out stands John Henry, steel driver from Memphis,Six foot four in his stocking feet;John Henry stands out for the contest.Says,Before I let your steam drill beat me downI'll die with my hammer in my breast,Die with my hammer in my breast.JOHN HENRY: AN AMERICAN EPISODE 135The challenge is answered.At the captain's right stands the new machine.On his left the steel driver stands.John Henry fetches a laugh.The black arms of John Henry grasp the hammer.The black arms of John Henry smash down on the hard drill.He beat it down one inch and half,The steam drill going on nine,Steam drill going on nine.4A maudlin banjo legend says the last word of John HenryWas the name of his woman, Julie Ann.Julie Ann, who got his hammer, wrapped in gold,Souvenir of an age that was gone.They made many banjo legends about this fool John HenryWho thought his blood was better than steam,Who stood up for living bone against coal shovelsWho stood up and said the laughing hammerWas worth more than the brains of men in cities far away.John Henry, I like to think they buried you as the humble song records:Oh if I die a steel-driving manGo bury me under the ties,So I can hear old Number FourAs she goes rolling by.As she goes rolling by.I like to think that Number FourGives an extra loud snort as she passes over your bones.Not in eulogy, not in sadness, but in remembrance of a triumph.If I could find the particular crosstie they buried you underI would carve on it the words of a sing-song epitaph:There's many a man gets killed on the railroad,Railroad, railroad,There's many a man gets killed on the railroadAnd laid in his cold lonesome grave.DEAN OF WOMEN IN THEUNIVERSITY[The following statement has been prepared in response to questions as to whenand where the position of dean of women was first established and the differentiation of functions of the women who held the position of dean during the early yearsof the University.]THE selection and organization of the faculty of the Universityof Chicago forms an interesting chapter in its history. An important phase was the selection of women to assist in the administration. The action which was taken soon resulted in the establishment for the first time of the office of Dean of Women. On February 23,1892, Miss Julia E. Bulkley, superintendent of schools in Plainfield, NewJersey, was elected by the Trustees, associate professor and Academic(later Junior) College Dean. She went almost immediately to Zurich,Switzerland, to pursue a course of study for a degree. In 1895 she received the degree of Doctor of Philosophy and took up her residence atthe University. In the interim her name had appeared in the publishedlists of the faculty as Associate Professor of Pedagogy and Dean (ofwomen) in the academic colleges. She remained in this position until1899, when she became dean in the College for Teachers. The followingyear she retired.In his search for an experienced administrator who would give especial aid in organizing the life of the women students, President Harperrealized that the outstanding woman in the country was Mrs. Alice Freeman Palmer, formerly president of Wellesley College. President Harper'sefforts to secure her aid and to persuade her husband, Professor G. H.Palmer of Harvard College, to become head professor of philosophy, werenot successful; but Mrs. Palmer agreed to give her assistance for a partof each year. On July 25, 1892, she received her appointment and thereafter for three years her name was published as Professor of History andDean (of women) in the Graduate School and College, with a footnoteas follows: "Mrs. Palmer will reside at the University in all twelve weeksduring the year; she will, however, while absent retain an active share inthe administration." Mrs. Palmer held this position for three years.In the meantime, President Harper felt the need of having a woman136DEAN OF WOMEN IN THE UNIVERSITY 137permanently charged with the duty of directing the academic, domestic,and social life of the women students; and on August 31, 1892, the suggestion of Mrs. Palmer that Marion Talbot, who had been her colleaguein the early years of the Association of Collegiate Alumnae, be appointedto serve was adopted by the Trustees and Miss Talbot was made Assistant Professor of Sanitary Science and Dean (of women) in the University (i.e., senior) Colleges. Except during the comparatively short periodswhen Mrs. Palmer was in residence, Miss Talbot took the entire responsibility, including the registration of all women students. In 1895, she waspromoted to an associate professorship and became Dean (of women) inthe Graduate Schools. In 1899 she was appointed Dean of Women. Theannouncements for 1S97 and 1898 stated, "There are also two deans ofwomen, one for the Graduate Schools and one for the Colleges." Thiswas followed in 1899 with the statement, "There is also a Dean of Women."! Miss Talbot was promoted to a professorship in 1905 and held thisposition and the deanship until her retirement in 1925. In the History ofthe University of Chicago, by Dr. T. W. Goodspeed, the following statement is made: "Alice Freeman Palmer was made Dean of Women onJuly 25, 1892, and on August 31, Marion Talbot was associated with her,succeeding her after Mrs. Palmer's valuable but necessarily temporaryservice."DEATH OF GERALD BIRNEY SMITHTHE University community was startled by the sudden death onApril 3, 1929, of Dr. Gerald Birney Smith, Professor of Christian Theology in the Divinity School. He had driven to theSouth by motor-car accompanied by Mrs. Smith. While at Cincinnati, hewas attacked by ptomaine poisoning. Notwithstanding this attack hedrove toward home, but at Dayton, Ohio, he was taken to a hospital.Pleurisy added complications and then came pneumonia. The severity ofthe pleurisy affected the heart so powerfully that it was not able to overcome the strain, and early in the morning of April 3 the beloved teacherbreathed his last.Dr. Smith had been an honored member of the Divinity School faculty since 1900. So great was his personal charm, so congenial his disposition, so sanely liberal his views, that he was one of the best belovedmembers of the faculties, while his sure grasp of the subjects he so successfully taught won for him the approval of his students and the admiration of his colleagues.Dean Mathews, at the funeral services held in the Hyde Park Baptist Church building on April 5, paid a worthy tribute to the memory ofDr. Smith and in the course of this tribute traced his life and his workfrom his birth. In addition to the facts stated by Dean Mathews it maybe recorded that Dr. Smith was born in Middlefield, Massachusetts, May3, 1868. He received his A.B. degree from Brown University in 1891, anA.M. degree from Columbia in 1898, and his D.B. degree from UnionTheological Seminary the same year. During the next two years hestudied in Berlin, Marburg, and Paris. Brown University conferred onhim in 1909 the honorary degree of D.D. During 1891-92 he taughtLatin in Oberlin Academy. He was an instructor in mathematics andFrench at Worcester Academy from 1892 until 1895. After his returnfrom Europe in 1900 he was appointed instructor in systematic theologyat the Divinity School and subsequently, assistant professor, associateprofessor, and professor, his title being changed in 19 13 to professor ofChristian theology.Dr. Smith was not only a master of good English, which mastery heexemplified in the books which came from his busy study, but he had whatmay be called administrative literary ability, he could write well and admirably adjust his material to the demands of the work he was perform-138THE LATE GERALD BIRNEY SMITH1868-1929DEATH OF GERALD BIRNEY SMITH 139ing. This characteristic was especially true of his service as managingeditor first of the American Journal of Theology, from its first issue in1909 and subsequently of its successor, the American Journal of Religionfrom 192 1 until 1927. For several years he was the efficient literary editor of The Standard of Chicago, at the time the leading Baptist newspaper. He was the author of several books on theological subjects, and,with Dean Shailer Mathews, edited a dictionary of religion and ethics.He was secretary of the Men's Commission of Social Service and Religionat the University, chairman of the board of the University Settlement, adeacon and an active and useful member of the Hyde Park BaptistChurch. He married Inez Michener of What Cheer, Iowa, who surviveshim, together with a son, Cecil. The latter has just been appointed an instructor in music in the Divinity School in which his father was an honored member of its faculty.Dean Mathews' address at the funeral follows:Gerald Birney Smith came naturally by his interest in religious thought. Hisfamily was old New England stock ; his father was a man of exceptional characterand ability, who bequeathed to his son a philosophical and investigative, but sanelyconstructive temperament. After having been graduated from Brown University hetaught for a few years in Worcester Academy, and then went to Union TheologicalSeminary, where he was graduated with honor in 1898 and was awarded a travelingfellowship which enabled him to marry and spend the years of 1 899-1 900 in study inthe universities of Germany. On his return from Germany he was appointed instructor in theology in the Divinity School of the University of Chicago in 1900;was made assistant professor, and successively advanced to a full professorship.Thus for twenty-nine years he had been a teacher here in the Divinity School.During this long period he has been one of the leading influences in the religiousthought of America. In his earlier days, because of -his German associations he hadbeen deeply affected by the Ritschlian movement which then was at its most activestage. Unlike most American theologians of his day, he was not largely swayed bybiblical study, and throughout his life he was more interested in the Christian religion than in biblical theology. Even as a young man, however, he began to showindependence of thought, and developed a type of religious thinking which soughtto find its basis in religion itself rather than in the documents of inherited orthodoxy.His mind, however, was too realistic to become negative. Daring always to standon the frontier of knowledge, facing the unknown, he would be the last to say thata man was liberal because he had ceased to believe something. The Ritschlianphilosophy of value judgments held him at first, without any well-defined historicalmethod, to the characteristic elements of the Christian religion. These he did notfind in metaphysics, but in the worth of character, life, and work of Jesus as a factor in religious experience.It was not long, however, before he found the Ritschlian system, helpful as itwas, not entirely satisfactory, and he early undertook a criticism of current theological thinking and to search for a method that should make that religion a contribution to the evolving social order. He however refused to start from any a priori140 THE UNIVERSITY RECORDmetaphysical position, and undertook to find in the religious experience of the Christian movement the permanent elements, and also to justify their acceptance of suchbeliefs by men who were no longer thinking in the way of the fathers of orthodoxy.His first significant contribution to the theological reconstruction was in a seriesof Nathan William Taylor lectures delivered at Yale University in 191 2. The title ofthese lectures was itself a summary of his thought, "Social Idealism and the Changing Theology." When these lectures were published in 19 13 he had reached the conclusion that theological scholarship was in danger of becoming too exclusively intellectual, centering attention rather upon elements of the critical scholarship of theBible than upon the movements of life itself. In other words, he felt that thereneeded to be a reconstruction of the Christian religion as furnishing moral incentiveand control in any social reconstruction. In these lectures he developed that contrastbetween aristocratic and democratic ideals which may be said to have characterizedhis subsequent thinking. To him always any theology was useless which did nothelp the development of morality. Naturally this led to the discussion of the authority upon which any assurance in religion could be based. This he found not in theauthority of the Bible, but in a method which itself was justifiable in the light ofscientific procedure as worked out in the social and historical sciences.From this type of interest he never departed. Religion was to be defended bythe proper organization of the elements of religious experience, both individual andhistorical, but its chief significance would be in life itself. His subsequent writingswere for a number of years articles published in the Biblical World and in the American Journal of Theology, of which for thirteen years he was managing editor. Hewas also with me editor of a Dictionary of Religion and Ethics, for which he wrotemany of the more important articles in the field of religious and ethical as distinctfrom strictly metaphysical subjects. His interest in ethics found expression in awidely used volume entitled, Principles of Christian Living. It was largely due tohis influence that the faculty of the Divinity School published under his general editorship a volume setting forth the characteristic method adopted by the school,entitled An Introduction to the Study of the Christian Religion. Recently he editeda volume by various scholars sketching the developments of the last twenty-fiveyears of theological thought, and published another volume embodying his own mature criticism of current religious thinking.Important as these volumes were as an exposition of a type of religious investigation and reconstruction, his influence was equally strong as a teacher. His particular field of interest here was in the field of ethics and apologetics, and his courseswere taken by hundreds of men who either were or became teachers in theologicalseminaries and colleges.Such a sketch of an active intellectual life, unmarked by fear of independentthought and at the same time suspicious of any negative radicalism or theologicalromanticism, gives but an imperfect impression of his personality. It would not betrue to say that he developed a system of theology. He was rather suspicious of anyattempt to organize the truth on a priori principles or on some single philosophicalposition. He preferred to study intently fundamental religious problems like that ofthe meaning of the word God. Religion to him was a normal phase of life, and theprocess of rationalizing its tenets he came increasingly to see was always relative,shaped by creative cultural forces, and dependent upon the necessity of finding satisfaction for needs in actual life.DEATH OF GERALD BIRNEY SMITH 141During recent years he developed exceptional administrative ability which heself-sacrificingly put at the service of the many good causes to which he devotedhimself. Those of us who have been associated with him in the work of the DivinitySchool came to rely upon his judgment and his unfailing readiness to sense and tomeet new situations. As chairman of the Board of the University of Chicago Settlement for three years, he displayed exceptional ability in mastering the details andproblems which always confront such an institution. His interest in religious education has made him a leading figure in the Religious Education Association, and hebecame chairman of its editorial committee. His love of music led him to be chairman for several years of the University Orchestral Association.Along with all these tasks, which were assumed so freely and without anythought of honor or other advantage was a personality that was full of his deep religious faith, of the contagion of his own high ideals, and good cheer. There havebeen few men so thoroughly co-ordinated as he. He could raise issues to the heightsof ethical and religious value, and enjoy the healthy pleasures of life. He could playgolf or drive an automobile as well as write theological books. He could organize thehistory of his native town as readily as he could discuss the weakness of a theologicalposeur. Many minds as keen and critical as his have grown cynical as they havecome to realize how even the best plans go awry and how indifferent men are towhat one has come to regard as ultimate ideals. But both by temperament and selftraining, Gerald Birney Smith could not be cynical. There are few men better readin anti-religious literature than he, but his own religious faith, while it grew deeperand richer and less ready to make unconsidered generalizations, was always healthyand cheerful. He knew sorrow, but he was not sorrowful. He knew the difficultieswhich attend all rationalizing of religion, but he never lost that cheerful sanity thatenabled him to balance arguments and enjoy the larger probabilities of faith.No one came to know him without sharing in his hopefulness and courage, andwe shall never forget that saving sense of humor which protected him from takinghis duties too seriously or overestimating the liabilities of life. If he did not give tothe world a hard and fast theological system, he did give to hundreds and thousandsof people a point of view and a method of thought which enabled them to face theproblems of their own lives courageously and hopefully. He lectured and preachedwidely, and multiplied his points of contact with life. He gave himself without reserve to his friends and the causes he served, whether it was the organization ofmovements or the intimate association in some summer camp with younger men whohad been his students.This rich personality will not lose its influence. His vivacity of thought, hisdiscriminating optimism, his religious assurance, and his unstinting friendships willlive in many lives, to reproduce themselves in institutions and character. It is hardto see how any man can take his place, but it is equally impossible to feel that thegeneration he helped to face its own problems by its own methods can ever escapehis inspiring influence.Dean Charles W. Gilkey, for many years Dr. Smith's pastor, followedDean Mathews with a sincere, tender tribute to the life and character ofthe teacher, preacher, friend, whose ability to create and to cement friendships was recognized not only by the many who attended the funeralservices but by all with whom he came in contact the country over. Dean142 THE UNIVERSITY RECORDGilkey spoke of his colleague's charm of character, of his delightful loveof humor, of his contagious laughter, his keen love of sport. In the theological conflicts of his day his course was irenic. He had the power ofintellectual leadership, but he was democratic, winning, kindly. He possessed an elemental simplicity. His religion was exemplified in his life.The pall-bearers were members of the faculties of the Divinity Schooland of the Chicago Theological Seminary.DR. JAMES MADISON STIFLERANOTHER NEW TRUSTEEJAMES MADISON STIFLERTHE University constituency was interested in the announcementmade in the University Record for April, that three new Trustees had recently been chosen, two of whom are alumni of theUniversity. At the meeting of the Board held in June the Trustees regretfully accepted the resignation of Dr. Charles W. Gilkey, who is a memberof the Divinity School faculty and dean of the University Chapel. Awell-approved precedent makes it undesirable for members of the faculties to serve as Trustees. The Board, in accepting Mr. Gilkey's resignation, paid loyal tribute to the service he rendered as Trustee, especially tohis tireless work as a member of the committee on the presidency.As Mr. Gilkey's successor the Trustees elected Dr. James MadisonStifler, pastor of the First Baptist Church of Evanston, Illinois. Dr.Stifler was born at Alton, Illinois, February 10, 1875, at the time hisfather was an honored teacher of Shurtleff College. Dr. Stifler is a graduate of the University of Pennsylvania in the class of 1896 and later ofCrozer Theological Seminary, Chester, Pennsylvania. He has twice beenhonored by the bestowal of the honorary degree of D.D. He has made afine record in the two pastorates he has held, first at Roselle, New Jersey,where he remained for ten years, but particularly at Evanston, to whichchurch he came in June, 1909. He is conversant with educational mattersand especially as they are concerned with educational problems amongBaptists, having been member of the Board of Education of the NorthernBaptist Convention since 191 2. It was on this same board that Dr. Burton served so long and so effectively. Dr. Stifler has written several books,and he is well-nigh an authority on the religious life of Benjamin Franklin. He was camp director of religion during the World War at CampDodge, Iowa. He has carried his full share of civic duties and served onvarious commissions in Evanston, and at present is president of the Central Association of Evanston Charities. Mrs. Stifler is a graduate ofGoucher College; received her Master's degree at Bryn Mawr, and whenDr. Stifler was so fortunate as to secure her as his wife, she was assistantprofessor of chemistry at Vassar. She, too, has interest in and connectionwith educational affairs, having served as trustee of her alma mater andof the Baptist Missionary Training School, Chicago.143THE MIDWAY STUDIOS AND THEUNIVERSITYDURING the early years of Mr. Wallace Heckman's administration as business manager of the University he leased to Mr.Lorado Taft a vacant stable at the rear of the lot owned by theUniversity at the corner of Sixtieth Street and Ellis Avenue. About thattime, 1906, Mr. Taft was, as now, professorial lecturer on the history ofart at the University, a former head of the Department of Sculpture atthe Chicago Art Institute, and then and since a sculptor of national reputation. Cradled in this stable — it could never have been called even agarage — there grew from this lowly beginning a quite remarkable artisticenterprise. Not content simply to model his sculptural future in what tohim would have seemed to be selfish isolation, he invited other sculptorsone after another to occupy studios which he built to accommodate theirneeds. At that time — even at this day — there were available for sculptorsfew workshops in Chicago which afford good light, ample space, and lowrent. The enlarging facilities offered by the University and the presenceof the master sculptor brought together a notable group of artists, amongthem: Miss Nellie V. Walker, modeler of the monument of Keokuk, theIndian; of the much-admired group, "Her Son"; Mr. and Mrs. Fred Tor-rey, the former who produced the Hutchinson memorial tablet in Hutchinson Hall and the sculpture on the new Washington Park Armory, andthe latter responsible for the monument to children in Denver; LeonardCrunelle, whose modeling tool drew the Judson tablet, also in Mandelcorridor, besides statues to Governor Palmer in Springfield, and to Governor Oglesby in Lincoln Park, Chicago; Miss Hester Bremer, who provided the carved heads on Wieboldt Hall; Miss Agnes Fromen, skilfulin modeling small figures; and Mrs. Alice L. Siems, whose bronze bust ofProfessor Stieglitz is to adorn the lobby of George Herbert Jones Laboratory. Hither, too, came Otis F. Johnson, architect of the new musichall at Chautauqua, New York. These, not to mention a hundred or moreothers, have here worked and achieved. There have been occasionalpainters with their palettes and easels, and scores of young men and women who, at 6016 Ellis Avenue, have lived, studied, and then sailed on tosuccessful adventure on the troubled sea of the world of art. The youngman who is producing the sculpture for the great Washington Cathedral,144THE MIDWAY STUDIOS AND THE UNIVERSITY 145Carl C. Mose, was once a resident of the Midway Studios. Another, Way-lande Gregory, has just carried off all the honors for sculptural potteryat the Cleveland Museum of Fine Arts. The director of the new museumof art at Dayton, Ohio, Mr. Siegfried Weng, and Mrs. Beatrice von Keller, head of the art department of Randolph-Macon College, Lynchburg,Virginia, were not long ago members of the 6016 Ellis family.Mr. Taft never posed as a teacher of the many workers in the Midway Studios, but these must have been unimpressionable men and womenif they did not learn even if they were not formally taught. It is as thoughthe eager youths who thronged the high Florentine halls where Donatelloand Michael Angelo produced their immortal marbles had been reincarnated in this soon-to-vanish combination of workshops, art gallery,studios, homes, and community under the shadow of the University. Mr.Taft has made for the Art Institute a delightful reproduction in miniatureof one of these Florentine scenes with charming little figures in color representing the youthful sculptors of that prolific period we call the Renaissance. Possibly he drew his inspiration for these "peep shows" fromhis own environment.Here he wrote his History of American Sculpture, which passed intoa second edition. Here, too, have been wrought out the plans for a greatart museum which he hopes some day to see built, a museum which willnot only show the evolution of art but automatically teach as it shows.Some day, some Chicago millionaire will make himself immortal bybuilding and endowing this veritable university of the fine arts. In theMidway Studios Mr. Taft modeled his famous "Fountain of Time," thefountain of "The Great Lakes," "Lincoln, the Young Lawyer," the "Alma Mater" for the University of Illinois, the "Illinois Pioneer Family,"and scores of other monuments, fountains, statues, busts, too many tolist but too important to forget. The Studios, it might almost be said,have actually been an official school for the University. Its presidinggenius has been teacher and lecturer. Innumerable students have herebecome familiar with the history of art, and with the processes of sculpture. Members of the studios' group have been students of the University and have therein received their degrees.For a time it looked as if this unique and helpful annex to the University would have to be abandoned, just at the time, too, when its artistic production was at its highest point. After the University had for overtwenty years generously permitted the Midway Studios to be born, togrow, and to prosper, the plan, so long proposed, and so thoughtfully considered, by President Burton, to house the colleges — with residence halls,classrooms, laboratories, libraries, playfields— on the south side of the146 THE UNIVERSITY RECORDMidway, took definite shape. A munificent gift of Mr. Julius Rosenwaldhas enabled the University to proceed with the college project. Plans arenearing completion for the residence halls — the first, those for men, to bebuilt on the block on which the Midway Studios have so long stood. Theerection of the first of these college buildings will doubtless begin thisyear.Fortunately, the University was able to offer Mr. Taft and his associates land a block farther west, together with the use of a house whichstill stands at the corner of Ingleside Avenue and Sixtieth Street. Herethey will build a new group, a reborn Midway Studios, combining mostof the features of the present familiar group with its homely exterior andinterior interest, and, doubtless, with improvements which experience hasindicated.THE BOARD OF TRUSTEESBy JOHN F.

Stewart(1903-7), and A. P. Mathews (1907-16). In 19 16 a division into thepresent Department of Physiology and the Department of PhysiologicalChemistry and Pharmacology was accomplished. The latter joint department remained under the headship of A. P. Mathews until 19 18.THE FIELD OF PHYSIOLOGICAL CHEMISTRYThe interpretation of, and therefore the hope for, modes of controlof biological structural factors as well as the specific activities and general physiological processes associated therewith are today more than everbefore considered to be fundamentally physical and chemical in nature.The present advances and methods of investigation in the fields of pureand applied biology, whether medical, industrial, or agricultural, confirmthis statement. No one department of biochemistry can hope to emphasize more than a small part of so large a field. Such has been the policyof this department from the very beginning. Under the early directionof Professor A. P. Mathews, interest was centered on the more generaland fundamental physiological aspects of protoplasm. These activitiesresulted in his earlier studies on the action of inorganic salts; the natureof protoplasmic stimulation, of fertilization, and of artificial parthenogenesis. Later, through our closer association with medical studies as aresult of the affiliation with Rush Medical College, the department's interests included matters more closely allied to modern medicine. Thischange of interest no doubt in part led Mathews to his important contributions on the mechanisms involved in the oxidation of sugars. In 19 12161l62 THE UNIVERSITY RECORDShiro Tashiro (Ph.D. 1912) succeeded in demonstrating for the first timethat the passing of a nerve impulse is accompanied with chemical changesin the nerve and that carbon dioxide production is associated therewith.L. K. Riggs (Ph.D. 1918) and Howard M. Sheaff (Ph.D. 1919) confirmed these findings by other methods, the latter proving that the processis associated with oxygen consumption. The essential facts deduced fromthese studies have been reconfirmed many times in other laboratories.Other research activities in physiological chemistry which shouldbe referred to here are (a) Waldemar Koch's (1902-11) studies on thechemistry of nerve tissue with attempts at the application of these findings in studying the mode of action of drugs and inorganic salts on protoplasm and the possible significance of the methods for chemical studiesin psychiatry; (b) the two studies on the pancreatic hormone by E. L.Scott (in 1910 in co-operation with the Department of Physiology) andby Landes, Garrison, and Moorehead (19 18), which although not of immediate importance, later when repeated by others in other laboratorieswith slightly modified procedures, led to the preparation of insulin in asufficiently purified form for safe therapeutic purposes; (c) the fundamental work on yeast growth by R. J. Williams (Ph.D. 19 19), which ledto the rediscovery of the yeast growth stimulant, bios; this in turn madepossible many more fundamental studies on yeast growth, yeast metabolism and various vitamines; and (d) the researches by Martin E. Hankeand his students on the oxidation-reduction potentials in living systemsas well as their investigations on the types and distribution of chloridesin tissues. Other general projects which are being emphasized in the department are the development of micro-chemical methods of biologicalimportance, the attempts at purification and investigations on the modesof action of internal secretions, enzymes and vitamines, the relation ofsteroles to vitamin D, investigations on the organic precursors of hemoglobin, and the fractionation of the female and male sex hormones.THE FIELD OF PHARMACOLOGYPharmacology as such has not received the recognition it shouldhave in the University. It has never been properly staffed. Nevertheless,in spite of these continuous handicaps, as well as the frequent changes instaff, the research activities have resulted in real contributions to theknowledge of pharmacology. In addition to the work of A. P. Mathewsand Waldemar Koch (1 902-11) already referred to, the following shouldbe cited here: the researches of S. A. Matthews (1907-13) on Eck's fis-tulae and hypophysis; the investigations by F. C. Becht (1914-17) oncatalase and spinal fluid pressure; and A. L. Tatum's (1917-28) funda-AMONG THE DEPARTMENTS 163mental studies on the relation of alkali reserve to hyperglycemia, thedistribution of iodine in thyroid tissue, and lastly his physiological analysis of drug addiction and of acute and chronic cocaine poisoning. At thepresent time the work of H. B. van Dyke, referred to elsewhere in thisarticle, is also worthy of comment.CO-OPERATIVE PROJECTSThe department has always been interested in co-operative studieswith other departments. It has been fortunate in making several sucharrangements resulting in more rapid and more satisfactory progress ofthe problems undertaken. Among such activities should be mentioned:(a) several studies in plant physiology with the co-operative direction ofProfessor William Crocker or of Professor C. A. Shull in the Departmentof Botany; (b) researches with Professor A. B. Luckhardt, Dr. R. W.Keeton, and M. M. Weaver of the Department of Physiology, on thegastric and pancreatic secretagogues; (c) studies with Professor HarveyB. Lemon of the Department of Physics on the ultra-violet absorptionspectra of various steroles of provitamine D importance; (d) investigations on the male and female sex hormones in the fowl with the co-operative direction of Professor F. R. Lillie of the Whitman Laboratory; (e)studies on the male sex hormone in the mammal with Professor Carl R.Moore of the Department of Zoology; (/) H. B. van Dyke's investigations with Professor A. B. Hastings of the Department of Medicine onchloride and bromide distribution between cells and body fluids; and(g) H. B. van Dyke's studies with Dr. Percival Bailey of the Departmentof Surgery on the pituitary secretion in the spinal fluid.From time to time various industries have approached the department with specific problems. Only when the problems can be made ofsufficient academic importance have such co-operative studies been undertaken. At the present time the projects thus financed involve thequestions of vitamines in evaporated milk, the digestibility of evaporatedmilk, and the action and possible toxicity of irradiated steroles and otherfood constituents.THE FUTUREThe efficiency of the department was seriously hampered for manyyears; first, by the small housing facilities; second, by lack of funds forlaboratory expenses; and third, by inadequate staff. Fortunately, thefirst of these difficulties is now past history. The excellent modern laboratories given to the department in the new Physiology and PhysiologicalChemistry Building have been a great comfort and help in improving our164 THE UNIVERSITY RECORDinstruction and advancing our research activities. The appropriations forlaboratory supplies, equipment, animals, and various types of service are,however, by no means adequate according to best present-day laboratorystandards. Even though no expansions into new projects were undertaken, the department nevertheless needs additional men of professorial rankboth in physiological chemistry and in pharmacology. However, moreurgent still are additions to the salaries of the present investigators withsufficient support in the way of funds for equipment, supplies, animalquarters, and service. Three types of assistance should be added to relieve the present staff members from the numerous routine and time-consuming duties which materially hamper their efficiency as instructors andinvestigators. Each investigator of professorial rank should be supportedby a general laboratory helper, a trained technician, and one or morePh.D. research associates. These three types of assistance would at thepresent time call for an addition of $20,000 per annum to the departmental appropriation. If we expect to compete with other institutions ofhigh research activities, as well as hold our men, we must provide suchadditions.MCH<;«cpq<;u<hcHWHBRIEF RECORDS OF THE QUARTEROn March i, 1929, there went intooperation a plan for contributory grouplife insurance of members of the teachingstaff and of employees of the University.The plan has met with the approval ofmore than 75 per cent of the personseligible, and a large percentage of theentire staff of teachers and employeeshas accepted insurance under the newscheme; indeed, among employees ofthe Press 95 per cent is included. Allpersons entering the full-time service ofthe University are now required as acondition of their employment to participate in the arrangement provided fortheir benefit. The amount of insurancecarried by the University under this planis nearly $3,000,000, and it affords protection for approximately 1,300 persons.The maximum amount payable is $3,000.Insurance lapses when the insured leavesthe service of the University. The insurance is placed with the Prudential Insurance Company of America. Alreadythree persons insured under the provisions of the plan have died and the beneficiaries have received, respectively$3,000, $1,000, $1,600, these persons having been employed respectively twenty-eight years, fourteen years, and fifteenyears. The newly adopted plan supplements the original protection afforded tomembers of the faculties by the longstanding retiring-allowance plans heretofore existing. These latter will, ofcourse, continue without change.Mr. August Vollmer, whose appointment as professor of police administration in the Department of Political Science is noted in the quarterly statementof the secretary of the Board of Trustees,is over fifty years of age and has beenchief of police in Berkeley, California,since 1905. He is president of the boardof managers of the California State Bureau of Criminal Investigation and Identification. He is the leading Americanauthority on police administration, andhis services as a consultant in the reorganization of police departments havebeen widely employed. The University'ssocial science departments have become greatly interested in the problems of police administration, as bearing upon efficient municipal government; and theappointment of Mr. Vollmer will add tothe faculties a man remarkably qualifiedin this field.An oil portrait of Dr. George E. Hale,non-resident professor of astrophysics ofthe University, painted by S. SeymourThomas, was recently presented to theMount Wilson Observatory, California.Dr. Hale, who organized the Mount Wilson Observatory in 1904, has been named"the first citizen of Pasadena." He wasassociate professor of astrophysics of theUniversity from 1892 to 1897. He became professor in 1897. He was directorof Yerkes Observatory from 1895 to1905. Serving as director of the MountWilson Observatory from 1905 to 1923,he became honorary director in 1923.He is joint editor of the AstrophysicalJournal, published by the University ofChicago Press.There were 12,160 visitors at YerkesObservatory during the year ended June30, 1928. The observatory now has instorage some 50,000 astronomical photographs.Three members of the University faculties have recently been honored by European institutions: Professor PaulShorey, professor in the Department ofGreek since 1892 and head of the department from 1896 until 1927, has beenelected an associate member of the Belgian Royal Academy of Science and Letters. He has repeatedly been recognizedby learned societies and institutions forhis outstanding scholarship and his long-continued advocacy of cultural learning.He was an associate director of theAmerican School of Classical Studies inAthens. He was president of the American Philological Association. He is amember of the "Immortals," the American Academy of Arts and Letters. Heserved as Roosevelt exchange professorin Berlin in 1913. He has received honorary degrees from at least eleven uni-165i66 THE UNIVERSITY RECORDversities, including Johns Hopkins andHarvard. The king of Norway, by action of the storthing, has bestowed uponDr. Ludvig Hektoen, head since 1901 ofand professor since 1898 in the Department of Pathology, the order of SaintOlaf, for distinguished service in medical science. Dr. Hektoen was connected with Rush Medical College evenbefore the founding of the University.He has been the useful director of theJohn McCormick Institute for InfectiousDiseases since 1902. He has been repeatedly honored by different medicalassociations in the United States andEurope and has been the recipient ofhonorary degrees bestowed by the Universities of Wisconsin (his native state)and of Michigan and by the Royal Frederick University, of Oslo, Norway. Theking of Norway also recently conferredon Mr. J. C. M. Hanson, for seventeenyears associate director of UniversityLibraries and now a member of the staffof the Graduate Library School, the order of Saint Olaf with rank of knight andcommander for noteworthy service inlibrary science.The following were the Universitypreachers during the Spring Quarter:April 7, Charles R. Brown, D.D., LL.D.,Dean of Divinity School, Yale University; April 14 and 21, Rev. Harold B.Speight, D.D., King's Chapel, Boston,Massachusetts; April 28, Rev. CharlesW. Gilkey, D.D., Dean of the University of Chicago Chapel; May 5 and 12,Willard L. Sperry, D.D., Dean of theTheological School, Harvard University ;May 19 and 26, Rev. Hugh Black, D.D.,Professor of Practical Theology, UnionTheological Seminary, New York City;June 2, Rev. Chauncy J. Hawkins, D.D.,First Congregational Church, San Francisco; June 9, Rev. Charles W. Gilkey,D.D., Dean of the University of ChicagoChapel.Four members of the University ofChicago faculties have recently receivedSocial Science Research Council fellowships. They are Harold D. Lasswell andRodney L. Mott, assistant professors inpolitical science, Arthur W. Kornhauser,assistant professor of psychology, andHelen F. Hohman, of economics. MissCharlotte A. Gower, graduate student inanthropology, also has received a fellowship for work under the auspices of theInstitute for Juvenile Research. More than 5,000 different studentsentered the clinics of the University during a recent twelve-month period to receive service of one sort or another, forexamination or cure ; 345 students spentaltogether 2,466 days in the hospital.The Health Service of the University iseconomical, remarkably efficient (being,as it is, integrated into one of the finestresearch hospitals in the country), andgives parents a feeling of special security about the health of their sons anddaughters.In a recent bulletin sent to the alumni from the office of the President, Acting President Woodward referred to themisapprehension which exists in somequarters with reference to the rigidityof entrance requirements. He wrote:'"The fact is that while they [entrancerequirements] are high (what alumnuswould have them low?), they are nothigher than those of other first-rate endowed colleges. And there is no proposal to make them higher. Our present requirements are the result of experience and careful study. They arebased upon the sound assumption thatstudents who are practically certain tofail in their college work should not beadmitted. In some colleges and universities which admit anyone who is ahigh-school graduate, 25 or 30 per centof the Freshmen fail during the firstyear. This is a costly waste, which ourselective admission system almost entirely avoids. Our Freshmen failures havebeen reduced from 14 per cent to 4 percent. That the requirements are not unreasonably high is evidenced by the result of an experiment recently made.Thirty-nine applicants whose averagegrade in high school was below our requirements were admitted. At the endof the Freshman year, it was found thattwenty-three had been dismissed or hadleft while on probation, ten others wereon probation, and not one had made asatisfactory record."Solomon's stables, discovered in 1928by the Megiddo Expedition of the Oriental Institute of the University, soonare to be destroyed in the search forfurther evidence of lost civilizations. Beneath the level at which the stables ofthe biblical king were found under thefield directorship of P. L. O. Guy lie thevestiges of still earlier times. Accordingto Dr. Breasted, director of the Institute,BRIEF RECORDS OF THE QUARTER 167the stables have been carefully surveyedand everything of value to science hasbeen obtained. Solomon was not onlya great oriental sovereign, but likewise asuccessful merchant whose dealings extended into the kingdoms neighbor toPalestine. His marriage to the daughterof a pharaoh of Egypt gave him connections which enabled him to secure thefinest Egyptian horses. Among Solomon's customers were the Hittite kings,in whose territory the Oriental Instituteis now operating. Below the city of theearly Hebrew monarchy will be foundthe earlier city of the wealthy Canaanitekings, it is believed. The entire site ofMegiddo has been taken over by theEgyptian government and is open to excavations by the Institute, which hitherto has been limited to a small segmentof the area rented from native owners.Associate Professor Henri David ofthe Romance Department has beenelected president of the Chicago LiteraryClub for the year 1929-30. He has alsobeen re-elected a member of the boardof directors of the Alliance Franchise ofChicago for three years. Professor William A. Nitze was re-elected first vice-president. For six years Mr. David hasbeen in charge of the lectures in Frenchof this organization, some fifteen totwenty lectures a year.Work upon the Bernard A. EckhartLaboratory is proceeding rapidly. Thisbuilding is the fourth project in a seriesof eleven structures to be built by theUniversity this year. Made possiblethrough a contribution by Mr. Eckhart,Chicago manufacturer, the new laboratory will cost $604,000 and will greatlyaugment the University's facilities forteaching and research in physics, mathematics, and astronomy. The laboratorywill provide thirty-eight research roomsfor the Department of Physics, thirty-nine offices for students and facultymembers, nine classrooms, an assemblyroom seating 240 persons, and a libraryaccommodating ninety readers and 50,000volumes. The second, third, and fourthfloors will be devoted to the uses of theAstronomy and Mathematics departments. Other buildings under way arethe Bernard Edward Sunny Gymnasium,the Social Sciences Building, the PowerPlant and the Bobs Roberts Hospital.Buildings to be started during the yearinclude three hospitals — the Nancy Adele McElwee, Gertrude Dunn Hicks, andChicago Lying-in units; two quadrangles of student dormitories; and anew home for the Oriental Institute. Thetotal cost of this year's building projects will be over $9,000,000. The GeorgeHerbert Jones Laboratory for Chemistryis practically complete.Among the numerous additions to theDivinity faculty for the Summer Quarter which began June 17 and will closeAugust 30, are Daniel Evans, of HarvardUniversity; Richard H. Edwards, Cornell University ; W. H. Greaves, VictoriaCollege, Toronto ; James Moffatt, UnionTheological Seminary, New York; ArnoPoebel, University of Rostock; and Theodore H. Robinson, University College,Cardiff, Wales. The summer Law faculty has representatives from four otheruniversity law schools: John EdwardHallen, University of Texas; Victor Henry Kulp, University of Oklahoma;Douglas Blount Maggs, University ofSouthern California; and Philip Mechem, University of Kansas, son of thelate Professor Floyd Russell Mechem ofthe University of Chicago Law School.In the Graduate School of Medicine ofthe Ogden Graduate School of Sciencesummer courses are being given by Stanhope Bayne-Jones, University of Rochester; Reuben Gilbert Gustavson, University of Denver; Emery Roy Hay-hurst, Ohio State University; WilliamBarnard Sharp, University of Texas;and Abel Wolman, Johns Hopkins University.The sixth annual session of the Harris Foundation Institute of the University opened June 17 and continued untilJune 28. The Institute was devoted toproblems of population and migration,approached from various angles, including the biological aspects of differentelements in the population, the relationof food supply and natural resources topopulation limits, the consequences ofpopulation developments upon socialconditions, and the causes and effects ofimmigration. Many noted foreign authorities were among the lecturers at theInstitute, among them Professor Corra-do Gini, of the Royal Statistical Institute of Rome, and Professor ShiroshiNasu, of the University of Tokyo. Italyand Japan, of all the countries in theworld, probably have given most atten-i68 THE UNIVERSITY RECORDtion to population problems, and theirrepresentatives are regarded as theirforemost experts. The lectures will bepublished by the University of ChicagoPress in book form. Established at theUniversity through the generosity of theNorman Wait Harris heirs, the HarrisFoundation Institute in previous yearshas dealt with Western Europe, the FarEast, Mexico, the British Empire, andforeign investments.If others than University officialscollate and publish statistics which indicate supremacy of the University in certain fields of university service, thereappears to be no prohibitive reason formaintaining silence concerning the factsin this repository of University achievement. According to a study made byRobert L. Kelly, executive secretary ofthe Association of American Colleges,the University of Chicago leads all otheruniversities in the country in producinggreat teachers. Of 133 institutions namedas the source of best teachers, the University led with a total of 93, followedby Columbia with 70, Harvard with 44,and Johns Hopkins with 29. Executiveand administrative officers of collegesaffiliated with nineteen church boards ofeducation co-operated with the Association of American Colleges in the investigation, 187 colleges making reports. Thelargest number of great teachers was reported in the field of English and English literature, in which 68 instructorswere so designated. Mathematics rankednext, with 57 ; philosophy was third, andGreek fourth. Forty-five different subjects were given as fields in which teachers had achieved distinction. Chicagowas named more than any other institution as turning out the best teachers inthe departments of History, English, Social Sciences, Ancient Languages, Modern Languages, Mathematics, and certain sciences. Columbia was named firstin education, with Chicago second. JohnsHopkins, Illinois, and Wisconsin tied forfirst in chemistry. "Among the teachersunder consideration in these colleges itwas found that 142 had the doctor's degree," the report says. "As to the universities from which these degrees were secured, Chicago is named more than anyother one institution, followed veryclosely by Columbia, and after that, inorder, by Cornell, Harvard, Johns Hopkins, Yale, Iowa, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, and others, to the total of forty-onedifferent institutions." George Alan Works, Dean of theSchool of Library Science at the University, has been elected president of theConnecticut Agricultural College, andassumed office on July 1. Dean Worksserved at the University for two years,having organized and directed the Graduate Library School. His departure isdeeply regretted.Publication of the roll of Universityfellows for the academic year 1929-30revealed one of the largest lists of departmental and special fellowships inthe University's history. Awards ranging in value from $210 to $1,200 weregranted to 118 advanced students to aidthem in their graduate work in thirty-seven departments of the University.Most of the fellowship-winners are nowstudying in colleges and universitiesthroughout this country and Canada,eighty-three different institutions beingrepresented on the list by graduates.Cornelius Osgood, daring University ofChicago student who is at present livingwith the Hareskin Indians in Arctic Canada, has been given an anthropology fellowship pending his return. The newlyestablished Catherine Cleveland Fellowship in History is awarded to James LeaCate of the University of Texas.One hundred University public lectures are offered by the University during the Summer Quarter which beganJune 17. The lecturers represent a distinguished group of men, both regularand visiting members of the University,who make this contribution of time andexperience to the work of the SummerQuarter. Many of the lectures are ofprofessional as well as general interest.Among the sixty-eight lecturers will benumerous representatives of foreign universities, including Professor CorradoGini, Royal Statistical Institute ofRome, and Professor Shiroshi Nasu,Faculty of Agriculture, Tokyo ImperialUniversity, Japan, both of whom havelectured during the first term of theSummer Quarter under the auspices ofthe Harris Foundation on populationand migration. Barker Fairley, professor of German in University College,University of Toronto, lectured inJune on "The Personality of FriedrichNietzsche." Professors from other American universities are giving public lectures at Chicago during the SummerQuarter and include Charles J. Martin,associate professor fine arts, TeachersBRIEF RECORDS OF THE QUARTER 169College, Columbia University; EdwinD. Starbuck, director, Institute of Character Research, University of Iowa;John A. Scott, head of the departmentof classical languages, Northwestern University; Stanhope Bayne-Jones, professor of bacteriology, University of Rochester; Jane Snow Hinkley, associateprofessor of vocational education, University of Nebraska; Arthur L. Beeley,chairman of the department of sociologyand social technology, University ofUtah; and Leverett S. Lyon, professorof economics, Brookings GraduateSchool of Economics and Government,Washington, D.C.Three distinguished European scholars taught at the University during theSpring Quarter. They were ProfessorWerner Heisenberg, theoretical physicistof Leipsic University, Germany; Professor Paul Haensel, until this year lecturer in economics and dean of the faculties at the University of Moscow,Russia; and Professor C. Delisle Burns,of London, Stevenson Lecturer inCitizenship at Glasgow University, whotaught in the Department of Philosophy.According to Professor Arthur H. Comp-ton, Heisenberg's work in formulatingtheories has been more important in itseffect on metaphysical beliefs than thatof any physicist since Newton, not excluding Einstein. Professer Haenseltaught "Russian Economic Institutions"and "Contemporary European Finance."He was a member of the board of directors of the Imperial State Bank anda representative of the ministry of finance in czarist times and under theprovisional government following theRussian Revolution. Professor Burns offered two courses, one "Medieval Philosophy," the other "International Affairs."He is the English editor of the International Journal of Ethics, which is published by the University. He is describedby Professor T. V. Smith as "a liberalthinker, an animated and stimulatingteacher, and a voluminous writer onpolitical problems and social theory."Professor Werner Heisenberg has beenawarded the medal of the Research Corporation of New York, which is grantedannually for outstanding scientificachievements during the year.The University Record in the Aprilissue printed a picture of the new powerplant, accompanied by a description ofthe building now nearing completion at the site at Blackstone Avenue and Sixty-first Street. They represent a majorconstruction operation, both in size ofthe building and in its cost taken inconnection with the tunnels for conveying heat, light, and power to the University buildings. During May professorsand students were made dramaticallyaware of the magnitude of the undertaking when a "caterpillar" excavatorbegan to dig its way northward fromthe vicinity of Ida Noyes Hall throughthe west side of Dudley Field, thenwestward from Woodlawn Avenue, destroying trees, cutting through tenniscourts and lawns to Ellis Avenue, preparing for the 1,700-feet-long extensionof the huge tunnel which has its beginning at the new power plant. The tunnel, of the same size as when it leavesthe new power plant, 8 feet wide and 7feet high, will end for the present atEllis Avenue. At this point an extension will lead north to the Press Building where it connects with the system inuse for many years. The facilities ofthe new power plant and the new tunnel will have proceeded so far by October 1 that heat will be provided fromthat source, and the old heating plantwill be shut down. Electric light willbe provided from the present plant atFifty-eighth Street, through this newtunnel only until the older building canbe arranged for alternating current service, from the new source. The extensionwill provide heat for the new dormitoriesfor men and women to be erected southof the Midway, as well as for otherUniversity buildings.The committee of award in the tenthannual competition for the John BillingsFiske Prize in poetry was as follows:Professor Robert Morss Lovett, actinghead of the Department of English, waschairman of the committee; and theother members were Jessica NelsonNorth, associate editor of the magazinePoetry and author of The Long Leash,and Robert Herrick, novelist and critic.Official announcement of the judges' decision was made at the June Convocation, and the successful poem appears inthis number of the University Record.In this year's competition, which wasopen to all graduate and undergraduatestudents of the University, there weresome forty contestants — the largest number in the history of the competition.Among the winners of the prize havebeen Sterling North, joint author of The170 THE UNIVERSITY RECORDPedro Gorino; George Dillon, author ofBoy in the Wind; Bertha Ten EyckJames, who wrote Japanese Prints, andElizabeth Madox Roberts, author of TheTime of Man and My Heart and MyFlesh.Upon another page of the UniversityRecord appears a drawing prepared bythe architects, Perkins, Chatten & Hammond, Chicago, of the new laboratory ofthe Department of Botany. It will be atwo-story, fireproof stone building andwill be placed on Ingleside Avenue between Fifty-sixth and Fifty-seventhStreets at the north end of the Botanygreenhouses, with which it will have direct connection through a glass-inclosedpassageway. The new greenhouses arecompleted and occupied; these, with thepotting-shed and the laboratory, provideexcellent equipment for the departmentwhich has sadly needed additional facilities for service and research.Mr. Ulric H. Ellerhusen, of NewYork, recently received a gold medal atthe annual exhibition of Architecturaland Allied Arts awarded by the Architectural League, of New York, for thearchitectural sculpture which decoratesthe Chapel of the University.Five literary lectures having the fascination and mystery to be found in detective stories were given at the University, June 24 to 28, by Dr. SamuelA. Tannenbaum. Dr. Tannenbaum lectured on Shakespearian forgeries asFrederic Ives Carpenter Visiting Professor. Dr. Tannenbaum, who is a doctor of medicine in New York City, isconsidered the country's greatest authority on Shakesperian documents.An idea of the growth of the University may be obtained from the increasein the amount of the budget since 1904-5 — twenty-five years. In that year actual expenditures under budgetary provision were $1,200,367.26. For thecoming year, 1929-30, including the estimates for the Clinics, Medical School,and Oriental Institute, the total estimated expenditures under the budgetamount to $7,401,660. This estimate ofexpense includes the administrative andeducational work of the University, butdoes not embrace such activities as theoperation of the commons, dormitories,Publication Department, or special research. At its meeting held April 25, 1929,the Senate of the University adoptedresolutions reciting the admirable service performed by Acting President Woodward during the period between the resignation of President Mason and thecoming of President Hutchins. The resolutions contained the following tributeto him:Whereas, the resignation of President MaxMason, at a period when important development projects, involving matters of general University policy and complicated by budgetarydifficulties, were in process of adjustment andconsummation imposed upon Acting PresidentFrederic Woodward responsibilities of unusualdifficulty and of signal importance to the University, and, whereas in all of his relations with thefaculties Mr. Woodward has been patient andconsiderate, but decisive and effective; in hiscontacts with students, kindly, but stimulatingand inspiring; in interpreting the University tothe public, modest and dignified, but forcefuland untiring in advancing the interests of theUniversity;Be it resolved: (1) That the Senate expresses appreciation for the splendid servicewhich Acting President Woodward has renderedduring this trying period; (2) that a copy ofthese resolutions be entered upon the minutes ofthe Senate; (3) that a copy be sent to the Boardof Trustees of the University of Chicago; and(4) that a copy be sent to Acting PresidentFrederic Woodward.Northwestern University at its commencement held June 17, at which thecommencement address was given byMr. Woodward, conferred upon him thehonorary degree of LL.D. Mr. and Mrs.Woodward have sailed for Europe.Acting President Woodward presidedat the One Hundred Fifty-fifth Convocation of the University and conferreddegrees and certificates upon 836 persons. In the Colleges of Arts, Literature, and Science 412 students receivedthe Bachelor's degree; in the School ofCommerce and Administration, 46; inthe School of Social Service Administration, 7 ; and in the College of Education,32; a total of 497 in the colleges. InArts, Literature, and Science 78 studentsreceived the Master's degree; in Commerce and Administration, 3 ; and in Social Service Administration, 2 ; a total of83. The Divinity School had 4 candidates for the D.B. degree, 16 for theMaster's, and 5 for the Doctor's, a totalof 25. In the Law School there were 3candidates for the degree of Bachelor ofLaws (LL.B.), and 74 for that of Doctorof Law (J.D.), a total of 77. In theGraduate Library School 1 Master's degree was given, and in the Ogden Graduate School of Science 1 four-year certificate. Rush Medical College had 56BRIEF RECORDS OF THE QUARTER 171candidates for the degree of Doctor ofMedicine and 45 for the four-year certificate in medicine, a total of 101. Inthe Graduate School of Arts, Literature,and Science there were 51 candidatesfor the degree of Doctor of Philosophy,Five outstanding scholars on theUniversity faculty, Professors Clyde W.Votaw, George W. Myers, Herbert L.Willett, Charles J. Chamberlain, andAndrew C. McLaughlin, are retiring atthe close of the current academic year tobecome professors emeritus. The grouphas served the University for a total ofmore than 150 years. Professors Votawand Willett have served on the facultyof the Divinity School, Votaw as authority on the Literature and Interpretation of the New Testament, andWillett on Semitic Languages and Literatures. Dr. Willett came to the University in 1894, and has been Dean ofthe Disciples Divinity House, presidentof the Chicago Church Federation, andassociate editor of the Christian Century.Professor McLaughlin came to the University as a teacher of American historyfrom the University of Michigan in1906. He has been Director of the Bureau of Historical Research of the Carnegie Foundation, managing editor ofthe American Historical Review, and is aFellow of the Royal Historical Society ofEngland. After serving at the University of Illinois as professor of astronomyand applied mathematics and director ofthe observatory, Professor George W.Myers came to the University in 1901as Professor of the Teaching of Mathematics and Astronomy in the School ofEducation. Professor Charles J. Chamberlain joined the University's botanystaff in 1897 as specialist in Plant Morphology and Cytology. He is regarded asthe leading authority on the cycad family, most primitive plant group stillgrowing, and has ranged the world togather the finest collection of cycadsavailable.The School of Education has a faculty of regular and visiting professorsnumbering over seventy for the SummerQuarter, which opened June 17 and willclose August 30. Among the well-knownvisiting members of the Summer Faculty are Florence E. Baumberger, professor of education, Johns Hopkins University ; Harold Granville Blue, professorof secondary education, Colorado StateTeachers College; Thomas W.

Books on the most advancedmethods in identification of criminals,communication between headquartersand patrolmen, on ballistics, and preparing evidence for prosecution will be madeavailable to police authorities throughout the nation. Chief Vollmer, who willbecome the first "Professor of PoliceAdministration," will initiate his activities with a course in "General PoliceAdministration," to which Chicago police officials will be invited as studentsand lecturers. A committee of professorsfrom seven principal departments of theUniversity is being organized to contribute their special knowledge to Professor Vollmer's projects for research incriminal apprehension and control. Medical authorities will co-operate on bloodtests, chemists on such subjects as theidentification of poisons, and anthropologists on hair tests. An elaborate organization employing seventy-five full-timeworkers is already engaged under the direction of the University's Local Community Research Committee in studyingbasic problems related to police work.Analyses of transition districts, of boys'gangs, of juvenile delinquency, the hobo,of the parole and bail systems, and organized crime in Chicago have alreadybeen completed or are under way. Aplan to provide the public with regular"crime accountings" through the organization of a "Central Bureau of CriminalStatistics," in co-operation with the Chicago Crime Commission, is one of theprojects considered.172 THE UNIVERSITY RECORDThe inimitable William Lyon Phelpsin his department, "As I Like It," in theJuly Scribners' writes of PresidentHutchins: "The news of the election ofRobert Maynard Hutchins came as astunning surprise, because the new President is only thirty years of age. He has,however, already had a brilliant career;and I believe he will not only become agreat college President, but that he willbe one of the intellectual leaders ofAmerica. In addition to his main qualifications, brains, character, resolution,and energy, he has a physical advantage.He will be able to look down on bothindividuals and crowds, being six feetfour. A college dean once told me hethanked God he was six feet — he thoughtit gave him an advantage in dealing withstudents, faculty, and alumni. I may addthat Mrs. Hutchins will make an idealPresident's wife. She is a graduate of theYale School of Fine Arts, is a sculptor ofdistinction, and has extraordinary tactand social charm."Among the honorary degrees distributed this spring some have fallen uponoutstanding members of the University'sfaculties. In addition to the LL.D. conferred upon Acting President Woodwardby Northwestern University, Princetonconferred upon Professor James H.Breasted the degree of Doctor of Letters.The same degree was also bestowed uponSir William A. Craigie of the Department of English by the University ofMichigan. After seventeen years duringwhich it conferred no honorary degrees,at its late commencement the Universityof Illinois, his alma mater, conferredupon Lorado Taft, professorial lectureron art at the University of Chicago, thedegree of LL.D., and the University ofCincinnati honored Professor William E.Dodd, chairman of the Department of History, with the same significant rank.Dean Charles W. Gilkey received fromhis alma mater, Harvard University, thedegree of D.D. at the recent commencement.The University is accustomed to honor members of its faculties, especiallythose who have served long and whohave endeared themselves to their colleagues and their students, by placingmemorials in its halls. These may be oilportraits, or bronze or stone tablets, orbronze busts. Recently Mrs. Alice L.Siems, of the Midway Studios, has completed a bronze bust of Professor JuliusStieglitz, Chairman of the Departmentof Chemistry and a member of the faculty since the beginning of the University. The bust which already has beenexhibited at the Chicago Galleries will bepermanently placed in the lobby of theGeorge Herbert Jones Laboratory nownearing completion.
