Saying that few expect a return to the pre-war era, Ker-win believes that thought given nowto the re-planning of cities, problemsof employment, export trade, health,and education is necessary and shouldbe in direct proportion to their importance.

SIX months in the Marine Corpshave seen Paul Douglas, of theUniversity's economics department,pass from a private to a captain.There is the vague, though doubtful,possibility that part of the advancewas due to gleanings from the bookwhich Captain Douglas reviews thismonth — Quincy Wright's A Study ofWar.

More than can be realized except by his intimate associates, Dr. Gale had an important hand inbringing about the growth of physics, mathematics, astronomy, chemistry, and geology in the whole Midwest.He began his studies of science with the first class to enter the University of Chicago in 1892. For forty-two years he was engaged in physics research and teaching at the same university. He served as Chairman ofthe Department of Physics, Dean of the Ogden Graduate School of Science, and later as Dean of the Divisionof Physical Sciences. His chief researches, in collaboration with the late A. A. Michelson, were directedtoward measuring the rigidity of the earth and the speed of light. These studies are no^v classic. His bookshave led many a student through difficult steps in physics.Far more important, however, was the effect of Dr. Gale's continued unselfish devotion fd~4ke task of creating at Chicago a center of scientific investigation that should be second to none anywhere. His ablehandling of this task enabled Michelson and Millikan to perform their great experiments on light and electrons. The Yerkes and McDonald Astronomical Observatories and the Institute of Meteorology owe muchof their development to him. Always he would sacrifice his own scientific prestige for a chance to build amore effective organization for teaching and research.One result was to supply many well-trained scientific men and women to industry and education. Moresignificant has been the response of other institutions throughout the country in meeting the high standardsof education which he thus set. Though other names may have received more notice in the dramatic growthof American science, our nation would now be much weaker had it not been for the persistent, forceful, andunselfish work of Henry Gale. -ARTHUR H. COMPTONVOLUME XXXV THE UNIVERSITY OFCHICAGO MAGAZINE NUMBER 3DECEMBER, 1942POST-WAR RECONSTRUCTION• By JEROME G. KERWINThere must be men of good will,with vision, patience,and understandingTHERE are some sincere people who believe thatto win the war we cannot think of peace. Yetwar, to be justified, can only be fought for thesake of peace — not peace in the abstract but peace thatis fairly definite in its provisions. Men are so constituted that some objective must motivate their acts. Theyfight better for aims that they grasp and the nobler theaims the more will they sacrifice. We must hold out tothe peoples of Europe an order more full of promise thanthat which they have hitherto known. Our own peopledemand the same. A few of our fellow citizens prefernot to think of reconstruction for fear of a future thatmay bring with it sacrifice of personal interests to whichthey have become endeared. They foresee the completewrecking of the social and economic order. They entertain vague fears of socialism and communism. Theyrecall the dark warnings of social upheaval promised byformer Ambassador Kennedy. They tremble at thethought of the heightened prestige of a victorious Moscow. They see on the horizon of peace a dull red glowwhich keeps them waiting in apprehension at the entrances of their storm cellars. They take counsel of theirfears alone and do little credit to the adventurous American spirit. Some of these people were to be founda short time ago in the national legislature when it rejected a relatively small appropriation for the study ofpost-war reconstruction. Such an attitude has nothingin common with the attitude that made America greatamong the nations.What if we should arrive at the very threshold of peacewithout a plan? What if the transition from wartimeeconomy to peacetime economy were left to chance? Inthe nature of things disorder characterizes such a transition. Considering the complexity of our social and economic life, we can trust to no wizardry* to reorder that life. If perchance we place our trust in wizards, weshall have them aplenty. Instead of one Huey Long weshall have a score of Huey Longs; the ether waves willbe filled with the pleas of demagogues peddling theirpatent remedies to a confused and discouraged electorate.Even with plans at hand we shall have them, but thechances of our overcoming them will depend upon thepotency of a counter-irritant which a wise and prudentpeople can offer. It is an old saying in politics that youcannot beat somebody with noboby. The same holdstrue of any proposition before the public. A constructive,a positive plan, supported in its fundamentals by thetrusted leaders of our political parties, offers the one hopeof curbing false leaders and their ill-conceived nostrums.We may well learn in these matters from our ally,Britain, where through wisely staffed governmental departments the problems of post-war reconstruction are receiving the attention which their importance deserves. Thereyou will find that they are giving careful thought to there-planning and re-building of cities, to the constructionof great highways, to the problems of re-employmentafter demobilization, to the conversion of war-time industry, to the problems of export trade, to health andmedical care, to housing, to recreation, and to education.No one expects a return to the pre-war era. Great socialand economic changes are expected.While post-war planning involves long, careful, andobjective research which will last through the many yearsof a prolonged armistice, and while no exact blueprintsas yet can be drawn, yet our pre-war and wartime experience will have much to teach us and our foresightand vision can supply many principles of future action.Scores of private organizations and some governmentalagencies, notably the National Resources Planning Boardand the Interbureau Committee of the Department ofAgriculture, are giving careful consideration to the problems of the era of peace. As a recent Twentieth CenturyFund Report says :There is widespread recognition, to be sure, of the needof careful planning for the post-war period and muchdiscussion of it in governmental, professional, industrial,and labor circles. But much of this discussion is vague,general, thin, and evanescent. It is difficult to get down4 THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINEto brass tacks about post-war problems because of thedynamic nature of world affairs, the sweeping surge ofevents, the shifting currents of human beliefs, and theconjectural character of the shape of things to come.The domestic problems of post-war economic reconstruction will be concerned with the efficient performanceof the functions that any economic system has to perform, whether it be a planned, unplanned, or a mixedeconomy in transition like our own. These functionshave to do with the organization of money and credit,problems of savings and capital formation, of industrialand production policy, maintenance of employment andof minimum standards of living, and adjustment of international trade and investment.More specifically, when the war ends, we will be facedwith all the problems of demobilizing a wartime economy: of converting defense industries to peacetime production; of providing employment for demobilizedsoldiers, civilian war workers, and workers in defenseindustries; of taxation, debt adjustment, and fiscal policy;of regional development and balance; and, if our victoryis not decisive, of maintaining a fortress economy in ahostile world.On the socio-economic side there will be the continuing problems of national health and nutrition, of publiceducation and recreation, of housing and social security.It appears to be the general opinion that, regardless of theoutcome of the war and of fluctuations in party politics,the federal government will steadily extend its controlover the machinery of investment and credit, the management of basic industries, the distribution of the laborforce and the national income, and the direction of foreign trade.Noteworthy indeed are the nine declarations of rightsput forth on behalf of the National Resources PlanningBoard by Professor Charles E. Merriam. They deserveto be ranked with the principles of the Atlantic Charter.JEROME G. KERWIN Let us note them:1. The right to work usefully and creatively throughthe productive years2. The right to fair pay, adequate to command thenecessities and amenities of life in exchange for work,ideas, thrift, and other socially valuable services3. The right to adequate food, clothing, shelter, andmedical care4. The right to security, with freedom from fear ofold age, want, dependency, sickness, unemployment, andaccident5. The right to live in a system of free enterprise, freefrom compulsory labor, irresponsible private power, arbitrary public authority, and unregulated monopolies6. The right to come and go, to speak or be silent,free from the spyings of secret political police7. The right to equality before the law, with equalaccess to justice in fact8. The right to education, for work, for citizenship,and for personal growth and happiness9. The right to rest, recreation, and adventure; theopportunity to enjoy life and take part in an advancingcivilization.The National Resources Planning Board promises toimplement these declarations with more complete reports from time to time.It is not for us to draw up here a detailed plan ofdomestic post-war planning. We may venture, however,in a general way to postulate certain conditions and requirements. Perhaps it would not be rash to predict that:1. The period of reconstruction will be of long duration — running to ten or fifteen years.2. There will be no immediate reduction of government spending or taxing, in order that during the transitional period necessary public works of great magnitudemay take up the slack due to the letting down of warproduction. I should say that this will be in the natureof public buildings, super-highways, recreation facilities,electrification projects, housing etc.3. A well-planned and well-executed housing schemewill be put into force.4. Re-planning of our cities will provide for the maximum of comfort in living in urban areas.5. A long-run plan for the best use of our naturalresources for use at home and abroad will find a placein our national program.6. There will be a tying-in of our economic and industrial life, for the greatest spread of benefits, with theeconomic and industrial life of the victorious nations.7. The benefits of old-age, accident, and unemployment insurance will be extended.8. An extensive public health program will be created,with the likelihood of a plan of health insurance, medicalaid, hospitalization, and health education.9. Plans will be studied for the extension of education, with the possibilities of public aid to students deserving an education.10. The conditions of labor as to hours of work andwages paid will be more rigidly regulated.11. The new relationship existing between the cities,THE UNIVERSITY OFthe state, and the federal government will be clarified.12. A thorough and careful study showing, in thelight of public needs, the spheres of government activity,of private enterprise, and of cooperation between thetwo will be undertaken.13. An enlightened colonial policy will take form,assuring to our nationals the same standards of socialwelfare, political freedom, and economic security whichwe seek for ourselves.14. There will be a complete reform of our civil services from the cities through the federal government, whichwill place at the service of the public the best trainedpersonnel that can be secured.These are but a few of the items of domestic policyof the future. Not one of them is impossible for a resourceful people to actualize. A new day for a new typeof pioneer is dawning. We as Americans have alwaysprided ourselves on our resourcefulness, and our progress,and our ingenuity. We have pioneered in the field ofindustry and wholesale production, we have pioneeredin mechanics and science, we have pioneered in politicaltheory and practice, and our successes have been theadmiration and envy of the world. Others have pioneeredin social and economic planning; it is for us to improveand to bring to successful fruition what they have done.In all these attempts at a realization of a humanesocial order we shall be met by the protests of the selfishwho will not sacrifice, of the blind who will not see, ofthe vincibly and invincibly ignorant, of the partisan whothinks in terms of his group alone as against the commonweal. There will be those among us who will makeuse of slogans, epithets, stereotypes — old and new — toconfuse, terrify, and coerce the timid and the wavering.It is not unlikely that thousands of the electorate willbe exploited once again by the raising of the cry of Red,Communist, Radical, on the part of people who know notthe meaning of the terms they abuse. The method isold, but it is always good for a new try. At no time inour history will we have been required to show a greatervision, a greater perseverance, a greater patience, agreater common sense than in the era of peace that liesbefore us. But upon the foundations that we shall lay awell-ordered or disordered life for America will be established for generations to come, both here and elsewhereon the face of the globe.How about our relations to the rest of the world?Recall the history of the world for the past twenty yearsor more. Recall with what noble motives we went intothe last World War and with what confused motives wewalked out on the peace. Recall the wise admonitionsof wise leaders during the last war — Taft, Root, Wicker-sham, Lowell, Wilson — that international organizationmust supplement the disorganization of world society ifpeace were to be preserved. Recall that no one duringthose war days opposed their ideas or suggestions. Thenbring back to your minds the organization of the Senatecabal under the leadership of a man who sought political CHICAGO MAGAZINE 5WE KNOW now that we can neveragain retire to the presumed securityof peace and complacently closet ourselves from the rest of the world. Wemust do sentry duty for peace. Peace callsfor vigilance fully as alert as the vigilanceof war.— Wendel Willlciecampaign material, but most of all, vengeance on a personal rival who sat in the White House. Can any of usbe proud of the appeal made by this group to everyselfish, narrow, nationalistic interest? They preached100 per cent American patriotism and yet made specialappeals to the Irish, to the Germans, to the Poles, andto other groups asking them to determine American foreign policy according to their attachments to the landsof their ancestors. Can any of us be proud of the imprecations which this group poured upon the devotedhead of a stricken president whose great offense was tohave been ahead of his time in seeking a permanentorganization of world peace? Surely there are many whomay recall the scorn and ridicule directed at the ChiefExecutive when he made his prophecy, "Reject thisCovenant and you will break the heart of the world."How characteristic of our national degeneracy andselfishness was the social, political, and economic life ofthe time: a candidate nominated for the presidency inthe famous smoke-filled room of the Blackstone Hotel,nominated by the same Senatorial cabal that wreckedthe hopes for America's participation in world peace;a national administration as malodorous as any that hasever directed the affairs of state; the rearing of tariffwalls sky-high as if to emphasize in an economic way ourexclusion from all intercourse with the rest of the world;the scattering fast and loose about the world of Americanloans and the shutting off of all possibility of repayment;the era of the silent Coolidge who, though president ofa democratic nation wherein full citizen participation andvigilance is a prime requisite of a healthy state, was loudlypraised for his taking people's minds off their government; the wild orgy of spending, investment, and wildcat speculation; the unheeded warnings of prudent menthat Europe was breaking and only our cooperation couldprevent another catastrophe. With certain bright spotshere and there standing out in contrast to the dark disordered picture of boom, depression, despair, internationalhatred and ill will, we look back over those years andwonder what obsession and what evil genius led us on.Startling are the evidences of materialism, of lack of faithin any standards, of cynicism, of doubt in matters of faithor morals, of unwillingness to accept the lasting principlesof democracy as such, for all was changed; even thedignity of man and his rationality were rejected in highand respected centers of learning.While we talked "America First," and put scoundrels{Continued on page 20)FROM CAIRO TO CHICAGOO By H. W. VANDERSALL, M.S. '30Flying over centralAfrica in abucket seatIF YOU have had a trip in a DC 3 recently you haveprobably seen how the Army has stripped them ofmost of the equipment which makes for passengercomfort. The aluminum seats, lengthwise of the plane,with "bucket" depressions are not bad for an hour ortwo; but day after day of it leaves something to be desired. Or maybe that's only an opinion. But perhapsI'd better start at the beginning.When Tobruk fell last June and the Germans continued to move eastward, it was clear to those of us whowere teaching in the American University at Cairo thatit was a convenient time for women and children tospend the summer outside of Egypt. Rommel was veryconsiderate in choosing a date for his push. We hadjust finished most of the desk work remaining after thecommencement exercises and the issuing of students'final grades. Those of us with families decided to takeadvantage of an opportunity to spend the vacation inthe Sudan. Everyone knew it was plain evacuation, butwe liked that euphemistic phrase "vacation in the hills."Before we finished the summer we had not only vacationed in the hills, but had crossed Africa in bucket seats,and come on to Miami in the Clipper, then on toChicago.When Mersah Matruh fell we changed our scheme ofpacking; indeed our whole thinking shifted rapidly during the last few days in Cairo. We left without anydefinite idea that we'd get back, or that we'd find anything when we returned. To those of you who haven'ttried it, I can say that these days it is not difficult tosay goodbye to a house full of furniture. It took me onlya half hour to get it clearly in mind that these were onlychattels, and that if looters or the Germans got themmany thousands of people had given up more than that,and that after all they are only chattels, twenty years'accumulation of — just things. There opened a chanceto get my two children to the States. The choice between chattel and child was very easy.Thirteen of us left Cairo on June 30, the arrangementbeing that three Americans should remain "until the lasthour"; they should go only when it was a choice of getting out or going to a concentration camp. We leftquietly on a Tuesday evening. The next day we remember as Black Wednesday, because fourteen hoursafter we left, these three men also fled, leaving all of our property and records in the hands of trusted Egyptians.Maybe it is not an exaggeration to say that there waspanic in Cairo on the first of July. However, we knewnothing of this for weeks, for on that Wednesday morning we were joined in Luxor by twenty-six Americanmissionaries, mostly women, who also headed for Khartum. No one had any news that things were about toboil over in Cairo.The plan was to transfer at Aswan, the end of therailroad, to a Nile steamer. Unfortunately, on arrival,we found that the regular steamer was filled, and wecould not get any of our party on board. After two orthree hours of talk we signed a document relieving thecompany of responsibility for our safety, and sailed ona tugboat, a sternwheeler, towing on each side a bargeof 100-octane gasoline. There were only a few smokerson board, and they suffered more than the rest of us.We were anxious to see the temple at Abu Simbel,and asked to be allowed to go ashore. The reply fromthe captain was, "This is wartime; I must get along asquickly as possible and cannot possibly stop. We shallpass about 1 : 30 A. M. and you can see it by moonlight."Two of us, at least, knew our elementary astronomy wellenough to say that with the moon approaching last quarter the facade which faces east would be in the shade.Soon after midnight, when some of us were trying tostay awake and watch for the temple, we heard the boattug, grunt, and struggle. We were stuck on a sand barfor five hours and this proved fortunate for when wepassed Abu Simbel the view was perfect, with the risingsun shining directly on the facade. The temple hadbeen erected to be seen in just this light. We hope thedelay in transporting that gasoline caused no one harmor danger.At Haifa, the frontier, we boarded a "special" trainfor the thirty-hour run across the desert to Khartum.The special was made up of two coaches, twenty-five"goods waggons" (flats and gondolas to you) and a luggage van (baggage car in plain language) . On the trainwas a "caterer" with food and equipment to care foreight or ten, but he blandly assured us that he couldeasily care for us. And we believed him, until after thefirst meal. Then three of our women stepped in andhelped him, dug into the emergency rations we were carrying, and gave us something to eat. After twenty hourswe arrived at Abu Hamid, "where I'll buy all we can eat,"he said. He bought out the town and came back intriumph carrying two scrawny chickens. The threewomen served a chicken dinner to thirty-nine of us thatnight, but you'll have to ask my wife how she did it.We were only one day late arriving in Khartum, tired,6THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINE /hungry) and very dirty. We from the University inCairo were to occupy school property, a two-acre lotwithout a blade of grass or tree. At one end was a three-room building which looked habitable. At the remoteend was a row of toilets, all doors opening in full view ofthe entire compound. Along one side were the kitchenand dining room, and a few other rooms.On our second day the rainy season started. Therains had been holding off, waiting for our arrival, andthen they made up for lost time. It rained as it neverdoes in Chicago, and as it sometimes tries to in Florida.We had two inches in three hours. The roofs are madeof mud and manure, and they simply dissolve in thatmuch water. Our dining room and kitchen were undersix inches of water for three days, during which time wehad occasional showers. On. days when it didn't rainwe had dust storms, usually only once each afternoon.After a month an opportunity came to go to the Statesby ship from a port on the Red Sea, so our family of fourdecided we'd go. We allowed five days to make thelhree-day trip; but it rained and we were six and a halfdays on the way and then missed the ship. When itrains in the Sudan the trains simply stop.The nearest I came to being shot was at Tessenei, onthe border between the Sudan and Eritrea, where wearrived two days late to leave the train and take a bus.We were told that because of a washout on the roadwe could not proceed; we could not stay there, becausethere was no water, no food, no hotel. A few of us wanted to go as far as the washout, carry the baggageacross, and let a bus come down to meet us. But wewere told to go back to Kasala, two hours away, and return next day. We were now in a party of aboutseventy, almost all of them British officers and soldiers.f told two British majors, "It's purely a British idea toadvance by going back to where we came from." Theydidn't shoot me, and the next day we went through toAsmara, having missed the boat by eighteen hours.We were sent "for three or four days" to Gura, anAmerican camp at an altitude of 6200 feet — a verycomfortable place with a delightful climate, and thebase which the Italians used for their air attack onEthiopia in 1935-36. We heard several reports of ships,but as soon as the skippers heard there were two womenin our family, the deal was off. After a month we decided to try to fly out. But nowadays that requires military authorization, not so easy to secure. Communicationswith Cairo were very bad. There was no telegraph ortelephone at all, and very uncertain postal service, exceptto New York City. However, after three weeks we didhave things almost arranged when we were suddenly toldof another ship, a very good one this time, "a sister ofthe Santa Paula."We went down to Masawa to board this ship. Shewas a sister, but a red-headed step sister, and had neverbeen a passenger ship at all. Our cabin was betweentwo rooms occupied by members of the crew. The rulein the Red Sea is that outside of port the crew neverft '{Photo, Courtesy of The Oriental Institute)The temple, Abu Simbel, is one of many throughout Egypt erected during the reign of Rameses II.

Also, he was not headedstraight home, but was first going to Suez for three weeks.We knew Suez, and that Jerry visited there at night.We saw the remains of the Georgic a year ago. We didnot go on that ship, or any other. However, we wereglad to have made the trip to Masawa, for the sceneryis beautiful and the road exciting. In forty miles thereare 190 hairpin turns and once I counted thirty-sixcurves in a mile. Back in camp we found that ourpapers had come from Cairo, but had been returnedbecause we had left by sea. We finally got them back,and flew out, in bucket seats, in a DC 3, on October 1.In two hours and a half that first day we retraced thetrip which had taken six and a half days two monthsbefore. We came down for lunch in the middle of theafternoon. A storm was approaching and the pilot wouldnot wait for us to eat. It was raining before we took offagain; we went up to 20,000 feet to get above the storm.He was unwilling to go higher with inexperienced passengers and took it head on. It was bumpy, and as forbeing sick — why bring that up? Just before dark wecame down in Nigeria, 2,000 miles from our startingplace.Why emphasize the fact that each night when we'dget comfortable beds, we'd be routed out at 3:30 A. M.?We went on, in two more hops, to a place in Liberia,where we were to wait for the Clipper. I noticed thatin the new dining hall the chairs were newly made, ofmahogany. I saw a dollar-a-day carpenter putting on adoor casing, of mahogany. In front of our cottage was abeautiful tree, about a hundred feet high, of mahogany.On the Clipper no more bucket bottoms, but comfortable, upholstered seats, crosswise of the plane. Thetrip across the narrowest part of the ocean to Natal when,incidentally, we crossed the Equator, took only elevenhours.

Built under John D.Rockefeller's request that it not only dominate the University scene but seem a synthesis of the entire University,the Chapel has provided more beauty than is visible tothe eyes.For a decade now, music sent swelling out from the topof the tower has drifted over the campus, sometimesexultant, sometimes a lonely fragment of scarcely audiblethought, sometimes merely wistful. Vermeer and VanDyck, Rembrandt and Rubens listened to music of thissort in their time, for it is neither a new nor an Americanform. The carillon, largest and loftiest musical instrument known to man, has an appeal to the "giant heartof memories and tears and laughter which is callednationality" of the people of Belgium and Holland thatcannot be duplicated by any other instrument.Four hundred years ago Charles V, Holy RomanEmperor, inherited the territory now within the boundaries of Belgium and Holland. Before long he conceived a new political state in that region — the SeventeenUnited Provinces. But soon these provinces separatedand devastating war followed. In these years, within thisterritory and in a time unparalleled for siege and distress,a civic music of great beauty came into being. It derivedfrom the mechanical arrangement of sets of small bellswhich in the fifteenth century came to be an essentialpart of the municipal towers of the Low Countries. Thesmall bells struck just before the hour announced thatthe heavy hour bell was about to strike, and perhaps gavethe good burghers time to draw out their heavy "Nuremberg eggs" to check their accuracy. It was not longbefore the number of small bells increased and soon theywere arranged to play little tunes. As the years wentby, larger bass bells were added, and the simple melodiousfolk songs began to be played. This was carillon music,and since those early centuries the Lowlands have had"singing towers" almost within earshot of each other.Amsterdam alone has five.These towers hold a magnificent musical instrumentwhich consists of several octaves of chromatically tuned Rows of bells, totaling fifty-eight, can be seen in the grey-ness at the very top of Rockefeller Chapel. They rest ina metal cage, disturbed only by fog and vagrant pigeonswho don't mind the gale-like winds which occur at thetower height. The lower bells have a heavy bass tone range,while the tones of the tiny ones above them will carry forapproximately two miles.bells, played through a keyboard. Ancient carillons hadfrom two to four octaves of bells, while modern ones haveIrom three to six. The bells are hung in tiers and fixedin frames so as not to swing, since ordinarily the sound ismade by the clapper striking the bell. The sets of bellsare placed high in a tower which has ample openingsfor the flow of sound, while the carillonneur sits at akeyboard and uses his hands — both clenched fists andextended fingers — as well as his feet. The manual controls are small levers of oak, while the heavier bellsrequire oak pedals similar to those of an organ. Eachlever and pedal is so connected with its bell that thespring-balanced clapper strikes the sound bow of thebell inside its body.A mechanism, either electric, pneumatic, or clockwork,can automatically strike the hours and quarter hours onmost carillons by means of a cylinder on which pins havebeen placed so as to trip the bell-ringing mechanism. Insome cases, an arrangement similar to a player pianoroll is used. In automatic use, the bells may be struckon the outside as well as the inside.Legends have woven themselves about some of these910 THE UNIVERSITY OFOld World carillons. In Ghent rises the bell tower ofthe Place Saint Bavon. Its tower holds a giant bell,taller than a man, about which a legend has come downto us concerning the Flemish inscription, "My name isRoland, when I toll there is fire, and when I ring thereis victory in the land." Cast more than six centuries ago,a large crack appeared in this bell on the eve of theGerman invasion during the first World War.New World carillons, and there are about fifty-five,are so young that as yet no myths have sprung up aboutthem. However, as the years go by, perhaps romanticscories will be told about the University carillon's greatBourdon bell, which is five tons heavier than London'sBig Ben.The University carillon, which was dedicated onThanksgiving Day in 1932, has only one comparable rivalin the United States, and that is in the Riverside Churchin New York. Both have seventy-two bells and both werethe gifts of John D. Rockefeller, Jr., in memory of hismotheh One of the finest in the world, the University'scarillon boasts of bells which range in weight from tenand a half pounds to eighteen and a half tons, while thetotal cost of the two hundred and twenty tons of bellswas $200,000. Five of the largest bells swing, being operated by motors, and sound the hours and quarter hours,The keyboard at which Mr. Marriott is seated is one of atwin set in the carillonneur's cabin high in the tower. Theother control board is used for practice and composition,being hooked to a group of tuned metal bars in place of aset of carillon bells. This second keyboard was originally inthe Chapel basement, but its clamor during practice so reverberated throughout the building that it was neccessary toremove it to the tower, where the sound is not so audible. CHICAGO MAGAZINEringing Wagner's Parsifal chime. This particular melodicphrase, alternated with folk tunes, is much used abroadfor the same purpose.The seventy-two bells are arranged in the Chapeltower in three tiers. The three heaviest bells are atthe low level of the belfry; above them eleven of thenext heaviest; while the fifty-eight remaining are inthe statue-crowned tip, which also holds the carillonneur'skeyboard.These bells are played by soft spoken Frederick Marriott, who came to the University in 1928 as ChoirmasterMack Evans' assistant and as one of the chancel organists.After he had played the carillon for three years, he beganto realize that a lifetime could be spent bringing technique and ability to fruition. Marriott then applied forand was granted a leave of absence to attend the worldfamed carillon school in Malines, Belgium. This particular school had been going on informally for centuries, butin 1922 the city council of Malines decided to start aformal, free carillonneur's school at the tower of SaintRombold, to be directed by the famous carillonneur, JefDenyn, who until his death in 1941 was the world'sgreatest carillonneur and the man whose genius andmechanical knowledge made possible the modern carillonof today.William Gorham Rice in his volume, Carillon Musicand Singing Towers of the Old World and New, givesan impressive description of the celebration which openedthis school and honored Jef Denyn for the completion ofthirty-five years as city carillonneur. It not only tellsof what a hold carillon music has on the hearts of thesepeople of the Lowlands, but shows the love they have fortheir carillonneur.The celebration began in the early evening with aremarkable ovation to Mr. Denyn. As in the twilighthe stood in the doorway of his house which is in thecenter of the old city, surrounded by present and pastburgomasters, city councillors, and carillonneurs fromBelgium, French Flanders, and the Netherlands, and byother friends who had come from afar to greet him, aprocession enthusiastic in spirit but irregular in formationcame into view. In this marching multitude were fifty-five guilds and societies. . . . There were also groups ofregular army officers and veterans wearing their medals,there were companies of the professional men and merchants of the town, there were clerks, there were boatmen,there were troops of school boys and school girls all benton paying homage to their beloved townsman. Thisthought alone seemed to fill their hearts.After a good portion of the throng had passed, Mr.Denyn, escorted by the burgomasters . . . took a place inthe ranks, and the march continued through the narrowwinding streets of the old city. It was like a royal progress. The great carillonneur walked with head uncoveredand from time to time people, old and young, evenmothers with little children in their arms, ran out fromthe crowd to take his hand. "Our Jef" they called him,and they told him again and again of their great affection.This is a heart-stirring example of the reverence heldfor bell music in the Lowlands.(Continued on page 21)THE UNIVERSITY OFBY THE New Year, if present expectations arerealized, hundreds of thousands of women whohave never worked before will be recruited intoindustry. What will happen to their children? Thousands of these women are likely to have one child ormore, and a large per cent of these children will be ofpreschool age. Even with WPA nursery schools, daynurseries in settlements, and all other agencies for thecare of the preschool child, the number of present personnel is far below that needed for the great influxwhich will occur and in fact is already beginning. If theranks are not filled quickly and adequately, children willbe exposed to the careless haphazardness of casual caretakers and their futures will be seriously jeopardized.This is one of the pressing problems with which thechild care committee of the Office of Civilian Defense isconcerned. There is a great need for trained personsto serve as nursery school teachers as part or whole timeparticipaters, as well as for volunteers with interest inand love of children to help in this big project of carefor the future citizens of our country. You collegealumnae may have wondered how you could best useyour spare hours in volunteer service. Because manyof you are fitted by education and interest, we turn to you CHICAGO MAGAZINE 11in the hope that you may find service as a "child careaide" a most satisfactory experience.In large industrial areas throughout the country theOffice of Civilian Defense, in cooperation with the U. S.Children's Bureau, is sponsoring training courses for volunteer aides. In Chicago, for example, courses are beinggiven in four centers. The introductory part of thecourse includes twenty-four hours in child developmentand observation, and in the study of materials, equipment, and activities in centers for young children. Thisis followed by forty-eight of actual participation in thecare of children in day nurseries and nursery schools. Thecourse is free but those enrolling for it will be expectedto take a pledge to give as a minimum requirement sevenhours a week for six months in child care centers aftercompleting their course.An urgent appeal is made to all alumnae who have freetime to volunteer in this effort to protect young childrenin wartime. Those living in Chicago and the suburbsmay register for the courses at the Volunteer Bureau ofthe Office of Civilian Defense, 219 South LaSalle Street.In other parts of the country information may be obtainedfrom the local OCD or from the U.

No restriction of the University'stotal activities has resulted from the war, though theexpeditions were recalled from Iran, Professor Douglasbecame Captain Douglas, and even the basketballteam's traveling schedule was curtailed. Other activities, geared to war, have taken their place.To give substance to this claim, take only a coupleof cases. A gigantic examination project, the largestof its kind ever undertaken, is being carried on by theUniversity, for the Army and Navy Institute, a vast educational enterprise conducted by the armed services formen stationed from New Caledonia to Iceland. TheInstitute's function is to supply education — ranging fromgrade school "refresher courses" to advanced collegework. Many of the men in service wish to study subjects which do not appear in the ordinary extension curriculum but which will increase their skill in specializedArmy or Navy jobs. Headquarters for the extensionwork is at Madison, Wisconsin, but all the examinationsare prepared by the University of Chicago, through astaff under the direction of Ralph W. Tyler, chairmanof the Department of Education and University Examiner. The scope of the work is indicated by the factthat six thousand men already are enrolled in the Institute's courses, and if additions continue at no morethan the present rate, the number will be thirty thousand by the end of the academic year in June.In addition to the Institute work, the staff, essentiallythe same as the University's Board of Examinations, alsoprepares the examinations for the Signal Corps, including both qualifying and certifying tests. This job alsoembraces examinations enabling Signal Corps men nearcompletion of work toward academic degrees to finishthe work and, by earning in absentia degrees, win commissions, many of which depend thereon. Chosen forthis work because of the outstanding record it has madesince it was organized in 1931 as part of the ChicagoPlan, the Board of Examinations also is preparing abattery of tests, for post-war use, designed to give servicemen academic recognition for appropriate types ofknowledge and mental development resulting from warexperience. Results of these tests will help in the nation'sdemobilization duty to find constructive civilian placesfor its citizen army. CARL G. ROSSBYMeteorological HeadquartersThe second exhibit in evidence of the pervasive national influence of the University is the establishment ofthe University Meteorological Committee on the Midway. Headed by Carl G. Rossby, director of the University's own Institute of Meteorology — one of five inthe country — the Committee now directs all weathertraining for the armed services. In addition to thegraduate work, leading to second lieutenancies (in theNavy, the rank of ensign is given at the start of thetraining), the meteorological work by early next yearwill include the preliminary training of young men evenbelow the level of high school graduates. These youngmen will be given from one to two years of collegephysics and mathematics in six to twelve months, beforebeginning the advanced study as aviation cadets. Inaddition to food, quarters, tuition and uniforms, theywill draw Army pay while in training and, at leastin the advanced work, will receive academic credit asa bonus.With every extension of the war's battle fronts thework of these weather officers grows more important.So far they have been of crucial importance in the workof the Army Air Forces, and as the variety of fightingconditions grows, they may become increasingly important elsewhere. Remember that Scipio's major troopmovements had to be carried on in African sand storms,12THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINE l.iso that the dust raised by the troops would not bedetected by the Carthaginians.In other ways, too, the University is taking its placeas a national force in the nation at war. Througha unique training course given for the Signal Corps,the University trained a group of women — the first inhistory — to become instructors in advanced electronics inthe Army classes. Training of women, under the U. S.Office of Education's program, to become office supervisors and junior executives replacing men, is so far the onlyinstruction of its kind. On still another front, E. W.McGillivray, of the athletic department staff, devisedupon request a method of teaching flyers and sailors toswim in deep oil. In use elsewhere, the method isbeing taught to Navy combat pilots, among others, intraining at the University. And one of Coach McGil-livray's boys, Ensign John Bernhardt, '40, was awardedthe Navy's Silver Star "for meritorious conduct in combat," after less than a month of duty with the Pacificfleet.Amid the crashing of educational institutions as aresult of the war — at least fifty have closed their doorsthus far — the University stands firm. As Dean Aaron J.Brumbaugh said, speaking last month at the tenth anniversary celebration of International House, "It may bepredicted that colleges and universities of merit willsurvive the war . . . and that higher education willnever be the same again, but that it will be better."New TrusteesEdward Eagle Brown and George A. Ranney wereelected to membership in the University's Board of Trustees at the November meeting. Their election bringsto seven the number of trustees added in the last sevenmonths.Mr. Brown is president of the First National Bank ofChicago, the National Safe Deposit Company, and theFederal Advisory Council of the Federal Reserve System. He is a director of the Peoples Gas Light and CokeCompany, the Paducah and Illinois Railroad, and the Penn Mutual Life Insurance Company. He also is treasurer of the Chicago Park District, a trustee of the Newberry Library, member of the Sponsors' Committee, andCommunity Fund Drive of Chicago.Attending the University of Chicago for part of hisundergraduate work, he received the bachelor's degreefrom Harvard University in 1905 and graduated fromthe Harvard Law School in 1908. Admitted to theIllinois Bar in 1908, he became associated with the legaldepartment of the First National Bank in 1910 and hasbeen with the bank continuously since that time, becoming president in 1934. He was one of those to receivea citation from the College Division last June.Mr. Ranney has been chairman of the Peoples GasLight and Coke Company since 1935. He entered theutility field in 1933, when he became vice-chairman anddirector of the Commonwealth Edison Company, PeoplesGas Light and Coke Company, and the Public ServiceCompany of Northern Illinois. Previously, he had beenvice-president in charge of sales of the InternationalHarvester Company.He is a director of the International Harvester Company, the First National Bank of Chicago, WestinghouseElectric and Manufacturing Company, WestinghouseElectric International Company, and the New YorkCentral Railroad.Mr. Ranney rendered important service to the University through the period of the Fiftieth Anniversarycelebration as chairman of the Citizens Board of Sponsors,a position he still holds. He also is a director of theMuseum of Science and Industry in Chicago, and in1940 and 1941 he was president of the Community Fundof Chicago.Henry Gordon GaleServices were held last month for Henry Gordon Gale,'96, Ph.D., '99, dean emeritus of the Division of thePhysical Sciences and an integral part of the Universitycommunity since the University was founded.

A member of the University's first entering class, he also was a member of A. A. Stagg's firstfootball team, a regular tackle though he weighed lessthan one hundred forty-five pounds. After completinghis undergraduate and graduate studies, he joined thestaff of the Department of Physics, becoming professorin 1916. In the following year, upon American entryinto the war, he joined the First Officers' Training Schoolat Fort Sheridan, graduating with the rank of captain.Overseas he was transferred against his will from theInfantry to the Signal Corps, and when he left the servicein 1919, he had risen to the rank of Lieutenant Colonel.He was cited "especially for meritorious and conspicuousservice" by General Pershing and also was made a Chevalier of the Legion of Honor.Returning to the University, he was named dean of theOgden Graduate School of Science in 1922, and following the University's reorganization in 1931, he became dean of the Division of the Physical Sciences, holding the position until he became emeritus in 1940.Among other administrative capacities, he was dean ofthe Junior College from 1908 to 1912 and dean of theCollege of Science from 1912 to 1922. He becamechairman of the Department of Physics in 1925, andfrom 1912 until 1940 he was joint editor of the Astro-physical Journal. Through his own work in spectroscopy,through his collaboration with the late Albert A. Michelson, and through his leadership in scientific organization,Dean Gale's influence on the development of science inAmerica was outstanding. He is survived by his widow,the former Agnes Spofford Cook, a native of DeKalb,Illinois, and a graduate of the University, and by theirdaughter, Beatrice, whose married name is Mrs. Kimball Valentine.Dr. Bensley's Seventy-fifth BirthdayAn unusual and significant occasion on the Midwaylast month was the symposium held in honor of Dr.Robert R. Bensley, professor of anatomy, marking hisseventy-fifth birthday. Fifteen scientists from thirteenAmerican universities and research organizations — allformer students or associates of Dr. Bensley — reportedresearch findings at the meeting in his honor.In the ten years since his retirement, Dr. Bensley, whohad already achieved eminence as an anatomist, has undertaken the feat of developing an entirely new scientific field of investigation, that of cytochemistry, the chemical and physical analysis of the contents of body cells.In opening up this field, Dr. Bensley has provided common ground for research by scientists in half a dozenfields — physics, chemistry, anatomy, physiology, zoology,biochemistry, and pathology.Recognized as one of the thousand leading scientistsof the United States more than thirty-five years ago, Dr.Bensley made distinguished contributions to the understanding of the stomach, pancreas and kidney, and the salivary and thyroid glands. He also carried on pioneerresearch in the chemistry of body cells, and in 1931directed research which developed the quick-freezing anddrying method of instantaneously stopping life processesof tissue.Among the scientists who presented papers were: Edmund V. Cowdry, Ph.D. '12, professor of anatomy atROBERT R. BENSLEYWashington University; Norman L. Hoerr, Ph.D. '29,M.D. '31, head of the anatomy department and the BrushFoundation at Western Reserve University; IsidoreGersh, Ph.D. '32, research associate in the poliomyelitislaboratory at Johns Hopkins University; David Bodian,'31, Ph.D. '34, M.D. '37, instructor in anatomy at JohnsHopkins; and Arnold Lazarow, '37, Ph.D. and M.D. '41,of the University's Department of Anatomy.Alumni CoursesMore than three hundred and fifty alumni living inthe Chicago area — though as far from the Midwayas Whiting, Indiana, and the suburbs of Western Springsand Oak Park — are attending the second pair of coursesdesigned to extend education into the later lives of thealumni. Those who are taking part in the intellectual"homecoming" range from former students of seventyto graduates of the most recent vintages. In the coursein the humanities — patterned after the famous Collegegeneral course but adapted to the greater maturity ofthe older students — one hundred ninety-five alumnigather each fortnight. The course stresses the analysisand evaluation of literary and historical works from Herodotus to Hemingway. On alternate Tuesday evenings,(Continued on page 22)A STUDY OF WARThe result of many years of collective research, AStudy of War by Quincy Wright presents an analysisof aggression in systematic form. The Magazine is indebted to the reviewer and to Sterling North and theChicago Daily News for permission to reprint this review.Mr. Wright's work has recently been issued in two volumes by the University of Chicago Press ($15.00).— EditorFOR nearly twenty years Quincy Wright, as ascholar and with the detachment of a scientist,has been studying war in all its forms and as aconcerned citizen has been seeking to prevent aggression.In these two massive volumes filled with amazing erudition, both streams of his interests are joined. Into hiswide net, Mr. Wright brings the savage struggles of ants,comparative warfare among apes, military habits ofprimitive tribes, ranging from the Abhakan Tartars tothe Zaparos and, amongst more organized societies, fromthe sixth Egyptian dynasty about 2500 B. C. to the attackon Pearl Harbor.Not only has virtually every war in every clime beenstudied but they are analyzed from every conceivablepoint of view from that of anthropology through economics, history, psychoanalysis, and not even excludingexcursions into higher mathematics. The literature ofevery country has been covered. No significant book orarticle has been left unread and the author moves aseasily with his mind and scholarship through the milleniaand over the continents as Joe Di Maggio roams afterfly balls from second base to the center-field fence.In the field of scholarship alone, Mr. Wright's performance is one of extraordinary virtuosity and cannotfail to be consulted by everyone who seriously wishes toknow more about war as an institution. Many worksof scholarship, however, are characterized by learningrather than by wisdom. This is not the case in this book.Could there, for example, be a more succinct or penetrating analysis of the appeasement policies which nearlywrecked the world than the following (pp. 1327-1328) :"Appeasement is likely to make the aggressive statemore aggressive. The aggressor's success in utilizingthreats of violence will stimulate him to utilize the samethreats again. The argument is often made by nonresistersthat generosity stimulates generosity and that the aggressor will reciprocate to such treatment by becoming docileand law-abiding. Doubtless, generosity may have thateffect under certain conditions but it may be questionedwhether either the aggressor or anyone else would characterize the sacrifice of someone else's rights under threatsof violence as generosity. A voluntary rectification of • A Book Review by PAUL H. DOUGLASinequities in peaceful times may establish a worthy precedent, prevent the development of potential aggression,and stabilize the community of nations. But the samecannot be said of retreat before threats of violence atthe expense of those who have right but not power ontheir side."Isolationists, Please NoteConsider also the full import of the following sentences which are a cool and crushing refutation of isolationism: "Wars involving great powers have alwaysspread rapidly because they threaten the balance ofpower. It is very rare in the last three centuries thatany great power has succeeded in keeping out of the warin which there was a great power on each side and whichlasted for over two years. . . . The United States wasdrawn into the Napoleonic Wars and into World War Iand II. . . . Nations desiring peace must rely on prevention rather than neutrality" (pp. 1321-22).As a constructive worker for world peace through theprinciples of collective security, Mr Wright lays downsome of the essential elements for a just and stable peace :"Qualitative and quantitative disarmament, reducingthe power of rapid attack; development of proceduresauthorizing provisional measures with respect to militaryQUINCY WRIGHT16 THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINEmovements; development of the theory that aggressionsare acts of governments, not of states, and that sanctionsshould be directed only against governments and thoseelements of the population which support them; moreeffective use of propaganda to unify the forces of worldorder and to disunite the population subject to the aggressor government; immediate and general embargoes ofall war materials destined for the use of the aggressorgovernment and perhaps eventual establishment of aworld police, monopolizing control of bombing planes, aresteps which together might render aggression impracticable" (pp. 1340-41).Regional ResponsibilitiesUnlike some advocates of world security, Mr. Wrightis thoroughly aware of the difficulties which are involvedin trying to build a world organization without adequateattention to regional spheres of responsibility and of thedangers in placing too heavy obligations upon nationswhich are far removed from given sore spots. He says:"There will continue to be nationalities giving distinctiveness to areas whose population has cultural characteristics and historic memories in common. The effectivemilitary action of states will continue to be confined tolimited regions outside of their frontiers55 (p. 1342).Our immediate job is to win the war. That will be aharder task than many blithe optimists persist in thinking.But after it has been done (as it must be) there will bethe further need of building a more worthy peace whichwill not be merely an interlude between World War IIand World War III. As I translate Mr. Wright's generalprescriptions into the more specific terms of peace, theywould seem to imply: (1) The disarming of Germanyand Japan and the punishment of those individual leadersguilty of gross atrocities against nationals of other countries, together with the requirement of reparation fortheft.(2) Permitting the German and Japanese people tohave the benefits of the wider flow of trade which shouldcome from a national organization.(3) Creation of regional federated units such as theUnited States of Europe, the United States of North andSouth America, and a United States of Asia. Thesefederations would still be based on constituent nations,but they would have the primary military responsibilityof keeping peace in their own area. This would entailthe possession of a considerable force of bombing planesand of a mobile land army. In addition to military andpolice responsibilities, however, these regional federationscould also perform a wide variety of social and educational services as well. (4) These regional areas should in turn be federatedinto a world organization under which the other areaswill come to the aid of a regional federation whose peaceis attacked. This aid should take at least three forms,namely (a) economic, (b) naval, (c) aviation. It wouldnot, however, carry with it an obligation to ship hugeland armies enormous distances. We might, however, usea highly mobile force such as the Marines and our aviation forces on given policing jobs outside of our continent.(5) Wider trade areas — a development which is particularly needed in Europe and which can be used as oursubstitute for Hitler5s brutal methods of "unification.5'Imperatives of PeaceBut back of machinery must lie the spirit of man andMr. Wright properly concludes his monumental workby challenging the democracies "to restore general allegiance to the philosophy of human progress and humanwelfare which the great thinkers, religious, philosophical,and political, of all regions and all ages of civilizationhave accepted. An organization to prevent war mustaccept the philosophy that institutions are to be judgedby the degree in which they advance human freedomand welfare and that the special aims of nation, state,government, or race are subordinated. At the same time,it need not deny that the maintenance of a great varietyof nations, governments, races, and peoples throughoutthe world makes for human welfare." It is in that spiritthat we must fight to win this war in order to preservethis and other nations from the threat of aggression inthe future. It is in that spirit also that we must makeand administer the peace which is to follow.A ROMANCE OF PIONEER LIFEMacmillan has just published the third major novelby Agnes Sligh Turnbull, 513, entitled The Day MustDawn. Mrs. Turnbull has written a fascinating, realistictale of western Pennsylvania when it was a wild frontier,of Hannastown, the little backwoods settlement, and ofthe Murray family, sprung from Scotch-Irish stock, whotypified the strength and fortitude and hope of that section and that era. Mrs. Turnbull has achieved a fidelityof the customs of the time and place that evidences a longand careful study.

AndI was just about to tell the sequel, which was a visit fromthe boy himself, when Editor Beck, by rigid applicationof the rules concerned with allotted space, obliged me toleave the boy standing on the very threshold of my office.Once more I pick up the thread of my narrative, andproceed.)A DAY or two later the boy himself came into myoffice: a fine young fellow, frank and outspokento a degree, but with all the address of one whoknew quite well what he wanted to get out of college—the kind of student that any dean takes to at once. He/gave me the other side of the picture: I had seen thefather obviously much disappointed because his son didnot seem likely to make his mark in college athletics ashe himself had done, and now here was the son completely puzzled by his father's attitude. He began :"My father told me that he spoke to you about mybeing put off the field the other day. I'm sorry hetroubled you and I hope you are not going to go anyfurther with it. That coach didn't mean any particular harm; there was really nothing personal in hisremarks; he bawls all of us out just like that. Thatseems to be the only language he knows. Nobody getsexcited about it or pays much attention to it. I wascertainly out of luck when my father took it into hishead to come to the campus that afternoon. Neithermy brother nor I can play good football, nor are wemuch interested in it. We joined the squad just toplease our dad. You just wouldn't believe how importanthe thinks it is. Parents certainly have odd ideas aboutcollege, but for the sake of peace we have to humorthem. It certainly isn't possible to re-educate them. Isuppose even a dean would hardly attempt to do that,would he?" I admitted that it would be difficult.If the above incident left me at all uncertain in regardto the folly of a father's trying to make his son's collegecourse conform to the standards of his own generation,a second experience a few weeks later scattered my doubtsforever. Again I found an indignant father waiting inmy office at ten o'clock. This seemed, indeed, to be theusual time for parents to drop in on the dean. Thecollege lay between the chief residential district and thebusiness part of the city, and so they could with thegreatest convenience make their call, and then having1718 THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINEALUMNIDEANGORDON J. LAINGpurged their minds of troublesome parental educationalcares, proceed with all tranquility to their office. Mycaller was a man of some prominence in the city and Ihad a slight acquaintance with him. A few years later,after I had left the college, I read in a newspaper anotice of his appointment to an important diplomaticpost abroad, and even at the time of our interview heimpressed me as the sort of man whose mind was filledwith wonder and surprise that he hadn't been given aposition of distinction long ago. He wasted no time inpreliminary courtesies, but immediately exploded intowrathful expression."Sir," he said, "I am not at all satisfied with what myboy is doing in his studies here.""Neither am I," I interrupted, "neither are his professors. I am glad you came in this morning. I wasjust about to write to you about him. Take him out ofcollege, take him away, put him into a bank, or an insurance company, or business of some sort. He is onlywasting his time here. This is the middle of his secondyear in the freshman class. You are ruining his chancesin life. Some boys should never go to college and he isone of them.""I don't care," he retorted, "if this is his second yearas a freshman or his twentieth. He is going through thiscollege, as I went through before him and as my fatherwent through before me. I have reached that decision.""It is a wrong decision," I replied. "It isn't fair tohim. He has many good qualities; everyone likes him,even the professors who flunk him so regularly, andamong the students he is one of the most popular. Heisn't stupid, but he does not like books. They make nosort of appeal to him. He might make a great successin some other walk of life. It is a mistake to force himto do something in which he is not interested."It was with much acerbity that he announced, "Thematter is settled; he is going through; I told him so lastnight.""What did he say?" I asked."He said 'O.K., Dad,' and incidentally I would like to ask you if that is the kind of English that you teachyour students."Not waiting for any reply to that, he went on: "Doyou think he has any chance of passing this time?""I don't think so; he has three conditions and the midyear reports show no improvement.""But he can still try, can't he?" he asked. I assuredhim that so far as I knew there was no rule of the collegethat prevented him from doddering on into old age as afreshman."That being so," he said, "I shall get tutors for him,and I myself shall see that he works." On that last pointI needed no further assurance. At the end of the yearthe boy got rid of one of his conditions, and when I wentaway was planning with high hope to take his third yearas a freshman.I should like to say something about certain incidentsof my graduate and divisional deanships that contributedto my education as an alumni dean. But the restrictionsof space are so grimly enforced by the Editor of theMagazine that it will not be possible for me to do so.That I learned much from them I do not doubt. Andyet, in spite of all these preliminary disciplines, the factremains that when I was made alumni dean two yearsago, I knew very little about alumni. To be sure, I wasan alumnus myself — a duplex alumnus in fact — that typewhich now as an alumni dean I know to be particularlydifficult from the standpoint of alumni administration.Far be it from me to suggest that we who belong to theduplex alumnus class are ever elusive or evasive or disingenuous when approached by the chairman of the campaign committee of either the college where we took ourbachelor's degree or the university where we did our advanced work. Of course, we are not. But, on theother hand, we do feel that we should not conceal thefact that we have not one alma mater only, but two almaematres, and to this curious position — from a biologicalpoint of view so manifestly absurd — we must adjust ourselves as well as we can. I remember how carefully Iused to explain to the campaign committee of my collegethat I would like to make a contribution ten times aslarge as the amount I was sending — which I was willingto admit was unconscionably small — but I also owedallegiance to the university where I had taken my doctor's degree. The latter too was having a drive and hadindeed hinted in a fifty-page pamphlet that unless itraised the amount mentioned in its campaign literature,it could not proceed on the same scale, could not maintain the same standards of teaching and research, as ithad before. And that same urge toward the unvarnishedtruth to which I referred before constrained me, whenI sent my contribution to my university, to point outto the chairman of its campaign committee that what Iwas sending in no wise represented the magnitude of myloyalty to my old university, which had done so muchfor me, but there was the tug of affection for my col-THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINE 19lege which also seemed to be in need of funds and hadhinted the same in a fifty-page statement of its financialcondition and of the funds which it must have if it wasto continue on the same scale.I think I may assume that everyone will agree with mewhen I say that the duplex alumnus is a difficult problem for all institutions which find themselves under the,painful necessity of making a drive for funds. But thedifficulty is far greater for a university with its graduateschool than for any college. For in cases where theduplex alumnus decides to contribute to only one of hisalmae matres, it is highly probable that he will choosehis college. Logically, he should give to his university,for what he got there either in the graduate school orin his professional school has furnished him with hismeans of living, which after all is a matter of someimportance. But logic has no chance against the glamorous sentiment that clings about his college memories.On the other hand, there is very little of this sort ofthing in the upper divisions of a university: glamor andsentiment don't seem to do well in the atmosphere of professional school or graduate seminar. Concentrated specialization and purposeful career-planning have takentheir place. Herein lies $ie explanation of the fact, sofamiliar to all who have organized campaigns for contributions, that the same appeal is not effective for allgroups of alumni; that while the general institutionalappeal touches the dearest interests of bachelor alumni,it leaves the doctors of philosophy and the graduates ofthe professional schools quite cold. The latter are ap proached with far greater success through the departments or schools where they have had their work.In this preparatory and conditioning period of myeducation, such contacts as I had with alumni werewith my own particular alumni. I mean students whomI had had in classes of my own. Many of these areamong my very best friends, and I, like all the professorsI know, take the keenest interest in their subsequentcareers. When one of them begins to climb, we climbtoo and see in his success evidence that those courses ofours were not so bad after all. And if another does notseem to be making his way with that speed which wehad expected, it invariably raises in our minds the possibility of our having failed in some part of the trainingwe gave him. We have not, for example, been carefulenough or intelligent enough to guide him along the linesof study for which he was best adapted and in which hewas likely to succeed, but let him take routine coursesin which he had so little interest that success was highlyproblematical. To forecast any graduate's career is ofcourse a difficult thing. The estimates of his professorsoften prove to be wide of the mark.FROM CAIRO TO CHICAGO{Continued from page 8)day to see how Mrs. J. is geting on. She'll be up soon,we hope.

And on the western borders of thatsame state the obscure demi-corporal, Herr Schickel-gruber, planned a new order of blood, sweat, and tearswhich would affect every American home even in theremotest centers of the land.Responsible people tell us that a long armistice willfollow this war, an armistice of many years, when theprocess of settling and reorganizing the life of nations,both friend and foe, will be worked out. The fullestcooperation between the United Nations and especiallybetween the United States, Britain, Russia, and Chinawill be necessary for the successful accomplishment of thestupendous job of bringing a lasting peace. The taskof policing the defeated and disrupted nations in itselfis of a magnitude to stagger most of us. It is unlikelythat any fully prepared and concluded treaty of peaceor world organization will come immediately after thewar. It has, however, been suggested that committeesof the United Nations now organized and successfullyfunctioning be continued to supervise the common concerns of the nations of .the world. These committees andothers to be organized might well form the basis for theworld cooperation which should characterize the era ofpeace. As plans are evolved and found workable, theywill be put into permanent operation. As nations, nowin the category of neutrals or enemies, are tested by yearsof experience and found stable and trustworthy, they toowill be admitted to the world cooperating groups. Thisis not to exclude the many valuable plans for worldcooperation now put forth by many groups and individuals; federation, regional grouping, hemispheric organization — all or parts of these may play a role.We shall not be so visionary as to hope for an immediate structure of world organization. Certain difficulties are plainly visible now and constitute an unmitigated danger to the successful working out of any plan.There will be misunderstandings and there will be crisesboth great and small in the working out of any plan.How numerous, therefore, will be the men of good willwho will have the patience and understanding to seethese as but the growing pains of a better world order?How numerous will be the sources of public informationthat will seek to educate the public in the need for perseverance and the gaining of a right perspective in thesecrucial negotiations?

It is well to recallthat much of our haste in withdrawing from responsibility after the last war was due to a desire to "get theboys home" and to forget the endless bickering of international statesmen. We must not underestimate thesedifficulties based upon the war-weariness of a peacefulpeople.But just as Hitler warns his people that they are settlingthe fate of Germany and of the world for a thousandyears to come, so we are now and shall be settling thefate of peace for almost as long a period of time. Weshall be attempting the stupendous task of eradicatingor modifying the excessive emotions of nationalism whichhave grown up through six or seven centuries. It seemsnot unlike a reform of all mankind. We shall have gonea long way in the accomplishment of this altogether greatand worthy task, if we can bring a greater sense of material well-being and security to peoples throughout theTHE CARILLON{Continued from page 10)Marriott studied under Denyn for three months, in thistime completing a course which ordinarily took two yearsand graduating with the highest honors possible that theschool could bestow. His leave of absence was only forthis short period, so in order to complete the work, heput in long hours at night on the carillon, sometimesmaking the four hundred step climb to the tower morethan twice daily.Returning to the United States, Marriott remained ascarillonneur for the University until 1939 when he wasgiven another leave of absence to study organ underMarcel Dupre in France. Although a fine organist,Marriott had decided that he was not artist enough totake full advantage of the Rockefeller Chapel organ andso visited Paris and one of the world's greatest artiststo perfect his technique. He returned to the Universityshortly before the present war began, and since then hasbeen giving carillon and organ concerts regularly.There is very little similarity between carillon andorgan technique. Many organists have given up attempting to learn carillon touch and pedal ability. Perhaps world. A free exchange of goods, services, and naturalresources will bring much of this to pass.I have but sketchily given in the space of a few pagesan all too inadequate diagram of post-war reconstruction and its problems. Yet I do hope that I have givensome indication of the magnitude of the task that liesahead.Out of our present distress we hope to establish thepeace that all mankind longs for. Insurmountable asthe difficulties seem that lie in our path, a nobler visionhas never actuated man. Generations yet unborn willrise up to call us blessed if we bear the sacrifices andshoulder the responsibilities in behalf of this great ideal.America will have justified its existence and hallowedits name if people in the years ahead may look back uponthis age and say that this country gave the world anew birth of freedom and raised the standard that ledmankind out of the bondage of war and bloodshed.the only similarity between the two instruments is thatboth are played with hands and feet. Since both anorganist and a carillonneur, to be expert, must play thepedals without looking at them, the sense of placement isan extremely important part of each art. An organistwho can unconsciously place his heels and toes on theright organ pedal boards must learn the spacing of thecarillon pedals, which is totally different, and respond todissimilar presssures. In addition to this handicap, thecarillon pedal keys are played only with the toe, and acarillonneur must remember to take into account the factthat on the heavier bells there is a distinct interval oftime between the first touch on the pedal and the following sound on the bell. This requires a sense of pressureand timing that an organist rarely needs for his instrument.Here in the United States carillon music is not widelyknown and it may truthfully be said that in Americathere are more carillons than there are carillonneurs. Butin spite of this, many believe with William Gorham Ricethat native musicians, "while reverencing the great artof the Low Countries, by the freshness of different backgrounds and different musical traditions, will bring thecarillon art to an unconceived altitude of attainment."22 THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINENEWS OF THE QUADRANGLES{Continued from page 14)one hundred sixty- three alumni have begun the twelvesessions of the course in American democracy in peaceand war.Joseph B.
