C. R. Gildart, Department of Militar y Science and Tactics, University of ChicagoTHE National Defense Act of 1920gave the United States her first Mili-tary policy, her first attempt at peacetime preventive measures against the wasteof life and resources that characterized aliof our wars. An interesting estimate ofthe situation was made in the followingquotation from the 1924 Convocation statement of the late President Burton :"The government, presumably and atleast ofEcially, representing the mind of thepeople, has decided on a policy of moderatep.reparedness. This policy is neither mili-taristic nor anti-militaristic, in the sense thatit represents a determination not to go towar even for purely defensive purposes, butdistinctly precautionary. Under it thecountry is hoping to avert war, but is pre-pared not to be taken wholly at a disadvan-tage if war should come. It also takes account of the necessity for a certain amountof police duty even in time of peace."On the whole, there is much to be saidfor this attitude ,of the government. Wedo not want war ; we hope, and will do aliin our power, to avert it, even submittingto great loss if necessary, and using everyppssible effort to settle differences domesticor international without resort to force ;yet we cannot shut our eyes to the fact thatwe may sometime be forced to defend our- selves against aggression and that it is necessary for that reason to have a few men whohave knowledge enough of military affairsto be fairly quickly convertible into ofEcerscapable of training and leading others."The expression of the President whichfollowed the above, of approvai of the WarDepartment's representatives at the University — The Department of MilitaryScience and Tactics — was reached after along series of conferences between representatives of both parties. Continuai attemptby the Professor of Military Science andTactics is made toward the goal of intimateco-operation with the Universtiy Administration according to the policy resultingfrom these meetings. The process of ad-justment of military training in the University took a considerable amount of time.Now, however, the Department of Mili-tarv Science and Tactics rejoices in the as-surance of the late President that the Militar}' education offered has been Chicago-izedto the satisfaction of both parties.Playing the dual role of at once a partof the University staff and War Department representatives are the four RegularArmy officers selected by the Chief of FieldArtillery and detailed to duty at the University. The present Professor of MilitaryScience and Tactics is Major Frederick163164 THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINEMonroe Barrows, Field Artillery, graduateHamilton College, distinguished graduateGeneral Service Schools. The other of-ficers are Captain Jewett DeWitt Matth-ews, University of Idaho 1909, Universityof Chicago 1912, graduate School of Fire;ist Lieutenant William Powell Blair, graduate U. S. M. A. West Point, graduateSchool of Fire: ist Lieutenant Charles Roland Gildart, graduate Albion College,graduate U. S. M. A. West Point. Officersare detailed for a tour of duty of four yearsat the University, the tours overlappingin order to permit continuity of methods.Since the Chicago Unit is exclusively aField Artillery Unit, ali of the officers arefrom that arm of the service.Normally the course offered in the Department ofMilitary Science covers the four undergraduate years, thefirst two years covering the Basic Course and the last twothe Advanced Course. However, special situations arisewhere students in individuai cases are permitted to complete the course before graduation from the institution.Sometimes a student is permitted to finish his military workwhile pursuing a post-graduate course. Students who havesatisfactorily completed two years of instruction in someother senior unit of the R.O.T.C, are given War Departmentcredit for the entire Basic Course of two years. It isthus poBsible for a student to enter the Advanced Courseat the beginning of his freshman year and complete thepurely military preparation for a commission in two yearsinstead of in the customary four. Proper War Departmentcredit in the BaBic Course is given those students who havehad less R.O.T.C. training in another institution than thatiDdicated above.The instruction given is both theoreticaland practical. Among the theoretical sub-jects offered are : Basic:Military HistoryTopography & Ori-entationHippology Ordnance & MaterialMotors & MotorTransportationField Fortifications &CommunicationReconnaissance andMinor TacticsGunnery & Conduct ofFireMilitary LawAdvancedOrganization andTacticsAdministration-Mil-itary policy of theU. S.Practical instruction is carried on at theUniversity and at the Advanced Camp,which every student must attend in orderto gain the commission offered him at theend of his course. At the Universtiy it isconfined to the basic course and covers thefollowing subjects:Two years of Equitation and Horseman-shipField Artillery Driving & DraftMounted Field Artillery DrillThe Battery Commander's DetailPolo, Push Ball, Jumping and otherMounted GamesMounted Field DaysCeremoniesStanding Gun Drill-Elementary GunneryUpon sa tis factory completimi of the course in MilitaryScience, and at the time of the award of his academicdeyree, the student is offered by the President of theMajor Frederick M. Barrows — At Summer CampCHICAGO AND NATIONAL DEFENSE 165United States a commission as Second Lieutenant of FieldArtillery in the Officers' Reserve Corps. The acceptance ofthis commission enforces no obligation upon him, exceptin case of a national emergency, at which time he is calledupon to serve as an officer in the grade to which he hasrisen. Promotion in the Reserve Corps depends upon hisactivity in military work, but does not require the slight-ing of his chosen business or profession.The Reserve Officer out-put of the unitis increasing yearly at a rate which is morethan satisfactory. This is a fair index ofthe prope'r economy of effort and funds ex-pended by the War Department in keepinga unit in an institution. If in return forthe resources put into the work, the government secures the acceptance of an increasingnumber of commissions culminating in ayearly out-put of approximately fifty secondlieutenants of the Field Artillery ReserveCorps, together with proportionate basic en-rollments a unit more than justifìes itsmaintenance expense. The table followingindicates the growth of this phase of theR. O. T. C. activity :'25 -'26* Probable figuresFrom the above study it is seen that whilethe numbers are small, the percentage ofgrowth is large, and that should the lattercontinue at its present rate for two yearsmore the total output would closely ap-proach the goal of fifty commissions or fu-turity commissions earned yearly in the unit.This gratifying state of affairs has beenpartly accomplished by a new policy, insti-tuted during the past school year, whichstandardized the War Department creditextended to former students of senior andjunior units of R. O. T. C. in other insti-tutions. Under this policy a student whohas had three years' service in a high schoolor preparatory school R. O. T. C. unit, or has had two years' service in a college, university or technical school unit of R. O. T.C, for which he has received satisfactorygrades, is given War Department credit forthe entire basic course (the initial twoyears) in our unit, and is given a certificateof eligibility in case he is not 21 years of agewhen he completes the advanced course orhas not received his academic degree.This step was taken out of courtesy toR. O. T. C. endeavor other than our own,and in the belief that a student who hasmanifested that much interest in R. O. T.C. work, regardless of the branch of servicein which his training was conducted isentitled to an equitable amount ofWar Department credit for the time hehas served. The decision of the Professorof Military Science and Tactics in thismatter met with instant response from thestudents, with the results indicated above.At the same time, announcement wasmade that this department would grant hourfor hour credit to students engaging inmajor sports toward satisfying the "drill"requirements for the reserve commission.Previously students had found it impossibleto take the required equitation offered inthe department and participate in baseball,football, basketball and track. This de-parture from the previous scheme of instruction enabled a number of good candi-dates to reconcile their national patriotismand love of alma mater with considerableprofit to themselves.

Thisserved to standardize this work, and bet-tered the class of practical instruction given.Early in the past academic year the CadetOfficers of the R. O. T. C. unit organizedthemselves into a society fostered by theDepartment. The object of the "CrossedCannon" Society as it is càlled, is to increaseinterest in the R. O. T. C. Unit, to studythe whole matter of national defense, toprovide the advantages of group contact im-possible during the regular instruction peri-ods due to the fact that no opportunity isafforded by the schedule for the assembly ofali members of the Unit at any time. Thissociety is of material assistance in develop-ing unit of purpose and esprit. Its members were filled with an excellent manlyspirit, and gave the department a great dealof assistance. It became known on the campus through its Military Ball held at theSouth Shore Country Club during thequarter. Its meetings were quite seriouslyprofessional in the character of the subjectsdiscussed.Doubtless the feature of Polo at the University of Chicago, will appeal to the Alumni as an unusual college sport, and willtome as a surprise when these columns in-form them of its growing popularity at theUniversity of Chicago, and elsewherethroughout the country where mountedunits of R. O. T. C. are found. The en-thusiastic 1925 Polo Squad learned a greatdeal about this ancient Persian game andderived mudi healthful and beneficiai re-creation. The coaching was done by istLieutenant William P. Blair, U. S. A.Although the applications to join weremany, the squad was by necessity limited tofourteen cadets because of the small numberof ponies available.. Those candidates wereselected who excelled in horsemanship andwho had demonstrated skill in the use of the stick, gained from repeated practice inthe cage.The first game to be played was indoorswith the Dexter Park Club, and althoughthe team was defeated 13-5, the showingmade was excellent in view of the handicapin not having previously any practice in indoor polo. The next was an outdoor gamewith the same opponents. Here our teamdid splendid work in holding their older,better mounted and more experienced ad-versaries to a 5-5 score. These two werethe only games played with an outside organization. However, ali members of thesquad were enabled to play frequently ingames between our own "Red" and "Green"teams. These games were always hotlycontested and furnished much enjoyment tothe onlookers.An attractive sweater and insignia wasadopted for those players who qualified inrequirements. Through the generosity ofMajor F. M. Barrows, Professor of Military Science and Tactics, it was possible toaward sweaters and insignias to the follow-ing members of the Polo Squad :Owen S.

However, theentire season was so occupied with wetweather that there was no opportunity touse this field. Nevertheless, there is muchhope for the spring of 1926. Fortune isbeginning to smile on us. The day may notbe distant when our polo team will be en-gaging in intercollegiate polo, and the members thereof recognized as worthy of theMinor Sport "C."Ali of the foregoing emphasizes thegrowth of the Military activity at theUniversity since its establishment in 1920.However, the graduates of the University,in an article of this kind are entitled toCHICAGO AND NATIONAL DEFENSE 167University of Chicago Polo Team • — Military Science Departmentknow the whole truth-wherein the Department falls short of the standard expectedof an integrai part of a University of thissize and character as viewed both by theUniversity and by the War Department.While the advanced enrollment is increasing with gratifying rapidity, the basic andtotal enrollments are hardly holding theirown. During the past two years the formerwent from 149 to 136, and the latter from189 to 181. Figures for the current yearindicate a stili further falling off in thebasic enrollment.This condition is partially the resultantof a rigid enforcement of the Army Regula-tion requiring a continuance for two yearsof training once begun in the basic course —a regulation more often evaded than ob-served during the past. However, other in-stitutions of the nature of the Universityof Chicago are developing their basic course,while as far as numbers are concerned, theU. of C. unit is retrograding.The R. O. T. C. units at Harvard, Yale,Princeton, Cornell and Stanford and manyother privately endowed universities, estab-lished at the same time as this, have aliprogressed rapidly enough to satisfy theWar Department. Chicago unit is listedby the Chief of Field Artillery well toward the bottom in efficiency, equipment andhousing, support and productiveness. Theofficers of the department are frank in ad-mitting this condition and have been ex-onerated from blame for its existence bytheir War Department chiefs. Duringthe period nine different officers have as-sailed the problem in an effort to lift theUniversity unit up from its "celiar position"in the eyes of the War Department. Thetwo separate staffs that have served hereduring the five year life of the unit havingbeen selected for the position, have doubtlessbeen as energetic in their work as those whohave been detailed to other more successfulunits.Active support of the Alumni of the University would go far toward obtaining anenrollment which would insure its retentionby the War Department. It is not the desire of the Professor of Military Scienceand Tactics to obtain a large enrollmentwherein the quality of the cadets has noconsideration. His policy is to build up,with the assistance of the University andits Alumni, a unit three or four hundredstrong, in which vacancies are filled by arigid process of selection, based upon character and officer-like qualities.(Please turn to page 205)Future of Industriai EducationDDRESS delìverei by PresidentMax Mason at the Second Annual Conference on Educationand Industry held at the University.The great, modem industriai system ischaracterized by the responsibility forhuman happiness which has been forcedupon the administrators of the great in-dustries.The responsibility has been met. Business consists no longer of the exploitationof public necessity for private gain, although business remains both competitiveand cooperative. The shift of emphasis toco-operation, within the industries, and withthe public, has been complete. The spiritof modem industry is service, and the greatbusiness executives of today are leaders inthe economie and social progress of therace.It is clear that the happiness and welfareof the people depend upon the degree ofefficiency with which modem business per-forms its tasks. It is equally clear that thedegree of efficiency with which modembusiness performs its tasks depends uponthe competence, training, and vision of theindividuai participants in the large cooperative undertaking of satisfying humanwants, which is the essence of modem business.It is then obvious that the subject oftraining for the industries is one of para-mount importance. The early training,through a formai apprenticeship system,was succeeded by a less formai system oftraining, hearing, however, resemblance tothe system which it supplanted. Businesstook to itself promising youths and trainedthem up in the way it would have themgo. Most of the great industriai leadersof the past received their education andtraining for business in this manner.With the shift to the modem point ofview, education and training for businessmust be upon a different basis from whatit has been in the past. Society is facedwith problems of importance and magni- tude unparalleled in the history of theworld, and possesses concentration of powerfor their solution. No one better than thebusiness leader himself realizes that theseproblems and situations cali for men ofwide training and great vision ; and that tosecure these men we must resort to moreadequate and effective methods of industriaieducation than we have in the past.The increasing ratio of population tonaturai resources demands a wider andbetter utilization of these resources. Theperiod of exploitation is passing, if it hasnot already passed. Wiser utilization ofour naturai resources calls on the one handfor a more detailed and comprehensiveappreciation of technology, and on the otherhand, for more efficient methods of organization and administration.We have within recent years witnesseda rapid concentration in control of industriai activities. Business has followed amore or less naturai tendency to combinein order to escape some of the consequencesof ruinous competition and to reap theeconomies of large-scale production.These obvious economies, arising out oflarge-scale production, may cause us tooverlook the less obvious fact that theseeconomies can be even larger when wesolve more of the problems arising in connection with the organization and internaicontrol of tremendously large businesses.Moreover, this tendency towards largebusiness and great concentration in controlof industriai activities creates a problem ofsocial control.The relation between employer and em-ployee presents problems which have not,by any means, been satisfactorily solved.The successful operation of a continued system of free contract depends upon themaintenance of co-operation and goodwillbetween these parties. The utilization ofhuman resources must be rendered moreeffective, and of ali potential human assets,willingness is perhaps the greatest.Modem science has unleashed forces and168FUTURE OF INDUSTRIAL EDUCATION 169powers hitherto undreamed of. With thecoming in of capitalistic-machine production after the Industriai Revolution, menbegan to wonder whether we were notcreating situations which we should neverbe able to control. More recently, someoutstanding thinkers have seriously raisedthe question as to whether industriai society, pushing forward at such a tremendousgait, is not in great danger because of ourinability to control the physical forces setloose in the world. The omnious voicesare few, but they are significant They caliattention to grave problems with which society is faced.A saddened and demoralized world atthe dose of the World War stimulated thefeeling of unrest in the breast of largenumbers of people. We shall not be ableto silence the voices of those who complainbitterly of the present organization ofsociety by legislation, by suppression of freespeech, or by wholesale deportations. Curefor the evils is being and must be obtainedthrough enlightened industriai and commercial leadership.These are a few of the major problemswith which society is confronted in thisera. Many others might be cited. These,however, are sufficient to indicate that thefuture needs industriai and business leaders of wide training and great vision ; menwho have a sound and thorough apprecia-tion of the complex and delicately posedstructure of society; men who have a keenappreciation of their social responsibilities.What now of education for business inthe future? In the first place, I am con-vinced that the modem university in itsprogram of training for business must notneglect general education which must beregarded as indispensable in any programof training for business.The curriculum of the collegiate schoolof business must have sweep and scope ifthe modem university is to turn out menwho will be of assistance to society in solv-ing its problems of the future. Businessis, after ali, a pecuniarily organized schemeof gratifying human wants, and, properlyunderstood, falls little short of being as broad, as inclusive, as life itself in its mo-tives, aspirations, and social obligations. Itfalls little short of being as broad as aliscience in its technique. Training for thetask of the business administrator must havebreadth and depth comparable with thoseof the task. The tool must have breadthfor strength, and be tapered gradually tothe cutting edge of the specialist.In the second place, the task of trainingfor industriai and business leadership inthe future is one in the performance ofwhich both industry and the Universitymust assume responsibility. The university, I am convinced, cannot without co-operation from industry, perform the task.Industry without the assistance of the university will not, in my opinion, be able toperform it. It must be performed by theuniversity and industry in cooperation.Many different experiments in industriaieducation on a cooperative basis have been,and are now being conducted, with varyingsuccess. I should like to emphasize onepoint, which I feel must remain in mindif this cooperative task be successfully done.In ali our training for participation in theworld's work we are prone to lay muchemphasis on teaching a formalism of de-cision and action. We must see that inteaching the formalism we do not neglecttraining for the deeper insight — we mustbe sure that we cherish and preserve theresearch background, the quest for truth,rather than the learning of the thought ofothers.Formalism and the deeper insight — thegreater of stress is the deeper insight. Iam sure that this view point will be safeguarded through the present cooperativearrangement between the University ofChicago and the Institute of America MeatPackers.

The answer revealed the longing of young Rus-sians for education, and the question em-phasized the wide difference in the schoollife of young people there and here.Povorskaya 22 had the reputation of being the worst example of housing condi-tions in a city completely staggered by itshousing problem. The building as a schoolfor children of navy officers had once hadsome claims to grandeur, an elaborate ball-room and a pretty chapel, but during thewar it had been stripped for a hospital andlater used as a barracks until the brokenwindows and wrecked plumbing caused itto be discarded, left a victim to neighbor-ing wood seekers. In the autumn of 1922,students arriving from the provinces to at-tend the Moscow University, fìnding them-selves forced to walk the streets or sleep indisease-infested stations, petitioned for theuse of this building. As soon as their pleawas granted a self-appointed house commit-tee assigned to each applicant a place on thefloor in one of the upper rooms. When thestudents moved in not one stick of furniturewas to be seen and very few doors.While we were observing the large roomgiven over to women students, alreadymore livable than the other rooms, a vig-orous young woman was drawn into con-versation about her trip to Moscow, herprospect of gaining entrance to the University, and her plans for making a livelihoodduring the coming winter. She told of asupply of potatoes brought in from thecountry which should last several weeks, ofher most treasured possession, a primus(small oil stove), and explained that shehad a good chance of securing a position with the Mosselprom selling cigarettes onthe Street corner. If that failed, there wasalways 'black work' which she was notafraid of because she was strong. 'Blackwork' usually meant unloading wood atthe stations."Is it worth it?" blurted out one of ourparty. "Wouldn't it be better for you toreturn to your village and leave this over-crowded city?"The girl looked at her companions andlaughed and then said quite seriously, "Iwould rather die than go back. You don'tknow these little villages. This is Moscow.Here is life and work."Visitors to Russia were so generally im-pressed by the difficuties ali classes of students meet that one carne to expect thequestion, "Why do they stick to it?" Rea-sons are numerous, many not unlike thosegiven by students in American colleges, butI have never heard one as revealing in itssimplicity as that from the representativeof the group which suffered most, the country students, "This is Moscow. Here islife and work."Russian youth has a healthy curiosity andno fear of displaying it. A visit to thisnewly organized dormitory by a party ofAmericans was interesting, probably signifi-cant ; their questions at least were entertaining. As we made our way through thebuilding each room emptied its twenty orthirty inhabitants into the corridor until,upon our arrivai at the exit, we had thewhole dormitory in tow ready to turn thetables and present the visitors with questions about America. Some of them werehumorous and we stayed to joke with therecognized wits of the house. Suddenly atali, undernourished boy whom I had no-ticed earlier in the evening propped upagainst his sack of provisions studying ahand-made geometry, turned to a corre-170OBSERVATIONS ON THE RUSSIAN STUDENT 171spondent, a Harvard graduate, and said, "Ishould like to know if American studentsare anything like us." We looked at oneanother, each visioning scenes from his college days. The correspondent said some-thing like, "Yes and no," and we left soonafter."Yes and no" was a general but rathersatisfactory answer for what seemed at firstan embarrassing question. There is un-doubtedly a similarity in ali students thatcomes from like interests and aspirations,and, if one were not so apt to judge by ex-ternals, the similarity should outweigh thedifferences, which are, after ali, only a mat-ter of a new overcoat or a shabby one,three meals a day or one, a bed in a singleroom, or a mattress on the floor withtwenty others.The automobile, almost considered a ne-cessity in America, is often used to illustrate the opulent standard of living wehave adopted. Before the First MoscowUniversity where 15,000 students are regis-tered I have never seen an automobile, norbefore the High Technical school wherethe 6,000 students are supposed to be inbetter circumstances. It is difficult to ima-gine a Moscow student driving up to hisschool in a Ford. Were he the son of aNepman it is possible that he might ownone, but, if he wished to stay in school, hewould leave it at home or park it severa!blocks away from the school building.Around the campus of one of our mid-westcolleges I have seen more cars parked thancan be found in the whole city of Moscow,which is the New York, Washington, andChicago of Russia. The parking problemis not yet one of Russia's worries.Tram fare in Moscow is about fourcents, but the majority of the studentswalk. A few are issued tickets ; others picka crowded car and ride until they see theconductor coming. A freshman at the In-stitute of Ways and Communications, theson of a well known engineer, walks fourmiles across Moscow to attend classes, onlyallowing himself the luxury of a ride onthe coldest days. The succession of prettydresses with shoes, silk stockings and hatsin harmonious colors worn by our college girls would astonish a Russian woman student. One winter outfit, one summer out-fit, perhaps a simple party dress are ampiefor her needs. She would say, "What morecan a student want ; only actresses mustwear finery." The loss of an overcoat froma limited wardrobe, however, becomes atragedy, and many a plea has come to theStudent Relief office, "My coat has beenstolen and I am forced to miss my classes.Can you help me?"Russian students expect hardships whenthey take up their studies; the great majority have never known even a moderatedegree of luxury. Their willingness to ac-cept the conditions of student life is dueas much to habit as to volition. Before thewar $25 was the minimum monthly budgetfor a university student and 90 per centlived very dose to it. In 1922 a studentestimated his living costs at $7.50 and in1924 at $10.00. Benefit concerts for students have always been as regular as settle-ment dances here.The present economie difficulties inflictupon the student another hardship — inadequate equipment for learning. He is fullyaware that the increased registration inuniversities aggravates the shorteomings oflecture rooms, laboratories, and libraries,and he knows that he is being taught byprofessors who even now are having tre-mendous difficulties to keep abreast of theirsubjects. The fact that he must waitmonths for his turn at the laboratory whilethe theoretical part of his work has beenlong completed and the continuai interrup-tions caused by reorganization, administra-tive experimentation and politicai differences are irritating evidence of thedisadvantageous educational conditionsthrust upon him. The true student keepshis mind fixed on the essentials. If his workis hampered by the lack of a microscope ora recent book, he joins his professor andother serious students in persistent effortsto secure it, thus unconsciously making hisschool career a more real and precious partof himself.Of course there are compensations forthe hard life of the Russian student found(Please ttiTTi to page 179)The ALUMNI CAMPAIGN ™51 3>/fi^<^<^c^^<^^t^<^t^c^r^t^<^(^<^<^f^ .NOW that the Alumni Campaign isapproaching a state of completeness,it is interesting to cast around anddiscover "where ali the money has comefrom." Just seven per cent of the $2,000,-ooo sought from the Alumni is stili to beraised, and an analysis of the sources of the$1,870,732 already pledged by the MaroonAlumni will show to a, certain extent howthe Chicago Alumni responded to the caliin various parts of the country.Of course the major part of the subscriptions has come from the city of Chicago, forthe simple reason that there are moreAlumni in that city than elsewhere, and, nodoubt, better organized. The amountpledged by Alumni in Chicago is $1,080,-510, while the total for ali other cities is$653,971. Chicago, therefore, has exceededthe quota originally set for that metropolitandistrict, the quota having since been in-creased.As might be expected, the city of NewYork, which claims large groups of alumnifrom ali universities, has claimed a goodlynumber of Midway graduates and formerstudents, and as a result that city leads aliothers, with the exception of the city ofChicago district, in number and amount ofpledges to the campaign. As this is written,on February i, the Gothamites are justturning the $175,000 mark in their locaicampaign for the University. This is quitea strong showing, and shows New Yorkersare workers.And next to New York, comes SouthernCalifornia and the district of Los Angeles,including Pasadena, Hollywood and thenumerous other residental towns which surround the southern California metropolis.This is another strong "Chicago" section ofthe country.Except for these two Continental ex-tremes, midwestern cities hold the lead innumber of subscriptions. Among the most prominent of these are the cities of Cleveland, St. Louis, Kansas City and Detroit,while many other towns in the same regionhave made excellent showings in proportionto their populations in terms of ChicagoAlumni.Considering the campaign by States, eightof the 48 are far in the van of ali others.These eight are Illinois, California, NewYork, Indiana, Iowa, Michigan, Ohio andWisconsin. After these eight, Pennsylvaniashould be named as one of those high on thelist. Then come many states closelybunched together.Florida, the state where millionaires aresupposed to bloom into being "over night,"has not called any disproportinate numberof University of Chicago men and women,and the showing of the penninsula, althoughcreditable considering the number of A-lumni there, is far behind many of the otherstates.Although communication with thoseAlumni of the University whose workcarries them into foreign countries is oftenboth scanty and irregular, the campaign hasreceived considerable support from thisgroup. Canada leads in the foreign division, but is followed closely by China, andamong the subscribers in this latter countryare many native Chinese who received theireducation at the University of Chicago.Next to China comes Japan, and then thePhilippine Islands. Scattering subscriptionshave been received from Alumni in almostali other nations in the world.This preliminary review gives a generalidea of the results to date. No attempt atcomplete, definite fìgures, of course, is madeat this time. The campaign is stili goingforward, and subscriptions are coming infrom ali sections. There is now every pros-pect of fullest success by spring, thanks tothe steady loyalty and assistance of Alumnievervwhere.172Large Gift for Nile ResearchGeneral Education Board Appropriates $200,000 for Systematic Surveyunder Professor BreastedA N APPROPRIATION of $200,000/-* for excavating in the Nile valleyJ- JL has been made to the OrientaiInstitute of the University of Chicago bythe General Education Board. This sumwill be devoted toward determining thechronological sequence of prehistoric occu-pation in that part of the world, and towardlinking up the Nile valley with prehistoricEurope, and the preceding geological ages.Part of the funds will be used to enlargethe staff already at work on the epigraphicexpedition in Luxor, and part to aid in thecompletion of the archives now being ex-amined at the University.Prof. James H. Breasted, noted Egypto-logist, will direct the entire project.Outlining the possibilities of such an expedition and pointing out that no systematicsurvey of the Nile river terraces and cavernshearing traces of ancient man has ever beenmade, Prof. Breasted in a recent statementdeclared : "An examination of our pro-jected plans and work for the last sixyears, will, I hope, make it clear that thedesired support of the Orientai Institute offers a unique opportunity for the firsteffective occupation of a new era of in-vestigation from which we are assemblingfor the first time ali the recovered factsregarding human origins, and out of whichis growing a new conception of man basedupon this newly available knowledge of thehitherto lost chapter of the human career."Two scientists will be added to the Uni-versity's staff as a result of the appropria-tion : a paleontologist who will examine thevarious skeletal pieces discovered in thefield ; and a surf ace geologist who will survey the territory and determine the variousgeological epochs through which the newlydiscovered ancient man must have passedin the course of their evolution.Prof. Breasted decided upon his newarcheological venture about a year ago whenhe carne upon a mass of rubbish in a cavernwhose location he described as "about aday's journey above Luxor." He saw thatnatives were picking up the various piecesof flint and other specimens that gave evi-dences of the life of prehistoric man.

Woodward ofthe Law School will assume the office ofVice-President, to which he was elected bythe Board of Trustees.Dr. Tufts is merely withdrawing fromheavy administration duties. He will continue as Head of the Department of Philosophy, and devote himself, as he now desires,to the completion of certain literary work.During his administration as Vice-President he contributed greatly to the progressof the University in the last three years,always co-operating most effectively underthe energetic leadership of President Bur-ton. During the Alumni Campaign he wasa very active figure, and did much towardadvancing its general success. His extendedtour among our Alumni Clubs, which heundertook jointly with Director Stagg lastyear, brought Dr. Tufts in direct touchwith hundreds of Alumni, a journey heremembers and speaks of with real pleasure.Everywhere, the Alumni were happy tomeet him, and were proud on every oc-casion, as opportunity afforded, to presenthim in informai talks and more formai ad-dresses to their communities. At this timeof his retirement from Vice-Presidential ser vice, the Alumni join with the Universitycommunity in extending him sincere thanksfor his ever willing and constructive con-tribution. It is deeply and widely appre-ciated, he may be sure. His long years ofservice and devotion to the University invarious capacities have amply earned relieffrom arduous administrative work. TheAlumni wish him good health and full reali-zation in the literary endeavors to whichhe desires to devote himself.Concerning his own appreciation of Dr.Tufts' assistance, President Mason stated:"Dean Tufts has devoted his great abilitywhole-heartedly to the administrative work ofthe University during the last three years. Heabandoned his work in philosophy at the cali ofDr. Burton when Dr. Burton's time was ab-sorbed by the development program, and carriedon the work of the President's office after Dr.Burton's death. Although desirous of returningto his work in philosophy, he generously con-tinued his administrative activities during thepresent year, to aid me in the period of orienta-tion. The appreciation of his services is um-versal. It has meant everything to me to havehad the support of his unfailing soundness ofjudgment, kindliness, and tact."The election of Professor Woodward tothe office of Vice-President is a happy one.For years he has been justly popular withthe students and Alumni of the Law School,and he is well known to many other Alumniof the University. He has undertakenvarious administrative tasks for the University in recent years, in every case withpronounced success. He is eminently fitted174EVENTS AND COMMENT 175to continue forcefully the work thus farcarried on by Dr. Tufts. During the campaign and at other times Professor Woodward met and addressed groups of Alumni,an activity which he enjoyed and in whichhe unfailingly'won the appreciative admira-tion of his hearers. Happily we extend himcongratulations on his election, and bestwishes for a most successful administration.A « «IT IS not too soon to cali attention atthis time to the coming annual JuneReunion. The Reunion of 1926 will pos-sess unusual significance thisReunion year in various ways. It willbe the 35th anniversary of theUniversity, the 70th anniversary of the OldUniversity, and the 89th anniversary ofRush Medicai College. It will be ourfirst Reunion under the administration ofour new leader, President Mason. It willmark the class anniversaries of a numberof our largest and best organized classes.It will be, also, in the nature of a celebra-tion of the first great Alumni Campaigneffort on behalf of the University, and domuch, in the way of proper publicity, toward advancing the success of the generalpublic campaign. Many incentives, there-fore, are present, in addition to the tradi-tional interest in our Juné gathering, toward making the Reunion of June, 1926, atruly memorable occasion.It is not too soon to suggest, and we bothsuggest and urge that ali class and association officers and others in charge of Reunionevents begin now to pian for the "Biggestand Best" Reunion we have ever held.» » «THE signifiance of research work, aslaying the ground-work or basis forthe advancement of society in practicallyali lines of worth-while hu-Research , •t 1man endeavor, is not alwaysP nce clearjy comprehended orthoroughly appreciated. The Ione workerin some remote and unnoticed corner of auniversity laboratory, striving on withseemingly tireless energy and inspired de- termination, often working under most dis-couraging conditions, frequently makesfundamental discoveries or discloses definiteprinciples that later become the basis onwhich entire industries are built up. Inthe light of the subsequent successful business or other enterprise the originai andbasic contribution of the university research worker is many times overlooked oreven forgotten. It is hardly too much tosay that there are very few advances in thegeneral living conditions, welfare and progress of the race which can not be tracedback somewhere in their beginnings to afundamental contribution in a college oruniversity laboratory or library.It is well, therefore, that the signficanceof research, as exemplified in our univer-sities, of which institutions the Universityof Chicago is one of the outstandingleaders, be brought to the attention of thepublic from time to time. President Mason, in a recent address before the Commercial Club of Chicago, has done thismost effectively. In that address he illus-trated the importance of research work asfollows :"Suppose that we think of an imaginarycountry in which it might be discovered thatthere existed an enormously extensive and compiei system of entirely automatic undergroundrailways; trains rushing back and forth without human direction. If such a system as thatwere discovered, the first duty of man wouldbe to fìnd out about it, to learn where the trainswent, and to prepare a timetable. The systemwould be quite useless without such knowledge,and the first duty of society in that imaginaryworld would be to set a body of men at thetask of studying this automatic railway systemto the end that it would become of real use."We are somewhat in a condition of this kindin regard to the forces of nature. The researchworkers in universities are the men studyingthe forces of nature, preparing the timetablesfor the railroads. The underground system be-comes of greater and greater value as the lawsgoverning its operation aie known. It is thefunction of the research workers in universitiesto form an ever increasing and definitely knownbody of facts; to establish general laws whichmay be safely used for producing results neverbefore contemplated."ALUMNI AFFAI R SSecond Quarterly Alumni CouncilMeetingTHE second regular quarterly meeting ofthe Alumni Council, for 1925-26, was heldon January 27 in the Alumni Office.

K. Hall, Chairman ofthe Football Rules Committee, at thedinner given by the New York Sun to theso-called "Ali American Team" which theirstaff selected. I think you will agree withme that a dinner of this kind, attended asit was by the entire sporting fraternity ofNew York, was far from a good thing forintercollegiate football. I certainly feel thatMr. Hall did a very manly and courageousthing to make the speech that he did atthis dinner. Mr. Hall made a vigorousprotest against "All-American" selections,emphasizing football as essentially a teamgame and not an exhibition of individuaiu . yystars.In this connection, I might say thatThe Sun has gotten out a pamphlet entitled"College Football— What Do You Thinkof It?" .in which they reproduced Mr.Hall's address, together with a letter dis-agreeing with his remarks, and they aresending a copy of this pamphlet to ali thecollege presidents in America asking fortheir opinions. If the college presidents,after thoroughly understanding the situa-tion, come back strongly giving as theiropinion that there is an over-emphasis of theindividuai and that "Ali American" teamsand especially the banqueting and exhibit-ing of them is very bad for the game, thiswould help a lot towards preventing TheSun from building up a foundation onwhich to justify the continuation of theirdinner next year.Of course, I don't know how you feelabout it, but personally I am a strong be- liever in college football, and believe thatthe present tendency of college players tojump right into the professional game ishaving the effect of discrediting the gamein the eyes of the public. What the professional team promoters are doing is tocapitalize on the newspaper publicity givenindividuai players. A dinner such as TheSun gave tends to exploit a few players atthe expense of the game as a whole. Any-thing that we men interested in alumniwork can do towards preventing the over-emphasis of the individuai will benefitgreatly college football. It is primarily,as you know, a team game, and the individuai only shines through the efforts ofhis teammates. "Ali American" teams arereally nothing but scattered opinions. College and professional football must be keptapart and bringing a bunch of youngstersinto such an atmosphere as existed at TheSun Dinner tends to promote the professional spirit among our college players.I feel that we will ali be doing a goodjob if we help Mr. Hall in his efforts tokeep football where it belongs — a team gameand a college game.Sincerely yours,W.

Zimmermann,Chairman, Alumni Committee.Dear Sir:In reply to your letter of November 3rd,I should like to add my subscription to thelist of Alumni who have given something.I shall have to make my subscription for178THE LETTER BOX 179fifty dollars payable in two installments,one on January 1, 1929, and the other onAprii ist of the same year.I am very sorry that I cannot make apromise now of a larger subscription but Iam leaving here at the end of the presentacademic year to return to America andfinish two more years of training in medicine. With a family to support and the ex-penses of these two years ahead, it meansthat every penny must count.After the medicai training is completedand I get back here on the job, the subscription will be paid, and, if I can makeit more then, I'il do so gladly.By the way, this subscription is from bothMrs. Turner (nee Katherine Ensminger)and myself, for she is also a Chicagoite,though not a graduate. We both wish theUniversity of Chicago the best of successalways.Very sincerely yours,Edward L. Turner, '22, S. M. '23.Concerning the Old UniversityJanuary 5, 1926Dr. T. W. Goodspeed,University of Chicago.Dear Dr. Goodspeed :Do you know where I can see a pictureof the small building which housed the in-struments at the Old University of Chicagowith which the time for the CentralWest was calculated? The building waslocated at the N. E. corner of RhodesAvenue and 34th Street. I note that thehuge dimension stones of this building arestili protruding out of the ground where thebuilding once stood ; in fact, one can see theoutline of the entire foundation.It may interest you to know that there isa Church building on the South Side whichis built entirely from stone taken from theOld University. Indeed, the main door-way of the Church, with its massive col-umns together with the great oak doors,is to be seen there just as it was at the oldCollege.I must teli you that the day the corner-stone of the Old University was laid was amighty day for the City of Chicago. But that same evening thieves used the derrickand raised the cover, took out the corner-stone box, stole everything of value in it,and threw the box, together with papersthey did not want, in a nearby field. Myfather found it together with ali loosepapers and turned the box over to SenatorStephen A. Douglas who was staying, Ithink, at the Tremont House. That is thereason no one seemed to be able to locatethe box. It was never replaced.Through this meeting Senator Douglasand my father became very good friends.I think it to be a good idea for some ofthe retiring classes, or other interestedgroup, to have this great dimension stoneplaced on the campus of the present University of Chicago. They could have thenames of ali the presidents, trustees andfaculty members of the Old Universitycarved on the stone. I will be very glad tolocate this great stone for them if theydesire.For your information my son attendedMichigan and finished at the present University of Chicago. Yours very truly,C. H.

These great Russians, WhiteRussians, Ukrainians, Caucasians, Geor-gians, Armenians are like the thirty thou-sand students who gathered from ali partsof Europe into Paris to listen to Abelard,students who carried their bags on theirbacks and walked from Padua to Paris, beg-ging their way along the road. They arenot to be too much pitied by the Americanstudent. Their path to knowledge may bemore dangerous, but it is less cluttered ;they travel with less ease but with moreenthusiasm; and, to an observer, they seemto find the goal infinitely more desirable.Dr. Tufts Resigns as Vice-President—Professor Woodward Elected tothat OfficeDESIRING to devote more time toteaching and literary work, Prof.James H. Tufts will resign his duties asVice-President and Dean of Faculties of theUniversity on Aprii I. He will, however,retain the post of professor and Head ofthe Department of Philosophy.Prof. Frederic C. Woodward of the LawSchool has been elected Vice-President bythe Board of Trustees, it was also an-nounced. He has already been relieved ofa part of his teaching duties in order tobecome of immediate assistance to the President, but his term will not begin officiallyuntil Aprii I."It has been a busy three years," Prof.Tufts stated. "Three years ago when I wasasked by President Burton to be Vice President, I planned to devote half my time toteaching and half to the duties of administration, but the administration work soondeveloped into a full time job."When the great campaign drive began,Dean Tufts' duties increased as PresidentBurton found it necessary to devote muchof his time to the drive. "I found that thework of administration had to be one bythe job, and not by the hour."He is now going to do some of the things<on which he has had his heart set for manyyears — the writing of several books. Onewill be a "History of American Thought."He will also begin immediately on a revision of his part of the "Dewey and Tufts"text on Ethics, which was published in1908."Though the vice presidency carries withit mudi work and worry, I have also hadmany plcasant experiences. I shall alwaysremember the day Prof. Lillie walked into.my office and said that he and Mrs. Lillie would like to donate a building to the University for purposes of biological research."On receiving announcement of his electron to take Dean Tufts' position as VicePresident, Prof. Woodward said : "I con-sider it a great honor and a great responsibility to succeed a man so distinguished inscholarship and so beloved by the Universitycommunity as Dr. Tufts."The duty of the Vice President, asstated in the University by-laws, is to 'cooperate with the President'. I look forward with the keenest pleasure to theopportunity of co-operating with such aleader as President Mason in his plans forthe development and betterment of ourUniversity."Prof. Woodward will continue part ofhis teaching in the Law School. He wasgraduated in 1894 from Cornell University.With the exception of three years when hepracticed law in New York city, he hastaught law.

Among hispublications are A History of the AmericanNation, The Confederation and the Con-stitution, and The Courts, the Constitution,and Parties.Wide Scope of Correspondence StudyMORE than 7,000 students in thiscountry and in twenty-one foreign countries were registered for correspondencecourses given by the University of Chicagoduring 1924-25, according to a recent report to President Max Mason. Ninety-three per cent of those who fìnished coursesgained credit for them by passing a finalexamination, thus making a new record forthe department.Tables showing registration by subjectsfor each of the last ten years record a largedemand for instruction in English, mathe-matics, history, and Romance languages, anda steadily increasing one for courses in education and German.Of the 7,000 students, 1,893 had not beenconnected previously with the University,and constituted 29 per cent of the wholenumber who first entered into student relations with the University during 1924-25.182 THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINEVice-President Tufts' Address atChapel Ground-BreakingON AUGUST 28 ground was brokenfor the University Chapel, as pre-viously announced in the Magazine. Thegreat structure is to stand in the squarebounded by 59th Street, Woodlawn Ave-nue, 58th Street, and University Avenue.The commencement of this work, which isto result in a building of cathedral designseating about 2,000 people and crownedby a tali tower, was attended by a simpleceremony in which religious feeling wasmanifest. An invocation was pronouncedby Professor J. M. P. Smith, followingwhich a brief address was delivered byVice-President James H. Tufts.Vice-President Tufts spoke as follows:"This life were brutish did we not sometimesHave intimation clear of wider scope,Hints of occasion infinite, to keepThe soul alert with noble discontent.— James Russell Lowell"The University from the beginning hashad some place for public worship as partof its regular activity. On the first day,students gathered in Cobb Hall for thefirst chapel exercises. For several years thenorth end of Cobb Hall was used for regularchapel service and Sunday vespers. I shallalways remember a sermon by EdwardEverett Hale, delivered there, on the oldPuritan question and answer: 'What is thechief end of Man? Man's chief end is toglorify God.'"Next, Kent was used for religious serv-ices and finally in Mandel Hall, dedicatedin 1903, the University was able to establishthe Sunday morning service."I do not know how early the thoughtcarne for a great chapel as a beautiful anddignified place of worship. A letter fromMr. John D. Rockefeller written in 1910expressed the Founder's desire that such achapel be constructed to dominate the University group and to express the spirit ofreligion which should ever guide the University."The chapel project was not undertakenat once. Just before the world-war, planswere prepared by the eminent architectBertram Gosvenor Goodhue, but their exe-cution was prevented by the war. When Mr. Burton became president, one of hisforemost objects was to develop the chapelplans. He held that the chapel, the onlybuilding which the Founder had given en-tirely, should be built, if possible, withinhis lifetime, and that it should be used assoon as possible."Conferences with Mr. Goodhue, andafter his lamented death with his successors,have led to the completion of plans for thestructure for which we are to break groundtoday."The earliest religious building was thetempie; not a church but a shrine for thegod. The thought in the minds of men wasthat of a dwelling-place for the Deity. Suchwas the Parthenon or the Tempie of MountZion. When in place of a dwelling-placefor the Deity alone, there was substituteda meeting place for worship, the builderslifted dome, roof, and tower until the verystructure of the building symbolized thepresence of Deity, and a building thatshould lift men's minds and unite theirhearts. From the various university build-ings as they serve their various purposes,men may learn to heal the sick, to main-tain justice, to advance knowledge, to en-joy association with their fellows; fromthe chapel the}' may learn to recognize acommon humanity, to have glimpses of alarger life, suggestions of the informingspirit which we as yet dimly understand.It shall serve to give a meaning and a pur-pose to life; in its sorrows a hope; a guid-ance of divine inspiration for the tasksbefore us."Meeting of Moderx LanguageAssociation at University|PHE Modem Language Association ofA America, meeting at the University ofChicago from December 29 to 31, was wel-comed to the University by President MaxMason in Leon Mandel Assembly Hall,Tuesday, December 29, when PresidentHermann Collitz of the Modem LanguageAssociation delivered the presidential address on "World-Languages." At noon ofthe same day a joint luncheon was given atthe Del Prado Hotel for the members ofthe Association and of the American Association of University Professors.UNIVERSITY NOTES 183Some Members of the Board of TrusteesAbove, left to right: William Scott Bond, '97, Charles E.

His com-mentary on two books of the Old Testa-ment, Amos and Hosea, published in theInternational Criticai Series, he sent to afriend, with this message :"This book represents more hours ofwork than I have spent altogether on theadministrative work of the University ofChicago in fourteen years. In other words,I have given more time to the writing ofthis book than to raising money for theUniversity and its organization. The volume has been received favorably in Eng-land, Scotland, and the Continent. Thereviews in this country have been through-out favorable, but it is a volume so tech-nical in its character that the friends ofof the University do not even know of itsexistence."His ambition to be known as a great scholar was almost pathetically shown inanother part of the letter: "I seem to standin the West for something which I do notreally represent, and the thing which Irepresent is not appreciated or understoodor even known by the great majority ofpeople who are familiar with the work ofthe University. I do not suppose that thissituation can be remedied."Henry Justin Smith, '98, PublicityDirector, Resigns — Returns to News-paper Field.HENRY JUSTIN SMITH, assistantto the president, and Director ofPublic Relations for the University, hasresigned to accept an editorial position onthe Chicago Daily News. Mr. Smith'sresignation became effective Saturday, January 30.Mr. Smith was formerly city editor, andlater news editor of the Daily News. Hecarne to the University in Jury, 1924. Atthat time it was felt that the Universityhad reached a point where there was aneed of interpreting itself to the publicmore fully. It was thought that an experienced newspaper man of sound opinionsand good methods could accomplish thispurpose. Accordingly Mr. Smith was se-cured for the task. In addition to his workin connection with the University itself,he has been in charge of publicity for theDevelopment Fund drive.Aside from his long journalistic career,Mr. Smith is well known for his books,among which "Deadlines" is one of thebest known. As indicated by the title, thisis a book with a newspaper background.Other works of Mr. Smith are "The OtherSide of the Wall," "It's the Way It's Writ-ten," and "Josslyn."Mr. Smith, an alumnus of the University, was graduated in the class of 1898.From 1901 to 1913 he was city editor ofthe Chicago Daily News, and after that,until he took charge of the Universitypublic relations, he was news editor of TheNews. The department of public relationswill be continued, it is stated, but no an-nouncement of a successor to Mr. Smithhas been made.UNIVERSITY NOTES 185New Appointments and PromotionsAPPOINTMENTS to assistant pro-¦ fessorships at the University havebeen made as follows: Dr. Nathaniel Kleit-man in Physiology, Fred B.

In hiscomment later he pointed to a discoveryof a Neanderthal man in a cave overlook-ing the Sea of Galilee as indicating the vastpossibilities in the Nile region.The epigraphic expedition is concernedwith the career of man after he had startedto build great temples and after he haddeveloped a society. This was started ayear ago with the construction of a modemhouse at Luxor where headquarters wereset up. Its purpose is to recover the greatbody of inscriptions on the walls of templesand tombs which are slowly being effacedby sand storms and vandals. The work iscarried on with the aid of cameras and pens,the idea being to photograph the variousinscriptions and then copy them in waterproof ink. It is intended to increase thestaff of this department by an architect,epigraphers and draftsmen. Alumnus Engaged As TrainerFor the MaroonsMR. SIMON BENSON, S. B. '25,was chosen last month as trainer forthe University of Chicago athletic teams,succeeding the late N. B. ("Johnny")Johnson in this important position. Mr.Benson has made some study and had someexperience in surgery and medicine, but heis also very well acquainted with the athletic side of his new job, due to severalcoaching contraets which he has fulfilledfor various nearby high schools and colleges.Added to this is the valuable fact that heis a graduate of the University of Chicago,which further qualifies him for his presentprofession and helps to make him an idealman for the position.Since 1909, when he served as medical-gymnast and surgeon for the Central Y. M.C. A. of Chicago, he has been actively engaged in work similar to his present profession. In 191 1 he went to Milwaukee,where he continued his Y. M. C. A. work,until offered a similar position in the SacredHeart Sanitarium of that city, where healso taught swimming. He then studied atValparaiso, securing his Pharmacy degree,and coaching wrestling, his favorite sport,at the University Y. M. C. A. Mr. Bensonworked in the hospital while there and ob-tained a varied but valuable experience inthis manner.His next position was at the North ShoreHealth Resort where he administered Ther-apy treatments and massaging. He thenturned to teaching, and held successivepositions at Toulon, 111., and Palamyra,Wis., where he was a science instructor, andcoach of football, basketball, and track.An offer from Vincennes University tookhim there to teach chemistry, and coachfootball and basketball.Following this varied experience, the newMaroon Trainer, returned to the University of Chicago to complete the study whichhe had started there in the summer of 1921for his bachelor of science degree, whichdegree he obtained last summer. His recordas a trainer has been very successful andhe was held in high esteem at the institutionswith which he has been connected.NEWS OF THEQUADRANGLESFirst Annual Mirror ProductionAN approaching event that will be of¦LI- special interest to Alumni is the initialproduction of Mirror, the newly organizedwomen's branch of the Dramatic Association.

In therecent undergraduate contest conducted bythe Poetry Society of America, Dillon received first honorable mention in connection with the award of the Witter Bynnerprize. There were seventeen other honorable mentions among the six hundredentries.186STARTI NG with possibly the poorestoutlook in Chicago's basket ball history, Coach Nelson Norgren in six weekshas built up a team whose floor work anddefensive powers are not surpassed by anyteam in the Big Ten. The team was handi-capped by a late start, for Coach Norgrenand several of the players did not return toChicago until early in December, havingbeen on the 24000 mile tour of the Orientwith the baseball team. Added to this,several of the candidates were not eligibleuntil after the dose of the Fall Quarter, sothat they could not be used in the prelim-inary games and so lost much practice-gameexperience. The loss of George Lott,promising forward who became ineligible,was another factor. Lott was a superbshooter and his accurate eye was badlyneeded by the team. The critics noddedtheir heads and said "Chicago won't win agame." But not so with Coach Norgren.Fresh from his trip in Japan, he set about toteach his team a scientific floor game.Only four men were back from last year.They were Captain Harold Alyea, '26,center, William Abbott, '26, forward,Henry R. Sackett, '27, forward, andWalter Marks, '27, guard. The newcandidates include Theodore Zimmerman,'28, forward, William R. Macklind, Jr.,'28, forward, Albert B. McConnell, '28,forward, Charles W. Hoerger, Jr., '28,guard, John McDonough, '28, guard,James T. Farwell, '28, guard.Almost immediately it was apparent thatSackett was vastly improved over last yearand would win a regular berth on the newteam. Zimmerman, captain of the freshmanteam last year, a stocky little player, becamefavored for the other forward position,while Abbott played part time. "Wallie"Marks, the only guard from last season,waged a desperate fight to hold his positionfor running guard, and has been alternatingwith Hoerger, a sophomore of unusual ability. John McDonough, star and captain of the Yankton, S. D., five, which wonsecond place in the National InterscholasticBasketball Tournament two years ago, wonthe position of back guard. Hoerger andMcDonough, as guards, immediatelyshowed that they possessed both size and ex-ceptional defensive ability, and were alsoespecially clever at working the ball towardthe basket and shooting. Never in Chicagobasket ball history has there been such afine pair of sophomore guards, and withMarks as a third, Chicago is now as wellfortified as any team in the country so faras defense is concerned.Coach Norgren early realized that theteam was without good shooters and setabout to build a defense so strong that eventhough Chicago should be unable to makemany baskets, her opponents would havemuch difficulty in running up high scores.In this he has achieved unusual success,fewer scores having been made against Chicago than against any Big Ten team so far.On January 9, the Iowa game provedboth Chicago's strength and weakness, forthe score at the half was 8 to 4 in favor ofthe Maroons. Toward the end of thegame, however, Iowa, through long shots,was able to get ahead, and Chicago wasnosed out from a victory by an 18 to 13score.The following Saturday, Chicago jour-neyed to Madison and defeated CoachMeanwell's highly rated basketeers, by a 17to 15 score. It was a wonderful victory forChicago, and for a green team to defeatthe high scoring Badger team on their ownfloor merits no end of praise to Coach Norgren and his fighting Maroons. The fea-ture of the game was the desperate defenseput up. Not once was the famous Mean-well offense able to get started and Wiscon-sin's only baskets were from long shots madefrom near the middle of the floor.(Plcase turn to page 204)I»7Program of the Art DepartmentBy Protessor Walter Sargent, Chairman of the DepartmentTHE Art Department of the University of Chicago is comparativelyyoung. There has been a Department of Art Education in the School ofEducation and a Department of History ofArt in the School of Arts, Liteiature andScience. In 1924, President Burton de-cided to form a Department of Art. To dothis he united some of the courses in artwhich were being given in the School ofEducation with the courses in the Historyof Art. Professor Sargent was appointedChairman of the newlj orgamzed Art Department, which became one of the unitsof the School of Arts, Literature andScience.The faculty has been increased and nowincludes: Professor Walter Sargent, Associate Professor Emerson H. Swift, Mr.Edward F. Rothschild, and Miss Elisabeth Haseltine who are giving their fulltime to the Department; Assistant Professor William G. Whitford and MissFlorence Williams who are devotingpart time; and Mr. Howard K. Morseand Miss Laura van Pappelendam fromthe Art Institute who give one quartera year to classes at the University.Associate Professor Swift is just beginninghis vacation of nine months. He plans tosail for Europe the first of this month andwill carry on advanced study there. Mr.Rothschild has recently come to the Department from Columbia University. He is giving courses in Christian Art and NorthernRenaissance painting this current quarter.Miss Haseltine, who gives courses in model-ing and drawing and painting, has recentlywon the William M. R. French TravellingScholarship at the Art Institute. She willgo to Europe and remain during the majorpart of the year 1926-27. Miss EmilyWagner, one of our own students, who hasbeen taking advanced work at the Art In-situte, will fili Miss Haseltine's place dur ing her absence. Mr. Morse and Miss vanPappelendam are with the Departmentduring the Summer and Winter quartersrespectively. Miss van Pappelendam is apainter of some note. She spends hersummers painting and sketching in theSouthwest. The graduating class of theUniversity high school has recently pur-chased one of her paintings to be hungpermanently in the high school building.The Art Department is laying out acomprehensive pian in order to meet themany oportunities opening out before it.Its general aims are shaped in order tomeet what seem to be the most outstandingneeds in art in the Middle West today.These aims are as follows :First, to offer to ali students the kind ofacquaintance with the arts which everyoneshould possess and to develop an intelligentenjoyment of the world's artistic inheritance,as a part of general culture.Second, to help students who show specialabilities in art to develop these abilities, andto find the best ways of putting them to use.It has been particularly unfortunate that thosewho pian to take up art professionally haveseldom been able in the past to carry on anylaboratory work in art in connection with acollege course. They have been compelledeither to postpone systematic studio work untilafter graduation or go earlier than is wise toa professional school with its special interests.Third, to build up a graduate departmentfitted to train students to be teachers and leadersin the field of art. There is an urgent demandfor teachers of art in high schools and colleges.The attitude of the majority of people to-wards art is determined in the high school.With a few exceptions, the teachers inhigh schools have, in past, been trained onlyin traditional studio or art school methods.The classes are attended mainly by thosewho are strongly predisposed towards art.Little is done to interpret art for the generalstudent. The Department hopes to offerin co-operation with the School of Education a sequence leading to the Master sPROGRAM OF THE ART DEPARTMENT 189degree, which will train teachers particularly for this field. It calls for courses inwhich historical and technical or laboratory study are closely related. Circum-stances invite us to take a position of definiteleadership in meeting this need for highschool teachers in the Middle West.Each institution which develops a strongArt Department finds that because of itslocation, the personal interest of its facultyand the conditions of its development, ithas opportunities to make certain character-istic contributions. The Department feelsthat, in connection with the general aimsjust enumerated, it can make its particularcontributions by experimenting along theIines of preparation of instructors for theparticular type of art teaching needed inhigh schools, as well as for college positions,the presentation of courses so as to developappreciation as well as historical knowledge,and the organization of a series of laboratorycourses appropriate for college students.In planning the program the Departmenthas kept in mind the fact that art should beregarded not only as a series of productions,of value for historical research, but also andprimarily as an expression in material formof artistic visions and ideals. Without neg-lecting the historical side, it feels that atpresent we can render a service by em-phasizing intelligent enjoyment of art andby regarding it as a thing of the present aswell as of the past — an expression of thelife and thought of today. Courses areplanned, therefore, which deal with theforms of art, in the different periods ofhuman history, as sources of both knowledgeand delight.The Department feels also that in studying art, as in studying any other language,a certain intimate insight and interpretationis gained if the student has some practicein actual use of the language. Thereforecourses have been planned in drawing, mod-eling, color and composition. The principalpurpose of these courses is not to developtechnical proficiency, but to furnish somedirect experience in the use of typical formsof art expression.While these courses are planned to fur nish a practical experience with art whichis of general value to ali students, they willalso be of direct value to those who willlater devote special attention to art as aprofession, because, although non-professional in character, they will give to thesestudents the type of experience which laboratory courses in chemistry and physics, andthe courses in English composition, offer tostudents who will later specialize in thosefields. The students with special creativeaptitudes in art will be helped to discovertheir capabilities, and if later they go toa professional art school they will go withbetter general cultural preparation and anearlier awakened interest than if they hadno acquaintance with laboratory phases ofthe subject before being graduated. Because of this belief in the need of practicalexperience in art during pre-specializationperiods of study, the Department is espe-cially interested in developing types oflaboratory courses in art suitable for collegestudents. It is experimenting and keepingrecords of results in order to contributesomething towards the solution of thisproblem.In carrying out this program, based onthe general aims of the Department, to givethe general student an acquaintance withthe arts, to discover and develop naturaitalent, and to equip the Department to takea place in the leadership of art education,the Department feels that it is beginning tomeet concretely some of the many opportunities for service which it now sees open-ing up before it and which it hopes to meetmore fully as time goes on. The questionof adequate equipment to carry on the activities of the Department offers a seriousdrawback. At present the Department hasno building. It holds its classes in buildingsof other departments. It has its head-quarters in Classics 16, where the facultymembers have their desks, and matters ofcurrent art interest receive attention. Therehas been a steadily growing interest in thework of the Department. Later it hopes tohave the equipment to take care of alithose students who wish to work in thefield of art.C SCHOOL OF EDUCATION ì€ 3University of Chicago DinnerALL Alumni and friends of the University will be welcomed to the University of Chicago Dinner on February 24at 6 P.

We had only a winter course of fourmonths, from October to February. A fewyears latter a spring course was added.Medicine has so changed since I wasgraduated. There were but few specialiststhen. I have followed the modest life of acountry doctor, and have practiced fifty-three years. In my prime of life I had tobe physician, surgeon, obstetrician, oculist,dentist, età, without the conveniences of atrained nurse or a hospital. I had to relyupon my own resources.

Burgess, R. D. McKenzie,and Louis Wirth. (University of Chicago Press) .WHAT does the city suggest? A numberof characteristic phenomena. Think ofthe city and you think of newspapers,Great White Ways, and dance halls, or perhapsof particular areas — a Harlem, a Gold Coast, or 'a Greenwich Village. The city is above ali thenaturai milieu of civilized man — though manyof its manifestations do not remotely suggestit. It is in the city alone that man's full rangeof complexities and oddities of character arebrought out.The great city, where nearly everything ofwhich human nature is capable happens daily,has long been the workshop of the water offiction. In novels, stories, and poems have thusfar appeared the most intimate interpretationsof urban life. But now, with the publicationof this book, appear the findings of a group ofsociologists, who, turning to the fiction writer'schbsen province, study it as a social entity.They bring to the task a technique which in-sures a more searching and disinterested anal-ysis than has previously been attained.These sociologists are pioneers; they arejust now concerned primarily with outlining aprogram for future investigation of humannature and social life under modem urban conditions. They are making a beginning in theapplication to the beliefs and customs of thedenizen of the modem city of the same patientmethods of observation which anthropologistslike Boas and Lowie have applied to the lifeand manners of primitive peoples.The authors do not pretend to have carriedthe investigation much farther than outlininga program; but aheady one fact stands out:The city is not an artificial mechanism. It isa product of nature and particluarly of humannature. Each of its characteristic phenomenacan be explained in terms of human nature,and this book makes a distinct advance in suchexplanation.Professor Park's contribution forms the largerportion of the book. As those who are familiarwith Professor Park's work will have antici-pated, it is he who discusses the metropolitandaily newspaper. Newspapers throughout thecountry quoted his conclusions about the con-temporary daily: "Humanly speaking the presentnewspapers are about as good as they can be.If the newspapers are to be improved, it will come through the education of the people andthe organization of politicai intelligence . . .The real reason that the ordinary newspaperaccounts of the incidents of ordinary life areso sensational is because we know so little ofhuman life that we are not able to interpretthe events of life when we read them. It issafe to say that when anything shocks us, we donot understand it."Professor Park analyzes the Iure of the city;the development of segregated areas; and that"romantic temper" which finds expression inthe dance halls. The chapter to which he givesthe title "Magic, Mentality, and City Life"was suggested by his observation of negromagic during a recent visit to the EnglishIslands of the Carribean. It is a study of"obeah" the magic of the Black man. ProfessorPark finds numerous traces of magic in Westerncivilization, but concludes that the reason"modera man is a more rational animai thanmore primitive ancestor is because he lives ina city."Professor McKenzie's contribution is evidenceof the fact that the conceptions and methods ofstudy of plant and animai ecology may profit-ably be applied to the analysis and descriptionof certain aspects of human society. He analyzes the spadai and temporal relations of human beings as affected by the selective, distributive, and accomodative forces of environment.The outstanding fact about the modem cityis its rapid growth. Professor Burgess treatsthis aspect of the subject, going into those lessknown processes of metabolism and mobilitywhich are closely related to growth. Hismethod is that which the department of sociology of the University of Chicago employs inits study of the subject: that is, to study urbanexpansion in terms of extension, succession, andconcentration; to determine how expansion dis-turbs metabolism, and finally to define mobilityand to use it as literally the "pulse of thecommunity."Included in the book is a valuable and ex-tensive bibliography of the urban communityby Louis Wirth. It is an index to those aspectsof the city which promise most in results fromresearch.This book is the searching study of the physi-cal organization, the occupations, and the cul-tures of the city for which those who have rec-ognized in the great city the most interestingof laboratories for the study of man's nature,have been waiting.193OFFICERS OF THE UNIVERSITY OFCHICAGO ALUMNI CLUBSAmes, Ia.

The Maroonssimply outclassed the Illini, out-fightingthem at every stage of the game. Thestellar defense which the Maroons havedisplayed ali season, reached superb heightsand only the utter inability of Norgren'smen to shoot kept the score down.On Wednesday, January 27, ChicagoCHICAGO AND NATIONAL DEFENSE 205met Minnesota at Minneapolis. The teamwas again unable to find the basket. Although Norgren's men made a desperaterally near the end of the game, Minnesotawas able to win, 26 to 24.On Saturday, January 30, Ohio Statewas met at Bartlett Gymnasium with prac-tically the same team as last year when theywon the championship. The Buckeyes werea top-heavy favorite. In one of the greatestgames which has been played in recentyears, Chicago was able to nose them out, 2 1to 20. The powerful Ohio scoring machine,lead by Cunningham, was completelystopped by the superior guarding of theChicago team. Chicago simply out foughtthe giant Ohio forwards, guarding themwith a tenacity which Ohio could not break.Chicago and National Defense(Continued from page 167)Because of the unproductiveness in thepast of the locai unit, the War Departmenthas seriously considered its withdrawal.Should this take place it would be an indi-cation that the government did not believethat the University of Chicago was doingits full duty toward the country in carryingout the declared national policy for defensein this respect.The Department of Military Science andTactics differs from other departments inthe purely patriotic nature of its work.This fact properly borne in mind, shouldcreate an attitude of Constant helpfulnessin the Quadrangles toward this form ofnational service. The needs of the Military Department should not be neglectedas they are now in the present vast develop-ment program of the University. The department should be more suitably housed.Great encouragement should be offeredparticipation in its work to undergraduatestudents. Assistance in obtaining a uniformto replace the present war time issue, shouldbe given.In these and many other respects the department must look for help from outsideitself. A careful consideration of them anda definite program would make the department a greater credit to the University inthe eyes of its government,, the students andthe faculty.
