He studied at theUniversity of Munich and at theAmerican School for Classical Studies at Rome. After ten years ashead of the Latin department at theUniversity of Pittsburgh and oneyear at Iowa State University, Dr.Ullman returned to Chicago in 1925as Professor of Latin. For morethan twenty years, he has been onthe editorial staff of one or more ofthe classical journals; he is the author of many a book, a frequent contributor to the magazines. He knowshis ancient Rome — and he knows hispresent day America. In two interesting and pertinent articles, portionsof which have appeared in the Classical Journal, he offers to the readersof the Magazine an enlightening presentation of old politics and newpoliticians.Thomas Vernor Smith is knownas "Tee Vee" to his associates on thequadrangles, but down in Springfieldthey call him "Tom." At least theycall him "Tom" so long as he voteswith the machine, and when he jumpsthe traces, the names they call himwill not bear repetition in thesepages. And Tom is the championjumper of this state administration.Not that he jumps so often, but thathe jumps so high. And every jumphas endeared him the more to hisassociates back on the quadranglesand to other thousands of Illinois citizens. At the University he teaches the principles involved in moral action and at Springfield he practicesthem, which is about as complete anendorsement as this republican editorcan give his democratic senator.Griffith Taylor came to the University in 1929 as professor of Geography. Before that he had taught inthe Universities of Melbourne andSydney, had served for the durationof the war on the staff of the Commonwealth of Australia FlyingSchool, had spent two years as seniorgeologist with the Scott AntarcticExpedition, had travelled the worldover.

Certainly the study ofhistory cannot enable us to forecast future events with asmuch accuracy as a study of astronomy permits us topredict an eclipse. When history repeats itself it doesnot do so verbatim. The component parts of an eventare too numerous and varied to make it possible forthem to come together again in an identical formation.But human nature does not change much, and historyis the story of human nature. So it is true that historyboth does and does not repeat itself. After all nothingis truer than a paradox. If this sounds like GertrudeStein, I am sorry.Many historians, because they feel that history doesnot repeat itself completely, are very suspicious of parallels. It is certainly true that many suspicious parallelshave been perpetrated on a guileless world. But bettera bad parallel than none at all, especially in the classroom. Why is the minister in the pulpit permitted todraw — and applauded for doing it — the most far-fetchedparallels between biblical and modern situations when atthe same time the teacher in the classroom is asked toadhere to standards of sober unimaginative truth thatbefit only the seminar and the learned society ? Of courseI should prefer to have parallels that are apt and thatwill meet the approval of a historians' board of censorship. But my slogan is "My parallel, right or wrong/'It has often been noted that the history of the Roman Republic throws interesting light on the politicalproblems of our own time. So shrewd an observer ofAmerican politics as Senator James Hamilton Lewis hasbeen strongly impressed with the great importance whichRoman history has for us Americans. Years ago he incorporated his ideas in a book called The Two GreatRepublics, Rome and the United States. His generalconclusion is : "It is never by the destruction of libertythat the evils of popular rule can be eliminated. In thepast, in the present, and in the future, the only remedyfor the evils of liberty is more liberty ; and the lessonwhich should be learned from the fall of the Romanrepublic is that any country, where the privileged classes > By B. L ULLMAN, '03, PhD'08, Professor of Latinare suffered to retain their unjust privileges at the expense of the community, must in the end suffer somesuch terrible penalty as that paid by Rome under thetyranny and misrule of the Roman empire." In passing,however, we may remark that this statement about thetyranny and misrule of the Roman empire reminds usof what Mark Twain said about the report of his death,that it was grossly exaggerated. Again, Senator Lewissays: "Political equality is never by itself sufficient tosecure either the protection of the weaker members ofsociety or the general welfare of the community." Hebelieves that the other essential is economic justice.There is a story about the visit of M. Leon Berard,formerly minister of public instruction in France, to aCicero class in a lycee (high school) in Paris. It bearsrepeating. A newspaper correspondent describes whathappened as follows :"The bright young men of the lycee were going ingood form. So was the professor. In fact, they werehaving such a hot discussion as to the character andpolitics of old M. Cicero and the way he got after thatrascal Catiline, that the minister thought he'd butt inhimself. Selecting a particularly bright youth, he asked :'Sir, how would you sum up this oration of Cicero?What does it prove TTt proves, Mr. Minister,' replied the young philosopher, 'that there is no morality in politics !' "In American parlance this means that politics is aracket. And what is a racket? It is an occupation inwhich an individual profits by cleverness, insincerity,dishonesty and lack of scruples but does so without running afoul of the law. Webster s Dictionary defines theword in its fully developed post-war sense for the firsttime in its 1934 edition, as follows : "A system of obtaining money or other advantage fraudulently or undeservedly, usually with the outward consent of the victims ; as, the fortune-telling racket." In politics the demagogue has a racket.But let us take up some of the details of ancientpolitics. In their campaign methods the Roman politicians were not unlike our own. They made speechesfull of generous promises, they went about solicitingvotes, they often resorted to bribery. Fortunately for4 THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINEthe Roman voter, a public postal system had not beenperfected and the voter was not deluged with electionmaterial. Violence was sometimes used.The election posters at Pompeii throw considerablelight on the devious ways by which votes were won. Atypical poster is the following: "Publius Furius forduovir. A good man. I ask you to vote for him." Oneposter promises that a certain candidate will watch thetreasury. This reminds us of our own former "watchdog of the treasury." No one seems to care to play thatrole today. Another poster advertises a certain candidate as delivering good bread. Others ask for the support of a particular class, as the fishermen and even theballplayers. It seems to have been customary for theopposition to put up fake posters; thus one poster proclaims that all the sneak-thieves support So-and-So, another that all the late-drinkers support him ; still anotherpromises the support of the sleepers. At the end of another poster we find the pleasant remark: "May themalicious person who erases this sign get sick." In theirenterprise the Roman politicians put posters even ontombstones, a fact which will be a surprise to those of uswho think that in advertising the American of today isin a class by himself. On one tombstone near Rome wefind, not the phrase current with us, "Post no bills under penalty of law," but the far more effective prayerthat candidates who put up their posters there may failof election.A second matter is the franchise. We recall thatCicero was a novus homo — "a new man" — and we recallhow often he comments on this fact and how proud heis of his achievements in spite of it. What does thisphrase mean? It is a matter of the greatest significancefor Roman history. The Romans did not have the individual equal ballot. They voted by classes and thenumber of persons in the various classes varied considerably, with the result that the votes of certain individuals were far more valuable than those of others. Thisrestriction of the franchise made it possible for a smallgroup to keep control of the government. Cicero wasone of the few men to break through this ring.Such a situation is a familiar one in many countriesand has at times led to revolts. Even in the UnitedStates there are certain analogous conditions. There iswhat is called "nullification." The federal constitutioncalls for an apportionment of representatives among thestates in accordance with their population. The rapidgrowth of certain sections as compared with others makesa reapportionment necessary at frequent intervals. Butwhen no reapportionment is made for a long time, assometimes happens, the vote of an individual for representative is worth much less in one state than in another.This is also true within the several states. In Illinois thecity of Chicago has far less than its constitutional quotaof representatives in the state legislature. As a resultthe representatives of the rural sections have had theupper hand. Thus the vote of the people living on thefarms and in the small towns has been much more influential than that of the urban population.In the case of senators our constitution deliberatelyprovides that each state shall have two, regardless ofthe size and population of the state. The result is thata vote for senator in Nevada, with a population of 91,000, is worth 138 times as much as a corresponding-vote in New York, with a population of twelve and a halfmillion, and 105 times as much as the vote in Pennsylvania, which has over nine and a half million people.A third matter is that of campaign issues. Thegreatest of these in the last century and more of theRoman republic centered about agrarian legislation. Theissue was a simple one but not easily solved, especiallyafter it became a football of the politicians, who used itfor their own ends. In one way or another the publiclands in Italy had been acquired by a small group ofmen. The problem was to get better distribution, especially since the population had increased and the largelandholders did not as a rule grow wheat. As a resulttwo things happened: Many people wanted land whocould not get it, and the scarcity of wheat necessitatedimportation and higher prices.Different men offered different solutions. Somewere in favor of confiscation of the lands that originallybelonged to the government and of large estates in general ; others advocated their purchase. Tiberius Gracchuswanted agrarian legislation so that unemployed Romanscould be sent to farms. From the time of the Gracchito that of Cicero and Caesar this was a very live issue.All through that period the social revolution was on.In the year of his consulship Cicero made four speecheson proposed agrarian legislation. Honest differences ofopinion and political insincerity constantly prevented areal solution of the question.The land question has figured prominently in themodern world. It played an important part in the various revolutions in Mexico and Russia. The Russianrevolution started with the cry for land. The firstproblem of the revolution was to break up large estatesand to destroy peonage. Today the land problem is stilla great one in Russia but has taken on an entirely different form with the development of collectivization. Thecampaign against the kulaks, or prosperous farmers,does, however, bear some analogy to the more radicalproposals made in Roman times against the large landowners.In the United States we have had relatively littletrouble with this problem, as we have been alert to avoidthe exploitation of land. The question has come upchiefly in connection with mineral and oil lands or landsnear irrigation or water power projects. The wholeconservation movement is related to the agrarianproblem.In some parts of the country there is a great dealof tenant farming. The evils of this system presentsome analogies to the Roman situation. But the mainfarm problem of the hour is quite a different one: thatof reducing the farmer's debts and of giving him a fairprice for his products. This problem, too, the Romanshad to face, especially in Cicero's time, as we shall see.The CAL, or California Authority for Land, is partof Upton Sinclair's scheme. It envisages the establishment of land colonies for the unemployed on land thathas been taken over by the state for failure to pay taxes.This is exactly like the agrarian schemes of the Gracchiand their successors. Apparently the plan does not, inits present stage at least, give permanent title to theworkers. This was true also of the Gracchan legislation,THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINE 5at least to the extent that the holder was not permittedto sell his land and was forced to pay at least a nominalrental.The problem of getting enough to eat is an eternalone and naturally gets into politics. The form of theproblem varies from time to time. During and after theWorld War the cost of living rose more rapidly thanwages, and the wage earner had difficulty ingetting enough to eat for his wages. Morerecently the cost of living has been low butthe wage earner has had no job and no wages. Theresult for him is the same. The Romans had the problem ever with them. Their example is a warning to usto keep the question out of politics as a party issue. Themany wheat laws (or corn laws, as we still call them inimitation of the English usage) were the Roman solution of the problem. The plan of Gaius Gracchus wasperhaps intended to prevent wild fluctuations in the priceof wheat, caused by alternating crop failures and banner crops. To achieve this purpose he seems to havebuilt grain elevators in Rome in which to store wheatbought at reasonable prices. He then sold it to theRomans at half the current price. The aim was to provide for the Roman consumer rather than to aid thefarmer, but the project bears some resemblance to ourfarmers' cooperative movement. In later years grainwas sold below cost, for political profit, and finally it wasgiven away to thousands of Roman citizens. The proudphrase civis Romanus sum ("I am a Roman citizen")came to have an economic value. The end of it all issummed up in Juvenal's remark that the Roman populacecare for nothing but panem et circenses, which we mayparaphrase as a "square meal and a movie."Today the solution is slightly different: In England there is the dole, in America we have the same institution under the name of relief. Already some persons have reached the panem et circenses stage. Abeauty-parlor operator reports that she hired a barber.When he did not turn up, she investigated and learnedthat he and his wife had decided that it was better tostay on relief. They had enough for food and an occasional movie, and besides the husband could stay athome and take care of the baby while the wife wentshopping or to a show.A newspaper subscriber, noting the announcementthat free vaudeville was to be provided and associatingthis with the bread line, concluded that bread and circuses had arrived and wondered whether some historianwould some day be writing of the decline and fall ofthe American republic.But direct relief by the federal government is beingsuperseded by an enlarged public works program. Thismethod was not unknown to the Romans. Gaius Gracchus undertook an ambitious program of road building,partly at least to find employment for the jobless. Nodoubt this plan was followed on other occasions too.There are those who say today that the relief fund, the bounties to farmers, and the public works fund areclever political devices to retain the support of the voter.Col. Theodore Roosevelt says that the Maine electionwas "bought and paid for" with "millions of dollars ofthe taxpayers' money." Whether this be true or not, theclaim reminds us of the methods used by the Romanpoliticians who gained or kept their popularity by freedistribution of wheat. Official statements have beenissued that about 19,500,000 people were on relief inJanuary, 1935. This is about 17% of the population.In 63 B. C. about 200,000 families received the dole,about 11% of the population of Italy and probably amajority of the inhabitants of Rome. By 48 B. C. thenumber had increased to 320,000. It will be seen thatthe political potentiality of those now receiving reliefis no slight one. A newspaper writer opposed to theadministration stated that the Republicans running foroffice last fall promised even more relief. To quote,"Every candidate of both parties is doing his quiet bestto convince the relief-roll voters that, if elected, theycan count him a friend. In many districts 'more andbigger relief has become the undercover candidatorialslogan, and the rivalry is as to which can promise mostto the 'boys on the relief.' " That is exactly what happened in Rome. It is reported that a Democratic circular distributed in North Dakota under the title "TheNew Deal— What It Has Done for North Dakota"reads : "Our great president has heard our cry for helpand has answered it. Will you bite the hand that feedsyou ?" It is quite likely that those who distributed grainto the Roman populace asked the same question.Though the question of woman's rights is not sopressing a political problem now as it was a few yearsago when woman suffrage was under discussion, someparallels are interesting. Roman women had a greatdeal of political influence behind the scenes, though theydid not have the ballot. The question of woman's rightsbecame a pressing one several times in Roman history.In the year 195 B. C. the women protested because thesumptuary laws directed against the display of jewelryand fine clothing had not been repealed. The stern old-fashioned Cato was of course opposed to the women andin the course of a speech he made the following remarks :"Tell me, if you allow the women to seize and wrestprivileges from you one by one, and finally to becomeyour equals, do you think that you can stand them ? Assoon as they have begun to be your equals they will beyour superiors." A century and a half later a surtaxwas levied on the incomes of certain rich women, andone of them made the following speech: "Why shouldwe pay taxes, when we have no part in the honors, thecommands, the statecraft, for which you contend againstone another with such harmful results?" This argument was much used in this country by the advocatesof woman suffrage because the same argument led tothe independence of this nation.(To be continued)BOOKSAnd the Business of LivingBOOKS often appear to lie like obstacles betweenmen and life. They shut us out from the heaventhat lies about us in our infancy; they becomethe bars of that prison house that shades the growingboy. They do this not merely by substituting thinly forthicker experiences but also by organizing the experienceswhich they mediate and thus enchanneling the juices oflife in cramped arteries of wordiness.Lincoln Steffens has delightfully told how the devilworks his ends by organizing everything into the oppositeof what organizers of humane movements intend. Thusthe devil has baulked the world's great religions; thushas he frustrated all labor movements ; thus seeks he toneutralize the fine motives of authors of books. "I willtempt each and all," Steffens quotes the devil upon thesecret of his success, "I will tempt him to organize it."*If we teachers are ever tempted to forget that in theorganizing impetus the devil veritably works, let us correct his nefarious influence operative in books — whichare organized segments of human experience — by remembering that human feeling and the concrete activities ofthe day's work come both logically and morally beforeany and all literary expression of them. If we find ourselves slipping — as sometimes we shall — -we will do wellto be warned by one of Kipling's heroes, Tomlinson.After leading a pale parlor life, Tomlinson died. Theonly virtues he could muster as credentials at the gate ofSt. Peter were those he had got from a book. So hewas bundled off to hell. That, however, was not thereal "hell of it." For when the devil, touched to sympathy by his plight was about to take him in the devildiscovered the bookish thinness of Tomlinson's soul —his vices no less than his virtues being paleish with print.Ordered the devil of his cohorts :Go husk this whimpering thief that comes in theguise of a man :Winnow him out 'twixt star and star, and sieve hisproper worth :There's sore decline in Adam's line if this bespawn of earth.Reporting upon their application to him of the "thirddegree," the imps concluded :We have threshed a stook of print and book, andwinnowed a chattering windAnd many a soul wherefrom he stole, but his wecannot find :We have handled him, we have dandled him, wehave seared him to the bone,And sure if tooth and nail show truth he has nosoul of his own.Then with whines from the turning book-worm andapologies from the self-respecting devil, the incarnated*Having once quoted this whole story against Satan in "An OpenLetter to the Devil" published in these columns in May, 1928, I forbearreciting it again. • By T. V. SMITH, PhD '22, Professor of Philosophy"stook of print and book" was hurtled back to earthwith this injunction:Go, get ye back to the flesh again for the sake ofMan's repute.I'm all o'er-sib to Adam's breed that I should mockyour pain,But look that ye win to worthier sin e'er ye comeback again.Go back to Earth with a lip unsealed — go back withan open eye,And carry my word to the Sons of Men or ever yecome to die :That the sin they do by two and two they must payfor one by one —And .... the God that you took from a printed bookbe with you, Tomlinson !It is acknowledged, however, that in a devil's world,devilish devices may enhance good living. In his essentially self-contradictory character — the poor fellow, youknow, is not well integrated — the devil provides us withhomeopathic remedies for most of his guiles. It oftenseems, with our American poet, that —At the devil's booth all things are sold,An ounce of dross costs an ounce of gold ;For a cap and bells our lives we pay,Baubles we buy with a whole soul's tasking.But we know for a fact that out of trifles, rightly combined, greatness grows ; and we can be assured thatthrough proper wiles on our part the devil's guiles maybe turned against the devil, to our own deliverance.IThe devil, for instance, in the morning of our earthlylife tempted us through the Eve of our hope to eat theapple and grow wise. Books can give us what the applepromised but failed to provide : they can give us knowledge. Man starts life more helpless and unknowingthan any other domestic animal. What he can possiblylearn directly from his own blundering experience during his three score years and ten is not a drop in thebucket of knowledge which he needs if he is to make themost of his life. The wind that blows does not makehim wise any more than do the ravens feed him. Hemust tap directly the granary of his race if he is to seelife steadily and to live it whole. Within the small compass of twenty-six letters are written down for us thehopes and fears, the knowledge and superstition, thesuccesses and failures of mighty men who buffeted fatebefore our day. So fully may we draw upon theirdeposit that there is hardly a situation that need provewholly new to us. Forewarned, we are thus forearmed against the major vicissitudes of life.In the literary legacies of others we may learn howto live long, or to die quickly if die we will ; how to grow6THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINE 7fat if thin, thin if fat ; how to live happy though marriedor how to develop "it" and get married; how to makemoney and invest it, or how to bear up if we lose it.In short we have books that tell us anything and everything from how to do wrong legally to how to find Godmystically. These books of information enlarge ourpresent with a far-reaching past and with a limitlessfuture; they show us that our job of living is boundup with the whole cosmic process, and they extend ourvision and enlarge our grasp a thousandfold. But forbooks to tell us how to live, we should soon be livinglike animals again.IIBooks do more, indeed, than tell us how to live.They also inspire us with the will to live well. Information in itself is dead ; inspiration is living. Of what oneof us may it not sometimes be said —He ate and drank the precious words,His spirit grew robust;He knew no more that he was poor,Or that his frame was dust.He danced along the dingy days,And this bequest of wingsWas but a book. What libertyA loosened spirit brings !John Stuart Mill, trained to be a logic machine,serves us as an object lesson. Before adolescence he hadbecome a proficient linguist in dead as well as in livingtongues and a marvelous thinker ; but almost beforeadolescence was over he had lost, as he tells us in hisAutobiography, the will to use his vast store of information. Man delighted not him, no, nor woman neither ;the world was out of joint, and life had gone stale.Then, one day he read some poetry from Wordsworth. It was as if a new pole star had swung into hisken. Zest returned, and he set out upon a career forwhich most of the world has lived to be glad. To itspoets and other inspirers the world owes more than itknows or can ever pay. It may be a sonnet at sunrise,or a psalm at noon, or a novel at night; but blessed isthe man who finds the dynamic to touch him to his best.And thrice blessed is he who touches dead men to lifeand hope and endeavor. A poetic colleague here at theUniversity — Professor W. E. Garrison — has in theselines beautifully clothed my thought:Softly I closed the book as ih a dream,And let its echoes linger to redeemSilence with music, darkness with its gleam.That day I worked no more, I could not bringMy hands to toil, my thoughts to trafficking.A new light shone on every common thing.Celestial glories flamed before my gaze. That day I worked no more. But, to God's praise,I shall work better all my other days.IllIn some near-ideal world, men would need no morefrom books than information and inspiration. This depression-ridden generation knows, however, that welive in a devil's world. In such a scene the ministryof books is with these two functions hardly more thanwell begun. The specialization that civilization imposesupon us in normal times offers inadequate expression toour many-sided natures. And the frustration of thatspecialization in abnormal times complicates our emotional lives beyond bounds.As James Harvey Robinson long ago put it in hisMind in the Making, each of us carries four levels ofculture about with him. There is first the adult civilizedperson, then the child, after that the savage, and finallythe animal. We have not outgrown our earlier stages,but have merely overgrown them. They are all presentand will sooner or later have their day. We need someharmless and if possible fruitful way of giving expressionto these buried selves over which we have climbed onthe way to higher things. Sublimation, that is a tremendously important service of books to modern men;for this is one way in which primitive impulses are keptfrom playing havoc with the fragile house that civilizationhas built for morality.Now there is hardly a childish whim, a savage passion, or an animal rage that we could not drain harmlessly off through the avenue of a book fitted to the precise occasion. In novels we kill our enemies withoutgoing to jail, marry our loves without the expense ofa license or the penalty of bigamy, and flatter ourselvesimmoderately without a blush of shame or any lossof respectability. Every "brown study" is momentaryindulgence in the gentle art of living on dreams of ourown future greatness.Sublimation is a heavy necessity in modern life.For we have grown wise enough to know that to repressour impulses violently, however bad they may be, is notthe fruitful way to deal with them. They will seemto disappear only to reappear in an hour of weakness,bringing wicked companions with them, to occupy ourhouse and drive us out disgraced from our own habitation. Error, like truth, when crushed down, will riseagain. The eternal years of Satan's are hers.We must therefore learn to respect every part ofour nature, and to provide some decent expression foreven the child, the savage, and the animal without ourpersonal gates. Browning long ago caught well the spiritof this imperative in his Rabbi Ben Ezra:(Continued on Page 21)ARYAN, GERMAN, NORDIC, JEWIT is rare indeed for British scientists to interferewith foreign politics — but the extraordinary perversion of truth which lies at the back of some of theNazi policy led last year to an indignant outburst in theLondon Times, which was signed by some of the mosteminent British anthropologists.1 The writer proposesto traverse some of the problems indicated in the titleof this article. It is perhaps pertinent to state that hisinterest in Jewish affairs is wholly academic, and thathe does not know (or care) if he is of Nordic Raceor not.Hitler and his lieutenants reiterate that they arelargely concerned with the "purity of the Race" — thusindicating that they purport to be dealing with biologicaland not with cultural units in their attempts to improveGerman conditions. Yet of the four terms forming theheading of this article, only one (Nordic) is concernedwith biological divisions; the other three are culturaland have essentially nothing to do with Race. It cannotbe too often repeated that the words Aryan, German, andJew should refer only to man-made conditions — tolanguage, to nation, or to religion respectively.There are plenty of negroes who are as Aryan asany white man — since their sole language belongs to theAryan group. In North Africa there are numbers ofnegroes who are Jews — since this is purely a question ofthe religion they profess. It seems logical to assume thatsome negroes are "German"- — if they are citizens belonging to that national unit — since the word "German"^This letter is quoted — and the "Aryan Absurdity" discussed — in anequally indignant leader_ in Nature (18 August 1934), the chief organof general science in Britain. • By GRIFFITH TAYLORessentially means "a member of the German nation" andnot merely a person who speaks the German language.If the latter were accepted as a definition we should haveto call "German" most of the nationals of Austria andmany in Switzerland and Eastern France.As in many other debatable social problems, nothingsimplifies the discussion better than charting the data inquestion. Let us therefore consider the accompanyingmaps in which the four topics of the present article aredelineated, and necessarily distinguished from eachother.2 What is an Aryan? We may best answer inthe words of the philologist, Max Muller. "To me, anethnologist who speaks of an Aryan Race, Aryan blood,etc., is as great a sinner as a linguist who speaks of adolichocephalic (i. e., long-headed) dictionary. ... If Isay Aryan, I mean simply those who speak the Aryanlanguage."When we come to examine the distribution of theAryan languages we find that they have nothing whatever to do with race. We do not know what breed ofman first spoke the "mother" Aryan Tongue, but nothing is more certain than that "daughters" of this usefulmethod of speech have spread across many races in thepast, just as they are capturing millions of negroes today.However, in Europe — as the left hand map shows — themajority of Europeans speak languages of the Aryanfamily. Such are all the Teutonic languages, which include English and German, as well as the Romance andSlav languages. But there are important representatives2A fairly complete discussion of these problems will be found in thewriter's books Environment and Race (Oxford, 1927) and Environmentand Nation (in the Press).Map of Europe showing the distribution of Ayran and Altaic Languages. The area of the German Nation is also charted. Map of Europe showing the distribution of the Nordic Race(dotted), and of the folk who profess the Jewish Religion.The Alpine and Mediterranean Races (M) are also indicated.THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINE 9of other main linguistic families in Europe, especially ofthe Altaic type. To the latter belong the Finns, Letts,Magyars (of Hungary), Bashkirs and Tatars of Russia,and Turks of Turkey. A scientific usage of the word"Non-Aryan" as applied to European peoples wouldcertainly refer primarily to the Altaic speakers specifiedabove.Some readers will say "What about Yiddish — thesole language of millions of Jews?" It not this a non-Aryan language, a Semitic language?" I can best replyto this query by another. Does the stenographer changehis language when he writes it in Pitman's shorthand?Is it not still English, still Aryan? So also the Jewwhen he speaks Yiddish is essentially speaking an earlytype of Middle German, whose familiarity is hidden fromGentiles since it is written in the Hebrew alphabet.Until the sixteenth century the German Jews spoke thecorrect German of that date. When many of themmigrated from the Rhineland to Poland and adjacentcountries they introduced their German speech, and incourse of time through lack of intercourse with Germanythis became considerably modified. It was simplified,and thereby made more useful, and gained no doubt manySlav and Hebrew words, but it is still essentially sixteenth century German written in a foreign script.3 Hereis surely no basis for applying the term non-Aryan tothe Jew. Rather might Hitler welcome them as "Judeq-Germans," who had the discrimination to adopt (and,dare one say, improve) what must be the most gloriousof languages, Hitler's own!Let us turn now to the question of Race. Althoughthere is not complete agreement as to the major races ofthe world, there is little objection to the three divisionssuggested by Ripley for Europe. His groups are indicated in the right hand map. The Alpine race is the mostnumerous and the most prolific. It occupies centralEurope in the form of a wedge extending westward fromAsia, as far as the Pyrenees. To the north, surroundingthe North Sea, are the Nordics — the greatest disturbersof World Peace in history. They are still rich in energy,but each generation is becoming poorer in offspring, sothat presently they must necessarily cease from troubling.To the south and west live the dark, slender peopleknown as Mediterranean. It is the writer's firm beliefthat these same races are found far beyond Europe inNorth Africa, Asia, and in aboriginal America. Someyears ago Hilaire Belloc wrote ^ skit on the NordicRace richer in humor than in scientific accuracy. Thefollowing rhyme may, if the reader pleases, be taken as askit on Belloc. It describes the arrival of the threeRaces in Europe some ten thousand years ago.A Rhyme of RaceFolk far beyond the "Middle Sea"Mediterranean seem to be.Short and dark (some call them Dago)First from the Caspian Cradle — they go !In Europe — right from edge to edge-Extends that thrusting Alpine Wedge,Their heads are broad, eyes dark, straight hair,No lack of daughters to each pair.3For instance; Es is gar all's kein Neu-es nischt unter der Sunn, isYiddish. Yet any beginner in German can read it ("There is no newthing under the Sun.") Lastly arrived the Nordic manBuilt on a most superior plan,Blue eyes and hair that's (sometimes) gold(Yet wise men say his tale is told).This is the meaning of my rhyme,Let's have goodwill and lots of timeLet's send race-hatred to damnationLet's mix good stocks — till the world's one nation.4What place have the Germans among these races?Even here Hitler's ethnology is all at fault. Like theother most progressive nations in Europe Germany isracially hybrid. The northern German plain is Nordic,the southern hilly country is Alpine, as is obvious in theright-hand map. One of my students a few months agocharted eminent Germans according to their birthplace(and probable racial origin) ; and found, as one mightexpect, that Alpine Bavaria had at least as high a claimto our regard as Nordic Prussia. Britain is a hybrid ofNordic and Mediterranean. France, leader in culturethrough the centuries, is the sole European nation which"mixes good stocks" in about equal doses from each ofthe three races. To be sure, Spain is nearly "pure" inRace— and so are Sweden and Norway. But these countries can hardly be counted as the most progressive inEurope. Many years of study given to this problem bythe writer have left him convinced that all three races inEurope have made great contributions to progress, butthat no one but a national "booster" could place one ofthe European races definitely ahead of another as regardscultural advances.What is a Jew? He is one of the curiosities ofhistory — a member of a nation without a home— so thathis millions are widely distributed over the world today.The Jewish nation is not formed of one race — any morethan the British or German. It is not even linked byone tongue — though Yiddish, i. e., Judeo-German, iswidely spoken. It is, as we all know, a large group ofpeople linked by a profession of a very ancient form ofmonotheism, the Jewish Religion. The Jew then is notto be contrasted with the Aryan, or with the German, orwith the Nordic — but with the Gentile, whatever religionthe latter may profess. Yet the development of the largeJewish religious group is one of the most interesting inhistory — and the following account is, in the writer'sopinion, the most likely to explain the complexities inthe Jewish racial make-up.Today there are about thirteen million Jews, ofwhom four million live in Western Russia, two millionin Poland, two million in New York, one million in ornear Hungary, and half a million each in Rumania andGermany. Thus the German Jews, who are being treatedso brutally by the Nazis, form only a small group of thisreligious community. It seems probable that the Jewswhen they lived in Palestine were essentially of Mediterranean race, like the vast majority of people in thatregion today. They spoke a Semitic tongue, for the mostpart Aramaic, akin to but not the same as Hebrew. Thelatter language was, however, taught in the Jewish religious schools, as it is today. In modern times we find that4The rather poor achievements of the negro race in world historymake it uncertain if they are to be considered as "good stocks.'' Weshould suspend judgment until they have had equal opportunities with theother races for several generations.10 THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINEthe Jews belong to two well-defined classes, often calledthe Spanish and Polish types. The former (Sephardim)are dark, slender "dokephs" (long-heads), definitely ofthe Mediterranean race. The latter type (Ashkenazim)are nine times as numerous and are short, stocky"brakephs" (broadheads), with little or nothing in common as regards race with their Spanish co-religionists.How have these remarkable changes of race, language,and habitat come about ?Long before the destruction of Jerusalem (A. D. 70)the Jews had emigrated in large numbers from Palestine.Many had gone to Egypt and thence had travelled intoother more western Mediterranean lands. The 'enforcedmigrations to Mesopotamia resulted in many Jews staying in the latter country when some returned to thelands of their fathers. Already we see two main lines ofmigration developing, and these have remained somewhat distinct since those early centuries. After theMoslem conquest the Jews were well treated in Spainfor some centuries and flocked there in large numbers.But almost the whole Jewish body was expelled fromSpain in 1492, and they fled to Morocco, to Naples, toAmsterdam, and especially to Salonika and Constantinople, where the Moslem Turks gave them an asylumfrom the ferocity of the Christians. These migrationschiefly concerned the Sephardim, or Jews of the Mediterranean Race.Meanwhile the other wing of the Jews in Palestine,Mesopotamia, etc., had climbed the Great Scarp ofAnatolia and had now come in contact with an entirelynew type of people, the Alpine Race (see map). Hereamong the Armenians the so-called "Jewish nose" ismuch more common than it ever was among the Jews ofPalestine, where indeed it is rare. The Jews spreadthrough Anatolia, ultimately passed the Caucasus andmany reached the lands of the Khazars in south-eastRussia. There were Jews in Kertch, north of the BlackSea, before the time of Christ, but the numbers hereabouts increased largely in the next five or six centuries.The Khazars, also known as the Royal Scythians orWhite Huns, were a group of people allied to the Turksand Magyars in race, who had largely settled down to atown and trading life during the second century of ourera. They lived around the Caspian Sea, which wasknown to the Arabs as the Bahr al Khazar. During theGolden Age of the Khazars (600 to 950) they were thegreat traders of southern Russia, and controlled theregion between the Dnieper River and the Caspian.About 740 A. D. their ruler, Khan Bulan, was converted to the Jewish religion as were great numbers ofhis people ; and after the time of Khan Obadiah none but a Jew was allowed to reign. However in 862 the NordicVarangians founded a Russian monarchy and this sooncame into conflict with the flourishing people to thesoutheast. In 965 Sviatoslav of Kiev smashed theKhazar kingdom; and though they survived in theCrimea until 1016, after that date they soon vanishedfrom history. But there is little doubt in the writer'smind that the Polish Jew is largely derived from theKhazar Jews. Indeed, it is likely that their keen tradinginstincts are in part due to their association with theKhazars, just as their facial appearance is possibly dueto their Armenian blood. The Khazars undoubtedlytraded with the Poles and Russians to their northwest,for Lemberg and Halisz were on the great Trade Routeof early historic times. It is indeed rather suggestive thatthe Polish Jews' name for his own people is Ashkenazim,which is the same word ("Scythian") as was originallyapplied to the Khazars.After the persecution of the Jews in West Europe,there is of course no doubt that many of them fled forrefuge to Poland, and by the twelfth century the twogroups had come into contact.Today the main Jewish area in Europe extends fromOdessa through the Ukraine and Poland to Lithuania(see map). In this belt over fifteen per cent of the population are Jews, but only rarely and in the cities doesthe proportion rise above one-third. In Germany thenumber of Jews is almost negligible among the millionsof Gentiles. In all these central countries the Jews areracially the same as their neighbors, i. e., they are arather mixed variety of the Alpine type. So also theKhazars were Alpines and near to the south Russiansand Magyars in race, and since then the Jews like theMagyars have become still closer to the general CentralEuropean type. As we have seen, their Yiddish languageis essentially an Aryan tongue. No intelligent personcan object strongly to the main philosophy of the Jewishreligion, on which indeed Christianity is based. It is ofcourse the economic aspects of Jewish culture whichexcite the hatred of powerful groups of Anti-Semites, butthe so-called racial and religious arguments lend themselves better to propaganda. The expulsion of Jews because they are non-Christian is eminently un-Christian.Their persecution because they are of "Non- AryanRace" is the height of unscientific absurdity. Indeed, ifthe Nazis were logical most of the South Germans mightequally well be expelled from Germany, since they are ofthe same Alpine race as the great majority of the Jews,and were clearly the originators of the hated Yiddishdialect !rmm. ^*cT-.,rA"flie ^Tamllu -QllrumTHE ONLY alumna who has served as Chairman ofthe Alumni Council is Agnes R.

MILLETT, PhD '31, Associate Professor of EnglishCHARLES READ BASKERVILL, a member ofthe University Faculties since 1911 and Chairman of the Department of English since 1933,died suddenly on the evening of July twenty-third. Hewas a descendant of a well known Virginia family.* TheTennessee branch of the family was founded by hisgrandfather, John Tabb Baskervill (1801-1873), whowas graduated from a medical school in Philadelphia,practiced medicine for a time, and then became a Methodist minister. For a few years after migrating fromVirginia, he lived at La Grange, Tennessee, and in 1843married Margaret Malone of Malone Mt, Mississippi.Shortly thereafter, he bought Walsedge, a plantation inFayette County, about forty miles from Memphis, andspent the rest of his life there. Of three of his childrenwho reached maturity, the elder son, George Booth Baskervill (1847-1928), despite the anti-slavery convictionsshared by his father and himself, enlisted in the Confederate Army at the age of fifteen and a half, andserved with Forrest's brigade until its surrender almostthree years later. After the Civil War, he attended asmall college (now De Pauw) at Greencastle, Indiana,and became a Methodist minister. In 1869, he marriedSallie Lewis Read of Brownsville, Tennessee. Despitethe shifting life of a Methodist clergyman, he fairly earlyestablished his family at Walsedge, which became forhim an object of profound attachment. He ultimatelybought out the interests of his brother and sister, andwhen after a long career as presiding elder and pastorhe retired from the ministry at the age of sixty-two, hedevoted himself to agriculture during the week, and onSundays frequently preached in one or another of thelocal churches.Charles Read Baskervill, the oldest of the five children of GeorgeBooth and Sallie Read Baskervill toreach maturity, was born on April17, 1872, at Covington, Tennessee.He prepared for college at the localschool in Fayette County, but taughthimself Greek in preparation for admission to Vanderbilt University.There he engaged successfully inextra-curricular activities, and wonelection to Phi Beta Kappa by hisstudiousness. The development ofa serious eye ailment forced him towithdraw from the University inhis senior year and to spend twoyears in retirement at Walsedge.He received his B. A. degree in1896, and his M. A. (in Englishand Latin) in 1898 from Vanderbilt,where he studied and taught (1898-*For personal impressions' of Professor Baskervill, see "In My Opinion" in this issue. 99) under his uncle William Malone Baskervill, formany years head of the English Department there. Aftertwo years of teaching in Missouri, he came to the University of Chicago in the summer of 1901, and stayed onthrough the next winter as senior fellow in the Department of English. At this time, he met his future wife,Catherine Pendleton Quarles of Richmond, Virginia, ayoung graduate student in philosophy. In the spring of1902, his eyes again failed him, and he retired to Walsedgefor a period of over a year. He was urged to abandon hisdream of a scholarly career, and to take up farming forwhich he had marked aptitude, but, after his marriage toCatherine Quarles in August, 1903, he accepted theheadship of the Department of English in the CentralState Normal School of Oklahoma, and remained therewith his young wife for two years. By this time he hadchosen Elizabethan literature as his field of specialstudy, and it was in these days after his work for hisclasses was done that the broad foundations of hisknowledge of the period were established through listening to the reading of the literature of his favorite field.A return to the University of Chicago in the summer of1905 was followed by his acceptance of an instructorshipat the University of Texas. For two more years hiseyesight was impaired, but in 1907, it had improved sufficiently to warrant his accepting a second fellowshipand returning with his wife and his infant daughter,Latham, for a year of intensive application to readingand research at the University of Chicago. In 1908 hereturned to Texas for three more years of exacting toilat teaching and the writing of his dissertation.In 1911, he published his dissertation on EnglishElements in Jonson's Early Comedy, received his doctor's degree, and, on the retirementof Professor Frederic Ives Carpenter, was invited by John Matthews Manly to join the departmentas an instructor. He became anassistant professor in 1912, an associate professor in 1915, professor in1919, and chairman of the department on the retirement of ProfessorManly in 1933. His long years ofdevoted service were interruptedonly by a period of study abroad in1923-24, by summer teaching at theUniversity of Washington in 1926and at the University of Californiain 1927, and by his absence on leaveas research associate at the Huntington Library in 1929-30. In thespring of 1930, a serious illness lefthim with a heart ailment which curtailed his activities though it didnot daunt his spirit or prevent hiscarrying to fruition a number of hismost cherished projects.12THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINE 13The world beyond the University knew ProfessorBaskervill best as editor and as productive scholar. Hewas a member of the editorial board of ModernPhilology from 1914 until his death, served as editor ofits English section from 1916 to 1921, and was its managing editor from 1918 to 1921. The qualities whichmade him a great scholar made him a great editor. Hisimmense learning, his wide acquaintance with the scholarship of all periods of literature, his astute and discriminating judgment of the articles submitted to him assistedimmeasurably in making Modern Philology the mostaustere and distinguished of American learned periodicals in the literary field. In it appeared for the firsttime most of his important articles as well as innumerable reviews in which he measured the work of otherscholars by the tremendously high standards hedemanded of his own.The quality of his productive work was alreadyapparent in his dissertation, which, according to Jonson'slatest editors, is still a definitive treatment of the important topic to which he had characteristically devotedyears of study. A series of distinguished articles appeared at- intervals : Some Evidence for Early RomanticPlays in England (1916) ; Dramatic Aspects of Mediaeval Folk Festivals in England (1920) ; Bassanio as anIdeal Lover (1923) ; Mummers' Wooing Plays in England (1924). These studies illustrate one of his lifelongconcerns, the problem of disentangling the immenselycomplex threads of literary and non-literary native andforeign elements in the transition from Mediaeval toRenaissance culture. His passion for the byways ofliterature is evident in what is probably his greatest work,The Elizabethan Jig and Related Song Drama (1929), the result of years of collecting and study and of monthsof absorbed consideration of the most effective and beautiful technical means by which his manuscript could beproduced. His combination of rich scholarship andstrong aesthetic feeling also shone clearly in the gracefully allusive and lucid style of the introduction to Plutarch's Quyete of Mynde, translated by Sir Thomas Wyat(1931), a study resulting directly from his stay in theHuntington Library.With two of his former students, Virgil B. Heltzeland Arthur B. Nethercot, he edited a huge anthologyof Elizabethan and Tudor Drama (1934). His last completed work, Pierre Gring ore's Pageants for the Entry ofMary Tudor into Paris (1934) manifested his accustomed unsullied 'scholarship and literary grace.After the publication of the "jig-book," as he familiarly called it, Professor Baskervill's chief interestcentered in the ideas and ideals of the sixteenth century,and he hoped that the results of his study would takethe form of a book on Shakespeare's social and politicalideals.The students and faculty of the University of Chicago cherished Charles Read Baskervill, not only aseditor and scholar, but as counselor and friend. To thedisciple who worked for him, and the colleague whoworked with him, he was a guide and model of unimpeachable scholarly integrity. Affection and devotionwent step by step with admiration for his extraordinarymind and character. He was an unfailing source ofbenevolence and friendliness, of unspoken sympathy andmagnanimity. To the University and to the world ofscholarship, to colleagues and friends and family, hisdeath is an incalculable loss.Chicago Alumni in the Current MagazinesAsia — OctoberRashin, New Gateway to Asia,George B.

Leidecker,PhD'27EDUCATIONAL ENTERTAINMENTThe University Broadcasting Council• By HOWARD P. HUDSON, '35UNIVERSITY radio enters the big time! When,on October 9, the National Broadcasting Company saluted the new University BroadcastingCouncil in a chain program from its new well-appointedstudios in the Carbide and Carbon Building, a groupbelieving firmly that education can be entertaining, therewas no doubt of the high ranking of this school in radioeducation.For the new council, formed by Northwestern, DePaul and the University of Chicago in a cooperative formuncommon in educational circles, is mainly the workof Chicago men, Chicago prestige in radio. We cannot gainsay the invaluable help of our neighboringschools, but since the historic date of 1922 when Professor Moulton's talk over WMAQ announced the University's entrance into the field, its leadership has beeneasily apparent.Never owning a station, the University of Chicagohas been able to secure time over the principal localstations, and since 1933 the National Broadcasting Company network. Its programs have been freshly original,from the first of jail classroom broadcasts to the nationally famous Round Table.Plans for the new council, greatly enlarging thescope of the University radio program, have been underway for months. When the formal announcement wasmade in September the influence of the University wasimmediately seen. Allen Miller, '26, director of theradio department of the University of Chicago, is thedirector of the new organization. A board of trusteeswith two members from each of the participating universities will be empowered with the executive control.These men are W. H. Spencer, JD'13, dean of theSchool of Business, and Carl F. Huth, dean of University college and the Home Study department; DeanRalph H. Dennis and Mr. Edward H. Stromberg fromNorthwestern University, and Dean Howard E. Eganand Mr. David M. Sharer of DePaul University. DeanSpencer will act as president with Mr. Stromberg, vice-president, and Mr. Sharer, treasurer.Financial plans call for an annual operating budgetof $75,000, which will be raised by the three universitiesand the Rockefeller Foundation, as well as the outletunits. These outlet units include the National Broadcasting Company, Columbia Broadcasting System, andthe Mutual Broadcasting System, operating through stations WGN, WENR, WLS, WMAQ, WBBM, andWJJD. Since all the outlets will be fed from the central control panels in the downtown studios, the Council becomes the first educational network in the country.In case there is any doubt at this point that educational radio is desired by the general listener, it mightbe well to quote from a recent survey of the radio audience in Chicago made by Allen Miller. "A house-to- Allen Millerhouse canvass of radio homes ranging in the economicscale from the gold coast to the slums showed that49.7% of all radio homes were following University ofChicago features fairly regularly. This means that over250,000 listeners within the city limits of Chicago aloneregularly follow University programs for their enlightenment upon modern problems. The public need and desire for good educational features by radio has been demonstrated convincingly." With the support and strengthof the Council reaching into every corner of the nation,imagine how that figure will be enlarged!Despite this demonstrated need for education viaradio, the founding of the Council has been a long uphillbattle carried on by Allen Miller for more than a year.The fight sent him to Washington last winter to appearbefore the federal communications commission. Herehe was challenged to solve these four main points of;difficulty of the present educational radio: (1) Therehas never been any serious designing of programs tomeet the requirements of radio. (2) The necessity oftrained experts has been overlooked. (3) There hasbeen no financial support. (4) Educators have neverbeen able to cooperate. His solution was the Council.And when they had agreed, finally, the job had justbegun.There was the small matter of binding together thediverse interests of universities unaccustomed to practicing what they preached, the union of minds on anintellectual plane for the advancement of knowledge.14THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINE 15But the job was done, and now there exists at 230 NorthMichigan Boulevard the most perfect radio laboratory inthe country for experimentation in educational radio.Physically, the plant is all that can be desired. Twomodern studios, completely up to date technically, areadjacent to the offices housing the director and his staffof continuity writers, production men, technicians, andan office force. Experienced radio people are busy onthis new experiment of making 'education palatable.Hazel Huntley, former program manager of WMAQ, isin charge of the office, while James Whipple, of Hollywood, NBC and CBS, handles production. MalcolmRomberg, the University operator for eleven years, supervises the technical end. Joseph E. Weckler, Jr., '28,is the campus manager at Mitchell Tower, and Ruth A.Waits, '23, is Mr. Miller's secretary. Stuart Hayden,ex-newspaperman, is the publicity director.What sort of programs are they planning for theradio audience? The tentative list, as prepared, is fardifferent from the usual run of talks presented by leading educators, who, despite their recognized scholarship,possess little of radio personality. There is a definitetrend toward dramatic skits of a professional naturewhich should prove as entertaining as they are soundeducationally, with the difficult aim of pleasing an audience ranging from the nearly illiterate to PhD's. Hereis a brief prevue of the programs soon to be heard :The Old Judge, a dramatic program presenting com mon legal problems. The two main characters are theOld Judge, a man who has retired after years of serviceon the bench, and his faithful negro retainer. Clientsstill come to him for advice, which the Judge gives in asimplified philosophical manner, hammering home oneor two points of law that are most commonly perplexing.A Living Casebook, which will be given partiallyfrom the Juvenile Court and partially by an authority onchild psychology and juvenile delinquency. Followingthe case before the court, it will be interpreted by thepsychologist.Echoes of Sciences, a dramatization of the lives ofgreat scientists. The important scientific contribution ofthe character will afford the climax, the significance ofthis contribution being explained.Your Local Government, an interview of heads ofcity and county governmental departments conducted byMr. David Sharer of DePaul. Listeners may submitquestions in advance to be asked of politicians, questionspertinent to the department and its operations.Philosophers in Hades, a revival of a popular program presenting timeless philosophies in a dramatic show.Crime Detection and Prevention, a partially dramatized program based upon the records and informationof Northwestern's crime laboratory.Music Lovers' Hour, a program of fine symphonicrecordings,{Continued on Page 21)The University Round Table in Action. Professors Garfield Cox, Quincy Wright and William H. Spencer address theirradio audience.BRIDE AND GROOM AT LARGEWHEN Kyle Anderson, baseball coach and Instructor in Physical Education at Chicago, wasmarried on June 11th, there was no frivolousdemonstration or old time charivari, but wait The honeymoon was planned to include a motortrip to the southwest coast in their black 1934 Pontiaccar. Sunday morning found Mr. and Mrs. Anderson atProvo, Utah, arising at five A. M., in order to get anearly start for Brice Canyon and Zion Park.At Springville, a few miles out of Provo, theystopped at a gas station to have the car inspected forthe day's run. While the air in the tires was beingchecked, a heavy set Utahan and his son drove up ina Plymouth. He was evidently a friend of the stationattendant and stopped to chat a moment. He askedKyle if he was having a good trip and all the otherquestions fellow tourists ask one another at gas stations. Kyle thought it was a little peculiar that thisstranger should pick up a chamois and begin wiping thewindshield, which had already been washed. Mrs. Anderson remembered, later, that the gentleman seemedmore curious about what was in the back seat than thespecks on the shatter-proof glass.At Nephi, again a few miles further on, the Andersons rounded the corner onto Main street to findthat extremely wide thoroughfare completely barricadedwith saw horses and heavily armed citizens and officers.The rest of the town made up the remaining members ofthe reception committee.Mrs. Anderson was driving and, seeing the streetblocked, decided there must be a parade, or something,in progress and started to make a turn in the street toavoid the congestion."Oh no you don't'5 was the response as the squadclosed in on them and a motorcycle officer arrived fromthe rear. It began to look interesting for the Andersons !Had Mrs. Anderson passed through a village atsixty miles an hour or was it the fruit fly inspectionthat was stopping their progress? No, it proved to beneither. Then— happy thought — it was the practicaljoke of some Chicago alumni who had suffered underMr. Anderson's disparaging remarks on the diamond inhis undergraduate days. It was a rather extreme methodof evening the score, Kyle thought. Maybe he wouldconsider it a good joke later, but it was an irritatingdelay at present.The Pontiac was escorted to the court house andthe parade that followed justified the wide main street.Courteously they were asked to alight and accompany theguard of honor into the domed building. (We mighthave said "the doomed couple entered the domed build-ing!")Kyle, as is his Chicago custom, stopped to lock thecar, but was instructed otherwise so left it in the handsof an official-looking gentleman. Without the courtesyof waiting until they were out of sight, this man began • By HOWARD W. MORT, Editor, Tower Topicsa thorough search of: the car (and Mrs. Anderson hadpacked those suitcases so neatly that morning ! )In the courtroom they responded to a number ofrequests and answered a multitude of questions. Theircurrency was examined and the numbers on the billslisted. They were asked where they secured the travelers' cheques and why the name of the bank was notlisted thereon. Andy was required to take off his shirtand was asked what happened to the battle ship tatooedon his left shoulder and how he managed to get hisbroken finger straightened out.In the meantime the car investigator arrived witha suspicious looking brief case which he requested Andyto open. (In fairness to all the officers it should be notedthat the entire investigation was carried on in a mostcourteous, gentlemanly fashion.) The brief case contained papers with suspicious hieroglyphics that mightpoint to trails, caves, and the spot where the treasure was buried ! It took a little time to convince theaudience that these were football formations the lossof which might mean sacrificing a conference championship in the Big Ten !But this can't go on. We have kept you in suspenselong enough, even as were Mr. and Mrs. Anderson.It developed that earlier in the summer the son of alumberman — Mr. Weyerhaeuser, of Tacoma — had disappeared and one of the kidnappers, reported to berather slight, accompanied by a woman, and riding ina black 1934 Pontiac was still at large.After this experience it is not surprising that Mr.and Mrs. Anderson later slept through a minor earthquake in San Francisco to the amazement of Californians.Fords, Fossils and ForeignersMr. Adolf C. Noe's hobby is the collecting of plantfossils. When he began his work in the departmentof Paleobotany in 1921 there were 480 specimens in hislaboratory. Today there are over 21,000 specimens inhis cases on the fourth floor of Rosenwald. Becausegathering specimens is a hobby, Mr. Noe has collectedthese fossils at an expense to the University of less thana thousand dollars.This summer, when Mr. Noe was invited to reada paper before the delegates to the Seventh Pan-American Scientific Conference at Mexico City, he determinedto kill two birds for a load of stones. At the close ofthe conference, September 17, in company with a German geologist, he took a bus that traveled in a southeasterly direction toward an isolated section where hecould secure specimens of fossils from the Jurassic Period (whatever that is).They left the bus at Tehuacan and finally succeededin renting a dilapidated Ford and driver (the sentenceconstruction is correct ; dilapidated modifies both nouns !).He soon found that the Ford specimen, itself, was worthy16THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINE 17of a thorough scientific investigationwhich would answer the question"How can such a mechanism of auto-locomotion retain a semblance of itsoriginal form and be capable of moving under its own power in anyagreed-upon direction?" The top wasabetted by a tarpaulin when it rained ;the windshield had dropped off withmost of the fenders; the battery wastied in with twine and the horn wassounded by the simple device oftouching an exposed wire to any tinsurface. The tires were so organizedthat no two were ever flat at the sametime, although a front wheel droppedoff and the spring plates fell out byway of variety to cacti punctures.If there were roads, the driveravoided them in favor of the lessrough, rocky open country (accuracyof statement sacrificed for emphasis) !And because there are no roads —merely treacherous trails — andbridges are unheard of, two extra helpers were carriedto push and pull as the need arose. Upon approachinga river, these men would alight and precede the carthrough the water, acting as human water gauges whichprevented the car from ever completely disappearing fromsight.At Huajuapam (pronounced Huajuapam) the Fordwas dispensed with in favor of the smoother knee-actionhorse and mule. Mexican politics decreed that, althoughonly two Indian guides were necessary, four must betaken. (Unemployment, you see, is not confined tothe United States.)They have never heard of Harvey restaurants inthe interior of Mexico and Mr. Statler seems not tohave ventured that far south with modern hotels. Lunchwas served on a convenient, albeit hot, rock if the partyhad been able to secure a slab or so of bread after breakfast. This was washed down with pulque (fermentedcactus juice) which had the double effect of a stimulantand thirst quencher. Mr. Noe was naive enough to remove the flies and other foreign articles from his portion, at the risk of being considered a sissy.If they were fortunate enough to arrive in a villageat meal time they usually found a store where theycould sit on boxes and eat chili off the counter. TheDr. Noe in his riding habit only eating utensil used by theseMexicans is the short stiletto, theconstant companion of every nativeman. By a little practice Mr. Noelearned the art of jabbing thesechunks of meat with his pocket knifeand depositing them in his mouthwithout more serious cuts than oneexpects from a safety razor. Thesoupy portion of the chili is salvagedthrough the use of the tortilla (pancake to us Americans) which is accomplished by a sopping-swipingprocess. And Mr. Noe has lived inChicago so lgng that he always addedchlorate pills to the water — we suppose to make it taste more like thewater to which he is accustomed !At night they were delighted ifthey had the luxury of the back roomof the store for sleeping. Early onthe trip Mr. Noe learned that thefloor was safer and just as comfortable as a native bed. It only tookone collapse of loose slats to impress him with the wisdom of retiring on the floor from the start. As for bedding — there is less of it in southern Mexico than in theaverage fraternity house during summer vacation. Therefore, no one undresses and it is not hard to understandthe advantages in never bathing where one needs asmuch protection as possible from the night air! Americans, however, apply lemon oil on all exposed parts ofthe body before retiring, to discourage the mosquitoes,etc. (How does one write "etc." in the plural?)It is the custom for travelers, accepting the hospitality of this country, to pay their respects to the chiefin each village. The ceremony includes presenting apackage of cigarettes to this important citizen. Theyoverlooked this little duty at one village in their anxietyto reach a distant point before nightfall. They were dulybrought back and reminded of this courtesy, discoveringwhat any American can learn from a traffic policemanin five minutes — that certain time-saving methods aremisnamed.However, the party finally arrived at its destination ;the coveted fossils were boxed, securely fastened to thepack mule, and the return trip started. They transferredtheir baggage and selves to the waiting Ford atThe Ford fords at a ford Meeting a "freight train" Wheel and battery drop off18 THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINEHuajuapam and were bumping merrily along towardTehuacan when . . .A series of shots rang out from a clump of brushat the side of the road. Bandits! There was just onething to do — stop. Three men approached leadinghorses. They admitted being outlaws. The Ford cartraveled faster than horses. One of their party was in ahurry to get to Tehuacan. Would the gentlemen permit him to ride with the party ? Of course he was welcome ! There wasn't any other answer — with six shooters hanging from the belts of these strangers. The scientific party returned to civilization with a back seat fullof rocks, baggage, a German geologist, and a Mexicanbandit. The two helpers rode on the running boards andMr. Noe sat with the driver.Mexico is one of Mr. Noe's favorite vacation haunts(see his article in the Magazine for December, 1934).He hastened to explain, as he told of his September experiences, that only in the very inaccessible regions doesone find conditions as we have lightly described themin the above story.Don't let these details of the interior disturb yourplans for a tour of this fascinating country. MexicoCity has fine hotels and restaurants and the transportation facilities in those parts you will visit are modernand convenient.Black Pepper and Canned TomatoesIn the elevator at Harper library is posted thissuggestion: "Walk one flight up; walk two flightsdown" which led a Maroon columnist to remark thatthis merely gets you into the basement. Mr. FrankHurburt O'Hara has come to a similar conclusion concerning the famous admonition: "Go west, young man,go west!" He traveled west from Chicago and spentpractically four months following that advice only to findit landed him in Boston, some one thousand miles farther east.Mr. O'Hara occupied a guest suite on the modernmerchant ship, Silver Teak — flagship of the Silver Line —a commercial shipping company that conducts a fortnightly freight service around the world. The shiphad all the conveniences and most of the luxuries of amodern home without the back door vegetable hawkers.Mr. O'Hara assures us he did more outdoor walkingon the nineteen day voyage from Los Angeles to Manilathan during an entire quarter at the University living, as he does, at the Quadrangle Club, just across the streetfrom his Mitchell Tower office. And when the ship arrived at Boston, September 27th, there was still freshCalifornia fruit in the electric ice box.Out of Los Angeles the ship carried gasoline, kerosene, crated automobiles, fresh fruit, and cigarettes forthe Orient, and a large quantity of ammonia phosphatebricks (commercial fertilizer) for the great Americanhemp plantations in the Philippines.After two days at Manila and a drop down to IloHo to unload the ammonia phosphate, they sailed northto Shanghai. A day and a half in port — mainly to unloadAmerican cigarettes and fruit — gave Mr. O'Hara anopportunity to take a number of city tours. In the afternoon it was via a rickshaw, the operator of which became over-zealous and ran a red light, thus getting himself duly lectured ("bawled out" is the more expressivewestern term) by an officer and ordered back across thestreet. (Fortunately Mr. O'Hara's education does notinclude the interpretation of Chinese exclamation pointsand accompanying phrases ! )In the evening Mr. O'Hara chartered an auto-taxi tosee the bright lights — which are brighter, he says thanRandolph street, Chicago. After he became accustomed to the chauffeur's annoying practice of driving onthe left hand side of the street — because that's the customin China — he enjoyed the evening in spite of a. rain thatwas falling. It is said that the night life of Shanghaiis very "bright," but the Professor was a trifle reticenton this point.At Hongkong the ship went into drydock for tendays and Mr. O'Hara took a number of side trips outof the city. One of these was by boat to Canton. Thefirst mate on this boat was quite impressed with thediscovery that his guest had escaped the Chicago bandits,although himself living in such constant exposure topirates that barbed wire nets stretched out from theside of the boat and guns were mounted on the decksto discourage attack.While in Hongkong Mr. O'Hara met Mr. Berna-dotte E. Schmitt, chairman of the Department of History, who was also circling the globe and was then leaving for a trip across Siberia, and Aidan O'Keeffe, analumnus of Chicago.Before leaving Hongkong, the Teak took on a consignment of tin — in large heavy bricks. This metal,more of which was taken on in the Straights settlements,is so valuable that it is loaded in about the sameTHE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINE 19manner as gold bullion, with armed guards stationed atvantage points along the dock„The first extremely rough sea was encountered onthe return trip to the Philippines after leaving Plong-kong. Mr. O'Hara awoke one night to find his worktable prostrate on the cabin floor, other pieces of furniture staging an impromptu Black Bottom around theroom, and his shaving cream and tooth brush clamoringto join the party from the medicine cabinet. He learnedthe following morning that a careless typhoon hadswitched its tail across the ship's course during the night.Mr. O'Hara reports that a southwest monsoon canalso kick up some high seas in the Indian Ocean. Muchlater, in the Atlantic, they again experienced rough seas,the echo of a storm in the English Channel that playedhavoc with so many ships in September.Returning to Manila and other ports in the Philippines and neighboring islands they began to gather cargofor their trip to America. This included rattan for themanufacture of Wicker chairs, gums, spices, rubber —both in liquid and solid forms, hemp, tea, and tapioca.At Telok Belong, on the island of Sumatra, 320 tonsof black pepper were taken aboard, which is a lot ofpepper in any language ! Perhaps the most unique cargowas loaded at Singapore where a collection of brilliantlycolored snakes were brought onto the ship consigned tothe Staten Island Zoo. At Colombo, off the southerncoast of India, a large load of baled goatskins fromBombay was awaiting their arrival. (Mr. O'Hara wasn'tsure just where they were going or why.)The Red and Mediterranean Seas were teeming withmilitary activity. Italian ships passed loaded with mules,troops and war materials. In the Suez Canal they weredelayed an hour and a half while six British destroyers,heavily manned to war strength, were given the right-of-way. At Naples the Roma, one of Italy's crack ships,was just leaving with a capacity load of troops. However, the Teak was allowed to pass peacefully on its way.After taking aboard a cargo of 1,200 tons of cannedtomatoes at Naples, they headed for the open Atlanticand American waters. The tomatoes were being shippedto Boston, New York, and Chicago where the Italiansprefer them to the American product because of thedistinctive Italian method of canning.At Boston Mr. O'Hara took leave of his summerhome and cordial friend Captain C> C. S. Cherry, Admiral of the Silver Line fleet. By the time he returnedto Chicago he again had formed the English habit ofusing verbs and complete sentences when speaking toporters or strangers and was remembering to pass approaching vehicles on the right.Potatoes in the Gas TankHow far will an automobile run on a peck of potatoes? We don't know the exact answer but George --^r-ftiaNK BEFOREpass/kgUNDERNohava had his Chevrolet on a potato diet all summerand claims it works as . well as gasoline although it ismore expensive. George and his sister spent the summer visiting their mother and other relatives in Czechoslovakia. Czechoslovakia raises more potatoes than canbe consumed at home. With the bottom out of the potato market the government began the manufacture ofpotato alcohol and passed laws compelling the inclusionof a certain per cent in every liter of gas sold. (Whichgives us an idea for the Wisconsin milk problem!)Gas is expensive in Nohava's homeland. It is soldfor twelve cents aliter, which bringsthe cost of gasolineand potato alcohol toabout fifty cents agallon. Most Europeans drive midgetcars to keep transportation expense ata minimum. Withthese small cars theywill travel as far ona liter of gasoline asGeorge can on a gallon.Imagine the consternation at a service station whenGeorge drove up with an empty Chevrolet gas tank andordered them to fill it up (14 gallons)! They weresorry but their service tank only held fifty liters when itwas full and they had already sold twelve liters that day.So he would take all they had and drive on, leaving themscratching their puzzled heads at the wealth of theseAmerican geography students from middle-western universities.It's fortunate the alcohol is poured in the gas andnot the driver. He needs a clear head or he'll forget onwhich side of the road he belongs. In some sections itis the left and then again the right. He must refer tohis road map. If he is traveling in the yellow section ofthe map he drives on the left — the blue sections designate right-hand passing. Bicycles always have the right-of-way. If the motorist is in a factory town at "quitting"time he might just as well try to drive through a bandof two thousand Montana sheep.Large trucks, burning distillate, transport freightover the black-top, narrow highways. Try to pass themwith a Chevrolet! When they hear the horn they moveover enough to let a small, narrow native car pass. Bycontinual honking they will grudgingly move to the edgegrumbling at the amount of room insisted upon. Imagine their surprise when a "huge" and "mighty" Chevrolet whizzes past !Nohava returned to the University this fall to complete his Master's degree in Geography.IN MY OPINION• By FREDON students entering a class of Charles Read Bas-kervill's for the first time the effect was a bewilderment that in some cases lasted for months, inothers, for a lifetime. The bewilderment arose, not onlyfrom the embarrassing riches with which Mr. Basker-vill's mind was stored, but, more especially from therapidity with which his mind moved from parallel toparallel, analogy to analogy, illustration to illustration.Starting from the line or character before him, his mindwould leap lightly back through the sixteenth century,through the Middle Ages and classical antiquity, intothe mists and mirages of folklore. The movement wasso deft and effortless, the progress so rapid but so imperceptible that the novice was likely to find himselfbrought up with a start at the court of King Solomonor in the garden of Eden. In such a situation, the problem of note-taking offered no easy solution : one's penmight with luck move with the rapidity of the speaker'smind, but the notes, however faithfully recorded, werelikely to seem, after the illumination of the occasion hadfaded, baffling and maze-like, since it was impossible tocapture on the page or in memory, the invisible connections between one slight silken fibre and the rest of theintellectual pattern. But, though the web of associationsand analogies might seem fragile and diaphanous, thepattern was there.With the passage of days or weeks, bewildermentand bafflement passed into affection and admiration. Theaffection grew out of one's intuitions as to the gentlenessand kindliness of the man before one; the admiration,for his extraordinary intellectual powers. Those powerswere so conspicuous and so distinguished that, year afteryear, graduate students became involved in indecisivedebates as to whether Mr. Manly or Mr. Baskervill hadthe better mind. Whichever side in the debate may havewon a transitory victory, Mr. Baskervill's mind was,among minds that I have known, sui generis. Whatstruck one, as, year by year, one watched it in action,was, not merely the richness with which it was stored,but the sensitiveness and delicacy with which it madediscriminations and noted relationships among facts andideas. His passion for both facts and ideas was immense; perhaps, of the two, his passion for ideas wasthe greater.What he seemed intent on in his lectures was there-creation of the atmosphere of the period with whichhe was chiefly concerned. And, for him, the re-creationof this atmosphere was a problem, not of defining, clarifying, or organizing the ideas and opinions of the age,but of actually creating the emotionally charged intellectual world in which Shakespeare and Spenser andMilton moved and thought and worked. The difficultiesin his way were tremendous, but two were preeminent :the remoteness of the epoch and the magnitude of thematerials. The remoteness became an obstacle becausehe realized that one sees the sixteenth century refracted,not only by the twentieth, but also by the historical and B. MILLETT, PhD !3 1 , Associate Professor of Englishscholarly views of it recorded in the centuries since theRenaissance. For these successive falsifications, Mr. Baskervill was constantly on the alert to make the properallowance. The multitudinous materials were to him achallenge and a stimulus. After he had devoted half hislifetime to the Elizabethan drama, he said to me, "Idon't think we know anything about it yet." His intellectual integrity did not permit his taking the easy anddishonest way of selecting the most accessible materialsfor the erection of the intellectual environment of theperiod. To him, it was both a duty and a delight toroam the byways of the Tudor world in search of somedelicate strand to be woven into the spider-web textureof the world he was re-creating. Thus it was that he wasmore likely to emphasize the obscure and semi-literatewriters and recorders of the period than to find his instances and evidence in the major figures. Thus it wasthat no student of his will ever forget the titles, at least,of The highway to the spital house, Armin's nest of ninnies, and the Fraternity of vagabonds, a figure of grossvitality like Ursula, the pig woman, or the recurrentrefrain of "My juggie, my puggie."As one passed from course to course, from seminarto seminar, under Mr. Baskervill's unobtrusive tutelage,certain large conceptions began to tower above the infinite accumulation of details. Perhaps the first of theseof which I became conscious was the slow and irresistible demonstration that the Renaissance is unintelligibleexcept in terms of the centuries that preceded it, thatit is folly or stupidity to isolate the Renaissance, or toattempt to indicate its beginnings with any definiteness.Thus, in his course in the beginnings of the Reformationand the Renaissance, one gradually become aware, notmerely of the complex multiplicity of these movements,but of the subtle, incessant interplay between the ideasand attitudes of classical antiquity and the Middle Agesand that passage of the generations which a variety ofintellectual shorthand designates the Renaissance. Another major idea of his presentation of literary historywas that of the role of convention in literature, and histreatment of convention was ample enough to embraceideas, attitudes, themes, situations, characters, and lyricaland dramatic forms. In this connection, perhaps hismost illuminating demonstration was his resolution ofthe character of Falstaff into its constituent conventionaland typical ingredients. No one who ever heard Mr.Baskervill define the conventional elements in the characterization of Falstaff can ever see that transcendantcreation in the same simple light again. But Mr. Baskervill's aesthetic responses were so sure, so constantthat he could not allow himself to leave Falstaff in fragments of typicality. Having resolved him into his elements, he communicated to his students a vivid sense ofthe miracle Shakespeare's creative power had wroughtout of the conventions easily at hand. But, perhaps hismost abiding lesson was that the Renaissance was a complex process to which superstitions and folk customs,20THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINE 21religious rituals and abstruse philosophies, egoisticrationalizations and literary conventions, made theirbizarre contributions.In a sense, Mr. Baskervill was a teacher who nevertaught, or, rather, a teacher who taught by what islightly thought to be the most effective of methods, example. And this teaching by example made the way ofhis disciples at once easy and difficult. The ease arosefrom the fact that Mr. Baskervill never felt it necessaryto exert pressure on his students to "finish" or to "produce." He set himself so high a standard that, if hebelieved that one was working, he was quite willing thatone should peg away at his problem for years. He washimself all too conscious of the infinitude of difficultiesthat come to light when even a single scholastic stoneis turned. The difficulty in being a disciple came fromone's growing conviction that he must not disappointthe master to the extent of even a single dislocatedcomma or an errant capital.Mr. Baskervill's devotion to the study of literaryhistory was supplemented by his enthusiasm for rarebooks and fine printing. Out of his interest in rarebooks grew his years of devoted service to the UniversityLibraries. This interest involved him happily in thereading of thousands of booksellers' catalogues, and itresulted in a characteristically detailed and precise knowledge of rare-book values in every field related to Englishliterature. Probably no member of the Department hasever been more exactly aware of our library resourcesand deficiencies, and no one has ever driven a bargainwith a bookseller or snapped up a rare but unappreciateditem with more gusto.Books(Continued from Page 7)Let us not always say,"Spite of this flesh todayI strove, made head, gained ground upon thewhole!"As the bird wings and sings,Let us cry, "All good thingsAre ours, nor soul helps flesh more, now, thanflesh helps soul !"In spite of "movies" and "jazz," of racing and prizefights, books remain for most of us the safest and cheapest and surest means of sublimating our more primitivedesires and thus keeping our personalities as whole asthe world allows.IVI cannot close, however, without remarking againupon the wistful fact that such lovely things as booksshould be doomed to be instruments of the devil. Itwas our novelist Cabel who wrote the obituary maxim ofeach and all our books: "a human dream badly damaged at the birth." Yes, it is so. We know it as authorseven if we sometimes forget it as readers. The light thatnever was will not shine, save tantalizingly, through ourclouds. But perfection lost, not all is lost. We pursuethe fine "feel" of the unorganized, the inchoate, the growing — we puruse it through the dying clasp of organization and the chilling finality of finished form. The scrupulosity of his scholarship combined withhis delight in fine printing to create in him an infiniteconcern for the typography and format of his printedworks. He found delight in a tireless consideration ofthe most effective and comely devices for the presentation of his difficult texts. The problems of the multifarious type-fonts of his "jig book," of the process ofreproducing the manuscript illuminations of the "pageantbook" stimulated and fascinated him. And the formatof his books, he insisted, must set off the lucidity andelegance of their typography. It is no wonder that heregarded the exquisitely reproduced illuminations andthe rough-textured, beautifully-lettered midnight-bluecover of the "pageant book" with a craftsman's affectionate pride.Devotion to scholarship, and not eagerness forreputation or fame was the ruling passion of CharlesRead Baskervill's life. That devotion was manifest inhis complete intellectual integrity, his meticulous precision, and his untiring patience. Devotion of this sort,time- and energy-consuming, explains at once the relatively small number of his scholarly productions and theirincomparably high quality. Thus the products of yearsof patient accumulation and thought, of dishearteningpersistence in documentation, of editing and re-editingturned out to be, not ephemeral "contributions to scholarship" to be set at naught by the next scholarly rival, butdefinitive treatments of the major subjects to which somany years of his life had been given. On his disciples,devolved the obligation of devoting their own modestpowers to exemplifying in their work the qualities hemagnificently embodied.When in the tired succession of days spent withbooks, books, and more books, we teachers feel likecrying out loud that we cannot longer live with them*we do well to calm ourselves with the soberer afterthought that we cannot live at all like humans withoutthem. They give us information, they furnish us inspiration, they offer us sublimation.I strongly tempt myself — or is it the devil, or justthe heat? — to go begin the writing of another book.Educational Entertainment( Continued from Page 15)Building Blocks of Our Economic Society, a serieaof talks by Dean H.

Everything proceededplacidly until the middle of April last spring — andthen look what happened. So this year I am making nopromises. . . ."This witticism was chiefly significant because it struckthe note of these opening days at the University andbecause President Robert M. Hutchins said it. Theoccasion was the annual Faculty Homecoming Banquetwhere 18 new members of the faculty were introducedand addresses delivered by three newly appointed administrators : William H. Taliaferro, Dean of the Division of Biological Sciences ; Arthur C. Bachmeyer, Director of University Clinics; Richard P. McKeon, Deanof the Division of Humanities.Whether President Hutchins sets the tone for theUniversity or merely discovers and becomes the firstto express it is not important. Hjs intimation that theUniversity is ready and waiting for almost anythingthis year from certain quarters of press and populace isfound quite correct by this correspondent. Just as carrying an umbrella is the best assurance that it won't rain,the University's attitude of readiness almost guaranteesthat nothing exciting will, in fact, happen. This will bea great disappointment to a large number of freshmenwho are venting a healthy scorn of those who want totell them what is safe for them to learn and to upper-classmen who like to observe the fascist mind in action.EXTRA-CURRICULARThe Daily Maroon greeted the campus this year witha new face, a world-wide news service, and a hardy resolve to be different. Lighter headlines, a more flexiblemake-up, and abolition of the editorial page constitutethe Maroon's new face. News of the Italian-Ethiopianwar, taken from United Press dispatches up to midnight,regularly fills several columns. The hardy resolve consists in a determination, which never before has been sogenuine, to make the Maroon a newspaper carrying complete, accurate, impartial information about the campusand, indeed, the world. Graduate veterans of the Maroonfeel that the campus paper this year is doing the best jobof news-gathering in its history. They hope that in itsenergetic scramble for news and insistence upon goodnews-writing the Maroon will not neglect its power asa journal of opinion.Another innovator for the year 1935-36 is the Dramatic Association. The sources of the plays scheduledfor the year are international in scope, and unusuallydifficult in production. Among them are The Inspector-General by Gogol and Sir Henry Irving's production ofFaust which will be the annual spring revival. At thiswriting, upperclassmen in Dramatic Association arebusily engaged in producing Young Woodley by JohnVan Druten under the direction of Professor Frank Hur- burt O'Hara. Curtain raiser is October 31 in the Reynolds Club theater and the play will be repeated November 1 and 2. Three one-act freshman plays, given inNovember and directed by undergraduates, are expectedto reveal some talent among the one hundred freshmenwho aspire to belong to Dramatic Association. Then,early in December will come The Inspector-Generalwhich will be the big production of the fall quarter. Theannual Mirror revue will, as usual, be the big featureof the winter quarter, and Faust as the annual springrevival ought to be the smashing climax of DramaticAssociation's year.Paths of GloryIn the departure of Chauncey S. Boucher, Dean oithe College, who resigned to become president of WestVirginia University, the Dramatic Association as well asall other student activities lost a faithful supporter. Besides his work as a professor of History and as chiefadministrator of the New Plan in the College since it wasput in operation, Dean Boucher unfailingly found time tofollow and support undergraduate activities and athletics.As an administrator, he was largely responsible for theimmediate and continued success of the New Plan in theCollege as the outstanding evidence of educational progress in the country. It was to be expected that someother university would call him as its president, and,though his resignation is a great loss, the University isproud that she has been able to contribute one moregood college president to education.President Boucher whose departure from theQuadrangles is mourned by students, facultyand alumni22THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINE 23Priie-winner Gosnell who is not only a facultymember but an alumnusResearch at the UniversityHarold F. Gosnell, associate professor of PoliticalScience, published a book entitled Negro Politicians. Itjs the first detailed account of the political struggles ofa minority groupin an Americanraetr opolitanc ommunity.After five yearsof research analyzing personalities, history,aims, and resultsof political organization in the"Black Belt,"Mr. Gosnell concludes that political organizationhas resulted inno spectaculargains for therace, but theconcrete gainshave been aboutas great asamong other minority groups, and the status of theNegroes might have been worse, had they not been organized. The book is a fascinating story of skullduggery,conflict, and "human interest" episodes which shouldappeal to the layman, as well as a very valid, originalpolitical study intended for political scientists. This volume has just won for its author the John Anisfield Awardof $1000 for the best book of the year on race relations.Considerable attention in the general press was devoted to the discovery of a new comet by ProfessorGeorge Van Biesbroeck of the University's Yerkes Observatory at Williams Bay on Lake Geneva, Wisconsin.The new comet is located in the southern sky in theSaggitarius constellation and is visible only through apowerful telescope. It was promptly named Comet VanBiesbroeck and even more promptly two discoveries weremade about Comet Van Biesbroeck : ( 1 ) It is approaching the sun and will continue to do so until December 9when it will begin to swing away, and (2) its chiefpeculiarity is that its tail is not away from the sun, asis normal, but swings at a ninety degree angle from aline drawn between the sun and the comet.Those who like to hear about the development ofgenius under the new plan will be interested in the storyof Mrs. Martha Friedman Marenof who graduated fromthe University last August after only four quarters ofwork on the campus. Mrs. Marenof passed five of theseven comprehensive examinations in the College upon herarrival on campus, June, 1934. She entered the University a year ago this October and took eleven formalcourses, enabling her to pass the other two examinationsin the College and a bachelor's examination in the fieldof Ancient Oriental Cultures. This performance hangsup a new record over leisurely Lewis Dexter, who tookas long as six quarters to do the normal four years ofwork. Mrs. Marenof is thirty-five years old, a graduateof a Paterson, New Jersey, high school in 1918, and for mer secretary to the Chancellor of the University ofJerusalem.Dr. Thorne Deuel, research associate in anthropology, has made news three times in the last month. Heheaded a party during the summer who explored thearchaeologically important Kincaid mounds near Metropolis, Illinois, where a house, partially consumed byfire hundreds of years ago, revealed important archaeological data concerning the structure and materialsof the ancient Indian homes. Deuel then returned tothe University with these findings and prepared to leaveagain, this time for Texas on a one man photographicalexpedition which, as part of a collection of similar material throughout the Mississippi valley, is expected toenable students to study the remains of ancient Indiancultures without actually visiting the country. As a partof these preparations, Dr. Deuel entered the UniversityState Bank early on the bright Monday morning ofSeptember 31 to draw out some money. As he stoodnear a teller's window, two amateur bandits, fortified byfive others who were waiting outside in two automobiles,entered the bank and snarled, "This is a stick-up." Ayoung woman behind the counter promptly stepped onthe tear-gas pedal; the bandits became panicky. Deuelleaped behind a pillar. Unfortunately, as he says inhis own words, he forgot to pull in his ankle. In theshooting that followed Deuel caught a ricochetted bulletin his ankle, and three other persons were wounded inthe affray, two of them badly. This blood and thundermade it news again when Dr. Deuel, a week later, departed for Texas none the worse for the incident exceptthat careful Billings hospital had deprived him of oneweek's time. He does not return to the University untilnext June.The University Press published a series of pamphletscalled American Primers on October 8. The AmericanPrimers seek American solutions for peculiarly American problems which confront the nation at this time.They are no relation to M. Ilin's New Russian Primer.As it is used in Russia to teach communism, these Ameri-man Primers will be used in adult educational movementsin this country to teach Americanism. The project wasinitiated by the Federal Office of Education and theAmerican Council of Education under a grant from theGeneral Education Board. No Federal funds are involved.Each of the nine "primers" presents a crucial problem in the United States today and impartially reviewsthe various solutions that are being offered to solve theproblem. Each is written in simple, direct, colloquialstyle which presents the facts as a basis for intelligentdiscussion and information. Dr. Percy W. Bidwell, professor of Economics at the University of Buffalo, is editor of the series.LecturesIt seems that if the University is a "hot-bed" ofradicalism, it is not without striking tinges of the Republican party in view of the fact that five public lectures on "Our Constitution" are being given this autumnby Professor Andrew C. McLaughlin, one of the mosteminent scholars of the Constitution in the country. Thelectures are given at Fullerton hall, Art Institute,Wednesday evenings at 6:45 p. m. from October 9-through November 6. Dr. McLaughlin, who was for24 THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINEmany years chairman of the department of history at theMidway, early this summer published his latest volume,"A Constitutional History of the United States/' Thefive lectures were titled as follows: Oct. 9 — "The Constitutional Significance of the American Revolution'' ;Oct. 1(5 — "The Origin and Nature of the American Constitutional System"; Oct. 23 — "The Courts and TheirDuties Under the Constitution" ; Oct. 30 — "The Adaptation of Law to Changing Social Condition"; Nov. 6 —"The Development of the Presidency."T. V. Smith, professor of Philosophy and StateSenator from the Fifth District, is delivering anotherseries of five lectures on "The Ethics of the MajorPolitical Isms" beginning October 11. He will considerthe ethical foundations of individualism, liberalism, fascism, communism, and Americanism. This will be followed by another Friday series of five lectures, "Current Problems in Relationship Between Government andBusiness" by five members of the faculty of the Schoolof Business.An unusual series of five lectures entitled "AfricanMusic: A Pursuit of Rhythm," which is planned toappeal both to musicians and to students of preliteratepeoples, featuring actual melodies and tribal life in motion pictures, will be given by Mrs. Laura C. Boulton,lecturer in Anthropology, on Wednesdays, November 20to December 18.Harold Stark, lecturer in art, will give the longestseries, ten lectures. His subject will be "Art and Lifein America" ; lectures will begin on October 8, occurringeach Tuesday thereafter until December 10.William Vaughan MoodyEveryone acquainted with the University and itstraditions will be interested to hear (if, indeed, they didnot attend) that many of the students and faculty ofthe University met in Mandel hall Thursday, October 17,to commemorate the twenty-fifth anniversary of the deathof William Vaughn Moody, poet, dramatist, painter,member of the faculty of the University from 1895 to1903.Ferdinand Schevill, intimate friend of Moody andnoted historical scholar, spoke on "William VaughnMoody: The Man," John M. Manly, writer of the introduction to Moody's "Collected Poems and Plays" andprominent authority on Chaucer, spoke on "WilliamVaughn Moody: The Scholar." Howard MumfordJones, Professor of English at the University of Michigan and graduate of the University of Chicago, spoke on"William Vaughn Moody : The Poet." Percy H. Boyn-ton, professor of English, presided.William Vaughn Moody was a brilliant student andcreative artist. He graduated from Harvard at an earlyage and spent most of his short life (he was only 41years old when he died) in long and extended travel,usually preferring the Mediterranean lands and California. Despite traveling abroad, his poetry was distinctlyAmerican in background and subject. During his eightyears of teaching at the University of Chicago he wasan inspiration to students and fellow-faculty members tosuch an extent that the intellectual and aesthetic impulsewhich he gave in those brief years has not left them. Critics and scholars believe that his poetic work has hadconsiderable influence in the development of contemporary American literature. As a playwright, Moodywrote two plays, among others, which were phenomenalsuccesses in the theater as well as contributions to greatdramatic literature: "The Great Divide" and "FaithHealer."Two permanent institutions at the University aremonuments to Moody's life and work: "The WilliamVaughn Moody Lecture Foundation," which regularlybrings to the campus some person who has made anintellectual, artistic, or literary contribution of significance, and The William Vaughn Moody Library ofAmerican Literature.Science in PanamaTurning to recent research in the natural sciences,the most fascinating to the layman are the investigationsand experiences of Dr. Alfred E. Emerson with tropicaltermites.Debunking the dangers from either heat or beastsin the thickest of tropical jungles, Dr. Emerson, professor of Zoology at the University returned early inOctober from a six months' research project in thePanama Canal Zone, where he has studied the amazingsocial organization and cooperative existence of some 60species of termite insects."My family and I found the tropics very healthfulover the summer," said Dr. Emerson, "The highest temperature we experienced was 89 degrees. Incidentally,we failed to find the dangers which one traditionally issupposed to encounter in the tropics. These dangers, Ithink, are the result of Hollywood fancy. It can beshown statistically that the wildest of the tropics arefar safer than driving a car in the city of Chicago."Another popular superstition which Dr. Emersonis anxious to abolish is the sensational theory spread by"certain interested chemical companies" that the tropicaltermite insects are invading the temperate climates wherethey will eat away all wooden structures in heavily populated lands."On the basis of our temperature alone," Dr. Emersonsaid, "it can be shown that northern United States willnever suffer such an invasion. Furthermore, fossilsthirty million years old show species closely related tothose now living in northern United States and existingin Colorado at that time. If it had been possible fortropical termites to invade, they would have done solong ago. Any reports that they can or will acclimatethemselves to our conditions are entirely erroneous."A colony of termites has a king and queen withtwo or three million progeny consisting of workers andsoldiers. The workers build the nests and procure thefood while the soldiers defend the colony against theirtraditional enemies, the ants."We observed four general kinds of soldiers amongthe many species of termites," Dr. Emerson said. "Thedifference lies in the function of the large heads of thesoldiers. One maims or kills the enemy by biting witha large pair of jaws. Another is equipped with snappersthat can kill an ant at one stroke. The most deadlyfiehter, however, exudes a sticky substance which disables and often kills the attackers. A fourth kind, whichTHE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINE 25has not been fully investigated, gives out a kind of poisongas that is deadly for other insects."Zoologists have not yet been able to explain theorigin of the king and queen, but they now know whyonly one of each exists in a single colony. "When aking is removed from a colony a 'substitute king' developsfrom one of the 'nymphs' which are the younger progenynot yet grown into soldiers or workers," said Dr. Emerson, "but only one king develops because he then proceeds to secrete a substance that inhibits the growth ofany other potential kings. The same phenomena areobserved in the queens. Some exceptions to this ruleexist, but they would take many paragraphs to explain....""Unlike man," said Dr. Emerson, "termites neverattack each other under natural conditions or interferein any way with the functions of other members of thespecies. They conduct a perfectly cooperative society,performing the functions of food-getting, nest-building,breeding, and defense without intramural conflict, butoften with a lack of efBciency which indicates to us thattheir cooperative action is not intelligent, but instinctive."Like man, however, the termites domesticate animals — that is to say, other insects such as beetles andflies, called "termitophiles.""When we transplanted these termitophiles," saidDr. Emerson, "to a colony of another species, they wereimmediately killed, although they resembled very closelythe domesticated insects of the foreign species."In a series of experiments conducted to observe thefighting capacities of the termite soldiers, Dr. Emersonrelated, "I found one termite soldier that was able torepel successfully 72 ants. The evidence of more than athousand experiments shows that the termite soldierscan always defend their colony if not too hopelessly outnumbered by the ants. The workers, unprotected, areeasily overwhelmed. However, if the ants set out tocapture a colony, they can always succeed in the endwith tremendous sacrifice of their own fighters."The results of Dr. Emerson's six months of researchare expected to contribute to the field of ecology in thebiological sciences. Dr. Emerson has added 20 speciesof termites to the list of 40 that were known fromPanama. In addition, a countless number of experimentswere conducted which will contribute to scientific knowledge about the regimented, cooperative society of insects.NotesProfessor Edgar J.

HOWE, '27Scores of the MonthFootballChicago, 7 : Nebraska, 28Chicago, 31 ; Carroll, 0Chicago, 31 ; Western State Teachers, 6Chicago, 0; Purdue, 19Before the mailman has delivered this issue of theMagazine to your door the character of the 1935 Maroonfootball team will have been established. Despite thefact that the season is technically half-completed yourcorrespondent is still mildly puzzled about the properadjectives. The above-listed scores, plus an almost-daily glance across the practice field, help but little.The Maroons have been beaten decisively by twosturdy opponents and have pushed over two "practice"opponents even more decisively. As this is written theyhave yet to face Wisconsin, Ohio State, Indiana andIllinois. The decisiveness of victory or defeat seems tobe characteristic of the Maroons under Coach Shaugh-nessy. During his tenure Chicago has won nine, lostnine and tied two. With one exception the nine vie-tories have been by margins of three or more touchdowns, and the exception was a two-touchdown win overMissouri last year. Five of these victories, of course,were registered against practice opposition, but threeof the victims were Dartmouth, Michigan and Indiana. 'Of the nine defeats (all by major opponents) five havebeen by margins of three or more touchdowns. Wejust mention this for what it may be worth ; we do notknow how to interpret it.Aside from the very well known shortage of material, for the well known and very real reasons, the current squad is not one to complain about, and has seemedto have more promise than the run of Chicago squadsfor the last decade. Nine lettermen of 1934 were lostby graduation; another, Rainwater Wells, who wasgroomed in spring practice as the first-string quarterback, was lost by marriage, and another, Ralph Balfanz,was lost by ineligibility. Eleven 1934 lettermen returned— practically a complete team. Last year's freshmanmaterial having been distinctly mediocre, the currentsquad has been one of the smallest, with forty-five nameson the roster. Nevertheless, the first team, and abouthalf a dozen reserve men, looked like a good lot ; andthere was Jay Berwanger.On the first day of practice Coach Shaughnessypicked a first team, composed entirely of veterans, withnine lettermen and two reserves of last year comprising the varsity eleven. He has kept this group fairlyintact as the starting lineup. The Maroon team whichstarted in the difficult opening game against Nebraska,at Nebraska, was as follows : Bob Perretz and Bill Gil-lerlain, ends ; Merritt Bush and Clarence Wright, tackles; Harmon Meigs and Prescott Jordan, guards; SamWhiteside, center; Ewald Nyquist, quarterback; Jay Berwanger and Ned Bartlett, halfbacks; and WarrenSkoning, fullback. This is a fairly experienced group,although some of the men were switched from their positions of last year, for example Whiteside from guard tocenter and Nyquist from fullback to blocking quarterback. It has a sufficiency of weight, with four men inthe line scaling 200 pounds or better and a backfieldaveraging 182 pounds. It has fair speed. There is amarked shortage of competent understudies to relievethe first string men. These two latter factors apparently made the difference in Chicago's two defeats, forboth Nebraska and Purdue outspeeded and outmannedthe Maroons.The opening game at Lincoln (the first opener theMaroons have played away from home in many a year)was contested under a hot sun before a crowd of 30,000.The result was pretty disappointing to the team as wellas to Maroon partisans; to the team because they camehome feeling that Nebraska was not three touchdownstheir superior. Coach Shaughnessy describes the Nebraska backfield as the fastest he has ever seen; theCornhusker line he does not regard so highly. Each teammade eleven first downs ; Nebraska made net gains of254 yards to Chicago's 239. Lloyd Cardwell, ace of theNebraska backfield, a 190-pound sprinter, scored in thefirst quarter on a 7-yard plunge after he had brokenloose for dashes of 13 and 31 yards. The Maroonsscored early in the second quarter when Wright recovered a Nebraska fumble on the 'Husker 23 yard line,Skoning plunged for four yards and Berwanger pivotedand straight-armed his way 19 yards to the goal. Onthe next play Nebraska's quarterback, Bauer, took Ber-wanger's kick-off on his 10-yard line, advanced 10 yards,and lateralled to Cardwell, who through an error by aChicago end, was not covered. Cardwell raced 80 yardsfor a touchdown. Berwanger and Bartlett, no meansprinters themselves, could not overhaul the flying Ne-braskan. This took some of the starch out of the Maroons, but they came back to link four first downs together, only to lose the ball on downs. Nebraska rippedthe tiring Maroon forwards for another touchdown inthe third period, Cardwell scoring for the third time.This score climaxed a 66-yard march. The final Nebraska touchdown, in the fourth period, followed the interception of a Maroon pass in Chicago territory.- Maroon victories over Carroll College and WesternState Teachers were comparative romps. Thirty-fiveMaroons were used in the former match and thirty-nine,every able-bodied man on the bench, were used in thelatter. Against the light and inexperienced Carroll team,which is coached by Elmer Lampe, former Maroon end,Chicago was not particularly impressive, despite the five-touchdown score and the liberal use of reserves. It tookjust twelve plays for the Maroon varsity to grind over atouchdown at the start of the Carroll game, Skoning go-26THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINE 27ing over from the 3-yard line to climax a 59-yard march.A blocked Carroll punt, recovered in the end zone byBill Gillerlain, gave the Maroon their next score. Carroll carried the ball against Maroon reserves to the 5-yardline in the second quarter but couldn't score in fourplunges. Shortly thereafter Bob Fitzgerald, sophomorehalfback for Chicago, intercepted a Carroll pass and ran40 yards for a touchdown. The fourth Chicago touchdown followed a long return of the second-half kickoffby Berwanger, a pass on which interference was ruled,and a long pass, Berwanger to Gillerlain. The lastlink in this chain was a play on which Chicago has gainedconsistently for three years. Berwanger broke far tothe left, as though for an end sweep, whirled and threwdiagonally to the right to Gillerlain, who was standingalone. The final Chicago score was made by reserves.Whitney, halfback, made a good punt return, and FredLehnhardt and Omar Fareed, two able sophomore backsadvanced the ball on a series of runs to the Carroll goalline, where Whitney passed to Fareed for the score.Despite all this fanfare the Maroon team was not impressive, particularly in the matter of tackling.Against Western State, a bigger team that cameto the Midway with a record of nine straight victories,Chicago looked considerably better. Chicago scoredearly on a short plunge by Skoning after the WesternState safety man had attempted to kick back a Chicagopunt, only to have Meigs, Maroon guard, block the effort. Berwanger scored Chicago's next touchdown aftera 57-yard march which was featured by a long pass,Berwanger to Fitzgerald. Shortly thereafter the Western State safety man fumbled a punt, Chicago recovering.Berwanger lined a pass to big Merritt Bush, tackle whowas at end for the play, for another touchdown. Thefourth Maroon score followed the interception of aWestern State pass by Sam Whiteside, Maroon center,and was credited to Fitzgerald, who made a beautiful running catch of Berwanger's pass into the far corner ofthe end zone. Chicago's final score was made by AndyHoyt, sophomore tackle, who blocked a Western State punt in the end zone and fell on the ball. In the finalminutes, against a third-string Chicago team, WesternState hammered its way to the Maroon two-yard lineand scored on a pass.All of this led Maroon followers to hope for a Chicago victory over Purdue in the Big Ten opener thefollowing Saturday. The Maroons have not beaten Purdue since 1927. The fact that Purdue had lost its"Touchdown Twins," Purvis and Carter, who led theBoilermakers to a thrilling 26 to 20 win over the Maroons last year, was part of the hope. But Purdue cameup to Chicago with a couple of sophomore backs, CecilIsbell and Tom McGannon, who are fully the equals ofPurvis and Carter. There was no doubt about Purdue'ssuperiority. The Boilermakers made 20 first downs toChicago's 7 and gained 334 yards to Chicago's 169. Superior speed and superior reserves account for Purdue's19 to 0 victory. Position for position, every Purdueplayer was faster than his Maroon opponent, includingIsbell over Berwanger, at left half, according to Shaughnessy. Purdue's second team was just about as potent asits first. The hard-charging Purdue line had Chicago'srunning attack bottled up. Berwanger resorted to forward passes, of which he threw 24, which must be somesort of record at the Midway, eight of them being complete for 97 yards gain. Purdue scored on marches of59, 81 and 61 yards, chiefly on running plays. Chicago's best chance to score failed when Gordon Petersen, end, took a long pass from Berwanger and justmissed eluding the Purdue safety man. Chiefly consoling in this game was the fact that the Maroons seemedto be up against one of the strongest teams in thecountry.Jay Berwanger is still our favorite football player.This year he is probably the hardest-worked offensiveback in the country. As in the past two seasons he bearsthe chief burden of ball-carrying, punting and passingand in addition he is now calling signals from the lefthalfback post. He has been switched to the safety position on defense, where he is relieved of some of the heavy-Chicago's starting backfield.Left to right: Ewald Nyquist,185 pound senior from Rock-ford, III., fullback for the lasttwo years and now blockingquarterback; Ned Bartlett, 182pound junior from Glendale,Cal., right halfback whosespeed makes him a dangerousball carrier; Warren Skoning,186 pound junior from Elgin,III., fullback; and Capt. JayBerwanger, 195 pound seniorfrom Dubuque, Iowa, All-Amer-ican left halfback and now thesignal caller as well as theprincipal plunger, punter andpasser of the team. \28 THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINEduty tackling he had to do last year when he backedup the left corner, and where he is a constant threat as apunt-runner. Warren Skoning, junior fullback, has developed into something of a plunger, and Ewald Nyquist, ablocking back, continues to be a fine defensive player.Right half has presented a problem. With the defense concentrating on Berwanger there is opportunity for anotherball-carrier to cross up opponent's plans. Shaughnessyhas tried Bartlett, Schuessler, Whitney, Fitzgerald, Lehn- hardt and Fareed at the post, and is not completely satisfied with any of them. The latter trio are promisingsophomores who will be very useful next year. Of thelinemen Sam Whiteside, at center, and Prescott Jordan,at left guard, both of them juniors, are standouts.An encouraging note is that the current freshmangroup seems to be the strongest in three years, withtwo good backfields and one good line emerging from agroup of about fifty candidates.Roster of the University of Chicago Football Squad, 1935Name Pos.

Applet on-Century Company, NewYork. $3.50.INTO one generous volume JamesWeber Linn has compressed thelife of one of the greatest women ofour time. Despite the fact thatTwenty Years at Hull House, writtenwhen Miss Addams was fifty, is aclassic of American autobiography,this definite, authorized biographyembellishes all that Miss Addamsever wrote about herself, her philosophy, or her expanding universe.Being her nephew, Professor Linnmight have written an intimate familymemoir. Instead, eschewing the firstperson, he writes objectively, although it is obvious throughout thathis fascinating, important and readable book was derived from personalsources in addition to the letters,clippings, notes, programs and memosthat had accumulated from the daythat Jane Addams received her firstValentine and saved it.Had Jane Addams lived to readproof on this book (she did read themanuscript and annotate the firstthird of it) she would have liked itsimpersonal, capable, comprehensiveand accurate authority although shecertainly would have seen that thehyphen was inserted in Hull-House,a foible like the double-D that someancestor stuck into the Addams name.She inherited some of the mellowwilfulness of her father, a prosperousmiller, banker and legislator of Ce-darville, 111., where she was born theyear that Lincoln was elected President. Studious, thoughtful JohnAddams influenced Jane Addamsmore than all the philosophers sheever read or listened to. Althoughshe wanted to enter Smith College, hesent her to Rockford, that little femaleseminary where she had the good fortune to meet Julia Lathrop, EllenGates Starr and many of the womenwho later were associated with her atHull-House. Never has the worldseen the likes of the serious young ladies who came out of Rockford at atime when so much of the world'swork remained undiscovered, letalone undone.Although brilliant, Jane Addams?Reviewed by Victor Weybright. Courtesy ofNew York Herald Tribune. matured slowly; she was twenty-ninewhen, on a grand tour of Europe withEllen Gates Starr, her design for asettlement-house was crystallized.Abandoning her grand tour aftercomplacently viewing a gory bullfightin Spain, she visited Toynbee Hall inthe East End of London, whereyoung university men were sharingtheir experience with the underprivileged of the slums. Back in Chicagoshe discovered the old Hull mansionin sordid Halsted Street, moved in,remodeled it ; there she extended herrole of good neighbor till men andwomen who had never been near Chicago felt the impact of her neighbor-liness. It was not Victorian sentimentality, this new kind of friendship,but a practical and scientifically considered experiment. Soon Jane Addams and Ellen Gates Starr werejoined by Julia Lathrop and Dr. Alice Hamilton, as residents, and bythose loyal young philanthropists,Mrs. Joseph T. Bowen and MaryRozet Smith, of Chicago.Holding all their activities lightlyin their hands, so that more specialized agencies might carry on whatthey initiated, Jane Addams and thegrowing number of residents at Hull-House maintained the house as a cultural center, letting government orcharitable societies take over the welfare actvities they were better qualified to* perform. There in HalstedStreet the first juvenile court wasborn, and there such commonplacesof today as factory legislation, publicplaygrounds, public baths, day nurseries for children of working mothers, little theaters and adult English classes were originated. There,too, standards were set for socialwork and the need shown for the introduction of the new science of sociology in the universities.Professor Linn gives the panoramaof social thought and personalities atHull-House, with many flashes orcharacter and color ; then, despite thefact that he is himself a student ofmilitary campaigns and an advocateof a larger National Guard, he presents Jane Addams' war record withsympathy and understanding. Thissection of the book, wherein her integrity and consistency, and herdownright efforts to cooperate withpeace movements right through thewar are described, contains a lessonfor every American. She gave her half of the Nobel Prize which sheshared with Nicholas Murray Butlerto the Women's International Leaguefor Peace and Freedom, and not oncementioned, as she might have, Dr.Butler's retreat from pacifism in 1917.Tolstoy, Lincoln, even Gandhi,come to mind as Professor Linn attempts to put his hand upon the secret of Jane Addams' simple, yet complex, genius. Frankly he says, "Shewas rooted in principle, yet deft inadaptation ; ready, and in small thingseven impatient, to direct, yet eager toserve ; open in attack yet subtle in analysis." . . Her claim to greatness,he believes, "must lie not in what shedid but what she was." Yet whatshe did was claim enough to greatness, as one consider the legislation,social work, peace movements whichshe inspired and affected. Certainlyshe was not a representative American ; she was a century ahead of hertime. Professor Linn concludes hisbook with the indisputable statement :"If Jane Addams were truly representative we should now be living inthe millennium."AN AFRICAN BOY'S STORYWith Remarkable IllustrationsBoomba Lives in Africa. By CarolineSinger and Cyrus LeRoy Bal-dridge 3n, New York: HolidayHouse, $1.75.BOOKS for children describingother countries have changedmarkedly in character during the lasttwenty-five years. Boomba Lives inAfrica reminds us how far away weare not only from the highly informational little books of our grandfathersbut from the stereotype geographicalseries that were so plentiful duringthe early years of the twentieth century.The story of Boomba, the little ten-year-old brown boy, is realistic andbased on the Baldridge's first-handobservation of West Africa and thetribes who live there. It is, however,more than a description of Africanvillage life; it is an imaginative andsensitive picture of a little boy whomten-year-old readers will enjoy andunderstand as another child likethemselves, although he lives in whatwill doubtless seem to them enviablyinteresting surroundings.In its lack of condescensionBoomba Lives in Africa strikes amodern note in stories of the brown30THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINE 31races for children. Even WilliamBlake's lovely poem "The LittleBlack Boy," it will be remembered,assumed that all the world longed tobe white, an attitude that, less poetically expressed, has persisted over along period.LeRoy Baldridge's pictures havereal beauty, with a depth and warmththat bring tropical Africa before oureyes, and, because of the harmony inthe text, illustrations and design, thebook is notable as a thoroughly pleasing whole.INTERPRETATIONSQfA Great PoetThe Meaning of The Witch of Atlas,by Carl Grabo. University ofNorth Carolina Press, 1935. $2.50.Prometheus Unbound, an Interpretation, by Carl Grabo. University ofNorth Carolina Press, 1935. $2.50.FIVE years ago, in A NewtonAmong Poets (University ofNorth Carolina Press, 1930), Professor Carl Grabo, PhB 1903, begana crusade to establish the contentionthat Shelley was a more intellectualpoet than he has been usually considered. The book of 1930 was devoted mainly to the scientific background of the poet's work, especiallyPrometheus Unbound, and wasbriefly discussed by the present reviewer in these columns (December,1930).In the supplementary volumes nowavailable Mr. Grabo takes the scientific background for granted and dealschiefly with the neo-Platonic philosophy which he finds mingled with science in the Prometheus and in TheWitch of Atlas. The study of the latter poem was published first and maywell be read first, since — to quote Mr.Grabo— "the study of the Witch isthe best preface to the study ofPrometheus, for familiarity with Shelley's symbolism makes the languageof Prometheus easier to grasp andpermits the reader to concern himselfwith the ideas, which are philosophicaland profound."The interpretation of the Witch istoo complicated for statement of eventhe gist of it in this review, but it isextremely interesting and well documented. There are doubtless thosewho will question the need of soelaborate a discussion of what hascommonly been regarded as a minorwork; but Mr. Grabo's defense restson his belief that "The Witch of Atlasis a playful fantasy upon themes announced in the profounder work{Prometheus). The two poems aremutually illuminating ; interpretations of either are corroborative of theother." Certainly every reasonableaid to understanding of such a masterpiece as the Prometheus is welcome.The book on Prometheus Unboundis precisely what it claims to be — "aninterpretation." Elements from contemporary science that were discussedin A Newton Among Poets aremerely referred to or briefly restated.The emphasis is on philosophical considerations, and Shelley's philosophyis found to be mainly neo-Platonic. Itis the writer's deliberate judgmentthat "only in Lucretius and Dante . . .are to be found writers Shelley'sequals both as poets and thinkers. Butwhereas the thought of Lucretius andDante is for us outmoded, this is nottrue of Shelley. His problem was essentially ours and his solution is validtoday."Neither of these books is "easyreading," and some details may be unacceptable; but the author's spirit isnot dogmatic or controversial and hiswork merits careful study. His maincontention that Shelley was an intellectual poet with a very wide range oflearning and real power of thoughtmust be accepted. It has never beenright to believe that difficulties in hispoems were due to muddled thinking.That he poetized science and philosophy and in so doing made use ofsymbols which must be understood byhis readers seems a reasonable conclusion, and Mr. Grabo has undoubtedly done much to clarify the poemshe has discussed. It is sincerely tobe regretted that existing publishingconditions have not seemed to justifypublication of Dr. Freeman's improved text of the Prometheus, withProfessor Grabo's full commentary;but until that can be done students ofShelley can get much that will be newand useful to them from these twobooks and A Newton Among Poets.(Reviewed by George L. Marsh.)SOCIAL INSURANCE?"No," Says the DoctorSocial Insurance and Economic Security, by Dr. Edward H. Ochs-ner. (Bruce-Humphries.)THE interest of Dr. Ochsner, MD'94, a distinguished Chicago surgeon, in social insurance long antedates the advent of the CaliforniaUtopians, the appearance of the sympathetic sex in the cabinet and thewriting of the pending bill for economic security. He, as a young doctor,acted as an assistant in the^clinics atBerlin, Hamburg, and Leipzig, operated in connection with the social in surance scheme Bismarck gave Germany.Since discontinuing the official connection many years ago he has kepthimself informed about the methods,progress and results of social insurance by reading everything he coulcjlay eyes upon on the subject and byfrequent visits to Germany and othercountries. He has, moreover, maintained an active interest in governmental affairs and has served hisstate on welfare boards and commissions.With this background and experience, what Dr. Ochsner has to sayabout social insurance merits carefulconsideration. His conclusions andthe facts upon which they were basedwere first published as articles in anumber of medical journals.Proponents of social insurance, andof health insurance in particular, willfind nothing to support their positionin this work. In the experience ofthe countries which have experimented he finds the results have been uniformly bad. And with the governmental extravagance and inefficiencywhich prevails in this country he hasno confidence in better results here.But he is not alone opposed to social insurance, such as it has been,but also as such: Even if theschemes did all it was claimed forthem, he would still be against them.For, he points out, they would havethe inevitable effect of destroying theinitiative of a great number of people in whose independent activityprogress lies. If we have social insurance, Dr. Ochsner says, it will beat the price of the defeat of progressand recovery.With Prof. Wallace, Dr. Ickes,Prexy (almost of Wellesley, wasn'tit?) Perkins, and other cabineteconomists except Dean Dern (he'llbe Dern if he does — or doesn't) turning out so many volumes, one hesitates to say an approving word abouta new book on the New Deal. Nev-erthless an exception should be madehere.In this country, in which socialexperimentation has become such afetish that we are about to adoptEuropean schemes without more thanbrief consideration, it is worth whileasking how the schemes have workedin Europe and what would be theconsequences of their adoption here.Dr. Ochsner has rendered a publicservice by asking the questions andanswering them from his experienceand study.

John Day CompanyTHIS book is rightly called "ACritical Biography." Mrs. Shar-man's interest in writing this biography is to present to the public of theWest a historically correct interpretation of the life of Sun Yat-Sen, andto discredit the "legends" that havebeen attached to what she calls "TheSun Yat-Sen Cult." The book is noticonoclastic in any bad sense ; but itdoes take up such debatable questionsas whether Sun Yat-Sen was "Demigod or Man?" or "Leader or Mis-leader?" A Chinese reader may feelthat Mrs. Sharman has magnified theelement of cult in the hero-worshipof Sun Yat-Sen. It is doubtfulwhether the Chinese people who havebeen bowing to the Sun Yat-Sen portrait take him seriously as a religiousfigure, or regard him sentimentally asChina's modern patriot. The line ofdistinction between hero-worship andcult would be an interesting one todefine.The first nine chapters of the bookwhich are concerned with the actuallife of Sun Yat-Sen are written withgreat respect for history. The authorhas been most careful in discriminating reliable from unreliable information. These chapters form an absorbingly interesting story of a human figure, and the story is built onthe solid ground of painstakingscholarship. No one can question thesincerity of the author in her questfor the real person of Sun Yat-Sen.But Mrs. Sharman also gives aninterpretation of the "meaning" ofSun Yat-Sen's life. She will findpeople who disagree with her judgments, not because her judgments arebaseless, but because her standardsmay not be agreeable to others. Thelast chapter about the future of SunYat-Sen's Republic is not properly apart of the biography. However, itis interesting to both Chinese andWestern readers, for it contains theauthor's own honest opinions aboutthe fundamental weaknesses ofChina, and their possible remedy.The author makes a most significant statement when she says that SunYat-Sen has been made memorablebecause he assumed a role in history, and played it to the end. Thatsense of mission — or sense of destiny— gave direction to Sun Yat-Sen'slife. And direction is what is lacking among youth today: Peiping, ChinaSeptember 24, 1935Dear Editor:The Peiping China Alumniof the University of Chicagohave just had a very unusualexperience.

Madison St. Chicago presentations of last year played to largeaudiences and were very favorably reviewed by all Chicago critics.Mr. Helperin has accomplished allthis as his hobby while continuing hislaw practice from his office at 160 NorthLa Salle Street. He regards his combination of law and dramatics as a usualone. Quoting Mr. Helperin again fromthe Herald: "Dramatics and law seemto go together naturally. Many bigmen in the legal field are interested intheatrical work and many big men inthe theater are lawyers or have been.Fundamentally there is something dramatic in law. The presentation of acase has to be as carefully arranged asthe presentation of a play. In dramaticwork everything must be carefully timedfor the best reaction of the audience. Intrial, a piece of evidence which may beof great importance might miss fire entirely unless it is properly presented andproperly timed. It's a question of building up the evidence. The statement of awitness is to some extent a dramaticnarration. Training in dramatics isvery helpful in law. Contrarywise,logical legal thinking is helpful whenstaging a production. It keeps you moving along to a definite aim without being lost in byways and missing the major interest."1929Sam Street Hughes, JD, will finishhis first four year term as MunicipalJudge in Lansing, Mich., January 12,1936.
