Even in those early days it was not unusual for the wife to takethe initiative in matters concerning the husband's life insurance. Writing that she wished she couldafford to "increase the amount of insurance to the utmost limit," she added, "it costs much self-denial. . . but what is self-denial to the Mother of two noble boys whom even this sum may aid to educate?"JULY 15, 1853, less than eigWt months later, is the date of thereceipt for $1,139.89 "in full for policy No. 7784," which waspaid to Mary B. . . . as a death claim. So far as we know, this isthe first record of life insurance protection for the specific purposeof providing funds for the education of children. TODAY THOUSANDS of "educational policies" are protectingthe future careers of American boys and girls. Such protection,as offered by New York Life and its agents, contributes to thewelfare of the family and to the social and economic bettermentof the nation.

Davies, '36.Philadelphia, Pa.THE EDITOR HAS A FRIENDTo the Editor:Congratulations on having put outwhat in my opinion is the best issueof The University of Chicago Magazinethat has come out for a very long time.It has much life and virility; it speaksof current and interesting matter pertaining to the University that must beof definite interest to all the alumni,more than any previous issue, and comesa great deal closer to what, in my humble opinion, a magazine of this typeshould be.It would seem to me that we couldwell devote a small section in the Magazine to the presentation by alumnimembers of opposing thoughts on matters of current interest in connectionwith the University and its problems.I am quite sure that the alumni wouldbe very glad to do their part in contributing brief articles, if requested to do so.Those of us who are forced to beaway from the University for so manyyears and who do not have the opportunity to get back to visit the old environment to breathe in the present dayatmosphere, are naturally dependent toa great degree upon what we read inthe Magazine for keeping us posted onwhat is going on at the University.# Ifthere could be more discussion of highpoints in conjunction with the University's present day program from allangles, I believe it would make theMagazine even more interesting than ithas been in the past. . . .C. F. Leland, '04.New York City.LINN AND KELLYTo the Editor:It has been suggested to me that inview of the wide-spread local publicitygiven to my plan of a Committee tosupervise Mayor Kelly's appointmentsto the Chicago School Board, and otherwise to advise him on school financialand curricular matters, I should present a statement in the Magazine of the planand its present fulfilment.November 11th, a few days after myelection to the State Legislature, I wrotethe Mayor suggesting a conference onschool matters. In the next two monthswe had considerable correspondence andabout twenty hours of talk over thematter. The upshot was my announcement over the radio at the end of January that the Mayor had authorized meto form such a Committee, and wouldgive the Committee authority to "suggest, approve or disapprove" all appointments he made to the Board while heremained Mayor.This announcement was greeted byabout 150 telegrams and letters of approval, and twelve (mostly anonymous)attacking me for supporting Kelly forMayor, against Courtney. In the courseof the next ten days, the Daily Newsfavored me with three long editorials,calling me everything from a boob andand absent-minded professor, up to atreacherous demagogue. The News hadgiven me an enormous amount of favorable publicity in the primary campaignof 1938, when I had ferociously attackedthe Chicago School Board and the management of the public schools by Superintendent Johnson. In January, Col.Knox, publisher of the News, had written me asking me to campaign for Mr.Courtney, on the schools issue. Col.Knox then went to South America;but naturally the News was annoyedthat, apparently in his absence, I hadturned to Kelly, as the man in powerand practically certain to remain inpower, to improve the conditions I badattacked him in April for permitting.The Committee was appointed, however, and given in writing by the Mayorexactly the authority.. I had said overthe radio he wTould give it. This wasstill further annoying to those who hadasserted that I had "bought a goldbrick," that Mayor Kelly was not to betrusted, and that nothing but furtherdelay and futility could come of theCommittee plan. Not only the writtenauthorization by the Mayor, but thepersonnel of the Committee as appointed,made delay and futility impossible. TheCommittee consists of the following:Dr. M. O. Bousfield, President of theChicago Urban League.Wm. F. Clarke, Dean of the DePaulUniversity Law School (electedChairman at the first meeting ofthe Committtee).Miss Charlotte Carr, Head Residentof LIull-House.Frank N. Freeman, Professor ofChild-Psychology in the Universityof Chicago.James Weber Linn, State Representative, 5th District. John Nering, President of the PolishWelfare Association.Lester N. Selig, President of GeneralAmerican Transportation Co.Dr. Richard J. Tivnen, of the LoyolaUniversity Medical School.As a "labor member" the Mayor triedhard to secure Victor Olander, Secretary-Treasurer of the Illinois State Federation of Labor, but Mr. Olanderpleaded poor health. At the time thisis written, no labor member has yetbeen selected.The Committee held its first meetingon Monday, February 20th, organizedby electing Dean Clarke as Chairman,and proceeded to review its authority,status, and duties. It was unanimouslyagreed that its principal job was tofind the best possible new members forthe School Board, two of whom are tobe appointed in April. The Committeeset up the following "minimal standards" for qualification: (1) ability, (2)integrity, (3) independence, (4) publicspirit, (5) special fitness. (This "special fitness" relates to individual valuesto the Board, as in connection withfinance, expertness in curricular matters, legal knowledge, and so forth.)The Committee then agreed to ask asmany civic organization and even well-informed individuals as possible to sendin within ten days the names of personshighly qualified for membership on theBoard, with the idea of making up abrief list of those whom the Committeeregarded as particularly highly qualified,from which selection for appointmentcould be made by the Mayor. This listwill be ready before the expiration ofthe terms of the two members whoseappointments expire this Spring.The Committee further announcedthat, aside from supervision of appointments, to the Board, it regarded itselfas a fact-finding, not a policy-making,body ; that it was not appointed to "run"the schools, that it had no direct powerwhatever over either the Board or theSuperintendent; but that it would makean investigation of both the finances andthe curricular developments of theschools, and on the basis of that investigation would advise the Mayor ifhe asked for advice on these matters —as he has said he would ask. The papershave called the Committee, in headlines,a "super-:Board," and the members"school-Czars." The members of theCommittee, as individuals, regard theseheadlines as just so much nonsense.Speaking only for myself — the matter has not been discussed by the Committee, nor I think will it ever be — ¦I regard the present Superintendent ofSchools as the storm-center, if there isa storm-center, of unfavorable teacher-opinion. Mr. Johnson is a smart youngman, but he is both rather greedyTHE UNIVERSITY OF CIIICAGO MAGAZINE 3(which is not the same as ambitious)and constantly tactless. Either consciously or unconsciously, he treats theaverage teacher, subordinate, or evencasual caller in his office, like me, asif we were dirt. It is not enough therefore to say that he is disliked. He is sodisliked that the vague thing called"morale" in the schools has beenknocked into a cocked hat. He has twoyears more of term of appointment, andwithout a repetition of the famous Mc-Andrew scandal cannot be thrown out.What it is to be hoped is that he canbe "educated" by the Board. But itmust not be forgotten that it is theSuperintendent who "runs" the schools.That is the law, and it is the only sensible law. There must be a center ofresponsibility and that center can onlybe the Superintendent, as long as heremains Superintendent. I think thegreat mistake of the Board as a Boardwas its adoption in 1933 of the alleged"economy program." Economy was required, but the adopted program did notprovide it. Its mistake since was theappointment and reappointment of Mr.Johnson as Superintendent. That wasa bad mistake, to be sure. Dollars todoughnuts the Mayor regrets it, whohad nothing to do with it, however theBoard may feel. Nothing will cure itbut appointments to the Board who willnot repeat that mistake. I say again,this paragraph is purely personal; whatthe ideas of the Committee may be aboutthis I have no conception.The Schools Advisory Commitee is,however, launched. If Mayor Kelly isre-elected, it will continue to function.If not, the Mayor-elect will find it wiseto proceed along the Committee lines,and will probably do so, even thoughthe present Committee, extra-legal as itis, should disappear into what GroverCleveland called "inocuous desuetude."As for me personally, in case anybody is interested, I may quote oneformer pupil who wires me, "O, whata tangled web we weave when first wepractice to deceive," or another who informed me "There are two Judases inhistory, Iscariot and Teddy Linn," andsuggest you take your choice; thoughmy own belief is they are neither ofthem quite right about it.James Weber Linn, '97.P.S. * It might interest alumni toknow that the whole Committee planwas suggested to me by Stillman Frank-land, president of the class of 1932.BOUQUET TO SHILTONTo the Editor :The University of Chicago Magazine came today. "Twenty-sevenalumni read 'Gate Receipts and Glory'and raged." I am sure there were thousands who raged but did not care to get BOOKSA Handbook of Drama. By FrankHurbert O'Hara '15, and MargueriteHaiman Bro. Chicago : Willett Clark& Co., 1938.TPIIS is an easy and authoritativevolume. Frank O'Hara, from hisexperience of highly successful teachingat the University of Chicago, and Mrs.Bro from her background of socialinterests, have written a dramatic textbook of the drama which is also a commentary on contemporary life and theeducational process. It is not the offhand kind of production that frequentlyreflects lack of tested judgments. Iknow from close observation of theauthors that the contents of the bookhave stood the trial of class-room anddrama-laboratory as well as havingpassed the judgment of critics beforebeing submitted to the public as a finished production. As a result the bookgives evidence of scholarship withoutbeing either pedantic or ostentatious.This is primarily a text book and assuch is designed in the new mode forthe personality differentials of the quickstudent and the slow student, bothwithin the same class. The authors'theory of teaching might be called circle-wise education, for -they admit thestudent — or the teacher — at the point ofhis immediate interest and allow himto proceed in his own fashion, backwardor forward, in any direction that hisinterest can carry him. The authorsthemselves choose to present first theinto the controversy. I am writing youtoday to compliment you on Mr. Shil-ton's article, which certainly is to thepoint. One quotaton from Clara AllenRahill's article can be added and makesthe story complete — when we have summarized, "What did I get out of college?" Looking back twenty years, mygreatest regret is that I am not a member of the Order of the "C." I live inMichigan, where athletics is stressedand where Fritz Crisler can make bothMichigan and Chicago proud; and itwas here that the small group of athletes representing the University ofChicago on the football field at AnnArbor gave good account of themselvesin sportsmanship and ability. Chicagoans need make no apologies. Let'sgo on and play ball.Thanks for this opportunity of a rambling note and an outlet for a great dealof suppression which has been goingon in my mind for many months.E. S. Parmenter, '18, MD'20.To the Editor:... I want to congratulate theMagazine upon publishing the article by various types of plays — tragedy, comedy, farce, melodrama, and all of theirramifications; then the essentials ofthe play — character, situation, theme,mood, and their constituent parts; andfinally, after the student understandssomething of the process of play-making, the factors which give rise to thedrama and the role it has played inthe history of literature. This procedure is sound psychologically becauseit begins with aspects which tie upwith immediate student interest, leadingback to the historical. It seems to methat it may be a surer way of sharpening the creative edge than the usualtechnical and critical analysis whichcharacterizes most books in this field.However, the authors do not insist upontheir method of presenting the subjectmatter of drama. As in all true teaching, elbow room remains for the otherperson's ideas and methods.The book's largest service is probablyto- students at the junior college anduniversity level, although sections couldreadily be assigned to high school students for collateral reading. Teachersmay infer from the title of the volume¦ — A Handbook of Drama — that thebook will solve their many problems ofplay production. But this is not a bookon play production. It soon becomesobvious that whatever may have beenlost from extensity of treatment in omitting that phase of the subject, is madeup by thorough treatment of those aspects to which the authors have limitedthemselves. The reader is left withthe feeling that more may be expected{Continued on Page 25)Earle A. Shilton. I think he hassummed up the situation much betterthan anyone else, and I admire hisfrankness. . .Charles Lee Sullivan, Jr., '11.Dayton, Ohio.To the Editor :. . . Earle Shilton, whom I knewvery well indeed, took the words rightout of my mouth, as Bob Burns wouldsay to Bing, when he wrote his superiorarticle in the last Magazine. Withoutathletic teams, especially football andtrack, the University at social gathering is often a painful subject, especiallywhen some minor college has walkedover the University and a former student of that college suggests that theMaroons really should play againstsome "B" class high school sometimeand win a game. Of course, you andI know that is exaggeration, but thepoint remains that it is a tender subject. . .Lawrence G.

WideWorld and the Chicago Daily News)VOLUME XXXI THE UNIVERSITY OFCHICAGO MAGAZINE NUMBER 6TOLERANCE" MARCH, 1939By JAMES B. HERRICK, MD, Rush "88, Professor Emeritus of MedicineMY address this morning will be made up of afew comments upon certain features of life asit is seen by the physician. My rather discursive remarks may acquire a semblance of coherenceand unity if they are given the caption Tolerance. A notinappropriate text may be found in Romans XIV, 13:"Let us not therefore judge one another any more; butjudge this rather, that no man put a stumbling block oran occasion to fall in his brother's way."There will be no attempt to explain the deeper meanings of life, nor to offer solutions of the many presentday problems of society, urgent though they may be.When sincere, earnest statesmen, scholarly philosophers,psychologists and sociologists are not in accord, it isplainly the part of discretion, if not of wisdom, for himwho is far from an expert in these matters to keep silence— to stick to his last. It is hoped that in a suggestiveway these remarks may help toward a better understanding of the "good life" which Dean Gilkey tells usis one of the objectives, toward which these chapel services are directed.Perhaps a physician is justified in venturing to speakof the good life, for he has an unusual opportunity ofseeing life both good and bad. There is an old sayingthat the minister sees people at their best, the lawyersees them at their worst, the doctor sees them just asthey are. While proverbs and other supposedly wTisesaws are often only partially true, this one, at least sofar as it concerns the doctor, has much of fact to badv itup. The relation of the general practitioner of the oldtype to the family he served was unique in its intimacy.For years he was their trusted guide, philosopher andfriend. He knew them as they were. Even today inthis age of medical specialism, those seeking advice asto health make revelations to the doctor as frankly as toa father confessor. To the physician the patient bareshis inmost soul as he does his body. No medieval inquisitor could by rack or other form of torture wringfrom the unfortunate who was under suspicion more confessions than those that come voluntarily from the onewho, on the bed of illness, quails before the dread ofyears of painful inactivity or the threat of impendingdeath. Verily, the physician sees people as they are.The objection may be raised that the doctor is not agood judge because he is interested chiefly in the disease*A recent Sunday morning address in the Chapel. and not in the patient. This objection is not valid. Atrue doctor has a dual personality. Toward disease hemust be impartially, even coldly, scientific. What is thenature of the illness ? What can be done to ameliorateor cure it ? Can it be prevented in the future ? Towardthe patient, however,.. the doctor must be sympathetic, inthe derivational sense of the word "suffering with" theafflicted one, whom he views not alone as a "case" butas a thinking, feeling, timorous human being.Lord Tweedsmuir in remarks made at the HarvardCommencement last June — his remarks have alreadybeen frequently quoted — said that three qualities werenecessary to enable one "to keep a sure foothold in theshifting sands of the present." The qualities— all beginning with the letters h-u-m — are humility, humanity andhumor. These qualities, if not the essence of tolerance,are at least important ingredients. They are well understood by the physician. He is all but overcome by humility as he is conscious of the wide gaps in our knowledgeof science in general and of medicine in particular, andas he considers the tragic consequences that may comefrom human error in the application of the knowledgewe possess. He knows the meaning of humanity, forthere is a daily pull at his heart strings as the sorrowsof illness are brought to his attention. He often findsit hard not to let the humane side of his nature overbalance the judicial. And he is aware of the value ofhumor, a saving sense of humor it is rightly called.Humor, says Lord Tweedsmuir, "is the best weapon withwhich to fight pedantry and vainglory and false rhetoric." But, it may be added, humor is not only an efficient weapon with which to attack; it is a shield thatprotects one from discouragement at one's own shortcomings and from depression caused by the sufferingsof others. Humor is a safety valve, an avenue of escape.Knickerbocker's History of New York was written byWashington Irving when he was nearly overwhelmed bygrief at the death of his fiancee. Westcott wrote DavidHarum while fighting a losing battle with tuberculosis.Moreover, when the physician sees vainglory and pedantry in others, his sense of humor tends to repress suchoutbreaks in himself, for he strives to be consistent andnot to appear ridiculous Humor and humanity, i.e.humor and sympathy, should be combined. There is agood deal of truth in what Clarence Day says aboutG. Bernard Shaw : "Shaw has studied the ways of man-56 TLIE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINEkind, but without enough sympathy. It is unlucky, bothfor him and for us. If he had been humorous and wise,what a friend he'd have been to us. Instead, being brilliant and witty, he has remained an outsider, a man witha warm-blooded brain and a gray-matter heart."Tolerance is forbearance, it is the exercise of patienceand charity toward one whose opinions or acts we do notapprove. While we may condemn the deed, we do notnecessarily condemn the doer. Though we believe ouropinion and behavior are right, we do not, except bypersuasion, education or example try to induce him togive up his own view or to adopt our practice; unless,it must be added, he is periling society, for there is alimit even to tolerance. Intolerance, on the other hand,is offended by, and unwilling to put up with, opinionsthat differ from our own.But many of the differences that estrange people arenot serious, they are largely due to the accident of whenand where one was born ; they are matters of race, country, custom, environment.In 1917, as physician in a Local Exemption Boardand later in a District Board, there came before me forphysical examination several hundred young men whowere under conscription for the World War. The question was often asked what differences were noted between the rich young men from Astor Street or theFake Shore Drive and those who came from the poorer,so-called tough neighborhoods to the west, for the localdistrict included the forty-second ward, fittingly calledthe melting pot of Chicago, where social extremes existside by side. My reply was that when these young menfrom eighteen to thirty-one years of age appeared forexamination, clotheless always, generally freshly barberedand bathed, it was difficult to tell the Gold Coast manfrom the one who came from the slums. The cigarettestain on the fingers was a common mark ; the roughnessof the hands might have come from wielding the sledgeor from swinging the golf or polo club; the callus on thefoot might have been caused by the rub of the ill-fittingshoe of poverty or the pinch of the tight shoe of fashion.The stoop of the shoulder was found in the scholar, thewhite-collared proof reader or bookkeeper, the long-houred, underpaid tailor of the sweat shop. There wereno identification marks in lungs, heart or joints. "Ifyou prick us, do we not bleed ?" could have been said byall. Under the microscope the blood was the same.There were differences of color, race, fades, mentality ;differences in social views, ethical standards, reactionsto war. Not all liars came from the back streets, Itxw-ever, not all the socialists and communists from the sweatshops or the ramshackle tenements. The most honest,most sensitive and modest individual whom I examinedwas a poor Jewish lad, who, in his early twenties, hadan incurable form of cancer. The most unreasoningpacifist came from a Gold Coast home of wealth and culture. The wildest communist was an intellectual Belgian whose obstreperous threats of violence necessitatedhis being turned over to the Department of Justice. Loyalty, patriotism, courage to make sacrifice, of life if necessary, were found in all classes, as were cowardice, shirking of duty, even disloyalty.Surely there are more common characteristics that should unite people than differences that should sepa*rate them. No one nation, no one race, no economicintellectual or social group has a monopoly of the higherattributes such as honesty, kindness, idealism. If onemingles in their homes with the peasants in EnglandFrance, Germany, or in what were once Austria andBohemia, in Italy, or the United States, one finds inmost of these rural people the same general type ofneighborliness, industry, integrity, fear of God, i. e.the same dependable fundamentals of character.So the doctor, as he grows older, learns to look uponpeople as, after all, very much alike. The question is notwhether the one in trouble is of this race or religion orthat; whether he is cultured or ignorant. The questionis whether the individual is ill or thinks he is. If so, thedoctor tries to help him. Should not others, even thosehigh in authority, have some such view of people as hasthe physician? A more liberal recognition of the brotherhood of man would help to solve some of thetroublesome problems of the day.Now at times the doctor has come to him patients sopersonally disagreeable or so outrageously bad, thatthough he is charitably minded, he fervently hopes theymay never return for advice or service which he is, byduty, bound to give. But after long experience — let ussay fifty years — he has become more cautious about condemning any individual as utterly bad. He finds fewwho are without some redeeming quality of goodness.Gamblers and grafters, even professional thieves andkillers, may be of temperate habits, model husbands andfathers, loyal friends, kindly, men of their word. Theman who is severely criticised because he is an official ina "soulless corporation" may, outside his corporation, befar from soulless, he may be an excellent neighbor, aman of honor.Often, too, the physician discovers that there are extenuating circumstances, that an evil life may have itsroots in hunger, poverty, sickness, ignorance, a real orimagined sense of injustice against individuals or society.The doctor is less severe in his judgment, may evenadmit that under similar circumstances he might havebeen tempted to act, or even might have acted, as hadthe other. He recognizes the sound philosophy in theremarks of Penny Baxter in The Yearling: "Jest De alittle mite easy on the other feller."Wide geographic, intellectual, political or social separation of individuals or nations may account for seriousmisunderstanding. To rub elbowrs with the other fellowor to make his acquaintance, with all knees under thesame conference — or dining table, is often enlighteningand mellowing. Bitterness may vanish ; enemies maybecome friends. Was it Charles Lamb who said hedidn't wish to meet a certain man against whom he hada strong prejudice for fear he might like him? We donot know today, perhaps never may know, exactly whatmotives prompted and activated the recent conference atMunich. Suspicion, fear, deception, greedy bargaining,threats may have had much to do with bringing about atruce that warded off, at least for a time, an unspeakablyterrible world war. But one may venture the guessthat, when the four world leaders met not alone as leaders but as men, they discovered that there was still aTHE UNIVERSITY OFcommon bond of human sympathy that enabled them towork toward what we trust was found to be a commonideal : peace and the increased happiness of mankind.There is another thought. Standards of conduct vary ;wickedness, after all, is relative— there is nothing eithergood or bad but thinking makes it so. Furthermore, if wecould see ourselves as others see us we would less rashlyor misunder standingly pass judgment on the behavior ofour neighbors. We might discover that others are asperplexed over some of our actions as we are .overtheirs. Walter de La Mare has a little poem that is tothe point:All but BlindAll but blindIn his chambered holeGropes for wormsThe four clawed Mole.All but blindIn the evening skyThe hooded BatTwirls softly by.All but blindIn the burning dayThe Barn-Owl' 'blundersOn her way.And blind as areThese three to me,So, blind to Some-oneI must be.In a democracy the notion is ingrained that the majority should rule because the majority must be right. Buthistory tells us that this has not always been true. Galileowith the majority against him was right. The majoritythen, should be lenient in its treatment of the minority,for the minority may after all be right. For opinions arenot fixed or standardized. The views of the majorityconcerning business, government, science, literature, art,religion may in a decade seem antiquated, impractical,even ethically wrong. It is well to remember what hasoften been said, that the radical of one generation is thereactionary of the next.On the other hand, those who are classed as liberal orradical should be patient and tolerant with those whoseviews seem to these radicals to be outmoded. Supposea Kruger or a Dowie believes the world is flat or thatthere'is a hell that literally burns with fire ; suppose someworship a God whose attributes are incomprehensible tous. If their beliefs are harmless to others, what profitis there in violently disturbing them? Why put a stumbling block in the path of our brother though he seems tous misguided? By time, evolution, experience, education, there will come a change which will be, as one musthope, in the direction of truth. Should we antagonizethese people and render them unhappy by endorsing andacting according to the view^ of Stuart Chase that "Those CHICAGO MAGAZINE 7who deliberately teach these people to fly from realitythrough cults, mythologies and dogmas are helping themto be unsane, to deal with phantoms, to create dreamstates." Even though we admit that many of these cultsand dogmas seem to us phantoms and dream states, isnot the attitude of Madame Curie loftier and nobler?She says: "So far as I am concerned, I should nevervoluntarily contribute to anybody's loss of faith. Letevery one keep his own faith, so long as it is sincere.Only hypocrisy irritates me — and it is as widespread astrue faith is rare. ... I hate hypocrisy. But I respectsincere religious feelings when I meet them, even if theygo with a limited state of mind."This brings up an important point: Violent oppositionto what one conceives to be wrong is often a poor wayof getting desired results. Emerson and Carlyle hadmuch the same aims in trying to reform nineteenth century ways of thinking. Yet their methods were not thesame, for the two men were of different natures. As onehas said, Emerson loved good while Carlyle hated evil.The benignant, tolerant, persuasive American probablyaccomplished more than did the scolding, combativeScotchman. As a question in history it might be asked,what would have been the effect in sixteenth centuryEurope had there prevailed the views and methods ofErasmus, the tolerant pacifist — compromiser or trimmerhe has been sarcastically called — rather than those of theimpetuous, intolerant, belligerent Luther. Would theworld have been better off or worse? The question isunanswerable, of course.Nor are satisfactory results readily obtained if oneassumes an air of condescending superiority akin to whatProfessor Millett has aptly called "a state of intellectualand spiritual arrogance." This spirit begets resentment,narrow and narrowing views concerning social relations,, art, ethics, religion.There are limits to what may justly be asked of tolerance. One cannot be expected to overlook downrightlying, planned murder, wanton robbery, riotous suppression of free speech, or other flagrant violations ofthe law of the people. Even Jesus, the supremely tolerant, who from the cross cried in anguish : "Father, forgive them for they know not what they do," even Jesushad in righteous anger driven the money changers fromthe Temple.Tolerance does not connote indifference nor inactiveacquiescence. Tolerance implies an open mind, to besure. But an open mind, as has been wittily said, is likean open mouth. When a morsel of food has entered,quite naturally the mouth closes and mastication begins.So when ideas have entered an open mind it may properly be closed to the end that meditation, decision andaction may follow. The late Justice Cardozo expressedmuch the same idea when he referred to "an invertebratehabit of mind which thinks it is impartial because it isundecided and which regards the judicial attitude as thatwhich refrains from judging." .The patience and gentleness of a tolerant personshould not be interpreted as a sign of weakness or lack ofindependent thinking.

Over 190 freshmen— more thanany year since 1932 — pledged fraternities at the closeof intensive rushing week. The size of the average classwas twelve and no house received fewer than nine inen.This is symptomatic of something other than a revivedfraternity system. It is symptomatic of a better-roundedfreshman class — a class composed of students interestedin extra-curricular as well as intellectual pursuits; aclass which wants to make the University a place ofsocial as well as intellectual development.Activities, pressed for student workers the past several years, have drawn heavily upon this year's freshmanclass for support. The freshman class, under the organized leadership of the freshman council, has not onlysupplied many individuals to bolster activities but hasplanned such affairs as the joint dance with Northwestern a couple of weeks ago where the Northwestern-Chicago feud was supposedly buried with pomp andceremony. At the same time they have displayed ahealthy interest in acquiring knowledge and organizedsupplementary discussions in the college courses.The organization of under-graduate activities came infor an attack when Dorothy Overlock, herself a club girl,resigned from the Student Social Committee, charging itwas dominated by fraternities and clubs. The Maroon,in an accompanying editorial, denounced the committeefor failing to set up a federated organization with representatives on it from all campus organizations.Miss Overlock's sincerity cannot be doubted. Thejustification she gives for her action may be questioned,however, on the grounds that the change she advocatesis impractical and not desired even by those who wouldtheoretically benefit from it.Last fall an attempt was made by a group of students,including this correspondent, to have the social committee adopt a federated form. A meeting was announcedwhere such a federation would be discussed with thesocial committee. Leaders of organizations who wouldsupposedly participate in such federation were personallycontacted and asked to attend.The meeting came off as scheduled with one organization besides the social committee and the publicationsrepresented. One can hardly blame the social committeefor being skeptical of the enthusiasm for such a change.The other criticism of the social committee came fromthose who want it to be a more comprehensive body —those who want it to plan the social calendar for the entire campus. It is my belief that this same group wouldsoon be demanding freedom from an undesirable centralization of authority and need not be considered. It ishard to see why there should be such planning whenthe present registration in the Dean's office serves as anadequate check on conflicts between major events. So much then, for the criticism of the social committee and student social set-up. It is undemocratic — butbecause democracy is neither desired nor feasible whereinterests are so heterogeneous and time so limited as onthe University campus. It is dominated by fraternitiesand clubs — but because its activities patterns coincidewith those of fraternity and club members more thanwith those of independents. It refuses to become federated — but because it has no reason to believe the campus really wants such a federation.The Committee planned its greatest party of the yearthis month and on Tuesday evening, February 21, thetraditional Washington Prom was held in Bartlett gymnasium. The committee disguised the hall with blackand white draperies, provided the proper setting for Jimmie Lunceford's nationally famous orchestra to play fora record crowd of over 400 couples.The campus, becoming more and more involved inpolitics through the activities of its professors, wastreated to more excitement this month when the DailyMaroon exposed twelve "bookie joints" flourishing inthe University "community." Some of the "joints"proved to be rather distant from the center of the "community" but coming as it did in the middle of the mayoralty candidates' fight about protected vice, it providedthe University with plenty of breakfast table conversation — and the metropolitan press with plenty of copy.The Political Union, local storm center of nationalissues, took advantage of its annual election to reorganize along national party lines rather than the conservative, liberal, radical divisions of last year. In a campus-wide election to determine the allotment of seats theConservative coalition of Conservative Democrats andRepublicans made the largest gains, followed by theNew Deal party which also showed gains over the oldliberal party, while the radical group showed a proportional loss.In a straw vote for mayor, conducted at the same time,the Union found Dwight Green, '20, J.D/22, to be thefavorite candidate for mayor. He polled 246 votes andwas closely followed by Mayor Kelly who polled 225.The drive to raise money for maintenance of foreignrefugee scholars at the University continued and a totalof over $3,000 has been pledged in two weeks. Chancesof meeting the $10,000 goal set are not very bright butit is likely that the $5,000 asked by the University of theCommittee will be attained and possibly slightly exceeded.Europe's affairs found expression in campus circleswith the arrival of Dr. Eduard Benes, ex-president ofCzecho-slovakia. Only students were allowed at his firstlecture in Mandel Hall, and a capacity crowd of 1400which over-flowed into the Reynolds Club, came to hearthe dapper little scholar begin his series of lectures onDemocracy in Europe.9DEMAGOGUES, DISCIPLINE ANDDemocracy; Second Prize Winner in Manuscript Contest•By HELEN CODY BAKER '12THEY would rather follow aleader into hell and destruction than figure things outfor themselves. They want discipline. They want a crusade. Theywant to be told what to do. We arenot giving them what they want inour tolerant, broadminded colleges.We must provide the discipline andleadership that they demand from us,before the demagogues rise up togive it to them."The handsome young professor ofan eastern college concluded his address on Youth and Fascism, thenstood smiling before us to receive ourapplause. We gave, it generously.He had challenged us, entertained us,subtly flattered us* and hadn't boredus for a minute. Then a thousandmen and women pushed back theirchairs and headed for the checkrooms. From their faces, and fromscraps of conversation overheard onthe way out, I felt sure that theyounger parents were going straighthome to spank the baby and that themajority, who were of my generation, were equally determined to takewhatever action seemed appropriateto the age their children had reached."There, Henry," a middle-agedwoman remarked to her middle-aged husband, as wewaited in line for our coats, "I do hope that will stiffenup your spine.""Well, he certainly gave us a lot to think about,"Henry admitted complacently. "Maybe I ought to bea little more hard boiled about that new car."I could only guess what the rest of. the audience werethinking, except for what went on in two heads andhearts. On the way home my husband and I went overthat speech, point by point. We questioned, at eachstep, "Is that true?" "Is he right?" When we hadtalked it all over we felt that he was very wrong indeed,and that we had listened to dangerous doctrine. I shalltry to put our reasons on paper. It may help us tosee our own path more clearly. It may even interestother parents who are exposed to similar arguments andwho ask themselves — as thoughtful parents must' —whether we really are on the wrong track with the boysand girls to whom we shall soon hand over this businessof living in the modern world.On his first point, we agreed with him."Youth today," he told us, "is more serious, moreHELEN CODY BAKER, '12Helen Cody Baker sold her first story to theChicago Daily News in 1906. She still contributes a weekly column. She has written for the Atlantic Monthly, lectures atGeorge Williams College and Northwesternand is a contributing editor of Survey Magazine. Since 1921 she has been PublicitySecretary of the Chicago Council of SocialAgencies. Mrs. Baker was an Esoteric, hasa daughter in the University now. honest, more truly religious, moresincerely appreciative of scholarshipthan ever before in our history."Now that we believe to be true.At least we know it to be true of tworepresentatives of the two generationswe know the most about. I shallhave to stick to these two people andto the University of Chicago campusif I am to speak with any authority,but I believe the two young womenby whom we tested that openingstatement to be fairly typical of theirtimes and place.The twentieth century was youngwhen one of these girls entered college, and the University was young.The Blackfriars song hits of herfreshman year were "My Heart Belongs on the Midway" and "Shine onMidway Moon." She was a credulous youngster, and swallowed thesesentiments uncritically, though the"vine clad walls" she sang aboutwere few and far between, and mostof her classes were held in squat littlered brick Lexington, where the University publications live now. The"rows of the elm trees" that led "toour great inland sea" were newlyplanted twigs, frail and funny whenthe east wind bent them double; andthe "city gray" was a scattered handful of gaunt buildings, with windswept space between. We had Cobb,of course, and Ryerson, and the women's dorms fromBeecher through Foster, and a few more. But thecampus as we know it today was still a dream on paper.Against that background this freshman girl shuttledfrom French witli Elizabeth Wallace, to English withEdith Foster Flint to "History of the Renaissance" witha tall, dark, saturnine young man whose name she hasforgotten. (He had a shoe brush hair cut, and his lectures fell into beautifully neat outlines in her note book).She was mildly interested in what she heard in thesecourses, but she hadn't a scrap of intellectual curiosityand it never once occurred to her that they had thefaintest relationship to each other. She absorbed asmattering of uncoordinated information, and remembered a lot of it. She was no scholar, but she got fairlygood grades because she never cut classes. Nice girlsdidn't.She wouldn't have crossed the street to hear a politicalcandidate speak. Women didn't vote. She knew nothing, and cared less, about the Europe of her day and10THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINE 11ao-e. She went to college, as she had gone to highschool, because it was the thing to do. She went tochurch in the same way, and believed what she heardthere. There were members of the faculty, in her day,who might have disturbed her religious credulity, butshe never stumbled into their classes. There were seriousstudents among her classmates. She privately regardedthem as a bit on the queer side.She fell in love, with much romantic fluttering, readSonnets From the Portuguese and wrote feeble imitations of .them; but she never went out with a man un-chaperoned and her ignorance of the forces that pulledher into love and out and in again was so profoundthat modern youth would find it comic, or tragic, orpathetic. She would never have admitted it (nice girlsdidn't) but in her heart she knew that she was markingtime and accepting instruction while she waited for thereally important business of life to begin. This occurredbefore the University could give her the degree whichshe cared very little about, and — being perfectly disciplined and not lacking in leadership — she happily tookthe next step in the design for living which her eldershad drawn for her. She married and began to bring upa family; and she was about as ready for it as a blindkitten.Compare her, please, with the girl I know best at theUniversity of Chicago today. She is no scholar, either ;but she respects scholarship. She cuts some classes.because nobody cares very much whether she gets toher eight o'clock or not; but she has learned by experience that it is wiser to get to it most of the time; andthe classes she doesn't cut send her home lighted upinside and eager to talk about them. In her HumanitiesSurvey she watched the pageant of civilization unrollas she learned that today grows out of yesterday andinto tomorrow. She will never be a scientist, but shehas absorbed the principles of the scientific method; testand try> doubt and prove. She lives by these principles.She stands in crowded rooms where every seat is filledto hear Paul Douglas talk about Czechoslovakia; shedrags her parents over to Mandel Hall to hear NormanThomas ; she has a pretty good working knowledge ofthe political and economic set up in which she lives ; sheknows enough about international relations to know thatshe knows very little, and to want to know more.She is bound by no creed, and her church attendanceis erratic, but she believes in the brotherhood of manand in the hope of equal opportunity for children. Shehas a" deep reverence for Something which she wouldrather not name, because she distrusts labels. She hasfew illusions, boundless energy, and the saving grace ofhumor. She is not waiting for life to begin. She isliving.With every allowance for individuality of capacityand temperament, we believe that the girl of an earliergeneration was the product of the kind of discipline andleadership our speaker was recommending. We believethat the second girl is the way she is because two bewildered young parents, a generation ago, realized theirignorance about bringing up children and began— forthe first time in their lives — -seriously to study somethingthat they cared a great deal about. They began with Montessori and progressed painfully, by the trial anderror method, until they wound up at the University ofChicago where the New Plan seemed to promise fulfillment of much that they had tested.Looking — as objectively as parents may — on the product of this process, they can see where they might havedone better. But in general they can agree that thepresent generation is more serious, more thoughtful,more truly reverent than their own. They cannot followthe speaker further because it seems to them that hisnext step would destroy the very system which has produced this generation. In more words than I can useto summarize it, his argument went on:"They are splendidly equipped, but listless andapathetic because they have no crusade. There is nothing they will fight for. The youth of Germany and Italylack our splendid educational opportunities, but theyare happy because they have learned obedience to discipline and because they have causes for which they willfight and die. We have failed to give our youth thethings that the dictators are giving theirs: discipline andleadership."Here we come to grips wTith that speaker. We do notfind youth listless and apathetic — not the youth we know.Every political party and many "isms" have followingson the University of Chicago campus. They have noone cause, because they have many causes. We findthis a wholesome and a hopeful sign. We believe it isdemocracy's defense against the demagogues. We aregrateful for the healthy scepticism that breeds suspicionof cure-alls. We watch them following not one, butmany leaders — and only so far as the leader seems tothem wise and right. This challenges us, as parentsand teachers. It is better for us, and better for them,than meek acceptance of doctrines which we ourselves may never have questioned.Of course they aren't completely "happy." What asilly word. What a silly notion — that any one ought tobe happy in the kind of world we are handing on tothem. Of course they aren't getting just what they"want." Who is? Of course they would like to berelieved of the burden of thinking things out for themselves. Wouldn't you? Wouldn't I? But we shouldfail them if we denied them this opportunity. True, thenecessity for exercising judgment is not the usual conception of discipline. It is not the kind of disciplinethat was given us. Perhaps we were a happier generation. At least we had, in our time, one brief season ofalmost perfect happiness, when we followed our leadersblindly into a war to end war — a cause we were willingto fight and die for — a crusade for which our earliertraining had admirably prepared us. Have we forgottenso soon how ardently we enlisted in that crusade, andwhat happened to us afterward?It would be the crowning folly of our generation if,having prepared these children, step by step, to maketheir own decisions, we should now try to stampedethem into an emotional crusade. The crowning folly,and perhaps the crowning failure — for I have faith thatwe should fail. But suppose that we should succeed?We might, you know. For young men and women of(Continued on Page 14)IN MY OPINIONBy FRED B. MILLETT, PhD'31, Visiting Professor of English, Wesleyan UniversityIN the January issue of this magazine, I made an attempt to analyze the motives that underlie book-collecting. Last month, I sketched the history of myown book-buying in the field of English literature. Theselittle excursions were of considerable interest to myselfand, I hope, to some of my readers. At any rate, therare-book dealers whose catalogues Iquoted have been gratified by the publicity I gave their offerings. But thesespeculations on book-collecting generally and on the history of my own library were intended to be no morethan preliminary justifications of certain types of collecting that, I believe,should be undertaken much more conscientiously than is customary inAmerica.The types of collecting that I havein mind are autobiographical, genealogical, and institutional. Of the three,the first is perhaps the least easy tojustify. But it has long been one ofmy convictions that everyone who attains a degree of literacy or self-consciousness ought to write his autobiography. The narrowest justificationfor such an undertaking is the clarification and illumination that, result from a systematic attempt to recount one's experience, to discover its implications, andto evaluate its significance. It might even be desirableto write a series of autobiographical studies, concernedwith one's emotional, intellectual, social, and professional experience. Such a project, if carried out systematically and frankly, would have a value far greaterthan the personal therapy of confession. When one.considers how little one knows of the inner lives of hisparents, and much less of his grandparents, it is easy tosee the high domestic value that any honest and intimaterecord might have. There is the further possibility thatsuch a record might in time have some significance as acontribution to the social history in which the autiobiog-rapher played an obscure role.More people should, I believe, be encouraged to collect records of their experience as material for autobiography. The more official records — of degrees andhonors, of appointments^ and promotions — though theyassist in establishing chrpnology and in marking themilestones in one's career, are of much less importancethan more personal records, of places visited, personsknown, music heard, plays seen, and books read. Ofeven greater value are diaries, journals, and letters. Letters are becoming of increasing significance in a periodwhen less and less letter-writing is being done. I don'tsuppose that it was a typical freshman who at the endof two months in college had not written home once, buthe is symptomatic of the general decline in the habit ofwriting letters. The frequent writing of elaborate per-FRED B. MILLETTsonal letters requires a sense of leisure and freedom fromdistraction, both circumstances increasingly hard to comeby in our bustling lives of inconsecutive and noisy activity. ( Probably business correspondence has multipledas personal correspondence has fallen off, but the business correspondence I receive is singularly deficient inbiographical or psychological interest.)For the purpose I have in mind, letters must be not only written but preserved, and the conditions of modernurban life make the preservation ofhundreds and hundreds of letters almost impossible. A generation ago,when most literate families in smallcities and towns had an almost endless amount of closet and attic space,it was simple and easy to preserve agreat variety of family mementos,from grandmother's wedding-dress andnight-cap to piles of Peterson's Magazine with its spreads of gorgeouslycolored fashion-plates. Today, thepreservation of one's correspondencerequires both determination and ingenuity. I still hope to have a houselarge enough to permit the chronological arrangement in easily manageable box-files of all theletters I have saved. Such an epistolary museum mightencourage the practice of a little harmless blackmail!An allied variety of collecting of which far too littleis done in America is the genealogical. It is shocking tocontemplate how little most of us know of the historyof our families in America or in the country from whichthey came. Our excessively nomadic existence and thepersistence, until a recent date, of pioneering conditionshave discouraged the collecting of family records and encouraged the breaking of ties with one's family past.Only in America, one fancies, could there be found ayoung man who, in applying for a marriage license, hadto confess that he did not know his mother's maidenname or whether or not she had ever had any brothers!Apparently, a considerable degree of social stability isnecessary for the development of much curiosity aboutone's remote or immediate ancestors or of much industry in the accumulation of family records. I have nodata on the geographical distribution of American genealogists, but probably the genealogical passion humorously attributed to New Englanders and Virginians hassome basis in fact. On the other hand, an interest infamily history may be an acquired characteristic. Ihave been astonished to learn that persons of my father'sname in places as widely scattered as New York, Arizona, and Nebraska, share the genealogical curiosity Imay have acquired from him. Only the other day, Icame upon an almost forgotten product of my high-schooldays, a genealogy of the descendants, male and female,of my maternal great-grand-parents. There, the births,12THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINE 13marriages and deaths of the last thirty years demand tobe recorded.In the case of family records, as in the case of autobiographical records, it is much less important to accumulate vital statistics, for which there are likely to bereliable official documents for recent generations, thanto preserve more personal and subjective records — letters, photographs, paintings, and other intimate mementos. I have seen carefully preserved pieces of wedding cake, pressed flowers from funeral pieces, locks ofhair, and even coffin plates — surely among the moregruesome of domestic souvenirs.One can depend on the occasional appearance in almostevery family of some individual whose self-absorption orpride in family will motivate the accumulation of autobiographical, or genealogical records. There is perhapsless likelihood of the appearance of individuals interested in institutional collecting. By "institutional collecting," I mean, of course, the systematic accumulationof records and mementos pertinent to the history, not ofan individual or family, but of a. social organization likea club or church, a college or university. The reasonsfor the comparative infrequency of institutional collecting-is perhaps psychological. One's connection with an institution, however close and devoted it may be, is lessintimate than one's connection with oneself or one's family, and in this relationship the self -regarding and self-aggrandizing motives operate less vigorously. If institutional collecting is far commoner in older institutionsthan in younger, the reason perhaps is that the institution with a longer history has developed a more definitepersonality with which it is possible to develop a senseof intimate rapport. Stability and continuity encouragethe development of the historical sense, not only in families, but in institutions.Certainly anyone modestly familiar with the institutional collecting done by our older academic colleges anduniversities will be struck by the absence of such activityat so youthful a university as Chicago. I think, forexample, of the shelves of Harvard records in the stacksat Widener, the full and interesting collection of Yaleauthors at New Haven, the Hitchcock Memorial Roomat Amherst, and the two rooms full of Wesleyana recently opened in the Olin Library here. Certainly thetime is ripe for the formulation of a policy and a program for institutional collecting at Chicago. The University is still young enough to make the accumulationof its official and unofficial records no insuperable orimpossible task, and its prestige is sufficiently great towarrant this expression of pride in its history.Such a program might be modest or ambitious. Inany case, its objectives ought to be clear from the start,and the responsibility for carrying out the program oughtto be definitely centered. Obviously the first desideratum in such a collection would be the University's official records of its history, in the form of catalogues,time-schedules, biographical and bibliographical reports,and administrative records. How many such completesets of records exist at the University I do not know,but I have been told that the Divinity School does nothave a complete collection of its official publications, andthat a complete collection of University records was given to Cornell by a Chicago alumnus who believedthat his own University did not want them.There ought also to be a systematic collection and careful cataloguing of the photographic history of the University. I suppose that the Publicity Office is the mostfully supplied with photographic records, but so far asI know, no single member of the University staff has asone of his duties the collecting and cataloguing of University photographs. That such records can be of thegreatest interest was borne in on me recently when I waslooking at a series of pictures of the Wesleyan of sixtyyears ago. When I admired the quality of the photographs, I was told that they had been made by Pach,who afterwards became one of America's most distinguished makers of camera portraits.Of even greater importance for the unofficial historyof the University is the vigilant accumulation of ephemeral records of undergraduate and graduate activities.Certain phases of such activity are, I suppose, well represented. I imagine that the Athletic Department hasa large collection of records and mementos of intercollegiate sports, and the collection made by Frank O'Harafor the Dramatic Association has a significance and valuethat, are not merely local. The most sorely neglectedfield of collection is that of undergraduate publication.Full files of the Daily Maroon and the Cap and Gownare, I assume, on the shelves of Harper Library, but Iam more concerned with such ephemeral publicationsas The Circle, Pulse, Tower Topics, The Burton Courtier, and its unofficial rival, Our Tuesday Visitor. Someone should likewise be on the spot to collect programsof undergraduate events and those proclamations andbroadsides that appear spasmodically in periods of undergraduate excitement over one or another cause.But the official and unofficial records of the history ofthe University by no means constitute a full account ofits history and influence. Any adequate collection of institutional material should include as complete as possiblebiographical and literary records of the life and workof its faculty and alumni. Almost no member of thefaculty is so churlish, mean-spirited, or impervious toflattery that he would not be willing to give at least onecopy of each of his books and articles to an official collection of faculty publications. The alumni furnishTasomewhat more difficult problem. It is certainly of greatimportance to an educational institution that it shouldknow what becomes of the students on whom it hasconferred degrees. At present, the responsibility forcollecting alumni records rests, I believe, in the AlumniOffice. From time to time staff members clip biographical data from Chicago newspapers. It is almost inconceivable that the University should not subscribe to a halfdozen important papers in various parts of the country,and that these papers should not be scanned systematically for biographical data concerning alumni.Most difficult of all perhaps would be the collectingof a library of Chicago alumni-authors. Such a collection would represent in tangible form the amount andquality of Chicago-alumni contributions to literature,science, and scholarship. It would moreover furnishstudents at Chicago impressive evidence of the Univers-14 THE UNIVERSITY OF C PI I CAGO MAGAZINEity's connection with a large number of popular or distinguished writers. The making of such a collectionwould not be an impossible task. Many alumni-authorswould be proud to contribute their works to such a library. In the case of the more recalcitrant, the policyadopted here at Wesleyan might work. The UniversityLibrarian might offer to purchase one copy of an alumniproduction on condition that a gift-copy should be presented by the author.But whether a simple or elaborate program of institutional collecting is adopted at Chicago, there ought to bea program and central responsibility and control of aprogram. Since most of the items in the collection —(Continuedknow what taxonomy is? I have not used the word today, but no matter — 't is a good word. Spell it, MissFaulkenau. . . .

But if in the spirit ofthe brotherhood of man we can see in others resemblances that draw together, rather than differences thatestrange; if we can find some good even in the moraloutcast ; if we pray for the gift to see ourselves as otherssee us ; if we realize that our cherished opinions of todaymay be proven wrong tomorrow; if we recognize thatintolerance begets intolerance and misunderstanding,while tolerance begets charity and understanding thatopen the way for helpful service; if we keep all thesethings in mind it will surely bring nearer the day of the"good life." aside from souvenirs and mementos — are printed wordsor, photographs, the responsibility for such a collectionwould logically fall on the University Librarian or somemember of his staff. Such a person, working with anadvisory committee of members of the faculty trained inthe accumulation of documents, could easily coordinateand extend the collecting now being done incoherentlyand irresponsibly at Chicago. The housing of such acollection is another problem. The gaping shelves ofthe Judson Court Library might offer a temporaryrefuge. But it would be far better to store such a collection away in packing boxes than that it should notbe made at all.Demagogues(Continued from Page 11)the age our speaker was considering are now at the mostdifficult and vulnerable time of life. All that they havelearned is about to be tested by new experience. Mostof them have not yet found steady stars to follow. Ifwe stand by them through this time they will find theirown causes, in work and play and love and worship.Not one star, but many. And not our stars. Their own.We can, at least, give them this by way of leadership :we can hold fast to the truth that we have learned— thatdiscipline is never an end in itself, but is only valuableas it teaches us to think honestly and act wisely. Wecan hold fast to our faith that, from babyhood on, wiseparents and teachers must not only allow but createopportunities for the use of judgment, widening theseopportunities until a child stands on its own two feetand walks alone; and that the best discipline of all isthat which we impose upon ourselves, for ends in whichwe believe.This is not an easy way to be a parent. It is not theeasiest way for children. It is a long, slow road. Butwhile we follow it youth will never, we believe, bestampeded into the "hell and destruction" through whichour speaker feared the demagogues might lead them.Sketch of Freddy Starrfrom Page 8)Department are welcome.

The fencers havecompleted their schedule of dual meets and await theconference meet, one of three Big Ten meets which willbe going on simultaneously in Chicago March 10 and 11.The other meets are indoor track and wrestling. Purdue is playing host to the swimming meet this year, andthe gymnastics event is in Urbana. Water polo andbasketball, scored on a percentage basis, do not involvemeets.The water polo team has only one more engagement— with Illinois, in Urbana — standing between it and anuncontested conference championship. Illinois, however,is "not bad," to make use of the Anglo-Saxon understatement, and may cause Coach McGillivray's squadtrouble.

GenialCo-captain Charles Corbett, who fences painstakinglyin epee (mercurochrome-tipped duelling sword), has lostonce.Similar skill is in evidence here and there in othersports. Captain Ed Valorz, of the wrestling team, forexample, has not lost a match. He has won all but oneof his contests, at 175 pounds, by falls.Another grand-slam performer is Jim Anderson, whohas won the breast stroke event in each of the swimming meets, usually without having to turn on fullsteam. His best time in any meet this season was againstSahlman, of Minnesota^ when he swam the 200 yardsin 2 :32.5. This is only three and one-tenth secondsslower than Higgins, of Ohio State, swam in winningthe Big Ten meet last year.Erwin Beyer, captain of the gymnastics squad, haswon first place on the parallel bars in every meet. Intwo meets, against Iowa and in the first Minnesota contest, he won all the events.Burly Hugh Rendleman, sophomore shot heaver, isthe only Maroon representative to win his event inevery track meet so far. This does not include theIllinois relay carnival, in which the only Chicago entrant to win a place was Ed Davidson. Davidson wassecond only to Wisconsin's Big Ten champion MiltonPadway in the pole vault.FIELD HOUSE FRANKENSTEINThe Chicago tennis team has a gadget. Odd mornings in the gloomy recesses of the Field House, CoachWally Hebert uses it on his Big Ten championshipsquad, which includes three of the top five men in therecently announced western sectional rankings.The robot fires 800 balls across the net in an hour —Yancey T. Blade, inveterate Maroon follower, countedup to 266 balls in twenty minutes and then went homefor a long nap. It has eight speeds forward ; can dishup serves, lobs, and drop shots, and is never guilty ofa foot fault.The device also brushes up the knap on well-wornballs. It has not yet, however, got the hang of whichMurphy is which.PAROTID EMBARRASSMENTAn acute inflammation and swelling of the parotidglands, as the medical men have it, took Chet Murphyfrom the Chicago basketball lineup for the Illinois andWisconsin games.

It willbe recalled that one of his plans for cooperation, theconsolidation of Chicago and Northwestern, was regarded in certain quarters as so revolutionary a movement that the resulting outburst of astonishment andanguish caused its abandonment. But another phase ofthis cooperative plan for education is shortly to come tocomplete fulfillment.Seven years ago this April, having just been informedthat the University of Texas had received a million dollar bequest for an astronomical observatory, Mr.Hutchins picked up his telephone. The University ofChicago had a young and brilliant group of astronomers,headed by Dr. Otto Struve, who were without a peer.But the Yerkes Observatory of the University, with its40-inch reflecting telescope which had been a marvel ofthe 1893 World's Fair, was no longer adequate for theneeds of modern astronomers. To keep his astronomers,President Hutchins had to provide them with the necessary equipment, and a new observatory can't be boughtout through a Sears, Roebuck catalogue. The University of Texas had enough to equip and maintain a firstclass observatory, but it would have to find other moneyto provide a competent staff, if it could find them.When President Hutchins got President H. Y. Benedict of Texas on the telephone the logic of the answerwas so apparent that the deal was made in a few minutes.Texas would put its money into equipment; the University would put its money into its staff. The arrangement made it possible to build a telescope almost perfectfor research purposes, and to man it with scientists ableto make the big investment productive.The physical task of building the new observatory, inan ideal location on the peak of 6,791-foot Mt. Lockeof the Davis mountains in southwestern Texas, was aslow one. The state helped speed the work by cuttingthrough a new road, and the great dome and the accessory buildings, including houses for the staff, were completed three years ago. Even before that time, observations were carried out on Mt. Locke through the use ofone of the small Yerkes telescopes and such newly invented instruments as the Schmitt camera.Contract for the observatory was awarded to the Warner & Swasey Company of Cleveland. Exacting specifications were made by Dr. Struve for the mounting, acomplicated mechanism, and the 82-inch mirror. Themirror was cast of pyrex glass on the last day of 1933,and after it had cooled gradually for several months,was shipped to Cleveland. Four years of almost constantwork were required to grind the surface to an accuracyof one-millionth of an inch, a degree of perfection neverbefore attained for comparable instruments. In the last • By WILLIAM V. MORGENSTERN, '20, JD '22week of February, the mirror was lifted through the observatory roof and placed in its mounting.Early in May the dedication of the MacDonald Observatory will bring a great convocation of scientists toMt. Locke. President Hutchins will be there to speakon "The Cooperative Enterprise," but he will need noarguments to convince the scientific world that the ideaworks. Lamentably, Dr. Benedict, himself an astronomer, died before the agreement became reality. Dr.Struve, who has directed a brilliant program of researchat Yerkes while struggling with the problems of planning and building MacDonald, says : "The cooperativeagreement has been in operation for more than sevenyears and has proved to be entirely successful."BENES ON THE QUADRANGLESThe University's distinguished visiting professor, former President Eduard Benes of Czechoslovakia, has beenon the quadrangles since February 15. A conscientiousfaculty member, Dr. Benes arrived with lectures forhis two courses completely prepared, having devotedalmost all his time to that job since he accepted the appointment. The Alumni Clubs of New York sponsoredhis formal introduction to the United States at a dinneron February 11, at which Dr. Benes made his first address in this country; the careful planning of Mrs. FrankVanderlip, '02, and Cyrus LeRoy Baldridge, '11, resulted in a highly successful party.In Chicago, Dr. Benes's presentation to the city wasmade by the University at the Civic Opera House, where3,000 alumni and friends heard Dr. Benes speak. Except for two public lectures at the Auditorium theatreunder the auspices of University College, Dr. Benes'saudiences have been students only. Some 1500 of themhave been hearing his series of ten weekly lectures inMandel Hall, which are "piped" into the Reynolds Clubfor the overflow, and fifty graduate students are attending his seminar course.Both Dr. and Mrs. Benes, charming and cordialpeople who practice the democracy in which the formerpresident so passionately believes, accepted the strainand turmoil of news-reels, photographers, interviewers,and crowds with enviable poise and unfailing courtesy.The excitement has died down now, and Dr. Benes ishaving to some extent the quiet of academic life. Aprofound scholar, he fits easily into the Universityworld, devoting much of his time to discussion with hiscolleagues. He will make a trip to California in thevacation period of March 15 to 27, and then returnhere to complete his quarter of residence the middle ofMay. In July, he will be back the week of the fifthto participate in the Norman Waite Harris MemorialFoundation institute.16THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINEThe Charles R. Walgreen Foundation for the study0f American institutions, on which Dr. Benes wasbrought to the Midway, was also responsible for thepresence for two weeks of Mr. Walter Lippmann, whorepeated his visit of last year the last week of Februaryand the first of March.CHARLES CRANE DIESCharles R. Crane, one of the firm friends of the University, and the man who made possible the visit of Dr.Thomas G. Masaryk, first president of Czechoslovakia,to the University in 1901-03, an appointment which indirectly brought Dr. Benes here, died in California onFebruary 15. Mr. Crane was one of that notable groupwhich included his friends, Martin A. Ryerson, andCharles L. Hutchinson, to whose direct aid and warmsupport the University owes so much. The interest ofMr. Crane established and supported the University'swork in Slavic, and brought not only Dr. Masaryk butother eminent Slavs to the University, including PaulMiliukov, the distinguished Russian historian, andMaxim Kovalevsky, Russian sociologist, to Chicago inthe early years of the century.Mr. Crane founded the chair of Russian Language andInstitutions, now held by Professor Samuel N. Harper.With his brother, Richard T. Crane, he provided $250,-000 to establish the Richard T. Crane DistinguishedService Professorship in Medicine, held by Dr. FredericW. Schlutz, chairman of the department of pediatrics.The University's participation in the famous Marine Biological Laboratory at Woods Hole, Massachusetts, wasfinanced by Mr. Crane. Through the Institute of Current World Affairs which Mr. Crane founded and endowed, the University has received many other important gifts. Mr. Crane's interest in the University wasbut one of many in a busy life of public service andactivity, which included the position of Minister toChina, membership on President Wilson's Committee toRussia in 1917, and Commissioner on Mandates in Turkey.TAWNEY APPOINTMENTThe international character and scope of the University's work will be further demonstrated this spring,when Dr. Richard Henry Tawney, England's outstanding economic historian, comes here as visiting professor.Professor of economic history at London University, heis regarded as one of the dozen most influential men inEngland because of his writings, participation in the labormovement, contributions on international relations, andhis services to education. He was president of theExecutive Workers' Educational Association between1928-1936; a member of the Coal Industry Commission, 1919, and a member of the Economic AdvisoryCouncil, 1929-1931. Dr. Tawney also is a dominantfigure in the British Labor Party.His writings include "The Agrarian Problem in theSixteenth Century"; "English Economic History,""The Acquisitive Society," "Religion and the Rise ofCapitalism, Equality," and "Law and Labor in China."He will present three public lectures in Mandel Hall thelate afternoons of March 29, April 5 and 12, on "Democracy on the Defensive," "Democracy and the International Situation," and "Democracy and Social Policy."

Director Carl F. Huth of the summersession put his bulky "Announcements" in the mailsabout the time the seed catalogues were released.Divided into two terms, June 21 to July 21, and July 24to August 25, the summer quarter program offers 704courses, to be presented by 457 members of the facultyand some thirty outstanding visiting professors.A large proportion of the summer students arespecialists, interested in definite problems, and in recentyears the program therefore has included numerousspecial institutes and conferences to which the departmental courses are keyed. This year there will betwelve such institutes, and two "educational workshops."The institutes include, among others, the thirteenth annual Institute for Administrative Officers of HigherInstitutions, the Conference of Administrative Officersof Public and Private Schools, the Fourth Institute ofLibrarians in Service, Symposium on Cosmic Rays,Conference and Seminar on the Calculus of Variations,Conference on Reading Problems, the Harris Foundation Institute, and the Sixth Conference on BusinessEducation.Among the notable visiting professors will be CharlesFrederick Tucker Brooke, Sterling professor of Englishat Yale University, who will hold the Frederick IvesCarpenter Visiting Professorship; Henry Steele Commager, one of the nation's leading general historians,from New York University, who will be Hammill Visiting Professor ; Charles F. Brooks, director of the BlueHill Observatory of Harvard University; Nathan Clifford Grover, chief hydraulic engineer of the UnitedStates Geological Survey; Edmund Wilson, authorityon Dickens; John Edward Anderson, director of theInstitute of Child Welfare in the University of Minnesota; Theodore William Schultz, head of the department of economics and sociology, Iowa State College ;Robert Lowry Calhoun, professor of historical theology,Yale University; Milburn L. Wilson, under secretaryof the United States Department of Agriculture.Most, extensive of the departmental programs will bethat in education, with 34 faculty members teaching 71courses. The "educational workshops" will be in secondary education and in higher education. Under thedirection of M. L. Harturig, associate director of theEvaluations Project of the Progressive Education Association and Ralph W. Tyler, head of the University'sdepartment of education, and with the assistance ofexperts in many fields, the workshops will provideguidance for teachers interested in working out problems of curriculum and evaluation for u&e in theirschools. Enrollment in the secondary education workshop will be limited to 180; that in higher educationto 100. C H I C A G O MA G AZINEJAEGER LEAVESReference was made in this section last month to theproblems confronting the University in maintaining ablepersonnel in the faculty. In the interval, the Universityhas learned that it will lose Dr. Werner Jaeger, EdwardOlson Professor of Greek, and the world's outstanding-classical scholar, to Harvard. Dr. Jaeger came herethree years ago, from Germany; he will assume at Harvard next autumn a "university professorship," otherwise known as a "roving professorship" which does nottie him to any department and leaves him free to determine his own schedule. At Harvard, Dr. Jaeger willbe interested in developing the unifying element of theclassics in many departments, an effort which he believes may serve as a remedial influence on over-departmentalization and over-specialization of most universityplans of organization. Every possible effort was madeto retain Dr. Jaeger, but this was one of the times whenthe behind-the-scenes campaign was unsuccessful. Inannouncing his decision, Dr. Jaeger took especial painsto say that the choice was a hard one because of hiscompletely happy relationships here.ROUND TABLE ANNIVERSARYOn Lincoln's birthday, the University of ChicagoRound Table started its ninth year on the air. The pastyear saw it improve its position as one of the majorbroadcasting programs, with an increasing audience anda wider acceptance as one of the constructive contributions to the presentation of important issues.

At the outset Dr.Jewett saw to it that fundamental theorywas attacked— that the scientists underhis direction were not limited to solutions of purely commercial problems.The mechanism of hearing and speaking was studied, with the result that anew world was opened to philologists,laryngologists and otologists. In aword, scientific investigations were conducted that should have been undertaken in the laboratories of medicalschools. Out of this work have comemore efficient telephones and loudspeakers, electric boons to aid the deaf andenable those who have lost their larynxes through surgical operation totalk.When men of Dr. Jewett's type resigned their professional chairs thirtyyears ago to direct industrial laboratories a shudder ran through universities. "Pure" science was sullyingitself. Now the industrial laboratorieshave taken the lead in many a branchof theoretical physics and chemistry,and professors yearn for the equipment, the assistance and the free handthat far-seeing groups of directorsgive their research staffs. From corporations, in turn, laboratory directorshave learned the benefits that followplanning, organization and competentdirection. Universities still tend tocherish the illusion that industrial research is impossible without regimentation — time-clock punching, military discipline, an eye for the main chance.They have a lesson to learn from organizations of the type that Dr. Jewetthas built up — the lesson that group research is not only as free and pleasantas that conducted by lone investigatorsin more sacred precincts but even moreexciting because of the scale on whichit is undertaken.1903J.

He feels that "Germanyis in the process of reorganizing theliving of its people as to their habits,mental attitudes, physical, cultural aridmental developments.

One becomesaware in this phase that some of hisfavorites of recent years do not appear.I note, for instance, that while we findreference to Alfred Lunt and LynnFontanne, there is no mention of GeorgeArliss and Helen Hayes. Such omissions are no doubt explained by the factthat the book is not intended to be a directory of actors but mentions only asmall selected group for such specificpurposes as illustrating the manner inwhich a play is paced or the way inwhich characterization may be aided bystage business.In summary, attention should be calledto the fact that the book is entertaining and instructive reading for the casual observer of plays who finds his enjoyment enhanced by further understanding of what makes "good theater."The illustrations are drawn from playswhich almost every reader knows—Shakespeare to O'Neill — quite as freelyas from continental playwrights andcurrent American craftsmen, so that thenon-technical reader finds himself working with sufficient familiar material.Here again, the list of plays treated isnot intended to be exhaustive, which explains why the reader may not find hisfavorite plays included.— Aaron J.
