SANGER, AM '28, PhD '34 Signal Corps, U. S. A.SOMETHING like a year and a half has passedsince the Democratic Administration introduced,among other relief measures, the Civilian Conservation Corps. No matter what criticism may be directedagainst these others there seems to have been a wholesaleapproval of the work of the CCC, both for its effect onthe young man, and for the good and lasting results obtained in the conservation of our national resources.Faced with the problem of administering the livesand activities of a full quarter million of young men,the President was forced to call on the organized military forces of the country to take over this part of thetask since there was no other agency which was eitherequipped to handle a mass concentration or which hadthe requisite understanding of the magnitude of theproblem.The Army took over the task of administering theCCC with questionable enthusiasm. The matters ofprocessing, of housing, of feeding and transportingthese boys were not what caused apprehension. Ratherit was the serious problem of managing these three hundred thousand or so young men, many of whom had escaped the discipline of home or routine employment,without the authority to administer routine militarydiscipline. Fortunately, the problem was well on itsIt was the writer's privilege to become associatedwith the Civilian Conservation Corps program with itsoriginal establishment in the Southwest. As the communications officer from the Army, he has arranged forand managed the military agencies of communicationbetween the District Headquarters and all lesser admin-istratwe control points down to the camps. In thiscapacity he has visited many of the camps and all of thesub-idistrict headquarters periodically, during the lasteighteen months. The District includes all of Arizonaand New Mexico and the western or mountainous sections of Texas. His conclusions are necessarily limitedto what he has seen in this section and, therefore, maynot agree with the results observed in other parts ofthe country. way to a satisfactory solution through the good senseof the officer in command and an appreciative responsefrom the men, who knew that some form of obediencewas necessary. The spirit rather than the form itselfbridged what, under normal times, might have been achasm of disaster. In spite of the traditional lawlessness of the unemployed city boy, he proved surprisinglyamenable to routine group discipline and settled downinto the group activity in a very short space of time.The administration of the CCC in the field hasdisproved the old saying that a man cannot serve twomasters. In the CCC, the work day belongs to theForest Service or whatever particular agency is usingthe man ; at night and during meal hours, the boy comesunder the Army. And, on the whole, it has worked outfairly well. It has been an experience almost uniquefor the soldier — an educational advantage which wouldhave been of untold benefit could it have been availablebefore the great mobilization of 1917.While a gratifying amount of conservation workhas been accomplished by these thousands of youngmen, the people are not so much interested in whethertwo million forest trails have been opened as they arein the probable future programs of Forest Conservationwork, and the probable effects of this experiment on theyoung man, on the Forest Service, on the MilitaryService that has administered the camps, and on thefuture national relief policies.Without doubt, the future will show a more wholesome and particular interest in national relief programs.The recent election returns indicate that a nationalpolicy of laissez faire is ended, and that a social reformof far reaching effect is in the making. While manymay doubt the wisdom of some of the relief measures inforce and proposed, all seemingly agree that the spiritof the present Administration represents the principlesof the social reforms desired by a large majority of ourcitizens. The work of the CCC has received nationalapproval. It is not unreasonable to assume that it willbecome a prominent feature of our future national relief and conservation policies. If this assumption is9192 THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINEAdministering the oath to the first group of CCC students atFort Blisscorrect, the people will show an increasing interest inthe extent of the program and the means whereby thiswork may be carried on with the minimum of cost andthe maximum of benefit, as well as in the purely socialfeatures of the plan.As a relief measure, the benefits of scattering theConservation Corps effort has produced a stimulatingresult over a wide section of the Southwest. Smallmountain hamlets and isolated forest villages have received a needed increased market for local products anda healthful and periodic increasing supply of currency.No one section seems to have benefited at the expenseof others. The larger wholesale centers have acted assources of supply for bulk foods, lumber and kindreditems, and the other incidentals needed for a strenuouslife in the forest or hills. The clothing and leathergoods trade has been helped; and the automobile andtransportation companies have been enabled to put menback to work in order to supply the items and servicesdemanded.The purpose of this article, however, is not to discuss the general benefits derived from the Civilian Conservation Corps work, but to point out something of theeffect on the young man himself, and to show where hehas labored and what he has been doing.The first CCC camps of the Southwest comprisedsome 10,000 average American boys, taken largely fromthe plains west of the Mississippi — about equally dividedbetween rural and city groups. Physical examination atthe sources eliminated those who were manifestly unfitfor labor. The chosen ten thousand were divided amongsome fifty camps in Arizona, New Mexico, and WestTexas. The first groups showed the effect of prolongedundernourishment or malnutrition. All evidenced theresults of a somewhat prolonged exposure to the uncertain economic and social conditions of their ownhome towns. A few were pseudo-communistic ; manywere dispirited and dissatisfied, but all seemed to approach this new venture with enthusiasm. The campcommanders recognized that they had the problem ofrestoring physical strength and normal physical habits of eating and living as well as to attempt to bring backa more wholesome attitude toward society at large.The problem of bringing the bodies back to norma]strength was easily solved. First, good food in abundance was supplied with a balancing of the necessarycomponents. The best cooks the Army affords weretaken at once to operate the camp messes. Having beentrained in the proper and economical handling of foodsin bulk, and providing well cooked and tasty meals ona ration of something like 30 cents a day, the CCCmesses, with the increased money allotment, excelled inquality and variety, the meals in an average middle classAmerican home. The writer visited several camps during these opening days and saw lines of boys prepared to dine al fresco on steaks and chops, two or threevegetables, raw fruits in abundance, salads of greens andtomatoes, and desserts of pudding, pies or ice cream.Coffee, tea, cocoa and milk provided either a hot or acold beverage. Some boys filled a 10-inch plate nottwice but three times — and needed it all to satisfy appetites stimulated by mountain air, physical exercise, anda long absence from such satisfying meals. Withinsixty days the demand for "thirds" had ceased, and notover half the boys called for "seconds". Although thefood had improved and lodge-type dining halls had beenconstructed, the boys had been "filled" and only required a normal ration to keep going at maximum efficiency.Before leaving the subject of food, it is worthnoting that many of these supplies had to be hauled bytruck as many as one hundred miles over mountainroads in order to have fresh fruits and vegetables available daily. To meet the need for fresh breads, one enterprising camp commander built old fashioned dutchbake ovens and soon was turning out bread, rolls, cakesand pies of a superior quality in quantities sufficient toprovide other camps with these luxuries. The writersampled cake and rolls that brought back memories ofthe better tea shops in and around Chicago — much better, it may be added, than some of the culinary monstrosities that used to grace the tables at the Commonstoward the end of the summer term.A corps of trained inspectors kept a watchful eyeon the meats and other raw foods and never hesitatedSome boys filled a ten-inch plate, not twice, but three timesTHE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINE 93to prohibit sales to the CCCcamps when there was anyindication that the food wasbelow standard. The verylow rate of intestinal disturbances among the CCCindicates that the food handling from source to finishedproducts on the table wasably done.Because of the shift fromlow altitudes to the mountains and a correspondingdrop in day and night temperatures, it was feared thatthe pneumonia rate mightrise. Every precaution wastaken, both in supplyingproper clothing and in the arrangement of sleeping quarters, to prevent the spread ofcolds and to isolate those infected. Camp hospitals wereset up with skilled surgeonsin charge and a supervisory medical inspection service insured against neglect of either precautions or thesick.Injured men and those who required long hospitalization were evacuated to General Hospitals, whereevery facility was made available to care for the patient.Even an aerial ambulance service was called into playwhen haste was imperative. The low record of sick andwounded cases per thousand was the gratifying resultof this medical service.The work of the men was, and is, under the direction of the Forest Service or some kindred Governmentor State agency. The Army administers the food,housing, clothing, and general welfare of the men; theUsing Service, i.e., the Forest Service, lays out the workprograms and supervises the work.There is not space to give a detailed account of theamount of work done or the several varieties of workundertaken. Those who are interested in this maysecure a copy of the report of the Director of the CCCwhich gives the results textually and by graph in a surprising amount of detail. The work was healthful, productive of good results, and not hazardous. Some fewaccidents have occurred which proved to be the resultof a disregard of instructions or the insatiable curiosityof the young American boy when handling explosives.So well watched were these work programs by the Forest Service or other Governmental official that the actualnumber of accidents is below the normal average forsimilar work in industry. The work has been productive of much good. Unquestionably, had the ForestService been permitted to hire labor locally, in amountsas needed, the actual monetary cost would have beenless. Such a plan, however, would have defeated therelief element which was a large motivating cause forthe program.In this section much of the work done has been inopening mountain trails, preventing forest fires, andRehabilitation Through Beauty preparing camp and parkgrounds for a more generaluse of the people. It hasbeen focused on conservingthe natural resources and inpreparing for an extensionof national and forest parks,so that a larger number ofpeople may enjoy them. Theeconomic results can only beguessed ; but undoubtedlythere will be a considerablesaving in actual moneythrough the conservation ofour forest and grazing lands,and the prevention of disastrous floods which have, inthe past, taken a heavy tollof livestock, homes, and human life.Since the work wasplanned in the mountainareas, most of the campswere located in the almostinaccessible sections of the national forests of the Southwest. The Southwest is justly held to be the land ofromance. Nature was certainly not conservative whenshe formed these deserts and swelling mountains withthe innumerable canyons and rugged cliffs. The brightsun of the Southwest has looked down on many succeeding generations who have lived and died and added theirbit to the civilizations that have come and gone and reappeared in this land. Only the paleontologist and thearcheologist can tell how long ago the civilizations beganand when they died. The land is still primitive and unspoiled. The effect of the impress of such ruggedbeauty and such indescribable variations of the groundon the future lives of these young men is bound to betremjendous. The writer has/ talked with many ofthese boys who have spent some weeks in the mountains.The effect of the environment as an agency for creatinga spiritual awakening of these young men has beenlarge. Very few found mountain life distasteful —many claimed that they did not* want to leave ; manymore showed a much more wholesome social attitudethan when they came, and some attributed this changeto the influences brought by the beauty of the naturalsurroundings. This can be easily understood. Theman who has been brought up in a smoky city full ofnoise and the vibrations of an urban industrial societyand is translated in body and spirit to a mountain wherethe eye can pass over 75 to 100 miles of valley to thenext chain of mountains with its kaleidoscopic effect ofthe changing color shades, where each detail comes outstrongly, is bound to undergo a great awakening. Themajesty of distance makes the petty trials of our modern society seem trivial.It was in this land that Coronado and the other explorers forged their way through the wilderness. Cor-onado's Trail is now dotted with the camps of the CCC.No man can breathe the dust of Coronado and not imbibe some of his resourcefulness and love for the "wide94 THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINEopen spaces". When these boys go back to an urbansociety they will take with them, in addition to theirhealthy bodies, a spirit that has been stimulated andbroadened by the influences of the Coronado Trail,Santa Fe Trail, Mesilla Valley, and other historic highways. One camp was dropped into the bottom of theGrand Canyon where the boys traveled the Kaibab Trailfor three hours, dropping down into the bowels of theearth, there to remain for six months, unless they werewilling to spend six hours in a tiresome climb back tothe mesa rim. Here, in the valley of the Colorado,where the sun rises at 10 in the morning and sets shortlyafter three in the afternoon, some 200 young men wereto clear the river of its trash and obstructions, widentrails, and open up a much larger extent of this naturalwonder, so that others could profit by their labor inthe years to come. It was not an easy task to keep theseyoung men contented. There were no young womenavailable for Saturday night "dates" and the long evenings proved rather tiresome until an educational projectwas started to keep them occupied.Another camp was placed on top of a very highmountain with an unobstructed view for hundreds ofmiles in almost every direction. Here the young mendressed for winter in summer and snow balls were madeon the north side of the cliff even as late as the middleof July. Another camp was set down in the MountainPark south of Phoenix, Arizona, to open up this playground for the benefit of the community where theparks and streets were already too congested for children to play and their elders to have a quiet, old fashioned picnic. Part of this program included the building of a vast stadium at Papago Park, near Phoenix,Arizona, open to all, where religious and other beneficial services could be held. A fish pond was constructed where mountain trout, steel-head and rainbowwere propagated to increase the value of the fishingstreams already renowned as a fisherman's paradise.Another camp, in fact three of them, were nestled downunder the Tonto Rim, where the ghosts of Zane Grey'sdynamic characters ride the mountain trails, and undoubtedly came to visit with these boys. Other campswere located in and around Santa Fe, the cradle ofAmerican white civilization (with due apologies to St.Augustine, Florida), and others in and around the miningcommunities of Globe, Arizona, where there are desolateghost towns bleaching on the hillsides. Not one of the50 camps was located in a dull place or an ugly place, orwhere there was not an immediate response for theinward gratifying for something more beautiful to lookat than the smoke stained windows of a factory. Theseveral photographs included here, many of them takenby the Signal Corps photographic service, are but muteevidence of some of the influences brought to bearin the great spiritual awakening caused by the CCC.. . . Is it worth while?The greatest benefit will not be from the monetarysavings in the conservation of our national forest andgrazing lands, enormous as these savings will be inthe future. Far greater is the saving of a quarter million young men from the despondency and the uglinessof some features of our modern industrial community life. Some of this will be translated into municipal reform and the elimination of ugliness in our towns.Undoubtedly the CCC will become a permanent featureof our national conservation policy. The funds spentnow, and to be spent in the future, are buying muchmore than direct physical relief. If this work is turnedover to the Forest Service it is to be hoped that it willnot be carried on through the hiring of ordinary laborlocally, for the mere purpose of preventing fires or saving agricultural lands from further erosion. While thatwould be worth while, it would be by no means comparable to the benefits to be gained through the enrollment of young men between the ages of 18-25, forperiods not to exceed one year, as part of a youth building national service, as a guarantee against the physicaldecadence of the modern young man which is comingabout slowly but surely with the reduction of the ruralsociety. The Greeks worshipped the healthy body.Modern medicine has demonstrated that the healthybody is the best breeding place for a good spirit and asound mind. There is no question but that the benefits tothe young man with the CCC (over a million of them todate) have been vastly more important because of regular sleeping, eating and recreational habits, and frombeing "exposed" to a reasonable amount of hard physical work.The benefits to society in the future can be measured with some degree of accuracy. The danger ofthese young men participating in political movementswhich would be destructive of our national ideals isremote. There are no candidates for communism inthe CCC. The habits they have formed, and that theyare enjoying, and the benefits to be gained from a balanced diet and regularity of sleeping, will be transmitted by them in some degree to their children. Theimportance of regular medical inspection, not only ofthe body, but of the living place, has been emphasized.There will be less danger in the future from slums andthose awful smelling alleys and back streets that havebecome a nuisance in America. There will also be lessdanger of an unwise exploitation of our national resources. These men will think in terms of the nationrather than in terms of the community in such matters.There is one danger that should be pointed out andthat is that the Civilian Conservation Corps programin the future may become the plaything of politics andan integral part of the "Spoils" System. Such a shiftwould be fatal in its consequences. The main reasonwhy this program has received such an unqualified approval from the American people is the fact that it isexempt from a "Spoils" System and that it has beenadministered by men who have no political affiliation andwho have been brought up on the traditions of scrupulous honesty and an unselfish attention to the wishes oftheir common superior. If the CCC is to become a permanent institution, no better solution could be foundthan that of continuing the present administrative "setup" with a few essential reforms and a wider use ofour Reserve Corps of officers as field commanders. Theservice will be honestly administered and the young menwill discover that the American Army, at least, is notaddicted to the "Goose Step."VOCATIONAL ASPIRATIONSOf Freshmen• By ROBERT C. WOELLNER, AM '24,THERE will be no depression by the time freshmen graduate from college. The normal processesof the work-a-day world will be functioning, andyoung people with ambition, training, and a "will to do"again will be sought by employers. Upon such hopesrest the vocational aspirations of the newcomers to theCollege. Many of them selected a vocation before starting their college work ; others seek vocational counseling ;while a fortunately small group have neither selected, nordesire help in selecting, their future careers. This minority group perhaps hopes for a return of the good olddays when bond selling and college graduation weresynonymous.Vocational information concerning the Freshmenwho entered the College during the last three years(1932, 1933, and 1934) has been recorded by means of aquestionnaire distributed during Freshman Week of eachyear. A digest of the information obtained from thesequestionnaires follows.1. Approximately two-thirds of the Freshmen ofeach class have chosen a vocation.2. About one-third of the Freshmen of each classhave expressed a desire for vocational counseling. Thereseems to be some evidence that the proportion of Freshmen who desire vocational counseling is increasing.3. Proportionately more Freshman men than Freshman women have decided upon a vocation.4. There seems to be no direct correlation betweenage and vocational decision. In 1932 and 1934 more ofthe older Freshmen, and in 1933, more of the youngerFreshmen, had made a choice of vocations.5. There does seem to be a correlation between aknowledge of vocations and vocational decision. Aboutfourteen per cent more of those Freshmen, who had acquired a knowledge of vocations have made decisions,than of those who had acquired no vocational information. More Freshmen had been taught about vocationsthan had not.6. A larger number of Freshmen checked "Reading"than any other item as a source of vocational information. The second largest group checked "As Part of aCourse." "Parents," "A High School Course in Vocations and Careers," and "Other Means" follow in orderof frequency of occurrence. It would seem that thehigh schools are justified in continuing and perhaps expanding their programs of offering students information about vocations.7. Approximately fifty per cent of the Freshmen ofall three classes have chosen one of the three major professions — Law, Medicine, and Education. The sevenmost popular vocations are Law, Medicine, Education,Natural Sciences, Business, Journalism and Social Service, in the order given. Very few changes occur in the relative popularity of these vocations. The variationsthat might be mentioned occur among the women. Thereseems to be an increase, during the three year period, inthe number of Freshman women who have selected Medicine as a career, and a decrease in the number who haveselected Education. The percentages of women who havechosen Journalism show a decrease, while the percentagesof women who have selected Social Service show a rathermarked increase. As would be expected from the foregoing, the order of preference changes with each yearin the case of the women. However, Education is far inthe lead in each instance. Among the Freshman men, theorder of vocational preference reads as follows : Law,Medicine, Natural Sciences, Business, Education, andJournalism. The order is the same for the men of eachFreshman class, and the percentages give little or no evidence of trends.For the most part, the three classes of Freshmen included in the study show amazing similarity in their selection of vocations.In order to assist students who desire counseling inregard to the selection of a vocation, the University ofChicago has done and is doing a number of things. Eachstudent in the College has an "Adviser" with whom hemay confer for counseling. Each student in the Divisions has a departmental "Counselor" for the same purpose. In addition, students are privileged to use the services of the Board of Vocational Guidance and Placement.This administrative unit of the University has assembledfor student use published materials, printed and mimeographed material about vocations and the selections ofvocations, arranged for lectures by faculty and alumnion vocational subjects, and provided for individual conferences with students.By these means, students who so desire may receiveas much sound vocational counseling as it is possible toprovide at the present time. The following outline wasprepared by the author with the hope that it would reachstudents who desire assistance either through advisers,counselors, or through the office of the Board of Vocational Guidance and Placement.SuggestionsAs you realize, no doubt, there are many difficultiesinvolved in attempting to offer vocational counseling tothose who have not chosen their vocation. No personor persons are equipped to tell you in what vocationyou will be happiest, make your largest potential income,or contribute most to the welfare of society. The selection of a vocation, however, is not entirely a matter ofchance. There are some things which you can do foryourself that will be worthwhile to you in making an9596 THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINEintelligent choice of a vocation. The following steps ofprocedure are suggested to you.I. Decide upon what you want most from vocational life. In deciding upon what you want, consideryour abilities and your opportunities. What other menand women have taken into account when thinking aboutvocations is presented in the following references whichare in the bookroom of the offices of the Board of Vocational Guidance and Placement, Room 215, Cobb Hall.Crawford, A.

Do notmake the mistake of assuming that you know about avocation when in reality you have only a partial understanding or merely a prejudice for or against it. Thereare a number of books and pamphlets containing information about vocations. These publications are available to you on the shelves in Cobb 215.

The traditional vocationsare becoming over-crowded. Rapid social and technological changes are creating new lines of work. Thesetwo facts should encourage the college graduate to consider entering newer vocations. These are described inProfessor Pitkin's new book, New Careers for Youth,Simon and Schuster, 1934.

You have been compelled toleave many questions unsolved and many untouched. Itis to be hoped that the work you have done has stimulated you, and trained you, to resolve at least to followout in the future many lines beyond the limits you havereached, and into other fields bordering upon those youhave specially cultivated. Perhaps in these new days ofleisure while waiting for patients, or clients, or pupils,or any kind of a job, you will have opportunity to travelon new roads with the initiative and independence whichthe "new plan" has encouraged in you. Certainly it isone test of any higher education to open to the mindwider vistas of knowledge for mastery and enjoyment.Philosophy is one of those subjects toward which manystudents glance with curiosity but often leave at oneside in order to deal with what they think more practicalthings, or with things that seem more tangible and urgent. There are reasons, however, why educated peopleare likely, in the days ahead, to inquire more eagerlywhat philosophy has to say about life, and how it proceeds to formulate its answers to the crucial questionsthat all thoughtful men ask some time or other. Everyone is aware that the past decades have been characterized by intense specialization. Scholarship, like ourtechnologies and professions, has cultivated intensivelyvery narrow interests. This specialization has been atimely and fruitful procedure, but it has given to academic work the appearance of extremely minute andatomistic research. Even the members of the facultyhave often found amusing compensation, during the routine periods of university convocations, in noting thesubjects of doctors' theses in other than their own departments. A symbol of such minute investigations remains in my mind from association years ago with a colleague in a small college who wrote his thesis for thedoctorate in biology in a German university. His subjectwas "The Nasal Muscles of the Salamander." He wasvery enthusiastic about these particular muscles and feltthat his work on them had helped his science to breathemore easily.There is now a tendency toward synthesis, withoutignoring or minimizing the importance of meticulous, detailed analysis. The synthesis which philosophy undertakes is audaciously inclusive. It is more comprehensivethan an Outline of History, or an Outline of Science.Philosophy ventures to construct an entire cosmology,a thorough-going metaphysics, and a sound theory ofknowledge, as in the work of Professor Whitehead.An age of great system building, apparently, is begin-*The Convocation Address, delivered at the University Chapel, December 18, 1934. ning. There is a very natural and deep-seated desire inthe human mind to see things whole, to grasp the entirescheme of being, and if possible to discern its meaning.People crave the experience of attaining an elevationfrom which the horizon of their vision is thrown back togreater distance, permitting a clearer view of the scenewithin which they live. That is why sky rides are sopopular, and that is one reason why hills and mountainshave such fascination. It has long seemed to me that aflat city like Chicago should build itself a hill to satisfythis craving for far horizons. Building a hill wouldsurely be as justifiable an enterprise for the CWA assome other public works. I have already talked withpublic spirited individuals who were willing to subscribeprivate funds to construct a hill in one of the publicparks of this city where pedestrians and motorists couldrise above the dead level to see the sun set, or to viewthe farther waters of the lake. One function of philosophy is to present life in larger "dimensions and longerperspectives, and to do so, not in mere fancy or unrestrained imagination, but with due regard for the knownfacts, and the observed relations in which they stand.A common complaint about philosophers is that theydifTer so much among themselves that they merely confuse their readers, or else make noisy partisans of theirfollowers. Philosophers themselves, however, reply tothis complaint by saying that particular systems are thework of individual men, employing the materials whichtheir age affords, but with the common purpose of interpreting the world and man's place in it. Philosophersare somewhat like architects who build a great variety ofhouses, using the material at hand, thinking out theirown designs, yet all seeking to provide shelter, comfort,and some degree of harmony and beauty. Differentperiods, and different countries, have their own styles,but houses everywhere have common properties, such asfoundation, roof, doors, and windows. To hear an admirer of Gothic architecture discuss Renaissance architecture might create the impression that Renaissance construction had no security whatever, that it was entirelylacking in both foundation and walls.Philosophy has had a long history, and in its greatestnames, registers one of the impressive, continuing enterprises of mankind. With no false hopes of bringingtheir task to full completion, some men in every generation take up the enterprise anew, adding somethingthrough their criticism and insight, or adding something,too, by their consciousness of failure. Along the highways of all real intellectual adventures ther£ are marksof pick and shovel where roads were attempted but whichbear the sign, No Thoroughfare. And these records ofself-criticism are among the important contributions ofthought.There are three persistent problems with which philosophy concerns itself : first, a vision of reality as com-9798 THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINEprehensive and clear as possible ; second, the examinationand criticism of the processes of knowledge and imagination by which that vision is gained ; and third, the assessment of the meanings and values which appear ormay be discovered in the broadest and most searchingoutlook upon life.The first problem is that commonly called cosmologyand metaphysics, and this reveals the close dependence ofmodern philosophy upon the sciences. The physical sciences have not only given new data concerning the magnitudes of space-time, but they have discovered amazingthings about the structure and behavior of matter in itsminutest forms and most interior depths. The onceseemingly solid nature of the ultimate pellets from whichthe imagery of a materialistic and completely mechanisticconception of the world was drawn has dissolved intoactivities and processes far more refined and complexthan were the atoms of Democritus or any later materialist. The philosopher tries to readjust his conception ofthe universe of objects and events to this new imageryand to the idea of the continuous, and the discontinuous,changes going on. If he has heretofore thought of himself walking or standing on solid rock, it is difficult torealize that the rock is not only porous but actually consists of streams of energy rushing up to its surface andsustaining the pedestrian's feet by beating up againstthem. One may think upon this strange phenomenon until one becomes so obsessed by thought of the fluid,streaming nature of the rock, that he hesitates to stepupon it for fear of sinking into it as into quicksand orflowing vapor. Professor Eddington says, "The external world of physics has thus become a world of shadows. ... In the world of physics we watch a shadowgraph performance of the drama of familiar life. Theshadow of my elbow rests on the shadow table as theshadow ink flows over the shadow paper. It is all symbolic," he says, "and as a symbol the physicist leaves it."In these words is suggested something of the strangelynew views of the world which the physical sciences aredisclosing, views that have scarcely any parallel in thehistory of critical, experimental science in any age ofthe past.No less epoch-making have been the biological sciences. Through the long, patient observation of livingforms, Darwin matured the basic conception of evolution. It is only seventy-five years since the publicationof his Origin of Species, which has so profoundly affected man's outlook upon himself, his relation to allother forms of life, his view of all human experience,and his insight into all processes and institutions ofsociety. Not the least significant is the impression thusgained of the turbulent stream of life in whose depths thepressures, struggles, and conflicts produce such a varietyof creatures in such varying degrees of fitness to survive.The wonder excited by the scene presented, is scarcelygreater over the marvelously efficient adaptations whichoccur where organisms develop a complex, delicatenervous system like that of the human being, or whereother organisms are so imperfectly formed that theyhave little chance to develop or survive. This mixedscene, producing the "believe it or not" marveL of all museums and laboratories, is a vivid answer to all static,or perfectionist doctrines about existence as we nowknow it. Professor Jennings, in his book, The Universeand Life, mentions what he calls an unwelcome but verifiable fact that is important for our picture of life, thefact that life makes many mistakes, tries blind alleys, andwill repeat the same unsuccessful experiment, the sametragic mistake, a hundred times. He says, "Whether westudy the infusorian, the fruit fly, or man, we find produced misshapen creatures, individuals that lack essentialorgans, individuals whose senses are imperfect or wholack certain sense organs ; individuals whose internal organs work but ill, whose intimate chemical processes areimperfect ; individuals whose nervous systems fail to provide guidance." But in other directions, in manybranches of the life tree, growth and progress can continue and do continue. Professor Jennings adds that"Life is transforming now as it has transformed in thepast. . . . The universe is not finished, it is still in themaking ; and what it will produce in the future, we cannot predict."The newest, and in many respects the nearest to human concerns, of all the aspects which the vision of thephilosopher includes, is that presented by the rapidly developing social sciences. The same basic work of careful observation and cautious generalization which havecreated the modern physical and biological sciences, hasbegun to achieve discovery of significant relations andmovements within the field of human society. Here arepresented in great wealth of detail the formation andlife-history of numerous cultures from the simplest tothe most complex. The influences of man's struggle withdifferent climatic and material environments, of racecontacts, of invention and social organization, of movements of reformation, revolution, education, religion, andsystems of ideas, begin to appear in the long perspectivesand changing forms of the whole human world. Studiesof sociology, economics, law, international relations, religion, morals, and art, have revolutionized these subjects and have shown their interdependence. In all thesefields of growth; psvchology, and especially socialpsychology, has played a central role. Men still feel that"the proper study of mankind is man," but the twentiethcentury has gone far beyond the day when Pope madethis assertion, for it is now seen that nothing that happens in nature or society, is unrelated to that study. Itis only of late years that it has become clear how muchthe growth of individual personality is bound up with thegeneral conditions of society, with war and peace, wealthand poverty, crime and order, barbarism and culture.Doubtless this attempt, to suggest what it means forphilosophy to seek a vision of the whole of life will seemto many to convict philosophy of an altogether presumptuous and fantastic enterprise. But there is at handin the educational policy of this great university an impressive answer. Here under the "new plan" not onlystudents who wish to become philosophers, but every student is required to make a survey of the physical, thebiological, the social sciences, and the humanities. Asfurther evidence that the requirement of such an inclusive vision of the world is not chimerical, we have theTHE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINE 99fact that a large number of undergraduates have really achieved it, andhave passed the comprehensive examinations !There is a sense in which philosophy g°es beyond the sciences.Philosophy does not restrict itself bythe boundaries and limits which aspecial science draws around itself.The scientist properly enough, and infact as a necessity for the accomplishment of the best results withinhis field, refuses as a scientist to dealwith all the other sciences with whichhis own subject has connections. Butphilosophy is interested in just theseinterrelations, and employs themethod of science in developing itsmore inclusive generalizations. Accepting the facts and the general conclusions of science, philosophy projects the larger outlook upon the totalscene and ventures to ask for thevalues and the meanings of life. Itsmethod is the scientific method applied to this farthest reach of humanreason and imagination. Modernphilosophy recognizes the tentativeand hypothetical character of its generalizations, and holds them subjectto further testing and revision in thelight of new discoveries and hypotheses of growing science.In this process of self criticism and revision, the instrument employed is that of examined and disciplinedknowledge. It-is knowledge alert with watchful scepticism of its own processes and results, knowledge whichcultivates for this purpose a rigorous logic as its own censor. Intelligence, operating through sharply tested ideas,is the means by which man has risen from the level ofanimal existence, and this intelligence continues in thehighest cultures to be the ground of hope for furtherachievement. It stands guard over the dearly won treasures of civilization against the persistent dangers of bruteimpulse, of superstition, of blind dogmatism, of unreasoning authority, and of uncritical mysticism. In itsconstructive function, imaginative intelligence guides therestless energy of man to discover the means of masteryover nature, to create inventions, social organizations,and works of art. Mr. H. G. Wells, in his Autobiography, characterizes this urge of mankind toward newtypes of life as a desire "to escape from individual immediacies into the less personal activities now increasingin human society." "Essentially," he says, "It is an imposition upon the primary life of a participation in thegreater life of the race as a whole. In studies and studios and laboratories, administrative bureaus and exploring expeditions, a new world is germinated and develops.It is not a repudiation of the old but a vast extension ofit, in a racial synthesis into which individual aims willultimately be absorbed. We originative intellectual work-Harper Tower, haunt of the Philosopher ers are reconditioning human life."For some readers his use of the personal pronoun in this last sentencemay obscure the vital truth it contains, but dropping that pronoun,there remains the statement of a profound observation, "Originative intellectual workers are reconditioninghuman life."While attempting to see life withsome wholeness, and to purifyby criticism the eyes by which theysee, philosophers adventure into thestill more difficult problem of thevalue and the meaning of life. American philosophers have not been pessimists. The idealists, like JosiahRoyce, have recognized bitter, tragicevents as common enough, and havenot minimized the darkness and thepain that mortals experience, but theyhave held that in some ultimate stageor manner of life, the evils are overcome, and possibly made tributory tothe good. Most philosophers in thiscountry are now realists in referenceto the problem of evil, that is, theyagree that it is a very mixed world inwhich are found both goods and evilsfrom the standpoint of human needsand wishes. The favorite word todescribe the general attitude towardlife is neither pessimism nor optimism, but meliorism. Meliorism means the doctrine ofbetter and worse, and implies that at the best thingsmight be better, and that at the worst they might beworse. It is also a growing conviction that somethingcan be done about" both the goods and the evils. Thegoods may be cultivated through knowledge and controlof the conditions in which they arise, very much as gardeners discover what soil, moisture, and light are favorable for desired variations in the cultivation of flowersand fruits. But any gardener knows that this task is noteasy or simple. There are so many pests, so many dangers of blight, of extremes of heat and cold.What, then, is the meaning of life? My answer isthat the end of life is to grow, to grow in knowledge, inachievement, and in enjoyment of growth itself. Thismay be the answer of what Santayana calls "animalfaith," but it is also a faith that continues to live at thehighest levels of life. The plant puts forth its tendrilstoward the light, the animal seeks food, and the humanbeing aspires to satisfy his multiple hungers which springfrom the wide ranges of imagination. There are two olddogmas which deny this conception of the meaning oflife, not to mention the conviction of some that life hasno meaning at all. One is the dogma that human natureis inherently bad and therefore lacking within itself theresources of significant development. Not so many anylonger hold explicitly to this doctrine but the old distrustof the natural man still poisons the currents of thought.100 THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINEIt is an old theological stronghold to which, in the wakeof war and depression, many influential minds are reverting. It rests upon the fallacy that things are either justgood or bad, black or white, with no intermediate tonesof gray. It rests also upon a fact of human nature which,however, may easily be turned to the credit of man, andthis fact is the obvious discrepancy between man's consciousness of the actual and the ideal. In every normalperson the difference between what he actually is orachieves and what he dreams of being or accomplishingmay appear like an impassible gulf. The real self seemsso small and insignificant against the imagined possibilities. Judged from the side of the ideal, the consciousness of failure and imperfection makes any effort appearfutile. The psychologists and the moralists call suchidealism sentimentality, and propose as a cure more realistic, more practical standards for direction of effort.Ideals, they insist, are wholesome when they are reasonable projections of plans and purposes in relation to existing habits and knowledge. Imagination itself needsrestraint in order to find realization of its ends.The other dogma is that human nature cannot bechanged. The apparent growth in civilization and so-called higher culture is said to be only a veneer over thebasic animal inheritance. Only the stress of passion, orsore defeat, is needed to reveal the unchanging, untamedimpulses. This is another form of the despair of human nature, and it has its paralyzing effects in relation to theproblems of popular education, of democracy, of worldpeace, and various social reforms. But the psychologistsare on the side of the possibility of real growth. Theyemphasize the plasticity of human nature. The child maybe "conditioned"; the youth may be reconditioned; andthe adult may be still further reconditioned. It is aproblem of environment, of motivation, of the formation and the re-formation of habit, of building up attitudes toward new personality patterns. One boon whicha college education tends to bestow is the realization thatnew things may be learned, new ideas, new techniques,and new confidence in the possibility of self -stimulationand self-direction.I congratulate you who are graduating today. Youhave experienced much of what I have been calling aphilosophy of life. You have had your horizon of observation broadened, you have learned better how tothink, and you have grown into a larger and richer life.What hints I have given of philosophy as the wisdom oflife, you have found, or may find, elaborated in the professional writings of the great geniuses of the intellectual life, from Plato down to Professor Whitehead.These systems are like master pieces of art. They revealthe heights and the shadows of man's noblest adventures, suggest roadways for life's journey, and offer theenjoyment of endless and rewarding contemplation.Something more beautiful to look at than smoke-stained factory windowsTHE MYSTIC WAYA University Chapel SermonJesus said unto Peter, Simon, son of Jonas, lovestthou met"He saith unto Him, Lord, thou knowest that I lovethee/' St. John 21:61.I HAVE lately been in receipt of a communicationfrom an undergraduate woman in a certain university. She expresses the hope that, as a priest, I mayunderstand youth enough neither to flatter it nor to f earit. "We young people," the letter goes on, "have notmerely eagerness, but inexperience, too; our faith inourselves is probably as foolish as the caution of ourfathers; and we are always too desirous of simplifyingwhat the gods have made complex. This you CatholicEpiscopalian people seem, somehow, to understand."Then she comes to her immediate difficulty. She says sheand many of her friends are sick of the uncertainty abouteverything which comes from disbelief in God and wearyof morals which assume that men are only higher animals. They feel that, if life is to be tolerable, they musthave some grounds of certainty. In her university, sheis at a loss where to turn for guidance. The philosophictutors seem to her like the men who went to sea in a tub.Their craft will not steer. The spiritual leaders roundabout on campus impress her as being so intent on applying religion to problems of ownership, nationality, raceand what not, they ignore the fact, frequently embarrassing to parsons, that she and her kind have next to noreligion to apply and are questioning the validity of thelittle they do possess. Therefore, she writes to me,because Anglo-Catholics seem tO' her — so she says — tohave arrived at a certain peace without ceasing to be freecitizens of the twentieth century. She asks that I tellher "in elementary terms" about how "a man or womanof her generation" may, perhaps, "approach the wholequestion of God."It is a large demand, but one quite legitimate. IfI am indeed a Christian priest it is my business to be ableto tell to her, to tell to myself, to tell to you this morning, something of how to approach the certainty that isof and in God. Without God and that certainty man isof necessity at once a truthseeker and lost in a morassof meaningless becoming. It is impossible to conceiveof a more hopelessly tragic figure than that. Yes, weChristians must expect to be called on by puzzled youthand disillusioned old age alike, for exactly the sort ofguidance that my correspondent seeks. In response, wemust formulate and seek to express the Faith with the.best simplicity and honesty we have within us. It willnot do to talk only about the incidentals of religion,its ornaments, its proprieties, its dogmas, even its consequences, to a world which is asking, with a desperate sortof urgency, whether there be a God at all who may befound by man, or any reason to go on living. • By CANON BERNARD IDDINGS BELL, '07There are two pathways, by one or both of whichone may come to God, for the avoiding of futility, self-pity and despair. There is the path along which onesearches for love, and the path along which one seeks formeaning. The one path is primarily of the emotions,though it has enough of reason in it to enable us toanalyse and weigh our loves; the other is primarily ofthe mind, though there must be in it, too, an emotionaldrive which makes us not merely to think about ananswer to the riddle of life but also passionately to desiresuch an answer. The first is the pathway of the mystic ;the second, the pathway of the theologian. Of the firstlet us think this morning. Let us think today of themystic way. It is the mystic way that attracts more people to God than does the theological. The logical, andtheological, approach to God is not the way that most ofus become religious. The mind God can indeed feed.Theology does greatly matter; but usually only to thosewhose hearts have first been won. Most of us who findGod do so by way of hunger of the heart, and where itends. The brainiest, the most coldly intellectual of us,as well as those more ignorant and simple, know thathunger of the heart, which nothing, no one, seems ableto satisfy.Between human beings in their loves, as persons ofinsight and experience come well to understand, thereare always canyons of division which may not be bridged.Lover reaches out toward mistress, and she to him, butnever wholly to find ; husband and wife partly, but nevercompletely, know unity of self in self ; parents and children remain aliens, for all they care and try to understand ; the dearest friends not only must part, but nevermeet. How much easier it would be if in our loves wewere only animals — content with casual, physical contacts — content across the sexes to mate and procreate,and to let it go at that ! We, because we are human, cannot be so modest in demand. Perhaps we try to be, andsay, "Oh well, there is for me no true romance, in thesense that once I hoped there was, but only somethingless, much less. Though less, what is, is far fromunlovely. I shall make the best of it." But we arenot satisfied with that compromise. Perhaps we thinkthat a new human love will give what old ones do notgive. We try, and find that new loves are very like theold ones, after all. I do not minimize, mind you, thebeauty of human affections. They are wondrous fine,especially when from them we do not expect the impossible ; but they leave us heart-hungry, just the same. Toattain happiness in love, we must lose ourselves in someone who will let us give our all ; and such an one we donot find. We keep on searching, ever asking for thePerfect Lover.The only perfect lover is God. Unless God be102 THE UNIVERSITY OF CFIICAGO MAGAZINEfound, man sinks back at last from his search for heart'sdesire, unsatisfied. How most pathetic it is, of all fates,to give up search for love! And how many men andwomen round about us have come to that — faint shadowsof the men and women they once were! It is not anecessary fate. God can love and be loved with a lovethat is complete. For this end we were made — thatthrough the discipline of human loving we might cometo know at last the love of God, as Francis Thompson,for example, knew it when, after long search for love,in nature and in people, and flight from God throughmany weary years, in the end he heard God say :"All which I took from thee I did but take,Not for thy harms,But that thou might est seek it in My arms.All which thy child's mistakeFancies as lost, I have stored for thee at home;Rise, clasp my hand, and come.3'How may one the most easily and surely come, comeearly enough in life to avoid the long, lean years of loneliness, to God who satisfies the hungry heart? It is byhumbleness that one must come, and then most readilyby sacrament.No one, I am quite sure, has ever found God's loveuntil he has known how undeserving he is of any loveat all. With another human being, there is always inone's love an element of self-esteem. "After all," saysthe man, "I, who love this woman, know well enoughher imperfection. That does not make me care for herthe less, but it does make me know that I am not myself,in turn, wholly unworthy of her love for me." And shesays the same of him. So it is, always, in our humancontacts. If a lover were, indeed, perfection and yetpoured affection on poor us, washing away our faults andmaking them as though, in a flood of understanding, theywere not — how free, how happy, we could be in such aloving! There is no human being who can love and beloved so; but that is indeed the way God loves. Until,in all humility, I know my worthlessness, I can not knowHis love at all. This, too, Francis Thompson understood"Strange, piteous, futile thing,Wherefore should any set thee love apart? ...How little worthy of any love thou art !Whom wilt thou find to love ignoble thee,Save Me, save only Me?"It is hard, you say, for us of today to feel that. Weare too much possessed by conceit, we modern men andwomen. At least we are often told that this is the case.But are we, really? Most of us know moments — andthose our most real moments — when, undisturbed byothers, we have the company only of our own souls;when we know how weak we are, how ignorant, howabsurd, and how alone; when one says, "What am I,O God, that Thou shouldest love me? Yet, if Thoulovest me not, I am indeed face to face with the ultimatedisaster. I dare not ask that Thou shouldst care." Andthen God says, "I care."It is after such moments that one knows the needof sacrament as well as sermon — of sacrament more thansermon. For what are sermons, but groping talk aboutthe things that are beyond all words? Sermons help the reason, it may be, sometimes.; but they do not feedthe heart. God alone can do that; and God is foundmost simply in His Sacrament.I come alone within the silent church; and I knowthat Fie is present. Not in some mighty cataclysm doesHe come, but simply and in kindliness, as once He cameto Bethlehem long ago. In a Body made of bread, asmine is made of flesh, He waits for me. I need not tryto pray, to put my love in words. He knows withoutmy speaking. Again I come, when the church is full offolk, with pageantry and ceremony — concourse of noblesound — smell of sweet incense — while the priest liftsHim high, God who for love of us has lived our lifeand died as we shall die, and lives, and loves ; and prostrate, I adore. Again I come, in the morning early, andat the altar lift my body to receive God's Body — bodyto Body in a noble purity — spirit to Spirit in a great simplicity. Thus by the Sacrament my love for God growsday by day. So may yours grow, I think.His love for me, it can not grow, nor need it grow.Fie loved me when, being yet unformed, I lay in thewomb of my mother. He loved me when in former yearsI did deny Him. He loved me when I forsook Him fordalliance in the gardens of the Beast. He has alwaysloved me. I do indeed love Him; but I am still aneophyte, a foolish child. My love must grow. I donot know that it will ever grow until it is a love like Hisfor me. I think it is not possible. But at least it doesbecome a little more like His, as time goes on ; and mostit grows from Him in that Most Holy Sacrament whichweary pilgrims love ; and as I come to love Him more, Ifind that He and I — love everyone. And life, for all itshardness, is worth while.At the conclusion of the Gospel according to St.John, there is one of the most beautiful chapters in theBible. Its peace follows stress and turmoil. The agonyof God's compassion, in the night before He was betrayed, as John has described it, is indeed an agony — theLord's prayers surging forth in great pulsing intercession from a heart torn with struggle. There follows thetragedy of Calvary, heartbreaking in intensity. Thencomes the ecstasy of Easter. And then — at the very endof this Gospel, a lovely, quiet pastoral. The resurrectedLord meets His pupils beside a lake in Galilee. He summons them ashore from their fishing. He has cookeda meal for them over the coals. "Sit down that we mayeat together," He says. Then, after dinner, around thefire in the sunshine of that April countryside, Jesus turnsto Peter. "Simon," He says, "Do you love Me?" Peterlooks on Him whom a fortnight since he did three timesdeny. "Lord, you know' I love you." There is a momentof silence. Then says Jesus, "Feed my sheep."That is what religion means when one has learnedat last to understand it. For that, God has made us. Forthat Jesus has suffered. For that He has died. Forthat He bears, even now, the wound-prints in the handsand feet and side, that He may say, "Do you love Me?"and that He may hear the answer, "Lord, you know Ilove you." Jesus had loved Simon, the Rock, untilSimon fell in love with Him, and Simon, the headstrongcoward, became Simon the saint. So may it be with Godand us — lest we die.CHRISTMAS AT HUTCHINSONA LAST minute wire of acceptance from SantaClaus, the Midway Singers, a fire in the southfireplace, an illuminated Christmas tree, brightred candles on every table, and pop corn balls stackedhigh on huge silver trays concentrated the Christmasspirit at Hutchinson Commons the night before moststudents left for the holidays. Of course there is an inside story worth telling if we had the time, such asthe mad search for sleigh bells — most of which havedisappeared with the harness shops of the "Way BackWhen" days;an afternoon experimenting with an electric fan anda piece of cardboard to secure an airplane effect —which had to be abandoned as unsatisfactory, necessitatinga rehearsal on the roof, ringing bells, blowing a whistle,yelling "Whoa, Prancer" in a deep bass voice and thendiscovering that B. and G. had sealed all the windowsfor the winter and the sound would not carry throughinto the dining room;the three-day argument as to whether the fireplacesreally have chimneys — searching parties on the roofflashing lights down dark, vertical holes — droppingdangling chains through dusty apertures — yells frombelow — a feeble fire — a dozen curious pairs of eyesstooped in a semi-circle (would the smoke find an outdoor exit or curl threateningly into the room?) — Victory! There are chimneys, thanks to Mr. Hutchinson'sforesight and maybe his belief in Santa Claus ;the midnight shift of pop-corn-ball-makers (how doyou get molasses off rugs and upholstered furniture?) ;a last minute SOS for a load of fireplace wood for afireplace that had never had a fire (or are we wrong?) ;and the final decision that Mr. Claus would have to sitin the north fireplace sheltered by a screen and greenery, to avert suspicion, until time for his arrival (itwould give him half an hour to practice being spontaneous and memorize his ad lib lines while his guestsfinished their turkey dinner).The party was a grand success and the programclicked like an NBC broadcast. The guests were admitted at five-thirty to a beautiful Gothic dining roomlighted by flickering candles. Christmas carols greetedthem from around the Christmas tree where the MidwaySingers were the dinner guests of the University. As thefolks finished dinner they pulled their chairsup around the fire and sat visiting when —"All of a sudden there arose such a clatter . . " and out of the opposite fireplacejingled a fat, jolly old man laughing and yelling "Merry Christmas," the while he prepared to distribute his presents to the PhiBeta Kappa students (presumably the bestchildren).As the carols died away and the candleswere blown out and as the last flickers from > By HOWARD W. MORT, Editor, Tower Topicsthe fireplace played across the vacant circle of chairs,Miss Farquhar suggested to Scotty, the janitor, that hehad better save those extra sticks of wood because herguests had all said they were planning to return againnext year.NelsDirectly back of the toastmaster at the Chicago AlumniClub banquet, which was held at the University Club onthe evening of December thirteenth, hung a maroon blanket containing a large white "C" in a setting of thirteenstars. The original American flag contained thirteenstars but they were white and arranged differently. Wewere sure it wasn't an early Colonial flag. Only three ofthese stars were white, three were blue, three purple andthree were orange. The thirteenth was black. Our curiosity prompted an investigation.This maroon blanket is the well-earned property ofNelson (Nels) Norgren, who graduated from Chicagoin 1914. Each star represents a full season's participation in a college conference sport. Nels won the maximum number of stars in football (white), baseball(blue), basketball (purple), and track (orange). In hissenior year he was captain of an undefeated championfootball squad, which captaincy accounts for the blackstar.Only one other athlete in the history of Chicago hasequalled Norgren's record of thirteen stars since thethree year eligibility rule was established. This was Paul(Shorty) Des Jardien. It is an interesting coincidencethat two of Shorty's three years of athletics wereserved side by side with Nels and in identical sports.Shorty also merited his black star by taking over Nels'job as captain of the football team when Norgren graduated.Upon leaving Chicago, Norgren went to the University of Utah and, in 1916, presented that university witha national A. A. U. football championship after defeating the crack team of the Illinois Athletic Club.In the mean time a World War was in progress andthe Allies needed backfield material so Nels decided toexpend his energies toward winning a more importantvictory. In support of his theory that if you can't makeprogress through the line you should take tothe air he became a lieutenant in the air service.On one of his first solo flights as a cadetin the training camp at San Diego he headedout over the Pacific in one of those old styleopen cockpit planes — the kind where the engine was fitted in around him and he wasfastened in with a safety belt anchored fromone spark plug to another. On the flightsomething happened and everything stopped103104 THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINE<s<r\( £ ^-frft X ## but the plane — which headed suddenly downward toward the Pacific.Nels couldn't figure out what hadhappened but, while waiting for theocean to arrive and, to sort of passthe time, he began casually to fiddlewith the different little gadgets onthe engine spread out before him. Of course this wouldmean another silly star to sew on his blanket — a gold one.He wondered how they could fit it into the present design,which was a neat block, three stars on a side, with theblack one in the center of the "C." If he only had fourlives to give to his country — as the brave song writerswho stayed at home said — there could be a gold star ineach corner without spoiling the design.lie need not have been so concerned for in thisthoughtful mood he casually touched a stray spark plugwith the wire with which he had been toying.

Between three and four hundred attended. Failing to qualify as a University business woman we were not present, but from all reports,the ladies are to be commended for the novel way inwhich they planned and presented the program. LikeMoses, on his rock overlooking Caanan, we were permitted a view of what we missed via the printed program, "The Christmas Jamboreer." Miss Valerie Wick-hem was the editor. (In real life Miss Wickhem isEditor of Official Documents at the University.) Everypage of the "Jamboreer" sparkled with clever and appropriate articles. For example, we will let you read apart of page nine:Won't Santa Send the Alumni Office a Door Bell ?In the Alumni Office, up underthe. eaves of Cobb Hall, a calleris a real event, to be greeted withpomp and circumstance. It maybe that the remoteness has led toa certain informality among theworkers, somewhat akin to' thatof explorers on a desert island.At any rate Josephine Broad wascertainly not expecting a call from the President of the American Alumni Council thatafternoon as she crawled under her desk to do a littleupholstery work. Down in the darkness little Josephineworked, so happy, so busy, humming quietly to herself. . . when a visitor entered without warning. Hecoughed tentatively. The subterranean singing ceased.Tense our heroine waited. The visitor coughed, andcoughed again. Josephine, her duty clear, rose tothe occasion. She stuck her head out of her kennel, andsaid in a businesslike voice: "Mr. Beck has gone forthe day" and retired once more into obscurity.A few days later the Past President of the American Alumni Council met our Alumni Secretary and remarked that he had always known that there was a lotof undercover work done in alumni offices but that hehad never caught anyone at it before.We hope this gets past Editor Beck's desk. Wethink it reflects real credit upon an alumni secretary whoselects such versatile office assistants.Twenty-nine Years AgoJanuary 10, icjo6At 2 :30 PM the American flag on the University flagstaff was lowered to half-mast. Dr. William RaineyHarper, first president of the University of Chicago,had passed away at 2:20 PM. His last prayer hadbeen that in the life to come there might be more workto do and greater things to accomplish. Not a surprising request, to those who knew this man of untiring energy and unselfish ambitions. With his characteristic attention to details he had said on Monday,outlining plans for carrying on after his death, "If Ishould die Wednesday, for instance, the funeral service would be on Sunday." He died the followingWednesday.Is Our Physiognomy Crimson!It wouldn't be quite so embarrassing if, on every possible occasion in the past, we hadn't been so severe inour criticism of the careless habit of the modern reporterwho disregards accuracy in his news stories and articles.We wrote three stories for last month's Magazine.There was a glaring mistake in each. The one about thefrequency with which deer shed their antlers was not,really, our mistake. We knew better but the printerthought we were referring to the number of times thequestion was asked and decided it must be "twice." Thecorrection should read "once each year."The second, we ascribe to our avoidance of mathematical courses in our college career. We had the trainthat was due in Columbus at six-forty arriving fifty minutes late, which was all right if we hadn't brought it inat eight twenty-seven (a few minutes under an hourand fifty minutes behind schedule). The latter figurewas correct, which makes the remaining part of the article more intelligent.But the glaring blunder, for which we have no alibi,was having Teddy Linn and Dr. Harper dedicate thereplica Shanty in 1919. Dr. Harper died in January,1906. We apologize and, with the New Year, resolve tobe more dependable.

Theimpressive list of his honorary degreesand decorations from foreign governments only confirms the value of hiswork. After finishing his study forthe doctor's degree at Chicago in1897, in anthropology, he went to thePhilippines, an anthropologist's paradise, where he became city superintendent of schools of Manila in 1900.The following year he was madechief of the Bureau for Non-Christian Tribes; until 1909 he combinedthis work with that of directing theeducational work of the Islands. Atthis point the University of California enlisted his services, and there heoccupied successively the positions ofDean of the Graduate School, Professor of Political Science, Dean ofthe Faculties, and President of theUniversity, until 1923. During thewar Dr. Barrows distinguished himself in active service in the Cavalry,in which he was a Lieutenant Colonel, in the Philippines and in Siberia. His work on the Belgian Relief Commission, as director forBrussels, won him added fame. Atpresent he holds the rank of Brigadier General in the U. S. Army, anddecorations from the governments ofFrance, Belgium, Czecho- Slovakia,Japan, Italy, and Poland. He is atrustee for the Carnegie Endowmentfor International Peace. PomonaCollege, University of California,Mills College, Columbia University,and the University of Bolivia havebestowed honorary degrees upon him,and he is an honorary professor oflaw of the Catholic University ofChile. In 1933 and 1934 he wasTheodore Roosevelt Professor to theUniversity of Berlin.

This is a most importantposition, and a very great honor, asthe Council comprises the representatives of most of the Protestant denominations in the country. For thepast sixteen years, Dr. Holt has beenpastor of St. John's Methodist Epis-cipal Church, South, of St. Louis.He has twice served as head of theMetropolitan Church Federation ofSt. Louis, and has been unremittingin his work toward bringing aboutcooperation among the denominations. He has frequently preached innon-Methodist pulpits, has invitedJewish rabbis to preach from his pulpit, and on invitation has addressedcongregations at the synagogue. Forthe next four months he will be guestpastor of the Community Church ofShanghai, China, the leading Protestant church in the Orient. FromShanghai he will go to Australia, asfraternal messenger of SouthernMethodism in America to the conference celebrating the 100th anniversary of the founding of Methodismin Australia. In 1931 he was guestpastor at Egremont PresbyterianChurch, Wallasey, Cheshire, England. A recent book of his, "TheReturn of Spring to Man's Soul"has been one of the most popular ofcontemporary religious works. In aninterview with the press after hiselection as head of the Council, hesaid that it was his "hope that the reunion ideal of Protestantism may be nearer realization at the conclusion ofmy term as president of the FederalCouncil than it is now. My heart isset on discovering those elementswhich are universal and essential inour Christian faith with a view tobringing Protestant communions intoever closer fellowship.

MILLETT, PhD '31 Associate Professor of EnglishSCENE: A class in contemporary literature.Time: Autumn, 1934.Interlocutor : What did Gertrude Stein look like ?First voice: She is a plain, rugged strong-lookingwoman of the peasant type, with iron gray hair, cutcompletely mannish, which she worried while reading,when her hand was not rammed in her jacket pocket.She was dressed in a brown serge — or perhaps it wasdenim — skirt and sleeveless jacket, with a masculine-looking shirt, and a huge diamond sunburst at the throat.Second voice: What attracted all eyes was a brilliantyellow scarf wound about her shoulders. After assuming her position on the stage, she proceeded to extricateherself from it, and draped it carelessly on the desk.Third voice: She is only a muscular head close-shaven like a monk's with a sweet potato scarf and acorduroy robe which should be tied with a robe andterminated by a celibate's sandals. One would put herwith melancholy St. Bernard dogs leading blind menthrough the Alps, and no wonder the priests of Spainbowed to her with grace, believing her to be the memberlost, strayed or stolen, of a curious monastic order ofsomewhere else.Interlocutor: And what did Miss Stein do?Second voice: She did not introduce herself ; neitherwas anyone else permitted to do so. She walked up ontothe stage and surveyed her audience' with a critical eye.She unfolded the manuscript which she had taken froma voluminous bag, adjusted her glasses, and began toread. Her voice was a surprise. It was a carefullymodulated, cultured voice, rather low, quite forceful,and brightened by flashes of color in expression. It isdifficult to disagree with her when one is under the spellof that voice.Third voice: She holds her paper close to her noseand reads rapidly without looking up often and there aremany l's in her words.Fourth voice: Her inner balance was evidenced byher ability to laugh at what she was saying as she saidit. This chuckle usually communicated itself to methrough the material she read. Her vocalization of theprinted matter brought out what she intended the meaning to be. She established the, rhythm of her expressionso firmly in our minds that many of her listeners heardthemselves talking like her after the lecture.Interlocutor: And what did Miss Stein say?Second voice: Because words have to do everything in writing we must concern ourselves with them.Some sounds do not mean the same thing as they proceed because the feeling changes. A noun is only the name of something. It does not do anything. Whywrite in nouns when names do nothing to change thenature of things. Adjectives are not interesting either.They affect nouns and how can anything which affectssomething uninteresting be interesting. Verbs and adverbs are better, they can be mistaken, and that is oneof their nice qualities. Nouns never can be mistakenbecause they are only the name of something. Verbsare mistaken and make mistakes. They are always onthe move. Prepositions make the most mistakes andare the most mistaken. I like prepositions best of all.Articles please, because they do something a noun mightdo and doesn't. Conjunctions have a force, and therefore are not dull. As they work, they live. Pronounsare better than nouns because adjectives cannot go withthem. They are not the name of something, but represent something. Interjections have nothing to do withanything, not even themselves.Question marks are uninteresting. Everybodyknows a question when he sees one, so why the question mark. And if he doesn't know a question whenhe sees one a question mark won't help him anyway. Ifind them positively revolting. Exclamation points andquotation marks are unnecessary too. They are ugly,they spoil the writing and the printing, and anywaywhat is the use. Dots and dashes might be interestingif one felt that way. Colons, semicolons, and commasare the marks I use least. Writing should go on, andpunctuation breaks the continuity. One must stopphysically sometimes, and so periods are all right. Theyare natural. Not interfering. Periods have a life oftheir own. They are arbitrary. Not servile. Colonsand semicolons like commas are servile. As periods theymight be adventurers but I always feel that they arecommas. A comma is positively degrading. Its useis not a use but it replaces one's own interest. Commas make easy a thing that if you liked it well enoughwould be easy anyway. Commas indicate when oneought to take a breath. Now everyone knows when heought to take a breath. Why should he be coerced bya comma. And if he does not want to take a breathwhy should he be coerced by a comma. We may dopretty well what we like with capitals and small letters.Capitals have nothing to do with the inner life ofparagraphs and sentences. Capitals are like horses.They are diminishing.Sentences paragraphs and periods will always bewith us. Sentences are not emotional but paragraphsare. The sentence content is always logical. A sentence if long enough should gain the balance of theparagraph. However, I tried that and lost both otherbalances and created a new balance.One and one and one and one is the natural way tocount. This has to do with poetry. When ridding one'sself of one's nouns, much happens. We may meet106THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINE 107nouns and not just get around them by using them.Prose is the emotional balance of the sentence and theparagraph. Poetry has to do with vocabulary and prosehas not. The two are completely different. Vocabulary is based on the noun. Consequently so is poetry.Prose is based on the verb. Poetry is loving, using,caressing, wanting, and addressing nouns. Poetry isloving a name, and repeating makes it more beloved.Once upon a time, poetry included nearly everything.It lived in nouns, was drunk with nouns. Poetry isthe state of knowing and feeling a noun. And why arethe lines short. It is natural when one expresses one'sself in loving the name of anything.The future need in writing is the need to createa thing without naming it. Not the name of a thingbut the way in which it actually exists should be written.Language is an intellectual re-creation. Not imitation.We must realize to re-create and so avoid the use ofnouns as nouns. Everybody knows too well the nameof anything. We need to create poetry as prose ifanything that is anything is to go on meaning anything. We need to put down the thing in itself withoutnaming the name.Interlocutor: Excellent. And what do you think ofGertrude Stein?(All the voices speak at once )First voice : It is difficult for me to believe that shetakes the sensational part of her writing seriously. Andif she does, I must fall back on the defense of theperson too unsophisticated to understand, and say sheis just a bit — queer. Or else she is perpetrating aGargantuan hoax on the public — which I doubt. Orelse she has an extraordinary feeling for publicity, andlike George Cohan, thinks that "It doesn't matter whatthey say about me so long as they say my name."Fifth voice: Gertrude Stein approaches ideas andestablished customs in a straighter way than many people are able to do. I do not feel as the reviewer didwho wrote "a pose is a pose is a pose."Sixth voice: Miss Stein is a sincere earnest womanwho thinks she has discovered something big but reallyhas not.Fourth voice: I doubt whether this extreme1 subjectivity is the highest possible goal at which modernwriters can direct their powers. The subjective realmsshould be explored with all the aids which modern culture can give, but we must never lose sight of the factthat we write to communicate our ideas and our emotions to other people.Second voice: I think she is the most complete individualist I have ever heard. In fact, I should say sheis a solipsist. aSeventh voice : Some one with authority will confess that Miss Stein's use of repetition is conducive tonothing but boredom and then the tide will break, andshe will be put in her place as a picturesque character.Eighth voice: The group as a whole was pleased withher lecture, pleased -that it wasn't too obscure. But Idon't think everyone was quite so breathlessly excitedin following her as I confess myself to have been.Third voice : After all is said and nothing is done, MissStein is not really mad or not dangerously so ; really sheis a delightful shoulder to weep on or heathen buddhato put flowers before and she could understand prayersin bedlam if necessary. Miss Stein is so curiously andstrangely sane it is only her language that is insane, butaren't we all?(As the confused voices die away, there is heard inthe distance — like the fall of the axe in The CherryOrchard — the sound of a deep masculine chuckle, recognizable to the initiate as proceeding from the hoveringspirit of Gertrude, a saint in many acts.)**With_ grateful acknowledgment to the students in English 375. w«hocreated this drama.The Versatile Children (Continued from page 105)more Oxygen Company; he is a director of the Utah State NationalBank, the Zion's Cooperative Mercantile Institution, and the Utah OilRefining Company.

W. Allport, does notrepresent a private fight, but that itis one in which all who feel inclinedmay join. I promise that if admittedI will use no more questionable weapons than are indicated by the challenger's article of the Novemberissue.Lip service at least is given byProf. Millett to frankness and I willbe frank to say that I am not a regular reader of Prof. Millett's opinions.Perhaps his articles in the Novemberand December issues are not a fulland fair representation of his habitual intellectual processes, logic, andmethods of argument.I find myself in accord with Prof.Millett's conclusion in his November article, which reads as follows :"The responsibility of censoringmoving pictures belongs, obviously,not to church, state, or police force,but to the parents of the adolescentor the child."Prof. Millett may scorn the authority of the U. S. Supreme Courtas a citation supporting his opinionand I feel rather sure he will scornthe support of my opinion. However,that supporting authority is availablein the Oregon School Case where thecourt held the Oregon Statute, whichsought to suppress Catholic Schools,to be unconstitutional. The reasongiven by the court for that opinioncan be fairly stated by the quotationfrom Prof. Millett given above witha few words added for clarity thus :The responsibility for education andinstruction of the child belongs tothe parents.I have a feeling too that Prof.Millett will scorn also the supportingopinion of his Catholic fellow citizens who show the strength of theirconvictions by supporting the Catholic schools by voluntary contributionsand also, as taxpayers, support thepublic schools. This large group,through the agency of the OregonCatholic schools affected, were the active parties litigant in that case. Perhaps the technical word "agency" inthe foregoing sentence is inexact andthat "community of interest" wouldbe better. I am also able to share Prof. Millett's "horror" expressed in the following quoted sentence from his November opinion if the danger indicated therein is real and imminent.That sentence reads :"The idea that a hundred millionAmericans permit a single benightedindividual to determine the moral implications of their moving picturefare is horrifying in its potentialities."I am willing to assume that the individual referred to is benighted butdisavow any personal knowledge oropinion on that point. The individualreferred to, it develops from Mr.Allport's letter and Prof. Millett's reply in the December issue, is Mr.Breen. Even if the individual is notbenighted and even if he is assistedas Mr. Allport says by "seven qualified collaborators whose wide experience enables them to bring a practicalviewpoint to their work," I, as theresponsible father of a thirteen yearold girl, am not willing to surrendermy responsibility for her educationthrough movies and talkies into theirhands. I am reliably informed thatMr. Breen has his main financial andbusiness investment in the motionpicture industry and I think he mighthave in mind too strongly box officeresults and too little the thought ofwhat it is good for my daughter tosee and hear. Even so I would notbe sure he was benighted. I have a"hunch" that perhaps some or all ofhis seven advisers may be too closein interest to the industry to be entirely impartial ; though I confess ignorance and call this merely a"hunch" and not an opinion.I do have a great deal of confidence in the opinion of the Committee of Catholic Bishops andPriests who have undertaken to anddo view and classify the movies andtalkies offered to the public. Theseare divided by that committee intothree classes as follows: Class A pictures are entirely unobjectionablemorally from their point of view.Class B have parts which are objectionable and Class C are condemned.The New World, diocesan paper ofChicago, lists all pictures so classified.This certainly helps any parent todischarge his responsibility as to censoring the movies for his children.If the parent wants his child to seesex and crime pictures, he need only read reviews of, or view the Class Cgroup, and select those which hethinks suits his purpose. If he is willing to neglect his child's education insuch subjects, he can restrict hischild's attendance to Class A and likewise further refine his selection byreading about or viewing those pictures. So also as to the intermediateClass B. I have found this a greataid. Our family set-up is such thatwe usually attend the same movie atthe same time, mother, daughter andmyself. My leisure is limited. I cannot be an efficient, single handed censor for my own child. I need help.Perhaps my situation is typical ofthat of parents generally.On the other hand, no one is boundto use this aid nor to follow it. If abetter aid is available even to Catholics such persons are free to use it.They are bound in conscience toavoid seeing or permitting their children to view pictures which actuallyand not merely theoretically excitethem to thoughts of lust or of avarice or of criminal adventure or anger.Parents may go to movies haphazardand leave when they find them objectionable but this is neither efficientor economical as to either time ormoney. Of course, those who maythink the opinions and selections andclassifications of the clerical committee are untrustworthy or diabolicallyfalse, may and should ignore themand find a better. Perhaps Prof. Millett's followers would welcome aclassification by him. No one couldjustly be angry at him if he undertook and performed that task conscientiously to the best of his ability.Perhaps I am wrong in my inference that Prof. Millett is angry at theCatholic churchmen who have endeavored to aid Catholic parents likemyself in discharging the responsibility which he says is obviously ours.I make that inference from certainstatements made by Prof. Millett asestablished facts which I am fairlycertain are false. I infer that hismind was beclouded by his anger andresentment against the Catholic Committee and that otherwise he wouldhave seen the obvious error in hisstatement of fact.False statement No. i. Mr. Breenis a "devout adherent of one of thenarrowest of creeds." Mr. Breenmay be a member in good standingof the Roman Catholic Church. I in-108THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINE 109fer that he is at least a nominal member of that church from newspaperitems. He may go to Mass everySunday, and to Confession and Communion once a year and thus fromoutward appearance and practice bea Catholic. I hope he at least is that.This does not entitle him to the descriptive adjective of devout. Attendance on Sunday is an almost irreducible minimum of devotion. Prof.Millett, I am sure, does not have asufficiently intimate acquaintance withthe extremely private and personalaffairs of Mr. Breen to be qualifiedto state whether he is "devout" 6rnot in the proper sense of that word.But Prof. Millett does not use thatword in that sense alone. He wishesto connote the idea that Mr. Breenis an authoritative or representativeexponent of the views of movie morality held by "devout" Catholic citizens in general and the Catholicclergy in particular.This connotation of the word "devout" is false. Mr. Breen had muchto say about movies to be offered tothe public before the Legion of Decency was formed and his appointment to his present position has notin the least removed the necessity forvigilance in the opinion of Catholicparents or clergy nor caused the disbanding of the Legion of Decency. Ihope Mr. Breen is a devout man butI am sure that Prof. Millett has notthe knowledge sufficient to justify astatement on the subject. The lastpart of the above quotation meansundoubtedly that the Catholic is "oneof the narrowest of creeds." I chargethat this is false. It is a creed whichcomes near to being what the adjective Catholic means, namely, universal. It is broad enough to satisfy thespiritual yearnings of a large percentage of the human race. A percentage alongside which any othersingle Christian creed dwindles intonumerical insignificance.The Catholic creed has been foundsufficiently broad for such intellectualand spiritual giants as Augustine,Thomas aKempis, Thomas Aquinas,Athanasius, Newman, Leo XIII, etc.Religion is not a matter of intellect alone, although it should be intelligent. That creed is broad enough tocross political boundaries and retainthe allegiance of those of alienspeech, customs and political concepts. It is possible that the idea ofnarrowness is engendered in Prof.Millett's mind by ignorance of thecreed to which he applies the term. Iclaim no exact knowledge of othercreeds though my associates havemainly been non-Catholic since I leftthe grades in the parochial school,then through public high school,through the U of C six years, andthen into the Chicago Bar. I heard inmy youth from my non-Catholicfriends that various athletic gameswere taboo by their church on Sunday but they were not in mine; somesects condemned ballroom dancing,mine did not; some condemned cardplaying, mine did not.What does Prof. Millett mean by"narrow creed"? I would be interested to hear the names of the other"narrow creeds" since the Catholicis only "one of the narrowest creeds."False statement No. 2. "There isa similar occasion for suspecting thesincerity of the reformers when onelearns that school girls were orderedto march in a Legion of Decency parade in academic costume, and thatthey were told that a bus would trailthe procession so that none of theyoung innocents should be seen smoking in cap and gown."Prof. Millett's suspicions -are easily excited. Perhaps this pronenessto suspicion also comes "from hisstern Puritan ancestry" like his antipathy for games. Perhaps his neglect of games in his youth has prevented him from developing his senseof fair play as illustrated by theabove quotation. That statement isfalse because the school girls werenot ordered to march in the Legionof Decency parade in Chicago — if herefers to that one. (Here's a chancefor Prof. Millett to alibi by saying hereferred to one in a distant city ; buthe should name the city.) I havepersonal knowledge about the schoolgirls at Marywood in Evanston wheremy daughter attends. They were not ordered to march. My daughter, mywife, and myself, are all in accordwith the purpose of the Legion ofDecency, and my daughter, Rosemary, marched because she wanted todo so. I am sure the same is truewith practically all the marchers. Isaw the parade and the youthful enthusiasm I witnessed could not havebeen produced by orders without individual willingness. I saw nobusses following the parade in whicha furtive smoke might have been hadby the "young innocents." I do notwish any one to infer that I think acigarette, smoked furtively or otherwise, would prevent a girl, innocentof improper sexual knowledge orconduct, from being as innocent afteras before the smoke. My daughterdoes not smoke, I hope she neverdoes, but I would not feel disgracedif she did at some future time followmy own bad example in that regard.False statement No. 3 reads as follows :"The hysteria on both sides haswell nigh passed."There was no hysteria on the partof Catholic parents and clergy. TheLegion of Decency arose from longconsidered and carefully discussedplans for getting the moving pictureindustry to supply a legitimate demand for clean and decent amusement for parent and child. This reasoned and reasonable determinationwould not he called hysteria by anyone having a proper respect for themeaning of the word or for the people to whom it is applied. This determination has not passed but it isas strong as ever and will continue.In conclusion, I wish to testify toa fact which I am sure my readerswill agree with, and it is as follows :There is a large increase in the number both quantitatively and proportionately of movies of real entertainment value free of moral objectionssince the Legion of Decency waslaunched last Spring. This argument I believe is entitled to moreweight than most "post hoc ergopropter hoc" arguments.Very truly yours,Paul O'Donnell, '07, JD '09.Mr Millett's reply will be found on Page 115Although not meant to be a speaking likeness of John Howe, this model photograph from the Cap and Gown very beautifullyrepresents the manner in which he, sitting on top of the world, views with the eye of a candid camera the activities ofthis bookish realm.110NEWS OF THE QUADRANGLES®By JOHN P. HOWE, '27FOR scholars and scientists the Christmas holidaysare days filled with polysyllables and formulae.Scores of learned societies meet to discuss what's-new, the older pundits to give of their wisdom and moderation, the younger ones to make names for themselves.Nearly a hundred Chicago faculty people attended suchmeetings over the recent holidays, chief centers beingPittsburgh, Chicago, Washington, Philadelphia and Toronto. No less than ten Chicago professors headed societies convening at that time, with the local social scientists predominating in these presidencies.Professor Ernest W. Burgess presided over thesessions of the American Sociological Society, which metin Chicago. Also presiding at Chicago meetings wereProfessor Harry A. Millis, who headed the AmericanEconomic Association, and Professor-emeritus Sopho-nisba Breckinridge, who headed and heads the AmericanAssociation of Schools of Social Work. Professor William E. Dodd, vacationing from the American embassyat Berlin, presided over the sessions of the AmericanHistorical Association, which met in Washington, andgave the presidential address on "The Emergence ofSocial Order in the United States." Dr. James H.Breasted, a former president of the Historical Association, gave one of the principal addresses at the celebration of the association's 50th anniversary, on "Historyand Social Idealism."At Pittsburgh, where the American Association forthe Advancement of Science and many other scientificgroups met, Professor Fay- Cooper Cole presided overthe sessions of the American Anthropological Societyand Professor George Fuller over those of the American Ecological Society. Professor Ezra Kraus was unable, because of illness, to fulfill his chairmanship aspresident of the American Botanical Society; and Professor Arthur H. Compton, who is on leave teaching atOxford University, was unable to attend the meetingsof the American Physical Society, at which he was tohave presided. Dean Henry G. Gale headed the Physicssection of the A.A.A.S. and Professor Guy T. Buswellthe education section. Professor Rollin Chamberlin delivered the address as retiring head of the geology section.This was a rather notable accumulation of such presidencies for one institution. There are always many ex-presidents about the Midway, graduated to the executivecouncils of the societies (and many other fine scholarswho were never convention-minded), but we do not recallany one year with so many active. Five faculty people,so far as we have learned, were elected at the Christmasmeetings to head societies for the current year, as follows: Leonard Bloomfield, Professor of Germanic Philology and chairman of the department of Linguistics, asPresident of the American Linguistics Society, whichmet at Philadelphia; Berthold L. Ullman, Professor ofLatin, as President of the American Philological Asso ciation, which met at Toronto; John T. McNeill, Professor of the History of European Christianity, as President of the American Church History Society, whichmet at Washington ; Sophonisba Breckinridge, re-electedpresident of the American Association of Schools ofSocial Work; and Charles E. Colby, Professor of Geography, succeeds Wallace Walter Atwood, formerly faculty member, as President of the American Associationof Geographers.Charles A. Shull, professor of Plant Physiology,was awarded the Stephen Hale Prize by the AmericanAssociation of Plant Physiologists, meeting at Pittsburgh, for outstanding work in that field. He has beeneditor of "The Journal of Plant Physiology" for manyyears. Also honored at Pittsburgh were Professor Ed-son S. Bastin, who was made vice-president of the American Geological Society; Professor Sewall Wright, whowas made vice-president of the American Society ofZoologists; and Robert Redfield, Dean of the SocialSciences Division, who was chosen by the AmericanAnthropological Society as its representative on theSocial Science Research Council.Merriam on Social PlanningOne suspects that Professor Charles E. Merriam isa far more important influence in the nation's progressivepolitical thinking than his quiet demeanor would indicate.He gave one of the most-awaited addresses before thesocial science societies meeting in Chicago at Christmas."Every man is entitled to his own opinion and Ihave no desire to thrust my views on others, but perhaps I may be permitted to say quietly as a student ofgovernment for a disgraceful number of years and notby nature an alarmist, that especially on returning fromEurope this summer, I do not share the complaisance ofthose who look forward to a world but little changed,"Professor Merriam said."Without essaying the role of a prophet, I maysay that I anticipate fundamental changes in the scientific, technological, political and industrial order, changesthat will alter many of the present day and historic social patterns and remake them in new, and perhaps tosome, unwelcome forms. The mold in which the modern state was cast is broken or is breaking. But theway is open for our time to reconstruct a finer way oflife, if we can pioneer our way through and around difficulties as nobly as did our fathers."Professor Merriam's address was, he explained, anattempt to analyze for the last two years the trend ofgovernment since the review he wrote for the HooverSocial Trends report in 1932.Expansion of the activities of government is evident at many points, in agriculture, industry, in reliefdirectly and through public works, in currency and111112 THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINEcredit, and in other related fields, he said. The exerciseof these powers has not, in his opinion given rise tomore than the usual development of presidential powersin time of emergencies, and only emphasizes the trendof power away from localities to the national government."The widespread reorganization of local government, the re-examination of the relations of cities tothe United States, the examination of regional governments of which T. V. A. is a type; the considerationalike of areas of administration and of representation,these are immediately before us and will call for constructive ability of the highest order," Professor Merriam said."We have reached a point where in order to avoidtoo great centralization of power it will become necessary to consider more carefully just what functions localities may best exercise and plan for their vigorousdevelopment. This is as necessary for the preservation of the legitimate and vital functions of local self-government as for the proper functioning of the nationalgovernment itself."This is not by any means an exclusive result ofthe recent depression, which has only revealed a tendency shaping for decades. The growth of new types ofcommunication is a powerful factor in upsetting governmental areas while the nationalizing of trade and commerce is an equal contributor. But this trend has beenmade clearer than ever before by the events of the lastfew years, and has brought us nearer to a serious reconsideration of the role of the various units of government in our national economy."An important and clearly marked recent trend inAmerican government, Professor Merriam pointed out,is that in the direction of systematic planning, local,state, and national."It is an error to conclude that all planning involvesregimentation of a deadening nature. Wise planningmakes provision for decentralization as well as unification, for territorial and individual decentralization,for independent criticism, judgment and initiative, forpreserving and creating free areas of human activity.The zoning of power is as important in political as ineconomic organization."Sound planning is not based on control of everything, but of certain strategic points in a working system. The best planning will find these strategic points,shown by the social directives of the time, and seize nomore points than are necessary for the purpose in mind.Force is only too often the result of impatience or impotence. What often happens is that change is too longdelayed; then the readjusters violently seize more thanthey need, only eventually to restore what they wouldnot have taken had they been -wiser."If, however, there are those who believe that ourliberties are in jeopardy, I rejoice that they speak out,that they organize and agitate in behalf of their judgments, for only in this way may our liberties be maintained. We cannot have liberty if men tamely submitto what they believe is dangerous and wrong. Therecan be no greater threat to liberty than absence of free and full discussion of opposing views, political, socialand economic. Already Russia, Italy, Germany, andAustria have forbidden free public consideration of public questions; and if democratic states adopt the samepolicy, a new era opens; an era when we abandon discussion for clubs and machine guns."Obviously there is no magic in the mere word'planning/ Nor is there any mystic charm in a planning mechanism per se. Our democratic system is basedupon the principle that the gains of civilization are essentially mass gains and should be diffused throughoutthe mass as promptly and as equitably as possible. Withthis end in view, there is reason to believe that systematic, forward looking planning would facilitate theadoption of such policies regarding our national andhuman resources as would best serve this basic purposeof our system."Planning in a democracy is a cooperative enterprise, requiring widespread sympathy and support, beyond party and beyond region. Business can block it;labor, agriculture, the middle class, can block it. Butthe danger then is that we drift away from planning,not into a blissful heaven of politics and economics, tolive forever with golden harps, but to a point whereforce mounts the throne and writes a plan in blood andsteel."The natural and human assets of America give usthe means to provide a higher standard of life and afuller realization of essential human values, more equitably diffused than ever before. But this is precisely thetime in which the necessary adaptation and adjustmentcannot be made by drift and chance but imperatively require construction and invention of a high and distinguished order, nobly directed toward a common goal ofpublic weal, which has always been the promise ofAmerican life."Professor Merriam has been a member of the three-man National Planning Board, appointed by PresidentRoosevelt, together with alumnus Wesley Mitchell andMr. Frederic Delano. Last July 1st this board becamepart of the National Resources Board, which consistsof the three named above, five members of the Cabinetand Mr. Harry Hopkins, the group being headed byalumnus Harold Ickes. Last month the Resources Boardpublished its report, described by Secretary Ickes as"the first attempt in our national history to make an inventory of our national assets and of the problems related thereto." This report, recommending the creationof a permanent national planning agency, discusses indetail problems of land planning (such as the retirementof submarginal lands), water resources planning, mineralresources, public works planning, and state and regionalplanning, and recommends some seventy-five specificsteps to be taken. Professor H. H. Barrows, chairmanof the University's department of Geography, is a member of the Water Planning Committee of the Board.Last month in this department of the Magazine we suggested that the "Hutchins" report on American international economic policy and Norman Wait Harris report on foreign policy, to both of which the Universitycontributed heavily of its intelligence, would have itsTHE- UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINE 113effect on the future of American affairs. No less canbe said for this latest report, to which Professors Merriam and Barrows are important contributors. Muchdiscussed also in the newspapers has been ProfessorJacob Viner's report to the Treasury department on theavailability of bank credit in the Chicago reserve district.More on Christmas MeetingsProfessor William F. Ogburn, the country's leading social predictor, did some forecasting for the socialscience societies. An expansion of both industry andgovernment, and a greater union between them, may beexpected in the future, he said, with some kind of super-organization developing from this union."After all the violent and exaggerated interpretations of these eventful years shall have been forgotten,the future historians of the period will note two outstanding phenomena," Dr. Ogburn said. "The first isthat we have had an unusually long and severe business depression, and not a near-collapse of civilization.The second observation will be that there occurred anexceptionally vigorous growth of government, with theconsequent ideational accompaniments."Of the five great human institutions, the family, thechurch, the local community, industry and government,the first three have declined in importance in the last100 years, while the latter two have grown, Ogburnpointed out. The depression has caused a temporaryreversal of the trend for the first four of these institutions, but has speeded up the expanding influence of government. The long-time trends may be expected to resume their course after the depression has eased, thoughthere will be some recession temporarily from the NewDeal and its emphasis on the importance of government."Indications point to a union of industry and government, somewhat as the family and industry wereunited for centuries. The older concept of this issue wasthat business men did not want such a union, and that ifit did come it would be because of a revolutionary proletarian movement. But the needs of business are forcing a closer union. Industry apparently needs the aid ofgovernment in combating depressions, in restrainingbooms, in controlling credit institutions, in regulating theflow of credit, in providing cheap transportation, in regulating monopolistic prices of goods which all industriesuse, in preventing unfair competition, in aiding foreigntrade, in planning and carrying out plans for greaterefficiency outside the plant and between different industries, in helping to smooth out the maladjustments dueto invention and science as in the case of transportation and communication, and in adjusting industry tothe -mobility or immobility of population as in the caseof agriculture."Some kind of super-organization is needed to workout a solution. The wider aspects of economic activitymake it more probable that this super-organizationshould be a creation of the state rather than aprivate industry. Government has been slower to growthan industry. One retarding influence is the difficultyin building up an efficient administrative service. The in adequacy of administration in view of the task is glaringly apparent in the case of both NRA and AAA. Another possible reason for the slowness of governmentis the lack of adequate techniques in the governmentalmachinery for quick changes. A large deliberative assembly is not the happiest device for such a crisis; noris our system of representation based on areas."Many fear that the inefficiencies of a more collec-tivist state or a vastly regulatory one will mean a lowerstandard of living. Such of course is a possibility. Buteconomists tend to over-emphasize the economic organization as the determining factor. We may have a deterioration in the efficiency of our economic organization andstill have a rising standard of living. The economic planeof living is a function of four factors, a small population, abundant natural resources, new inventions and efficiency of economic organization."The first three of these factors, at least, will continue to be favorable in America, Dr. Ogburn Said, withnew inventions the most favorable. Citing the telephone,the automobile, the airplane, the motion picture, theradio and rayon as inventions from which huge industries have grown since his college days, Dr. Ogburncontinued: "Will the young men and women graduating from college today see in the next thirty years newinventions develop into industries of similar magnitude?I think they will."Television is overdue, and when it comes, will puttheaters in 20,000,000 homes. The electron tube, admittedly the greatest invention of the 20th century, willbe the basis of a hundred new devices. Then, there isthe manufacture of artificial climate, coolness indoors insummer, artificial sunshine in winter, flood-lighting atnight. Less spectacular are the new alloys and plastics,which have wide possibilities. And talking books maybe mentioned."Such new industries, together with a small population and abundant natural resources, will raise thestandard of living even though collectivism should lowerthe efficiency of our economic system. Such a loweringis an assumption not to be taken for granted ; under aunion of state and industry it might even be increased."A great problem of the future is likely to be that ofmental disorders, Dr. Ogburn said. The "fact that 1 in20 of our boys and girls of high school age will be confined in a hospital for the insane some time during their. lives indicates that the great trends of the past centuryhave not added to psychological adjustment. It is quitepossible that the weakening of the influence of religionhas increased insanity. The old-time religion with itsvariety of beliefs and deities was a wonderful pattern ofculture for meeting the psychological needs of mankind."Some loss of liberty and some regimentation wouldresult from a greater union of government and industry, Dr. Ogburn said. "This is to be expected, for suchis the implication of any high degree of organization;though of course there will be gains in liberty in otherdirections. We may have more liberty than before, whenfreedom of conduct is seen in terms of all man's institutions and not as an affair of the state and the businessman. Still, a nation of pioneer traditions that has fought114 THE UNIVERSITY OFtwo wars over liberty will necessarily and rightly viewwith alarm the encroachment on liberty of the expandingstate."Dr. Ogburn predicted a great growth of nationalism,not necessarily war-like in its aims. "Some recession ofthe present nationalism may occur, but the communication inventions and the present weakness of religion ifcontinued almost assure a great growth of, nationalism,like religion commanding our devotionand loyalty and dominating us with itsintolerance." There will be some risein internationalism also, he said.Other developments predicted byDr. Ogburn were: Countries and peoples will tend to become more alike, withtechnological countries setting the pace ;widening of the geographical base ofpolitical units and economic services;and greater mobility of population, withsome dispersion from cities into metropolitan areas. Concluding on a pessimistic note, Dr. Ogburn said: "No prospective integration of state and industry is expected to deliver us in thefuture from grave social disturbances."Addressing the economists, Professor Paul Douglas said that if the unemployment insurance plan which may beset before the present Congress does notprovide for a national re-insurance fund "it will be grosslydefective and we may expect a marked disparity of benefits between states to develop." A nation-wide system ispreferable, but since this has been rejected by the administration, the plan accepted should be state-wide in scope,with the national re-insurance fund used for equalization, Mr. Douglas said. Professor Harry A. Millis, inhis presidential address before the economists, said thatthe economist finds a sufficiently strong case for collective dealing in industry through unions. Althoughsupporting in part the labor doctrine of wages, Professor Millis said, "The level of wages and the welfare ofthe masses turn much more upon progress in productionand upon the taxation and spending policies of the government than any such thing as the control of wagesthrough law or collective bargaining." He is a memberof the National Labor Relations Board.Among the more interesting papers presented at thePittsburgh meetings were two which illustrate the aptitude of Chicago people as breaker-downers as well asbuilder-uppers in scientific theory. Miss Madeleine Kne-berg of the University's anthropology department gaveevidence that the use of hair-structure as a criterion inthe determination of race, long accepted, probably is notvalid. Professor Paul Weiss bf the Zoology departmentdisagreed with the great emphasis now placed upon "action currents" in the study of nervous transmission, andwith the whole analogy of the nervous system as a"switchboard" affair, suggesting instead a kind of harmonic-selection explanation for the nervous control ofcomplex actions. And in this vein, but not at Pittsburgh,local astronomers up at Yerkes observatory have recently CHICAGO MAGAZINEreported successful experiments in recording infra-redradiations from stars which indicate that most acceptedestimates of star heat will have to be revised.Professor A. J. Dempster reported at the Pittsburghmeetings that he had succeeded in analyzing solid substances chemically through the use of positive rays;Professor H. H. Newman reported further progress onhis crucial environment-heredity study of identical twins,ten more sets of identical twins rearedapart having been induced to come toChicago for examination via the lure ofthe Fair; and Professor Griffith Taylordiscussed his interesting ideas on environment and race.NotedCharles Bane, a first-year studentin the University Law School, wasawarded a Rhodes scholarship to Oxford on January 7th. Not an activeparticipant in campus affairs as a University undergraduate, Bane was able tooverstep this usual requirement by hisbrilliant record in scholarship and bythe very favorable impression he madeupon the regional committee. His is thefirst such award for a Chicago man inseveral years. Bane and another Chicago student, Lewis Dexter, were thetwo Illinois candidates chosen to appearbefore the regional committee. Dexter is about to setan all-time Ail-American academic sprinting record.Entering the University as a freshman, graduate of aMassachusetts high school, in the autumn of 1933, Dexter completed all the requirements of the College divisionand the divisional sequence in Social Sciences withinone year. He is now completing the elective coursesin the division, preparing for the baccalaureate examination in political science, and writing a master'sthesis in that department. He expects to take thebachelor's degree this March and the master's degreethis June, and in all probability he will do it, completing in two years — and at age 19 — a program usuallyrequiring five years.

Mr. O'Donnell and I agreethat the responsibility for censoringmovies for children and adolescentsbelongs, "not to church, state, orpolice force, but to the parents of theadolescent or the child."II. Mr. O'Donnell and I agreethat Mr. Breen and his staff are notthe proper persons to censor moviesfor the American people. We objectto that censorship, however, on opposite grounds. Mr. O'Donnell objects because he fears it will be toolax; I object because I fear it will be too strict.III. Mr. O'Donnell's objectionsto my use of the terms devout, narrow, and hysteria are objections, itshould be noted, not to matters ofobjectively demonstrable fact but tosubjectwely achieved opinions. Naturally, he prefers his opinions tomine.IV. Mr. O'Donnell believes thatthe Legion of Decency will prove tobe an effective agency in the guidance of adult and adolescent moviegoers;I believe that the Legion of Decency will not prove an effectiveagency in such guidance, because(a) official censorship of any sort defeats its own purpose by givingpublicity to objects and activitiescensored.(b) the censorship manifested inthe New World Motion PictureGuide on which the Legion relies ischildish and preposterous. As evidence of my last contention, I needdo no more than cite the fact thatthe following pictures: Catherine theGreat, Little Man What Now, OfHuman Bondage, and One MoreRiver were classified as "indecentand immoral and unfit for public entertainment."A censorship that functions thusis its own worst enemy.Fred B.

It occurred to me thatit was perhaps unfortunate that theHumanities are assigned to the hourimmediately after lunch, when thehuman ember (like Montaigne'sfamous raven) 'retracts into a dulland dumpish stupor,' but I greatlyadmired Professor Norman McLean's brilliant and engaging conduct of the argument. He probedhis somewhat pedestrian pupils withstyptic questioning and I think thatseveral months of that discipline mayteach them some notion of the process and pursuit of thought. I wasapprehensive that he might ask mesome questions about Aristotle'sEthics (that being the topic of thehour) and when his lambent eyeswept the back row I trembled. Icouldn't tremble much, however, forI found that the old varsity lecture-room chairs are now too tight formy figure. The note-taking shelfmade a deep impression on me. Sofor an hour the class argued 'WhatIn the Grand MannerTHE Chicago Alumnae Club contributed to the usual holidaycelebrations in December with anunusual luncheon and bridge in theJoseph Urban Room of the CongressHotel.

This exactedfrom the students definitions of aChief Good, and of Man. It wasagreed, under the shade of Aristotleand the scalpel of Professor McLean, that the Chief Good of Manis 'the workings of the soul in accordance with Right Reason.' And(as the magazine serials say) go onfrom there."The chapel of the university, designed by Goodhue, is of admirablebeauty.

Mr.Clark Shaughnessy, the football coach, suddenly becamethe universal candidate of institutions which had justfired their coaches, and wanted a Moses to lead themto the promised land. No less a personage than theHon. Huey Long, bereft of football guidance for hisLousiana State University when Capt. "Biff" Jones resigned, announced on the floor of the Senate of the stateof Louisiana that he ("Huey") wanted Mr. Shaughnessyfor the job. Mr. Shaughnessy and the senator, then ayoung lawyer, once lived in the same rooming house inNew Orleans, and are well acquainted, though not in abusiness way. Mr. Shaughnessy discreetly said nothing,and finally that proposal lapsed in the newspapers. Butimmediately there came a rumor from a different sector— this time from Harvard — that Mr. Shaughnessy wasthe favored candidate to succeed Eddie Casey, resigned.There apparently was something more than bombast tothis offer, but Mr. Shaughnessy, like Ol' Man River,didn't say nothing — for publication. Finally Harvardcame up with another coach, signed on the dotted line.And so it looks as if Chicago teams will continue underthe guidance of Clark D. Shaughnessy.The team next year will have Jay Berwanger ascaptain, an honor which obviously was his due. In Berwanger's case, however, it will be something more thanan honor; like his valuable predecessor, Ell Patterson,he will be a superior leader. Patterson was named themost valuable player on the team, after earnest consideration by the players, who had a difficult time choosingbetween him and Berwanger. Ewald Nyquist, fullback,was voted the team's best tackier ; Sam Whiteside, sophomore guard who played more minutes in conferencegames than any other player, was named the player ofgreatest value receiving the least recognition. The election of the captain, and the award of "C's" and numerals,and the announcement of the individual honors, exceptof "most valuable player", were achieved at the annualfootball dinner of the Chicago Alumni Club on December 13.There were 22 major letters awarded for the season,ten of them being to men receiving the award for thefirst time. The new "C's" were to: Sam Whiteside, • By WILLIAM V. MORGANSTERN, '20, JD '22Evanston, 111., guard; Prescott Jordan, LaGrange, 111.,guard; Clarence Wright, Clinton, la., tackle; GordonPeterson, center and end, and Bartlett Peterson, end, ofLong Beach, Cal. ; Ralph Balfanz, Abilene, Tex., end ;Warren Skoning, Elgin, 111., fullback; Earl Sappington,Lake City, Fla., tackle; Ned Bartlett, Glendale, Cal.,halfback; Keith Hatter Sioux City, la., halfback. Theplayers who previously had won their letters in footballwere : John Baker, end, and Bob Perretz, guard, of Chicago; Merritt Bush, Fullerton, Cal., tackle; RainwaterWells and Barton Smith, Long Beach, Cal., halfbacks;Ewald Nyquist, Rockford, 111., fullback; John Womer,Oak Park, 111., tackle; Edward Cullen, Wilmette, 111.,quarterback; William Langley Dallas, Tex., end; JayBerwanger, Dubuque, la., halfback; Tom Flinn, Redwood Falls, Minn., quarterback; Capt. Ell Patterson,Western Springs, 111., center.The Old English letter was awarded to HarryNacey, Chicago, back; Harmon Meigs, Evanston, 111.,guard; Adolph Schuessler, Alton, 111., fullback; WilliamRunyan, South Haven, Mich., quarterback ; Jack Scruby,Beverly Hills, Cal., guard. Award of letters this yearhas been based on a definite system of length of play,with, of course, provision for recognition of playerswhose earnest work over a period of years entitles themto an emblem. Whiteside played 325 of a possible 360minutes in the conference games ; Flinn was second, with280 minutes.Freshman football numerals were awarded to Seymour Burrows, 181, Arthur Goes, Jr., 156, WendellHenry, 165, Fred Lehnhardt, 182, Albert Schenck, 167,and Hilary Zimont, 164, backs; Jack Fetman, 158, Arnold Phillips, 160, and Arthur Dean, 172, ends; WalterGritzer, 180, and Benjamin Crockett, 167, guards; andRobert Wheeler, 194, tackle, all of Chicago; Ward Albert, 170, center, and Omar Fareed, end, 162, Glendale,Calif. ; George Antonic, 190, tackle East Chicago, Ind. ;Murray Chilton, 158, guard, Portsmouth, Ohio; JohnSype, 160, end, Oak Park, 111. ; David Gordon, 176, end,LaGrange, 111. ; James Chappie, 175, back, Grand Forks,B.

And that, it is hoped, disposes of footballuntil spring practice.The basketball team is the only one at present engaged in competition. The record to date shows sevendefeats in eight starts, including the loss of the conference opener at Iowa. By next month, however, there118THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINE 119ought to be a victory or two to report, for the team isgradually improving, and it has barely enough talent towin a few times during the season when it is at its peakand the opposition isn't quite right. There is no questionbut that the basketball squad here is, as usual, outclassedin size and speed by practically every team it meets. Thelack of height is painfully obvious on rebound plays ; theslighter and shorter Chicago players get pushed rightout of the scramble under the backboard.Bill Haarlow, who did not start playing on theteam until the Kentucky game, still is not fully adjustedto the pace, although he is doing very well. With a fewmore games behind him, he will be much harder to stop.Capt. Tommy Flinn is like a terrier at a rat in his floorplay. Dick Dorsey, who is being used at the guard position which has been the most troublesome spot to fillbecause of the loss of Oppenheim, is the most improvedplayer on the team, but he does not shoot at all. BillLang, despite the operation on his shoulder, is playingfine basketball, hitting consistently from well out on thefloor, and also has developed a technique of boring infor close shots. Gordon Peterson, while handling thetipoff better than he did last year, isn't as satisfactory inhis play as was anticipated. Walter Duvall's poor defensive work has kept him out of the recent importantgames, but he will be worked in as an alternate to Flinnin the near future. Coach Norgren is planning to useBob Eldred (a scorer) to substitute for Dorsey. Three of the leading contenders for the Big Tenchampionship, Purdue, Wisconsin, and Illinois, appearon the Chicago schedule this year. Iowa, Minnesota,and Ohio are the other conference teams on the rotating list ; currently, Ohio is the only one regarded as belowthe general level. But basketball is an uncertain game,and Chicago is as likely to win from the title-defendingBoilermakers as from Ohio.Notes: It is interesting to observe the average ageof the players who received major or minor awards infootball this season was slightly over 18 years. Thereare no data as to the opposition, but Chicago's opponentsmust average at least two years more, giving them asignificant advantage in maturity. Chicago's position asa national university is reflected in the wide range ofterritory represented on the squad — the players camefrom states as far apart as Florida and California. Interesting, also, the predominance of "American" nameson the roster. . . . The fifth annual Christmas Weekbasketball tournament, which replaced the famous national interscholastic, was won by Lane, defending champions. Hyde Park, coached in his spare time by HenryH. Schultz, lawyer, who was a notable baseball playerin his undergraduate days here, was second. . . . Intra-murals, though little in the public eye, are flourishing,and the program for faculty members inaugurated lastyear has been augmented. The indoor tennis courts inthe field house are so popular that they are now beingused at night.THIS HAM NEEDSNO PARBOILING. . . it's Swift's Premium and it's Ovenized!HERE IS A DELICIOUSWAY TO SERVE IT!Bake Swift's PremiumThis Easy Way:Place a whole or half Swift'sPremium Ham in a roaster.
