On that occasion, justtwenty-seven years ago, the followingRooseveltian words were spoken: "Fromthe doors of this building are to come themen who at the bar and on the bench con-strue, and in construing make, the laws ofthis country; the men who must teach bytheir actions to ali our people that this is infact essentially a government of orderlyliberty under the law."To thousands who were unable to attendthe First Annual Alumni Assembly theMagazine brings the address of PresidentHutchins. This is a detailed statement ofaccomplishment and plans. It is as frankas it is interesting, as practical as it is in-spiring.The University is on the air. Thirtythousand people are tuning in to hear PercyBoynton, or T. V. Smith, or Merle Coul-ter, or Sani Nerlove, or Einar Joranson.Alien Miller tells of the work of the Radio Department and invites ali alumni to takepost graduate work through the ether. Itis practically painless.To the medicai profession James BryanHerrick needs no introduction. A graduate of Rush, an active member of its facultyfor thirty years, then Chairman of the Department of Medicine at the University,he is one of the outstanding members of hisprofession. He is an inspiring teacher, afamed consultant, an author of distinctionand a great and beloved physician.Fritz Crisler is about to leave Chicago.As an undergraduate he made athletic his-tory. As a coach he continued to make his-tory. He has gained the friendship, theadmiration and the respect of ali who knowhim. His departure from Chicago is re-gretted by every alumnus who has followedhis work on Stagg Field, and this regret isbut partially assuaged by the pride that isfelt in his appointment as Director of Ath-letics at Minnesota.

They haveinspected buildings and seen departments inaction ; they have met old f riends and eatenheartily of reunion dinners. Now, at theAssembly, they were to learn from thePresident of the University the meaning ofali those phenomena observed at Reuniontime: how the departments and the schoolsare co-operating ; what the new dormitorieswill do for undergraduate education, andwhat will stili need to be done; what departments are strong, which ones are weak,and why.Fellowship and good feeling were not driven away by cold analysis. The University Concert Band played and sang astaccato "Wave the Flag" as the crowdentered. Art Cody, last of the old-timecheerleaders, sat at the speakers' table. Mr.and Mrs. Stagg carne in, and the crowdapplauded. But loyalty was taken forgranted. The business at hand was to hearthe news of the University.The Rev. Charles W. Gilkey, Dean ofthe University Chapel, pronounced the invo-cation. Walter L. Hudson, Chairman ofthe Alumni Council, and Chairman of theAssembly, called the meeting to order andintroduced the toastmaster, Dean GordonJennings Laing of the Graduate Schools ofArts and Literature. Classically joshingthe program committee, the speakers, andthe audience, Dean Laing presented, in turn,Miss Mary E. Courtenay and Donald S.Trumbull, who welcomèd the President onbehalf of the alumnae and the alumni.Finally, the jovial Dean rolled off thisHoratian line of praise :Fortisj et in se ipso totus, teres atquerotundusand President Robert Maynard Hutchinsstood before the alumni.233The President SpeaksAddress of Robert Maynard Hutchins at theFirst Annual Alumni Assembly^ February 26> 1930THIS is the first Alumni Assembly —and one cannot fail to be impressedby your numbers, importance, andbeauty. A Harvard man told me the otherday that in ali great civic enterprises in thiscity he was distressed to find that four Chi-caga graduates could be suggested for anyresponsible post to one from any other university. And this is the more impressive inview of your youth. The oldest graduateof the colleges can hardly be more than fìfty-five, and the ladies are of course muchyounger. Anyone who wished to knowwhat contribution the University had madeto this community could discover it mostrapidly by a glance around this room. Andyou are as important to the University as tothe city. We wish to make you more so, and* to that end, to teli you what the Universityis doing and what it hopes to do. Lux etveritas is a good slogan, but you have toknow the veritas before you can shed the lux.Therefore, I regret to teli you the inspiringand diverting part of the evening has cometó an end. You will now receive nothingbut information and that in that bald unvar-nished form in which it may be presented tointelligent people whose interest does nothave to be stimulated by any of those tricks,artifices, devices, and vaudeville sketchesthat professional after-dinner speakers likeDean Laing habitually employ to keeptheir audiences awake. I know nothingso descriptive of what you are about to hearas that historic phrase from Alice in Won-derland, " Alieni,' said the mouse with animportant air, 'are you ali ready? This isthe driest thing I know'."And if we begin with the colleges wefind that from some ppints of view thesituation, though perhaps dry, is otherwiseeminently satisfactory. We had 1300 appli-cations for the 750 places in the Freshmanclass. Although this may lead some of youto be skeptical of the colleges on the groundthat you could not now get into them, I am not prepared to say that even this factshould diminish our satisfaction. It nowappears that the University is regarded asa place where a first-class undergraduateeducation may be obtained. We have everyconfidence that this is so and that we canmake it more so. If we cannot select fromthe large number of those applying finerstudents than any we have had, it will bebecause our methods of admission are notequal to our opportunity. It must be saidthat we are not receiving applications fromas representative a group as we should like.The national scope of the colleges is notwhat it might be. I attribute this first tothe lack of scholarship funds, and second tothe fact that a distinctive undergraduateprogramme is not yet worked out. A private institution surrounded by state uni-versities must have adequate scholarshipsand must give an education that the publicinstitutions are not prepared to give. Ourgraduate work has attracted students fromali parts of the world even though our fel-lowships have been woefully small. Thisis because it has been apparent for yearsthat if a man wished to work under thebest people in certain fields he had to cometo Chicago to do it. We must have undergraduate work of the same unique characterif we would secure the same results. Buteven then we should have means of reliev-ing our students of the necessity of workingali day to earn a living, or having broughtthem here to secure an education, we defeattheir object by depriving them of any chanceto get one. You can hardly avail yourselfof ali the educational advantages of theQuadrangles if you are working eight hoursa day to keep alive. Our scholarships areinadequate by any standard you care tomention. Seven of the thirty men awardedtwo year honor scholarships were forced todecline them because they paid only thetuition charge. In days when it costs atleast a $1,000 a year to live at the Univer-234THE FIRST ANNUAL ALUMNI ASSEMBLY 235sity it is clear that if $300 a year is thelargest scholarship, we are selecting ourstudents on fìnancial grounds, or if theyinsist on coming without money, are con-demning them to four years of hard laborwhich deprives them of many of the fìnerexperiences of a university career. Further-more, the absence of re-spectable scholarship fundsprevents the Universityfrom charging those ableto pay a tuition fee whichwould go farther towardmaintaining the salarybudget. The Universityderives 40% of its revenuefrom tuition fees. Thisamount could be greatlyincreased if we were in aposition to give sufficientassistance to self-support-ing students. Neverthe-less, even with this handicap, we are securing astudent body of which weare proud, and of whichyou may be proud as well.And we seem to be onthe verge of being able todo for them things thatwe were never able to dofor you. The plans forthe men's dormitories havebeen approved. The ar-chitect is working on thewomen's group. TheBoard of Trustees hasvoted to build the FieldHouse even though no ad-ditional funds are securedfor it. We are makingprogress in working outthe details of the art development madepossible by Max Epstein's generosity, al-though a site for the building has not yetbeen definitely selected. I think it shouldbe possible also in the near future to givethe undergraduates the work in music theyhave so long desired and which was recom-mended by a faculty committee in 1924.What any college needs is first to de- vise methods of selecting students who canand will profit by an education, and secondto organize itself so that they can get one.On the first of these problems, as we haveseen, we are doing rather well. On thesecond we can do a good deal better. Manypeople go to colleges throughout the countryPresident Hutchinswith a real and eveji remarkable desire toget educated. In many colleges that desire is frustrated by the faculty and by thepeculiarities of American collegiate organi-zation. In our own colleges the faculty,.good as it is, can be and is being greatlyimproved. Such àppointments as that ofThornton Wilder, who will deal exclusivelywith undergraduate students ; such arrange-ments as that in English where full-time236 THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINEinstructors will replace part-time assistantsnext year, and such a spirit as is manifestedby ali the heads of departments are boundto lead to an elevation in the tone of undergraduate work and to the development ofimportant experiments in it.And I think you will agree from havinghad one that experimentation is what undergraduate education requires. I should likein general to see our undergraduate experi-ment take a form something like this. Ishould like, to see on the south side of theMidway what might be called the CollegiateDevelopment. Here would be the newdormitories, and others if we can securethem. An educational building containingclassrooms and library should rise in thecenter of the collegiate group. Every effortwould be made to give the students a co-herent social and intellectual life. The experiments of this division should center onwhat we have to cali for lack of a betterterm orientation: the business of gettinga student started on his education. It isclear that ali our students will not come tous with the same degree of preparation orthe same abilitiés. In short they will notrequire the same amount of orientation.Xherefore we should regard the stayof anystudent in the collegiate division as depend-ent on the rapidity of his own adjustment,his own reaction to the University's oppor-tunities, and his own qualifications for ad-vanced work. Normally an individuaimight spend two years in the collegiate division. On the other hand, he might spendone or three. The time spent there shouldbe determined not by any artificial standard, but by his own capacities.At the conclusion of this period, howeverlong or short, he should enter upon what Icali again in clumsy language a university asdistinguished from a collegiate programme.Here his object should no longer be totake a general survey of the world, but tobegin the study of some division of it whichis of particular interest to him and whichhe is qualified to deal with. But this programme should be flexible too. He shouldgo as fast as his abilitiés permit. He shouldhave that attention that his interest andintelligence may justify. In subjects in which he chooses to specialize he shouldhave a minimum of instruction and shouldput forth a maximum of independent effort.In those which he merely wishes to knowabout he should be lectured to en masse bythe best lecturers to be round. His qualifications for a Chicago degree should be determined not by the number of majors hehas succeeded in accumulating but by hismastery of his chosen field and his generalcultivation.How far along are we on such a programme? Not very far. We have thenew dormitories on the south side of theMidway, but no educational facilities inconnection with them. We probably havemore undergraduates taking graduatecourses than any other university. Butthese figures are ambiguous. They maymean that our undergraduates are doinga great deal of advanced, independent work,or they may mean that too many of ourgraduate courses are really not of a graduate character. We are improving the staff.We must improve it further. Our calcula-tions indicate that we can put this programme through without additions to thefaculty. We should, however, have to havelarge sums available to pay salaries thatwould attract good men interested in undergraduate developments. The faculty is theimportant thing. With a faculty engagedin undergraduate work that is interested inexperiments in it, an undergraduate program can be put into effect here that willgive the University the same leadership inthat field that it has had in research andscientific investigation.Of course in any intelligent scheme of auniversity it is impossible to separate graduate and undergraduate work. This is trueof the student, for as we have seen, manyundergraduates are now taking graduatecourses. It is true too of the faculty. Al-though I conceive of the faculty of the so-called collegiate development I have de-scribed as something rather special, withthe obligation to study education ratherthan to carry on research in the humanitiesor the sciences, I do not think of that faculty as cut off from the University. And thefaculty of the University DevelopmentTHE FIRST ANNUAL ALUMNI ASSEMBLYwould be a unit, even though many of itsstudents would be undergraduates. We cannot go on much longer without recognizingthe fact that the present curriculum lookingtoward the Ph.D. does not adequately meetthe needs of any of the students exposed toit. Those students intend to be collegeteachers, or they intend to be universityor industriai research workers. We nowgive them ali the same education, and asa result fail to perform our whole duty toeither group. Those who pian to spendtheir lives as college teachers learn only byosmosis of the problems college teachersconfront. Those who pian to be independent research workers do not receive theindividuai attention or the training in research that they should have because theyare massed with a group of graduate students who do not pian to be research workers. Now I am perfectly willing to admitthat ali prospective teachers should receiveresearch training. It should be possible bythe adoption of a more flexible curriculumproviding for a less wasteful use of their timeto give them everything they get today, andmore. That more should be education inthe chief problems of undergraduate teach-ing. The departments must feel theirresponsibility to givt their students thiseducation. And this means that they mustbe interested in the collegiate developmentat this university and must direct the ex-perimentation that will go on there. Inthis way will graduate and undergraduatework be brought together for the advantageof both. The Department of Education re-ceived in November a gift of a million anda half which will be used for a graduatebuilding and for studies in higher education. The appointments on this grant willbe made with a view to participation by theDepartment in a programme of educatingcollege teachers and educating college students. The University Senate has author-ized a committee to present a detailed studyof the whole matter. I am sure that weshall be able to work out a scheme that willplace the education of college teachers on anentirely different piane and improve the education of research workers.The research work of the University proceeds in accordance with its brillianttraditions. The Social Science group is sogood that we find it impossible to keep themat home. Whenever anybody has an important job in the social field he has to turnto Chicago for guidance. President Hooverhas put Mr. Ogburn at the head of hiscommission on Social Change. Mr. Le-land is chairman of the technical branch ofMr. Strawn's committee on the rescue ofChicago. Mr. Douglas has had to be givena quarter's leave to organize the Swarthmorestudy of unemployment. Mr. Merriamwill have to go abroad in Aprii to advisethe Rockefeller Foundation as to its present and future European work. Mr. Vinergoes to Geneva in the spring for the Insti-tute of International Relations. Recogni-tion has come to the History department inanother and less inconvenient form in theaward by the American Historical Societyof ali the first prizes for outstanding contri-butions to history to Ph.D.'s of the Department. The humanities group is carrying onunder a grant from the General EducationBoard the most intelligent and well-organ-ized attack on the cultural problems pre-sented by the various disciplines that is go-ing on in this country. The biological staffis operating under a similar though smallergrant from the Rockefeller Foundation. Itsprincipal handicaps now are the terrificquarters in which the departments ofHygiene and Bacteriology and Anatomymust do their work. In Hygiene and Bacteriology the department is disintegratingbefore our eyes because it is now almost impossible to prosecute scientific investigationsin the accommodations at their disposai.One man has left the department this year.We cannot hope to replace him without anew building. In the physical sciences theresearch staff is more than upholding itsreputation. The new George HerbertJones Laboratory of Chemistry and theMathematics building given by BernardEckhart will give these departments equip-ment as fine as their work. The outstanding event in their field this year was theaward of the annual prize of the Association for the Advancement of Science toProfessor Dempster for his work on the238 THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINEhydrogen atom. Of the research of theUniversity as a whole it may be said that itis exhibiting two tendencies, the first towardco-operation and the second toward investi-gation of Chicago and the Chicago area.The new social science building is a symbolof both tendencies. We are convinced thatthese tendencies will continue and will re-sult in economy to the University, serviceto the city, and stimulation to our faculty.Much the same may be said of the professional schools. Although three of themare new and two in process of reorganizationthey are co-operating in the research of theUniversity as a whole, working on Chicagoproblems and conducting experiments in professional education ~as well. The primarybusiness of the Rush Medicai College is totry to work out the best methods of professional training. The primary businessof the Medicai School on the South Sideis to conduct medicai research. Both willproduce doctors, but perhaps by differentroutes. In view of the state of medicai edu-tation and medicai research there is enoughfor each to do. The Bobs Roberts Hospitalfor Children will be open May I ; theLying-in Hospital is going up; the Ortho-pedics Hospital has just been started.When these units are complete the majordivisions of Medicine and Surgery, exceptPsychiatry, will be taken care of on theSouth Side. When these hospitals are under way we shall have 350 nurses workingin them whom we are obliged to houseunder our contracts with the afhliated organ-izations. A nurses' home is one of the University's most pressing needs; for we mustpay for rent for the nurses from our generalfunds unless we can find the money to putup a building for them. The Law Schooland the School of Commerce and Adminis-tration are going through a reconstructionperiod that results in large part from with-drawals from their faculties. The deathof Dean Hall and Professor Mechem andthe fact that Mr. Woodward became legallydead, I am happy to say, in order to run theUniversity, left the Law School in a posi-tion where it had to begin ali over againto build up its faculty. This process isnow going on under the vigorous leader ship of Dean Bigelow. At the same timethe school is beginning research enterpriseswith the social science people and is playingan important role in the study of crime andpolice in Chicago. Commerce and Adminis-tration too is conducting a vast amount ofinvestigation for Chicago business, rangingfrom the Institute of American MeatPackers to the study of the Chicago RailwayTerminal. The reorganization of its curriculum and staff is proceeding slowly witha view to giving it a status and functionindependent of the Department of Econom-ics, with which its affairs have been en-tangled for many years. A dose workingrelation between the department and theschool will of course always be maintainedbut we do not think it wise to continue anarrangement under which it was almostimpossible to teli the two institutions apart.When Commerce and Administration getsa new building, as I hope it soon may, therest of its present difficulties will disappear.And I must confess that I do not see anydifEculties at the University that cannot becured by the same remedy, namely money.This is rather remarkable, too, for I haveheard of universities where brains were morevitally necessary than cash. But we havethe brains at the University of Chicago;by which I do not mean that the administration has them, but that the faculty has.Brains are the scarcest commodity in anymarket, and our most serious problem nowis keeping the brains we have in the face ofunprecedented competition. The pace setby President Harper was a grand thing forthe other universities of the country. Itenabled them to secure from their friendsand legislatures money with which to raidthe faculty of the University of Chicago.It is now a little early in the open season forprofessors but already fourteen of our mostdistinguished men have received offers else-where at salaries substantially higher thanwe were paying them. So far we havebeen able to keep them ali by gamblingthat we can find money to raise their salariesby a grand total of $35,000. In the sameway I beg to assure you that we do not buildbuildings because we love architecture ; webuild them because we have to provide theTHE FIRST ANNUAL ALUMNI ASSEMBLY 239faculty with the means of work as wellas the means of life. The great efforts ofniy predecessors in securing our presentplant must go on until in ali departmentsft will be possible for the faculty to con-duct their programme of teaching and research without feeling at every step thelimitations of their equipment.The first great need of the University,then, is salaries and for such buildings asthe field house and the nurses' home as willbe a drain on the salary budget unless theycan be otherwise secured. The second isa comparatively small amount for buildingsand facilities that are indispensable, for thesame reason that better salaries are indispensable. Namely, to keep good men andbring in others to join them. In order toget these things in the past the Universityhas assumed conditional obligations to theamount of $3,834,000 which must be metwithin the next two or three years. It isclear, therefore, that we must in the nearfuture add substantially to our revenue orlose our position in the country. We havedone two things to meet this situation : first,we have raised the tuition charge in thegraduate and professional schools so as toproduce an estimated increase in our incomeof $220,000. Second, we have institutedunder a grant from the General EducationBoard a comprehensive survey of the University which will take two years and whichwill give us at the end of that time thebasis for considerable economies in the University's operation. We are, in short, do-ing ali we can to help ourselves.The Alumni can help us through the re-cently established Alumni Fund. The greatadvantage of this fund is that it is unre-stricted and can be used to meet the Univer sity's most pressing emergency. The dif-ficulty that we confront in dealing withindividuai and corporations is that in themain they are more interested in seeingdone at the University things that theywant to see done than they are in helpingthe University generally. We cannot com-plain at this. It is after ali their money.And the things they want to do are aliworth doing. The graduates, however,are in a different position. They know theUniversity. They are interested in it, itsstanding and its development. They maytherefore be expected to give to it to meetits needs as it sees them. The Universitysees its greatest need now as better salaries.Money contributed to the Fund will therefore be devoted to that purpose, a purposewhich ali of you must applaud. And Iwish to record here the University's grati-tude to the fìve initiators of the Fund andto Mr. Brent Vaughan, who has in hiscustomary public-spirited fashion taken overits management. Nothing that has hap-pened in the University's past is so propheticof its future as this spontaneous effort ofthese graduates in its behalf.But I would not have you think that Iimagine for a moment that the greatness ofa university can be bought with money. Itis through the men and women who are itsteachers, its students, and its graduates thata university endures. I welcome this occa-sion because now for the first time thealumni as a whole have been incorporatedinto that group. And I look forward withpride and anticipation to thirty-five similaroccasions on which I may recount perhapsin less financial terms the hopes and accom-plishments of the great University of whichyou are a part.Walter L.

Courtenay, '09Worthy representative of the loyal alumnaeBroadcasting at the UniversityBy Allen Miller '26AT NINE in the morning on Januarythe third, 1927, in a classroom inL Harper Library, a light flashed be-side a microphone. The students settledin their seats ; ali conversation stopped, andthe room became quiet in anticipation of thebeginning of the broadcast. For the firsttime in the history of education a regularclassroom course was to be made availableto students beyond the walls o£ the University. Professor Percy H. Boynton andsixteen other professors of the Universitycollaborated in présenting a course inAmerican Life simultaneously to the students regularly reg-istered and a muchlarger group listen-ing in throughoutthe Middle West.Since this first venture nine othercourses have beenput on the air in thisfashion includingtwo courses inAmerican Literatureby Professor Boynton, two courses in Christian History by Professor Shirley J. Case,a course on American Politicai Theory byProfessor Merriam, on Human Relationsin Industry by Professor Mullenbach, onTheories of Personality by Professor A. G.Bills, on Elementary Ethics by ProfessorT. V. Smith, and on the Renaissance byProfessor Einar Joranson.Naturally we have been interested inknowing how far these broadcasts havereached. It is very difficult to estimatewith any degree of accuracy the number ofpeople who listen in on station programs andit is, of course, stili more difHcult to estimatethe consistency with which they followlectures of this sort. Judging by the re-sponses received, however, approximatelytwo thousand people must have listened inon the first course and something like thirtythousand are probably tuning in on thecourse that we are now broadcasting, Pro fessor Boynton's American Literature since1890. This last figure, it should be noted,is based upon the number of responses whichhave already been received and probablydoes not indicate the total number of per-sons who will listen in at one time or anotherduring the quarter.Though they are one of the most inter-esting features of our radio program, classroom lectures are not the only educationalmaterial broadcast by the University. Atthe present time two language courses arebeing presented from the studio. A majority of the evening lectures are of an educational nature deal-ing with contempo-r a r y problems inpolitics, modem re-searches in scienceand the like. AConstant effort ismade to presentthroughout the yeara diversified program of lecturestouching on practi-cally every phase of the University's interest.One of the big features of the radio program is the Sunday morning Chapel serv-ices. For about nine months the Chapelwas not on the air due to a reallotmentof time by the Federai Radio Commission.It is interesting to note that on the firstthree or four Sunday mornings after thebroadcast was discontinued the Universitytelephone operators received a surprisingnumber of inquiries as to why the University station was silent. This is a point de-serving more than passing notice because ithas demonstrated very impressively theinterest which is taken in our Chapel broadcast.Besides educational and religious broadcasting and the broadcasting of isolatedevents, the University station presents nu-merous features drawn from or reflectingcampus life. Thus, Settlement Night,Mirror, Blackfriars, the choir, the Forge,The University , through its repre-sentativeSj is on the air each day ofthe week. A detailed program giv-ing the station, the speaker, the topicand the hour for broadcasting, will bemailed each month to any alumnusupon request. Address the RadioSecretary, University of Chicago.242BROADCASTING AT THE UNIVERSITY 243and various sports events are featured because altogether they make up a wellrounded view of student activities. Organrecitals are broadcast every Sunday morning from the University Chapel immediatelypreceding the religious services.From the beginning radio on our campushas been presented through the ChicagoDaily News station, WMAQ. Radio wasinaugurated during the Development Cam-paign of 1924, while Dr. Burton was president. At that time the director of publicityfor the University was Mr. Henry JustinSmith, loaned to us on a year's leave of ab-sence from the Chicago Daily News. Itwas Mr. Smith's idea that the Universitymight secure very desirable publicity bybroadcasting programs and sports eventsfrom the campus. The Daily News station,WMAQ, has presented our material fromthe beginning and has given us our timefree of charge, with the exception of theSunday morning Chapel hour. We main-tain our own equipment for our studio inMitchell Tower and The Daily News oper-ates some thirty-five miles of wire betweenthe studio and The Daily News station.Radio on the campus is under the control ofa committee jointly representing the University and The Daily News. The committee consists of the following membersrepresenting the University: Gordon J.Laing, chairman, dean of the GraduateSchools of Arts and Literature; HenryGordon Gale, dean of the Ogden GraduateSchool of Science; B. C. H. Harvey, deanof the Medicai School; William S. Gray,dean of the School of Education; ShailerMathews, dean of the Divinity School ; Professor Percy H. Boynton, department ofEnglish; Professor Charles E. Merriam,head of the department of Politicai Science ;Professor H. A. Millis, head of the department of Economics; Professor Arthur P.Scott, department of History; Professor H.H. Newman, department of Zoology; Professor T. V. Smith, department of Philoso-phy ; Mr. Rowland Haynes, Secretary of theUniversity; Mr. Frank H. O'Hara, director of student activities; Mr. H. F. Mal-lory, head of the Correspondence Studydepartment, and Mr. Alien Miller the secretary of the radio committee. In addi-tion there is Miss Judith Waller, directorof station WMAQ, representing the Chicago Daily News.A word of appreciation should be spokenregarding the very friendly and generousway in which the Chicago Daily News andstation WMAQ have co-operated with theUniversity. With the exception of the firstChapel broadcasting and the broadcastingof certain sports events, summer lectures,and choir concerts handled by WLS, ali ofour radio programs have been put on theair over WMAQ. The most cordial rela-tionship has existed ali the way along between ourselves and this station.It will be noted that although a desirefor high grade publicity has played a con-siderable part in influencing the Universityto undertake radio, the primary motive hasbeen a desire to extend the educational service performed by the University. PresidentHarper always emphasized the idea that theUniversity owed a broad duty to the community in which it was located, and University College, the Correspondence School,and various lecture series offered either indown-town halls, or in community centers,grew out of this policy. The radio gives usan opportunity for promoting this widercontact with the great social groups aroundthe University. A direct relationship withthe University is made possible through thebroadcasting of programs and lectures forgreat numbers of people who might other-wise feel very remote from the world andwork of the University.It is a fact not generally recognized thatfifteen per cent of ali broadcasting in theUnited States is educational in nature, andit will probably come as a surprise to manypeople that fifty-one universities and collegesin this country own and operate radio sta-tions in which educational broadcasting isemphasized. There is no question about thelively interest shown ali over the UnitedStates in broadcasting of educational programs. A recent investigation by the committee of prominent educators and membersof the radio industry appointed by Secretaryof the Interior Ray Lyman Wilbur, dis-closes the genuine concern felt by those244 THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINEinterested both in education and in radio,and a general acceptance of the value ofsuch broadcasting. Radio is just beginningto demonstrate the possibilities which itoffers beyond the field of mere entertainment. It is in this new and very attractiveprovince of radio that we in the Universityare chiefly interested. The possibility ofexpanding our programs to fili many morehours during the week than they now filiand the opportunity for developing lesscasuflj. relationships with many who listenin more or less regularly are considerations engaging the attention of the radio committee at the present time.Not least among the advantages of theradio is the opportunity it affords the University to keep in touch with its own alumni.It is to be hoped that the alumni will lookon the University station as a part of theUniversity with which they have every rightto concern themselves. The radio committee will welcome any suggestions or criti-cisms of the program material presentedover the air, and will warmly appreciatesuch signs of interest.The Radio Committee in Executive SessionWill welcome suggestions — appreciate signs of interestStanding, left to right: Dean B.

Herrick, M.D., '%%Professor Emeritus of Medicine, Rush Medicai CollegeTHE OLD type of family doctor isgradually disappearing with but fewyoung physicians willing to take hisplace. There is a dearth of general practi-tioners especially in rural communities.Medicai practitioners — not the specialists —are having a hard time of it. In case ofillness the community is often hard pressedto get competent help or in fact any help.Why is this? Can anything be done toalleviate the condition ?One of the reasons for this state of affairsis that the mass of medicai knowledge hasbecome so enormous and the application ofthis knowledge so dependent on technicalskill and extensive experience that it is im-possible for any one doctor to be able toknow ali and to do ali as was the case fiftyyears ago. The people having lost confi-dence in the all-knowledge of their doctor,themselves knowing more of disease thanever before, — at least thinking that theyknow more, — are prone to make their owntentative diagnoses and to go to specialistsof their own choosing. These specialistshave increased rapidly in number and arereadily available. The telegraph, telephony interurban busses and electric lines,automobiles, good roads make it easy to takethe patient to the urban expert or to thehospital where specialists are grouped withali the laboratory and instrumentai equip-ment needed for the study and treatmentof disease. The family doctor, therefore, isoverlooked. He is called upon only in caseof emergency or of mild or hopeless disease.Moreover, he is underpaid. And he is los-ing caste. Formerly one of the most highlyrespected and influential men in the community he now finds that the prestige, thesense of leadership, the personal affectionthat were formerly his and that were a partof his recompense for a life of sacrifice andservice are gradually slipping away. Nowonder young doctors shun the small community and the life of the general practi-tioner. Several studies of the subject have beenmade and some remedies suggested. Noneis satisfactory. One may be quite sure thecondition is not to be removed by resolutionsof legislative bodies or of medicai organiza-tions. Nor will physicians in any largenumber take up this type of practice en-tirely from a sense of duty. Unless it canbe made economically profitable, sociallydignified and respectable and withal con-taining a large element of pleasure and hap-piness, there will continue to be a scarcityof high grade practitioners in our smallercommunities or for that matter even in ourcities. The subject is a complicated one.The solution is not simple. It will comelargely by a process of evolution which process may be rapid or slow. Already thereis developing a fine type of family and community medicai adviser. He diagnosesmost ailments, treats those he feels competent to handle. In obscure and diffìcultcases he directs how and where expert helpis to be obtained.In this brief paper, which will go, I amtold, to graduates of Rush, many of whommay be practicing as family doctors, I wishto suggest a way to remove some of thedifficulties of this troublesome or even seri-ous situation. This pian which I have discusseci before in other articles will not byany means solve the whole problem but itmay help a little. One might cali it post-graduate majoring in medicine.I am using the word majoring in thesense in which it is used in our literaryschools. Most of the larger universitieswhile allowing much election of studies inthe last two years, impose certain conditions.A student may not elect a multitude ofcourses unrelated and elementary. He isnot permitted to spread himself out toothin. He must choose the greater part ofhis work in one or two lines, must stressthis work, must take courses of advancedcharacter and continue some of these courses245246 THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINEthroughout the last two years. These arethe familiar major and minor courses.They are based on sound pedagogie prin-ciples. The same principle should be appliedto undergraduate instruction in medicine.Fundamentals or essentials should betaught, of course. But the college cannotafford by teaching a little of many thingsto make a man only mediocre. The shorten-ing of the medicai course with the teachingof essentials only, will not, as has beenclaimed by some, cause doctors thus trainedto go to the country any more than now. Ifthey do go, the situation will- not be re-lieved. What the rural communities needis not alone more doctors but better doctors.Undeterred by the cry that the collegeis training specialists, a cry raised by thoseto whom the general practitioner is a fetish,students in their undergraduate days shouldbe allowed, or even compelled, to pursuethe study of some one or two subjects farbeyond what is commonly outlined in ourordinary medicai college curriculum.If in the medicai college the studentmajors in some subject, such as pediatrics,physiology, pathology, gastro-intestinal dis-eases or urology, he will have learned thelesson of thoroughness. He will know howto consult literature and not alone text-books. He will be able to judge of currentmedicai literature and will not be too proneto believe in the truth of a statement justbecause it is printed. He will learn of thefallibility of human judgment, the un-reliability of experience, the untrustworthi-ness of some so-called methods of precision.In other words, he will have learned howto think and do for himself. He will havewisdom and will know where to go formore knowledge. He will know when tocali for help and will be a good judge ofwhere to go to get it.This principle of majoring should becarried over into the life of practice. Un-less this is done the practitioner growsstale. His work lacks interest. He is aman with no particular aim, diffuse andforceless. He loses self-respect. Unless hefeels the conscious urge that drives himtoward the mastery of something new, hewill soon become a negligible quantity, a drudge, with no pleasure in his work, nosense of progress or consciousness of superi-ority.There is another reason why this principle of majoring in undergraduate studyand later in practice is desirable. A doctorwith only diffuse general training is danger-ous because he does not know his ownlimitations nor the limitations and risks ofvarious forms of treatment. With morethorough knowledge he would lack thatcocksure frame of mind that leads him toundertake the major operation in whichhe is a tyro. He would hesitate to handlethe powerful medicinal agent that he sopoorly understands. He who knows nonmulta sed multum, as Pliny wrote, is usu-ally the safer man. This motto, by theway, was quoted with approvai by thatwise pedagogue, Roger Ascham. It wasthe motto of a learned medicai man of latertimes, Waldeyer.Let the physician who has just beengraduated choose some subject for intensivestudy. It may suggest itself to him becauseof his present interest in it, or because it isa live topic with new knowledge almostdaily announced from laboratory and hospital. It may be some disease or group ofdiseases that he frequently comes in contact with in his particular neighborhood.Perhaps it is diseases of the blood, fractures,some occupational conditions, or children'sdiseases. Suppose it is the blood. He setsup a little laboratory. He stains andcounts the blood corpuscles in ali diseaseswhere such study can help. He soonestablishes a reputation as a technical expert in this line. The nature of some per-plexing case is solved by his help. Hislaboratory grows. The chemistry andbacteriology of the blood cannot be omitted.He has to employ a technician with specialtraining. He is busy with demands frompatients and from friendly colleagues whorecognize his superiority in this line. Hebuys books and reads special journals. Hetakes part in the discussions of the medicaisociety. He studies his cases more criti-cally. He takes a short course at a summerschool and then a longer one. So he con-tinues to develop. He is stili a generalMAJORING IN MEDICINE 247practitioner. He does not claim to be anexpert. He refuses to admit that he is aspecialist. Yet he knows more than any-one else for miles around about this subjectof the blood both in its laboratory andclinical aspects. There is Joy in such practice. There is financial remuneration. Because he knows much of blood conditionshe has to study to know more of conditionsin which the blood is altered. He is thusa better general practitioner. I have metmen of this kind. I know men who whilein general practice have become remarkablyexpert as to fractures, and other forms ofindustriai accidents. Others have becomesuccessful, well-known pediatricians. Yet they have never given up general practiceor not until late in life. They have ob-tained and held the high regard of theirfellow practitioners and of the people oftheir community. It has largely come fromdoing one thing well.This type of majoring is not really spe-cialism though it is akin to it. It may becalled a medicai hobby. It is a hobby thatto my mind is well worth cultivating.It is not intended that it should take theplace of a nonmedicai hobby. Every doctorshould have at least one nonmedicai hobbyas well as his medicai one. But that isanother question better discussed at someother time and by some other pen.Smelling the Spring*By George Burt Lake, M.D. '02My spirit craves the scent of bruised green things-The spicy, aromatic smeli of pecan leaves;Rosemary's reminiscent, faint perfume;The strong, sharp reek of tansy by the road ;The dear aroma ©f the new-cut grassWhich reawakes emotions that I feltIn adolescence, on my uncle's farm.These teli me, even though I had gone blind,That the old, fecund essence of the soilIs stirring and that summer is not far.*From An Apostle of Joy, a little hook of pleasant verses248 THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINEDR. JOSEPH BOLIVAR DeLEE, who recently resigned as Professor of Obstet-rics at Northwestern University Medicai School to become Chairman of the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology at the University of Chicago, was bornon October 28, 1869. He has devoted his life and his indomitable energy to the improve-ment of obstetric practice and teaching. This has been the motivating force in his lifeand has resulted in the development of a splendid teaching organization at Northwesternand the founding and developing of the Chicago Lying-In Hospital and Dispensary, forwhose organization and growth, especially in its medicai aspects, Dr. DeLee has beenalmost solely responsible.The author of two widely circulated and excellent text books, always in the fore-f ront of obstetric teaching and education, he is now devoting ali of his available time andenergy to the application of the moving picture to the teaching of obstetrics.His life's work has now culminated in the building of the superb new ChicagoLying-in Hospital on the campus, of, and in afHliation with, the University of Chicago, andthe unifìcation of both the Hospital and Dispensary with the Department of Obstetricsand Gynecology of the University. This places this fine organization in the MedicaiSchool as an integrai part of the scheme for teaching and research.Courtesy Northwestern University Alumni News.Sojourn on a SummitBy Henry Justin Smith, '98XIII1.THE President looked very weary.He sat in his tali officiai chair, theone with the Gothic carvings and theblue velvet cushions. His hands lay idlyupon its arms; his head sought rest againstits high back. In this repose, his faceseemed pinched and old.The stage of the assembly hall was wellfilled for this one hundred and — th quar-terly ceremony of graduation. More pro-fessors than usuai had joined in the marchup the center aisle; on some occasions therehad been hardly more than a baker's dozen.There were at least six trustees sitting inthe front rows. Ali the deans essential tocompleting the ceremonies in due form werepresent. By the Presidente side an oratorof the day, a person from Down There, satclutching a thick manuscript and regardingthe tips of his polished shoes below the hemof his gown.Black gowns ali over the stage ; a fewwith velvet collars, with purple hoods, withtrimmings of scarlet or crimson. The University, so easy-going, so easily adoptingan "off-hand" or a merry way of doingthings, was at this hour dressing the part ofmajesty, and acting it. There must be atleast once when students realize, by thesymbols of academic costume, cathedrallighting, and largo music, that Alma Materis a high priestess. There must be at leastone stately memory for them to carry intothe world.2.The candidates — who in a few minuteswould be graduatesi — filled half of the floor.There were hundreds of them. In theirpatternless black robes they had resigned aliexterior trace of that "individuality" whichthey boasted. Every other day they mightflaunt green caps, or red scarfs, or painted"slickers," or sporty stripes. But today theUniversity had uniformed them in slithery black and seated them in ranks. It seemedto suggest to them, "Today it is myself youshall think about."From side seats and rear seats, from rowsof boxes, guests, parents and minor university persons, looked upon the array ofcandidates, the long rows of blond or darkheads. Each of these youths and maidenshad his or her name printed somewhere inthe programs distributed to the crowd ; andthe names made up, in some divisions, tre-mendously long lists in fine type. Theguests put on their glasses to read them.Well, well! fifty candidates for Ph.D.,and seventy-five for M.A., and nearly halfas many for J.D."Did we ever award so many doctoratesbefore?""Well, I think, back in 1921 ""Not so many bachelors of divinity here.""There never are, somehow.""It'll take an hour to confer the degrees.... I hope the address will be short.""Yes; so we can hear the Presidenteannouncement. Something very interestingto come, you know."Thus the crowd, fluttering its programs,skimming through the names, which are aheritage from the Tower of Babel, a con-fusion of names American, Teutonic, Jew-ish, Chinese, Czecho-Slovak, Italian, Hindu,and ali the rest.And the faces upon which the Presidentlooks are, just as in chapel, faces of everyethnic blend, faces with the tints and con-tours of ali the races, not omitting theNegro. But for the occasion the Universityhas rubbed out their characteristic lookwhen they are glad or sorry or excited.They wear just the one expression of ex-pectancy, which is on every other face. TheUniversity is just one throbbing pulse ofexpectancy.And the man who set it throbbing, theman everybody counts on, the President,sits looking very weary.249250 THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINE3-The Lowlander, from his place under thebalcony, tried to read the Presidentethoughts. Now and then those luminousgrey-blue eyes, partly veiled by thoughtfuleyelids, would go straying over the longrows of candidates. In those moments, verylikely, the President was thinking:"Here are more waves in the tide ofYouth ; great eager waves, pressing upon thebeach. Year after year, they rise and attaintheir iull height, and dissolve again. Thenthere is a new tide. . . "Or he may have been thinking:"I wonder if we have done ali we couldfor these students. I wonder if we havereached them. . . . Such thousands ofthem, and so few of us. . . . Why, Ihardly know one of those boys and girls bysight; I have to be so far away. Are ourmethods right, I wonder. . . . Too muchmachinery; too much machinery."And it is not improbable that the President dreamed of a new university city, andespecially a row of college homesteads, inwhich, like great families, the studentscould live and work; with university hostsand hostesses to see to their welfare. Itwas a shame that so many young peoplemust live, scattered about in cheap lodgings,often lonely and facing hard problems.Nor is it unlikely that he looked aboutthis old assembly hall, wherein it was oftenhard for students to hear, or even to see ; andhe yearned for the day when there could bebuilt that great white cathedral which hehoped to see begun before he died. In amonumentai building like that there wouldbe room for everybody. And would notits beauty, its lofty vaults, its adornments,bring reverence, widen that spiritual moodwhich the President so much desired forhis students? Oh, he desired it so much!He did not care what some people argued ;he knew that a few of his advisers lookedhalf-convinced when he insisled that religionshould be the real centrai arch of the University. With him, everything led to aspiritual Summit.Was the University doing ali that itcould ? 4.The professors on the stage sa,t likeimages, enfolded in their draperies. Thelast few days had "taken it out of them."The end of a term has its climaxes andstrains, its difficult decisions. Shall this orthat candidate be rejected? Is this or thatthesis adequate, up to the reputation of theUniversity?No wonder some of those on the stageyawned.And it must have been with relief thatthey saw these candidates, whom they hadstruggled to develop and to polish, sittingthere "passed" and about to go beyond theirjurisdiction. Yet there may have been re-grets as well. In helping create masters anddoctors, some of these professors had feltreal thrills, discovering genius, shaping it,standing beside young fellows in the labo-ratories, matching wits with them. It wasa sort of extension of the paternal. It wasa brief fathering of adopted children. Andnow it was good-bye.Such sentiments are not talked about atThe Club. They only cross the mind of aprofessor on a stage, in this pause at theend of the task. Then, on to anotherterm!One professor whispers to another, as theorator of the day rises:"His manuscript looks good for fortyminutes, at least."5-The orator has fìnished, however, wellwithin forty minutes. He sits down, a bitflushed, a little surprised at the polite ap-plause. Lord knows if he said anythingworth while. . . .There begins now one of the mostfamiliar and most efficient performances ofthe University. Everyone of those hundredsof candidates shall appear for an instant onthe stage and receive his emblem of workperformed. And not one of the black-cladthrong shall receive any other diploma thanhis own. It is a triumph of system. Yousee, they have ali been seated in a certainorder on the floor ; and when the. long linespass to the stage, the diplomas, lying inSOJOURN ON A SUMMIT 251carefully arranged piles, shall be issued inexactly that same certain order. A mixupwould be shocking. But there never is one.The President has moved over to anotherthrone at the side. He has donned hismortarboard, the one with a gold tasseLAt his elbow is the table covered with thatenormous pile of diplomas, and behind thetable stands an officiai who never makes amistake.Now the organ begins playing. Twoashers take up proud positions at the headof an aisle. The first battalion of candidatesbegins to move. As they pass up the stepsto the stage the university marshal, thatlast word of decorum, meets those whoarrive and reverently conducts the movingline toward the President.A dean now gets up in the first row, donshis cap, and pronounces distinctly certainLatin words. He bows, and subsides.Braced for the exercise to come, thePresident receives the first diploma, andpasses it to the candidate. The process un-winds. The arms of the dean at the tableand of the President are in perpetuai motion.The line never pauses. The candidatesbow and seize diplomas in the same move-ment. Then down the steps, and back tothe seats with a look of relief.The professors owlishly watch this ma-neuver, which they have seen such scoresof times before.Another group of candidates files up aseach finished group clears the way. Nota minute is lost; this disposai of diplomaswill take too long anyway. No one canstumble; no one pause to ponder.A dean in scarlet gown rises."Haec juvenes. . . . PhilosophiaeDoctor. ..."There is a bit more deliberation here. Itmust be granted to these candidates; olderfolks, many of them; even grey-haired, afew. Besides, there are the purple hoodsto be adjusted. And, unlike the horde ofmere "bachelors," these doctors are to bementioned, each by name. The audiencepeers a bit, and rustles.In silence each man or woman stalksacross the stage, bows and is invested withthe hood. The dean identifies the first: "Julian Crossgable Alexander." This new-made doctor bends low again, and descendsthe steps, amid applause. "Agnes LarrabeeElderfire." The young woman submits tobe decorated, makes a movement like acurtsey, and passes on. Applause re-enforced.Bearing their honors, and warmed byencouraging smiles from the President, thehalf hundred doctors are again in their seats.The transaction is accomplished. An educational wheel has been turned. Emotion-less, it seems. But behind the apparentgrinding of soul-less machinery there liesremembrance of months passed in exhorta-tion, in maintaining morale, in spurring onflagging human nature to a consummation.That is what counted. What, after ali, isa ceremony?6.The Lowlander saw the President at lastrise that day, with a good deal of curiosityon his own part. Now had arrived themoment to which rumor had given a sharppoint. Now there might be the unchainingof news which would echo through thebuildings and be triumphantly repeated atevery faculty dinner table.That million! ......The President slowly advanced to thereading-desk. He resumed his gold-tasseledcap. His face was perfectly expressionless.Reading each word with deliberation,making no gestures or otherwise adorningthe task, he proceeded to his accounting ofthe university work. If he had any thrilling announcement, custom would make itwait until the end. With strict adherenceto this rule, he gave figures of attendance.He gave brief tributes to "members of theuniversity, deceased." He turned a page,and enumerated a long list of minor giftsand bequests, becoming a little impressiveas he mentioned those donations, alreadyknown, to the departments of ProfessorX and Professor Hastings.There was a brief pause, and the audiencefell absolutely stili. A trustee passed ahandkerchief over his forehead."Our hopes," said the President, moreslowly and with greater emphasis, "embrace252 THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINEprojects which, when carried out, will fulfillthe mighty destiny of the University. Thedetails of these plans I have announced here-tofore. It is not only with hope, but withfaith — faith in the designs of God, faiththat our friends will assist us to carry outthose designs — that we confront the future."With the last words his voice failed. Helooked out over the silent audience, almostas though with appeal, and backed to histali chair.7-H was six o'clock, and having struck thehour, the chimes began their nightly"popular program.""Oh, we'll ali be joyful in the morning,"clanged the bells.- The chimer, pulling hisropes, could not see out of his tower. It was not in his range of vision that theaudience of the one hundred and — th con-vocation was going away disappointed. Hecould not see groups of professors trudgingthrough the snow, shaking their heads, ortrying to shore up their hopes with witti-cisms."We'll ali be joyful in the morning,"played the chimer, thinking how this wasthe end of a term, nearly the end of a year,Christmas almost ready to dawn.Down into the streets, streaked withlight, and over the snow-laden quadrangles,the chimer sent his message.The end of a year. The end of a chapterfor an army of students. ... A badhour for the President.Nothing to announce — except faith.The Jericho RoadBy Albert Judson Fisher, '76Oh, Olivet's holy hill-top shrine,Oh, Gethsemane's Garden of tears,Where the heights and depths of a Love DivineCommingled with human fears.Oh, the Jericho Road that leadeth downTo the Jordan plain and the ancient town,The highway the ravening smiters trodWhose smitten were healed by the pity of God.God's hill-tops of hope and man's valley of fearsCommingle through ali of life's timorous years,Yet Good Samaritans, now as then,Ride the Jericho Road for the succor of men.Comment on the Hutchins Inauguration*By President Emeritus Thompson of Ohio State Universitys OME time haselapsed but theimpression i sstili vivid concerningthe very brilliant oc-casion when RobertMaynard Hutchinswas inaugurated thefìfth President of theUniversity of Chicago.This event occupiedTuesday, the igth ofNovember, morning,afternoon, and eve-ning. The attendance reached capacity inevery instance for the rooms assigned to theexercises. The forenoon was occupied withthe inaugurai exercises followed by lunch-eon with a liberal assignment and in theevening a dinner of about one thousandpersons with a very generous provision forafter-dinner speakers.The greetings at the inaugurai from thefaculty were presented by the Senior Dean.This was one of the most refreshing andstimulating addresses which the writerhappens to have heard on such an occasion.It sparkled with genuine wit and humorwhile carrying very obviously a most sincere tone of appreciation for the new in-cumbent in the office.The greetings from state universitieswere presented by President David Kin-ley, of the University of Illinois. Greetings from the immediate vicinity were presented by President Walter Dill Scott, ofNorthwestern University. Both these addresses revealed a most cordial attitude onthe part of higher education of Illinoistoward the University ef Chicago.The fact that President Harper carnefrom the Yale Faculty, that PresidentHutchins was both a Professor at Yale andDean of the Yale Law School when in-vited to Chicago, and that President JamesR. Angeli had served as Professor and Deanat Chicago, made it obvious that he was the* Courtesy of the Ohio State University appropriate man to speak for the East. Thishe did in a most gracious and forcefulmanner.The President met every expectation inhis inaugurai address. It was spoken without manuscript, without hesitation, insimple and clear English that put no bur-den upon the audience to discover whathe was trying to say. It has been saidthat the President is a memoriter speaker.His method of preparation is careful, sys-tematic and detailed. He does not, however, undertake to reproduce the exactwords in mind during the preparation.It appears that he follows almost verballythe statement of fact or theory in mind.One, however, does not get any impressionof memoriter work, for the speaker seemsto be entirely spontaneous in the expres-sion and his mind seems to operate so pre-cisely and in such an orderly fashion thatthe hearer is entirely unconscious of eitherpreparation or of memoriter work. Thismakes the most charming address and leavesupon the audience the feeling of resource-fulness. You would never suspect that hewas about to run out of material or that hedid not have something more to say on aparticular topic. He satisfies you with thestatement he makes and leaves you willingto listen at greater length if he should decide to prolong his address. I have hearda great many addresses of one sort or another. Only men of the highest attainmentsand rich experience could come into com-parison with the masterful way in whichthis young man of thirty held an audiencefrom start to finish.It is impossible to discuss the merits ofthe address in this article further than tosay that it was a clear outline of the history of the experiment in education madefrom the days of President Harper throughto nineteen hundred and twenty-nine. Thephilosophy of education as put into opera-tion by President Harper was clearly setforth. The development of university ac-Monthly.253254 THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINEtivities, the expansiòn of its service and thestatement of its ideals were ali that onecould wish. The address did not concernitself to any great length with the questionof finances. Reference was made to theearly experience and emphasis given to thefact that at the very beginning the universityundertook to secure the men of first rankfor ali its departments. It will be recalledthat $7,000 was the standard salary at theoutset. This was in excess of that paid byany other institution in the country. It wassubject to some criticism at the time, butevents have proved the wisdom^of the policy.That salary would be equivalent to about$12,000 at the present day. Attention wasdirected to the fact that during a recentperiod since, $53,000,000 had been received.Of this amount only $7,000,000 had goneto the salary fund. This raises the generalquestion as to the future of the salary fund.No definite announcement was made andno request was offered, but one could notavoid the feeling that the maximum interestexpressing itself at the evening dinnerlooked toward an early appeal for a veryconsiderable endowment fund for salaries.The Presidente address, however, avoidedthat appeal but made a very direct statement which could not very well lose itsforce.It may be stated that the Presidentshowed rare ability in his repartee on sev-eral occasions. The ease and dignity withwhich he presided gave the occasion ali theappearance of informality. Perhaps thethrill of the day was experienced by every-body when this youthful president conferredan honorary degree upon his father, President Wm J. Hutchins, of Berea College. Avery graceful presentation of the father tothe son brought the young man to a realtest. His voice softened with emotion, hiseye was dimmed with an irrepressible tear,but ali in ali it was a rare, perhaps un-paralleled ceremony in the history of suchexperiences and was a fine tribute to bothfather and son. This feature of the occasion was greeted with great enthusiasm.As one would naturally expect, the appearance of Dr. George E. Vincent of theRockefeller Foundation was a signal for an unusual performance. There was nodisappointment. A buzz saw or a gatlinggun would lose reputation for rapid fìreaction if in competition with Dr. Vincent.He portrayed very strikingly the distressof a $7,000 professor going to a dinnerfrom the university to "The Gold Coast."The pathos of that situation was so obviousthat every member of the faculty at thatdinner must have recalled with bitter vivid-ness his social efforts among the multi-millionaires of Michigan Avenue. Thiswas a subtle appeal for increased endow-ments. Already the audience had beengiven hints of the great public service thatthe University of Chicago has renderedand of its enlarged program ready foroperation, in the fields of social service,politicai science, better government andan improved industriai order. In these am-bitious outbursts one was not altogethersurprised to hear the expression "we propose to have the greatest university in thegreatest city of the world." This was aprophecy but it took in a lot of territory.One wonders why ali this public appeal.It was noticeable at the evening dinner thatthe wealth of Chicago was represented veryadequately. The University makes no appeal as the State University to the rank andfile nor does it make an appeal to a limitedclientele, such as a denomination. On theother hand the University has absolved itselfpractically from ali control outside of itself. It now makes its appeal to men offortunes who can support and who arewilling to support a program devised bythe University for the sake of doing what,in the judgment of the University, is inthe interest of public welfare.These great foundations going beyondone hundred millions of assets and appar-ently destined to grow very rapidly in thefuture present a tremendous challenge toa practical democracy. Whether thesefoundations and endowments can be keptsubservient to a purpose, an ideal and a program deserving popular approvai is a verysincere hope. If any of them should failin these particulars they would be anythingelse than a stimulus to the democracy ofhigher education. One cannot fail to ree-COMMENT ON THE HUTCHINS INAUGURATION 25$ognize that in some of these extreme posi-tions there is a horizon of uncertainty some-what beclouded. One could not fail to wishthat in the progress of education the moredemocratically organized institutions ofhigher learning should not be too much in-fluenced by the mass effect of perpetuai en-dowments.One felt at Columbia for example, thatthe fact of available money in very largequantities was ali the while in the background of the men who are trying to thinkin terms of educational issues. The neces-sity of money is so obvious that it seemsfutile to suggest that it could ever be ahindrance. If one will reflect, however,upon the experience of other centuries hemust realize that men, character, scholarship, desire for progress and devotion to thehighest interest of students are the perma-nent monuments rather than are the endow-ments. One could wish that there might bea better balance in our minds as to the doc-trines of values. Granting the importanceand appropriate place for buildings, grounds,endowments, libraries and laboratories, thequestion stili rises whether a man is notbetter than a sheep and whether it is notalso true that a university's life consistethnot in the abundance of its endowments.A few specific references to the Presidente address may appropriately findreference here. Three things of major importance stand out. 1. Research, its organization, focus, and main objectives. 2.Teaching, the place of undergraduate colleges and the education of college teachers.3. The securing and keeping of a strongstaff as one of the primary concerns of auniversity. In developing the general topicemphasis was put upon the experimentalcharacter of not a little of the University'swork. Attention was directed to the fact that the program of affiliation had lost itsusefulness and was abandoned. The readerwill recali the Bradley Polytechnic Instituteat Peoria as an outstanding example. Thistemporary character of an experimentsuggested that such experiments have atendency to change into vested rights, a tend-ency to be disapproved. This policy wascited as one of the useful services the University had rendered especially in showingother universities what not to do. A bit ofphilosophy carne out in the declaration thatthe University was dedicated to the propo-sition that ali men are entitled to whatevereducation they can utilize and that the University would not withdraw from undergraduate work, or at least from the firsttwo years of it. The hearing of this uponthe present program of the junior collegeis obvious and may be understood as a noticeto students in these junior colleges that theymust equal in their work that of students inthe University of Chicago as a conditionprecedent to their eligibility for advancedrank.We do not propose to abandon or dis-member the colleges.It was declared that if the University'sfunction was to attempt solutions of diffi-cult educational problems, to try to illuminate dark and dubious fields, it couldnot retreat from the field of undergraduatestudy, so dark and dubious today. Sucha retreat he urged would make impossiblethe kind of graduate study the Universitydesired to promote.As a final word let it be said that theinauguration of President Robert MaynardHutchins was a brilliant occasion, stimu-lating in its ideals, and on the whole mostencouraging for the outlook of higher education.m MY OPUIIOBBy Fred B, MillettAssistant Professor of EnglishNE of the most pathetic notes incurrent British journalism is theardent editorial desire that a British author should produce a world-conquer-ing masterpiece like Remarque's Ali Quieton the Western Front or Barbusse's UnderPire. Though editors in the best traditiondeprecate the horror and despair and de-featism of such books, they see no reasonwhy a Briton should not turn out a warnovel as gentlemanly and sportsmanlike andglobe-encircling as the war play, lourneysEnd. The non-appearance of such a bookhas not deterred any English poet who sur-vlved the war from springing to his pen inanswer to the cali of duty. Since the widesuccess of Siegfried Sassoon's subdued andpoignant M emorie s of a Fox-Hunting Man,Edmund Blunden's Undertones of War, asensitive and restrained account in proseand verse of his experience in Flanders, hasbeen followed up by Richard Aldington'smore sensational Death of a Hero andRobert Graves' Good-Bye to Ali That.As war books, the last two volumes areimpressive if not particularly distinguished.They abide perfectly by the now conven-tional formulae : a sensitive recorder, moreor less rebellious against military officious-ness and red tape; endless confusion andbungling relieved by heart-breaking devotionto duty; mud, filtri, bawdy talk and be-haviour; death in its most grewsome forms,and heroic spirits strained almost to break-ing. But it is in other respects that thesebooks require dose criticai attention.Death of a Hero is the first novel of aman who, as poet, critic, and translator,has hitherto appealed to a limited and fas-tidious audience. His early share in theimagist movement, his marriage to H. D.,the most talented and consistent of the imagists, and his painful and beautifulpoems, War and Love, have been followedby numerous studies in eighteenth cen-tury French literature, a subject extremelyremote from the modern world. Death ofa Hero brings him back abruptly to thecurrent of contemporary life. Like mostfirst novels, it is much more derivative thanthe author is aware. Of its originality, theauthor says "it is, apparently, not a novel atali. Certain conventions of form andmethod in the novel have been erected, Igather, into immutable laws and are lookedupon with quite superstitious reverence.They are entirely disregarded here. To methe excuse for the novel is that one can doany damn thing one pleases." Such a prot-estation of technical radicalism hardly be-fits an experienced and knowing person likeAldington. One need go no further thanH. G. Wells to find the source of Aldington's technique — the biographical form, thelarge space given to ideas, the impertinentintrusion of the author, the painstakingrepresentation of the hero's moronic parents,his unhappy childhood, and his fumblinglove affairs. In the book's most strikingquality, its virulent assault on Victorianism,it is distinctly reminiscent of SamuelButlere classic, The Way of Ali Flesh.Like Wells again and Aldous Huxley, Aldington has written a roman a clef, althoughit does not require a very large key to unlockthe mystery of Waldo Tubbe (T. S. Eliot)"who hailed (why 'hailed'?) from the Middle Western districts of the United States,and was an exceedingly ardent and patrioticBritish Tory, standing for Royalism in Art,Authority in Politics and Classicism inReligion. . . . Since he was an unshakableAnglo-Catholic, there were no hopes of aPapal Countship; and Tory governments256IN MY OPINION 257are proverbially shabby in their treatmentof even the most distinguished among theirintellectual supporters. Consequently, aliMr. Waldo Tubbe could do in that linewas to hint at his aristocratic English an-cestry, to use his (possibly authentic) coat-of-arms on his cutlery, stationery, toilettearticles and book-plates, and know only the'best' people." The most originai note inAldington is heard in such passages of acridpoetic prose as the amazing apostrophewhich begins, " 'Mother of the race ofiEneas, voluptuous delight of gods and men,sacred Aphrodite' — how does it go? Butthe poet is right. She, the sacred one, theimperious reproduetive instinct, with aliHer wiles and charms, is indeed the rulerover ali living things, in the waters, in theair, on land. Over us her sway is complete,for it is not seasonal but permanent. . . ."Paradoxically, the novel is without a hero,for Winterbourne turns out be a constitu-tional misfìt in both civic and military life,and though not ali Rotarians are heroes,neither are ali neurotics, except in the handsof Dostoievski.Graves' autobiography parallels the Aldington novel in the ground its hero covers,in its outspoken but decent coarseness, andin its attack on the conventional in war andpeace. It is a somewhat more courageousbook, since Graves calls ali but two or threeof the characters by their real names, andin no way allows the veil of fiction to dimthe brutal truth.It is rather a pity that so fine a book asthis should provoke a kind of scandaloussuccess. Its frankness and intimacy at firstseem questionable assets. But the cool impersonal narration of his maritai misadven-ture is perhaps in as good taste as a matterof essentially bad taste can be. There is,besides, a legitimate as well as a spurious satisfaction in reading of the private livesand opinions of one's public contemporaries.It is both diverting and informing to learnwhat Lytton Strachey said to the MilitaryBoard, and that when Edith Sitwell visitedthe Graves, "she spent her time sitting onthe sofà and hemming handkerchiefs." Itis pleasant to have another record of ahumble and candid Thomas Hardy, and tocatch a glimpse of Sir Edmund Gosse'simitation of Henry James eating soup.But Good-Bye to Ali That is much morethan a masterpiece of indiscretion ; it is afull length portrait of a modem man, a com-plex and refractory spirit. The one beforeus is not ali sweetness and light ; the preser-vation of those qualities implies the banish-ment of ugliness and darkness, and withthem honesty and truth. For the paintingof such a portrait Graves has the perfecthand since, with George Moore and JamesJoyce before him, he shares the Irish apti-tude for detachment from conventionalfeelings, which the English rarely attain.In fact, England might do well to give Ire-land a monopoly of the writing of auto-biographies, just as she has seen the wisdomof permitting Irishmen to write most of hergood plays.From Graves' book there rises thefigure of a born rebel, a rebel against theconventional attitudes and emotions offamily life, a rebel against the public-schoolsystem, against civic and military castes,Graves is a splendid soldier, but never thehappy warrior nor the military martinet.Blunt and outspoken but not callous orcynical, he is a passionate servant of in-tegrity, even when that service affronts thetimorous and the caste-ridden. He is atonce humorous and fantastic, hard andmetaphysical ; in short, he is a latter-dayHamlet in modem dress.An Unconventional Balance SheetBy Nathan C. Plimpton, University ComptrollerAbout a year ago The University of Chicago Magazine published an article entitled "Some Financial Aspectsof Higher Education" dealing in the abstract with certain phases of# the financial condition and operation of auniversity. In that article the opinion was expressed that an educational institution was poor or wealthy withreference to its ability to serve society in instruction and research in a manner proportionate to its opportunities.It is clear, therefore, that the fact that an educational institution has large resources is not indicative of afHuencejon the other hand, its ability to meet its opportunities is the true measuring device.An Understandable Financial Reportas of June 30, 1929As is the custom with most universities, the University of Chicago publishes an annual report entitled "PresidenteReport." It is quite possible that the contents of this document are not seen by many of the alumni. It ìsalso probable that the financial statements, having been prepared with respect to the principles of technical account-ing, are not readily understood by some of those who have had an opportunity of seeing them. In arder torender the statement of the University's financial condition as of June 30, 1929, more easily comprehended by theuninitiated, the usuai statement of financial condition has been recast in the following Unconventional BalanceSheet.It has been said that the modera endowed university represents, fìnancially speaking, a three-fold activity:1 It ìs the trustee for large amounts of endowment funds, to be preserved inviolate, the income on these funds to be disbursed in accordance with the terms of the several trusts. Asthe holder of these funds, the University acts largely as a trust company.2 It receives funds for the purpose of purchasing land, the erection of buildings, purchases ofbooks, scientific apparatus and equipment, and furnishings ; and proceeds to the expenditureof these funds for the purposes mentioned.< Ali these facilities are to be maintained and usedin the conduct of the activities of the institution.3 By means of income from endowment funds and the use of the plant provided, togetherwith income from students and other sources, the University conducts an institution in whichthe youth of the land are educated and important research carried on.An analysis is submitted of the balance sheet of the University, illustrating this three-fold activity. There arepresented: (a) a statement of the endowment funds and accounting therefor; (b) the funds presented for plantpurposes and their distribution ; (e) the funds for current purposes; their source and accounting.Endowment FundsFrom society the University has received funds for the Functioning as a "trust company," the University holdspurpose of producing income for the various activities of and accounts for these funds in investments and cash asthe University.

TheUniversity of Chicago has been fortunate in possessingcurrent capital and reserves enabling it to meet contingen-cies, but which, however, are not available for theexpansion of the institution. Various types of currentfunds are as follows:Working Capital $ 200,000.00This amount is available as a revolvingfund.

It is undoubtedly true that this measure ofconfidence is directly due to the educational work of the University and the efficient management of its affairsby the Board of Trustees. The University is relyingon the character of the institution and the efficiencyof its management to insure the continuance of the support it has hitherto enjoyed.NEWS OF THEQUADRANGLESBy John P. Howe, '27The Department of PublicityDESPITE the difficulties of an interim appointment and the poly-morphic demands which the head-ship of such a diversely potent engineentails, no administration of the Universitycould have been more smooth and effectivethan that of Frederic Woodwàrd in themonths from June, 1928 to Òctober, 1929.The annual Presidente Report, now pub-lished, does not justly reflect his interstitialaptitudes but the larger generalship is ap-parent.So rapid has been the pace of physicaldevelopment that the ambitious buildingprogram projected by President Burton in1924, as of 1940, is now a reality, exceptfor two units, a general administrativestructure and a new^home for education inthe colleges. Gifts during the year totalled$6,926,311. Added to other asset incre-ments, this brought the book valuation ofthe University to $88,357,337, of which ap-proximately $51,000,000 is productive endowment. Budget expenditures for theacademic year aggrega ted $5,99i>496, anincrease of $371,277 over those of the pre-vious year. Of that aggregate 39-H% wasfurnished by student fees."The most important speciflc need ofthe Ogden Graduate School of Science isa new building for Hygiene and Bacteri-ology," says the report. "The old laboratory in this strong and important department is not only a reproach but a disgraceto the University, and it is earnestly hopedthat funds for a new structure will be f oundbefore the dose of another year." Surpris-ing also to Vice-President Woodwàrd is thepersisting and pointed need of building andendowment capital for the School of Commerce and Administration.Important progress is recorded in thecurriculum and pedagogy — or relief from them — of the undergraduate colleges."But," in Mr. Woodward's words, "whatis more important is that the instruction inthe colleges be carried on by men andwomen who are thoroughly adequate inscholarship, skilful in teaching and interested in undergraduates. Fortunately, wehave a goodly number of such teachers onour faculties. But we need many more andan unremitting effort should be made to findthem." Work will start this spring on thenew $3,000,000 dormitories south of theMidway.Selective admission has proved its worthin barring unlikely students and the effortof the present will be to increase the number of qualified applicants for the 750 available places in the freshman class, and toincrease the number of scholarships.Of the new medicai development he says,"The difficulties of assembling a full-timefaculty of high grade, of organizing clinicsòf a new pattern, of integrating the wholeenterprise in the University, and of financ-ing its operations were enormous. Yet atthe dose of two years of operation it may besaid without hesitation that the success ofthe venture is assured. Much remains to bedone but at least we cari face the future withconfidence."WWWAlumni who have not had a chance towatch the medicai expansion push itself intothe once-indeterminate areas west of theMain Quadrangle could hardly visualizethis imposing new Midway contour, or feelits weight. Now at its third-floor level, thenew $1,800,000 Lying-In Hospital is risingbetween Drexel and Maryland, facing theMidway. Across Drexel, the Bobs RobertsHospital is practically complete, adjoiningthe Clinics proper.260NEWS OF THE QUADRANGLES 261On February 18 ground was broken fortwo more units, to adjoin the Clinics on theeast, balancing Roberts and providing fororthopedics where Roberts will care forpediatrics. For these latest breakings giftsof $300,000 each carne from two donors, thebuildings to be called respectively the"Gertrude Dunn Hicks Memorial" and the"Nancy Adele McElwee Memorial."fointly they will house the work of theChicago Home for Destitute CrippledChildren, an altruistic enterprise of Chicago citizenry, now operating on the WestSide.Wards, giving space for 100 beds, willoccupy most of the new hospitals. Sincethe structures will be connected with eachother and with the surgical end of theClinics, forming an L, facilities for opera-tion, X-ray work and service will be handledin the Albert Merritt Billings hospital.The Home, now headed by Robert F.Carr and a distinguished board, requires$75,000 a year for its support, since itprovides medicai treatment for over 1,200crippled children from poor families everyyear, as well as upkeep and education for amore limited number. Other divisions ofthe University's medicai center for children, in addition to Hicks, McElwee,Roberts, and Lying-In, are the CountryHome for Convalescent Children, nearWheaton, and the Children's MemorialHospital, on the near North Side.Also in the recent news has been the suc-cessful effort of the Provident Hospital toraise $3,000,000. This is the only teachinghospital for Negroes in the United Statesand through a co-operative agreement itsteaching and research will now go forwardunder the medicai supervision of the University, specifically Dr. Franklin McLean.Heavy contributions to the program, whichshould see the first real effort to trainNegro doctors and to study disease as itoccurs in Negroes, have been the GeneralEducation Board, Julius Rosenwald, andthe Conrad Hubert estate, as dispensed byAl Smith, Calvin Coolidge and Mr. Rosenwald. The present quarters of the Chi cago Lying-In Hospital, now on 5ist Streetbut destined for the Midway, are to be pur-chased for the new Provident expansion.wwwMental activity and imagination arefunctions involving the whole body ratherthan products of the brain acting alone, ithas been demonstrated in experiments underway in our physiology laboratories. A simpleact of imagination — an idea — has been meas-ured in terms of the voltage from neuro-muscular reactions associated with it,though no movement could be detected withthe unaided eye.From a long series of objective tests Dr.Edmund Jacobson, Research Associate inthe Department, has shown that the effortof imagining is accompanied by involuntaryand extremely negligible contractions of themuscles imagined as moving. Using oneof the most sensitive string galvanometersever applied to neuro-muscular study, hewas able to detect the discharge of a fewmillionths of a volt from the biceps whenthe subject was imagining the act of bendinghis arm.Subjects trained in Dr. Jacobson's "progressive relaxation" technique, in which alimuscle tensions except those of the vitalprocesses are reduced to a point of virtualelimination, with the mind becoming"blank," were used in the experiments. Special electrodes carefully insulated againstali currents save those identifled with thecontraction of the biceps, were sealed to theright arm of the subject, in circuit with thegalvanometer. Motion-picture apparatusrecorded the fluctuations of the delicatestring in the apparatus, which was calibratedto show the slightest electrical disturbancein the biceps.Prearranged stop-and-go signals, by tele-graph buzzer, informed the subject whento imagine a flexion of his arm. Duringcomplete quiescence the shadow of the stringshowed almost straight. But two-fifths ofa second after the signal to imagine, thestring leaped into activity, dancing in vibra-tions five times as great as those of perfectrelaxation. At the signal to relax com-pletely the string relapsed to straightness.2Ó2 THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINEThe electrodes being fastened to the rightarm only, no vacillations of the string re-sulted from instructions to imagine movingany other part of the body, or even from instructions to imagine the right arm relaxed.Instructions to recali grinding coffee withthe right arm resulted in regular rhythmicalcontractions and relaxations on the record.Dr. Jacobson is now experimenting withvisual imagery, in which the electrode cupis fitted over the eye to detect incipientmovements of eye muscles adjusting them-selves to an imagined picture. He is apply-ing the electrodes also to the organs asso-ciated with speech in order to observe themuscular concomitants of thinking when itis in terms of words."This work has been an attempt to bridgethe gap between physics and psycholqgy,"said Dr. Jacobson. "The behaviorists,though without experimental proof, havesuggested that we think through our bodies,but they disregarded mental imagery andmemory, which is the point from which ourobsérvations start."Of those who learned to "love truth andhonor more" as students here, some severalare carrying their banners into the currentlocai politicai imbroglio, albeit on varioussides of the fence.

L.Thurstone's latest statistical formula?, whichreduce the dreaded probability of error toa minimum when used to sound publicattitudes, on a large scale, will give, for atleast a working phase of a public attitude,a mathematical result which is about asdose to the truth as it is possible to be.In one demonstration of the method —on attitudes toward peace and war as meansof settling international disputes — each of1,400 students indicated approvai, doubt ordisapprovai on each of 40 given attitudestoward that problem. After the figureshad been marched and countermarched bydue process of the statistical laws, the following interesting results were adduced:freshmen are more warlike than seniors,and seniors more belligerent that graduate students; Catholic and Lutherans aremore militant than Protestants in general;Christians more than Jews ; students of thephysical and biological sciences more thanthose of literature and the social sciences;men more than women; American childrenmore than those of mixed or foreign-bornparents. No appreciable difference wasfound when grades were used as the cri-terion, or according to indices of wealth.In another demonstration — on prohibi-tion — the experimenter first asked 300people to sort 135 specific given attitudes,on the restriction of alcohol consumption,into 11 piles, graded according to prò oranti sentiment they (the attitudes) ex-pressed.

Crisler to be its directoro£athletics and head football coach, but itdid the University of Chicago no particularfavor. Men like "Fritz^' do not comeeleven to the football team, even at Chicago,and he will be hard to replace."Fritz" could not afford to refuse theposition that Minnesota offered, even thoughhe knew, as did everyone else here, thatwhen Mr. Stagg retired the position the"Old Man" had made so important wouldbe his. Minnesota wanted not only a manwith technical ability, but one whose in-tegrity and character would command re-spect. They offered the dignity of a fullprofessoyship, and the life tenure that goeswith such an appointment. So "Fritz,"stili under thirty, finds himself in a positionof prestige and power that is second noteven to Stagg 's at Chicago. Crisler as an undergraduate was one ofChicago's great athletes. H. O. Pageplucked him out of a sideline crowd in hisfreshman year, though "Fritz" then was alanky young fellow weighing a scant 148."Fritz" had come to Chicago from Earie-ville, Illinois, which is a town in the neigh-borhood of Ottawa. He was here becausehe thought he wanted to be a doctor, andhis uncle had impressed on him that aligood doctors were trained at Rush. Withlittle athletic experience he was furtherhandicapped by the fact that he lived awayfrom the quadrangles. But "Fritz" notonly won his numerals ; he went on to makenine letters, in football, basketball andbaseball, with time out to attend an ofHcer'straining camp in 1918. He was captain ofthe 1922 basketball team.By the time that he was a senior, "Fritz"weighed 178 pounds. He was a great ath-lete not so much because of physical gifts asHandicapped byliving far from thequadrangles heivon only nineC's in his undergraduate days.X-264 wATHLETICS 265because of the intensity with which heplayed and the cleverness with which hetook advantage of every opportunity. Infootball, especially, he was always break-ing himself in two, but he broke a coupleof opponents first. He was an end andquarterback in football; a back guard inbasketball, a pitcher and outfielder in baseball, and a star in every position. Hemissed Phi Beta Kappa by the margin oftwo grade points — deducted for chapel cuts.The keenness and intensity which he haddisplayed as a player ^^ ^^^^^^made him a successfulcoach. He knew theStagg technique in football thoroughly and helearned the other meth-ods as a result of hissharp observations as ascout. "Fritz" is a re-markable teacher, notonly because he knowsthe thing he is teaching,but because he com-mands the respect andco-operation of his play-ers. He was tremen-dously popular here withthe men on the teams,and he will be just aspopular at Minnesota,because of that respectfor his ability and confidence in his fairness.Crisler is more than a skilful coach. Hehas poise and dignity and intelligence.When he makes a speech it is sincere andworth listening to. Incidentally, on a flyingvisit to Minneapolis shortly after his ap-pointment, he made twelve speeches in threedays and then caught a train home becausethey wanted encores. That comes fairlydose to the all-time, ali-America record ofPresident Hutchins. "Fritz" has remarka-ble standing with the coaches and directorsin the conference : that regard was un-questionably a factor in bringing him theMinnesota position. He will be an ableadministrator, his record at Chicago indeveloping interscholastics being but oneproof of his ability.Everyone at the University, from theDirector Herbert O. Crisleradministration and Director Stagg to thestudents, wanted "Fritz" to remain. Itwas not a question of dissatisfaction or oflack of a future: simply that the Minnesotaopportunity was one that no one felt justi-fied in advising him to refuse. There is afervent hope that eventually he will return,backed by a record of achievement thateveryone confidently predicts for him.The "Old Man," who seldom grows ful-some, was unstinted in his praise and un-qualified in his faith in "Fritz's" ability^^^^^^^^^^ when the appointmentwas accepted. "Balance,judgment, dependabilityand loyalty are his predo min ant characteris-tics," said Mr. Stagg."The best trained youngman for the position thatI know. . . Above aliand beyond ali, Fritz isa gentleman and a sports-man. The boys will respect him and love himbecause he is a fair,square, u p r i g h t andclean, yet thoroughly hu-man.Or to quote fromJames Weber Linn inhis Round about Chicago column: "Afterthe first Chicago-Princeton game, in 1923,I wrote that Crisler had earned "All-American" honors in that game; that aChicago lineman would be made All-American, and that it would not be Crisler.And so it turned out. Crisler does not knowhow to advertise himself. He is so quiet,so tolerant, so fully convinced of the otherfellow's ability as well as of his own, thathe has even been accused of lackingself-confidence. That is nonsense. No-body who knows him has any doubt abouthis competence for either job. Othercoaches may make better speeches at massmeetings. But not many will study thesituation any more closely or work harderover technique, or inspire more belief in thatposition which the boys cali being 'there'."Good-by, Fritz; take keer uv yerself."266 THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINESCORES OF THE MONTHBASKETBALLNorthwestern, sy ; Chicago, 17Michigan, 29; Minnesota, 19;Illinois, 28 ;Illinois, 31 ; Chicago, 15Chicago, 8Chicago, 5Illinoiis, 28Purdue, 37Indiana, 28Chicago, 23Michigan, 30;Northwestern, 39Chicago, 35; Chicago, 16Chicago, 25Chicago, 25Chicago, 16Wisconsin, 21Chicago, 15; Chicago, 24Illinois, 22TRACKChicago, 57; Ptirdue, 28Quadrangular meet:Wisconsin, 48 ;Northwestern, 35 ;Ohio, 27;Chicago, 22;Chicago, 49/^; Michigan, 45^Indiana, 57; Chicago, 29SWIMMINGWisconsin, 58; Chicago, 17Minnesota, 59; Chicago, 16Chicago, 46; Purdue, 29Illinois, 58; Chicago, 17WATER POLOChicago, 5; Wisconsin, 3Chicago, 1 1 ; Purdue, oChicago, 13; Illinois, 3GYMNASTICSChicago, 1243.25; Ohio, 1107Chicago, 1241.50; Iowa, 1067.75Chicago, 1247.75; Wisconsin, 1099Chicago, 1242; Illinois, 1199Chicago, 1042; Minnesota, 954FENGINGChicago, 16; Ohio, 1Chicago, 13; Northwestern, 4Chicago, 13; Wisconsin, 4Chicago, io; Illinois, 7WRESTLINGPenn State, 25 ; Chicago, 3Lehigh, 22; Chicago, 8Franklin & Marshall, 18; Chicago, 18Chicago, 23 ; Michigan State, 1 1Wisconsin, 17; Chicago, 11 Those are the statistics; now for theinterpretation. The record for the monthin basketball shows a plucky and undis-couraged basketball team providing the big"upset" of the conference season by beat-ing Wisconsin; the track team scoring thefirst Maroon track victory over Michigansince 1905; the gymnastic, fencing, andwater polo teams undefeated, and thewrestling team wrestlefs evidently not en-gaging in "fixed" bouts.What the victory over Princeton was tothe football season, the defeat of Wisconsinwas to the basketball year in the way ofcheer to the Chicago stands. A teamwrecked time and again by injuries and in-eligibility carne with a rush in the lastthree minutes to defeat the second placeBadgers, and there was a thrill in the performance beyond the excitement of a rallythat scored ten rapid points. Coach Nor-gren and his boys have had plenty ofcourage, but it took seven games to givethe shattered team skill enough to win. Inexperience, ability and physical size, thecontrast between Chicago and the rest ofthe conference this season has been pathetic.Yet the team has been coming along steadilyif slowly. With basket luck it might wellhave beaten Illinois, and it played the greatPurdue machine off its feet during thesecond half. "Slim" Boesel, the 19 yearold center, who is stili in the overgrownawkwardness of immaturity, has progressedsurprisingly. At first he acted as if theball were a hot rivet, but he was a painfulannoyance to "Stretch" Murphy of Purdue,and he stopped Captain "Bud" Foster, keyto Wisconsin's attack, with a single basket.Mr. Boesel of basketball and Mr. BenWattenberg, the phenomenal forward passerwho was so nearsighted that he passed byear, are submitted as exhibits in support ofthe contention that Chicago coaches aremasters in developing material. In theirraw state, neither of these two would havebeen allowed inside the locker room of anyother school in the Big Ten. Anderson,ATHLETICS 267who played a fine game at forward againstWisconsin weighs 140 pounds, and wearsglasses in addition. Stephenson, a 150pounder who succeeded the injured Yates,had a bad knee and was able to play againstthe Badgers for less than flve minutes. Buthe made the most of his time, scoring eightpoints so fast that he threw Wisconsin intoa panie.» « wThe track team got started badly in itsfirst meet, the Quadrangular, largely because the men were not used to spikes.They trained on the wood surface of Bart-lett for a meet in the Northwestern fieldhouse, and couldn't get adjusted. Andamong other breaks, Root failed to jumpthe gun with the rest of the field in thefinal of the dash; Haydon fell over the finalhurdle, while leading safely, and Weavercould not get the form in the shot. Hathaway, a first rate quarter miler, was de-clared ineligible, so the mile relay team isnot the same. Unusually mild weather per-mitted Merriam to work the men outdoorsfor a week before the Michigan meet, theresult being a victory. Cassie and Stewart,the high jumpers, and Hai Cowley, polevaulter, who had no outdoor pit to use, werenot able to perform up to standard, butChicago men carne through in other eventsto offset these losses, Dale Letts won boththe 880 and the mile; East trimmed Tolanin the dash ; Haydon set a new record in thehigh hurdles, and Weaver another in theshot put, his 46 feet, 7^ inches being hisbest effort of the season. The conferenceindoor championships come March 8 atMinneapolis, but Chicago hardly figures towin. Such a happy result is possible, butnot probable.wwwIt will be noted that in such sports asgymnastics and fencing, where ali of thecoaches generally start from scratch withuntrained material, Chicago is more than holding its own. Year in and year out DanHoffer turns out crack gymnasts. Thisyear is no exception. He has two men,Captain Jack Menzies, national all-aroundchampion, and Everett Olson, a sophomore,who are practically a team in themselves;Phillips, a good third man, and Bromund,a specialist in club swinging. In fencing,R. V. Merrill consistently has good teams ;this year his men have won easily. In waterpolo, which is a sport practically non-existent outside of the colleges, Ed Mac-Gillivray produces teams that defeat rivalscomposed of much better swimmers. Inmore popular sports, such as football, basket-ball and baseball, where there is considera-ble trained high school talent — whichgenerally goes elsewhere — Chicago does justas fine a job of development. But thehandicap is so great, and the season so short,that it is not until near the end of theschedule that the coaching effort shows.The best football game Chicago played wasthat against Washington; the best basket-ball game so far was that against Wisconsin ;the ball team does not begin to play eifec-tually until June.« » wChicago's football team will go east toplay Yale in 1932, Director Stagg has an-nounced. The Blue team comes here nextseason, breaking a policy of long standingto honor Mr. Stagg's "forty years ofsignificant service to the best interests ofcollege athletics."Nelson Norgren, head coach in basket-ball, will take over the coaching of the baseball team this Spring, fìlling the place leftby the resignation of H. O. Crisler."Norgie" had charge of the team for severalseasons before Crisler was made varsitycoach. He will lead the club to Japan thissummer, his second trip to the islands ascoach, in addition to another as a player.ALUMNI AFFAI R SMilwaukeeTHE ALUMNI meeting of February7 at the Walrus Club was much enjoyed by the seventy to eighty memberspresent.

Mr. Stagg was the lifeof the party, and we ali left with feelingthat Coach Stagg is truly a 'Grand OldMan/ "268ALUMNI AFFAIRS 269PortlandMEETING of University of Chicagoalumni was held on Saturday, January25, 1930, at the Multnomah Hotel, Port-land5 Oregon.

We quote the report of Hugo B. Anderson:"We had a very enjoyable luncheon atthe University Club, which was attended bythirty-two of the locai alumni. Every onewho attended expressed himself as beingdelighted to have the contact with the OldMan again, and he gave us a very interest-ing talk on the developments at the University of Chicago and our relations to theUniversity. Among other things, he calledattention to the fact that most of those sit-ting around the table were old timers andtold us very emphatically that if we had theright kind of 'intestinal fortitude' wewould see to it that some young fellowsfrom this community were attending Chicago and representing Chicago in the community as well as ali us old doctors andlawyers. The Old Man can talk to usthat way and get away with it. So everyone agreed and no offense was taken. Ihope the advice will be taken to heart andthat we may be able to get some of ouryounger blood back to the University ofChicago." Chicago Botany AlumniThe Christmas vacation meetings of theBotanical Society of America have becomeoccasions for reunions on the part of theChicago Botany alumni.
