During no year in the pastdecade have there been more enthusiastic class and association meetings nor meetings more largely attended. Under the chairmanship ofFred E. Law the entire reunionprogram was most delightfullystaged.The events of Reunion Day werereminiscent of former years. TheAlumnae Breakfast was a charmingaffair lasting, as usual, until well intothe afternoon. Class reunions and theHitchcock Hall tea filled the hoursuntil Frank O'Hara presented hisAlumni Revue for 1934 in the lateafternoon. The Sunset Supper wasa great success,— one of those startlingsuccesses to the committee in charge,with half again as many in attendance as had been expected from theadvance reservations. The eveningwas devoted to the 24th Annual University Sing, preceded by a band concert and followed by the inductionof aides and marshals and by the annual presentation of the "C"blankets. An audience of ten thousand gave evidence of the continuinginterest in the far famed Sing andalumni from Atlantic to the Pacificheard part of the program over anational broadcasting chain.During the first year of the University the desire, among both students and teachers, to be of serviceto the community began to seek expression. It quickly found this in theestablishment of the University Settlement. Founded in January, 1894its accomplishments have been mostnoteworthy. We are pleased to bringyou a story of its work by one of thestudent residents.TABLE OF CONTENTSMIDSUMMER, 1934PAGEForty Years Back of the Yards, LeonardNathan 299Sixteen in '94, Charlotte Capen Eckhart. 302Alumni: Behold Our Alma Mater,Ethel Kawin 304An Air Cruise into History 306Summae for Five, Winston Ashley 308In My Opinion 310News of the Quadrangles 312Athletics , ... 316Class Reunions 320News of the Classes and Associations. .322 At least seven alumnae buttonholed the editor on the afternoonof Reunion Day and suggested,argued or demanded that the Magazine publish the delightful reminiscences of Charlotte CapenEckhart as presented to the alumnaeat their reunion breakfast.

The Universityalso stands "back of the yards" and there too it addsdignity to a neighborhood of homes less fine, of streetswith only a few scrawny trees, of families lacking opportunity—a neighborhood where poverty and want hoverlike sentinel devils.For forty years the University has helped bring neigh-borliness and friendship to a neighborhood of changing population groups and shifting loyalties.Forty years ago "back of the yards" was a festeringsore in a city where wealth and luxury were displayedwith gaudy prominence. Visitors to the Columbian exposition were dazzled by the stone castles of the lakeshore, by the jewels and gowns, by the dapper carriages.But the visitors never went "back of the yards."There high board sidewalks lined rutted, unpavedstreets. Nauseating odors rose from the putrid slimeof Bubbly creek. To the west was the great garbage heap,foul smelling, a haven for disease. From the stockyardsblew the ever-present odor of warm blood and deadflesh.No wonder people called it the jungle. Some of itsperils were unknown even to the densest of jungles.Parisitic politicians preyed upon unsuspecting immigrants coming to the "land of promise." Dirt, filth, disease— all prevalent, all adding to the dangers which besetthe bewildered newcomer.Here they had come, those husky peasants, lookingfor the streets that were supposedly paved with gold.And they found streets with no pavement at all.Miss McDowell had come from Hull House to takeover the direction of the newly-organized University ofChicago Settlement which was being established in foursmall rooms on the second floor rear of a Gross Avenuetenement."No social climber ever moved into a 'swell neighborhood' with a keener desire to become one of the elite"than Miss McDowell when she first moved down intoPackingtown. It was not an easy task to gain the confidence of people whom adversity had taught to besuspicious. It was disheartening indeed to see the hastily-built houses, crowded with enormous families and devoid of garden space, the filthy alleys alive with ratsand maggots, the muddy streets, the rows of Ashlandand Gross avenue saloons filled with workers. And theodors— one never escaped them. Miss McDowell and herco-workers had to ignore them but she didn't forgetthey were there.To those four rooms came sullen men, stolid women,under-nourished children— all very old, all having a feeling of bewilderment. Unimaginative, resigned, yet sensitive of the position which they could not better becausethey lacked so much, they tried to fit into the sociallife at the Settlement. To a woman whose childhoodhad been spent in the pleasant Ohio river valley andwho had recently come from the culture of a universitytown, things looked very tragic indeed. The children"back of the yards" had only a meager repertoire ofgames. They never played the romantic, swaggering,imaginative games that country folk know.But in these rooms life took on a little more meaning.The people regained a little of the spirit they onceknew. They found an outlet for their talents. And theylearned something of a new spirit— a spirit that was tofind its way not only into the community "back of theyards" but into the city, the nation, and across the seas.This was the spirit of neighborliness, understanding,and sympathy combined with an idea that poverty wasnot necessary.In a short time the Settlement was forced to moveto larger quarters, four flats above a feed store on Ashland Avenue. The neighbors sang and danced. Theyorganized cultural groups. Already the women of theSettlement organizations had gone through the neighborhood with petitions for a bathhouse which they decided their neighborhood needed. Politicians glancedindifferently at the petitions and added a few moreinsults to the group they had hurled at the people there.But they were finally convinced and the bathhousestands across from the Settlement and still serves theneighborhood.In 1899 the building which is now used as the girls'gymnasium was built as a recreation hall and buildingby building was added until 1931 when the Boys' building was erected.Members of the University community came to helpwith the organization of recreation, picnics, plays, public299300 THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINEMary E. McDowellforums, and with the host of other activities. Some livedat the Settlement and became part of the neighborhood.Lasting friendships between the. people of the Universityand the people "back of the yards" were made.Here came Professor Thomas G. Masaryk with theunderstanding and sympathy that has made him a greatman and the idol of Czechoslovakia. The Bohemiansflocked to the Settlement to talk to him and they understood him. So taken was he with the spirit of the Settlement that he sent his daughter, Alice, to live there tolearn something of the people. Through the efforts ofAlice Masaryk the public welfare system of Czechoslovakia has become a model for the rest of the world;and it was at the University Settlement she learnedher first social work by cleaning up the alleys "back ofthe yards" with the Clean City Club, a group of boysof which she was group leader. No wonder the Slovakianpeasants, who formerly witnessed the royal ladies ofthe old days ride forth armed for the hunt, are amazedby the new "crown princess" who comes forth from hersummer castle to talk sanitation and health.It didn't take long for Miss McDowell to realize thatthe Settlement was something more than just a socialcenter. The work and recreation was fine for them butthe filth of the community was sickening. A sanitaryinspector dared say, "what's one more smell in thisneighborhood" or a politician expressed the sentiment,"the people there are not sensitive" but they never lived"back of the yards." At that time one out of every threechildren born in the neighborhood died. It was a struggle to raise any child. And the people were sensitive.The garbage heap had to go. Dripping uncovered garbage wagons rumbled past the Settlement day afterday. Husky women gleaned the heap for trinkets andwood. The mosquitoes and poisonous insects bred inthe garbage and swarmed over the neighborhood. TheSettlement first tried organizing a hospital unit for thecare of the new-born infants.A filthy political situation and the usual indifferenceof the more comfortably situated kept the garbage heapin the midst of a thickly-populated neighborhood. Sofor two decades the fight against the garbage heapwent on. No wonder the Settlement movement has beentermed the most intelligent phase of the social movement of the past generation. Miss McDowell talked toclubs, throughout the city; she read monograph aftermonograph on the subject of garbage disposal; she wentto Europe to study the garbage disposal systems. Thepublic took an interest in her work. She was proud ofher title the "garbage lady." Twenty years it took— butthe garbage heap has gone.In the same way the Settlement and Miss McDowellhave hammered against the selfishness of the interestswhich keep Bubbly creek, the stagnant arm of theriver that is filled with the stockyards waste. Progresshas been made and Bubbly creek is doomed. But progress is very slow in Chicago.No one can live back of the yards without soon learning the full significance of the word "job" and the auraof sacredness attached to the phrase "steady job." In 1904the Settlement found itself in the midst of the famousStockyards strike. Poor wages, the lack of assurance ofsteady employment had demoralized the workers of theneighborhood. The unions, which some of the moreignorant considered the means by which foreigners wereto dispossess the Americans of America, were recognizedby Miss McDowell to be stabilizing influences in thelives of the workers. Through the unions the men andwomen were receiving a real understanding of civicduty. She did not reach her conclusions hastily but onlyafter a study of the stockyards unions. It took couragefor the Settlement to oppose those who helped supportit. But the Settlement was part of the neighborhood.It recognized the justification of the strike.The city recognized the influence of the Settlementwhen Miss McDowell was appointed Commissioner ofPublic Welfare during a wave of reform and it was shewho made that office mean something besides a nameon the roster of city officials which the party in powermight use to reward the faithful.To some the era of Settlements is a passing phase ofAmerican life. But to the folks "back of the yards"the Settlement is a part of their existence. To many itis a second home; to some it is really home and theywould gladly eat and sleep there if such accommodations were possible.The nationality groups have changed. The originalIrish and German workers gave way to the Bohemiansand the Bohemians to the Poles. Now the Mexicans aregradually coming into the neighborhood. With eachchange the Settlement must adapt itself to new customs,to an understanding of strange traditions.The depression has added to the work of the Settlement. Jobless men and women crowd the caseworkers'office for help in finding a job— any sort of a job.Children left school and came to the warmth of theTHE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINE 301Settlement. Unemployed councils were organized. Arrangements were made for boys and girls to go backto school. While relief agencies were adapting themselves to the great increase in the relief load, the Settlement along with other settlements had to aid the neighborhood. Food was gotten; clothes were sent to theneedy. Cooperation with the emergency agencies hasnecessitated newer changes.The streets back of the yards are paved and the sidewalks are wide and concrete. The garbage heap is goneand Bubbly creek is cleaned off ever so often. But theproblems of the neighborhood still persist. The Settlement must act as parents to children whose homes arebroken; whose fathers have deserted in time of stress;whose parents are drunkards; whose homes are filledwith countless unwanted children. St. Charles reformatory daily receives toughened, cussing, bold youngsterswhom a little sympathy would have saved. In the Settlement children apt to find an outlet for their energies incrime are carefully watched. They are given the littleattention they as humans demand. They are treated ashuman beings and not beaten every time they turnaround. In the workshop, in the art classes, in handcraft groups they find expression for their talents. TheSettlement can't do much. Yet whatever it has donehas had a profound effect on many a young life.Outside the social workers' office rows of people sitwaiting to tell their troubles to a willing listener-stories of deserting mates; evictions; lost jobs; babiesbitten by rats; bad neighbors. A doctor attends to themedical needs of the people and a lawyer helps withthe countless legal difficulties into which the peopleare constantly getting themselves.In the gymnasiums lithe young bodies rush back andforth in a basketball game or women cushioned withrolls of fat attempt once more to regain their youthfulfigures. Young boys and girls crowd the gamerooms. The champion ping pong player brags about his prowessand challenges every newcomer.Nimble-fingered Bohemian women follow intricatepatterns to produce the delicate lace which has madetheir country famous. Or in the weaving room joblessPolish men and artistic Mexican women sit at theirlooms.And they all love to dance. Quick-footed Polishyouths swing around to the lilting rhythm of theKrakowiak. Bohemian ladies in their starched laceskirts, their red stockings, and big lace bonnets dancethe intricate but graceful dances of their Europeanvillages.At a Mexican fiesta the neighborhood eats tortillas,crisp tostadas, peppery tamales. The gaily dressed musicians play the quaint songs of the ranches as the dancersswing into the rhythm. The Mexican shows interest inthe dancing of the Poles; the Poles applaud the Bohemians.The work of the Settlement goes on. It does not makeone bid for fame and then become silent. Miss Carroll,the executive head of the Settlement, has been activein Washington in organizing a new national adult education program. To Miss McDowell have come manydecorations from foreign governments.The problems of a Settlement are many. It plays amultiple role— the good neighbor, the recreation center,the family physician, the legal adviser. Whenever thepeople of the Settlement look out over their neighborhood and realize the task which is a Settlement house's,they understand how the University of Chicago Settlement has flourished for forty years by reading JaneAddams' words, "The Settlement must be grounded inthe Philosophy whose foundation is on the solidarityof the human race, a philosophy which will not waverwhen the race happens to be represented by a drunkenwoman or an idiot boy."The University Settlement with a Part of its Public. The Addition on the Right is theGymnasiumSIXTEEN IN '94• By CHARLOTTE CAPEN ECKHART, '98IT IS not easy to reconstruct for you from wistful,happy, grateful memories, a picture of early dayson the campus. My own youth is so closely interwoven with the youth of the University that it seemsthat they are of one fabric. I must ask you to turn youreyes back into the past, and walk with me up the stonesteps of the original Foster Hall. My ring of the doorbell was answered by dear old Hannah, for many yearshead maid of Foster, who opened the door to let meenter. I carried in one hand a piece of luggage calleda telescope. It could be adjusted, according to need, toa fat or lean contour, and it was awkward to carry. Inthe other hand I held my small purse and my umbrella.I was garnished for the occasion, for I wore my firstadult dress, the skirt lined stiffly with hair cloth andtouching the ground all the way around. The separatewaist and high collar were boned thickly with whalebone. My small hat was held fast to my psyche knot bythree uncompromising hat pins, and arranged carefullyin a nose-dive position. I had had a miserable five hourtrain ride in my uncomfortable garments, though prideand whale bone had done much to sustain me. That is,I was proud, except when I inadvertently sat on mypocket, which was sewed into a side seam of my skirt.In the bottom of that pocket was pinned with safetypins, my money and jewelry. Above the zone of pinswere my handkerchief and other knick-knacks. It wTasreassuring to feel the pressure of the valuable bulk ofthis collection. I was sixteen years old, and enteringthe University of Chicago with one major's credit. Thedate was October first, 1894. Hannah led the way upthe oak staircase to my room. Everything about thebuilding was new and shining except the fine old furniture and rugs on the first floor. It was only as the duskcame on, and I watched the lamplighter come downthe empty stretches of Lexington Avenue, that I beganto lose that spirit of exaltation which had been mine atfirst. There were lights in Dr. Harper's new houseacross the street, and a few feeble gleams from the gasjets of Kelly and Beecher Halls. Except for these, therewere no buildings that I could see on either side of thestreet. Across the Midway there wasn't much of a vieweither. There was any amount of World's Fair debristo be cleared away. Beyond the president's house theprairie stretched unbroken as far east as the DelPradoHotel, and on the south side of the Midway, except fora few cheap apartments along the Illinois Central tracks,there was a shabby vacancy reaching to Stony IslandAvenue.I was keen to start to work and the next morning Ileft early for the dean's office in Cobb Hall. There wasa wooden walk, leading from the three women's dormitories, to Cobb and the little group of men's buildingsto the south of it. A few scrub oaks were the campusdecoration. Snell Hall stood like an orphan far to theright on the same axis. Ryerson and Kent were alreadyhousing fine laboratories and a brilliant faculty— and Walker -was nearly completed, and there was a rudimentary library building in one corner of the campus.One of the first things required was a consultation withMiss Kate Anderson in the Woman's gymnasium. Thisbuilding I finally found on the corner of 57th and Lexington. It was of common brick, a temporary buildingwith a galvanized iron roof, that might easily have beenoverlooked. The physical examination was conductedwith decorum while the young woman of that periodwas clad in a large long garment like a sandwich board,entirely modest except for its split side seams. We didnot remove our stays while exercising, and I wish youcould have seen our gymnasium suits.The very fact that we were living in an isolated groupof buildings, and that the city was difficult of accessgave a solidarity to the early group of students, particularly to the women. If we wished to go to Chicago,we walked from the halls to the Illinois Central or tothe cable cars on 55th Street. Kintz's livery on 53rdStreet could furnish a brougham and pair but hiringa carriage was not a casual proceeding, nor was it inexpensive. Besides, the horses were not sent out instormy weather. These carriages were reserved weeksin advance by our escorts for the large formal promenades, but were never used for small social affairs. Ourhigh black street shoes were designed for use and we1did not suffer from lack of exercise.There was a grand group of girls in Foster. Everyevening after dinner we spent a half hour downstairsusually sitting in front of an open fire or in Miss Reynold's charming sitting room. Sometimes Alice Freeman Palmer, who was called from the presidency ofWellesley to start the social life of the campus womenupon the right path, talked to us. Miss Reynolds, avivid person with a keen sense of humor, as head ofFoster Hall had a marvelous influence upon all of us.She asked many interesting people to come and explaintheir work while we drank our after-dinner coffee. Istill remember one guest, a young man who had cometo the University for research work to complete hisDoctor's thesis. He spoke at length one evening on thetheme to which he was devoted— the habits and lifehistory of a parasite (Latin name long ago forgotten)which preys upon the larger intestine of the white ant.Miss Talbot of Kelly and Miss Wallace of BeecherHall were women of impressive and distinctive personalities who could not fail to leave a lasting impresson all those who fortunately came under their benigninfluence.We got a tremendous thrill out of all social activities,from the regular Monday afternoon "at homes" ofBeecher, Kelly and Foster, which were always crowded,to the Settlement Benefits and Fraternity and ClubParties and university affairs. One of the big events ofthe year was the Thanksgiving football game. If youwere a lucky person, you achieved an invitation to attend this on a tally-ho. There was an odd technique to302THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINE 303be carried out. Your escort called for you at Foster atabout 12:30 o'clock. You walked together the wholearctic length of the Midway to take the Illinois Centraltrain for Chicago— disembarking at Van Buren Street.A short walk was again taken to the Parmelee liverystable, situated near the present People's Gas Building,where the tally-ho was waiting— six black horses in silverharness, the eager passengers climbing to seats on thetop by means of short ladders, Chicago pennants flying,a bugler in livery behind, and two men in silver buttonson the box. Then followed a drive back to the campusover the indifferent pavements of the South Side, withall the dash of a John Gilpin. By 2:15 P.M.— nearlytwo hours after leaving the campus— all reached StaggField two blocks from our original starting point, halffrozen but enthusiastic, and saw the game through tothe end. And so on. It never occurred to us that oursleigh rides and skating in the park, or spring picnicsand bicycling by the lake were simple amusements.They constituted the general social activities of the genteel young lady of the gay nineties.But if we can smile a little wistfully at these frivolousmemories, certainly we cannot have a feeling of condescension when it comes to the consideration of theFrederick E. LawGeneral Chairman for the 1934 AlumniReunion scholastic work we did, or the quality of the men whotaught us. Only to think of the courses offered theundergraduate of these years, by the faculty which Dr.Harper had engaged for his new university, must givea real thrill to even a young modern. Dr. Von Hoist;Dr. Chamberlin; Richard Moulton; John Coulter; William Gardner Hale; J. Lawrence Laughlin; AlbertMichelson; Paul Shorey; John Dewey; Dr. Breasted;James R. Angell; George E. Vincent; and Dean Judsonwere only part of the men who, in those days of oursmall classes, and of their youthful enthusiasm for teaching, gave us their best in scholarship and in friendship.If our life was a simple one, and our amusements naivein those days, I cannot find it in my heart to be anything but thankful. We were wrapped up in the general activities of the University. Our daily classes wereheld by men now internationally recognized. And perhaps best of all we had opportunity to have frequentcontact with one really great man, who knew each ofus by name and gave us his personal interest and encouragement. He was approachable, modest, magnificent as executive and scholar. If I could give you atoast I would ask you to drink standing: To the firstPresident— William Rainey Harper.Donald S. TrumbullPresident of the College Alumni Association and Chairman of the Alumni CouncilALUMNI: BEHOLD OUR ALMA MATERImpressions of the 1934 Conference• By ETHEL KAWIN, '11, AM'25THE genuine greatness of the University of Chicago and the vital contribution which it canmake, and is making, to the welfare of our nation in this crucial period— these were the outstandingimpressions which I carried away from the sessions ofthe Fourth Annual Alumni Conference. In more thantwenty years of varied associations with my Alma Materit has commanded my respect, my affection, and myloyalty, but never before have I been so deeply impressed with the greatness of the institution as in thismost recent contact with it.I found myself wondering whether this heightenedappreciation might be attributed to the development ofthe University itself, to the changing times throughwhich we are passing, or to changes within myself. I believe all three contributed to my feeling. The Universityhas been experimenting, moving "forward into untriedpaths, at a most unusual rate during the past five years;the crucial times through which the entire world ispassing are challenging the intelligence and the knowledge of mankind as never before within our memories;and I, like many others, have come to realize morekeenly than I had previously, the vital importance tothe world of the so-called "institutions of higher learning." If we cannot look to trained minds for the understanding and the light which will lead us out of chaos,where shall we seek them?Some eighty or ninety of us who had the good fortuneto be delegates or visitors to this conference came together, on the mornings of June seventh, eighth, andninth, in the pleasant and comfortable lounge of JudsonCourt. As we sat, quiet and relaxed in easy chairs, therewas presented to us (orally) a panorama of our AlmaMater as she is in 1934. We saw the University from manydifferent points of view, ranging from that of PresidentHutchins himself to those of several undergraduates,and from the viewpoints of administrative officers whomust grapple day by day with the practical problemsof education to the long, mellow perspectives of researchprofessors for whom "a thousand years are as a singleday."I wish it might have been possible for that experience to be shared by the thousands of fellow alumniscattered far and near. It is of great importance thesedays— both to the University and to its Alumni— thatthe men and women who have graduated from Chicagoin the past should know and understand their AlmaMater as she is today. This was brought home to usclearly by the frank and stirring talk in which PresidentHutchins made us realize that the University needs itsAlumni as never before.I suppose most of us feel a sense of closeness to individuals or organizations that need us. But colleges anduniversities have in the past tended to stress only theireconomic need of their former students— and appealsfor help which are exclusively financial in character may repel rather than attract. Obviously, the Presidentcould not exclude the financial aspect of the problemtoday, when our university is for the first time moredependent upon income from tuition fees than uponincome from endowment. Yet while he pointed outthat all the financial help we can give is needed, hestressed other aspects more heavily. We are needed asan understanding and informed body of men andwomen who will help to bring promising students tothe University campus from near and far. Even moreimportant is it— since the University will by its owngreatness draw its student groups— that we constitute astrong alumni body which will help the universitiesgenerally to carry on the great fight for academic freedom which looms ahead.Those of us who know the University of Chicagorealize fully, as the President pointed out, that thereare found within its faculty almost all varieties ofopinion and points of view in every field in which differences are possible. One of the glorious things aboutour Alma Mater has been that on the same campus onwhich numerous chapels have arisen, with several affiliated theological seminaries, a student may also findthe most progressive scientific teaching in the land.Many of us, watching the European scene, have aboutconcluded that life would scarcely be worth the livingin a land where men may not say what they think andcan not teach what they believe. With a faculty including men who represent almost the total range ofopinions held by thinking people, it is not possibleto agree with what is said by all of them; but if democracy is to survive we must insist upon their right to sayit, whether we agree or not. It was obvious that ourPresident is prepared to make the fight, but he will needthe support of a loyal alumni body to carry our AlmaMater through to victory.It is not possible, in the brief report I have been askedto write, even to mention all the interesting speakerswho contributed to that panoramic review of the University presented to us. Elsewhere in these pages thefull program is printed. There were no dull momentsin any session, from the cordial words of welcome extended to us by the Alumni Secretary and the thrillingnew "movies" released for our benefit by ProfessorHarvey Lemon, to the discussions of the final meetingat which alumni themselves "spoke up." Those of us—and we are many— who have long wished to rally toour Alma Mater for causes other than (or at least additional to) a football victory or defeat, or a typicalalumni gathering devoted to the "way back when"recitals, found plenty to arouse our interest in and devotion to our Alma of today. I can mention here only afew of the high spots which most impressed me.Had we been inclined to question Dean Boucher'sstatement that the quality of undergraduate studentshas been steadily rising, the five undergraduates who304THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINE 3«5talked to us would have been a convincing exhibit.With poise and ease of address that were a delight toencounter, they vividly and intelligently discussed the"new plan" pro and con. On the whole, they wereenthusiastically in favor of it. They stressed advantageswhich made some of us "old grads" glow with the feeling that at last many of our cherished dreams of whatan education should mean are coming true. Theytalked of education as the development of "independentpersonalities"; they stressed the value of the new basicSurvey Courses in giving to educated men and women"a common frame of reference"; they expressed themselves as finding in the new plan that happy middleground which avoids both educational anarchy andeducational compulsion. And— most of all— they stressedthe new plan as an instrument which gives even theFreshman a direct contact with the great scholars andoutstanding personalities who have made the University faculty renowned throughout the world.But criticism was not wanting. If these five outstanding young students were a "picked group," they certainly were not "primed"! To many of us it seems agreat day when students can stand before faculty members and administrative officers of a university and saywith candor what they think is wrong with the educational system and how they think it may be improved.The brunt of the criticism fell, as might be expected,upon the Examination System, which is the crucial andprobably still the weakest point in "the new plan." Togrant degrees on a basis of a student's qualificationsand achievements, rather than chiefly on the length of time he has spent in college, is certainly a forward step,but the whple new plan will be just as good— or as poor—as the examination system which can be developed totest these qualifications. The faculty is keenly aware ofthis; after every examination there is a detailed analysisof its results and a revision which attempts to make thenext one better. Along with this, methods of instruction in every field are being constantly and very critically studied for their relative effectiveness.Among the highlights of the conference was a talk byDr. Henry S. Houghton, Director of the UniversityClinics. We did not wonder that when Vice-PresidentWoodward met him traveling in the Orient he hadmarked him as one of those whose services our AlmaMater must secure. One cannot attempt to put beforeyou here the perspective and the understanding whichDr. Houghton gave us of the pressing problems ofmedical education, medical costs, and hospital administration, which are of vital interest to every one of ustoday. One finds hope that under such leadership eventhe complex problems with which the medical profession finds itself confronted today may reach solution.In this same session, at which Dean Filbey presided,we looked at man and his world through the eyes of thedistinguished (and "delightfully human") anthropologist, Professor Fay Cooper Cole, and considered thefundamental concepts involved in education versusindoctrination, as presented by Professor Harry D.Gideonse.These stimulating discussions make one long to be a(Continued on page 311)\ \Miss Kawin Learning about Child Psychology From ClemenciaAN AIR FLIGHT THROUGH HISTORYTHE Theater of International House was filled.Every seat was taken well before the appointedhour for opening the June Alumni Assembly—the open house session in connection with AnnualAlumni Conference. Admission was by ticket, and thelast of the tickets had been given out nearly a weekbefore the assembly. Hundreds of applications fortickets had of necessity been refused for the alumni hadanticipated a momentous program, and in this case theadvance publicity had been all too modest.June 8 was an evening long to be remembered. Sweetmusic by the Midway Singers, presented with thatspontaneity and artistry for which they are noted. provided a fitting introduction to the program that followed.Thornton Wilder who during his life on the quadrangles has won for himself a warm spot in the heartsof both students and faculty members made his firstappearance before the University alumni choosing as hissubject Hollywood and the Movies. Mr. Wilder entertained his audience for forty-five minutes with a scintillating address upon the cinema— its history, itsaccomplishments and its possibilities. His talk waspeculiarly appropriate as it was followed by the premiere showing of the Oriental Institute's eight-reel talking motion picture, The Human Adventure, shownthrough the generosity of Doctor James H. Breastedand introduced by Charles Breasted. Nearly three years in the actual making, the picturesummarizes not only the work of the Institute's 14 expeditions in Egypt, Palestine, Syria, Anatolia, Assyria,Babylonia, and Persia, but the lifetime of brilliantarchaeological study of Doctor Breasted, Director of theInstitute. Charles Breasted, executive secretary, whodirected the production and narrates the running story,twice made aeroplane trips of 3,000 miles with a cameraman to photograph the ruins and restoration of buriedcities that were once civilization's birthplace in the Near* East.Man's groping climb from prehistoric savagery ispictured in broad sweeps from Stone Age hunters, theirhouses and cooking utensils, through thousands of yearsthat saw the rise and fall of mighty empires and greatrulers. It is told also in trivial details that sharpen theunderlying theme— the transiency of material civilization: by the chickens pecking in the great hall of Xerxes,and the footprint left by a wandering mongrel in thesoft clay of a paving slab set out in the sun to dry afterit had received the imprimatur of Sargon the Second'sroyal seal.The stables where Solomon, king and horse trader,kept his blooded horses; an 1100 ton granite obelisk,abandoned because of a flaw, after slaves had wearilycut it out by literally pulverizing the granite with stonesheld between their hands; the temple at Karnak whichwas under construction for 2,000 years, and the mag-The Oriental Institute's flying tour comes down at Persepolis306THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINE 3«7nificently sculptured double staircase of the ancientPersian palace at Persepolis, are incidents in this dramaof man's progress.Prefaced by a brief pictorial presentation of Man'sevolution, and an interpretation by Dr. Breasted of thelost story of civilization, the camera record begins withthe prehistoric survey of the Stone Age hunters, remote ancestors of the pyramid builders, forced to theNile by the climatic changes which turned nearly a thirdof Africa into the great Sahara Desert.In sequence is the work at the site of the ancientEgyptian cemetery called Sakkara, where from 3,000B.C. Memphis buried its dead. At Luxor, 360 miles tothe south, where ancient Thebes stood, the Institute iscopying the vast library of historical records inscribed onthe walls of the enormous Theban temples, principallythose of Medient Habu and the neighboring temple ofKarnak. The "layer cake" of civilizations at the moundof Megiddo— the Armageddon of the Bible-guardingthe pass through which invading forces have marchedfrom Africa to Asia since the beginning of time, isshown at the Solomonic level.From Megiddo the story continues to the Syrian expedition near Antioch, where two ancient Syrian citiesare being completely excavated. At ancient Alishar, ata depth of a hundred feet, the expedition discovered thefoundations of a Stone Age house, with a roof supportstill standing on its stone base. At successively higherlevels, were the records of the Copper Age, the BronzeAge, and finally the Iron Age, surmounted by thefoundations of a Christian chapel of about 300-500 a.d.From Alishar, the flight into history moves eastward to Khorsabad, where about 720 b.c. the Assyrian emperor, Sargon II, founded a city a mile square.He reigned only seventeen years, his vast town scarcelysurviving him. The great buildings collapsedand the existence of the city was forgotten until 90years ago.It was here that the Oriental Institute excavated thefamous winged bull, now in its Museum. It was herealso that the stray dog left his footprint for posterityalong with the imprint of Sargon's seal. The king'sspacious bathroom, recessed for a tub of modern shape,probably stolen for its bronze or even precious metals,is exposed again after twenty-six centuries.The Babylonian era is shown by the work of the Iraqexpedition, operating at Tell Asmar, 30 miles northeastof Baghdad. When Tell Asmar 4,000 years ago was thecapital city of the earliest great civilization in Asia, thenow desolate land was a flourishing garden area. Thelayers of adobe mud, formed by the disintegration ofbuildings by rains, have preserved much of the ancientcity and its clay tablet records.Last of the four great oriental empires with which thepicture is concerned is the Persian. At Persepolis are theruins of the tremendous palaces of Darius and Xerxes.Here the expedition forces live in the restored harempalace. The fifty-foot terrace wall, with blocks weighing over forty tons, from which the emperors reviewedtheir troops, still remains. There is also the statelysculptured double stairway to the royal audience hall.Miles of underground drainage tunnels, laid out in advance of the actual construction of the city, provide anearly example of city planning.Program of the Fourth Alumni ConferenceThursday, June 79-12 The University and Its College, Vice PresidentWoodward, presidingWhat the College Is Offering, Dean C.

Thisis the fourteenth competition for the prize which was established by Horace Spencer Fiske inmemory of his father John Billings Fiske. We publish but a part of the poem.IN MY OPINIONBy FRED B. MILLETT, PhD '31, Associate Professor of EnglishDESPITE a hearty antipathy for parlor games, Ican not conceal the fact that, acting on a suggestion from I. A. Richards, I have devised asedentary game which promises no little amusement anda little intellectual profit. It requires, as all guessingcontests seem to do, an adequate supply of writing paperand a neatly sharpened pencil (or a soundless typewriter) for each player. The host must also provideeach guest with a neatly typed copy of a short poemthe value. of which seems reasonably certain. Possiblythe best means of starting with something like criticalcertainty is to select an obscure poem by a poet witha good sound reputation. Such a choice will, at any rate,prevent any palpitations as to the unreliability of one'sown critical taste. Each player, having received his poemand his critical equipment, is given forty-five minutes-no more and no less— in which to record his criticalanalysis and judgment of the poem. The fun comes in(although most parlor games seem designed to eliminaterather than to promote good clean fun), when the judgments are compared or, as is more likely, contrasted.To illustrate the playing of such a game, I present herewith bona fide results from the submission, to an interested group, of the following verses:O little feet! that such long yearsMust wander on through hopes and fears,Must ache and bleed beneath your load;I, nearer to the wayside innWhere toil shall cease and rest begin,Am weary, thinking of your road!O little hands! that, weak or strong,Have still to serve or rule so long,Have still so long to give or ask;I, who so much with book and penHave toiled among my fellow-men,Am weary, thinking of your task.O little hearts! that throb and beatWith such impatient, feverish heat,Such limitless and strong desires;Mine, that so long has glowed and burned,With passions into ashes turned,Now covers and conceals its fires.O little souls! as pure and whiteAnd crystalline as rays of lightDirect from heaven, their source divine;Refracted through the mist of years,How red my setting sun appears,How lurid looks this soul of mine!On the not unimportant matter of the content ofthese verses, the range in judgments was, perhaps,slightest. There was general recognition of the common-placeness of the thought, but to some readers this seemedan asset rather than a liability. Perhaps the most enthusiastic approbation appears in this personally sympathetic response: "Many a similar serious parent, teacher, aunt, or uncle has thought with the poet, particularlysince the debacles of 1914 and 1929, since hope seemsdead, and opportunity gone." Less enthusiastic judgments appear in such observations as "The thought,while not profound, is unified and clear" and "Thethought element is not new. It probably has been expressed, time and again, down through the ages." Aneasy confusion of content and form leads to the remarkthat "I do not regard the sentiment as commonplace,though it has often been expressed in somewhat thesame fashion, for it does have a touch of smoothnessand feeling which does not strike me as being insincere,though somewhat lofty." A hint of disapprobation begins to appear in the comment that "The poet repeatsthe thoughts which most of us have at some time had,that the child's life is all before him, and that we shouldlike him to miss some of its hardships. But the philosophy of life is too sombre."On the score of content, the dissenting chorus wasless numerous but more vociferous. The coolest-headedof the dissenters remarked that "There is no subtletyto confuse, nor originality to startle the lover of thecommonplace." A warmer hostility spoke in the judgment that "The poet's attitude toward life is weak-kneed and jelly-spined." Perhaps the most irreverentof verdicts was that "the author's vision was nothingmore nor less than the revelation that the old graymare is not what she once was. So universal an ideademands, nay shrieks, for an inversely careful and subtlydifferent elaboration."Inevitably the metrical form of this poetic offeringprovoked a diversity of comments. The most enthusiastic critic wrote, "The iambic tetrameter, movingsteadily and evenly along, carries out the ideas of themarch of time and of the trudge of feet— weary feet,not light skipping ones." Somewhat less enthusiasticis the observation that the metre of "this little poemdoes not strike me as being unsuited to the sentiment,nor objectionable, because there is no variation."Another approving critic testified that "The rhythm,the iambic, the natural rhythm of the vernacular, suitsthe poet's mood and theme." But not all the listeningears were equally soothed. One pair found that "Theaccentual element is so predominant that to read thepoem aloud in anything but a 'sing-song' manner wouldbe almost impossible." Even greater severity is manifestin the unkind generalization that "The sentimental-verse public likes to read its lineste dum | te dum | te dum | te dum | te dum |with a definite pause at the end of each line. In thematter of end-stopped lines, this writer has consequentlybeen most generous." One exuberant radical wished tosay "with great emphasis, that the verse is doggerel.,,But it was on the score of the poem's figurative language that an even wider spread of critical opinion wasmade manifest. The most delighted critic, perhaps, wasthe one who felt that "The figurative language in whichthe poem is written is an adornment. To read the last310THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINEstanza, comparing the souls of a young child and anaged man is a delight." But this judgment is less considerable than one which supports itself with fullerevidence: "There is vivid imagery in three of thestanzas: death described as a wayside inn; passions, asfires which have burned themselves out and turned toashes; children's souls as crystalline white rays of light,and the close of the poet's life as a sunset viewed througha mist."The critical corner is turned with the succinct assertions, "The images are without freshness, novelty, orindividuality. They are all common and consequentlyflat and vapid." But this is not the ultimately condemnatory. Elsewhere, we read, "The writer's symbols seemto me almost offensive in their elaborate vulgarity. Theyare not symbols of a life lived either poorly or well.They are merely the frosting on the cookie, and ratherthin frosting at that."Obviously the problem of the poem's sentimentalityor lack of sentimentality was bound to precipitate debate. Almost every respondent recognized the dangerof sentimentality in this piece, and a few thought thatthe sentimentality was somewhat warranted. The mostsympathetic reader was, perhaps, the one who wrote,"Now many a one is wearied, and, therefore, glad thatthe 'wayside inn' is nearer each day (Now, I'm gettingsentimental!)." One auditor, after defending the poem'stechnical merits, collapsed into the hostile camp, wTith"In spite of all its technical merits, I find myself reacting against the poem as a piece of sentimentalism." Thequestion of the sincerity or insincerity of the poet'sfeeling was clearly involved. The benefit of the doubtwas granted in the conclusion that "The author, nodoubt, was most sincere in writing this poem; with tearful eyes, and a lump in his throat, he probably'wrenched' this work of art out of his full heart. Never theless, it is altogether too sentimental to appeal to me."But immediately the benefit of the doubt was withdrawn by a writer who felt that "There is an insincerityof emotion that colors— or discolors— the thought. Thepoet seems to be dramatizing his situation, feeling sorryfor himself and very conscious of the emotion he thinkshe feels."In the final evaluations, the poem was estimated asgood, mediocre, or very bad. The kindest judgment isheard in the generalization that "If the test of a goodpoem is its power to create in the reader a certain atmosphere or emotional reaction, this is a good one." Asecond judge decreed, "This poem is for me very mediocre"; a third condemned it "because it fails to elevatethe soul." A fourth attempted to assign it to its appropriate niche,— "This is a poem that because of itsobviousness and trite expression might quite well appear in the pages of The Ladies Home Journal or GoodHousekeeping. The neatest of all the verdicts, perhaps,runs, "This type of sentimental verse is written for aparticular class of readers, and for them it may servethe same purpose that poetry does for those of widerliterary experience and finer perceptions."No player in this critical game recognized the poem,though several came close to identifying it. By one commentator, it was compared with Longfellow's "I shot anarrow into the air." In another, the poem stimulated anelaborate fantasy: "As one peruses, one sees Alice,Allegra, and Edith tiptoeing back and forth, becomingbusy with their little hands; one sees the poet watchingthem, and, true to his puritanical training, becomingintrospective." The most assured allocation placed thepoem as "a bit better than Edgar Guest at his best, anda bit worse than the worst verses ever turned out byHenry Longfellow."As a matter of fact, the poem is Longfellow's.Alumni: Behold Our Alma Mater(Continued from page 305)student again. The world and its knowledge havemoved on many paces since mature alumni went to college; we need to keep on studying if we are even to stayibreast of it all. We may well say, like the Red Queenin Alice in Wonderland, "Here, you see, it takes all therunning you can do to keep in the same place." Andthe latest announcement of our Alma Mater transportsthis desire to be a student again from the vague realm ofwistful longing or "wishful thinking" to the reality of1 genuine possibility. For now comes the University'satest provision that under a newly developed plan ofidult education which admits "students at large," anyqualified individual not seeking a degree may register:or courses hither and yon— to follow his educationalnterests and needs, untrammeled by degree restrictions.If you come back to take advantage of these new)pportunities— and it is to be hoped that Alumni will,n large numbers— you will not find the same universityion knew as an undergraduate. There have beenIrastic changes and others are in process; not all ofhem produce the desired results and some experimentsire quickly abandoned. Some things are gone which'ou have cherished, but there are many compensations. Things are on the move! That peaceful inertia of theacademic world, remote and secluded in its ivory towers,with which many of us long since grew impatient, hasbeen disturbed. Departmental barriers which forced anarrow specialization making for compartment-mindedstudents have at last begun to topple, and there is arestless stirring throughout the campus, a wholesomeunrest.Yes, we agreed at the Alumni Conference, it is a greatuniversity. It stands as a vital expression of what theworld so needs today— the courage to venture into un-tracked places upon untried paths, a faith in the futureso firm that there is a readiness to initiate the unprecedented even though the risk of traditional order be involved. Such a university will give to youth— and to itsmature Alumni who keep contact with it— what everyman and woman must have in order to be a constructiveforce in the present social and economic crisis: "thecourage of the mind not bound."Yes, we may sing it with renewed vigor:"Her battlemented towers shall rise,Beneath the hope-filled Western skies;We praise our Alma Mater."NEWS OF THE QUADRANGLESaLUMNI magazines of the leading American uni-/\ versities have been pointing with temperateX \ pride, in their recent issues, to the latest"Hughes" report on graduate instruction in thiscountry. There are as many ways of interpreting thereport as there are institutions; but however you lookat it, the result is not unsatisfactory to the local Chicagopride.For two years the Committee on Graduate Instruction of the American Council on Education has beenconducting its inquiry, under the chairmanship of Dr.Raymond M. Hughes, president of Iowa State College.The report, published early this year, represents theverdict of over 2,000 scholars. In 1925, Dr. Hughes, thenpresident of Miami University, directed a somewhatsimilar evaluation, in which Chicago and Harvard received the best ranking.In the current report, the Hughes committee selected35 fields of knowledge most generally offered in universities, and asked a jury of one 'hundred scholars ineach of these fields to name those institutions which havestaff and equipment adequate to prepare candidates forthe doctorate. Each expert also was instructed to designate the universities in his field which had the bestdepartments— roughly the highest 20% of those adequate—for a "distinguished" rating. A majority vote wasrequired for the "adequate" and the "distinguished"ranking.No one university offered work in all 35 fields votedupon; none covered the full range of engineering, agricultural, and arts, literature and science courses. Sixty-three institutions were voted adequate in one or moreof the 35 fields. Chicago was rated adequate in everyfield in which it is represented— 26 in all. In 21 of the 26fields it was rated distinguished. Of institutions whichhad more than half of the 35 fields ranked, the Universityof Chicago had the highest percentage of distinguisheddepartments among those which it had and which weregiven rating. Harvard and Columbia, as might be expected, were given very high ratings. Surprises to thisobserver were the excellent showings of California,which had 31 adequate departments, of which 21 wererated distinguished; Wisconsin, which had 31 adequatedepartments, with 17 distinguished; and Princeton,which had the best batting average for what it offers— 17adequate departments, with 14 of them distinguished.Chicago was rated distinguished in the following departments: Anthropology, Astronomy, Bacteriology,Botany, Chemistry, Classics, Economics, Education,English, Geography, Geology, German, History, Mathematics, Physics, Plant Physiology, Political Science,Psychology, Romance Languages, Sociology and Zoology.Adequate ratings were given the newly established department of Fine Arts, and to Genetics, Human Nutrition, Philosophy and Plant Pathology. Chicago offersno work in the other nine fields listed for voting, chieflyagricultural and engineering subjects.Among the fields not listed for voting, in which Chicago offers the Ph.D. and in which it must be regarded as • By JOHN P. HOWE, '27outstanding, are anatomy, Oriental languages, biblicalresearch, philology and several professional fields, notably social service administration. In Genetics and PlantPathology, Chicago does not grant the Ph.D. for thelimited field as such. A student specializing in geneticswould take the degree in Zoology; a student of plantpathology would take the degree in Botany. Yet Chicagohas two of the most distinguished men in these fields,Sewall Wright in genetics and G.K.K. Link in plantpathology.The following table shows the percentage of distinguished to adequate departments among institutionswhich had a considerable number of departmentsranked in the report:Institution Adequate DistinguishedIn InPrinceton 17 14. or 82-3%Chicago 26 si, or 80.7%Harvard 29 *3> or 79-3%Columbia 28 21, or 75-7%California 31 21, or 674%California Instituteof Technology 11 7> or 63.6%Yale 26 16, or 61.5%Cornell 27 16, or 59-2%Wisconsin 31 *7> or 54-8%Michigan 27 14, or 5i-8%Johns Hopkins 24 12, or 50.0%Minnesota 25 8, or 32-0%Pennsylvania 21 4> or 19-0%Ohio State 22 4, or 18.0%Stanford 23 4> or 17-3%Illinois 27 4> or 14.8%Iowa 18 2, or 11.1%Northwestern 15 1, or 6.0%New York 14 0, or 0.0%In the Hughes report of 1925, twenty departments inall the leading American universities were givennumerical rankings by vote of specialists in each field.Chicago in that tabulation had a weighted score of 376points, and Harvard had 371. Eight Chicago departments—those of Botany, French, Geography, Geology,Mathematics, Physics, Sociology, and Spanish— wererated as best in the country. Four other departmentswere given second national ranking; five were in thirdplace, and the lowest of Chicago's departments wasplaced fifth.The recent study of starred scientists, made by Professor Stephen S. Visher of Indiana University, snowedthat Chicago had the greatest number of starredscientists in proportion to its faculty of any Americanuniversity, and was second to Harvard in absolutefigures, despite the comparatively brief existence of Chicago.In 1929, a study directed by Dr. Robert L. Kelly,executive secretary of the Association of American Colleges, showed that the University of Chicago led all otherinstitutions in producing teachers of distinction.312THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINE 313"The faculty and administration of the Universityof Chicago are naturally gratified by this latest testimony to the effectiveness of its work," Vice PresidentFrederic Woodward said in commenting on the Council report. "This estimate of the Chicago faculty showsthe success achieved by the University in its insistenceon being a community of scholars. The ranking ingraduate instruction is significant also for Chicago's college work, not only because it sets the standard forundergraduate instruction, but also because these highranking scholars participate in college teaching underthe New Plan."Students-At- LargeAction which opens the University of Chicago to anyone qualified to profit by its educational opportunitieshas been approved by the University Senate, PresidentHutchins announced last month. Intellectual capacityrather than academic credentials has been made thebasis of admitting as "students-at-large" those who wantan education and are not interested in degrees.In admitting these students, the University becomesthe first major American institution of higher education to provide for a large class heretofore barred byacademic red tape. The action was regarded by thefaculty and administration as a logical extension of theNew Plan reorganization of 1930, which instituted radical new theories of educational qualifications andmethods and swept away traditional restrictions hedging higher education.Enrollment as students-at-large will be permitted anyone who can demonstrate ability and fitness, eitherthrough experience or special training, to do college oruniversity work, regardless of formal qualifications. Thestudents-at-large may attend lecture courses and use thelibrary, and may take seminar type or laboratory courseson recommendation of a dean and the instructor incharge. They will not be enrolled as candidates for degrees, but under the flexible provisions of the New Plan,should they wish to acquire this formal badge of education they will be permitted to take the examinationstesting achievement.In opening the institution to students-at-large, theUniversity authorities were planning particularly fortwo types of students. The first are high school studentsof unusual ability who want freedom to plan and followtheir special educational interests, untrammelled by degree restrictions. Although in the June Convocationone student received a bachelor's degree by completingin two years the college course which ordinarily requires four years, and twelve others received a degreeafter three years of work, it is expected that among thestudents-at-large there will be individuals of even greaterability.The second large group of students who will enrollunder the new classification will be those of an olderage than the high school level, who want to continuetheir education, whether acquired in or out of college.Both college graduates and those who have been barredfrom college because they have lacked the formal prerequisites, although they may have had more thanequivalent training and experience, will be in thisgroup.Tuition fees will be appropriate to the number ofcourses in which the students-at-large wish to participate and to the special facilities, such as laboratories, theymay use.The statement of policy adopted by the Senate was asfollows: "Students, qualified for admission to the University, who are interested in further study but do notdesire to register as candidates for a degree, shall beadmitted as students-at-large in the University and begiven the privilege of attending lecture courses and ofusing the library and such other facilities of the University as the appropriate dean and the instructor mayrecommend."ConvocationDegrees and certificates were awarded to 934 studentsat the June Convocation— the University's 176th. Thenumber of graduates was the greatest for any one convocation in the University's history. Advanced awardswere made to 388 students at the morning section ofthe ceremony and bachelors' degrees were awarded to546 at the afternoon section. The total number of awardsfor the academic year is 1,878, a total of 944 having beenmade at the regular August, December and March convocations. Linton J. Keith of Chicago, who entered theUniversity as a freshman in the autumn of 1932, at age35, won the bachelor's degree after two years of study.Studying largely on his own, Keith completed the requirements for the College certificate, which normallyrequires two years of work, in one year. He took thebaccalaureate examination in the department of English. Thirteen students who entered as freshmen in theautumn of 1931, when the University's New Plan wasinaugurated, received the bachelor's degree after threeyears of study.President Hutchins' Convocation address was devotedchiefly to the problem of the conflict between teachingand research in the work of university faculties. "I thinkwe should proceed gradually and experimentally to establish in the divisions and professional schools, andin some cases between them, research institutes withoutteaching obligations of any kind," he said. "Membersof the faculty would be assigned to them for such portions of their time as they wished to give to research.Only those students would be admitted to the instituteswho were interested in research and qualified to becomeresearch workers. Once admitted they would act as research assistants and secure their training as apprentices.In the institutes, departmental lines would be obliterated. The departments and professional schoolswould remain for professional teaching purposes."I should hope that students in the institutes wouldbe content without degrees. If they had to have themI should reluctantly be willing to try to think up somespecial insignia for them. I see the departments and professional schools continuing to recommend candidatesfor the professional degrees and the M.A. and Ph.D. Isee them continuing to require a certain amount ofresearch for the doctorate. But what I see most clearlyis that the institute plan would disentangle the last remaining complexities raised by the attempt to conducteducation and research in the same institution."The job situation confronting June graduates wasnot as desperate as might be expected. Of 110 graduateswho had registered with the University's Board of Vocational Guidance and Placement for commercial positions, 75 had jobs within a week after convocation. ThisTHE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINErepresented a 60% increase over the figure for 1933. Theincrease was largely due to renewed interest in graduateson the part of large corporations.Future of EducationUnusually successful this year have been the varioussummer conferences sponsored by the University. Theseare the Conference on Business Education, sponsored bythe School of Business; the Institute for AdministrativeOfficers of Higher Institutions, and the Institute for Administrative Officers of Public and Private Schools, bothsponsored by the Department of Education; and thePastors' Institute, sponsored jointly by the DivinitySchool of the University, the Chicago TheologicalSeminary and the Disciples Divinity House. Amongmany thought-provoking papers read before thesegroups that of Professor William F. Ogburn, Universitysociologist, before the Public and Private Schools group,seemed most worthy of pondering.Declining population, the loss by the family of itsfunctions, the increasing volume of civilization, shorterhours in industry, a rising standard of living, increasein wealth, the expansion of government, and technological change which will provide education with newinstruments, are among the social changes that willmean revolutions in the educational system, ProfessorOgburn said."A tendency in business, I think, is the increase ofwealth and income," Professor Ogburn told the conference. "This would seem to be an odd remark to make inthe midst of a depression. I do not want to hold outany particular promises for the next two or three years,but over a quarter of a century one might expect moreincome per capita and a rise in the standard of living.The danger of our standard of living not being raisedlies largely in our economic system; but that has shownto be a fairly tough organization."Whether this increase in wealth will mean moremoney for the schools, however, is a question. Althoughthere will be fewer children in the elementary grades,the expansion of the high schools to include 80 to 90per cent of those of high school age, and thus the consequent expansion of college, will cost money."The second big force here is the competition of otherservices for the taxpayer's dollar. There is not muchdoubt, for instance, but that the American people willgo into social insurance. That will amount to 14 or 15per cent, if judged by European figures, of the total wageearning bill which will have to be paid, most of it bytaxpayers. No doubt as the government expands its functions there will be greater demands on the taxpayer'sdollar, and so education will probably have to continueto fight before the budget committee in the future."Discussing the trend of technological invention andits possible influence on education, Professor Ogburnpointed out that the most impressive growth has beenin transportation, where the automobile, the airplaneand streamline trains are cutting distances. One effect,he said, may be on the distribution of colleges, whichno longer need to be maintained for small areas. Concentration of graduate schools in a few centers may alsoresult from quick passage over distances.Talking pictures have been expensive, Professor Ogburn said, but if educational institutions would adoptthe chain store idea and more, they could have an economic system that would permit more costly devices.Phonograph records which run half an hour, and thepossibility of "talking books" are other devices whichpromise to supplement the teacher."Most of us already know that our population is increasing at a slower rate each year and that it looks asif we are headed for a stationary population in abouti960 or 1970 of 155,000,000 people," the Chicago sociologist said. "I do not know just what that may mean foreducation. The declining increase of population doesslow up the opportunity for teachers, I am sure. Thisslowing up operates to diminish for a time the proportion of the young and to increase the proportion of theold. ^"The family has been losing its functions to thefactory. One of these is the educational function, whichcould be handled by the family pretty well on the farmwhere manual training was natural and physical education was easily available and vocational training wasright at hand. But the school teacher is helping thehome to decline because she competes with the parent inexercising authority over the child and influencing itspersonality— a sort of substitute parent."The trend is toward putting children in school atan earlier age. Each decade the census shows more andmore children of five years of age in school; the lastshowed 20 per cent of that age in school. With one inevery eight married women employed outside the homeand with the chances of this figure reaching one in fouror five, or one in three, I suspect the tendency for theschools to assume jurisdiction over the child's education at earlier years may be expected to increase."The family these days is reported to be a sort ofparking place. During their waking hours the membersof the family spend their time somewhere else; in theschools, on the streets, in the clubs, in the stores, factories, or offices. Naturally, if this tendency continues,the family will lose more of its educational functions.Electricity, however, may bring some of the family functions back to the home. It has put the manufacture ofice in the home; the first time the home has taken workfrom the factory."There are certain things about our culture whichgrow like an exponential curve; at least, they are nowmoving like compound interest. That is true of invention and of scientific discovery. There are, roughly, twopaths which the human race may take to assimilate allthe information that is accumulating in this vast volumeof civilization."One path is that of specialization. How much thistrend may affect the liberal arts colleges is a question,as is the extent of differentiation in the high schools.I think the trend is leading us toward more specializedschools. The other road to assimilation of all this knowledge is through prolongation of education. Our periodof schooling is longer in each succeeding decade. Thetendency to go to school may yet take us up to fortyor fifty years, to be followed by a year or so of efficiencybefore we set into a decline."More of our population are marrying and are marrying at earlier ages, a tendency which might well meanan adjustment of the schools through adult education.The adult education movement has a great obstacle,however, in the competition which recreation offers.While there is a great deal of exaggeration of theTHE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINE 315amount of leisure time, still the influence of shorterhours of labor on adult education may be great. Perhaps then the insatiable thirst of the human race forrecreation may be slaked, and, if and when, adult education may have its day."# # # # #NotesMrs. James H.

The storiesabout the gladiators' vacation jobs to "harden up" forthe season have bloomed and withered in the sportspages these hot July afternoons, and those hardy perennials, the editors and proprietors of the Weekly Bugle,have already indited and mailed to athletic departments their modest requests for six good comps. Talkabout "prospects" grows in volume. There are, ofcourse, those ardent souls for whom the football seasonends on November 25, and then picks up again onDecember 1, who feed voraciously on that star freshman halfback's promise for next season, and toss restlessly at night as they dream of his ineligibility. Forthose experts, the ensuing speculations are not intended. They know all that can be said here; they cansee through the artlessly casual understatement of acandidate's ability which has been dictated in the interest of preserving amicable relations with the coach.Perhaps it might be advisable, for the benefit of thoseamateur customers of this space, to call the roll of thosewho have been graduated. They were: Capt. PeteZimmer and Vinson Sahlin, halfbacks; Walter Maneikis, guard, of the first team; Robert Wallace and William Berg, reserve backs, and Wayne Rapp, reserveguard. But to that normal loss must be added tworegular tackles, Bob Deem and John Rice, both ofwhom, the conference faculty committee has solemnlyruled, have had their three allotted years of competition. Deem played on a junior college team out on thePacific Coast; Rice, as a prep student in a militaryacademy, played on a team which, because of scarcityof opponents, met both high schools and junior colleges. Until these two were definitely lost, the squad'spotentialities might fairly have been described as betterthan last year's. But their ineligibility makes a verymarked difference. Both were effective tackles, andtackles are the key men of the line. Deem was valuablealso because his robust enthusiasm sparked the team.Physically, the Chicago team is big enough to play asuperior brand of football, and its deficiency, if any,is in its lack of the hostile spirit. Deem was happiestwhen some opponent had stepped on his face and supplied the justification for artistic retaliation. His fervorusually was sufficient to get his side of the line, at least, • By WILLIAM V.

No successor as a propagandist is in sight atthis particular time, and football games, like wars, arenot won without stirring of the emotions.But the losses might have been greater. This year, aslast, freshmen and upper classmen alike demonstratedtheir scholastic ability, and ineligibility was at a minimum. The only real loss to the team was that of BobMartin, a handy halfback with weight and speed. Hewould have been useful, but he was not vital. Thereare still half a dozen cases of unfinished business to bedisposed of before the season starts, but either theyoung men concerned are fairly sure to be academicallyacceptable or they are not essential to the team's success.Coach Clark Shaughnessy has one year of experiencein the conference and one year with his squad, to helphim this season. Last year, he had only a few weeks ofspring practice in preparation for the autumn season,which was hardly time enough to evaluate the players.Nor did he have any first hand knowledge of the methods and tactics of the Big Ten opponents. He undoubtedly will profit by what he observed and learnedlast year and will have more definite ideas for the campaign this season.Shaughnessy was clearly handicapped last fall by anundermanned staff. Otto Strohmeier, who had been illin the autumn, returned to coach the ends in springpractice and will have the same assignment this fall.Marchmont Schwartz, Notre Dame's great back, was avaluable addition this spring. Schwartz and JulianLopez will handle the backfield men. Sam Horwitz willtake the middle of the line and Strohmeier the ends.Shaughnessy will devote particular attention to the line.Nelson Norgren will be head freshman coach, assistedby Kyle Anderson and Bill Cassels.There remain this year twelve letter men of 1933-About ten of the reserves and fifteen or so members ofthe freshman squad complete the list of players onwhom Shaughnessy may count. The accompanyingroster will show some changes before October 1, but inthe main it is correct.The most difficulty will come in finding enoughtackles. Merritt Bush is sure to be at one tackle, andhis play in spring practice indicated considerable improvement over his competent work last season.

Sam Whiteside, probably the best of thefreshman linemen, undoubtedly will have to shift fromcenter to tackle. Coach Shaughnessy is banking heavilyon another sophomore, Clarence Wright, to comethrough this fall. Stanley Marynowski, who played inseveral games as a relief last year, will be very usefulthis season.Another little matter to occupy the coach when heis not fretting about the tackles will be the development Glendale, CaliforniaOak Park, IllinoisBowen, ChicagoLaGrange, IllinoisFenwick, Oak ParkElkhart, IndianaEvanston, IllinoisMiddlesex; Chicago, 111.Bowen, ChicagoSouth Haven, MichiganAlton, IllinoisBeverly Hills, CaliforniaElgin, IllinoisEvanston, IllinoisHinsdale, IllinoisEvanston, IllinoisClinton, Iowaof ends. He retains John Baker, Bill Langley, and JohnWomer, but Womer is the only one who has muchweight. Inasmuch as Shaughnessy uses driving ends, astyle that results in much wear and tear, the bigger hisends the better. He has shifted Bob Perretz, the running guard of last season, to end, and the experimentpromises to work. Gordon Peterson, substitute centerlast year, also has been moved over to end and will dovery well there. Peterson is not particularly rugged,however. His older brother, Bartlett, who dropped outof college before completing his freshman year, is back3i8 THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINEagain, and carrying a heavy load of work, all of whichhe must pass to become eligible. "Big" Pete is builton a heavier plan than Gordon. Unquestionably hewould make a first class end for Shaughnessy's game,but if he does become eligible the necessities may demand that he become a tackle. Several sophomores,William Gillerlain, Thomas Kelley, David LeFevre,and Allen Riley, have possibilities, but all are light.With Deem and Rice and Maneikis gone, there isno guard left from last season. Deem was used in theIllinois game at the key spot of running guard on offense, shifting with Rice on defense, and added appreciably to the offensive power. Harmon Meigs, sonof the notable "Babe" of the time of the famous 1905Michigan game; Jack Scruby, son of another well remembered Maroon; and Prescott Jordan, all sophomores, should be adequate to handle the guard positions, however. Raymond Pokela, hurt much of lastseason, and James Gold, reserve, are also good footballplayers.Captain Ell Patterson is the only center in sight atpresent. Shaughnessy will have to develop some mento replace him, and probably will continue to use Whiteside for the job if he can find a spare tackle shouldsubstitution be necessary.This summary is the best guess that can be made atpresent. How the tackles will work out is impossibleto predict. If Wright fails, Shaughnessy will have plentyto think about. At the very best, he has but one experienced tackle, Bush. Whiteside, Wright, and Petersonall have much to learn. Good tackles will make Shaughnessy's ends stand up; poor tackles will make his endplay look very bad. The trite observation that the teamgoes as do the tackles fits very neatly.Apparently the starting backfield will have Ed Cullen,the handy man of 1933, at quarterback; Jay Berwangerat left half; Ewald Nyquist at fullback, and RainwaterWells, the revamped end, at right half. Cullen is notthe fiery kind of quarterback, but Shaughnessy believesthat he has a sense of the fitness of plays to the strategicpossibilities. Berwanger proved last year what he cando, and there is every reason to anticipate that he willbe even more valuable this season. He played betterfootball in each succeeding game, and was a great backagainst Dartmouth. Nyquist, with a year's seasoning,will be more effective this autumn. Wells, who hadflashes of superlative play, but ordinarily was contentto do apprentice jobs, likes the backfield. He is a groundgaining ball carrier, or was in spring practice.Tommy Flinn, Bill Lang, and William Runyan, asophomore, are the quarterback understudies. Langseemed to find himself in the basketball season and hemay be very surprising this fall. Ned Bartlett, a sophomore much of the type of Pete Zimmer, and AdolphSchuessler, along the lines of Vinson Sahlin, attractedconsiderable attention on the freshman team. They areboth untried and there is no question that it will bewell along in the season before they will be of muchvalue. Harry Nacey, freshman two years ago, is eligiblethis time. Not any too big, he is shifty and fast. For theother halfback position there are Bart Smith, movedfrom end last year, but handicapped by the leg brokenin the 1932 Yale game; Paul Whitney, and John Webster, sophomores. Warren Skoning, who came up in the rating this spring, will be Nyquist's competition, withWilliam Bosworth as the other possibility.Passing will be nothing exceptional, but Berwangershould do a better job of his punting this season. Withthe schedule that it faces, the team certainly will needfirst class kicking, for it can not expect to rely entirelyon its running game. Six conference games are a lot fora squad the size of Chicago's, which will have to becarefully handled to last the season out. After the CarrollCollege game on Sept. 29, which will not be difficult,the team has two weeks to prepare for Michigan. TheWolverines have lost a good part of their championshiplineup, but as usual they have a new set all groomed.Next is Indiana, a rugged squad physically, with a newcoach, "Bo" McMillan. Missouri, the opponent of thefollowing week, has not done anything notable in theValley, and will give the team acquaintance with theNotre Dame offense which Purdue will use on StaggField a Saturday later. About the time of the Purduegame the wear and tear on the Chicago men can beexpected to show up. On Nov. 10 the Chicago teamplays Ohio at Columbus, and the next week plays atMinnesota, where it meets the team which right nowseems to be the best in the conference. Illinois, muchstronger than last year, is the final opponent.To anyone who has proceeded this far in the dissertation, it must be obvious that this Chicago footballteam will win no Big Ten championship. It is likelyto be a better team than that of last year and make stillmore progress toward rehabilitation of the Maroon football 'prestige. In the last two years, the personnel ofthe squad has greatly improved over the dreary yearsfrom 1926 on, when the Chicago teams were hopelesslyoutclassed in strength. This team has ability and powerenough to play interesting football and to be dangerouswhenever it plays, in or out of the Big Ten. Mr. Shaughnessy is more intrigued by the offensive aspect of football than its defensive side, and that makes his teamsa good show. If this team clicks, Chicago football, andthe rest of the sports, which will follow in its wake,will be off dead center. The indications are right nowthat the entering freshman class will furnish anotherstrong group of athletes able to meet Chicago academicstandards, and may even be more potent than the lasttwo classes.Notes: The scores since the last issue of the Magazine was published in June are of archaeological interestonly at this late date. The baseball team finished ninthin the conference standing, with four games won andsix lost. So close was the race that coming up to itsfinal game with Wisconsin, the team had a mathematicalchance to tie for third place by defeating the Badgers.Bill Haarlow, shortstop, was unable to make the tripbecause he was studying for examinations. The team'shitting in the Big Ten was light, only three men hitting better than .300. Richard Cochran, shortstop, hit.410; Dave Levin and Ralph Wehling, outfielders, .393.Bill Haarlow, fourth man in the averages, batted only.270. In a contest originated by Coach Kyle Andersonto name the most valuable player in the conference,the Chicago players picked Capt. Ashley Offill, catcher.On vote of eight of the conference coaches, "Whitey"Wistert, Michigan pitcher, was declared the mostvaluable player in the Big Ten, Offill being third toTHE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINE 3!9Vern Wilshire, Indiana's star left handed hurler.The tennis team, with all the Big Ten championshiptitles in its possession, relaxed after the tournament, andlost two of its last four dual matches. Ell Patterson,No. 3, ruptured a blood vessel just before the final trip,and Charles Tyroler, No. 4, was unable to accompanythe team. Max Davidson, conference singles champion,was beaten at Michigan State, his second defeat of theseason, the other having been early in the spring at thehands of Earl Tetting of Northwestern. In the NationalCollegiate tournament in the east, Davidson and TrevorWeiss were put out in the second round of the singles,but went to the quarter-finals, losing to Mako andCastlen, Southern California, the ultimate winners, ina match in which all but a few games went to deuce.In the golf tournament, Capt. Ed Mauerman finishedin fifth place in the individual ranking, and the teamof Mauerman, Young, Baker, and Boehm was seventh.Jimmy Twohig, almost as well known an institutionin Chicago athletics as the "Old Man" himself, voluntarily retired on July 1, and as ground-keeper emerituswill receive a pension, which he himself named. Jimmy'sexact age is unknown even to himself, but the minimumfigure is 83 years. In June, while working on the tenniscourts, he was overcome by heat prostration, and tooka vacation at the urging of Director Metcalf, returningwith the decision to retire from the job that he had heldfor 34 years. Arriving from County Cork, Ireland, in 1883, he went to work in 1884 for the old Universityof Chicago, as coachman and gardener for PresidentGalusha Anderson. After the old University closed in1886, he worked for fourteen years for various prominent families, until Mr. Stagg hired him as athleticgroundskeeper in February, 1900. Jimmy and Mr. Staggboth wielded a rake in those days, side by side, andJimmy's great admiration for the "Old Man" is basednot a little on Mr. Stagg's ability to do a raking jobto the Irishman's satisfaction. Jimmy, a tireless worker,and often an irascible taskmaster for those athletes whohad part-time jobs on the grounds crew, produced oneof the best groomed plants in the country. Both the oldand the new tracks on Stagg Field, and the indoor trackwhich he helped plan, are the fastest in the country.When Stagg Field was turned around, and dirt thatcontained weed seeds was dumped on the football field,Jimmy's complaints echoed for years, until he had exterminated the last blade of quack grass on the turf.Friend and canny judge of Maroon athletes, Jimmyliked to see his "byes" win, and his suffering in recentseasons, at basketball games particularly, has been tragic.Jimmy lives near the University, and he has promisedto drop around every day to see that his successor, AlecKreydich, who has been his assistant for 21 years, keptthings going. To judge by his numerous appearances,except when the ball games are being broadcast, Jimmystill retains a full time job.Information relative to admission prices to all home games for the coming football season andan application blank for season tickets will be found on the inside back cover of this Magazine.TWENTY-FIFTH REUNIONOf the Class of 1 909• By KATHARINE SLAUGHT, '09THE Class of 1909 held itstwenty-fifth anniversary dinner, Friday evening, June 8,at International House. Sixty persons were present— a record attendance for the class. The President,Judge Walter Steffen, called themeeting to order after the firstcourse, and the answers to the roll-call by the Secretary brought manya cheer and laugh. The crowd sanga few old-time songs, Marjorie Dayfavored us with two lovely vocalsolos, and at a few minutes aftereight o'clock all were obliged toleave in order to get the last seats inthe theatre for a view of the famousBreasted film on the History of Man.A small group of about twelve whoremained behind had a grand visit.The roll-call included Al Long,John Schommer (whose cute speechwe never heard), Louis D.

We attended thevaudeville show at Mandel Hall,and then filled four tables at theAlumni Banquet in HutchinsonCommons, where we made ourselvesfelt (or heard) singing "Fourteenwill shine tonight." Next time wehope to have amplifiers to enable usto hear the speakers for Hutchinsonis too large for them to be audiblewithout.

Everybody theretold of interests and accumulated responsibilities of one sort or another,acquired since graduation and muchmerriment resulted from reminiscences. It was with a different feeling that we listened to the list ofdeceased class members, thirty-six inall, and realized that it has beentwenty years.Earle Shilton and Miriam Baldwin Shilton were elected co-chairmenfor our twenty-fifth reunion andmuch enthusiasm was engendered tomake that something to which tolook forward. If, for the twentieth,people came from Wyoming andNew York, and points north andsouth, perhaps for the twenty-fifthwe'll gather them from all over theworld. We felt, as the folder fromthe University in May suggested, asif we really "belonged" and are thericher for feeling ourselves a part ofan institution so great as the University of Chicago.

All those attending the '34 reunion are planning to be present forthe 25th Reunion in 1939.THE FIESTA OF '24DUE to certain dark inferencesk made by an alumni secretary who shall be nameless,the Class of 1924 especially rejoicesin this opportunity to tell the alumniworld about its reunion.As far as the actual reunion isconcerned, we had over fifty who attended the luncheon, with about afifty-fifty split on men and girls. Wecongregated in the reception roomof International House for abouthalf an hour and then went upstairsand enjoyed a very fine luncheon.After the meal we had some informaltalks by different members of theclass as to what they had been doingand prizes were given out to severalof the members.Dan Protheroe won a pipe forhaving lost the most hair during thelast ten years, and a classmate namedBurt Boardman was awarded a beautiful yo-yo for the best mustachedeveloped in the same period. HelenWells received the prize for the committee's judgment as to the memberwith the best chance to become President of the United States, a practicalpair of sun glasses, invaluable for a brain truster in the lime-light. Therewas a prize offered the member withthe most children, but there wasgreat difficulty in awarding it, because twenty-two candidates tied forfirst place, with two children each.We had some class tags printedby Charles Crewdson, Jr., who hasa flourishing printing shop in theUniversity neighborhood.Robert Pollack, who wrote theclass prophecy back in 1 924, made afew remarks, and after an informalbit of chatting the meeting broke upand adjourned to the campus to enjoy the several activities going onthere.An important committee meetingof nineteen male members of theclass occurred during the afternoon,on Harper Avenue, and a very nicetime was had by all until adjourningfor the Sing.In conclusion, the class reports aunique condition of financial solvency, and points with pride to thefact that after ten years of Lou Sterling's financial administration therewas still enough in the treasury topay for the tenth reunion. • By ARTHUR CODY, '24The following members werepresent at luncheon: Julia T.

McELROY, JD '15THE Law School Associationhad the privilege of listeningto one of its own members,the Honorable James Pinckney Pope,JD'09, United States Senator fromIdaho, at its Annual Dinner at theUnion League Club, on the eveningof June 12, 1934.President Charles F. McElroy presided. The attendance was 309, thelargest in the history of the Association except the record breakingmeeting of 1933, when our guest wasJustice Benjamin N. Cardozo of theUnited States Supreme Court. Aboutthirty distinguished lawyers andjudges were present as the guests ofthe University of Chicago.Morton J. Barnard, JD'27, whohas played a leading part in the"Christmas Spirits" of the ChicagoBar Association in recent years, sangtwo songs of his own composition.One was a treatment of the newIllinois Civil Practice Act, and thesecond handled the New Deal. Mr.Barnard not only wrote the wordsbut composed part of the music ofthe second song.The Chairman contended that thebrain trust at the University of Chicago consists of three men who arelawyers, law school teachers, andlaw school Deans-President RobertM. Hutchins, recent Dean of theYale Law School; Vice-PresidentFrederic C Woodward, formerlyDean of the Leland Stanford LawSchool; and Harry A. Bigelow, present Dean of the University of Chicago Law School.President Hutchins was unable tobe present, but Vice-President Woodward spoke for the University, paying his respects to the legalisticmethods by which Dean Bigelowsecures fair treatment for the LawSchool from the administration.Mr. B. Fred Wise, well known onconcert and radio programs, whospent about a year in the law school,sang a group of three songs.Senator Pope's address was a judicial balancing of the conflictingpoints of view in the interpretationof the constitution, as reflected par ticularly in the two recent decisionsof the United States Supreme Courtand dissenting opinions in the Minnesota mortgage foreclosure case andthe New York milk case. Just as inscience much of discovery and invention result from trial and error, soin governmental matters, the Senatorthinks, the same process may justifiably be applied. Although apparentlyno panacea has been discovered, hefinds indications that definite progress out of the depths is being made.He impressed all with the sinceritywith which he is grappling with theproblem in an effort to think thingsthrough rationally and without par-tizanship.In honor of the guest speaker, theclass of 1909 held its twenty-fifthanniversary reunion, attended bytwenty-one members of the class frommany parts of the country. The classwas much in evidence throughoutthe evening, apparently feeling thatit was of considerable importancebecause of numbering a UnitedStates Senator among its membership, and perhaps for other reasons.The President of the class, HarryDale Morgan of Peoria, Illinois, announced a gift of $500.00 from theclass as a scholarship fund.Dean Bigelow in accepting thegift said that he was encouraged bythe reflection that each year someclass would be having a twenty-fifthanniversary. The Dean reviewed theyear at the Law School as to attendance, faculty, curriculum, and otherfactors of interest.The class of 1934 was present, andwas received into membership in theAssociation after a short talk by thePresident of the class, Sam Hassen.The Chairman explained that it hasbecome a tradition in the Association to invite the senior class eachyear to attend the annual banquetas guests of the Association. Inasmuch as there is so little else we canoffer the graduates at this time, itis fitting that we give them a squaremeal, a pat on the back, and an encouraging word as they start on theirdreary search for employment.324 The following officers wereelected:President, Willard L.

Michigan Ave. Boulevard 9700 Form an OrganizationBy EUGENE DE SAVITSCH, '34UNTIL this year, even themost enthusiastic believersin organization could notconceive of an Association of Alumniof the Medical School of the Divisionof Biological Sciences of the University of Chicago. With the graduation of the Class of 1934, however,the number of graduates has reachedthe respectable figure of ninety-eight,and organization of the alumni hasbecome practically a necessity. Dr.W. F. Beswick, of the Class of 1934,in cooperation with Dr. Sam W.Banks of the same vintage, who subsequently assumed most of the responsibility, organized the first classassociation, which then became thenucleus, so to speak, of the newlyformed Alumni Association.In order to create closer relationship between the members of thegroup, as well as the faculty members, monthly dinners were arranged,at which different members of thefaculty were given an opportunityto discuss anything from the pathology of Rocky Mountain SpottedFever to the life of internes atSalpetriere. The success of thesegatherings was sufficient to inspirehope in its leaders that the proposedAlumni Association would actuallynot be stillborn.With a boldness not entirely warranted by previous experiences, Dr.Banks appointed a committee,headed by Dr. C. L. Ficher, '34, whowas given an opportunity to showhis persistence by rounding up allthe stray alumni for a grand gathering, which eventually took place onJune eleventh at InternationalHouse. As only a few students hadany acquaintance with the new headof the clinics, Dr. H. S. Houghtonwas asked to be the principal speaker.An invitation was likewise extendedto Dr. Frank Lillie, Dr. W. H. Taliaferro, and to Dr. B. C. H. Harvey,as well as to representative membersof the other departments. Physiology was represented by Dr. A. J.Carlson; Dr. D. B. Phemister appeared for surgery, Dr. P. R. Cannonfor pathology, Dr. O. H. Robertson for medicine, and Dr. W. J. Dieck-mann for Chicago Lying-in. Themembers of the faculty were askedto express their opinions as to themerits of the school and the organization. Dr. Banks was presiding officer at the dinner, and the climaxwas reached when it was announcedthat Dr. Phemister had been electedunanimously to honorary membership in the class, as the man who, inthe opinion of the class, displayedgreatest interest in the students andcontributed most to the welfare ofthe school. Symbolic of the honorarymembership, Dr. Phemister was presented with a class key, which it ishoped will be the official insigniaof the classes to come.Following the dinner, a generalmeeting of alumni took place, atwhich time Dr. Banks pleaded to berelieved of the duties which he heretofore had so generously assumed.Assistant Professor Normand Hoerrheeded the plea of both Dr. Banksand the rest of the group, and became the first president of the newlyorganized association. Dr. Banks waselected first vice-president, and Dr.Beswick second vice-president, whileDr. J. T. Hauch, who had acted assecretary- treasurer for the 1934 class,was reelected to the same post.Representatives to the AlumniCouncil were elected without muchdifficulty. Dr. Sylvia H. Bensley, whohas the distinction of being the firstgraduate of the School of Medicineof the Division of Biological Sciences,and who had an opportunity to reminisce during the dinner, much tothe delight of everyone present, waselected delegate to the Council. Drs.G. M. Dack and E. H. Fell were theother two delegates elected. At theJuly meeting of the Council, theAlumni Association of the Universityof Chicago will have an opportunityto consider the application of thenewly formed group.Judging from Dr. Hoerr's inaugural remarks, it may be hopedthat under his leadership, the spiritof the organization may have something constructive for its aim.THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINE 329SOCIAL SERVICEADMINISTRATIONA GROUP of 182 former students of the old School ofCivics and the present Schoolmet together at Kansas City for theannual School Breakfast held eachyear during the National Conferenceof Social Work.
