55(!tap au��nUlu; . $. , . i) . 24Mary Joan SpiegelEditors Preface Frequently students and faculty at the Univer­sity of Chicago are asked and ask themselves:what is it that makes our University differentfrom all others? This question may be answeredin a number of ways. One answer might containsuch general descriptive phrases as: "the west­ernmost outpost of European culture", or "thegreat mid-western University". Or one answermight be more specific, pointing out our par­ticular programs of study. But every answerwould have one thing in common - a basicpermeating current of pride in the intellectuallife and progress of the University.The University is alive and ever-changing. Werepeatedly see examples of its greatness mani­fested in the progress it is making, affecting everystudent and faculty member individually, and thecommunity as a whole. Great events occur andhave occurred from day to day on our campus,and even greater ones will follow. Many ofthese events will become landmarks in the historyof the U ni versi ty.This yearbook attempts to highlight thoseevents which set apart this year from all others.The neighborhood re-development program, the$32,000,000 campaign, the changes in the cur­riculum and extracurriculum, are all includedin the succeeding pages. These developmentsare scrutinized and evaluated.The events included in this volume portrayUniversity life as it is today, and what may beexpected to follow from them in future years.The University has accomplished things of world­wide importance in the past. In its present posi­tion it is striving to "make the future as great"as that past. It is our firm opinion that it willdo so.MARY JOAN SPIEGEL,Editor-in-Chief.ID n make lqr nrtnrc1955-the Administration fondly points out­was the year of stabilization. The Universityfaced three major problems which were a legacyof the Hutchins administration, and overcamethem: 1) falling enrollment-s- "... changes inthe College Curriculum, only a year before, metwith so much opposition, were established, rou­tinized. Enrollment rose for the first time sincethe post-war veterans' influx." 2) un-balancedbudget- "... through able administration, theUniversity is operating in the black for the firstpeacetime year since 1938". 3) neighborhooddeterioration-" ... lobbying before PresidentEisenhower, and the Chicago City Council,Kimpton won approval of $6,000,000 for theS.E.C.C.'s Project-to raise, rebuild a vast sec­tion of Hyde Park, Kenwood".The University was, indeed, back on its finan­cial feet. But it was in no position to move for­ward. Other institutions were expanding their Chancellor Kimpton reportingto the Faculty Senate.horizons and venturing into new greatness, butmoney-s-much of it-s-was required were the Uni­versity of Chicago to maintain pace and not liveon its past history and reputation: in fact (if notin name) a second rate University.It was decided to campaign for $32,779,000-the largest sum ever attempted by a University,a sum, to be raised in three years, almost equal tothe total Rockefeller gifts over a period of 20years. 1956 became the year of the big gamble­the year of decision.The University gambled and won. I t was acapital funds drive, and the response was morethan generous. By March over half the three­year quota was met, and more than that amountwas raised for purposes outside the campaign.There was even talk around campus that in threeyears the campaign could underwrite the costs ofthe University of Chicago for a generation, if notthe rest of the century.The Year of DecisionThe Neighborhood Takes on a New LookPrime priority of the University's needs was arebuilt neighborhood. A rose cannot bloom inan onion patch, and a great University cannotprosper in a slum, which is what parts of HydePark were becoming. The first project was urbanrenewal.The University has allotted $4,200,000 forneighborhood planning. Three years of plan­ning, and public co-operation were required toget the forty-seven blighted acres in Hyde Parkready for slum clearance. Obsolescent commer­cial structures and buildings unfit for decent habi­tation will be replaced. Included in tentativeplans are suggestions for single-family homes, two­story row-houses, four-story maisonette apart­ments, twelve-story elevator apartments, and ashopping center. Provision is made for a major north-south thoroughfare, closing certain streets,offstreet parking, and park and recreation areas.Restoration of these forty-seven acres to resi­dential and commercial value will mean much tothe University: it will provide opportunties forhousing, and shopping facilities; and it will serveas an example of what can be done.Additional touches were added. On March 12,Chancellor Kimpton and Mayor Richard ].Daley announced that title to the Midway wasgiven to the University and streets transversingit were to be closed. For the first time in itshistory, the Chicago campus would be one con­tiguous unit. Plans for the area-not yet fullyapproved- would make the University of Chi­cago one of the nation's most beautiful urbancampuses.Meltzer and Levy looking over a tenement area in the neighborhood.Aerial view of campus showing Southeast Chicago Commission development, newdorms, the Law School, and highway.911.1Chancellor Kimpton and Mayor Daley at the kickoff of the re-development program.11I I ; 1JII I' if, '"II�'{j_ll Irql'I ,I I ; f 11,,I, III, iIA model of a bedroom in the girls' new dorms,A sketch of the dining room in the girls' dorms.A model of one of the new lounges.J 2 The UniversitvsNew LookThe University will spend $6,600,000 on stu­dent housing, which falls into three categories:Women's dorms: Present plans give the newunder-graduate dormitories for women first pri­ority.

Little was he pre­pared for the show of faith the Board of Trusteesmade to their University when they started thedevelopment campaign with a $4,000,000 con­tribution from their 51 members.Money was not the only contribution the trus­tees made. Not content to let things take theirnatural course, they pitched in and, led by Ed­ward Ryerson, worked on every stage of thedrive.Harold Swift, an active trustee for more thana generation, once remarked, "Swift & Companywas the place from which I got my pay and theUniversity of Chicago is the place where Iworked".

Streeter, Dean ofthe College.CollegeUndergraduate education at the University ofChicago should accomplish two ends. The Un­dergraduate Announcements state, "It shouldgive all students a common, critical understand­ing of the major fields of human knowledge andtheir interrelations". I t should also, "developintellectual powers and provide special knowledgeappropriate to the interests and plans of eachstudent". This double aim combines the theoriesof general and specialized education.Our form of general education was establishedby Robert Hutchins when he initiated his "NewPlan" in 1942. It now consists of three year se­quences in Humanities, Social Sciences, and Natural Sciences respectively; single courses inMathematics, English, and a foreign language;and two integration courses: Organizations,Methods, and Principles of Knowledge, and His­tory of Western Civilization. Not all studentstake all these courses, however. Those taken areare determined by placement tests, administeredto all entering students, and by individual degreerequirements.Specialized undergraduate education, in exist­ence for two years now, was introduced by thepresent administration under Chancellor Kimp­ton. It combines facilities of the College and di­VISIons. If a student specializes in Social Scien-A student and his advisor.preparing for class discussion. The Academic LifeA lecture given in the college.A lab section .. . . taking cornps.The College Todayces, Humanities Biological Sciences, or PhysicalSciences, the bachelor's degree is awarded by thedivision. If the field is the School of Business, theLaw School, or the Graduate Library School, thedegree is awarded by the College. In either caseof specialization the student fulfills his require­ments through a combination of the college gen­eral courses and the divisional courses. The num­ber of general education courses varies accordingto the division. For instance, in the science di­visions, students have fewer general courses be­cause these fields require a larger technical back­ground. In both cases divisional courses takencan generally be applied to the divisional Master'srequirements. If the student does not want tospecialize, he can enter the tutorial program and continue his general education with independentresearch under the guidance of a facul ty member.This tutorial program results in a B.A. in thecollege.This combination of general and specializededucation at Chicago is causing changes in thepreviously established forms of college organiza­tion. One serious problem being considered thisyear is the practicability of the testing and grad­ing system. Formerly students were involvedonly in college courses and therefore subjectedto only one time of stress and strain. This wasdue to the comprehensive examinations admin­istered at the end of the year, constituting thesole grade for the course. In the divisions, how­ever, tests with grades that are recorded come atJohn C. Netherton, Dean of students of the CollegeA college discussion section.Curriculumthe end of each quarter. Now with students tak­ing courses in both college and divisions simul­taneously, these two systems conflict for the stu­dent's attention. The tendency is to neglect thecomp-tested course because of the immediateurgency of the quarterly test with its permanentgrade.Also coming into consideration is the fact thatthe comp system seems to put a tremendous emo­tional strain on the student. Comp nerves aren'tnecessary. The problem is to find a way to makethe student realize that he must distribute hiswork over the year rather than allow all to waituntil May. Some learn from experience in theirfirst year. It is for those who do not seem to learnthat the administration is concerned.26 A trial step in answer to these problems wastaken last spring when the task of examinationwas removed from the sole control of the Exam­iner's Office and given to the departments. Theymay now test how and when they please. Thereis, working this year, a committee consideringfurther changes in the comp setup. One sugges­tion was that year-long courses be divided intothree separate quarterly courses having inde­pendent tests at the end of each quarter. A lessradical plan, suggested by Joseph Schwab, Wil­liam Rainey Harper professor of Natural Scien­ces, at an Undergraduate Assembly, is to havethree separate tests which will have recordedgrades but which will leave the courses coveringone year periods. These tests would be cumula­tive: the first covering in detail the work of thefirst quarter; the second, covering in detail sec­ond quarter and more generally first; the thirdand last covering all quarters generally and thelast specifically.An after class confab in Cobb.College registration.Dr. Lowell Coggeshall, Dean of the Biological Sciences.

They are no longer.

But the remarksthat received widest circulation were made by aphilosopher who has had little time for philosoph­icizing: Chancellor of the University, LawrenceA. Kimpton.He had some harsh words for certain socialscientists: "Too many individuals enter . . .research with a ready-made conclusion, and findfacts to fit that conclusion. Theory withoutfact is empty and empirical research withouttheory, blind," he warned, calling for a matureoutlook on social science.

The subject underinvestigation was the School's "Jury Project", anambitious attempt to find "ways of making the(jury) system more effective." Financed with$1,400,000 in Ford Foundation funds, it sentresearchers scurrying across the country in searchof information. 1,400 former jurors were inter­viewed, judges questioned, and the 112,000Peoria population was polled to ascertain theiropinions about jury procedures. Simulated jurytrials were held and the deliberations of six juries in a Wichita Federal District Court were tape­recorded.This final point brought the wrath of theInternal Security Sub-Committee, and its inves­tigation erupted in front-pages across the nation.Dean Edward H. Levi and Professor Harry Kal­vin, Jr. were questioned in such a line as to makethe unadvised recording appear part of a redplot to undermine American justice. Legislationto ban further jury-tapping was threatened, de­spite project-praise from many distinguished law­yers and judges, including the tacit approval ofthe Solicitor General and U.S. Supreme CourtJustices.The findings of the Jury Project have not yetbeen revealed. Regardless of their recommenda­tions, the Law School tackled a problem at itsroots and opened the way for a nation-wide greatdebate on one of the keystones of Anglo-Saxon law.37Royal S.

Ryerson officially installed,in an impressive Rockefeller Chapel ceremony,Jerald Carl Brauer, as the first Dean of the Fed­erated Theological Schools, he helped maintainan old Chicago tradition: youth. Harper becamePresident at 35, Hutchins at 30. At 34, crew-cutDean Brauer is the youngest theological school­head in America. He brings to his job a freshoutlook on American Protestantism, for Braueris one theologian who is remarkably unimpressedwith America's current religious revival. "Thetheological profession is becoming so respectablethat it is rapidly becoming uncomfortable," hesaid in his innaugural address. A few days later,Brauer announced a 16-point program to reno­vate and rejuvenate Protestant thought.F.T.S's educational requirements received agoing-over from the new Dean. He proposed extension of the present three-year D.B. programto include a fourth year, devoted to "interning"in a parish; recommended creation of joint-pro­fessorships, tying theological study to history,philosophy and the social sciences; urged organ­ization of a research-center to develop a newtheory of missions.Chicago's history shows that F.T.S. is the per­fect place for Dean Brauer's innovations. In atrue ecumenical spirit, Lutheran Brauer presidesover four separate, yet integrated institutions: theBaptist Theological Union's Divinity School, theCongregational Chicago Theological Seminary,the Disciples of Christ Divinity House and theUnitarian Meadville Theological School. Withthis foundation and fine federated faculty, Chi­cago now holds an unprecidented position tospeak to and for American Protestantism.4142 The Graduate Library School is the smallesof all the Divisions and Professional schools ofthe University, enrolling only a few more thanfifty students. Yet it has as its facilities one of thesix largest University Libraries in the UnitedStates with access to the Grant Collection ofEnglish Bibles (said to be the best in the country);the Epstein Collection of prints; the Oriental Col­lection of Near Eastern Languages, history andarcheology; the Harriet Moore modern poetrycollection and the William E. Barton assemblageof Lincolniana. Aside from these outstandingspecialized collections, the University of ChicagoLibrary is considered to be the best generalacademic library in the Chicago area. Thesefacilities are spread out thru the University build­ings, research libraries and the main library.William Rainey Harper.The library has maintained this record in re­cent years with a scant 2 percent of the Univer­sity budget spent on books, periodicals, and bind­ings-contrasted with U.C.L.A.'s 13 percent andthe nearly 6 percent Princeton and Yale bothspend. The Development campaign should givethe library not less than 110,000 dollars annuallyfor the next ten years-money which will givethe Graduate Library School an even greaterlaboratory for its students in order that thelibrary may maintain and improve its positionas a foremost storehouse of knowledge.Graduate LibrarySchoolLester E. Asheim, Associate Professor and Deanof the Graduate Library School.Social Service AdministrationThe School of Social Service Administration isnot one to make headlines. It goes quietly aboutits job of training competent social workers.Edith Abbot, now Professor and Dean Emeritus,with Sophonisha Breakinridge organized theSchool in 1920, for the purpose of making socialservice work a profession. Edith Abbot haslived to see "her" School become one of thelargest professional Schools in the world.The School's leadership in education in socialwork has long been recognized. Its merit isproved by the fact that 20 of its alumni are deansof other institutions and directors of social serv­ice agencies. It provides professional educationfor work with public and with private socialagencies and advanced work leading to the Ph.Ddegree as preparation for teaching and re­search; and carries on research related to the Helen Wright, Dean of Social Ser­vice Administration.practice of social work. In 1953 the School'snewest venture, the Social Work Research Cen­ter, was established with the help of a grant fromthe Field Foundation. This Center is an integralpart of the School. Although it has a staff de­voting full time to its research program, they workin close co-operation with the rest of the faculty,and the Center offers special training oppor­tunities to doctoral students.In January the School lost one of its most notedand best faculty members when Professor FrankFlynn died suddenly. Flynn, formerly a Profes­sor at Notre Dame, was one of the nation's leadingauthorities on juvenile deliquency.

A discussion class in the UniversityCollege.University CollegeThe idea in back of the University College ofthe University of Chicago was a strange one toAmerican education when President WilliamRainey Harper founded the College. It was un­heard of: offering college courses for adults.Like most of Harper's ideas, it was picked up byother institutions and today no self-respectingUniversity is without an extension school. In1955, the University College also did an unheardof thing: it extended its extension school. Adultcourses are now offered in Hyde Park and insuburban Skokie. The move, experimental, isan outgrowth of the Great Books Course whichtook Aquinas and Aristotle out of the class andinto the living-room. Now more and more de­tailed subjects are being brought to the studentsin what may become one of the major trends inAmerican Education.Home Study DepartmentA part of University College, the Home StudyDepartment is dedicated to serving educationalneeds of mature adults through correspondencestudy. It offers them opportunities for continu­ing systematic learning at the college levelthroughout their lives.This aim has guided Home Study since 1892,now under Director Leonard Stein. Harper feltthat a university had the responsibility to provideopportunities for learing to all interested-­both off campus and on. Consequently, cor­respondence study became an integral part ofthe new University and since then over 100,000adults have enrolled.The University College-located onSouth LaSalle Street.45The University of Chicago Press Building."Double enders" in the University Press which print bothsides of a sheet.46 UC PressFor years a university press--especially thisone, said University of Chicago students--hadlittle mass appeal and made its money by charg­ing exhorbitant rates for its text books.

":Student GovernmentThe Student Government managed, in a rathernegative fashion, to accomplish the one thing thatthrough all positive efforts they have been unableto do in the eight years that the SG has been oncampus: get the interest of the student body. Thiswas accomplished in the widely publicized andcriticized, so called, "illegal" Monday nightmeeting, held on Januray 23rd. SRP, called themeeting on a Monday night, because of the Mar­tha Schlamme concert being given by them onthe Tuesday night (regularly the night of themeeting) of that week. Having called the meetingthey proceeded, upon seeing that the ISL minor­ity was not coming, to pass many bills, and makechanges in the constitution. ISL, out of its24 members, managed to get only one to themeeting for the entire time. Two or three othersstraggled in and out during the three and a halfhour meeting. They said that their memberscould not be present on account of club meetings,and other engagements of long standing whichcould not be broken. The results of this meeting Janice Porter, President of Stu­dent Government.were: the meeting was considered to have nostatus, and all motions were reconsidered. DavidFarquar resigned from the chairmanship of SGwith the words, ". . . I'm just not a politic­ian . ." Most important the campus waspaying attention to the Government.Even though it was with feelings of disgust,this interest opened the possibility that with somehard work and good ideas, perhaps the SG couldbecome what it is supposed to be: a voice withsome power from the students. This would, ofcourse, entail the two political parties workingtogether. This they have realized since that meet­ing. Both now feel the necessity of working withthe other party to accomplish the goals that theyset in their platforms.This year was the first year since 1953 thatSRP has had the majority in the Government.Only now are they really settling down into theroutine of the job. They had two strikes againstthem when they began: inexperience and faction­alism within the party itself.47New students meet SG candidates dur­ing campaign.SRP members rejoice after victory.Bruce Larkin reads off election results inReynolds Club.E. & R.

All com­plained of the lack of student interest making ac­complishment of any goals almost impossible.As for changes within the Government, themain one was about the student handbook. Itgoes each summer to entering students and hasfor the past several years been in the hands of theGovernment. In April it was decided to give itback to the Administration. The reasoning be­hind the return of the handbook to the Adminis­tration, was primarily that the Government couldnot get enough advertising to support it.Disputes rocked the government both on thefloor and on campus: the "Monday night meet­ing" the row over the summer presidency, overthe Student Faculty Relations Court; the petitionto abolish SG in favor of another organizationalstructure; the constant fights over procedure.The disputes came and went, accomplishingreally very little. There were pros and cons forall sides of each argument, splitting the campusinto many segments of conflicting ideas aboutthe organization. There were all shades andgradations of thought- from complete disre­gard to fanatic disapproval or as the positionmight be, approval. Utter agreement to onequestion was found through all strata though­that something should be done about SG. Forthe most part no one thought too clearly aboutwhat, but everyone agreed that it should hesomething.Debate in the SG meeting between ISLers (top)SRPers (middle) and representatives of each partywhen the meeting was called into a Committee ofthe Whole."Point of Personal Privilege."Pete Langrock (ISL), leaps high into the air to make basket as Don Anderson (SRP) trys to block his shot at the ISL­SRP basketball game in Ida Noyes Hall.SA.CSocial Advisory Council.Chuck Mittman, Chairman of SAC One of the most recent developments oncampus is the newly formed Social Activ­ities Council. "There is finally a meetingground for the living groups and for stu­dents from the whole campus, which willaid communications," Charles Mittman,counil chairman com men ted.The council, composed of representa­tives from the living groups, and mem­bers from the campus at large, was formedlast March following the dissolution ofStudent Union, a group originally formedto promote social, recreational and cul­tural activities on campus.Duplication, and even competition insocial events, can be eliminated by coor­dination under SAC, its chairman hopes."If we see a void in the calendar, we willattempt to fill it by contacting variousgroups and asking them to have social afiairs."Mi ttman commented. This would be in ad­dition to assisting in gaining proper spacing offraternity open houses and other regular events.Wash Prom will be held under the direct spon­sorship of SAC, since Student Union had previ­ously sponsored the dance. "Wash Prom was puton last year by a handful of people, and that'sno way to put on a dance," Mittman noted.To make the board directly responsible to thecampus, the SAC constitution provides that, bypetition of 20 percent of the students, the constitu­tion goes to an all-campus referendum. By peti­tion of 10 per cent of the students, a new boardmay be elected before its term expires in March.These provisions, constitute a major change fromthe Student Union constitution, which providedfor self-regulation and only in direct campus re­sponsibility.In the handbill that has been distributed, SACnoted, "We would like to emphasize that SACis not an all encompassing organization. Its pur­pose is to regulate and encourage, not execute,social functions." In line with its puurpose ofregulation, the Council's main problem was thatof conflicts in the calendar. In an attempt tosolve this, SAC asked that the SG amendStudent Code to conform with the regulationonclosing of dates adopted by the council. Theregulation states in part: "... a student organiza­tion may request that the date for an all campussocial affair be closed to scheduling for other allcampus affairs. The Social Activities Council ...shall, when considering application from an­other organization for the same date or week endweigh the nature of the two events and if thesecond appears to conflict with the first in type,appeal, or potential patronage, refuse the schedul­ing of the second event. The ruling of the SocialActivities Council shall be binding on all studentorganizations and any infraction referred to "CORSO.Top: Decorations for the Prom-building a fountain IIIMandel corridor.Middle:. . a new face for the Commons ...Botton: Coleman Levin and Karen Adams setting up thelighting for the Prom.53Washington Promenade5455The Queen's Court.

Cap and GownCap and Gown's revival in 1953, after a ten yearlapse which began in the war years, came indi­rectly because of the resignation of Robert May­nard Hutchins as Chancellor of the University.The end of his twen ty years in this post in 1951brought an end to an era, and caused the publica­tion of Echo-Midtoay as a solemn tribute to the eraand the man. The success of this digest promp­ted 1953's vearbook revival.This Cap and Gown was warmly received de­spite difficulties aroused by the new appearanceof an "annual". Cap and Gown was once morere-echoed in the Quadrangles. The 1954 year­book progressed: lay-out improved, content wasbroadened and more graduates were photo­graphed. With all this behind it, the 1955 Capand Gown sold out, proving to be one of the mostcontroversial pieces of literature on campus lastyear.Left: Members of the "hungry five plus one" playedat various campus sites to publicize the sale of the1956 Cap and Gown: 1 to r: Brad Burnett, Jim Valentino,Nick Manaloff.

Likeall student organizations, Cap and Gown's growingpains seem bigger than its growth. Finances con­tinued to be a constant headache this year. While certainly there is still room for improve­ment as far as writing is concerned, much hasbeen accomplished in this area. The style ofwriting is more consistent throughout, and a moreaccurate account of University life is also evident.Although changes in photographic personnelhave been frequent this year, a consistentlyhigher quality photography on the whole, is evi­dent throughout the book.The 1956 Cap and Gown has had personnel prob­lems, style problems, money problems, qualityproblems, space problems, and public relationsproblems. But in spite of this milieu of problems,we feel that we have succeeded in portrayingUniversity life as it is today, and what may beexpected in the future.Part of the Cap and Gown staff and friends who posed for picture: Row 1: Ann Murphy, Ken Nordin, Wallace Reed, PeteLangrock.

The editormust receive a two-thirds vote; two candidateswere firmly assured of more than one-third.Unable to resolve their elections for one or theother candidate, the staffers settled upon thedevice of a co-editorship.Two seemed a magic number for the Maroon.When Maroon Editor-elect Al Janger was givenan Alumni-Deans medal in 1954 he was intro­duced as a leader of the Daily Maroon. But thepaper remained a weekly until Janger's dual suc­cessorship of 1955-56 brought the news out twicea week. The papers are smaller, but total about4 pages a week more than the year before. Twice-weekly publication has led to problems.By January the Maroon was being belabored byits third managing editor of the year. Tuesdaypapers, said a number of students, were "tooad-heavy". The co-editors complained of hav­ing too few ads to pay for their papers.Staff reorganization followed this drastic changein the Maroon way of life. "If a managing editorused to spend 40 hours a week on the Maroon,now he must spend 80. No one can do that,"complained Editor Burbach. "Now differenteditors split the week; but we've lost so manythat we all must do everything."A new logo appeared, consigning the towersilhouette to U ni versi ty archives.

Chicago Review"The magazine which demands that the camp­us writers do better than they thought theycould, realizes a distinctly serious achievement."As the Chicago Review began its tenth year ofpublication, its editors reaffirmed this statementfrom the foreword of the magazine's first issue asthe basis of their present policy.From its original 44 page effort in the fall of1946 through various changes such as appearancein newspaper form, the Review has grown to be,in its present size and format, a recognized "little"magazine with world-wide circulation and aquarterly distribution of 10,000 copies.Throughout this period the Review has pub­lished the current work of well-known writerssuch as Conrad Aiken, e.e. cummings, Mark VanDoren, Russell Kirk and Elder Olson, along withthe writings of talented newcomers.It is this policy, the present editors have said,which "has kept the Chicago Review alive andgained it a position of note in a field where scoresof magazines have failed and are failing eachyear. They pointed out that since acquiringa more professional appearance and a larger cir­culation, the Review has been listed in majorperiodical guides, writer's market, and surveysof "little" magazines.65The ArtsFestival of the Arts Committeescheduling order of events forfestival week at meeting in IdaNoyes Hall.The Festival of the ArtsThe Second Annual Festival of the Arts underthe committee headed by John P. Nethertonand Penelope Rich was held on campus the lastweekend in April.The highlights of the Festival included theStudent Art Exhibit in Ida Noyes. This exhibitconsisted of watercolors, oils, prints, sculpture,and drawings from students in the University.I t was begun by a reception for the wives of thetrustees at which the judging of the art was held.There were performances also of dance groups atthe reception on Wednesday afternoon."Suzanna and the Barber," a ballet play withRuth Page, held in Mandel Hall, was limited bythe size of the stage, but was well done and cre­ated for the audience a "fairy-tale-like atmos­phere" The music was adapted from Rossini's"Barber of Seville".Mozart's "Requiem and Vesperae Solemnes",presented by the University Choir and membersof the Chicago Symphonv, was held on Sundayafternoon in Rockefeller Chapel.66 Strindberg's "Ghose Sonata" was performedby University Theatre, in the Reynolds ClubTheatre.The Festival of Nations at International Housewas held Sunday and included exhibits in theafternoon of different expressions of art frommany countries.Topping off FOTA was the Beaux Arts Ballon Saturday night. Approximately 200 stu­dents and faculty, none able to enter unless cos­tumed, danced to two bands-one in the Com­mons and the other in the Reynolds Club NorthLounge. The Commons, Reynolds Club, C-Shop,and Mandel Hall were all open during the even­ing and an open house was held across the streetat the Psi U House for those who wanted to takea rest from dancing.

UT, whichhas been an active campus force since 1895, hasalways operated under the policy of producingonly the best of classic, modern and originaldrama. Membership is open to all and eachproduction is cast by open tryouts. There aremany openings for all phases of theatre work, asthere is a need for technicians, artists, dancers,musicians, directors, and so forth, in addition tomany actors. The theatre is under the directionof Marvin Phillips.During the fall, the theatre's first productionwas two one-act plays for touring, Box and Coxby John M. Norton, and Fumed Oak by NoelCoward. The plays were directed by WilliamZavis, with cast of students including: in "Box andCox", Carol Horning, John Meyer, and BarrySherman; and in "Fumed Oak", Hall Taylor,Natalie Crohn, Paula Sansome, and Laurie Rich­ardson. The plays were short, lively comedieswith small casts and few props. Instead of de­tailed, realistic scenery the sets were originated72 Actors in University Theatre onstage during performance.Director Marv Phillips recruits new stu­dents for UT at Activities night.in simplicity and imagination. The first majorproduction of the season was Arthur Miller'sThe Crucible. Written in 1950, it is a social trag­edydealingwith the Salem witchcrafttrialsof1693.With a cast of 21 and production crew of 10, theplay was produced in Mandel on November 17,19 and 20. The cast was headed by Steve Brown,Neva Fowler, Linda Libera, George Crawford,and Robert Emmitt. The production was ..."powerful and dramatic, in spite of an occasionalstiffness in ... presentation" and" ... capablyproduced" .The last performance in the first quarter wasDylan Thomas' "Return Journey" staged withLeland Smith's opera "Santa Claus" on Decem­ber 9 and 10. The casting included Gary Harrisas narrator, and Steve Brown, Joan Bias, RalphEstes, Alex Hassilev, Win de Regt, Laurie Rich­ardson, Jerry Siegel and Larry Zerkel as theseven towns-people in the story of a man'sreturn to his home town in "search of his youth".The theatre's presentation of "Tonight at8 :30", was quite successful on the whole "al­though somewhat limited not so much by theTop: Bob Emmitt applies make-up before performance.Middle: Rehearsal on stage, Marv Phillips giving sugges­tions.Bottom: Readings from script are necessary for part try­outs.H Bob Emmitt, as Danforth, the deputy governor, and NancySammons, as Betty Parvis, in the trial scene from TheCrucible.acting ability of the cast as by the difficultiesinherent in the type of performance they werecalled upon to give."

Don McClintock assumed fullresponsibility for forensics. This was the note ofa big change in the Forum this year.As Debate Director and assistant to Phillipsduring the preceding year, McClintock reviveddebate at UC after a two-year period of inac­tivrty. A UC team entered into collegiate de­bating and won honors at debate tournaments atPurdue and DePauw Universities. Chicago styledebating in the Reynolds club, on Thursdayafternoons, was instituted by the Student Forum.On hearing of his appointment as Director ofForensics, McClintock said that he would es­tablish intramural debating at the University."We will try", he explained, "to establish a de­bate union similar to those in England."Intercollegiate debating tournaments were heldwith Purdue, Notre Dame, Ohio State, Pitts­burgh, Northwestern, Minnesota, and the Uni­versity of Rochester.

The major projectswere coverage of the SG and NSA elections, andthe 24-hour Marathon benefitting World Uni­versity Service.

Rosalie Wax, Homer Goldberg, andErnest Sirluck were some of the thirty-five facultyand students participating. One of the high­lights of the show, which depicted the present andfu ture- hopeful status of the U ni versi ty of Chicago,was the appearance of Chancellor Kimpton ona bulldozer.

The so­ciety's concerts included the Chicago premiereof a concerto by Webern, contemporary German,and three songs by Stravinsky.The UC Band, under the professional directionof Louis Lawson is composed of 45 members,mainly students; requirement for membership is"reasonable skill on a band instrument". Reor­ganized this year to provide (so they thought)music mainly for the enjoyment of the members,it has been also well accepted by audiences.

Members include students,faculty members and residents in the community(mostly former students).Five concerts of single works of sacred musicgiven this year, included the "St. John" and the"St. Matthew" Passions by Bach, and Handel's"Messiah" .The most important development this yearwas the initiation of a weekly fifteen minute pro­gram of religious choral music on WBBM. Theprogram, the "Sacred Note", has as its basicmusical organization the choir. Each programcentered on a particular religious idea, withchoral music characteristic of each of the majorfaiths.82 Glee ClubThe main problem in the Glee Club this yearwas attendance. The first rehearsal brought outabout 80 men and women. But by the last re­hearsal of the first quarter only 15 or 20 of that80 were present. At this point, the director,Denis Cowan, decided that something was defi­nitely wrong. So the Glee Club was broken upand since the interest of the boys was more avid,a male glee club group was formed. It has beenthought that if the interest of the girls is found bynext fall, then a girls' glee club will also appear.In the meantime several other groups have beenformed--the Madrigal Group and the ApolloClub.Mr. Dennis Cowan, director of the Uni­versity Men's Glee Club.Richard Vickstrom directs the UniversityChoir in their weekly practice session Inthe loft at Rockefeller Chapel.Mr. Richard Vickstrom, director of theUniversity Choir.The newly formed Men's Glee Club re­hearsing in Roswenwald 2.83Interest GroupsStudent organizations display booths in Ida Noyes Hall atannual activities night to acquaint new students with thevarious organizations on campus.84,.-,"'I )Student Advisory BoardThe Student Advisory Board, working withthe Admissions Office is a link in a chain of con­tacts with prospective students in different townsall over the country.

Often in the past, certaindenominational groups have been composed en­tirely of younger or older students, so that otherscould find in them little to satisfy their ownspiritual needs.Charles W Gilkey Foundation: Baptist. Alongwith the Baptist Student Fellowship, now princi­pally composed of students in the College, a newBaptist Graduate Student Center at 4901 EllisAvenue has been established to provide a moremeaningful program for graduate students. Bothgroups hold Sunday suppers and discussions.Porter Foundation: Congregational-Christian,Evangelical and Reformed, Presbyterian. Porteris the most subdivided of the Protestant religiousgroups, maintaining five programs: for Collegestudents, for graduate students, for Presbyteriantheologs, and two couples clubs.

A class with anenrollment close to forty held a training sessionon North Field from October 7 to November 12.As there has not been any serious participationin football on the campus for eight years, thegreatest problems which faced Coach Andersonwere the poor physical condition of the playersand their lack of experience. The training pro­gram emphasized the fundamentals of the gameand the development of a team.The season ended on an optimistic note as theteam showed favorably in inter-squad scrim­mage and in an informal game with North ParkCollege. It will take a few years longer, however,until Chicago can send a team on to Stagg Fieldfor a regular intercollegiate game. But insteadof Big Ten competition, opponents would consistof smaller Midwest schools such as Beloit andCarleton. Chancellor Kimpton has gone as faras suggesting a "Midwest Ivy League" whichwould include Northwestern who has had severalmiserable "Big Ten" football seasons in the lastfew years.In May, 1955, a faculty committee, urged bya large number of the students, voted to re-installintercollegiate football on a "non-conference,'free-lance' basis". Although this motion wasdefeated by the Faculty Senate in January, afeeling exists on campus that within a few yearsintercollegiate competition will return. As fornext fall, the athletic department has tentativeplans for the continuation of the football classes.Practice sessions of the newly formed football team coachedby Kyle Anderson on the baseball field near the fieldhouse.

Theinterdorm play was conducted in a fall tourna­ment which was not too successful on account ofbad weather. As always Green turned out themost players, but they did not win the tourna­ment; for tho Kelly only had three members par­ticipating, they won all their matches and tookthe most points. Foster came in last in the tourn­ament. As yet the spring varsity has not pro­gressed too far but the team has been chosen andinvitations to various schools have been sent outand received. The team is composed of BetsyKirtley, Barbara Stech, Mary Ann Platt, Deb­bie Mines, and Frances Moore.BowlingThe bowling team is very loosely set up as faras team organization is concerned. Sponsor,Miss Nell Eastbourne, and this year's manager,Kay Potter, are required to see that if a tourna­ment is forthcoming girls are chosen to play.Ordinarily approximately ten girls who score thehighest averages out of two rounds are chosen.This year the "team" has participated in fourintercollegiate telegraphic meets. For thesemeets ten girls were needed-the most steadilyqualifying girls on the Chicago team were MaryAnn Platt and Manager Kay Potter, who al­most always came out with an average of 160.The team, among approximately thirty-eightother schools in the meets, never did too well,finishing usually last or next to last.BadmintonThe highlight of the badminton season wasa round-robin tournament among the dorms inthe C-group. Points were scored in two ways��first, according to the number of girls who turnedout from each dorm and secondly, on the basis ofthe number of matches won by each person play­ing. Under this set-up the dorms were rated->­Green, 10, Foster, 5, and Kelly 3.

The cups are awarded on the basisof the number of men from each fraternity sing­ing and for the quality of that singing, respec­tively. The Sing, held last year on June 4th inHutchinson Court, though it seemed to be off toa showery start, was, as always, well done. Thefraternity that went away with the quantity cup : v-., ":� ... ,,:was Phi Gamma Delta, arnvmg 98 strong, butquantity is not, in all eyes, the just mark ofquality, and the cup went to Beta Theta Pi.Also awarded at the Sing are the scholarshiptrophy (this year to Alpha Delta Phi) for thehighest grade average during the year and theIntramural Athletic Cup (given to Psi Upsilon)for points amassed in various sports throughoutthe year.

"Anybody whocomes to the University of Chicago expecting tofind a fraternity where the chapter comes firstand University responsibility second will be sadlydisappointed," said George Stone, ex-presidentof the council.The Interfraternity Council is composed of arepresentative from each of the ten campusfraternities. The Council acts primarily as aco-ordinating and deliberating body in discussingprojects and problems which concern all the fra­ternities, and enforces a code of ethics and properconduct for these organizations. The Council128 also acts as liaison between the individual fra­ternities and other campus organizations and theadministration of the University.The fraternities on campus participate in ac­tivities ranging from aiding the University's can­cer fund to helping University Theatre in givingChristmas parties for underprivileged childrenat the University Settlement house. The bigactivities of the year are the I-F ball, Thanksgiv­ing eve, and the I-F Sing in June. In order tostrengthen the bonds of friendship among fra­ternities, the Interfraternity Council sponsors andregulates various fraternity open houses, privateparties, joint parties, exchange dinners and anannual dinner with the Chancellor of the Uni­versity.FraternitiesThe I-FC also sponsors various competitiveevents throughout the year in order to stimulatea friendly rivalry among the fraternities and pro­mote association among the members of the dif­ferent houses. These events range from intra­mural sports to general scholarship.The I-FC does not believe that it exists solelyfor service to its fraternity member; it feels it has,like any responsible organization, an obligationto the University Community. In the recentpast it has thrown physical and financial supportbehind worthy nonfraternity functions. Indi- vidual houses, too, have sponsored affairs forvarious charities. And during the past few years,foreign students have been given free room andboard by the Council through the fraternities.The council plans yearly rushing activities­one week in late October for divisional studentsand two weeks in the winter quarter for under­graduates. Any man who will be 17 before theend of the winter quarter is eligible.

This tea officially opened one of themost successful Fall rush periods in many years.This is borne out by the fact that seventy-five girlspledged the five clubs. With Brina Jaffee aspresident, the Council organized many successfulInterclub affairs, including the Preferential Din­ner Dance, which marked the end of the Fallrush, and the Interclub Ball, held in January.140 The Council also joined with other organizationsin sponsoring and assisting at such events as theWassail Party (formerly annually sponsored bythe Student Union) and the Goldiggers' Ball.One thing the council felt very proud of: JeanineJohnson who presided over the Wash Prom asMiss University of Chicago, was the Council'scandidate in the contest. Brina Jaffee said thatthe year had been an especially good one forInterclub Council through the unusually har­monious relationships among the clubs.Interclub BallThe annual Interclub Ball, jointly sponsoredby the five women's clubs (Delta Sigma, Esoteric,Mortarboard, Quadranglers, and Sigma) washeld on the 21 st of January in the Skyroom of theHotel Sherry. Each club sponsored a candidatefor the title of Interclub King, and these candi­dates (Delta Sigma: Edward Zolpe; Esoteric:Robert Dalton; Mortarboard: Hal Levy; Quad­ranglers: Louis Kalavity; Sigma: Carl Frankel);were judged by Mrs. Kimpton, Mrs. Newmanand Mr. Sayvetz at a pre-Ball tea. The highpoint of the evening came at twelve o'clock whenMrs. Strozier crowned the winning candidate,Edward Zolpe. More than 150 couples dancedto the music of Al Rood and the members of hisband.

B-j men have long beennotorious for not being seen outside B-j fromSeptember to june, spending all their time withinthe grey walls.All the residents get together at meal hourswhen they eat and gripe about the food, reminisce about the great vege-patty scandal and talk verymuch about very little.On every floor there is at least one phonograph,which either pleases or annoys the residents. Thesteam that is blown off is condensed into water,which is thrown and splashed much to the relaxa­tion and wetness of participants.Once in a while a crowd will gather in one ofthe courts to watch someone walking along athird story ledge.About half the residents wander down to thesnack bar in the evenings to look at paintings andwaitresses and each other, over coffee.1+7Mr. Alan Austell, Director of University Housing.The B-J Council: Walt Williams, Elmer Maas, Bob Huff,Bill Harmon, Louis Kalavity, Butch Kline, Pedro Castaing.Largely responsible for the facility of isolationin B-J is the B-J Council which maintains thepermanent extra-curricular program for the resi­dents.Among the facilities provided by the councilare the B-J movies, the snack bar, the library andlistening room with a hi-fi system, the televisionset, the recreation room with facilities for ping­pong, billiards and pool, the recreation area be­hind the courts and the common rooms which areused for dances, parties and meetings.In previous years the council was composed oftwo elected representatives from each house witha president, vice-president, secretary, and treas­urer. Most of the work was done by councilmembers and interested committees. It was dis­covered, however, that this system did not effectthe desirable unity in the courts nor did it provideenough assistance to individual house functions.The constitution was amended so that the councilwould be composed of the eight house presidents,elected twice a year. Beginning in the winterquarter, the new council met and elected BillHarmon chairman and Louis Kalavity, secretary­treasurer. The members of the council wereurged to stress house activities. The job of main­taining the permanent all-court activities wasdelegated to extra-council committees composedexclusively of interested persons. The councilexisted as a policy making group on the courtlevel, with a greater emphasis given to house ac­tivities.The permanent activities were expanded: themovie committee bought a new projector andbegan a policy of showing movies of general in­interest on Friday nights and more artistic mov­ies on Sunday nights; the library improved itshigh-fidelity system and enlarged the collectionof records; the snack bar bought new lightingfixtures, put checkered cloths on the tables, in­stalled a new juke box and hired two waitresses,nearly doubling the business.Descriptions about pictures in B-J art exhibit prove to beoccasion for laughter.

A weekly house journalappeared, publishing local gossip. The men de­voted to public speaking formed the After-DinnerSpeakers' Club, meeting each week. The annual Mead House auction, this yeartitled "Pedro's Folly" after house president PedroCastaing, was only one of the many traditionalMead House activities.Meadians considered this one of their mostsuccessful social, cultural and athletic seasons.The art exhibit was one of their cultural high­lights.

The dorm has, for the most part, residentsin their second or third year in the college. Thegirls of Green this year elected as their presi­dents, Marilyn Vondrack who presided for thefirst and second quarter, and Lorraine Katz, thethird quarter. The resident head in Green,Marge Ravitz, and the assistant residents, LangCollins and Mary Meuser, aid the girls in plan­ning their different functions throughout theyear.

LILI�I C,l1 , ... -Discussion Groups ... LaboreThis undertaking to remake an entire com­munity is only part of the $34,779,000 campaign--the most ambitious financial undertaking evermade by an American University. It met withthe full support of the University. Trusteesstarted things off with $4,000,000 from their S1members, alumni were lined up for $3,000,000and even the faculty (whose salaries the drive issupposed to raise) are dropping their hard-earnedpennies into the till.Louis Block, Joliet, Ill. chemical manufac­turer, left the bulk of his estate--estimated atover 1 S million-- "to stimulate an independent,inspired and continuing program of basic researchand advanced study" in biological and physicalscience because he believed Chicago "deservedlyhad established a reputation as an institutionwhere independent minds were able to exploreuncharted areas." This statement and moneygiven to the regular funds of the University, notto the campaign, was a monument to Chicago'smethods of education.This spirit of study and research, unafraid andunfettered, has made the University great. Thefulfilled goals described on the following pageswill help make it even greater.187A University can be no greater than its faculty.The University of Chicago has long recognizedthis principle. From the day it opened its doorson October 1, 1892, great men have filled thelecterns and laboratories. In order to bring thesemen to Chicago and keep them, the Universityhas paid salaries well above market price.But the standards of 1940 and even 1945 can­not apply to 1956, and there is keen competitionfor great minds, not only from other educationalinstitutions, but from commerce, industry and theprofessions. These higher financial rewards havelured many great teachers and research men tomore lucrative fields.188 More men are needed to meet the needs of anincreasing enrollment and more money is neededto pay them and the men already at the Univer­sity. In addition to its present faculty, the Uni­versity estimates that by 1965, it will have added:60 instructors, 37 assistant professors, 19 asso­ciate professors, and 7 full professors.To meet these requirements, $8,639,000 isneeded above the present budget. Of great helpin filling this need has been the Ford Foundation.In December it gave a half-billion dollar grantto American colleges and universities to raiseteachers' salaries. The University of Chicagoreceived the third largest grant.Distinguished Service Professors, pages 188-89: Tap Raw:Chandreseckhar, Geiling, Kharasch, McKeon, Redfield,Schultz, Stone, Stromgren. Bottom row: Taliaferro, Urey,White and Wilson.ToKeepGreat Minds in aGreat UniversityEmil Johnson conducts tour of campus for new students during Orientation Week.Scholarships to Bring New Students .Every student at an American university is ona "scholarship," for even though he must payfull tuition, he cannot pay the full cost of highereducation. But yet the cost is high, and thou­sands cannot meet it. They simply do not haveenough money to go to college.More money is needed for scholarships andfellowships. Last year the University had to turnaway several hundred qualified high school grad­uates because it had used up all the availablemoney for scholarships.Chicago cannot afford to lose these students,and the nation cannot. Of the nearly ten thou­sand University of Chicago graduates listed inWho's Who, American Men oj Science, Leaders In Edu­cation and the Directory oj American Scholars, almost190 half were dependent on scholarship or fellowshipaid to see them through college. Without thataid, these men might have been unknown: ArnoB. Luckhardt, discoverer of ethylene gas, ClintonJ. Davisson, Nobel lauiate in Physics, George E.Vincent, President of the Rockefeller Founda­tion; Edgar j. Goodspeed, noted theologian andBible expert; Mackenzie King, Premier of Can­ada. These are but five names from a long list.Chicago lags behind other institutions in moniesavailable for scholarships and fellowships. AtHarvard it is $13.15 per student, at Yale $14.03but at the University of Chicago, only $9.57. Tofill this gap, the University needs an additional$2,000,000 over a ten-year period.A New Home for a Great Law School.One of the glories of the University of Chicagois its Law School. Ever since President TheodoreRoosevelt laid the cornerstone in 1903, it hasbeen one of the outstanding law schools in thenation, both for the lawyers it graduated and thelegal research it produced.In 1955 the University's Law School receivedan additional honor when the American BarAssociation chose Chicago as the site of its perma­nent headquarters. Associate Justice RobertJackson laid the cornerstone and a year laterChief Justice Earl Warren dedica ted the building.But the facilities for the school are inadequate.The two classrooms cannot hold the influx ofstudents. Enrollment has steadily risen andapplications have trebled in the last five years.There is no library space to meet ordinary ex­pansion requirements, and there is no space forthe many programs of legal research. Chicago,at present, has less space for its law school than any other major legal institution in the nation.A new group of modern buildings will housethe law school in the future. The buildings pic­tured below will rise between the American BarCenter and Burton Judson-on a plot now occu­pied by temporary vererans' housing.The hexagonal shaped building will provide amodern auditorium for large classes and lectures;the faculty offices and research projects will becentered in the low rectangular building behindit; the library is in the pillar-set structure at theside of the reflecting pool and the student loungein the building to its right. This group of build­ings will provide a unit for study and research asmodern as any in the nation.The new building will cost �p,500,000. Asubstantial start toward raising this money hascome once again from the Ford Foundation whichgave $800,000 in January to be applied toward anew home for the Law School.Model of proposed Law School, Library and Auditorium to be built across Midway near American Bar Association Center.To Maintain a Storehouse oj KnowledgeWilliam Rainey Harper Library, the largest library on campus.THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO • 8 SOUTH DEARBORN STREET • CHICAGO 3, ILLINOIS • ANdover 3-5022Date August 8 19Sj__DESIRING to participate' in The University of Chicago Campaign,I subscribe the sum of S 200, 000. 00 , payable as follows: $ .50, OOO_._QQ__herewith, ands 50,000.00 011 Augnst 8DATE(S)s 5Q,OOO.00 011 August 8DATE(S)s 50,000.00 011 August 8DATE(S)Or as follows:Signature T.._h..... fIJg__ I.l'nL.l) ....iI.lDDdL...JS�tJ..!ea!eCL.Ll.___\"jCtI;owm�pa.lilUnJ,;y'l- _Street ).,p.-<8'---J,oS..,.o u...,tl,U.h""--JDeuc.ijI,._r.LJ....hoULr�nL- _City Chi cago Zone State __I...l...l...1...•n... o........i ...s'---- _Gift payments are tax deductible in the manner and to the extent provided by law.In case of unforeseen circumstances, this pledge may be canceled.If convenient, attach initial payment with pledge.

But inyears of belt-tightening, the library budget hasbeen cut and it has been difficult to keep up withcontemporary studies. Chicago spends only 2per cent of its budget on the library. U.G.L.A.spends 13 per cent, Yale and Princeton, almost6. To keep up with its high standards, the libraryneeds $110,000 annually for ten years.Unrestricted funds are an essential to Uni­versity management. Too small a proportion ofits gifts and bequests are unrestricted, and theUniversity has often been hard put to find cashfor necessary budget support. The Universityneeds $4,640,000 in unrestricted funds, moneywhich will be used for purposes both dramaticand prosaic--whether it be used to buy a pencilor a library of first editions or anything inbetween.

Its program of teacher-training reachesinto every educational level--from the loftyheights of post-Ph.D. study down to kindergarten.In schools, colleges, and universities all acrossthe United States, University of Chicago gradu­ates are training administrative staffs. FormerChicago students are leaders in educationthroughout the world. More than 100 are serv­ing as presidents of universities, colleges, researchinstitutes and seminaries in all parts of the nation.Everywhere the quality of education inAmerica's grammar and secondary schools andjunior colleges has become a matter of greatconcern. This is reflected in books, magazinearticles, radio and television broadcasts, andeven in motion pictures. This concern assumes194 even greater proportions when we consider thenumber of teachers who will be required to meetthe demands of a growing population. Withinthe next decade America will need nearly a mil­flon new classrooms. Even today there is a short­age of 130,000 teachers in the nation's publicschools. By 1970 there will be 70 per cent moremen and women of college age than there are now.Quality of education must be maintained andimproved. The Department of Education ofThe University of Chicago has a long traditionof high quality in its teacher-training program.The University has an obligation to maintainthat quality and at the same time to train moreteachers.To help meet this responsibility, the Universitywill require $1,000,000 ($100,000 a year for tenyears) to establish fellowships for outstandingteachers and administrators whose influence willspread far beyond the boundaries of their ownspecific posts.To Remodel College Classrooms .Harold Swift recalls: "... the Ferris Wheel atthe World's Fair was higher off the ground thanpeople got in Chicago. It was 264 feet high.When we were near the top and stopped, I askedmy father what the buildings were which werepractically at the base of the wheel. 'That's thenew university which opened last fall.' I laterlearned that I was looking at Cobb Hall, andwhat was then called middle, north, and southDivinity dormitories and which are now namedBlake, Gates, and Goodspeed.Cobb Hall, oldest University building. One of these buildings, Cobb, will house Chi­cago college classrooms in the future, but it mustbe modernized. Internal improvement, the col­lege faculty reasons, could help the buildingbecome adequate for their classes. So the facili­ties will be modernized to provide an adequateunit for Chicago'S undergraduate education­the heart of the University. Cost of this improve­ment is $555,000.195Tbats Where the Money Goes .John A. Wilson, head of Faculty Committee. It is an ambitious undertaking indeed. ButChancellor Kimpton and Vice-President GeorgeH. Watkins have assembled a staff competent tohandle the job. This staff includes trustees, ad­ministrative staff, faculty, students, alumni andeven a public-relations firm.Responsibility for raising the money is dividedby its source. These men head the various com­mittees: Edward L. Ryerson, Chairman, Steer­ing Committee, Clarence B. Randall, Chairman,Corporation Gifts Committee, Glen A. Lloyd,Chairman Law School Committee, Frank Mc­Nair, Chairman Special Gifts Committee, EarleLudgin, and John J. McDonough, Co-Chair­men, Alumni Division. John A. Wilson, Chair­man Faculty Committee, Edwin A. Locke, Jr.,Chairman Chicago Citizens Committee.Along with the great effort of the administra­tion officials and faculty members planning andco-ordinating the campaign, it was students orrecent graduates of the U. of C. who worked on thecollection of the data, financial facts and figuresconcerning the University, and its place in theacademic world and the nation. Those factsscattered in innumerable books, reports andknown to the officials of the University, werepainstakingly gathered by the Research Depart­ment of the Campaign, headed by Claude C.Wells, an officer of the U. of c., and staffed100 per cent by students and graduates.The response has been phenomenal. In J anu­ary, the University of Chicago had $36,000,000in its coffers that was not there a scant six monthsbefore. Over $16,000,000 of this amount wasdonated for campaign purposes. The Campaignhad raised half its quota in one sixth of thedeadline.Where Will It Come From?196Development staff in conference, George Watkins, Vice-President in charge of Development, (in white shirt), presiding.Chancellor Lawrence A.

Rockefeller, founder and benefactor of theUniversity, in Hutchinson Commons.The University of Chicago has a heritagealmost unimaginable. It was born in the spell ofgreatness and that aura has clung to it throughoutits 66 years. Whole sections of the world's vo­cabulary were produced there: "chain reaction,""dick tests" "great books" are but a few ex­amples. Science has been enriched and expand­ed, social studies raised to a new level, and wholechapters written into the history of Americanliterature-all on Chicago's campus, these hun­dred acres.Yet greatness has not been without its prob­lems. They existed even before the Universityopened its doors. Yet these were overcome andforgotten, as new problems and new achievementsarose. The problem this past decade has beenfinancial, and the University is striving hard fora solution, confident that the money will beraised, confident that... the FUTURE Will Be as Great as the Past199The 1956 CAP AND GOWN StaffMARY JOAN SPIEGELEDITOR-IN-CHIEFJohn Anthony LloydKenneth NordinExecutive Editors Maurice S.

This book is the product of the blood, sweat, and tears ofa small segment of our student body-each contributing his or her part to buildthe whole- the 1956 Cap and Gown.It is often hard to give credit where credit is due, and any omissions in theseacknowledgements is entirely due to the lapsing memory of the exhausted Editor­in-Chief.Many thanks are in order to Tony Lloyd who helped the Editor-in-Chief indesigning the cover of this book and to Maury Mandel and Stu Zimmerman whohelped in the details of it.Thanks too to Dean Strozier and Rossie for their co-operation with the staff andto Ollie Rogers, Bill O'Connor, Meade Willis and Hank Profit for all their help.Nineteen rahs and fifty-six cheers to the Alumni office, particularly Felicia An­tonelli, the Office of Press Relations, the Development Office, especially DickVanderFeen, and the Athletic Office-all of whom supplied much needed pictures.And a big thank you to Wayne Brill for helping us on photography.Thanks to Sam Fish for his drawings which you see on the division pages of thisbook. And a special thanks to Paul Hoffman for all his help and advice. Thankyou to all the people who helped to write copy for this book and who worked onthe s ales and advertising staffs.A last word of thanks to the coffee machine in Ida Noyes and to Walter, George,Henry and the whole staff in Ida for all their help and co-operation.Photographic CreditsAlumni OfficeSteve BaconChuck BeckerBlack Star Publishing Co.John BowmanWayne BrillJohn BystronChicago Doily NewsChicago TribuneGil Dahl bergDevelopment OfficeRonnie GrossmanEliza Houston Don KupczykStephen LewellynMademoiselle MagazineMidwest School Studios, Inc.Meade WillisHank ProfitOffice of Press RelationsTom PenningtonRobert SbargeMary Joan SpiegelDon StechU.S. News and World ReportGeorge Zygmund210Athan G.

In the three years that 19 year oldAthan Theoharis has reigned as sports managerof Coulter House, Coulter has become renownedfor their sports program. This year topped itoff when they took all the major and minor sports(except handball). This has come about pri­marily as a result of "Ath's" enthusiasm. "Whenhe's so wrapped up in it, and his enthusiasmbubbles over, you can't say no to him". Hebrings out men for every sport in such profusionthat that, combined with the spirit that Coulterteams seem to have, dismays other teams, nomatter how good. Because of his interest insports, his ability and willingness to work, "Ath"was chosen by Coach Boycheff, to be the AssistantDirector of Intramural Sports two years ago.

For the past twoof his four years here, "Ath" has also served asManager of the B-J Snack Bar. Working hardagainst some rather high barriers, Athan hasactually produced from almost nothing a profit­making business organization. Publicity, betterservice, and better facilities have helped tre­mendously. But one of the main attractions formany of the customers is "Ath". If you have aproblem, need a piece of not-too-confidentialinformation on almost any subject, social or aca­demic, just want to relax and kid around, wan­der down to the Snack Bar when "Ath" is there.His interests aren't by any means limited tosports and the Snack Bar; "Ath" isin ISL, StudentGovernment, and NSA (in line with his field ,Political Science); he's a member of Psi Upsilonand Iron Mask. All this and a B average, too.We don't know quite how he does it, but we dofeel that it certainly qualifies him for Man of theYear.
