Ourofficials are fond of taking junketing trips, whether toinvestigate the cost of inkwells in Patagonia or of haircuts in Tibet. Similar trips were favored by the Romans.During his canvass for the consulship Cicero wroteAtticus that he was planning to take a trip to CisalpineGaul, ostensibly as a member of an official commission,but actually to further his candidacy. One newspaperopposed to our present government gave prominence to aseries of articles describing the many trips taken by government officials at public expense. Perhaps some of itsreaders are so unsophisticated as not to know that officialsof all parties like to travel — at government expense.In one of his speeches, Cicero says that some senators were absent from the meeting so as not to put themselves on record concerning a certain matter. Mere mention of this statement is enough to recall how favoritea device this absenteeism is in modern times.The filibuster was a favorite legislative weapon inRome, as it still is. Over and over again we find legislation blocked in our Congress, especially at the end ofa session, by long speeches. The late Huey Long wasour all-time champion, I believe. At one time in RomeSenator Cato was filibustering against an agrarian lawin which the presiding consul, Julius Caesar, was interested. As this was not the first time that Caesar hadbeen thwarted by a filibuster of Cato's, he lost patienceand ordered Cato to be removed by force. The senateleft the senate chamber in a body. That method ofending a filibuster was not tried again.So far as I know, no one has ever computed howlong it would take to make all the speeches printed inthe Congressional Record if they had actually been delivered, but I suspect that if Congress remained in continuous session twenty-four hours a day, there still wouldnot be time for them all. What happens of course is thatthe congressman speaks five minutes then gets "leave toprint," and expands and revises his speech into a five-hour oration. The Romans had no Congressional Record.One is tempted to say "Thank goodness," but on secondthought we realize that a copy of a Roman CongressionalRecord would be quite as precious as other things found • By B. L ULLMAN, "03, PhD'08, Professor of Latinin ancient rubbish heaps. Perhaps two thousand yearsfrom now a copy of our Congressional Record will beconsidered as great a find as an empty tin can or a sparkplug. But to leave the future to itself and to return tothe present and past, we may recall that the Romans,too, revised their speeches before publication. Thespeeches of Cicero against Catiline were thus revised.Evidence of this is found in several places where interruptions by the audience have been incorporated into thespeech. But a more striking case of revision is Cicero'soration in defense of Milo. Milo was on trial for themurder of Clodius, and the latter's followers were in thecourt room when Cicero got up to make his speech forthe defense. Cicero made a very poor speech becausehe feared the Roman equivalent of a coat of tar andfeathers, or of lynching. As a result Milo was convictedand went into exile. Cicero afterwards wrote out a veryfine speech for Milo, which is still extant, but we canimagine that it brought very little consolation to Milo.It is in the last century of the Roman Republic,especially in the time of Caesar and Cicero, that wefind the most plentiful material for comparing ancientRome and modern America. The high point of Cicero'spolitical career was the year 63 B. C. when he was consul. In that capacity he put down the conspiracy ofCatiline and left a record of his activity in the four famous speeches of which some of you may have faint, ifnot fond, recollections. Ever since Then the name ofCatiline has been notorious. Not long ago Gen. HughS. Johnson called Father Coughlin and Senator HueyLong a couple of Catilines who may bring about a revolutionary chaos in which a dictatorship would be inevitable. Who was this man Catiline and what was heafter ?Catiline was a man of good family who went intopolitics like other young men of his class. His personallife was not above reproach, even if he was not themonster that Cicero depicted. His political methods werenot essentially different from those of his fellow politicians, though perhaps somewhat more raw. When inthe year 66 he felt himself cheated out of the consulshipby purely political charges of extortion, he planned tomurder the consuls. Clever politics prevented his running for the consulship in 65. Finally, in 64 Catiline was3THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINEDr. Ullman a candidate at the same time asCicero.There is no doubt that Catilinehad a large following. Haformed a coalition with Antonius,one of the other candidates, andthus had the support of many ofAntonius' friends. Why thenwas Catiline not elected? Theexplanation is that Catiline'sradical platform and the rumorsthat he would again resort toviolent means alarmed many ofthe nobles. By various insinuations Cicero cleverly increasedtheir alarm in a campaign speech. Now the nobleswere not particularly fond of Cicero. He was anovus homo whereas Catiline was one of themselves,and the nobles jealously guarded the consulship fortheir own order. Furthermore, Cicero had been amoderate liberal politically and not so conservativeas some of the senators could have wished. Butwhen the nobles became frightened about Catiline theyplumped for Cicero as the lesser of two evils. This sortof thing happens over and over again in our politics.A recent example is from the State of Washington. Ina primary election the Republicans became so alarmedat the extreme radicalism of one of the two Democraticcandidates for senator that they abandoned their ownprimary and voted for the less radical of the two Democrats. In Pennsylvania Governor Pinchot, thoughfriendly to President Roosevelt's policy, in 1934 supported the Republican candidate for the Senate on theground that he was the "least [I'm quoting] of two evils,the best of a bad bargain."At any rate, Cicero polled the largest number ofvotes. Antonius was a poor second and barely defeated Catiline. Cicero now became one of the spokesmen of the conservative party. The radicals began aclever series of political maneuvers intended to put theconservatives and especially Cicero on record, or "onthe spot." In other words, they were playing the kindof politics that may so often be observed in Congressbefore an election. First of all, an agrarian law was introduced that Cicero had to oppose. Of the four speecheshe made we have one left to us in complete form; in itwe see him attacking a popular measure in such a waythat he himself may not lose popularity. It is not without interest to us that Cicero advised the people to stayin Rome where they could enjoy the privilege of voting,the pleasures of the games and festivals, and other "advantages" — meaning of course a listing on the reliefroll — rather than to be settled on some sandy or swampyfarm. By this and similar tricks the radicals arouseda good deal of feeling against the conservatives. Fromthat time on Cicero was more or less tied up with thesenatorial or conservative party. It is true, however,that he was not an extremist and that he was at timesout of patience with the die-hards of his party. Heeven thought more or less seriously later of joining theradical Caesar and abandoning the conservative Pompey.But let us return to Catiline. In 63 once again he wasa candidate for the consulship and once again he was defeated, chiefly by the clever tactics of Cicero. Then hedecided to rally his supporters and to try force.It is time for us to look into the question of Catiline's support in his campaigns and in the conspiracy amito determine to what the conspiracy amounted. Historians have not treated it fairly (apparently becausethey have not read beneath the surface of Cicero's rhetoric) and have dismissed his supporters rather cavalierlyas being men of the basest sort. The clue to an understanding of the movement and of Catiline's support isfound in one of Cicero's speeches in which he describesthe followers of Catiline and divides them into six classes,the first four of which, be it noted, he wishes to cure oftheir political illness and to win over to the state. Obviously they cannot be the dregs of the populace. Theother two classes, consisting of criminals and morallydegraded persons, he does not want but urges them tojoin Catiline.The first four classes must, therefore, have enjoyeda certain amount of respectability and must have includeda large number of people. Let us see who they were,according to Cicero.First there are the people who own much property*but property that is heavily mortgaged.Second come those office-seekers who are heavily illdebt. They think that a change of regime might enable them to get government jobs and thus recoup theirfortunes.The third class is made up of two groups of farnters. First come Sulla's veterans, who had received government land. They had lived beyond their means inprosperous times, building houses fit for millionaires, acquiring numerous slaves, indulging in expensive banquets, and they now are head over heels in debt. Thesecond group includes impoverished farmers. Bothgroups believe that their only hope is in a dictatorship.The fourth class is a mixture of various elementswho have one thing in common : They all owe moremoney than they can ever pay back.Now it ought not to take much genius or research forus in our present circumstances to discover what the'trouble was. Could a writer today describe our ownsituation more clearly? In Cicero's list of Catiline'ssupporters we find rich men with fine city homes for theirown use and perhaps other property bought as an investment. Are these men the scum of the earth? Notany more so than many people of the same class living— or committing suicide — today. Cicero is a little disingenuous in advising them to sell some of their propertyto save the rest, for there was no market for city realestate or farm land then any more than there has beenduring our depression. Cicero himself in a speech madea few months earlier says that those holding land distributed by Sulla can find no buyers and would jump atthe chance to sell to the government.Another class consists of war veterans and farmers— no riff-raff there. All four classes owe money.It is hardly necessary after this enumeration to statein so many words what the trouble was and what solution Catiline offered. Anyone who reads the newspapers can guess. Economic conditions had becomesteadily worse for many years. Everyone was in debt.Four years earlier a bill to restrict foreign loans had beenTHE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINE 5passed. We may recall the restrictions placed on thesale of foreign bonds in this country not long ago.Three years before his consulship Cicero made aspeech in which he pointed out that the foreign investments of Roman citizens were endangered by war in theNear East. We may well recall the policy of moderngovernments, including our own, in behalf of investors.At times we have sent military expeditions to protecttheir interests, at times we have contented ourselves withdiplomatic representations. This has depended somewhat on the size of the country involved. One of themost recent examples is the protest of various countriesto Germany on account of the failure to pay interest infull on bonds held by private individuals. Cicero goeson to say that if the investors are not protected, the samething will happen that happened before, namely thatwhen payment of loans was stopped by loss of investments, credit collapsed. This is just as trueof domestic as of foreign investments. Withthe failure of numerous banks, the paralysisof real estate, the reduction or omission of dividends on account of reduced sales, credit collapsed completely in this country and has not yet been restored inspite of the heroic efforts of the pulmotor (or should wesay pull-money?) squads. As Cicero truly remarks, nolarge number of people can lose money in a nation without dragging many others with them. Even in Cicero'stime the financial structure was a delicate and complicated one. Cicero's statement that the collapse of foreigninvestments would be sure to have serious repercussionsin Rome applies to present conditions.The sensitiveness of our grain and stock exchangesto all sorts of political and other influences near and faris shown by the great fluctuations in prices that takeplace from day to day. Rumors of inflation, the assassination of a king, the speech of a politician, all havetheir effect. One may well compare these markets tothe seismograph, that delicate instrument which recordsearthquakes in remote regions. That the market wasquite as sensitive in ancient times is indicated by Cicero'sstatement in the same speech that the day on whichPompey was given the supreme command in the waragainst the pirates, the price of wheat, which had beenvery high, broke and reached a normal figure. Thishappened because people were confident that Pompeywould quickly put an end to piracy and enable the grainships to reach the harbor of Rome at Ostia.To return to Cicero's consulship. The situation hadbecome so bad that a panic flared up. Loans werecalled and gold flowed out of the country. The consuls,by authority of the senate, declared an embargo on goldand silver exports. This is exactly what happened inour country.When loans were called people could not raise cash,for the bottom had dropped out of the real estate andother markets. In this situation a certain rich bankerand investor helped restore confidence by declaring amoratorium on both the principal and interest due him.That is just what many creditors are doing today.Catiline's proposal was a simple one: cancellationor reduction of debts. This was not an unheard of proposal. In 86 B. C, during the hard times and panic resulting from the Social War and the loss of Asia and the money invested there, creditors were forced to accept25% of their loans in full payment thereof. In 91 B. C.there was inflation by debasing the currency, and ofcourse inflation meant a reduction of debt. Later on, in49 B. C, during the Civil War, when all credit had disappeared, when investors were afraid to invest their fundsand when debtors would not pay their debts, debtorswere asked to turn over their property to governmentofficials for appraisal on a pre-war basis, and the creditorswere forced to accept a scaling down on that basis if theywanted immediate payment. The average scaling downwas 25%. Anti-hoarding regulations were also put intoeffect. All this, of course, recalls our own inflation,brought about by going off the gold standard, our anti-hoarding law, our moratorium on farm mortgages, ourHOLC, with its attempt to scale down mortgage interest, our facilitation of bankruptcy, our refinancing ofmortgage bonds, and our other methods for reducing private debts. Catiline would be quite at home in present-day America. It may be added that as early as 352 B. C.Rome had a Home Owners' Loan Corporation.Our present national problem is far from simpleand there is no single right solution to it. Unquestionably some device for reducing private debts is as necessary now as in 63 and 49 B. C. Unquestionably, too,many persons today deserve relief from their debts justas some of Catiline's followers did. But there is anotherside to the picture. Many people have lost their desireto work and their responsibility for debts contracted.The alarming thing is that people who have always beenscrupulous about paying their lawful debts have beendriven by circumstances and by the example of others totake this view. For such persons Cicero has an excellent message in his essay on duty. After objecting toCaesar's moratorium on the payment of house rent headds :". . . And what is the meaning of an abolitionof debts, except that you buy a farm with my money;that you have the farm, and I have not my money?"We must, therefore, take measures that there shallbe no indebtedness of a nature to endanger the publicsafety. It is a menace that can be averted in many ways ;but should a serious debt be incurred, we are not toallow the rich to lose their property, while the debtorsprofit by what is their neighbor's. For there is nothingthat upholds a government more powerfully than itscredit; and it can have no credit, unless the payment ofdebts is enforced by law. Never were measures for therepudiation of debts more strenuously agitated than inmy consulship. Men of every sort and rank attemptedwith arms and armies to force the project through. ButI opposed them with such energy that this plague waswholly eradicated from the body politic. Indebtednesswas never greater; debts were never liquidated moreeasily or more fully; for the hope of defrauding thecreditor was cut off and payment was enforced by law."Many people today tell us that capitalism is dead,that the world can no longer survive under a capitalisticsystem. No doubt many persons had the same feelingin 63 and 49 B. C. and at many other periods of theworld's history — yet capitalism has survived. There isno reason, I believe, why it should not survive in thefuture if we want it to. That, in my opinion, is oneTHE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINEof the many lessons that history can teach us.I have called Caesar a radical. Such he was fromhis early years, apparently for political reasons, although,like other leading radicals, such as Catiline, he belongedto a senatorial or noble family. He counseled againstputting Catiline's fellow conspirators to death and waseven charged with participation in the conspiracy. Inany case he was consistently a member and leader ofthe party that demanded reforms in the interest of theproletariat. It is not surprising that Huey Long hasbeen called a Caesar as well as a Catiline. It was, then,a radical leader who became dictator of Rome and founderof the Roman Empire. In the same way today Mussolini began life as a socialist, and many socialistic ideasare incorporated in the fascist state. In Germany thedictator is head of the national socialist party and wonhis early successes on a platform of radical and socialisticideas that attracted the workingman and the poorerclasses in general. He promised that large estatesshould be confiscated and divided, exactly as the radicalsdid in Rome, and he assured the debt-ridden that interestwould be abolished, just as Catiline did. In Russia wesee a dictatorship of another type growing out of ultraradical ideas. In the United States the enemies of thepresent government have not been slow to point out thatthe radical policies of the government are leading todictatorship, that in fact one has already been initiated asa consequence of the extraordinary powers given thepresident by Congress. The parallel hunters may wishto point out that Caesar belonged to an old senatorial ornoble family that would ordinarily be conservative, andthat, in contrast to Mussolini and Hitler, President Roosevelt belongs to a family of the same sort. Itmight be added that the members of the Caesar family,like the Roosevelts, were divided in their political views.I need hardly add that a radical leadership does notalways lead to dictatorship, nor are all dictators ofpopular origin. Since penning these thoughts I haveseen Oswald Spengler quoted as saying that PresidentRoosevelt is either America's "first Caesar or a sort ofSt. John the Baptist who comes to make ready the wayfor the ruler."Under a dictatorship free speech disappears, as wehave seen in Russia, Italy, and Germany. Even under sobenevolent a dictator as Caesar this was true. Cicero anda friend wrote biographies of Cato, Caesar's arch-enemy,while Caesar was in Spain. In a letter Cicero, alwaysirrepressible in his joking, warns his friend of Caesar'sreturn: "Jiggers! Stop scribbling on your slate;teacher is back sooner than expected; I'm afraid he'llsend us to the place to which Cato has gone."Perhaps I have convinced you that there is nothingnew under the sun. At any rate I hope that I have shownthat some of the many startling things that have beenhappening to us since 1914 are not so new after all.Perhaps there is some comfort in this thought. We maystill have before us some very trying experiences, butthis old world of ours has a strong constitution. Beinglike a cat in the multiplicity of its lives it will not goto the dogs. If only nations would learn through thelesssons of history, as individuals learn by experience,life would be much easier. But until that time comes,we shall continue to have those upheavals which furnish such plentiful material to the historian.MODERNISMBy FREDERICK S. BREED, Associate Professor of EducationWhen the wise men of Israel recorded their celebrated Biblical proverbs, many a line was alreadyancient when they wrote. For example take the pulpit favorite: "Seest thou a man diligent in business,he shall stand before kings." This moral maxim wascenturies old when Solomon was wearing the Hebraicequivalent of kilts. According to that stimulating andirrepressible orientalist, Professor Breasted, the Hebrewsdid not invent this encomium to diligence; they simplyapproved and preserved it as it came to them from theEgyptian tradition. This is no reflection on their originality; it is a reflection of their peculiar taste in morals.Unfortunately, they could not foresee that a presidentialelection in the United States would require moderniza tion of the American Constitution, not only, but of theBible and the moral code as well. They could not dreamof such a conversation as the following in a family circleanywhere.Scene : A living room in a home on Main Street.Sanders is explaining the Sunday school lesson to littleEric. Suddenly Sanders finds himself intoning thefamous text in Proverbs : "Seest thou a man diligent inbusiness, he shall stand before kings.""And why will he stand before kings, daddy?" askedlittle Eric."Because," replied his father, "he will be summonedby the tax collector."A BRIDE'S EYE VIEW OF LIFEAs the Wife of an Itinerant Dentist• By MARION CHRISTY PHILLIPSIT WAS all so romantic when we plotted our world-spanning honeymoon in the parlor that spring. Ihad never traveled, but it wasn't hard for me tovisualize commodious quarters on a big white steamboatwith three tall smoke stacks. I could almost hear thewhistle. And then foreign ports — romantic Shanghai,mysterious Singapore, the road to Mandalay, "gayParee," Red Russia ! That we would have to work ourway by doing dentistry and manicuring seemed in thoseimaginative warm spring days to add spice to the daydreaming. It was fun to plan such a honeymoon. Butthen the bubble burst, and we started on our strenuoustrip of continuous tests.I remember now that the preacher did say warn-ingly something to the effect that all marriages were"for better or for worse." I wouldn't change placeswith anybody. But it would have been nice to haveknown in advance what to expect of life as the brideof an itinerant dentist on an economical world-spanninghoneymoon.The band did not play as our boat glided out throughthe Golden Gate, and we were not aboard the Empressof the Universe, or any such glorious vessel. We wereon the S. S. Golden Sun, a freight boat, and of the sixpassengers I was the only woman. What chance woulda beautician have, bottled up on a boat with a crew of"salts"? The dental prospects looked good, but I wasstill an untried quantity."Business before pleasure" was our motto. So weset up the dental equipment and tidied up our little office.I donned my apron, pinned my husband's new diplomaon the wall, and hung out the shingle. Expectantly wewaited and waited. The supply and the demand bothwere present; but sales resistance and dental inertiawere against us. On December twenty-fourth providence sent a toothache into the deadlock. What a luckyChristmas present! The wheels of production were setin motion.That night was a night of nights for me. Withstunning suddenness my role of honeymooning bridewas dropped, and I became only a dental assistant. Iwas commanded first to wash my hands (imagine!),and then to boil some water to sterilize the instruments.And I saw a long needle being placed on the end ofwhat looked to be a huge syringe. There was nothingthat I had learned as a school-marm to comfort my apprehension in what was my first extraction. The patientwas still a bundle of nerves after the sensations of thetooth had left — and so was I. I think I shuddered asI handed my husband the ferocious looking forceps thatI had had to sterilize. Trembling, I forced myself tolook— -thus I was initiated into the "blood brigade."Dreams were more real than they had been in the romantic spring. Dental consciousness spread like wildfire in theship's foc's'le, and business flourished. But strangeexacting tests were being given to me. I was learninginstruments, mixing cements and amalgams, sterilizing,keeping the books, and, worst of all, pumping the infernal foot-engine. Up and down I had to pump torevolve the hated drill. Consolingly, my husband saidthat the machine was designed to keep figures youngand sylph-like.The trial of being dental assistant would not havebeen so gruelling if uncomplicated by the roll of the ship.When the wild winds assaulted the sea and called forthhuge, vengeful waves, dentistry carried on. As theboat went through its three-dimensional changes, dentist,patient, and assistant went through contortions. Instruments rolled from side to side. Bottles toppled over.Everything was in a state of hectic relativity. Therewas no time for seasickness.A dramatic tragedy had its setting in our dentalparlor, and I was the martyr. The chief engineer submitted himself to the drill, which I revolved with thefoot-engine. His mechanical sensitivities were offended,so by agreement he paid his bill with an electric motor,which made my pumping unnecessary. I had heard ofmachinery replacing the horse, and even of its replacingmanpower. But an innocent female! The cruel machine age had robbed a defenseless woman of the principal element in her job. Seemingly chivalry and sexdiscrimination are part of a glorious past. My husbandpointed out that no less than a full horse-power motorwas needed to replace me. I couldn't decide whetherI had been flattered or insulted. But secretly I did missthe exercise.In touring Japan I was again made aware of thefact that I had married an itinerant dentist. My husband galloped from one dental interest to another, andI loped along by his side. We didn't frequent the tourists' hangout— the Imperial Hotel. We visited dentalschools and dental personalities. A tour through theTokyo Ladies' Dental College (exclusively for women— preferably ladies) was the undoing of one of myfavorite prejudices. Heretofore I had considered dentistry simply a manly art. But one out of thirteen dentists in Japan disproves this contention. And in thesorority of dental students that we were visiting, I coulddetect nothing inferior about the girls' technique. Being only a dental assistant, at first I was jealous ofthese career women. But I quickly rationalized andpitied their marriage prospects. I at least was on ahoneymoon a la moderne.While in Tokyo I paid another penalty for beingthe wife of an itinerant dentist. My husband and I wereguests of twelve of the city's foremost native dentalsurgeons at a typical Japanese party. As we entered78 THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINEThe first extraction on a Yangtsze River boatthe sukiyaki house, we left our shoes at the door, anold Japanese custom, and walked up one flight of stairsin our stocking feet. A panel of a wall was shifted andwe beheld our hosts sitting on the floor with their legsfolded under them Buddha fashion. We were cordiallygreeted, but to my astonishment not one of the dentistshad brought his wife. It is rarely done in Japan. Ifelt as conspicuous as a nun on the main street of Mos-co'w. Later, Japan's only American dentist and his wifejoined the party and I was rescued from the limelight.Pleasure came first, but pain soon followed. Andboth continued through the long eventful evening. Following the example set by our hosts, we squatted on thepillows in front of a very low table, and ate courseafter course with the aid — or rather handicap — of unwieldy chopsticks. The main course was sukiyaki andwas a very agreeable but mysterious mixture. Eachadditional course was brought through the sliding wallsby pretty almond-eyed girls wearing kimonos, with theirhair done up in high lacquered swirls. They servedgracefully while kneeling near the table.To be strictly polite we had to maintain a positionthat was from the start uncomfortable. By the end ofthe first hour, the circulation in the lower extremitieshad come to a stand-still ; muscles were aching andtwitching; and our joints felt the strain of the contortions to the limit of tolerance. We longed to unfoldour crumpled legs. If it had not been for the distracting and sparkling entertainment, the imposed-on members of our huddled bodies would have revolted in a wildstampede. Our hosts were acting out folk songs undera leader nicknamed for the evening "Number One BadBoy" (their version of "Public Enemy Number One").The atmosphere was one of discarded inhibitions. Courtesy and unlimited friendliness came to us in the formof unidiomatic English phrases. Finally after a complete evening of pain and pleasure we reassembled ourdistorted parts, found our shoes among many, and wentout into the night. The graciousness of the Japaneseis unforgettable.Conveniently for us there is no dental law in China.Anyone may declare himself a dentist and set up anoffice. We established ourselves in a mission residencein Shanghai. The name of the founder, Mr. Evans, has been distorted in an amusing pun that is known all overChina. The rest house is called the " 'Eavenly 'ome,"and in many respects it was 'eavenly. Although patientshere were plentiful, the gate receipts were more earthly.Woman power being more adaptable than the one-horsepower motor, I was demoted to "coolie of the foot-engine." Here again I didn't know whether to be flatteredor insulted.After doing dentistry on a Yangtsze river boat andin a customs compound, we had a sojourn in Hankowwhere again I paid the price. We were hoping to getto the only dental school in China, which is situated twothousand miles up the Yangtsze River on the bordersof Tibet. The water was too low for boat transportation, and the new plane service offered the only hope.When our interests were made known, the China National Aviation Corporation invited the full-fledgeddentist of the family to fly as their guest. But the dentalassistant was not provided for. Our exchequer, as inthe beginning, was still depleted to the ultimate, so Iwas perforce excluded. For the first time I began toimagine the dangers involved in this air trip.Jumping from a honeymoon to widowhood is nota rosy prospect, especially in central China. The planein one stretch has to fly between the precipitous wallsof the Yangtsze Gorges. This portion is called "spectacular" and "thrilling," but I felt it was suicidal. Besides, the vicinity of Szechwan province has been knownfor its hotbeds of bandits and lawless "Communists."To put it mildly, I was reluctant to say "Goodbye" andto see the plane disappear toward China's uncertain interior, leaving me to an uncertain future.The nature of the interim that followed demandedaction, not idleness, to keep my mind from rehearsingthe dire possibilities. I crowded my days with socialengagements, and busied myself with sight-seeing inthe rural environs. After the eternity of four days Irejoiced to see a tiny black speck in the West grow largerand the noise of the motors finally reach me. Buteven then I could not see the occupants. All was suspense until the plane taxied up, and the family dentiststepped out. Henceforth my slogan is "See your dentistat least twice a day."While traveling toward Peiping, we were arousedone evening by a shot and the crash of shattered glass.There was nothing in my upbringing to coach me inacting under fire. I had nothing to do but to followmy husband in his Chicago instincts. We both droppedto the floor. Whether it was Communist, bandit, orcelebrating soldier who delivered the lead, will remaina mystery. Maybe somebody was just trying to makeus feel at home.The latest vicissitude that calls upon my adaptabilityinvolves mental gymnastics and sleight-of-tongue. Weare cleaning, filling, and extracting on the S. S. Goblenz,a German boat, and for the most part my one year ofacademic "Deutsch" is the sole medium of communication between patient and dentist. I do not recall in myyear of German the equivalents of "extraction," "filling,""acute ulcerated gingivitis," and "acute suppurativepericementitis." But money sense is the mother of all(Continued on Page 12)MAN: FROM THE INSIDE OUTOr Vice Versa « '• By WELLS D.BURNETTEIT is news when after only six years of real existencea university department of learning takes rankamong the foremost in the country. But strangely,it was not news to those who had been associated withthe Department of Anthropology at the University ofChicago when Edwin Embree, head of the RosenwaldFoundation, last June classified Anthropology at theMidway as a "star" department among similar departments in other institutions. Those who had watchedthe work of this small group of scientists and seen thematerial results produced in both research and graduates felt that any other rating but a "star" would nothave been just.Although the actual existence of this departmentdates only from 1929 the need for research in this fieldwas recognized back in 1892 when Professor FrederickStarr was appointed to the faculty. The presentationof his findings among the American Indians and FarEastern peoples created considerable interest in thestudent body with the result that his classrooms werealways crowded, but because of inadequate facilities andhis frequent field trips, anthropological lectures werecatalogued under sociology where they remained until1929.After Professor Starr's retirement, a nucleus of adepartment was drawn together with Dr. Fay-CooperCole, former Assistant Curator of Anthropology at theField Museum, Dr. Robert Redfield, now Dean of theSocial Science Division, and Dr. Edward Sapir, directorof anthropological work in Canada. Success has stalkedthe department until now departmental offices, museums,and laboratories can be claimed as its own.At the present time there are seven on the teachingstaff and a number of field research workers. The workranges from local study with Indian and foreign residents of Chicago to the natives of the most remote areasof Malaysia. The teaching staff consists of departmentalchairman Fay-Cooper Cole, Dean Robert Redfield andprofessors and instructors including Alfred Radcliffe-Brown, Harry Hoijer, Frederick Egan, Manuel Andrade,and Lloyd Warner.In the words of Dr. Cole, the University's key anthropologist, "The Science of Anthropology is seekingto understand man, both physically and culturally, inboth the past and present. It is not content with theorybut is seeking to solve the problems of race and civilization by intensive studies. Nevertheless, it is now beginning to generalize its findings and is thus makingthem available to a larger audience, with the resultthat it is rapidly taking its place in American universitylife."The work being done in Anthropology according toto Dr. Cole is described in terms of five fields. First,the Archaeological which deals with the races and culture of prehistoric time. Next, is the Physical angle which deals with man's body, notes the results of racemixture, classifies hair types, facial characteristics, andbody structures which distinguish us from our long-tailed ancestors, or from our yellow, white, black, orbrown friends. The branch of Ethnology seeks to learnthe intimate details concerning the lives and cultures ofliving peoples, particularly of the more primitive groupsof today. Then there is the work of the Social Anthropologist who undertakes a comparative study ofmodern and primitive societies. Lastly, Linguistics embraces a comparative study of modern and primitivelanguages.Of interest is the fact that this set-up relates Anthropology closely to work in the three other divisionsbesides Social Science — the Biological and PhysicalSciences, and Humanities (the new Chicago plan groupings for all departments). As evidence Dr. Cole suggests that Anthropology is biological inasmuch as itdeals with man the animal. In turn, the search for evidence comes under the field, in part, of the geologists,while as soon as a culture appears, man immediatelyjumps into the social sciences and humanities. Truly,the anthropologists have the unique position of cateringto the branches of knowledge in toto.With the Staff at WorkAlthough most of the active research in the Department is on the continents of North and South America with native culture, work has been going on in distant parts of the world, in the Philippines, in China, inMalaysia, in Africa. All is being done to further knowledge of man, his beginning, development, culture, andrelationships.Along these lines, one of the most outstanding tasksof this department has been the recovery of the pre-his-tory of the Mississippi Valley. Survey parties have located and plotted the mound and village sites of theearlier Indians and have studied the material gatheredby local collectors. This survey serves as the eyes forthe excavators who have carefully opened key sites suchas those in Joe Davies and Fulton Counties (111.) orthe great pyramid mounds of the Kincaid region inSouthern Illinois.Careful excavation has revealed house types, utensils, and burials which have presented an accurate pictureof primitive life in America. Several hundred skeletonsand objects of material culture have been brought backto the University and housed on the top floor of Ryer-son Laboratory.In addition to the work in Illinois archaeology, acareful survey of the whole Mississippi drainage is beingconducted in order that local archaeology may be fittedinto the larger story of man's occupancy of America.This feature is making this department invaluable for910 THE UNIVERSITY OFgraduate students, especially to those interested in nativeAmerican backgr mnd.At present Dr. Thorne Deuel, research associate inthe Department is in Texas continuing the survey sothat complete records of the Gulf region may be available to Chicago students.The University is not only interested in uncoveringextinct cultures, it is concerned in preserving recordsof the relationships of existing modern cultures such asexemplified by Sicilian peasants in their island home.Along the line of Dr. Deuel's work, differing only inthe method of approach, we find Harry Hoijer andFather Berard Haile, a Franciscan friar, working withthe Indian residents of New Mexico and the generalSouthwest. The Reverend Father devotes his entiretime to the recording and interpretation of Navajo ritual and mythology, whereas Dr. Hoijer spends his sparemoments listening to weird American Indian sounds,which he tabulates and files by means of a specially devised phonetic scale. Inasmuch as no American Indianever developed a system of writing, Hoijer has to matchspoken words with symbols for transcriptive recording.The American Indian, explains Dr. Hoijer, alwaysconveyed his messages verbally. If there was no one totake the message to his family when an Indian bravewent to battle he went his way leaving the family tofind out as best they could. Time meant little and lifewas long.In the same work is Dr. Manuel Andrade, native ofSantander, Spain. Far from the Grand Canyon region,the scene of Father Haile's study, this professor is studying the languages of people who have been directly orindirectly connected with the Mayan culture. His sitehas been Yucatan and Central Mexico, but for the pastyear he has been analyzing the Mayan strains in Guata-mala. In this connection he hopes to find the direct orindirect effect of migrations upon the languages of thepeoples. At the same time he is looking for possiblerelations of these tongues to others on the continent.Thus far he has studied six languages, using an electrical transcription process in recording them. To thebest of his knowledge, he is the only man today who ismaking sound records of Mayan tongues for future use.In his office at the moment is a large file of aluminumdiscs, sound reproductions of unwritten words, whichwhen examined will be entered in one of the PeabodyMuseums.Some of the most interesting accounts of work nowbeing done by men of the Department come fromnone other than Dean Redfield, himself, who for fiveyears, under the wing of the Carnegie Institute ofWashington, has been examining the people inhabitingthe peninsula of Yucatan. Somewhere back in the early'30's a call went out from the Institute to a numberof universities to co-operate in exploring the aboriginalculture of America, determine its relation to the presentculture, and show the changes and the causes for thechanges. The University of Chicago was asked to contribute the ethnological and linguistic angles of the survey. Dr. Redfield consequently went to Yucatan toexamine the culture, with Dr. Andrade handling the linguistics.The best known site, we are informed by these CHICAGO MAGAZINEmen, is found at Chichen Itza. Here Dr. Redfield founda peculiar religious set-up showing the effect of a diffusion of a new culture with the old.The natives of the area long ago had, what wemoderns like to term, a pagan religion with all the accompanying ritual and witch doctors. Along came theWhite Man's contribution to civilization, Christianity,and before these natives fully realized it, Christianitywas absorbed into their life until religion became to thema combination of gods and God.Here is an example of what Dr. Redfield beheld:The natives had just planted their corn and to insure an early harvest they summoned the village MaestroCantor, a Christian priest, who before a cross and shrineoffered up a prayer. Participating in silent fashion inthe same festivities was an H-man, a priest of the oldfaith. After this ceremony, to insure one-hundred percent support from the gods or God, the group adjournedto the corn field where appropriate prayers were offeredup by the H-men to the god of the harvests. The formermaster of ceremonies stood alongside, in respect, butsaying nothing. Dr. Redfield assures us that there wasno direct feeling of conflict. It is all religion — and thenatives are simply religious. Here is an example of theinfluence of one culture on another. This is the sort ofthing that the Department is interested in. But, muchof their work is not so easy to trace, inasmuch as customs, peculiarities or practices may not be so obviouslythe result of a fusion of cultures.In the same vein are stories of "talking" shrineswhich are found in the same area. These shrines areoracles which are kept heavily guarded and have beenreputed to give verbal answers to questions. The illusion is spoiled, however, when in the next breath Dr.Redfield tells us about a fieldworker who it is allegedfound a box hidden beneath the shrine in which thehigh priest was able to hide and expound at great lengthto the reverent, but naive natives. Although this storyhas no direct bearing on the problem it is the sort ofhuman-interest event picked up which aids in understanding the background of the people being studied.In the last analysis, Dr. Redfield is attempting tothrow light on this question: Is the breakdown ofreligion and of social organization among these peoplesthe result of the spread of secular patterns of thought oris it an inevitable result of increased mobility and technical development?In an effort to answer this question four towns varying in distance from modern culture have been studiedand reported, (1) Merida, (2) Dzitas, (3) Chan Kom,and (4) Tuzik. Into all these towns Western cultureis moving, but the latter of these villages is still independent and tribal. The study is serving as a gaugeto measure what effects Western culture is having on theoriginal peoples, Merida being the closest and Tuzik thefarthest from the invasion.From another section of the world somewhat similarmaterial is being gathered by Professor Radcliffe-Brownwho is studying in the Far East, Chinese village lifeand the effect of foreign culture invasions. FrederickEggan has returned to the University after spending(Continued on Page 23)THE WOODEN INDIAN MYSTERYTHE Right Honorable Charlton T. Beck, editorof your Magazine, had business in Galena, Illinois,some weeks ago. While transacting this business,he left his wife at an antique shop in the city — always adangerous thing to do, Carl ! Sure enough, upon hisreturn Mrs. Beck asked her husband to step into theshop for a moment (Oh! Oh! — we knew it). But no,we were wrong.The proprietor had learned they were from theUniversity district in Chicago."You don't, by any chance, know any of the professors at the University of Chicago, do you ?" asked thelittle man behind the counter."Why, yes, I have a speaking acquaintance with afew of the gentlemen." (Can't you hear Carl say thatwith a twinkle in his eyes?)"Do you chance to know one by the name of 'Good-speed'?""Dr. Edgar J. Goodspeed? Yes, I have met him anumber of times.""Well, if you should see him when you return toChicago will you tell him that, since he is connected withan educational institution, I will allow him the educational discount on that wooden Indian, which will beforty dollars less than the regular price I quoted him?"You can imagine the thoughts passing through themind of Carl Beck on his return trip to Chicago : "Dr.Goodspeed" — "New Testament Department" — "translator of the New Testament" — "wooden Indian" — "canit be the Divinity School is opening a home missions'museum ?" It sounded like a news story for the Magazine.Dr. Goodspeed was mildly surprised when approached by Mr. Beck on the subject. It was evidentthe professor had practically dismissed the incident fromhis mind. Not that he wasn't interested in woodenIndians but that this one was tod large for his purpose.* sjs #In the midst of a lake in northern Wisconsin nestlesa picturesque island, summer home of the Goodspeedfamily for more than forty years. Ten minutes walkfrom this lake is another in which there is a secondisland owned by Dr. Goodspeed. On the latter islandis a rustic cabin with a large fireplace where the familyfrequently adjourns for picnics and summer outings.This island, Hikhookmot by name, has been given anIndian setting, which explains Dr. Goodspeed's interestin the wooden Indian at Galena. It had occurred to theprofessor that such a figure, presiding over the cabinand the island, would be quite appropriate. Ignoring theoriginal purpose of this early American figure, Dr. Good-speed discovered it was an excellent piece of hand carving, probably of Blackhawk himself. It was a little large,however, for the mantel of the brick fire place in thecabin. • By HOWARD W. MORT, Editor, Tower TopicsWe are authorized to announce, therefore, thatneither the New Testament Department nor Dr. Good-speed are, at present, in the market for a life size woodenIndian unless he be in a sitting posture, which wouldtend to keep his head from among the rafters of the cabinon the island of Hikhookmot.* * *The mystery of the wooden Indian in no way compares with the one which Dr. Goodspeed has built aboutthe search for ancient manuscripts on the shores of theBlack Sea in his new novel, The Curse in the Colophon.We didn't lay the book down from the moment theGrecian mother caused a near-panic in her native town —and considerable embarassment to the occupants of theboat upon which she placed a curse — until the homingpigeon, carrying a message to the outlaws, was shot bythe professor's party and the manuscripts were placedsafely in the hold of the ship.Variety, the nationally known showman's weekly,in the November sixth issue, believes the story has possibilities for an excellent motion picture production. Thisinspires Harry Hansen, '09, an old friend, to write informally :Dr. Goodspeed:I am surprised, Sir, to discover you among theliterati of Variety.

BARDEN, '35AS we go to press one of those tragedies whichmark the end of a great epoch struck the University campus. Vigorous James Henry Breasted,world-famous orientalist and historian, creator and director of the University's potent Oriental Institute, wasstricken and died of streptococcus infection soon after hewas taken from the boat in New York after a summersojourn in Italy and the Near East.Colleagues expressed their shock at his sudden passing and their admiration of his scholarly achievementswhen the news reached them. The museum of theOriental Institute was closed for the day and the University's flag was lowered to half-staff."Dr. Breasted was probably the most famousscholar in our faculty," said Vice-President FredericWoodward. "In addition to his remarkable achievements in discovery and research, he was a great organizer and executive, a brilliant lecturer, and a man ofextraordinary personal charm. His illuminating bookson the early history of civilization are read not only byscholars but by intelligent laymen all over the world."Our loss is irreparable. In the Oriental Instituteof the University of Chicago, which Dr. Breasted established and developed to its present high standing, heleaves an enduring monument."At his own request Dr. Breasted's remains werecremated. There were no funeral services, but plansfor a memorial service to be held later at the Universitywere made. Besides Mrs. Breasted and his son, CharlesBreasted, Dr. Breasted leaves a younger son, JamesHenry Breasted, Jr., now studying oriental history atQueens College, Oxford, and a daughter, Astrid. Thelatter had remained in the Near East and is now en-route to America. The first Mrs. Breasted, the formerFrances Hart, whom he married in Berlin in 1894,died July 24, 1934. On June 8th, 1935, Dr. Breastedmarried his first wife's sister, Mrs. Imogene. Hart Richmond, and their trip to the Near East was in part awedding trip.Dr. A. T. Olmstead, long-time colleague of Dr.Breasted, who succeeded to the chair of Oriental Languages from which Dr. Breasted retired two years ago,to devote his time to the administrative work of theInstitute, said :"James Henry Breasted was the first American professional historian of the ancient Near East; before hisdeath the world recognized him as its foremost historian.When his History of Egypt was published in 1905,ancient history itself was barely recognized by professional historians, the Orient was abandoned to thephilologist and theologian. Professor Breasted almostsinglehanded made the Orient truly historical with hisvivid pictures of the 'living past.' His professionalcolleagues recognized this by the presidency of theAmerican Historical Association. "Unlike so many of his colleagues, ProfessorBreasted believed that research was useless unless presented to the public in attractive form. His AncientTimes, the text book in ancient history of the last generation, brought to hundreds of thousands of youthful mindsthe conviction that the ancient world was as living asthe present. His Conquest of Civilization brought this'New Orient' to more mature but equally enthusiasticreaders. It is the simple truth that the overwhelminginterest in the ancient Near East so manifest today inAmerica is due primarily to the influence of ProfessorBreasted."At the height of his reputation and in the full maturity of his powers, he turned from the personal researchwhich was to him the very breath of life to provide forthe future of his beloved studies. After repeated disappointments when his projects seemed on the verge offulfilment, at last, through the generosity of Mr. JohnD. Rockefeller, Jr., he founded the Oriental Institute atthe University of Chicago. In this great laboratory ofhistory, as he rightly called it, he collected the largestgroup of scholars dedicated to these studies in the world,and set them, young and old, the common task of presenting a fuller, more authentic, and more living pictureof that fascinating past. The published works whichhave made his great reputation will live after him, but hisgreatest contribution to the future will be the books ofthose young men trained at the Oriental Institute forwhose inspiration Professor Breasted laid aside his ownresearch."Pioneering in his field, a vivid and prolific writer,Dr. Breasted's ambition to recover for modern civilization the story of man's rise from pre-historic savagerywas given great impetus with the establishment of theOriental Institute as a research organization at the University in 1919. Largely through the generosity of JohnD. Rockefeller, Jr., the expedition work was put on apermanent basis through large gifts in 1928. In 1931the new $1,500,000 Institute building on the Midwaycampus was opened.This latter event was in the nature of a personaltriumph for Dr. Breasted, who almost single-handed hadorganized in a young middle-western city the greatestconcerted effort ever made to unearth the lost chaptersin the history of biblical and pre-biblical times. Dr.Breasted's Chicago offices served as headquarters fortwelve expeditions, employed more than 100 staffworkers and several thousand native diggers, who aredeployed at strategic sites around the western basin ofthe Mediterranean, regarded as the cradle of civilization.Dr. Breasted's first "expedition" to Egypt, made in 1899,was done on a budget of $500, with equipment consisting of a camera and a donkey. The annual budget ofthe Institute is now $700,000, and its workers utilizeall the devices of modern science in their work.1314 THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINEIn addition to his major works on Ancient Records°f Egyph in five volumes, and his Ancient Times, hehad published Oriental Forerunners of Byzantine Art;The Edwin Smith Surgical Papyrus, an editing of a document 2,000 years older than any medical or surgicaltreatises descended from the Greeks; and The Development of Religion and Thought in Ancient Egypt andThe Dawn of Conscience, in which he makes it clearfor the first time that the ultimate source of the inheritedmorality of the Western World goes far back of Hebrewhistory, to the early Egyptian civilization.Absurd SuperstitionWilliam F. Edgerton, Associate Professor of Egyptology at the Oriental Institute, refuted conclusively whathe called "the absurd superstition of 'Tut's curse,' " andany theoretical connection it might have with the deathof Dr. James H. Breasted."The often quoted 'inscription' in which Tutenkhamon allegedly called down curses on any who shouldviolate his tomb is a pure fabrication," declared Dr.Edgerton. "The lavish care which modern Egyptologistsgive the tombs, mummies, and funerary furniture of thePharaohs would be highly pleasing to them. We knowthis because several Pharaohs themselves removed thebodies of some of their predecessors from the originaltombs to other resting places where they could be moresafely guarded — and these ancient 'tomb violators' actually boasted of what they had done as a pious act."Mr. Howard Carter, the single man directly Violating' Tutenkhamon's tomb, piercing the outermost doorof the tomb with his own hands, November 5, 1922, isstill alive and well," asserted Dr. Edgerton, "and itwas also Mr. Carter who opened the third sealed doorway that leads to the burial chamber where Tutenkhamon's body lay and still lies in royal estate. Thiswas done in the presence of Dr. Breasted and sometwenty other persons. So far as I can discover, mostof them are alive and well today."After Mr. Carter had personally begun to removethe masonry blocking this doorway," continued Dr.Edgerton, "he was assisted by Mr. Arthur C. Mace andMr. Thomas Callender. Only one of these three men(Mace) has died in the intervening years. Callender,like Carter, is alive and well."When Dr. Breasted did enter the tomb, his effortswere entirely devoted to studying and recording thecontents of the tomb and especially the seal impressions,"related Dr. Edgerton, "According to ancient Egyptianideas, this work by Dr. Breasted was wholly beneficialto the dead Pharaoh and would have been looked uponby the Egyptians as an act of piety toward Tutenkhamon,since it tended to 'preserve his name.'"Dr. Breasted had nothing to do with the eventsleading up to the discovery of the tomb," concludedDr. Edgerton, "and at no time did he have any officialconnection with the work. When he was present atall, it was merely as an observer, called in by LordCarnarvon and Mr. Carter in the interest of modernscience. If Dr. Breasted had 'violated' the tomb, then scores of thousands of tourists have violated it in morerecent years."HORATIANUM BlMILLENIUMPresentation of a facsimile volume of the works ofHorace, ancient Roman poet, was the chief feature ofthe University of Chicago's celebration of the 2,000thanniversary of the birth of Horace before a full audienceof 200 people in the Assembly room of Harper MemorialLibrary on the campus. The facsimile was laboriouslymade page by page from a tenth century manuscript,once owned by Petrarch, Italian poet, and now thechief glory of the Laurentian Library in Florence. JohnS. Miller, president of the Friends of the Library, anorganization of prominent citizens interested in the University libraries, presented the gift and Richard P. Mc-Keon, dean of the Division of the Humanities acceptedfor the UniversityDr. Gordon J. Laing, dean-emeritus of the Divisionof Humanities, delivered an address, "Horace and theCulture of Today." Mr. Miller's daughter, Judith, atrained rhetorician, read some selections from the Odesat the beginning of the commemoration services and theBond Chapel choir of the University students sungother selections from Horace. The University's commemorative program was a part of a nation-wide celebration of the Horatianum Bimillenium during this week.Horace's actual birthday comes December 8.On Those Who Read Bad BooksThe "general reader" is probably feminine (sixty-sixout of a hundred) ; she is twenty-three and a half yearsold, has had three years of high school, and reads threebooks a fortnight.This is a conclusion of Miss Jeanette Foster's Doctor of Philosophy thesis, "An Experiment in ClassifyingFiction Based on the Characteristics of Its Readers,"which has been accepted by the University's GraduateLibrary School."Not quite once a month," continues Miss Foster,"she reads a book of non-fiction; about once a monthshe reads a 'good' novel; but fivt books in seven arelighter fiction. She gets four-fifths of her books fromthe public library."Using data gathered chiefly through public librariesin South Chicago, Hinsdale, Winnetka, and Evanstonin Illinois, Morris County, N. J., and Fraser Valley,British Columbia, Canada, Miss Foster has classifiedthe constant relations between the known characteristicsof readers and 254 authors they read.Conversely to the "general reader," she found thatthe "typical author" is one who "is read by forty-threepersons in a fortnight — persons whose age averages abouttwenty-three, and whose education comes to about threeyears of high school.""Thirty-five percent of his readers are male," MissFoster continues, "Nearly fifty percent are students;twenty-one percent are housewives; six percent are engaged in the professions ; two percent are store-ownersTHE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINE 15or salesmen ; five percent are clerks and stenographers ;five percent are in the skilled trades; and five percentare in unskilled labor."One-seventh of the 15,000 reading choices MissFoster investigated were in non-fiction, one-seventh in"good" fiction, and the rest in poorer fiction, of whichabout one-sixth is juvenile or adolescent."Needless to say, no single author or reader fulfills all of these conditions," writes Miss Foster. Thestatements, she indicates, are based on the mathematicalaverages of the factors of age, education, sex, merit ofauthors, and number of reading choices per individualper month.War vs. PeaceOn the occasion of the seventeenth anniversary ofthe World War, a University Armistice Day Peace Assembly was held Friday, November 8, at the UniversityChapel. Professor Andrew C. McLaughlin, noted historian and authority on the Constitution, gave the mainaddress of the assembly. Jack Allen, chairman of theStudent Social Committee, Cynthia Grabo, head of theY. W. C. A., Quentin Ogren, of the Student VigilanceCommittee, an organization of students who are opposedto war, and Donald Baldwin of the National Council ofMethodist Youth were student speakers at the meeting."There have been two kinds of civilization in theworld," said Dr. McLaughlin, "those which rest on forceand those which rest on discussion. United States isdedicated to discussion as a means of settling all disputes among her own people and states. There is noreason why the United States should not stand by herprinciple of discussion in world affairs, thus avoidingwar and bringing a sense of international interdependence."Fate of New Deal LegislationThose of us who are concerned about the fate ofNew Deal legislation whether on the reactionary orradical side of the fence will be interested in what DeanWilliam H. Spencer of the School of Business has tosay about the Wagner Bill.While the National Labor Relations Act contains"some ill-advised provisions" and is subject to criticismbecause of "certain serious omissions," it is on the wholea sound piece of legislation, Dean Spencer former chairman of the Chicago Regional Labor Board, says in TheNational Labor Relations Act, a study just publishedby the University of Chicago Press."The Act is not as bad as employers seem to thinkit is," Dean Spencer comments, "and it certainly isnot a panacea, as organized labor pretends to believe."The statute as a whole is vulnerable to constitutional attack on several grounds. The Supreme Courtmay declare that one or more of the 'unfair labor practices' are unconstitutional on the ground that they areunjustifiable interferences with freedom of contract, guaranteed by the Fifth Amendment. The Court may alsodecide that certain other sections offend against the dueprocess of law clause because they do not provide foradequate judicial review of the Board's decisions andactivities in connection with the selection and designation of representatives for purposes of collectivebargaining."Although it is unlikely that the Court will declarethe whole law unconstitutional on the ground that itinvades the sphere of state control over local affairs, itis possible that the Court may so far limit the application of the law as practically to nullify it."There is little doubt but that in the immediatefuture the Labor Board will proceed with great cautionin the assertion of its jurisdiction and powers. Thereis little doubt that employers will resort to all mannerof legal devices and strategy to tie the hands of theBoard until the Supreme Court has had opportunity topass judgment on the constitutionality of the Act."Finally, it is somewhat premature to assume thatwe have come to the end of a competitive regime, thatwe are permanently committed to a regime of economicplanning through theoretically large, well-balanced pressure groups, that, since employers are typically well-organized, labor groups must be encouraged to organize, and that a return to competition is unthinkable. Inconsistency is scented, if not demonstrated, when thePresident at the same time advocates higher taxes as ameans of decentralizing large industrial units and signsthe Labor Act which will undoubtedly tend to the solidification of workers into large economic pressure groups.""The New Labor Board set up under the WagnerBill is moving slowly prior to constitutional tests in thecourts. It has only half a dozen cases or so under consideration, while the old Labor Board had 300 duringa corresponding period of time," said Mr. Spencer recently at Fullerton Hall, Art Institute, speaking on"The Wagner Bill and Collective Bargaining."AppointmentPresident Robert M. Hutchins announced Tuesday,November 12, the appointment of Ronald S. Crane, Professor of English, as chairman of the Department ofEnglish at the University of Chicago. Since the deaththis summer of Charles R. Baskervill, former chairmanof the department, Robert Morss Lovett has been acting-chairman.Professor Crane is a graduate of the University ofMichigan and took his doctor's degree at the Universityof Pennsylvania. From 1911 to 1924 he advanced frominstructor to assistant professor to associate professorat Northwestern University. Coming to the Universityof Chicago as an associate professor in 1924, he wasmade full professor in 1925. Professor Crane's chiefinterest lies in the English essay and he has edited twovolumes entitled The English Familiar Essay in 1916and New Essays by Oliver Goldsmith in 1927. In connection with the latter work, Crane discovered thatGoldsmith, before he wrote his famous Deserted Villageas a poem, had written it as an essay. Since 1930, Professor Crane has been editor of the learned journal,Modern Philology.GiftsAn ancient Greek manuscript of the Gospels of Lukeand John, written about 1300 A. D. and discovered in16 THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINEAthens, was recently acquired by the University ofChicago's Divinity School. It was purchased fromDaniel Kellad, a numismatist (dealer in old coins) ofJersey City, largely through a gift by John S. Miller,Chicago attorney.This addition is the twenty-sixth volume of NewTestament Greek manuscripts in the University of Chicago's collection, which is the second largest in thecountry. The University of Michigan at Ann Arborowns at present the largest collection of these manuscripts.Scholars have noted that the chief peculiarity of thisparticular manuscript is the unusual formation of theGreek letter gamma, throughout the volume. Most ofits pages are unadorned by miniatures or colored letters.The memory of two men on the famous originalfaculty brought to the University of Chicago in 1892by President William Rainey Harper was honored whenthe Board of Trustees at their last meeting acceptedthe portraits of J. Laurence Laughlin, professor of Political Economy, 1892 to 1916, and Franklin Johnson,professor of Divinity, 1892 to 1908.The portrait of Professor Laughlin, who was thechief academic proponent in the country of the 1914Federal Reserve Act, was painted by Johansen andnow hangs in the Social Science Assembly Room atthe University. The portrait of Professor Johnson,done by Charles Hopkinson, is in the common roomof Swift hall.The portraits were presented to the University byMrs. J. Laurence Laughlin and Mrs. Franklin Johnson, wives of the deceased scholars.NeurosesDr. Alfred Adler, famed proponent of "individualpsychology" of Vienna and the Long Island MedicalCollege in New York, lectured at the University campusrecently on "The Meaning of Neurosis."Dr. Adler is one of the leading authorities of theworld in the field of dynamic psychology, according topsychologists. Early in the century he was a collaborator with Sigmund Freud of Vienna. Sharply disagreeing with Freud as to the fundamental cause of nervousdisorders called "neuroses," Dr. Adler and his followersbroke away to form their own school of thought, "Individual Psychology." This school maintains the doctrine of the "indivisible unity of personality" in eachhuman being. When this unity of personality is disturbed the neurosis occurs, Adler says, while Freud attributes neurosis to sex, according to University psychologists.To explain the forces which drive men and womento want security and even supremacy, Dr. Adler coinedthe term, "inferiority complex." Here Freud and Adlerdisagreed again, Freud holding that these drives canbe traced to sex.BooksGertrude Stein has written a new book, which waspublished on December 10 by the University of Chicago Press, containing four lectures she delivered at theUniversity last year under the general title, Narration. Thornton Wilder, novelist, professorial lecturerat the University, and friend of Miss Stein, has writtenthe introduction to the sixty-two page book.The book has a very unusual cover of modernisticdesign, and the make-up throughout is as unusual asMiss Stein's style. Her writing in this book is intelligible to the average lay reader, treating grammar, thedistinction between prose and poetry, the relation ofnews-writing to history, and the relation of the writerto his audience.Essays in Honor of William E. Dodd have beenwritten by twelve former students of the present UnitedStates Ambassador in Germany, who is Professor emeritus of Modern History at the University of Chicago.The book includes : "America and Freedom of the Seas,1861-65" by Frank L. Owsley of Vanderbilt University;"Contemporary Opinion in the Virginia of Thomas Jefferson" by Maude H. Woodfin of Richmond College;"The Fabric of Chicago's Early Society" by Bessie L.Pierce of the University of Chicago ; and "The Ideologyof American Expansion" by Julius W. Pratt of theUniversity of Buffalo.VacationPresident and Mrs. Robert Maynard Hutchins ofthe University of Chicago left Saturday, November 16for points west in the United States and sailed forHawaii, November 29, on a long-deferred vacation.Vacations mean business for President Hutchins,however, since he addressed no less than 15 groups atcities in the West and Hawaii, including academic organizations, universities, lecture foundations, and educational associations of Salt Lake City, Santa Barbara,Claremont, Pasadena, Oakland, San Francisco, andHonolulu. Some of the topics President Hutchins discussed are : "The Outlook for Higher Education," "ThePublic and the Educational System," "The Outlookfor Public Education," and "The Rising Generation."President and Mrs. Hutchins sailed from San Francisco on the President Hoover and will return on thePresident Coolidge in time to get back to Chicago byDecember 21.Olympics"Future Relations of Catholics, Protestants, andJews in America" is the subject of a series of five extension lectures by Winfred E. Garrison, associate professor of Church History at the University of Chicago.The lectures are being given on successive Tuesday evenings in Swift hall on the campus.Interviewed on the subject of what America's policy should be toward the Olympic Games scheduled inGermany next year, Dr. Garrison said, "I am all forAmerica staying away from the Olympics if they areto be held in Berlin. The best reason I can think offor this action is in agreement with the recent statement that the Olympics belong to the athletes, not tothe politicians. If the athletes go to Berlin, we canrest assured that the Olympics will belong to the German Nazi politicians."AN ALL-TIME FOOTBALL TEAMFor ChicagoAS the Chicago captain plunged, over the Illinoisgoal line my next door neighbor turned to meand said, "What ten men would you add to Berwanger in making up an all-time Chicago football team ?"The reply is of no importance, but right then and thereit was decided that an all-time football team should bechosen — not by the editor of the Magazine — but by apeculiarly qualified group of judges.The selection of the judges was somewhat arbitraryto be sure, but every effort was made to select men ofjudicial temperament, with fair to medium judgment,and a first-hand acquaintance with Chicago football dating back to the middle nineties.Fifteen patriarchs were eventually chosen fromamong the thousands of Chicago alumni. They werelawyers, doctors, merchants, and chiefs, with a coupleof newspaper men and as many university professorsthrown in for balance.With full realization of the advanced ages of thoseselected, it was definitely decided that only such judgesas had the physical strength and mental alertness to fillout their questionnaires within a seven day period shouldbe allowed to vote on this momentous question.Each judge was requested to select candidates for afirst and second team, thus setting an all-time precedentat Chicago in providing a substitute for each of theoriginal eleven players on the field.At the end of the allotted period eleven judgeshad filed their returns, ten of them facing the task witha proper appreciation of its seriousness — while theeleventh, in a moment of effervescence, went acutelyacademic.A grand total of fifty-seven candidates were recommended by the ten serious minded judges for membershipon the all-time Chicago team of twenty-two players.And along with the nominations came sundry commentsand explanations, far too interesting to file without publication.Pro Bono Publico after submitting a first team madeup of Speed, center; Pondelik and Lawrence Whiting,guards; Rademacher and Schommer, tackles; Catlin andSpeik, ends; with Kennedy, Eckersall, Berwanger, andHerschberger behind the line, says: "No apologies forthe line. They never got hurt, they knew their jobs,and to an extent were interchangeable. -Fast, hard-tackling tall, rangy ends — Kennedy at quarter backweighed nearly 200 pounds stripped, ran the 100 in10 2/5, could punt first class and back up a line magnificently. The half backs have everything from abilityto call signals to punting and ball carrying. Eckersallwas as great a drop kicker as there has been, and although lighter than Berwanger was the best open runnerof his generation. Herschberger never got hurt. Hecould play half or full, run ends, buck the line and was one of the greatest punters, drop and place kickers football has known."Then here comes an explanation or an alibi fromOld Timer when submitting for a first team the following line-up: Rouse, center; Babe Meigs and Pondelik,guards; Farr and Spike Shull, tackles; Crisler andCatlin, ends; Eckersall, Herschberger, Berwanger andJohn Thomas in the back field."I take some of these as of one year only — Farr,for instance, and Pondelik as of his one first-rate yearin three he played. To put Walter Steffen on a secondteam is painful; but then, think of omitting WalterKennedy altogether! Or Harry Thomas. Or JohnSchommer."There are only four about whom I have no doubts— Eckersall, John Thomas and Jay Berwanger in thebackfield, and Crisler at end. Eckersall was undoubtedlyfor his size the finest player that ever stepped on a football field — or ever will, since drop-kicking is now a lostart. Herschberger was a middleweight, Berwanger is aa really heavy back, but Eckie was faster than eitherof them. Berwanger and John Thomas were unstop-able, Eckersall was uncatchable. All three were as goodon defense as on offense. Crisler was, I think, with thepossible exception of Kenneth Rouse, the smartest football player we ever had at Chicago, the quickest to seethe picture of the whole field and the keenest in analyzing the psychology of his opponents.. Put Russell (ofwhom Zuppke said he would never make a quarterbackbecause his nose was too big) with Crisler and Rouse,and you have our three smartest players since 1892."Except at center, where we have been fortunate,we have never had linemen quite to equal the brillianceor power of our backs. I could name ten guards andtackles grade A, but not A+. The smaller ones lackedthe necessary tremendous strength, and the bigger onesthe equally necessary tremendous speed, for A+ rating.But in the backfield — well, give any coach my first-stringbackfield, and any other coach, Thorpe, Heston, Gippand Nevers, and lines of comparatively equal strength,and the coach of my four would win three games outof five."Walter Camp, the second, offered the followingdramatis personae : Rouse, center ; Maxwell and Worthwine, guards; Kennedy and McGuire, tackles; Crislerand Page, ends, with Eckersall, Berwanger, Norgrenand Herschberger in the backfield positions. He explainshis selections in the accompanying letter."In making my selections for the All Time University of Chicago football team, I have followed, for themost part, the mythological principle — that is, I havenamed players who, for one reason or another, havebecome demi-gods of the game's traditions. In manycases I would not venture to proclaim my choice as a1718 THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINEbetter man, pound for pound and inch for inch, thanother stalwarts who have been omitted. I merely givehim precedence because of his eminence in Maroon folklore."Starting with center, however, I have put aside theAU-American reputation of Des Jardiens in favor of theactual worth of that brilliant young modern, KennethRouse, and I name him as captain."The guards have bothered me, because these soberworkhorses never produce demi-gods. But Maxwell(Bob, Fat or Tiny) was certainly any coach's ideal fora guard, with great speed in addition to his heft. Worthwine was a guard before his promotion to full-back. . . .For the second team guards I give you two massivegentlemen, completely satisfactory in all-around play.Weaver may be questionable, but in his last year he wasall-time stuff."My appointment of Walter Kennedy to a tackleposition follows the mythological principle. He was atrue 'great,' and I had to find a place for him. WhenI discovered that he played tackle before he becamequarterback, one of my problems was solved. The appearance of Art Badenoch as second team tackle is basedupon the fact that he, with Mark Catlin, accomplishedthe scoring of the safety against Michigan in the historic2 to 0 victory."Walter Steffen deserves first team rating, butEckersall's position is secure in folk-lore. I could notgive him another position in the back-field without a lossof weight and power in that department. But I comforthim with a captaincy."A Poor Judge has still a different selection of firstteam candidates. He would place Des Jardien at center,Ahlswede and Pondelik at guard, Parry and Shull attackle, Catlin and Hamill at end with Eckersall, Berwanger, Steffen and John Thomas in the back field andhis comment is so pertinent and so interesting that weprint it in full."In the first place it is an insane project to selectan All Time Chicago Football Team when the game haschanged so greatly in 40 years. In the second place, noman, not himself a good, well-seasoned football player,has any qualification to judge of football ability. In thethird place, if you select two men for each position, thereare many instances in which a dozen men equally competent are thereby unjustly ignored. For instance, Ican think of 10 ends and 10 half-backs in which the choicecould well be decided by tossing a coin."However, I am going to send in some selections,simply in order to make clear one point and that is, inselecting an all time team consideration should be givento the oustanding ability of the man in a game at thetime he played it, regardless of the fact that perhaps agreat half-back of the old days might or might not bea good handler of forward passes today, or that a plunging full-back in the old days of mass formation mightnot measure up to all of the requirements of today. Onthe other hand, an elusive, clever ground gainer in 1935might have been only a mediocre player in the old daysof mass formations, where a three yard gain meant asmuch as six yard gain today. So I make a plea for just Jay BerwangerAll ten judges nominated himconsideration of some of the old timers and herewithcomment on some of my selections."Center — Des Jardien, a great center for either thenew or old game ; Ellsworth, an earlier center who wouldbe welcomed anywhere today."Guards — Ahlswede and Pondelik; undoubtedlytwo of Chicago's greatest guards. I resurrect Flanaganof the '99 champions and Art Badenoch of the 1905champions because I saw them perform great deeds,although I suppose there are a half dozen other menwho, by experts on line play, would be put in the sameclass, or ranked higher."Tackles — Ed Parry and L. C. Shull, both outstanding. To add Feil and Jonathan Webb, both of the99 team, is to emphasize old time ability and Webb maynot class with later, more brilliant tackles, but for faithful reliability he deserves consideration, especially whenyou look at the lines of Eastern and Western teamswhich the '99 team outplayed."Ends — Catlin will be chosen by many experts. Iperversely add Ralph Hamill instead of later notableends because he was one of the most remarkable naturalends I ever saw in action. Both Place and Crisler mightout-rank Hamill in expert judgment and I think of tenother brilliant ends who really ought to be named. Infact, wouldn't H. O. Page be a great star in the moderngame on any team ; also Schommer ? Here is where theselection of all time stars is unjust, no matter what the'choice."Quarter-back — Eckersall is the obvious choice,especially when Steffen is placed in his original positionof half-back. Probably Pete Russell would be the logicalnext selection. But I saw Walter S. Kennedy playTHE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINE 19quarter-back and to my mind no smaller, lighter mancan compare with that 190-pound man with the speed ofa high hurdler and the brain of a natural field general."Steffen has first call as half-back and from all Ican learn Jay Berwanger has acquired all time staturein the last three years, with an all around ability whichcan't be denied. Norgren is an obvious all time star andI think that Herschberger with his great punting ability,in addition to his all around offensive and defensive playshould be given recognition. A good team needs morethan one punter and kicking ability is far more importantthan is generally recognized today."Full-back — John Thomas has an all time recordand would be closely followed by Austin McCarthy.But, again, I think attention should be called to an oldtimer, Slaker, dubbed by George Vincent as "the human13-inch shell.' When I think of what he used to do inthe way of breaking through the massed defense of earlydays, I shudder to think of the holes that he would makein a modern loose line."Now — there are my selections because you askedfor them. But don't. you dare credit them to me ! I havemade enough enemies in the last few years, not to wishto add 40 years of Chicago football players. Just thinkof all the real stars whom I haven't even mentioned.Leo DeTray, Hugo Bezdek, Fred Speik. Nd— I willsend you the list. But after a horrified glance at it, youmust light a match and burn it up, so that no one canever say I added this folly to the many which I havecommitted !"But enough of individual opinion ancLpersonal comment. What of the composite findings of the ten judges?Who, in their opinion are members in good standing ofthis mythical all-time Chicago team? The consensus ofopinion is worked out very simply on a numerical basis.A candidate was credited with 10 points each time thathe was nominated to the first team. If all ten judgesnominated the same individual to membership on thefirst team he would be credited with 10x10 or 100 points,which is the highest possible score. For each nominationto the second team a candidate is credited with 5 points.Based on this numerical system, we find that the all-timeChicago team is made up of the following 22 players.Before the name of each player appear the total pointswith which he is credited in the composite vote of thejudges. For the benefit of those whose memories do not goback to the days of the beginnings we will line up thesquad:Center100 Berwanger95 Eckersall85 Catlin75 HerschbergerCrisler70 J.

So here is your All-TimeChicago Football Team. It may have been chosen onsentimental rather than on scientific grounds — but as itstands it is an aggregation of which any educationalinstitution might well be proud. And as Amos AlonzoStagg looks over this roll of gridiron battlers — opposedthough he is to the policy of all-time selections — it is ourhope that he will get a sense of satisfaction, if not a realemotional thrill, at the remembrance that all but one ofthe men so honored got his training under none otherthan the Grand Old Man of the Midway.And in conclusion may we submit to you the All-Time selection of Don Quixote, the gent with the academic complex.

MILLETT, PhD '31 , Associate Professor of EnglishI.F THE good life in the modern world can be achievedonly after a prolonged discipline in material and intellectual rejections, it must also involve a long andarduous training in discriminating acceptance. For it isthe inescapable duty of modern man to create for himselfout of the processes of rejection and acceptance a coherent conception of human personality and of the universethat is the stage of that personality's brief and piteousdrama. All the relevant information that biology, psychology, and history can offer him must be integratedin his conception of the nature and evolution of humanpersonality. All that geology, astronomy, physics, andchemistry can contribute must be wrought into an intelligible blue-print of the universe.But it cannot be too vigorously affirmed that thehuman being who is not merely or entirely a scientistmust train himself to discover those findings of the armiesof scientists that are humanly pertinent, those that modifyor create essentially human values. Only a very smallnumber of the millions of facts painstakingly accumulated have veritably human relevance. All facts may beworth recording, but only those are worth serious consideration that have a bearing on the human being's understanding of himself and of the universe out of whichhis life is wrought. In the intimately cogent field ofmedicine, for instance, what the layman, as distinct fromthe scientist, needs to know, is, not the endless and amazing complexities of anatomy and biology (of which hehad better preserve a certain healthy ignorance), but thetechnique for keeping his biological mechanism in working order and, when it inevitably breaks down, for dyingas comfortably as possible. And if the biological sciencesare only occasionally relevant to the human problem, howirrelevant are most of the findings of the physical sciences ! In fact, they can have relevance only when theyhave been transmuted, usually by a philosopher ratherthan a scientist, into pertinent human terms.The greater task is that of evolving a system of essentially human values upon the foundation of what sciencecan relevantly teach. On this foundation must be workedout the technique for the adjustment of the human personality to its environment. That adjustment will besatisfactory only when it meets the basic needs andurges of the individual, from the elementary urge to self-preservation to the more complex needs for pleasurableaesthetic and intellectual activity.There is little danger, of course, that modern man willneglect the basic problem of physical well-being. Theproblem is constantly forced upon his attention by publicity incidental to the sale and distribution of patentmedicines and exercisers, health foods and fads. Theunintelligent will take at their face value the claims madeby corrupt advertisers, and will fill their stomachs andmedicine chests with harmless or poisonous nostrums.The unintelligent will pervert exercise from its legitimate function as a source of genuine recreation to a compulsive activity calculated to destroy rather thanpreserve the health of the biological organism.But for most modern men, the problem of self-preservation is one of economics rather than of physiology. Millions of modern men have neither wealth nor imaginationenough to escape becoming nursemaids to machines,contributors of the single human impulse that makesmachinery productive. The psychological consequencesof this condition of human servitude are even moreterrifying than the physical consequences. The mostserious consequence is fatigue, a state which, howevernormal it has come to seem, is actually abnormal, sinceit arises from boredom and the absence of an absorbinginterest rather than from physical exhaustion. Untilmodern industrial society is thoroughly and intelligentlyrebuilt, the only escape for the slave of the machine isthe devotion of his hours of leisure to creative and pleasurable activities of a social, aesthetic, and intellectualsort. Such compensation is, of course, transitory, but itmay serve. For the few fortunate beings who may choosetheir means of livelihood, the problem of economic adjustment is relatively simple. For labor of a creative sort,whether scientific, artistic, or intellectual, is not debilitating, but energizing. After all, such labor is not work,but the most satisfying form of play.Of equal importance with the economic adjustment ofthe individual is his social adjustment, the satisfactoryworking out of his relation to other human beings. Todiverse types of personality, this problem offers opposedaspects. For the extraverted personalty, the expressive,enthusiastic being, whose face turns eagerly to men andto affairs, the problem of social adjustment is, not thatof creating satisfying relationships, but of controlling hisimpulse to increase beyond human endurance the numbers and the demands of such enterprises. The extravertmust learn that for his spirit's health he must allow himself periods of retreat into seclusion when his spirit mayrefresh itself. For the introvert, to whom all or nearlyall social relationships are exacting and fatiguing, theproblem is one of working out a technique for humanrelationships and of restricting the operation of thattechnique to the limits of his outgoing energy. For,unless he would immure himself in a laboratory or ahermitage, he must come to satisfactory terms with atleast a few beings other than himself.For both the introvert and the extravert, the relationship we call love furnishes the central problem of socialadjustment. For the love relationship is at once themost difficult and the most satisfying of human relationships. It is exacting, because, while biological in origin,it succeeds only wrhen it involves the harmonious fusionof two complete personalities. It is the most satisfyingof relationships, because it is the richest in the exchangeof vital energies. At its most glamorous, it invests, notonly the beings concerned, but the whole of life, withthe light of a fairer world; at its deepest, it is the22THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINE 23fountain head of morale, courage, kindliness, consideration, and happiness. But for its perfect flowering, itdemands the instinctive and intelligent cooperation ofthe rarest powers of the human personality.Such a relationship the soft-headed sentimentalist orthe hot-blooded romanticist will endeavor to establish inpermanence and stability. But the realist acknowledges,regretfully perhaps, that stability and human nature aremutual contradictions. Stable relationships are uncrea-tive and dead and should in decency be buried. Thegenuinely creative relationship involves and encouragesthe emotional, aesthetic, and intellectual growth of boththe personalities concerned and the sharing of the life-o-iving by-products of such growth. In these rare humanrelationships there is need for patience and toleration,courage and cruelty, but the cruelty must be the cleancruelty of surgery, not the obscene cruelty of the fakiror the sadist.Most human beings are conscious of aesthetic needswhich the good life must satisfy. To some, art will seemthe highest form man has been able to give his efforts todepict and interpret himself and the world. To others,the arts of comedy and obscenity will commend themselves as occasional harmless escapes from the inescapablymoral world. Art has its various significances, but itspeculiar distinction is that the pleasure it gives is of anon-acquisitive sort, and the pure aesthete, like the noblelover, does not feel it necessary to possess the objectof his devotion before he can enjoy it. A sunset or awater-lily or a sky-scraper does not lose its aestheticsignificance by being enjoyed by thousands rather thanby a single possessive person. Aesthetic pleasure shouldfifteen months in the Philippines furthering the workstarted by Dr. Cole there several years ago.

Onlylast year Mrs. Laura Boulton, research assistant, returned from Africa with a large repertoire of native music on sound discs to be used in the study of a musicwhich so far remains untainted by modern civilization. —And these are but a part of the activities of the University's Anthropology Department !In its brief span of existence, the Department hasbecome all-inclusive. All undergraduates are requiredto sample the work as a part of the Social and BiologicalScience surveys. Each year more than four hundredstudents are enrolled within the Departmental classes,while a goodly share take their degrees in the field.As a major feature of the work promising students are allowed to participate in its research projects.The motto, "One Learns By Doing" has been fully accepted. The results of adherence to this slogan are reflected in the competence of the men turned out. They be generous enough not to despise even the most humbleand tasteless manifestations of the impulse to create orenjoy art. Only the aesthetic snob who builds up a falsesense of his own superiority out of his sensibility and discrimination will sneer at the bizarre embroideries in thefarmhouse parlor or the glossy-coiffured movie-heroes inthe drab hall-bedroom.The enjoyment of art, like the enjoyment of socialrelations, demands patience, application, discrimination,but above all honesty. A taste that is assumed becauseit is fashionable is as false and corrupting as an affectionthat is disingenuous or a romantic emotion that is simulated. For the aesthete, vulgarity, dishonesty, and snobbishness are continual temptations. Here, as elsewhere,the potentiality of corruption is perpetual.The seeker for the good life in the modern world willnot find it wise to deny himself leisure for the operationof his mind over the whole problem of himself and hisplace in the universe. Out of every man's heart springsthe desire for a coherent conception of his own nature,his way in the world, and the world in which he mustmake his way. Such a conception must draw into itselfall the pertinent knowledge that science and philosophyhave accumulated. But even more important is the taskof defining one's own interpretation of these inevitableelements, of defining, in particular, the system of valuesthe individual would create as he goes through the physical, emotional, economic, aesthetic, and intellectual life-process. For it is in the clarification and discriminationof values, and in the application of his powers and energies to the establishment of those values that man findshis most exacting but his most rewarding activity.are in demand by other universities. Nearly one hundred percent of the graduates of the Department havebeen placed in good positions. And, as this account isbeing written three graduate students without degreeshave been called to the University of Tennessee tosupervise archaeological work in the pre-historic cultureof that state. The students will receive a year's experience with pay for their efforts.From the four corners of the world have come students for study in the new field. Back in 1931 CharlesG. Blooah, son of a tribal West-African chieftan cameto the University, and upon completion of his undergraduate work in Anthropology returned with Dr.George Herzog of the Department to study his tribeobjectively from the standpoint of science.Everything from teaching to field work and studyis directed toward one goal, the solving of the problemof the physical development of man and his culturalgrowth. These Anthropologists at the University areon the ball, to see man from the inside out — or viceversa, and they are certainly uncovering a lot of dirtdoing it!MAN: FROM THE INSIDE OUT (Continued from Page 10)ike ^Tamllu xilkurnMAY we introduce one of the literati?

HOWE, '27Scores of the MonthFootballChicago, 13 ; Wisconsin, 7Chicago, 13; Ohio State, 20Chicago, 0 ; Indiana, 24Chicago, 7; Illinois, 6Before proceeding with a discussion of the lasthalf of Chicago's football season your correspondentwishes to commit himself on one point. Conceding thathis experience as a gazer at college football has beenlimited to thirteen seasons, he wishes to state that Captain Jay Berwanger is the greatest football player he hasever seen, and, more than incidentally, one of the mostgentlemanly.Last month this department was puzzled about theresults of the first half of the season. With a squadsomewhat above the Chicago average in talent, the Maroons had been beaten by Nebraska by a decisive score,but not too convincingly; had chased two practice opponents around Stagg Field ; and had lost, this timeconvincingly, to Purdue. The puzzlement has now vanished, except for that Indiana outcome, which is almostas difficult to explain as it is painful to recall. The otherthree games of the last half were dandy.The Maroons finished in a three-way tie with Northwestern and Michigan for fifth place in the Conference standings, on the strength of two victories and threedefeats. This is just about where they belonged, and itis Chicago's highest rating since 1927. Jay Berwangerscored all but 6 of Chicago's 33 points in the final fourcontests, and might have scored the 6 had he elected tocall his own signal for a one-yard plunge against OhioState.Of the three games we care to remember the winningteam had to come from behind — the Maroons twice,Ohio State once. The Wisconsin game, though hardlya thing of technical beauty, was a thriller, and it endedwith the first Maroon victory over the Badgers since1927. Chicago had the better of the play in the firstquarter, but could not score. Early in the second periodBerwanger drove the Badgers back to their goal linewith a quick kick, from which point Wisconsin electedto try an ill-advised lateral pass from a fake punt formation. Nyquist recovered the resulting fumble for Chicago on the one-yard line, from where Berwangerhurtled over for a touchdown, Jay failing to convert theextra point. Wisconsin scored after Berwanger hadfumbled on his 20-yard line, and made good on extrapoint to lead 7 to 6. Jay then took the Wisconsin kick-off behind his goal line and returned it handsomely 78yards to the Badger 22 yard mark. He loped straightup the middle of the field to where the Badgers were converging at about the 25 yard line, veered suddenly to;the left as he was about to be tackled, turned on thesteam as he slanted to the sidelines and was finally tripped up by the last Badger defender 22 yards shortof a record run. A Maroon fumble halted the advancemomentarily and Wisconsin punted. Here young OmarFareed, sophomore halfback for Chicago, became a minorhero. He shot a 38-yard pass to Gordon Petersen, leftend, then on the dead run tossed an 11 -yard pass toBerwanger, who slid over for the winning touchdown.Wisconsin, which had connected on 18 passes the previous Saturday, threw no fewer than a dozen forwards inthe last ten minutes, half a dozen of which were so closeto being good for touchdowns that the Chicago partisanshad their first opportunity in years to pray for the finalgun. It was the first occasion since the advent of CoachShaughnessy that Chicago was neither behind nor farahead in the closing minutes. Jay Berwanger carriedthe ball 25 times for total gains of 115 yards, exclusiveof his long kickoff-return, while Fareed was creditedwith 67 yards in 12 attempts. Fareed, three weekslate reporting for practice, was the regular right halfback before the end of the season. He is the son of aPersian psychiatrist living in California, and he waspromptly dubbed "Omar, the scoremaker."The Ohio State affair was probably the most satisfactory defeat the Maroons ever experienced. Scheduledto lose by four touchdowns, the Maroons gave the alleged "Scarlet Scourge" the scare of its season, led13 to 0 well into the third quarter, and succumbed onlyto vastly superior man-power. The Buckeyes advancedto a first down on the Maroon 4-yard line early in thefirst quarter, but could not score on four plunges. Inthe second period Merritt Bush, Maroon tackle, blockedan Ohio punt, the ball going out on the Buckeye 9-yardstrip. Berwanger ripped six yards through the Ohio lefttackle, then hit center to the one-yard mark. WarrenSkoning, fullback, sailed over the middle for a touchdown. In the third period Ohio marched to Chicago's15-yard line, where the Maroons held for downs. On thefirst Maroon play thereafter Berwanger raced 85 yards,in the most spectacular example of open-field artistrywe have ever witnessed, for the second Maroon touchdown. He started to the right, through a clean holeopened over the Buckeye left tackle, and caromed towardfour secondary tacklers five yards out. Two of thesegot in each other's way, one Jay stiff-armed and theother merely broke Jay's stride. Veering toward theleft sidelines Jay ran on, paced by two more Ohio tacklers, who closed in on him and apparently had himboxed at midfield. Then came the master stroke. Berwanger came to a lightning stop, twisted to the right, andlet the Buckeye tacklers fly past him. He continued toangle right, hip-swayed a seventh Buckeye tackier andoutfooted another across the goal. Ohio shortly thereafter scored on a 63-yard march as the Maroons, including Berwanger, began to tire. McDonald and Heekinof Ohio advanced 40 yards on plunges, Pincura passedto Heekin on the one-yard line, and Heekin plunged2526 THE UNIVERSITY OFover. In the fourth period Ohio made good on three longpasses, twice from Pincura to Bettridge and once, forthe touchdown, from Pincura to Wendt, tying the score.Late in the period Berwanger unloosed a beautiful puntto the Buckeye 10-yard line but the play was recalledand Chicago penalized 5 yards for offside. Berwanger 'snext effort was taken by Ohio's famous "Jumping Joe"Williams and returned to the Ohio 47-yard line. Williams and Bettridge advanced to the Maroon one-yardmark, where Berwanger threw Williams for 6 yardsloss. On the next play Williams fumbled momentarily,recovered and found his way through a big hole for thewinning score. Ohio had a substantial margin in thestatistics; Chicago enjoyed one of its most moral moral-victories. Berwanger gained 130 yards in the thirteentimes he carried the ball.With Berwanger injured and present more in spiritthan in flesh, the Maroons met a strong and much underrated Indiana team the following Saturday. The Maroons advanced the ball 60 yards in a march at the startof the game but lost it through a pass interception, thefirst of four such interceptions by Indiana that hurt thehome team considerably. In the second period theHoosiers scored a touchdown on a 48-yard march, anda field goal after intercepting a Maroon pass. In thefourth period Indiana scored again when, after a passinterception and several short gains, Norton broke loosefor a 26-yard run. Then, in the last seconds, came afourth Indiana touchdown that sent Maroon zealots homein despair. Four Chicago passes failed and Indianatook the ball on its 45 -yard line. Two long passes weregood to the 2-foot line and Walker plunged over on thelast play of the game. After the gun had sounded Indiana made its try for extra point; the ball was mishandled but the kicker picked it up and galloped aroundend with insulting aplomb for the coupe de grace.Illinois was a different and a glorious story. Aftersix straight home games the Maroons went down toChampaign and closed their season with a 7 to 6 victory. There are those who hold that a narrow victorywas preferable to a wide one, in view of the fact thatthe Illini had in the two previous seasons eked out thethinnest kind of wins over the Midway lads. It was agrand, triumphal exit for Jay Berwanger, who scoredChicago's seven points and made more than twice asmany yards from scrimmage as the entire Illinois team.Jay went into the game needing just 33 yards in runsfrom scrimmage to have rolled up an even mile in histhree seasons as a Maroon. He made 42 yards in hisfirst four tries. The first 20 minutes of the game sawChicago advancing several times well into Illini territory,only to be checked by penalties and a battling Illinoisteam; a team, it should be said, which was outweighedand which had lost several key men by injury during astrenuous season. A beautiful 72-yard punt by LesLindberg of Illinois, which rolled dead on Chicago's3-yard line, put Chicago on the defensive. After severalexchanges Lindberg began to throw passes and his thirdin a series was taken by Bobby Grieve, fastest whitesprinter in college track competition, for a long touchdown run. Lindberg failed to make the extra point.When the third period was 13 minutes old Berwanger CHICAGO MAGAZINEgathered in an Illinois punt on the 50-yard line andmade one of the greatest runs of his career. No fewerthan eight Illinois tacklers laid hands on him as helurched and stumbled and powered his way to the one-yard line, where he was brought to one knee as he slidacross. Jay twice called the signal of Warren Skoning,fullback, and when Skoning was checked Berwangertook the ball himself and drove 4 yards across the double-stripe. Then he calmly proceeded to kick the extra pointwhich ultimately meant victory. In the fourth periodIllinois laid down a barrage of passes. Ewald Nyquist,for three seasons the competent, faithful and unsungblocker of the backfield, had his moments of glory whenhe intercepted three Illinois passes. Most observers believe the Maroons could have scored again in the lastfew minutes, but Berwanger wisely played the marginsafely the Maroons holding the ball for 3% minutes deepin Illinois territory. Skoning turned in a sterling performance, gaining 85 yards on short plunges to takesome of the attention from Berwanger, for whom Illinoishad laid its defense plans. Another hero was EdmundWolfenson, for three seasons a reserve guard, whostarted for the first time and did a fine job as a crashing end on defense. Bob Shipway, another reserve,who was in for a few minutes as quarterback, pulledthe Maroons out of one hole when, with Chicago on itsown 3-yard line he invented a play to fit a weaknessin the Illinois defense and sent sophomore Fred Lehn-hardt crashing 18 yards to comparative safety. SomeIllini partisans felt that Illinois should have been creditedwith a touchdown on the last play of the first half. TheMaroons tried a forward-lateral from their own 20-yard line, the lateral being intercepted by Nelson ofIllinois. Officials ruled that Nelson stepped out ofbounds a foot from the goal line. Maroon players saythat Nelson siezed Berwanger, who was to receive thelateral, and illegally swung him out of position, andthat Berwanger would have been free for a touchdown.The squad was fairly fortunate in the matter ofinjuries. Berwanger 's shoulder injury greatly reducedhis effectiveness against Indiana; Sam Whiteside, redoubtable center, was out of one game; Fareed missedone game, Indiana, because of a hurt ; Bob Perretz, end,never regained stride after an ankle injury in theopener at. Nebraska; and Harmon Meigs and PrescottJordan, regular guards, were banged up several times.But the sidelines list was never so great as, for example,it was at the time of the Ohio State game in 1934. Meigs,incidentally, becomes the ninth son of a C man to winthe major letter. His father, Merrill C. Meigs, nowpublisher of the Chicago Evening American, played withthat famous 1905 Maroon team which downed the Michigan "point-a-minute" eleven.Five regulars, Berwanger, Bush, Nyquist, GordonPetersen and Perretz, and six reserves, Wolfenson, Whitney, Blake, Marynowski, Jones and Dix, completed theircompetition. Merritt Bush, tackle, who carries 240pounds on a 6 foot 5 inch frame, has been mentionedon several All-Conference teams. Gordon Petersen wasprobably the second most valuable player on the team,because he was able to play capably at both center andend. This was a great help to Coach Shaughnessy, whoTHE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINE 27needing 22 men to man a first team and a complete reserve team, tried to fit his sixteen best performers into22 positions. Three sophomore backs, Fitzgerald, Fareedand Lehnhardt, developed well, and Warren Skoning,junior fullback, improved markedly as a plunger.As this is written Jay Berwanger apparently isbeing selected for every All-American listing that is published; in some writings he has been hailed as the outstanding player of the year. Jay, who doesn't read thesport pages during the season, takes it all very modestly, has begun preparing for the track season (he isco-captain), has been elected senior class president, hopesto make the American Olympic team as a decathlonman, hopes to find a good job.There are no Berwangers in the freshman class, butthe first-year candidates are a promising lot, probablythe best in several years as a group. There are two goodbackfields and a fairly good line coming up as prospective sophomore talent for next year. The official dictumis that next year's team will be "better balanced" thanthat of this year.Basketball prospects for this year are definitely up.Bill Haarlow, the Berwanger of basketball, who led theConference in scoring, with 156 points, despite thefact that the Maroons won only one Big Ten victoryand finished in the cellar, is again and naturally the starof the team. Every other candidate will have to fightfor his job. Four other lettermen of last year areback, Bill Lang, long-distance sharpshooter who playedboth forward and guard, Gordon Petersen, center, andStanley Kaplan and Dick Dorsey, guards. These men,and several of last year's reserves, including Dave Le-fevre, a good guard, are faced with competition fromabout ten useful sophomores. Outstanding among thelatter is Jim Gordon, forward, who will not be in residence until Jan. 1, but who will make a formidable running-mate for Haarlow. Others are John Eggemeyerand Irving Berlin, forwards; Paul Amundsen, center,and Bob Fitzgerald and Kendall Petersen, guards.The basketball squad will probably be slow in rounding into shape because of the fact that so many are sophomores and so many are football players who could notreport for practice until late in November. It should,however, give a better account of itself in Big Ten playthan any recent Maroon team. The schedule follows:Dec. 7-— DePaul at the Midway.Dec. 10 — Marquette at Milwaukee.Dec. 14 — Wheaton at Chicago.Dec. 21 — Armour at Chicago.Jan. 3 — Carroll at Chicago.Jan. 6 — Wisconsin at Chicago.Jan. 11 — Purdue at Chicago.Jan. 13 — Indiana at Bloomington.Jan. 15 — Loyola at the Midway.Jan. 18— Michigan at Ann Arbor.Jan. 22 — Marquette at Chicago.Jan. 25 — Northwestern at Evanston.Jan. 27 — Michigan at Chicago.Feb. 1 — Purdue at Lafayette.Feb. 8 — Indiana at Chicago.Feb. 15 — Iowa at Iowa City.Feb. 22— North Central at Chicago.

Earthquakes,volcanoes, geysers, electrical storms, and rivers arevividly portrayed on the screen in these films, explainedand reduced to scientific phenomena of the great outdoor laboratory of the geologist.So great was the demand to see the new educationalpictures designed for use in the classroom, that twopremiers had to be staged the same evening, under thejoint auspices of the Alumni Council and the Universityof Chicago Press. . . one at 8 in the International Housetheatre, the other at 8:30, Mandel hall. PresidentRobert M. Hutchins and Dr. Croneis spoke to eachaudience, explaining briefly the purpose of the films andthe procedure of the production crew "on location.""While we were making these pictures" said Dr. Croneis,"our star performer obstinately smiled when we wishedher to frown, impishly pulled a long face when wewanted her gay; which is just another way of sayingthat the sea was invariably calm when we planned tofilm storm waves and a veritable deluge usually greetedan attempt to shoot a sunny landscape." This was oneproduction where the director exerted little influence onhis cast.Itineraries of the cameramen were planned at theUniversity and the exact place in the world for eachshot was designated before the shooting started. ErpiPicture Consultants of New York and the National ParkService cooperated with the University on this threeway project. The extraordinary movie staffs employedin making the pictures were geologists, film experts, filmlibrarians, cameramen, National Park executives, CCCboys, and educators. They have titled their productions :The Work of Rivers, Ground Water, the Workof Atmosphere, Geological Work of Ice, MountainBuilding, and Volcanoes in Action.The Work of Rivers records the water erosioncycle in nature. "Running water through geologic ageshas been wearing down the higher land of the earth andtransporting that material oceanwards," says the voiceof the commentator as the film opens. The scenariofollows the rain, falling from storm clouds, and tracesthe creation of gullies, turbulent rivers, waterfalls.Ground Water treats of the reappearance of groundwater in springs, wells and geysers. Artesian wells,springs, water tables, and caves are explained by animated drawings. • By JANE KESNER MORRIS, '32"Moving restlessly over the face of the earth yetalways unseen is one of the most potent agents of gradation" describes The Work of the Atmosphere.This film shows how temperature variations and windsdisintegrate rocks and emphasizes the part that atmosphere plays in transporting vast clouds of dust. IceEroded needles — from the sound film"Atmospheric Gradation"has been another factor in changing the face of theearth and Geological Work of Ice depicts the formation, movements, and effects of glaciers.Gigantic forces are constantly building up theworld's mountain ranges, a phenomenon portrayed inMountain Building. Consideration is given hereto the significance of mountain phenomena to miningand structural engineering. Of all earth's activities,however, the most dramatic are her volcanoes in action.Volcanoes in Action presents active and extinctvolcanoes in many parts of the world, from Vesuviusto Krakatoa. Animation recreates the formation ofa volcano and animated drawings combined withphotography explain the principles of volcanism. Thegeology films have also been viewed by alumni clubsand educational groups in Atlanta and in Washington,D. C. and a showing has been arranged in Cleveland, forDecember 11. This group of motion pictures is in theseries of Physical Science talking pictures inauguratedthree years ago by the University as the most extensiveeducational film project yet undertaken. Six films inphysics and chemistry made under the supervision of Dr.Harvey Brace Lemon and Dr. Hermann I. Schlesinger,have been released earlier and are now in use in manyuniversities, colleges, and high schools. They are : Oxidation and Reduction, Molecular Theory of Matter, Electrostatics, Energy and Its Transformation, Sound Wavesand Their Sources, and Fundamentals of Acoustics.The complete series is planned to include twentyfilms. The later releases will demonstrate astronomyand possibly mathematics.28THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINE 29ALUMNI MEETINGSSalt Lake City: November 18.President Hutchins spoke to onehundred and twelve of the faithfulat a luncheon meeting.

HERE is a priceless gift within reach of everyone — the gift of friendship.Of all the services of the telephone there isnone more important than this — helping you tomake friends and to keep them.When people are in trouble, you go to themquickly by telephone. The telephone carries yourgood wishes on birthdays, weddings and anniversaries. Arranges a golf game or gets a fourth forbridge. Invites a business acquaintance to yourhome for dinner, and advises "home" that he iscoming. Congratulates a youngster on his workat school. Thanks a neighbor or asks about the baby. Renews old times — shares confidences —plans for the future.Thus the bonds of friendship are formed andstrengthened. Greater happiness comes into thewidening circle of your life. Some one, somewhere,says sincerely — "It was nice of them to call."
