Whatsends academicians scurrying to investigate the pages of this compendium of scientists and their contributions, is the selection by vote of alimited number of men distinguishedin the listing by a star after theirnames. To be a starred man ofscience is roughly equivalent to All-America rating in football, and notnearly as transitory. To the University, whose faculty has rated manyof the coveted stars in the past, itwas gratifying to find twelve moreChicago men starred in the latest edition. And so Stephen S.

To the left was a fireplace withhuge andirons of glistening brass. Onthe hearth sat a tremendous Maltese catcalled Christopher, which I, for manymonths because of some curious twist inmy brain, always quite unconsciouslycalled Columbus. Over her study tablepiled with books and papers, was a picture, also quite large for the space,which later I learned was the originalpainting for the frontispiece for one ofher novels. On either side of it was along uncurtained window. Many timesduring the years that I knew her I sawher as I saw her that first time, withthe dark painting as a background butwith light from either side to make herfigure stand out; a small woman withcharming rounded features, mixed blackand white hair parted in the middle falling over her ears and forehead in broadloose waves and knotted elegantly inher neck; in an exquisitely simple, longsleeved, pale plum color dress falling insoft folds, with a large rippling whitelace collar caught with a brooch, anda train just long enough to sweep theground gracefully.So lovely a picture did she make thatI sometimes feel that I can only berecalling a painting and not a reality.Glenola Behling Rose, '13.Penn's Grove, New Jersey.EARLY TENNIS FANMy dear Mr. Hebert :Your article in the last issue of theUniversity of Chicago Magazine entitled "A Clean Sweep in Tennis" wasof particular interest to me. It carriedmy mind back to the early days of tennis at Chicago when, as tennis manager,I arranged and supervised all of thetournaments. After I had graduated,Lon Stagg added this to his other jobs.I suspect that I was the only undergraduate who ever managed a Chicagoathletic team.You speak of Carr B. Neal, incident- : A G A Z I N Eally, as the winner, with William ScottBond, of the doubles championship in1896. Neal was an outstanding playerin his day. For several years he waswestern champion and my recollectionis that he and his brother Sam one yearwon the national doubles championship.Of course, one's memory can be tricky,and it may be that they were only run-ners-up.Carr Neal ranked near the top in thenational tennis field for two or threeyears and was easily the outstandingplayer at Chicago and perhaps of anyAmerican college in his time. He wasa great sportsman, a fine fellow, and histennis playing was all the more noteworthy because he had a very bad kneewhich used to come out occasionallywhen he was playing football so thattime had to be called in order to put itback in place again and bind it securely.Scott Bond easily ranked next to CarrNeal among conference college playersand the two made an unbeatable doublesteam.After I was made manager, I setabout to arrange dual tournaments withsome of the conference colleges, notablyMichigan and Northwestern. I had agood deal of difficulty in persuadingMichigan to meet us in a dual tournament because, as the Michigan managerfrankly said, "We haven't anyone whocan stand up to Bond in the singles, orto Bond and Rand in the doubles, so thatthe winners would be a foregone conclusion." To meet this objection, I suggested that we rank our players in orderof ability to play and have those in thesame rank compete, the college that wona majority of the matches to be the winner of the tournament. Michigan agreedto this proposition, and from readingyour article, I gather that the system inaugurated in 1896, because Scott Bondwas regarded as too formidable a tennisplayer, is still in effect.I have seen George Lott play, although not in college tournaments. Hewas a great player. Probably he wasbetter than Neal, just as athletes of thisgeneration, generally speaking, are better than those of the 1896 vintage. However, I suspect that Carr Neal wouldrank at least next to George Lott amongthe tennis players that have worn themaroon. He was one of the steadiest andmost accurate players I have everknown. I have never seen a man of national reputation lob so much or withsuch deadly precision as Carr Neal. Hewas a great net player, using his wellplaced lobs to get up to the net with hisnone too reliable knee. And he neverknew when he was licked.Among some of the players listed byyou as outstanding, I recognize thenames of several who played on the Uni-¦ versity of Chicago campus in interscho-lastic tournaments. I arranged the firstinterscholastic tournament at Chicago in1896 and followed through with anotherin 1897, the year in which I was graduated. Such tournaments were being heldin the Ea<?t and it occurred to me thatTHE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINE 3imitation would be a fine thing for tennis in the Middle West and that, incidentally, it might attract some of thebest high school and prep players to Chicago.I am glad that Chicago has maintained the fine standing in tennis thatwas won back in the 1890's when Nealand Bond and Rand pioneered in a sportwhich has always appealed to me asbeing one that ranks among the verybest of them all.Harold L. Ickes, '97, JD'07.Department of the Interior,Washington, D. C.HELP! HELP!(A letter received by the Round Table)Allow me to introduce myself as oneof your very intent and conscientiouslisteners (who is avidly desirous of enlightenment) of your Sunday EveningRound Table chats as a youth who visions his coming privilege of an acting;principally of a voting citizen, as amuch bewildered if not an iniquitouslyconfused, American being.We all have, I believe, accompanyingour purpose of living, an urge in affixing our political beliefs and standards toone particular group. — With uncalledfor prejudices — the democrats and republicans, an obvious case of lesser oftwo lasting evils.I am utterly perplexed, as to how toindividualize myself, better still, Ishould say adjusting my yet young andimpressionable economic views to abackground of our present administration.I feel a need of opinions at my stage,a need which I lack and cannot securelypossess or find from text matter or absorb from those braggadocios of politicswho diverge and retard a personal constructive plan to follow in the politicallife — but I sincerely hope you can helpme in that respect.What reading matter would you suggest, if you believe this a proper mediumfor a proper commencement? Howshould I attack so vast a problem ? Whatare the particular ills that are retardingour ascendancy to an equitable progressive level? Shall this nation of peoplesoon see an adjustment of the dominanttroubles, such as employment, and thenebulous deficit? What are the unde-filed obscessions of the republican anddemocratic party, pro and con? Or arethe democratic serums of typhoidal finance used for a proverbial hair growthprosperity ?In your broadcasts and especially thelast I have found very interesting andeasy enough to follow. But I find in thisracetrack of discussion even economistsare subtlely confused. This fact alonefairly explains the inabilities of Congress and the helm-master to cope with problems which I do not believe canever be subordinated politically.I hope you will furnish a poor boywith the sufficient patriotic zeal andtruths of the game — nasty word — to findmyself.With deep respect, and kindly thanks,I beg to subscribe myselfYours trulyBernard H. Badgley.Cohoes, New York.A FRESHMAN WRITESDear Mr. Hutchins:I came to the University after fouryears of high school still seeking forfacts as a means to education; after onemonth I was seeking for ideas. I camewith the belief that my text book shouldthink for me, not me along with it; during this past year I have gained just aninkling as to how to think for myself. Icame rather cloistered in thought, having been directed in my former schooling towards reading just the "right"j things ; here I have been really "exposed" to an education and have beenallowed to read, study, and deal effectively with all manners and types ofthinking.And as for the results ... I do notthink that they have been too disastrous.I have not become a . communist, anarchist, socialist, or fascist as I had beenwarned I would if I came to this Uni versity. Moreover, I believe that I haveacquired the potentialities of a "thinking" democrat.In other words I should like to express my appreciation as an undergraduate for the "New" Plan under which Ihave worked for the past year and hopethat it shall continue to spread throughout the educational world in futureyears.

VISHER, '09, Ph.D. "14changes in the scientific strength of the universities.Harvard still leads, partly because "every scientific institution in the vicinity of Boston except the MassachusettsInstitute of Technology is a part of Harvard." But nowChicago is not far behind, instead of having only abouthalf Harvard's scientific strength, as in 1903. Severalwestern universities are gaining rapidly. Indeed, therace is quite exciting to those actively interested in scientific research.Of the 250 men first starred in 1933, nine universities had eight or more on their staff. (Harvard 16,California 15, Chicago 13, Yale 13, Michigan 11, Prince- • By STEPHEN S. VISHER, '09, PhD '14ton 10. Minnesota 9, Illinois and Hopkins 8). Of the250 men just starred (1938), eight universities haveeight or more, namely Harvard 17, Chicago 12, California Institute of Technology 11^, Princeton 11, JohnsHopkins 9, Columbia and Michigan each 8. Californiahas 8 at Berkeley, one at Los Angeles. Yale, Cornell,Stanford and Illinois each has 6, Minnesota 5, andNorthwestern and Rutgers 4, Wisconsin, Ohio, Iowaand Rochester each has 3.The table published in the 1934 article covering thenumber of faculty members first starred in 1921, 1927or 1933 can now be extended to include 1938, andsummed up. This extended table (not published here)shows that of these "starred" scientists Harvard had atotal of 75. the University of Chicago had 53, Universityof California 40, Columbia University 37, Johns Hopkins 36, Yale, Princeton, and U. of Michigan 34, Cornell 29, University of Minnesota 28, University of Illinois 27, Stanford 26, University of Pennsylvania 23,California Institute of Technology 20, MassachusettsInstitute of Technology 19, University of Wisconsin 18,Ohio State University 15, Washington (St. Louis)University 14, University of Iowa 11, and Northwestern University 10.The reason why the table just summed up is not published here is that a more illuminating one in the samegeneral field has been prepared (Table I).Table I shows how many starred scientists (of eachof the last four starrings, 1921, 1927, 1933 and 1938)were on the faculties of the leading universities thisspring, 1938. It differs from Table I of the earlier article not only in including 1938 but because throughdeath or resignation, the present totals are less in mostinstitutions than the sum of the various groups dealtwith in the earlier table. For example, while Harvard'stotal was 75, it now has 68, and Hopkins has 30 insteadof 36.Although as teachers, and also for research, theyounger men presumably are on the average the morevaluable, nevertheless many of those starred in 1921 arestill effective workers. Most of the men first starredii 1903 or 1909 are now dead or retired.Universities and colleges with from 4 to 13 scientistsstarred in 1921 to 1938 on their faculties early in 1938,with the number at each are : Brown 8, Cincinnati 6,THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINEDuke 5, George Washington 4, Iowa 8, Iowa State College 5, Kansas 5, New York University 7, North Carolina 6, Northwestern 12, Ohio 13, Rochester 10, Rutgers4, St. Louis 4, Swarthmore 5, Texas 6y2, Virginia 6,Washington (St. Louis) 9>4, Wesleyan 4.Table IStarred Scientists Now at Leading UniversitiesNumber of those starred in the year indicatedName 1921 1927 1933 1938 TotalCalifornia ........... 8 7 14 10 39Calif.

The following had two each : Arizona, College of the City of New York, Colorado College, Connecticut State, Rice, Trinity and Vanderbilt.Starred AlumniAlthough a university is distinguished from a college,as Vice-President Benton has effectively pointed out, inits interest in research, in contrast to instruction, nevertheless a major factor in the increase of knowledge is thetraining of men who can carry on. This training ordinarily is divided into two stages, the undergraduate, and.the training for the doctorate. In recent years a thirdtype is becoming important, the post-doctoral; indeedabout a fourth of the newly starred men held post-doctoral fellowships.The 250 recently starred scientists received their undergraduate training in a total of about 155 colleges.Only one man states that he did not attend college, although several with advanced degrees do not tell wheretheir bachelor's degree was obtained. Only nine institutions conferred the bachelor's degree upon four ormore who tell where they obtained it, namely Harvardon 14, California and Michigan on 10, Chicago on 9,Princeton on 6, Yale and Cornell on 5, MassachusettsTech. and Pennsylvania on 4 each ; the following teninstitutions on 3 each : Amherst, Brown, Columbia, Hopkins, Illinois, Minnesota, Missouri, Stanford, and Washington (Seattle).

This table shows that in the doctoral training of scientists who subsequently became leaders in research thatChicago stands just behind Harvard with a total of 122compared with 125 ; third is Columbia, then follow Hopkins, Yale, California, Cornell and Princeton.Departmental RatingsF .. .Some readers of the Magazine will be interested in asummary of the comparative strength of various scientific departments of the University, so far as it is revealed by the number of recently starred men who received the doctorate some 10 to 30 years ago.Anatomy: No university surpasses Chicago in thenumber of recipients of the doctorate who were starredin 1927, 1933 or 1938.Astronomy: In the number of doctors starred inastronomy in 1927-1938, the rank is California (8),Chicago (5) and Princeton (3).Botany: Chicago has stood first consistently 1927-1938, with a total of 15 as compared to 9 for Harvard,7 for Hopkins, 6. for Columbia, 5 for Cornell.Chemistry: For the 1938 starring, Chicago was surpassed only by California in the number of chemistrydoctorates who were starred ; for 1921-1938 combined,Chicago with 17 surpassed California (15), but fellslightly behind Harvard (18) ; Columbia had 11, Hopkins 9, Yale and Illinois 8, Princeton, Cornell and Pennsylvania 7.Geology: Yale and Chicago tied for first place in 1933and 1938, Yale was ahead in 1927, Chicago in 1921 ; California also tied in 1938, and Harvard in 1933. For1921-1938, Yale had 20, Chicago 18, Harvard 9, California 8, Hopkins 7, Columbia 6, and Cornell 4 ; noother had more than one.Mathematics: Leadership in the advanced training ofmathematics is held by Harvard (16), and Chicago (15)for the period 1921-1938. Seven of Princeton's doctorshave been starred in this period, 4 of Columbia's and 3of Cornell's. No other had more than one.Pathology: Hopkins leads in pathology with 11 for1927-1938; Columbia and Harvard have 8, Chicago 4,no other more than one.(Continued on Page 20)Elvey, Prof. C(hristian) T(homas), McDonald Observatory, Ft.

Our national culture is aptto run to large buildings, highwaysand dams. Such solid materia become "symbols of progress" andnotch curious semantic patterns inthe minds of politicians, plumbers andprofessors. These notches, in turn,make themselves manifest by majormodifications in our erstwhile beautiful landscape. Powerlines, ribbonsof cement and gargantuan structuressprout across the continent, evokingconquistadoral emotions in our twentieth century breasts. An analysisas to their extramundane value isseldom undertaken. Under thesecircutastances, state governmentsseeking to aid education, are morewilling to provide funds for buildings than for their equipment, andare inclined to be parsimonious instipendiary disbursements. Politicians often pointing with pride toedifices alleged to house a universitytoo often fail to view with alarm thedisquieting fact that the buildingssometimes hold little else than air.As I made my overnight journeyacross the corn fields I was unawareof such things, but I became conscious of them as I made my round of inspection.Our tour started. The physical plant was correctlydescribed in the catalogue. It was modern, roomy andairy. There was a fine operating room for mammaliansurgery but no sterilizer. The animal quarters wereample but suspiciously clean. The lack of odor wasdisturbing to a physiologist accustomed to Chicago'smotley assortment of underprivileged hounds. In replyto my remark upon the immaculate condition of the animal rooms I was told that except for a few rabbits theyhad been unoccupied for years. The frog tank was evidently conceived in conspiracy with the cement trust.Gigantic and capable of holding half a dozen full grownalligators, to remove it later required Federal Aid. Thespace cleared proved large enough to accommodate ourentire rat colony of several hundred. Through a carefully locked door I was conducted to an inner sanctumA. R. MclNTYRE, '27, PhD '30, MD '31The fifth prize winner in the ManuscriptContest is a Londoner by birth, a staunchalumnus of the University. Anticipating theChicago plan, he took three degrees in sixyears and within nine years of the time he arrived on the campus became Professor andChairman of the Department of Physiology andPharmacology at the University of Nebraska'sCollege of Medicine in Omaha. Building adepartment should be easy for Dr. Mclntyre,who, to defray expenses at Chicago literallybuilt the south side medical school. For onesummer he wheeled tons of roofing materialand cement in a wheelbarrow during the construction of the medical buildings. His wifeis Dr. Margaret Day, PhD '33.By A. R. Mc INTYRE, "27, PhD '30, MD "31where apparatus for research waskept. I beheld a Cambridge electrocardiograph swathed in muslin bandages, a rusty bicycle ergometer, and,of all things, a Wimshurst machine.Through another door I was showna battered kymograph, sans motor,and an artificial respiration machineconstructed by a Brobdingnagian.This sheitan-sired contraption required the combined energy derivedfrom a two horse power motor andall the B.T.U.'s liberated by my nonetoo limited vocabulary to run it. Itsupplied enough air for four smallrabbits and was as noisy as a herdof dancing elephants.Those concerned were painfullyaware of the dormant state of affairs.It did not reflect the spirit of the institution as a whole or the medicalcollege in particular. It had grownslowly from a variety of causes difficult of correction. Not the least ofwhich were depression and drought.Impoverished farmers could not beblamed for looking askance at theseemingly enormous expense ofmaintaining a university. Businessmen, rather characteristically took amyopic view, and were enthusiasticfor what was euphoniously termedretrenchment. The appropriation wascut to the point where expenses forrepairs were difficult to meet, thepurchase of new equipment impossible.After some hesitation I decided to see what could bedone. It was paramount to repair the apparatus wehad and to make the more essential articles we lacked.A workshop was a necessity. Luckily the departmentpossessed a serviceable lathe, albeit, set up so as to runin one direction only. My early training in engineeringbecame an unlooked for asset, and soon with the latherunning correctly I had the elderly diener talking ofcollets, arbors, knurling tools, and milling cutters likea veteran mechanic. He proved extremely adaptable andin a short time was turning out quite creditable apparatus. The first year was something of a nightmare.The only room available for student mammalian workwas provided with benches designed for alchemy. Theirsoapstone verdantique tops measured six feet by twelve.The diener and I removed their superstructures andattacked their archaic plumbing with pipe wrenches and10THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINE 11hacksaws, then with the help of the class we lugged themaway.At- this time the department acquired the services ofseveral students, some from little farming communities.These assistants had tremendous energy and no slightcapability. They worked night and day and besideshelping with everything from teaching to glassblowingturned out several papers. These papers are historic.Not so much for what they contain as whence theycame. They are remarkable too for the fact that all themajor pieces of apparatus, including a centrifuge, wereeither constructed or re-constructed in the department.Things began to brighten the second year when I wasjoined by another Chicagoan. We had been in medicalschool together, and he too delighted in making apparatus most of the night after teaching during the day.We decided to equip ourselves with all essentials. Wemade two large kymographs, two Warburg-Barcrofttissue respiration machines, an artificial respirationpump, a hydrogen ion meter, a constant temperatureoven, two chronographs, an incubator, twrenty sphygmomanometers and enough dog boards and ether bottles andother paraphernalia for the students laboratory work.Sometimes when over tired we were half inclined tocurse ourselves for fools, but the improvement in thework and the attitude of the students more than compensated us for our trouble. My new associate's cooperativespirit and power of constructive criticism made him anideal fellow worker. His only fault is a pathetic obstinacy in attempting to play golf at which game he is solamentably feeble that on occasion I beat him.At the end of the second year another Chicagoanbecame attached to the department. His real interestin life is the application of physics to medicine. Eversince his Ryerson days, refraction gratings, electrometers, absorption spectra, spectroscopes and cathoderays limn delicate nuances on his more latterly acquiredgestalten. His training in physics and my early experiences in engineering form a basis for mutual comprehension. Unfortunately for science he is forced to earnmost of his livelihood in the practice of medicine.Between times he does a prodigious amount of work.His most cherished piece of equipment is a HilgarSpectroscope and camera. He made his own hydrogentube for it. His genius extends to cathode ray electrocardiographs, cataphoresis chambers and lately electroencephalographs. Typically he will lurch into my officeand launch a plan for what he terms "a major appliance."For the next few months he is intellectually inaccessibleunless one holds the key to his preoccupation. Finallyhe re-emerges with a splendid piece of equipment. When,rarely, he exhibits some triumph of his invention to afavored -visitor he will say, half apologetically, "Here issomething we cooked up."By this time the type of activity in the laboratory hadbegun to change. It was.no longer our dominant taskto make tools but to use them. We found somewhatunexpectedly it was occasionally necessary to curb enthusiasm for the manufacture of somewhat unnecessarygadgets, and to direct energies in more useful directions.In this we were helped in no small degree by a surgeon. A graduate of Harvard Medical School, he later obtainedadvanced training at the University of Chicago Clinics.He cares little for the making of implements but workstirelessly in his spare hours at experimental surgery.He has a highly developed physiological view of surgicalproblems. A surgeon by day and an experimenter bynight he keeps the mammalian operating room lightsburning long and late. Increasing funds have provideda sterilizer for the once unusable operating room.The animal quarters now7 smell just right. In addition to dogs and cats, guinea pigs and rabbits, we haveseveral promising young goats. They are economicalanimals for a department to keep. They thrive verywell on a diet of doors, generously contributed by thebuildings and grounds department. These kids havecaused considerable stir at times. Our surgeon, whowas studying the rate of growth of bone in young animals, required some Roentgenograms of their" epiphyses.Tucking a kid under each arm he sauntered over to theradiology department in the hospital. The superintendent of nursing was somewhat displeased. It seemsshe was under the mistaken impression that kids smell.Whereas adult goats are said by some to emit an odorpeculiar to their species the kids were entirely innocent.The indefatigable surgeon is a forceful person and theX-rays were taken. For those who know hospitals thiswill testify to great strength of character.It must not be thought that all the experimental workin the department is carried by the four Chicagoans.This is not so. There are several first rate students fromlocal territory one of whom has had much experience atHopkins. It is true we haze him a little but he goodnaturedly attributes our sallies to a defense mechanismand goes his way patiently making innumerable bloodcounts on his anemic rabbits.But this account of material accomplishment is not theessence of that which I wish to convey. Other laboratories have faced curtailment of funds, have built equipment ; other workers have labored through the nightsand carried a heavy teaching load. The thing I wish totell is much more difficult to> describe. It is intangiblebut I suspect more enduring than the seeming permanence of hard unyielding machinery. It is of greatersignificance in our triumphs over difficulties. Born ofa common experience in training it is a spirit of comradeship. We meet our common task seeing eye to eye,aware of our objective. An objective never defined buttacitly understood, A contentment in our chronic dissatisfaction with results. A restless, unceasing drivealong the asymptotic approach to perfection. Perhapsnone of us will shake the world by a discovery of firstrate importance, more likely the experiments to whichwe now attach most importance will prove sometime tobe of small value. But of this we are very sure, ouryounger workers, men from the little towns strewnacross the windswept plains, begin to share this fellowfeeling. They begin to show a healthy skepticism oftheir own work and a critical unprejudiced appraisement of the work of others. And, supreme compliment,they spend their summers at Chicago.NATHAN C PLIMPTON RETIRES;H. C. Daines Appointed ComptrollerNATHAN C. PLIMPTONFEW administrative officers of the University havedevoted as much time and interest to the problemsof the alumni body as has Nathan C. Plimpton,Comptroller, who retired in July after 37 years of service. Since the time twenty years ago when he set up theaccounting system of the Alumni Council, he has beennot only generous with his advice, but has repeatedlygiven liberally in making the annual audits.The Board of Trustees, in adopting a resolution ofappreciation of Mr. Plimpton's services, said :". . . Antedating in serviceall the other officers and allbut one of the trustees, hehas spent most of his life, anda still larger part of the University's life, in the accounting work of the institution.As chief accountant, assistant auditor, auditor andcomptroller, he has been for37 years a tireless guardianof the University's funds.Precise data have alwaysbeen instantly available fromhim, and his accuracy anddependability have become a tradition with us. Hisannual reports in their clarity and completeness are ahistorical record of distinction in themselves. His studyof the problems of academic accounting has made himan authority in that field . . ."His service, however, has not been one of mere technical competence, outstanding as that has been. He hasnever for a moment lost sight of the fact that it was aneducational institution that he served. His conceptionof a university has been lofty. Devotion to that conception has lifted his work far above the plane of account1ing functions. He has, with his intelligent comprehensionof the functions of the institution, with his zeal and hisvision, made a genuine contribution to the welfare ofthe University, and we desire hereby to make a record,however inadequate, of our sense of the debt the University will always owe him."In the June-July issue of Educational Business isquoted the tribute of Trevor Arnett, '98, Universityauditor when Mr. Plimpton began his career at the University and now a member of the Board of Trustees.Mr. Arnett writes :"I well remember the' day in 1901 that I first metNathan Cope Plimpton. I had recently been appointedto the newly created office of Auditor of the Universityof Chicago, and needed an efficient assistant. He- hadbeen recommended as a candidate, described as a youngman of excellent character; intelligent, honest, reliable,and very conscientious. An illustration of the last traitwas given. He was employed in the commissary department of a large railway and was offered a promotion atnearly twice the salary he was receiving, but upon learn ing that one of the new duties required him to stock thedining cars with wines and liquors, he declined. Hisconvictions regarding the demoralizing effects of drinkwere so strong that he could not even in a remote wayhelp anyone to secure it. I learned from later association with him that the description given was true,especially his uncompromising attitude toward what heconsidered to be right or wrong. I was satisfied withthe interview and at once engaged him."His coming to the University of Chicago was one ofthose fortunate events which occasionally happen to aninstitution. He proved to be the man for the place. TheUniversity was not yet ten years old, and was going-through the pains incident to youth, felt especially inits system of accounting. College accounting was at alow ebb in other institutions as well, but at Chicago itwas aggravated because well-meaning and honest menin charge of its accounts, did not realize that methodsapplicable to industrial and banking organizations didnot fit university accounting."Our task was to bring order out of confusion. Notonly was it necessary to devise and operate a system forthe rapidly expanding institution, but also to analyze andclassify records of the previous years. Problems ofaccounting were constantly arising at the University ofChicago as a result of the addition of new schools andundertakings. These problems acted as a stimulus toNathan Plimpton, and he never slackened his effortsuntil the right solutions were found."The results achieved in a comparatively short timewere due in large measure to the skill and indefatigableenergy of Mr. Plimpton. He has a clear conception ofthe fundamental principles and philosophy of universityfinance and a genius for making reports understandableto accountant and layman alike. Also, he is one of thefew persons who does not need to make excuses fornon-fulfillment of promises."With such ability and experience it was natural thatthe trustees should appoint him my successor when Iwas called to New York as a member and officer of theGeneral Education Board. He brought to his task wisdom and knowledge matured by long experience, and hasfilled the office with distinction. He has maintained andenhanced its reputation, and as a result has frequentlybeen asked to help other institutions reorganize theirsystems."The welfare of the University of Chicago is his consuming passion, and to it he has devoted nearly fortyyears. He has always been a true friend to its facultyand staff. Now that he reaches the age of retirementwe wish him many years of happiness, free from careand responsibility, and express the hope that the fruitsof his experience will still be available to us as it hasbeen so generously in the past."Harvey C. Daines, AM '26, for nine years assistantcomptroller, succeeds Mr. Plimpton.12IN MY OPINIONBy FRED B. MILLETT, PhD'31, Visiting Professor of English, Wesleyan UniversityWE ARE all born critics. No experience impinges at all heavily upon our consciousnesswithout our passing upon it a judgment as toits excellence, mediocrity, or vileness. Food, clothes,the weather, automobiles, poems, and theologies, all inturn, are the objects of our critical approbation or disapprobation. The breadth or narrowness, the intensity of superficiality, ofour personal interests conditions ourcritical judgments, but fools rush inwhere critics fear to tread, and whatever is novel in food or architectureor unfamiliar in raiment or poetry isbound to run the gamut of unreasoned and uninformed judgments.But though we are all born critics,vve are not all born good critics.Whether we are good critics or notdepends on a number of interactiveelements, no one of which can be ignored or eliminated. Fundamental togood criticism is experience, and theexperience I have in mind is experience, not only of the field to whichthe object criticized belongs, but of life, of men andmanners, of ideas and forms. Furthermore, experience,whether of life or of art, must have operated upon agroundwork of unusual sensitivity, not so extreme asto be idiosyncratic or neurasthenic but acute and, fundamentally, normal. We shall not expect sound criticismof water-colors from the color-blind or of symphonicmusic from the tone-deaf. Moreover, experience operating on the groundwork of sensitivity must have flowered in tolerance, an aesthetico-ethical plasticity thatwill not cut the critic off from values alien or hostile tohis personal view of life. For it is not enough to saythat, to the critic, nothing human is alien. We must beable to say of him that he finds nothing imaginativelyor ideationally alien in the superhuman or the subhuman. But- the congeries of sensitivity, experience, andtolerance is incomplete without the controlling factor oftaste, an innate or an acquired power of discriminationbetween the mediocre and the superior, the merely goodand the excellent, the great and the supreme.Taste may operate with or without the assistance ofcritical analysis. The person who contents himself withthe assertion, "I don't know anything about art, but Iknow what I like," may or may not be a person of taste ;he is very likely to be a person of very bad taste, and,therefore, destined for one of the lower circles of theaesthetic Inferno. For the lover of the arts it may beenough to discover and distinguish those works thatnourish his private spirit, but the operation of unreasoned taste limits the critical judgment to the realm ofthe merely appreciative. The man of taste will not be-FRED B. MILLETTcome a critic, on either the personal or the impersonallevel, until he checks the operation of his taste by theprocess of critical analysis. He will begin to be a criticonly .when he attempts to discover the reasons for hisjudgment. He will become a critic only when he hastrained himself in the process of critical analysis. With-_^^^ out critical analysis he limits himselfwilfully to the realm of the merelypersonal, to the restrictions of his ownembryonic critical personality; hetends to identify his unreasoned preferences in aesthetics and morals withsignificant critical judgments.For the person who would escapeas far as possible from the bondage ofhis temperament and the operation ofhis unreasoned taste, two methods ofcritical analysis are open. The first ofthese ways is the more traditionaland reputable. It is the way of thecritic who starts with critical principles and who devotes himself to applying them to the particular worksunder scrutiny. Of the major typesof critical principles developed by European critics wemay distinguish three as fundamental : the classical, theromantic, and the realistic. Towards these sets of critical principles critics have tended to assume one of twoattitudes. They have assumed that one of these setsof principles is always and indubitably superior to theother two, and that, consequently, the literature thatconforms to this one set of principles is always andeverywhere superior to literature that does not conform.Or they have assumed that each of the sets of principlesis on a parity with the other sets, and that each of thesesets is appropriate to the analysis and evaluation of certain works of art, and almost entirely inappropriate tothe analysis and evaluation of other works of art. Thefirst assumption necessitates the judging of all works ofart by the same set of critical principles; the secondnecessitates the judging of each work of art by the setof principles most appropriate to it. The advantage inherent in the first procedure is that one's judgmentscome as close as possible to the final and absolute. Thedisadvantage appears, not merely in the dogmatic absolutism of the judgments, but in the basic absurdity ofapplying, for example, the criteria of classicism to such anaturalistic work as An American Tragedy or thecriteria of realism to so classical a work as Oedipus Rex.But an escape from the solipsism of the merely individual judgment can be made by means less question-begging than that described above. Works of art maybe evaluated, and evaluated satisfactorily, in terms, notof question-begging principles, but of other works ofart. Such a procedure, as a matter of fact, is the1314 THE UNIVERSITY OFone which we naturally and constantly pursue. If weread a novel, or see a moving picture or a play, weevaluate it as good, bad, or indifferent in terms of worksof art analogous to that under scrutiny. This naturaland unconscious method of classification, comparison,and judgment needs only to be made conscious and systematic in order to produce valuable and dependableresults. The assumption underlying this method is thata work of art is good or bad, not in the proportion towhich it conforms or fails to conform with one or another set of critical principles, but in relation to otherworks of art with which it may sensibly be compared.One apple may be judged as better or worse than anotherapple, but not as better or worse than a steak. Similarly, Crime and Punishment may be judged as better orworse than The Brothers Karamazov, but not as betteror worse than Antigone or Romeo and Juliet.In other words, if we are to evaluate works of art interms of other works of art and not in terms of sets ofcritical principles, we must first assign the work of artto be evaluated to its proper category. Of such categories there are a number of types to be distinguished.To begin with the simplest, it would be sensible and appropriate to attempt to evaluate a work of art in termsof the most sharply differentiated genre to which it canbe assigned. It might be illuminating to attempt theevaluation of a drama in terms of any other drama ofany other author of any other period, but it is likely tobe more profitable and more conclusive to evaluate adrama in terms of other dramas of the type to which itbelongs, whether comic or tragic, whether classical, romantic, or realistic. The field of inquiry may furtherbe narrowed by restricting our elements for comparisonand evaluation to works of a similar type by the sameauthor or to works of the same type by authors of thesame period. Profitable evaluation of a work of art interms of other works of art is likely to result only whenwe have simplified our problem by limiting the frame ofreference to one or more of the restrictive categories ofgenre, mode, period, and author.1The procedure I am recommending is no more than asystematization of the one we all follow unsystematically.If we are devotees of Conrad or James, of Ernest Hemingway or Kay Boyle, we decide for ourselves, by a process of rejection and acceptance, which of the novels ofone or another of these novelists are superior to othernovels by the same author. Moreover, we shall probably feel fairly sure that we can distinguish, even amonga man's superior novels, that which we regard criticallyas the best. It will not occur to us to attempt to evaluate A Farewell to Arms in terms of Mr. Britling SeesIt Through, despite the fact that these novels are bothwar novels. Nor shall we deem it profitable to wasteour time evaluating, in terms of each other, Hofmann-i-Once the frame of reference is limited to works of the same genrewithin a particular period, the critic — knowingly or unknowingly — is embarked upon historical criticism. Thus, if he attempts to> evaluate Donnein terms of seventeenth-century metaphysical poetry, his results willbelong to the field of historical criticism. If, however, he attempts todiscover what the seventeenth century thought of Donne or Cowley, he isoperating — whether or not he realizes it — not in historical criticism, butin the history of criticism. If he attempts to estimate Spenser or Miltonin a frame work that is not chronological but in terms of the epic genregenerally, he is practicing, not historical, but aesthetic criticism. It wouldbe well if writers of literary history observed these distinctions. Mostcritical observations to be found in literary histories waver unsteadilybetween the historical and the aesthetic, between historical criticism andnotes on the history of criticism or the history of taste. CHICAGO MAGAZINEsthal's Electro and Aeschylus's Choephro, despite thefact that both plays are tragedies and both plays arebased upon the same legend. In this instance, the modesto which the tragedies belong — the decadent romanticand the classical — are too remote from each other to permit of profitable comparison and evaluation.But neither the deductive nor the inductive method ofcriticism can be depended on to produce valuable ordurable results unless the judgment is based on themost searching analysis of the works in question. Suchan analysis is quintessential, whether our frame ofreference be set of critical principles or a literarygenre. From the author's point of view the goal ofsuch an analysis is the complete communication of thevalues which he attempted to embody in his work. Fromthe point of view of the critic the object of such ananalysis is the complete understanding or comprehension of all the values implicit in the work of art. Suchan analysis must concern itself with both the contentand the form of the work of art. Analysis of the content involves, not merely a sympathetic and responsiveexperience of the action, characters, emotions, and ideasin the work of art, but also a tolerant discrimination ofthe soundness and wholeness of the experience represented. In some instances, such as War and Peace, thevalue of breadth will compensate for a lack of intensity.In. other instances, such as Crime and Punishment orRemembrance oj Things Past, intensity may compensate for lack of breadth. In such writers as Poe andBaudelaire the powerful rendition of morbidity may offset the absence of psychological normality. The properexperiencing of some works of art is extremely difficultbecause the emotions and ideas implicit in them destroyour emotional equilibrium, affront our moral and ethical codes, and attack our philosophies. But the goodcritic will have trained himself in the imaginative tolerance of emotions, ideas, and philosophies alien and possibly repellent to him.2The analysis of the technical values in works of art isfar easier than the analysis of the content- values. Forthis reason most schoolteachers and many critics are reluctant to advance beyond the limits of technical investigation. For this reason, too, methods of technicalanalysis have been pretty well established, althoughstyle and taste operate in this field as in any other. Essentially, technique is a matter of form and style, and, ineach of the genres and in each mode of each genre, different types of form and style present themselves foranalysis. Methods for the analysis of the forms ofpoems, plays, and novels are fairly familiar, and a methodfor the analysis of poetic style is not difficult to agreeon.3 But the phenomena of prose style have provedupon investigation to be so extremely complicated thatonly the most tentative judgments can be made withregard to this aspect of technique.Whether we practice the deductive or the inductivemethod of criticism, we can agree, I believe, on some ofthe demands to make upon ourselves and others in our(Continued on Page 17)3In the Anril and May issues of the Magazine I set forth my conception of the proper critical procedure with regard to beliefs and doctrinesin works of art.. .3In the January issue of the Magazine I pointed out the major problems involved in the analysis of the technique of poetry.U. OF C '37— A RETROSPECTIONHonorable Mention in Manuscript ContestG IV EN an immediate impetusby the Tyroler-Miller wranglein the January Magazine,1this paper has a more solid foundation. It arises from a heartfelt desireto explain for the benefit of thosewho are wondering if the Universityis a good place for alumni children,or for any other children, what theUniversity of Chicago means to anaverage graduate of the Midway institution.Most official interpretations of theschool, whether pro or con, have beenmade by theorists who have knownwhereof they speak but who at besthave not undertaken to get a Bachelor of Arts degree from that schoolwhose virtues they extol and whosedefects they exaggerate.True, Chicago graduates of theNew Plan era have vented theiropinion. I guarantee, however, thatmy position among those who haveseen fit to express themselves isunique. I was not a Phi Beta Kappastudent. I failed to earn a varsityletter. I was not even editor of TheDaily Maroon. My sole claim to fameseems to rest in the fact that, in thesedays of cramming four years' education into a fraction of the time, Ireceived a degree only after four full years of work.Albeit at the risk of over-using the first-person-singular pronoun, it is well to explain that my kind will beparalleled hundreds of times by in-coming freshmen inthe years to come. Reasonably high of I. Q. (127),high of academic standing (salutatorian in a class of90), and interested in sports and extra-curricular activities (letter in football, success in instrumental musicand dramatics, editor of newspaper) I was the type whoma high school principal would recommend highly to evena good university. Mark you well then, seniors andparents of high school seniors, what can happen to ahigh school king-pin.In college I was no academic giant. Gratified by afew A's, satisfied with B's, and by no means horrifiedat the generous sprinkling of C's in my four-year report,my classification in the bell-shaped frequency curve isonly a little to the good of the clapper-supporting peakwhich spells mediocrity. My extra-curricular participation was not imposing. First chair trombonist in theUniversity band as a freshman, reporter on the Maroonfor two years — a fade-out indicating cessation.1T. S. Miller and Charles Tyroler 2nd: "Is the University a Good Placefor Alumni Children?" JACK BRACKEN, '37Upon graduation Jack Bracken stepped intothe position of assistant to the Registrar andmember of the Social Science department atCranbrook School, Bloomfield Hills, Michigan.To keep up the family tradition, he is working towards a Masters degree in social sciences. (His father, who received his AMfrom Chicago in 1922, is superintendent ofschools in Clayton, Missouri.) • By JACK BRACKEN, '37How then does an average graduate of the University of Chicago regard his Alma Mater? The deepestfeeling this one has is that, despitehis mediocre showing, the Universityis nevertheless the school offeringthe greatest of opportunities to himwho will but grasp them. And then,as this "deepest feeling" merges intothoughts of the past, he begins torealize in what ways he might haveimproved his college education hadhe but been given foresight as afreshman.Opinions of the University of Chicago as a college vary between twoextremes. Many people say withoutreservation that it is the second bestUniversity in the country. And theypoint with pride to the issue of theAtlantic Monthly2 in which the University of Chicago is rated secondonly to Harvard. I do not disputethis rating. But I do dispute an interpretation of it which suggests that,because of this rating, Chicago is thebest school west of Cambridge for anundergraduate to attend. The Atlanticrating was based on a classificationof the departments, including workdone in graduate fields. Even if theundergraduate organization of theUniversity were dispensed with, Chicago's relative position in the Atlantic classification would be no different.But the vituperative criticism of Chicago as a collegefor undergraduates is equally misleading. This criticismfalls mainly into two categories. Some disparage thetheory of education, which tends to emphasize thinkingover mere parrotry. And secondly, critics lament theapparent scarcity of student life at the University ofChicago.The most recent protagonist of "the great fear for thefuture of the University of Chicago,"3 which accordingto him is increasingly immersing its students in concentrated solutions of Aristotle, Plato, and Aquinas withconsequent harm to the time allowance for "paying"subjects, views with alarm the economic destiny offuture U. of C. graduates. The fear, I believe, isunfounded. So long as the University possesses thosedepartments common to other universities, the undergraduate will be offered courses which have "economicvalue" in the accepted sense of the term. A boy enrolling within the next few decades with the desire to take2 Edwin R. Embree: "In Order of Their Eminence; An Appraisal ofAmerican Universities," Atlantic Monthly, June, 1935.3T. S. Miller.1516 THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINEa course in economics in preparation for a career ofbanking or business, will receive courses in banking andmoney, economic history, accounting and statistics, economic theory, international relations, and labor problems.And if he enters even the Law School, which alreadyis under the sinister influence of what has been calledthe Hutchins "retreat to the Middle Ages," he willenroll in courses in common law, torts, pleading (all ofwhich are taught by the accepted case method, withHarvard as a worthy precedent). The retreat to theMiddle Ages would, in this case, merely imply that thestudent realize, through courses in the philosophy of law,economics, and political science, that a fundamental understanding of the law is attained through more thanmerely a thorough study of ad hoc cases. Other departments, I hazard to say, will keep their fundamentalorganization ; but they will be enriched. And, discounting the head-start some Eastern school graduates mayhave in their economic status, the Chicago graduate willkeep up with the Joneses, the Yalers, and the Prince-tonians. Some students, granted, may find it moreworth their while to devote all their academic time tothe study of philosophy. Some may even trek out toCalifornia to seek pure reason in some shack. But Ihesitate to suggest that it is to the disadvantage of thatstudent who finds that there are open to him avenuesof life more satisfying than playing the title role inWilliam A. White's A Certain Rich Man.The second criticism of the University of Chicago isone which appeals more to the judging eye of the highschool students who, aside from hearing vaguely ofsome kind of Platonic love, have had little intellectualassociation with the sages of the Greek city states. Theyseek something in their four years of college life besidesbooks, even if they are intelligent enough to realize thatthe academic aspect of college is a major one. As muchas anything else, they look for a good football team.If they come to Chicago, they will see on the gridirona team of true amateurs, who are playing for the schooland the love of sport rather than for a moneyed interest.And even in these days when the Maroons are out-professionaled by opponents, they will see approximaterepetitions of the 1937 performance when, with elevenmen plus two reserves, the team held a 12-point advantage until the last minutes of play against a heavier teamwhich put more than twenty-five men on the field duringthe sixty minutes of action.These high school seniors will also expect collegespirit. The word itself is nebulous in meaning. And the1920's version of it assumes raccoon coats, plentifuldances, and abundant activities. The raccoon coats,indubitably to the advantage of living raccoons, havegone the way of all fashion. The dances do, and will,remain. Fraternities and dormitories are the hub ofthe social life. Busy dance seasons are climaxed by theInter-Fraternity Ball and Washington Prom, both ofwhich boast as their hosts leading dance orchestras inthe country. Activities abound. Journalistic openingsare varied. The Daily Maroon is more than a meredispenser of news. The full gamut of literary endeavor,from the liberal rag to the humor mag, attracts theperson penchant to the pen. Debaters even compete, by remote control, with the Oxford University forensicclub. Dramatic organizations present plays of the firstwater. The University symphony orchestra is a worthymusical representative of the school.The critique thus far indicates Chicago as a good placeto send one's boy or girl as regards the extra-academicpursuits. But the University is blessed with a happycombination of features that distinguishes it from therun-of-the-mill college or university.Freedom in education is a by-word at Chicago. Thisfreedom has two components; namely, the lack of timeor place regulation and freedom of thought and opinionNon-compulsory class attendance, the taking of examinations when prepared, the student's own regulation ofhis speed of absorption of material covered: all theseare aspects of a rising realization that the student ofuniversity maturity knows what he wants and will getit best and most thoroughly if left free. But this freedomhas more than a mere time-space connotation. Studentsare encouraged, if not actually to disagree with the professors, to know why they agree with them. Professorsdisagree openly with the President of the University.The President can be equally caustic in his belittlingof the mentality of professors on specific points. Theatmosphere of the campus is intellectually stimulatingand is not conducive to a spirit of passivity and docile.reception of ideas on the part of the students.But freedom itself, while indispensable to the Chicagoplan, is not the sole assurance of a good education.Rather does it merely provide the foundation upon whichtwo other outstanding factors may build.The curriculum at Chicago is one of these features.This is no place for a "college catalog" description ofthe work offered. But the four survey courses at Chicago are well known. They cover the major fields ofhuman knowledge and serve as a broad base upon whichthe student can in his first two years implant his feet.The last years of work are ones of increasing specialization.Combined with this curriculum is a staff of professional men second to none in the country. Physiologyfrom a Carlson ; botany from a Coulter ; economics froma Gideonse; Dante from a Wilder; chemistry from aSchlesinger ! It is unusual for first- and second-yearstudents to have the guidance of the ranking men in theschool. But that is part of the Chicago plan.* * *What suggestions, then, have I for taking advantageof the academic opportunities offered by a university ofwhich I think so highly? Being of the class of '37, Ishall not find it feasible to apply any suggestions, however good, to my own undergraduate career. But hadI the perspective in the autumn of 1933 that I have now,I would not hesitate to guide my attack along certaindefinite lines.In the first place, I advise the first-year student tobe sure of a certain- maturity. The University is nokindergarten. However, age is no definite criterion ofthis maturity. A 22-year-old may be no more fit forthe work there than a downy-faced boy of sixteen.A valid evidence of this maturity is that the studenthave a plan for his education. Too many students goTHE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINE 17to college merely because 1) their parents went and itis the accepted thing to do, 2) a good time seems imminent, and 3) probably the chances of making a living-will be better regardless of the undergraduate coursefollowed.The famous MacMurray one-year plan, while extreme,is an example of this maturity.1 It is not advisable thatmany students take less than three years for their four-year course. But Mr. MacMurray's case is that of amature student who knew what he wanted and got it.Another case comes to mind, one which, while it didnot reach the head-lines, is illustrative. A Universityacquaintance of mine, whose friendship I value andwhose person I respect, dropped out of grade school atfourteen, with nothing but a grade school certificate anda desire to earn bread and butter. After taking up several trades (among them running a motion picture projector, working in a morgue, etc.) at the age of 26 hefelt that his formal education was not complete/. Fromexperience with many aspects of life he had discoveredwhat his occupation must be: medicine. He went towork on the New York regents examinations, passedthem in six months. Recognizing the University of Chicago, with its freedom of education, as the logical placefor his work, he enrolled. And after two years of reading, lectures, laboratory, and examinations, he wasawarded the B.A. degree. Now, a leader of his second-year medical class, he is an example of a student who,though older than his average classmate, knows whathe wants and has the mature mind to know how to goabout getting it.To take a case more personal, I need but refer tomyself. As a freshman I had the idea of studying law.As a sophomore I knew my destiny was banking. Andnow, graduated, I am following the educational profession. This is not offered as a story of degrading ambition, but rather as an illustration of how, if I couldhave known earlier what I wanted to do, my academicand professional qualifications for teaching would bemore impressive.Secondly, I suggest that the student get to know theprofessors. The plan at Chicago is one which leads* In 1935-36 Donald MacMurray completed the work for the Bachelor'sdegree in one year.In /VW Opinion (Continued jrom Page 14)critical operations. We can assert without hesitationthat the good critic will have the qualities of sensitivity,experience, taste, and tolerance. We can add anotherindispensable specification of the good critic. We maydemand that he indicate unmistakably the method whichhe is applying. If his starting point is a set of principles, we may very well demand to be informed whichset of principles he has adopted. If his starting point isa genre within or without a period, we may expect thatthe limitations of the frame of reference should be indicated specifically and adhered to without divagation.5jC * *I do not feel that I need defend the seemingly excessive amount of space in recent issues of the Magazinethat I have devoted to some of the problems of criticism. easily to close contact between teacher and student. Butthis relationship does not smack of the apple-polishingvariety. Because most examinations are constructed notby the professors, but by a Board of Examiners, theway is open for a rapport between student and teacher.There is but one obstacle to this contact. And that isthe plan of education itself. The freedom of education,in attendance and time allowance, may easily be transferred to the student's dealings with professors. Toomany students misconstrue the freedom of education ascomplete independence in education. But the bestfacility a good university can offer its students is contact with men at the top of their profession. A good citylibrary can offer anybody the same books that HarperMemorial Library can. And a good correspondencecourse can even prescribe the same books that a residentcourse can. But it is the concentration of theoreticiansand practical men, learned in their fields, that makes aliving university from a mere collection of libraries,laboratories, and museums. And the student who doesnot realize this while he is in school is not making themost of a great opportunity.Thirdly, I advise the student to become accustomedto speaking his say in college. The average collegian,although boisterous enough in less academic gatherings,fears the noisy silence following verbal mistakes in theclass room. He does not realize that it is far betterto make the mistakes there than in the sales manager'soffice. If he can get used to the idea that the class roomis the factory itself rather than the proving ground ofthe final product, he will realize that errors are not theevidence of failure.Fourthly, I strongly urge students to keep a strongfaith in their ability to do more than average qualitywork. Too many students, receiving C's the first term,become acclimated to mediocrity. This attitude isdangerous to possible subsequent success.* * *This paper has painted the University of Chicago asa school fraught with possibilities. I believe that theintelligent student, with an acute eye on what his collegetraining should mean to him and who outlines his planof attack with this in mind, will have the better chanceof changing these possibilities into probabilities.For, in my eyes, criticism is, or ought to be, the primaryobjective of all our educational procedure. The uncritical life is the life of the beast. The good critic is something more than the expert or the scholar, the technicianor the scientist. It is the glorious function of the artistto record in the most alluring and compelling forms possible those experiences— affective and ideational, physical and spiritual — which seems to him to be the mostprecious. It is the indispensable function of the critic todiscriminate among those compelling records of experience and to dwell with and upon those high values forhimself and others. Properly seen, criticism is the foundation of that good life, that civilized existence which fromthe dawn of culture has been the gleaming goal of thenobler among mankind.NEWS OF THE QUADRANGLESTHE University at the moment is beginning itsforty-seventh year of activity (its forty-eighthyear of legal existence) by assimilating a bumperfreshman crop in the process of orientation known asFreshman Week. The total is above 725, but final figures are not as yet available. The applications for admission at levels above the freshman year are runningat the spectacular figure of 27 per cent above last year.The University, if this kind of prosperity is made actualby registrations, faces a classroom problem which willemphasize anew the need for a College building southof the Midway.This increased interest in the higher learning — ascontrasted with the college "life" — has not as yet beenexplained. It seems, indeed, to arouse amazement insome quarters. Witness the Dallas, Texas, Times Herald of Sept. 2 : "Many of the June graduates of Wood-row Wilson high school plan to enter college in a fewwreeks, and, strangely enough, three of them haveelected to go to the University of Chicago." The popularity of the University apparently has no relation to thestatus of the Chicago football team, which draws nochampionship ratings in the sports pages. PresidentHutchins' numerous pieces in the magazines, which havebrought the virtues of education to a large audience ; theeffective work of Martin J. Freeman, Pre-entranceCounsellor ; the activity of the Alumni Advisers, theeffects of the four-year college plan in University High,undoubtedly have been factors in the Chicago brand ofeducation.President Hutchins begins his tenth year as head ofthe University, no longer the "boy president" but aneducational veteran. Only two presidents of "Big Ten"universities are senior to him in length of administration ;only six other of the thirty presidents of the Americanmembers of the Association of American Colleges havebeen in office longer. The newspapers that once worriedwhether or not he wore garters have long since put theirattention on his educational ideas.NEW APPOINTMENTSThe University starts the new year with sixty-six newappointments effective during the next three quarters.Six of these additions are of the rank of professor ; twoare associate professors ; fifteen are assistant professors ;thirty-two are instructors, ten are research associates andone is a lecturer. Most of the appointments in thehigher ranks have already been noted in these pages :Ralph W. Tyler, as professor and chairman of the department of education; Dr. James Franck, Nobel prizewinner, as professor of chemistry; Lindsay Rogers, Visiting Professor (Spring) and Walter Lippmann, visiting lecturer (Winter) under the Charles R. WalgreenFoundation; Bertrand Russell, as visiting professor ofphilosophy (Autumn and Winter), Wilton Krogman, as • By WILLIAM V.

Another appointment, made this summer is that of Dr. Carl A. Boethius, professor of ancienthistory and archaeology in the University of Goteborg.Dr. Boethius will be a visiting professor (Autumn) andwill give a course on Greek archaeology and another onRoman archaeology.Walter H. C. Laves, formerly head of the departmentof political science at Hamilton College, who held anappointment at the University as lecturer in politicalscience while he was director of the Mid- West Leagueof Nations Association, has been appointed an associateprofessor. He will direct the social science surveycourses in the College, taking over the position formerlyfilled by Associate Professor Gideonse. Dr. Laves graduated from the University in 1923 and took his Ph. D.here before going to Hamilton, where he became headof the department in 1929. He has been in Chicago.since 1936. Neil H. Jacoby, formerly director of theDivision of Research and Statistics for the State of Illinois, has been appointed assistant professor of finance inthe School of Business. After his undergraduate workat the University of Saskachewan he came to Chicago asa graduate student in economics under Professor SimeonLeland. When the state adopted a sales tax, Dr. Jacobywas appointed director of the division to put the taxinto effect. This work delayed his graduate studies, buthe received his Ph. D. degree at the June Convocation.George Francis James, Jr., Ph. B. '30, J. D., '32,has been appointed assistant professor to teachprocedure. He had a brilliant law school record whichincluded Coif and the scholarship awards of Wig andRobe and Nu Beta Epsilon. Following graduate workat Colunibia Mr. James taught at Ohio State University,and immediately following the death of Profesor Hinton, taught the evidence course here. He also has beenin active practice in Chicago, and for the last six monthshas been doing special work for the U. S. Treasury department.The department of music lost three members since lastspring: Associate Professor Carl E. Bricken, actingchairman, resigning to become director of the University of Wisconsin School of Music; Robert L. Sanders, instructor, resigning to become Dean of the Schoolof Music of Indiana University, and Herbert S.Schwartz, instructor, resigning to teach at St. JohnsCollege. W. Scott Goldthwaite, American editor of Revue Internationale de Musique, and for nine years atthe University of Missouri, has been appointed instructor to teach the history and theory of music. SiegmundLevarie, graduate of the Vienna Conservatory, and aPh. D. in music of the University of Vienna, has beennamed assistant and tutor in the department.18THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINE" 19SUMMER QUARTERA vast and bewildering array of institutes and conferences marked the Summer Quarter. Attended by numerous specialists they provided the summer studentsspecial opportunities for study of problems in education, in physics, in business education, international relations, and a host of other subjects. The attendancefor the first term of the quarter was up over 1937 by11 per cent, or 399 students and that for the secondterm was 7 per cent higher than the corresponding period of last year. Degrees awarded in August totalled564, of which 223 were Bachelors'. Total degreesawarded for the four quarters were 1,915.Four members of the faculty became emeritus onOctober 1 : Harvey Carr, professor of experimentalpsychology, and chairman of the department; Henri C.E. David, associate professor of French Literature;Chester N. Gould, associate professor of Germanic andScandanavian literatures; and Harry A. Millis, professor and chairman of the department of economics.Dr. Carr took his bachelor's and master's degree atthe University of Colorado and the Ph. D. from Chicago, in 1905. From 1908 to 1916 he was assistantprofessor here; associate professor until 1923, and professor since that year. He became chairman of thedepartment in 1926. He is known particularly amongpsychologists for his research in comparative psychology, the psychological problems of learning, and hiswork in space perception. Under his guidance the well-known "Chicago School" of psychology, largely emphasizing the functional approach established by AngellJudd, and others, has been maintained and the department has been one of the best in the country, as its"starred men" testifies.Professor David has been a notable teacher in theRomance Languages. His wit and his skill in actinghave been extra-curricular appeals that have long contributed to the enjoyment of University activities. Tohis knowledge of language he added an expert's understanding and appreciation of art, particularly the Frenchschool, about which he has done considerable writing.His association with the University faculty dates to1902, but he was a student here for two previous years.Professor Gould took his doctorate from Chicago in1907, and has been a member of the faculty since 1908.He has done pioneering studies in Scandanavian literature, particularly in his demonstration of the Orientalinfluence on that literature, through his work on theFrith job Saga. Also known to scholars is his workon the names of Scandinavian dwarfs, which he showedwere a reflection of mythological ideas. Because of hisinterest and missionary zeal, many other students havebeen stimulated to edit the late Icelandic stories, and acomparatively untouched field in the study of literature has been opened as a result. Likewise a teacher,he had an exceptional knowledge of practical phoneticswhich he labored mightily to impart to his classes.His associates and former students had already unitedlast May to give Professor Millis a surprise 65th birthday party, but the rugged head of the economics department continues in full stride. To all intents and purposes, he will continue activity as usual under a special appointment, and the day of his active retirementis still in the distance. Three days before the "emeritus"tag was put to his name he was appointed by President Roosevelt one of the three-men fact finding boardto handle the threatened railroad strike. He has beenan arbitrator of labor problems for more than two scoreof years, in between his activity in producing a distinguished line of students.CANCER INSTITUTEThe extensive research program of the University oncancer has been expanding so rapidly into so many different fields that a Committee on Cancer has been appointed by President Hutchins to correlate the workand to advise on the development of the general program. The Committee will operate virtually as a cancer institute and will bring into close working relations the clinicians and the investigators in fields asremote from medicine as physics.

Tech. 3,Psychology: Three universities have trained most ofthe recently starred psychologists, namely Columbia(12), Harvard (9), and Chicago (8). Hopkins andStanford gave doctorates to two; no other to more thanone in 1921-1938.Zoology: For 1921-1938 the totals are Harvard 26,Columbia 23, Chicago 14, Cornell 10, Hopkins 10, Yale8, Stanford and Illinois 4, California, Wisconsin andPennsylvania 3, and Michigan 2. Harvard and Columbia tied in 1938.ConclusionsThe foregoing data, obtained from the impartial biographical dictionary, American Men oj Science, revealthat in strength of its scientific faculty, and also in thenumber of recipients of the doctorate who were subsequently starred as the leaders in research by vote of theirfellow scientists, the University of Chicago notably surpasses all but Harvard, and has substantially reducedHarvard's lead. In the training of undergraduates, wholater became leaders in research, Chicago recently hassurpassed Harvard, in proportion to the enrollment ofundergraduate men, and has far surpassed all the otherchief universities, according to the evidence of the 1933and 1938 starred groups.The total scientific strength of the faculty and itssticcess, in the aggregate, in graduating leaders affects,of course, the spirit of the university and the value of itsdegrees.

Hence evidence as to comparative strength of scientific departments is of value. Fromthe number of graduates recently starred it appears thatwhen they were being trained, Chicago led with respectto anatomy, botany, physiology and physics, and wasvery close to the top in astronomy, chemistry, geology,mathematics and psychology. In zoology it was third,and in pathology fourth. Only in anthropology andpathology of the twelve sciences selected for detailedstudy by Cattell, did it fail to place among the leading-three universities.The number of starred graduates does not show thepresent standing of the University, because from 15 to25 years are required, with rare exceptions, after thebachelor's degree is received, or from 10 to 20 after thedoctorate, before a star is won. This is partly becausethe voting that leads to starring is held only at intervalsof several years (1921, 1927, 1933, 1938 for example).Chicago's strength in 1938 may be inferred however,from the large number of recently starred members ofthe faculty (Table I), and the activity of many of thefaculty members who were starred earlier.By 1915 Chicago had forged ahead of all other chiefuniversities except Harvard in the number of bachelorswho were later starred as scientists, and was ahead ofHarvard in proportion to men undergraduates laterhonored in this way. Now, with the Chicago Plan,which is considered by competent judges to be especially adapted to attract capable and ambitious undergraduates and to give considerable numbers of them thetype of training favorable to the development of the independent and scholarly attitude conducive to distinguished achievement, it seems probable that Chicago isin the lead.Doctorates Conferred by Departments onScientists Starred Since 19211O1< *oftouX4-»< £ocou¦*->CO< &cd0PQ I<L>Xo bflo0<uO COcd£CD¦Bcds >>bflocdPL, COo•aPL, >.bo*co>>X >.bfl3.oXoCO Zoology TotalCalifornia 0 1 11 3 15 8 1 1 4 0 0 3 47Cal.

Shaughnessy's opinionof the 1938 Chicago football squad, as he preparedto start his sixth year as Head Coach of the Maroons.A group of 50 men, the largest squad the Universityhas had for several years, reported for practice on September 10th. Only seven of this group have won theirmajor C — as several were temporarily retarded intheir search for higher learning by some examinationslast June and will be lost to the team this year — but ithas been some time since the University has had sucha confident and ambitious squad.Coach Shaughnessy's statement, while surely not oneof over-confidence, isn't one of total abjection. Thislack of experience he speaks of, while a very definitehandicap, is a condition that will be eliminated as timepasses. Six or seven first-year men will be started inevery game and until these yearlings get their sea-legstoo much cannot be expected. Potentially, however, theyare good football players and at times during the seasonshould cause more than a little uneasiness to our opponents.Reserve material looks promising both in quantityand quality. Insufficient replacements has always beenan acute problem for Coach Shaughnessy and while therewon't be an over abundance of players it should be possible, without weakening the team, to give more mena rest during a game than has been possible in the past.An experienced backfield composed of Captain Hamity,Valorz, Goodstein, and Sherman is an aggregation tobring joy to the feeble heart of any big time coach.Captain Lewis Hamity again this year will be thespear-head of the attack. He will be calling signals onoffense and will be the backbone of the defence. Lewshould make an excellent captain. He is well liked byevery man, is a hard worker, and has the confidence ofboth the players and the coaches. This should be a bigyear for him. He is faster, has put on some weight,and of prime importance, he has acquired confidence inhis ability. "As Hamity goes so goes the team."Sollie Sherman, a fast and shifty open field runner,will assist Hamity in the signal-calling role. Sol hasbeen handicapped during the last two years by injuries.Barring his absence from several games because of histrick knee he should get some national as well as BigTen recognition at the end of the season.The fullback job will be handled competently by MortGoodstein, a 200 lb. senior. Mort, a lineman in highschool, was changed to the backfield upon his entranceto the University. He has had a difficult job acclimating himself to this position, but in practice sessions hasshown a confidence and ferocity that should prove effective in games. Assisting Mort will be Wallace Otter-meyer, a 185 lb. sophomore who prepped at ParkerHigh in Chicago. Ottermeyer is inexperienced but is ahard runner and an effective tackier. Ed Valorz, playing halfback, is perhaps the mostunderrated player on this year's squad. Ed is a terrificblocker, a dependable tackier, a hard runner, and anuncanny pass receiver. He will do most of the dirtywork for the team and, as he can't get enough of therough and tough work, is certain to hand out more punishment than he receives.The remainder of the backfield material, with oneexception, are very inexperi-^^»> enced and until they provetheir mettle are unworthy of? mention. The exception,John Davenport, is a juniorwho played several times lastseason. Davy is the sprintchampion of the Big Tenand with his terrific speedshould be a threat while heis in the game.The biggest job of thisveteran backfield will be toinstill confidence in their inexperienced front wall.JAY BERWANGER, '36 Two returning seniors,Ted Fink and Robert Sass,will play a good portion of the time at guard but WalterMaurovich and Ted Howe may replace them in thestarting lineup.Jack Plunkett, a 185 lb. center from Red Lodge,Montana, will replace Robert Greenebaum, who returnedto school with an injured knee. Plunkett, an all-stateplayer in high school, shows promise of being an excellent pivot man. He will compensate any mistakes hemight make due to lack of experience with his fight andspirit.The tackle positions will be made up entirely of newmen with David Weideman and John Bex occupyingthe starting positions. Weideman, an all-state end fromHyde Park high school, has been shifted to the tackleposition and, with experience, may turn in a satisfactoryjob. Bex, who prepped at South Side high school inFort Wayne, Indiana, has had very little experience buthas shown a spirit arid determination that should carryhim far along the path to football glory. WoodrowWilson, a senior who was ineligible last year, will serveas a replacement for these two men and as the seasonprogresses may push some one out of a starting assignment. A 210 lb. Davenport, Iowa, boy, Hugh Rendle-man, and Donald Wilson, who came to us via Hinsdale,Illinois, will also bolster this position.Robert Wasem, a stellar end last year, will be lostfor a time because of his scholastic standing, but shouldbe in the lineup for the last five games. His absencewill weaken the team. Willis Littleford, 170 lb.Downers Grove athlete, and Joseph Howard, a madeover guard from Inglewood, California, have, however,2122 THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINEshown they can more than take care of the flank positions. Both these men, although new at their tasks,should at no time give Coach Shaughnessy any reasonfor worrying. Flo ward Hawkins, 180 lb. transfer fromMichigan State, and Duncan Scott, a Bowen HighSchool product, will be substitutes whose presence inthe game will not weaken the team.The high light of the Maroons' schedule this yearcomes November 12 when Old Man Stagg brings hisCollege of the Pacific Mustangs to the Midway. Manyan "Old Grad" will be torn betwix and between on thatdramatic day. The Grand Old Man is bringing a highlytouted aggregation East with him and, as the Maroonswill not be a pushover for any squad, the game has theearmarks of being the outstanding contest of the year.Michigan vs. Chicago will be another case of a Chicago man trying to down his former school. FritzCrisler, having brought Princeton back in the footballlimelight, is endeavoring to do the same with the Michigan Wolverines. Michigan, the Maroons' first Big Tengame and the second contest on their schedule, will bea stiff test for the Midway yearlings. Survival of theMichigan contest in good physical condition and possiblya scalp at their belt will give the Midway boys an evenchance with the Iowa Hawkeyes. Ohio State, however, may have a little too much experience for the Maroonclad boys to cope with.DePauw should be taken in stride, but the Harvardgame which follows, is something else again. The Crimson players have one of their best teams in years andthe Maroons will have to be at full strength if they areto bring home a victory in this, the first contest between the two universities.After the College of the Pacific game there may be alet down. As Illinois is the last game of the season,however, and the veteran backfield has a score to settleagainst the Illini, a victory is not outside the range ofpossibilities.Now this writer always has been considered an optimist, so perhaps too rosy a picture of the coming seasonhas been painted. It is a fact, however, that the teamshows promise of being the best of the past severalyears. None of the coaching staff has any championshipaspirations (although several members of the team haveinclinations along that line), but every one expects towin several games. In the dim past, the Maroons werefamous for their stubborn resistance and their fightingspirit. This year's team will bring a revival of thatspirit coupled with an offense that fits material to perfection. Win, lose, or draw, the University will have ateam of which it can be justly proud.risp October Morningscall for heartier breakfastsBigger breakfasts are in order these first frosty mornings.

Before communication with the outside world was disrupted, the New YorkLife's Home Office was notified that two of its policyholdersin the city had died. Prompt payments would relieve distress. But how could they be made under these conditions?THE OPPOSING ARMIES recognized the humanity of lifeinsurance . . . suspended hostilities . . . allowed a representativeto pass through the lines under a Hag of truce in order to establish a contact and make arrangements with the beneficiaries within the city of Norfolk for the payment of these claims. UNTOER if WMJkGOF TRUCEAtpr/olkWitginia . . . . 1862IONE OF THE BENEFICIARIES later came to New York toexpress her appreciation. She carried a letter from MayorWilliam W. Lamb of Norfolk. He wrote: "Your prompt payment has sustained the high reputation of your Company inthis community which I hope it will continue to enjoy."THE New York Life has a longrecord of fidelity in meeting itsobligations to policyholders; and ininvesting it adheres to the principlethat safety should always be the firstconsideration. These are among thereasons why the Company continues to merit the confidence of its policyholders . . . why a New York Lifepolicy is one of the best investmentsyou can make . . . why the agents, inoffering the benefits of New York Lifeprotection, render a valuable serviceto the public. This Company is now selecting qualified college alumni toaugment its field organization in itsvarious branch offices. If you thinkthat you, or someone you know, mightbe interested, the Company will be gladto forward a copy of a 48-page book entitled "A Career as a Life Underwriter."SAf£Tr /S ALWAYS T/f£ F/RST COWS/D£MAr/OJr. . .
