Appointed asinstructor in the University he passed with praiseworthy dispatch through all the grades and was aprofessor by 1 922. Shortly afterwards he went toWashington, and has been president of the Brookings Institution there since its foundation in 1 928.He is a member of the American Academy of Artsand Sciences, the American Philosophical Society, andof numerous Greek letter societies with the scientificsignificance of which I am not familiar. He has beenawarded so many LLD's that he carries off a new hoodfrom a commencement platform with all the nonchalance and grace of a Marshall Field model. He isone of the notable lecturers of the country and is inconstant demand by organizations that range fromRotary Clubs to the Harris Foundation. He has therare faculty of instructing without boring, and this,together with the fact that he is both sound and intelligible, has always made him my favorite economist.But his greatest dictinction is as an author, andwhen I was editor of the University Press I alwaysthought that I had had a successful year if I got anew book from him, or even a new edition of an oldone. His volumes entitled "Principles of Money"and "Banking and Financial Organization of Society" are still among the glories of the Press list,'and these constitute only a tiny part of the books hehas published with us or elsewhere, for even hewould sometimes stray from the fold. His most recent publication is "The New Philosophy of PublicDebt."— G. J. L. LAIRD BELL. — A graduate of our Law School,J.D. 1 907, and a practicing lawyer for many years inChicago, Laird Bell has combined with his professional activities a widely extended interest in civic,commercial, philanthropic, and educational affairs.He is a member of more law clubs and associationsthan he can ever possibly attend. A director of halfa dozen corporations, among which are the ChicagoDaily News, the Chicago Title and Trust, the Industrial National Bank, and the Weyerhaeuser LumberCompany, he has recently been elected president ofthe Chicago Commercial Club. He is a director ofthe Foreign Bond Holders' Protective Council and aformer president of the Chicago Council on ForeignRelations. His interest in Chinese war relief andRussian war relief has shown how quickly he respondsto humanitarian appeals. And with all this he hasfound time for educational matters. He is a trusteeof the Teachers Insurance and Annuity Associationof America, a trustee of Carleton College, and vice-chairman of the Board of Trustees of the Universityof Chicago.In chairmanships, indeed, in directorships, trusteeships and presidencies he is multiplex to an extraordinary degree. Is the presidency or the chairmanshipof some society vacant? Immediately the words thatrise to all men's lips are, "Get Laird Bell." And theyelect him forthwith unless it is discovered that he hasalready held the office and the members, of the society do not approve of second terms. In a word, ifI may drop into my vernacular he has long since wona place in the front rank of those citizens honored byall as "cives Chicaginienses optimi, egregii et prae-stantissimi." — G. J. L.VOLUME XXXV THE UNIVERSITY OFCHICAGO MAGAZINE NUMBER 9JUNE, 1943OIL FOR THE SQUEAKING AXIS• By CAREY CRONEISFor the United States,only fifteen years'supply aheadMY THESIS is that lack of oil is the Achilles' heelof the Axis powers, but that the fatal arrow hasbeen slow in hitting the mark for a number ofreasons.Less than eighty-five years ago today, not a single dropof oil was "produced" anywhere in the world. Then in1859, "Colonel Drake's Folly" was started. Perhaps athousand dollars were spent in the drilling of this wellnear Titusville, Pennsylvania; in it a depth of less thanseventy feet was reached, and about twenty-five barrels ofoil a day flowed out of the pipe inserted in the hole whichhad been laboriously dug by hand.Today some wells have cost as much as $350,000.00;a few of them have produced a hundred thousand barrelsa day apiece; one in the Yates field in Texas gushed overtwo hundred thousand barrels of oil a day; and instead ofdrilling to depths of ? few feet, it is now possible to getproduction from below twelve thousand feet; one well,indeed, has been drilled, incredible as it may seem, to adepth of fifteen thousand four feet, or almost three miles.Out of all this effort there has developed one of the largestindustries in the world, and one of the most vital in thewaging of this war.The American production average now stands at3,875,000 barrels a day. Prior to the war such a figurewould have meant about 64 per cent of the worldtotal; today it is possibly closer to 70 per cent of theworld production. Some fifteen months ago the American production ran to over 4,250,000 barrels a day, andthere has been a rather large decline through this year,though production has settled down now rather gratify-ingly at the still stupendous figure previously cited.In 1937, our boom year, 32,560 wells were completed,and a good many of these were carried to depths of twomiles. In 1941, 32,140 wells were drilled, and of that number some 22,000 actually produced oil. The failurewould have been very much more apparent had there notbeen so many millions of dollars spent in a scientific approach to the problem before the wells were put down.Last year permits were issued for only 18,150 new wells,yet approximately the same amount of oil was produced,was, in fact, demanded. That meant that many wellshad to be pulled a little more than they had been before,so some proration laws were modified or relaxed slightly.Of the eighteen thousand-odd wells completed in 1942,three thousand and forty-five were classified as rank"wildcats" drilled expressly in the hopes of increasingour oil reserves. This is a very large number so far asnormal "wildcatting" is concerned, but on March 1 itwas recommended that this year four thousand five hundred "wildcat" wells be drilled so that we may, ifpossible, improve our oil reserve situation.Today we have in the United States an estimatedtwenty billion barrels of reserve oil. We need all ofthat vast total because we are annually draining offfrom our reserve tank some 1,400,000,000 of those barrels.Thus, even with our stupendous quantity in reserve, wehave less than fifteen years' supply ahead of us at thepresent moment. Each year, of course, we find, or hopeto find, new reserves, but last year, despite the threethousand-odd wildcats drilled, we only increased our reserves by 322,000,000 barrels of oil. Thus, we took outover one billion barrels more than we found in new fields,though extensions to old areas helped the reserve situationby about 500,000,000 barrels.In 1937, the last year in which large reserves werediscovered, new reserves totaled about 2,100,000,000barrels. Therefore, we gained, in 1937, about a sixmonths' supply. But last year we found only 23 percent of the total yearly production. Thus it follows thatalthough we in this country have been notably blessedgeologically speaking, and have been unusually astutefrom the engineering point of view, we don't have aguarantee of large oil production continuing indefinitelyinto the future.34 THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINEAmerican ProductionThe United States produced 1,391,000,000 barrels in1941, and only 3,800,000 barrels less in 1942. Theimportant oil production of the Netherlands East Indies,which many consider as practically a flood of oil, isalmost insignificant as compared to our own. Prior toinvasion there was a potential of 167,000 barrels a dayfrom the Indies. Vast as this amount is, and importantas it is to the Japanese war effort, Illinois alone hasproduced an equivalent amount in 10 hours, and Texasyields this flood of oil in about three hours. One gets,perhaps, from these comparisons some idea of the difference between American oil production and the production from other areas. Japan produced, prior to herconquest of the Indies, 3,800,000 barrels a year. This isthe equivalent of approximately ten thousand barrels aday. Many individual American wells have producedthat amount!On the other hand, Germany alone produces less thanten million barrels a year, or some twenty-seven thousandbarrels a day. Rumania, Germany's chief source of oil,has yielded an estimated thirty-eight million barrels in1942, or at the rate of something over a hundred thousand barrels a day. Now, these figures are not accuratefor the moment, but I doubt whether any of them will beoff more than, say 5 to 8 per cent, and some of themare practically exact.Future OilWhat is going to happen to oil production in thefuture? In 1920, the U. S. Geological Survey tried tomake a prognostication. Twenty-three years ago the consensus was that the Mexican reserves were perhaps of thefirst magnitude. They are considered relatively inconsequential now. On the other hand, in West Texas indications are that a district which in 1920 was merelyknown as favorable for the production of petroleum contains today the greatest reserves in North America. Moreover that region can produce, at the present rate of production, which is high, for about thirty-two more years.The point is therefore clear that there are probably otherareas not yet fully understood, or thoroughly explored,which may be developed into rich petroleum areas. Perhaps some of them are in Axis hands.One other idea I want to make plain is that the greatoil fields are likely to be regularly disposed with referenceto certain earth features of major importance. If wemake a map of the earth to show diagrammatically theposition of the oldest rocks, the disposition of the chiefranges, and the lower-lying flank regions adjacent tothem, we will have a background for showing the areasin which oil is likely to be found and those in whichthere is little or no chance for oil. This is true for reasonswhich I will try to explain briefly.First, recall that continents are not stable at all, exceptfrom the point of view of man. Even during shortperiods, geologically speaking, the continents bob up anddown like a cork on the sea. Actually, the North Ameri can continent is larger than it appears on an ordinarymap for the seas have today lapped up over the continental shoulders to a depth of some 600 feet.Since this is true, think of the converse. Suppose Icould somehow push the continent down by six hundredfeet; then the sea would so engulf the Mississippi Valleyarea that one could sail a liner from the expanded Gulfof Mexico right up into Lake Michigan. Some two hundred feet more of depression would make it possible tosail a large boat from the expanded Hudson-James Baysouth across the middle part of the country to the presentsite of New Orleans. The point is that such inundationshave occurred many, many times in the past, and duringthese periods of flooding the foundations were laid for theformation of oil across those parts of the country whichwere beneath the sea.Origins of OilMarine organisms swarmed in the seas which have beenover the continent and in, such troughs so many timesin the past, just as they swarm in the oceans and itsextensions today. As they died their bodies were incorporated in the sediments accumulating at the bottom ofthe sea. Many fossils are shells of marine animals whosesoft parts contributed to the formation of oil.Picture the Valley of California, and remember howthe Sierra Nevadas rise to the east and the Coast Rangeto the west. Even as these words are written everystream flowing out of the Sierra Nevada district is carrying sediment down and dumping it into this hopper.Thus continually, though imperceptibly, the SierraNevadas are being lowered and the valley is being filledin. But, as the sediments are deposited, the area keepssinking. We know that this is so because no matter howdeep we drill, even down to a depth of nearly three miles,shallow water or continental deposits continue to be foundas the bit goes through the rock.When such deposition goes on for a long time, thecrust of the area is weakened. Then, during one of thetimes of periodic shrinking of the earth's surface, a viselike effect results. Then the material dumped into thesinking hopper is crumpled and folded up. It thusbecomes a mountain arc itself. Every linear mountainrange, like the Urals or the Appalachians, or the Andes,that you have seen in nature or in any atlas, was builtout of a low-lying region which was once a basin ofdeposition like the Valley of California. This fundamental geological fact has a great deal to do with petroleum, because petroleum is commonly found in up-bowedor anticlinal structures. But along the axis of the areasof strong folding one does not ordinarily find the oilbecause the rocks have been broken, and the potentialoil reservoirs have been breached. Thus it is on themountain flanks, in the areas of gentler folds, that oilcommonly is sought by the Allies as well as the Axispowers.In the simplest cases then, the petroleum geologistseeks gentle folds of the blister-like type, for in the porousTHE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINE 5CAREY CRONEISrock layers of such structures the oil and gas moveupward and accumulate as gas would accumulate underthe roof of a barn. But there are many other less simplekinds of geological structure in which the oil also is found.One is a typical Gulf Coast structure, commonly knownas a salt dome. Such great plugs of salt, which may behundreds of feet across, have been pushed up from belowthrough the overlying rocks, somewhat as one might pokea stick through a snowbank. The enclosing rock layersare thus bowed up on the side, and oil rises in theupturned layers around the salt plug. Much of the greatTexas oil production comes from wells drilled aroundthese salt domes, which are commonly located by whatwe call geophysical methods, because there may be littleor nothing to indicate the presence of the dome on thesurface. This is an important point in any discussion ofAxis oil possibilities, because the Germans also havebegun to locate some of these potential oil producingstructures in western Europe.From these and various other theoretical considerations— and I have gone into only a very few of them — it ispossible to make, for all of the world, what we call mapsof petroliferous provinces, giving the probabilities of oildiscovery.New FrontsThe best belt for prospecting in Canada ¦ today is inthe slightly warped sediments on the east flank of theRockies, and in part along the route of the Alaskan highway. There is a great deal of exploration going on inthis district now and some of it has already resulted successfully. There are now reported to be over twentyrather good producing wells in the Fort Norman area, nottoo far from Alaska. The object, of course, is to get theoil as near to the active fronts as possible.Next we should consider Mexico and Central America.The best prospecting areas extend through the activelyproducing Tampico district and include the entire GulfCoast of Mexico and Yucatan. There are also prospectsin eastern Nicaragua and Costa Rica. South American OilLet us now examine the South American oil situation.The Venezuelan area has produced as much as six hundred and eighty thousand barrels of oil a day. Thelargest development in the past has been around LakeMaracaibo, but the greatest potentialities for the futureare farther east in what is known as the Oficina region,where there are fabulously rich deposits of oil discoveredin recent years. The oil is taken from these Venezuelandistricts and refined on the small Caribbean Islands ofAruba and Curacao under the aegis of a friendly Dutchgovernment.In the Lake Maracaibo district some wells are actuallydrilled in the lake itself and it is, therefore, possible toload small tankers directly from producing wells. Thetankers tie up to loading racks and take the oil to therefinery center at Curacao, where German submarineswere active some months ago. This is a very easy regionto shell from the sea.The Argentine area has worried many of the Americanstrategists, and our State Department as well. Argentinais potentially a very rich oil district. One of the bestfields is a relatively new one known as the CommodoroRivadavia area, but there are at least two other districtson the eastern flanks of the Andes, which are productiveand will be more so. At the Commodoro Rivadaviaarea there are wells along the seacoast, and there aremany who fear that the German submarines get some oftheir oil from this field, which is extremely handy forrefueling.The range of the Andes is an area unfavorable for oilproduction but along much of its eastern flank there arefavorable prospects. Good prospects have been turnedinto actual development in western Peru and at variousplaces in Colombia. It is apparent, therefore, that thereare large areas in South America which have good possibilities for petroleum production. There will be everlarger groups going there for exploratory work.Old World Oil SituationNext let us examine the European-Mediterranean wartheatre and notice where the oil resources are located.There is light production in Germany, to which I willlater allude, a little production on the old French-Germanborder, very small production in the Piedmont of Italy,so slight we would hardly count it in this country, anda little Albanian oil is produced. There is relativelystrong Rumanian production and some Polish, Hungarianand Austrian production, not consequential by Americanstandards but of the utmost importance to the Nazis.There is a fair production in the Gulf of Suez area innortheastern Egypt, from which district enough oil isobtained to take care of local Egyptian needs.The general African oil possibilities can be discussedin a few words. There is some chance for oil in northernMorocco and Algeria, and I have strongly urged on anumber of occasions, that our engineering corps and ourgeologists attempt to develop even slight production6 THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINEthere. Even small production would be enough to releaseseveral tankers, and, therefore, might help hasten the endof the war. Although the chances for oil are poor orslight in most of Africa south of the region just mentioned, there is a little chance in coastal Mozambique,and in Madagascar.The Persian Gulf area of southwestern Asia is rich inoil production and in possibilities for future development.Not only is oil plentiful near Kuwait, at the head of thePersian Gulf (where some wells have been sealed withconcrete) but farther south there is Bahrein Island whichis literally running with oil. This island illustrates thedome principle referred to before. By drilling throughthe rocks of its gently up-bowed structure, several different rich oil producing horizons have been encounteredand large refineries have been set up. Therefore, BahreinIsland is an important source of oil for the Allies, andit is reasonably accessible to the active southwest Pacificfront.In the European sector, there is some chance for oil,interestingly enough, in the British Isles, hitherto completely without oil production. Moreover, a few monthsago a relatively large well was obtained in England. Thisfact is a more or less open military secret, but the actualproduction figures have not been revealed.German OilNorthwestern Germany is the region which really scaresAmerican experts because, although the Germans had,-up to the time of the war, not been able to develop itactively, the area is ideally situated for the production ofoil. I am positive that American geologists long sincewould have discovered oil there; in fact, such productionas has been obtained has been through the activity ofAmerican specialists working in that region. The Russians, on the other hand, not only have large productionbut enormous potentialities for the development of oilon both sides of the Urals, and both sides of the Caspian.In the Rumanian area the fields which we should beinterested in bombing lie on the southeast side of the oldmountain arc. Recent pictures show that they are stillusing pretty antiquated production equipment; nevertheless, this region is now producing, we are confident, ahundred thousand barrels of oil a day. If this area alonecould be knocked out of production, Germany probablywouldn't be able to continue the war for long.Germany won in the Polish area a set of small fieldsextending from Krakow district on the north and west,eastward toward the Lwow area in what formerly wasthe U. S. S. R., and shortly should be again. Thesefields are producing inconsequential amounts of oil fromthe American point of view, but all of them togetherperhaps produce as much as three million barrels duringa year, and of course, they are being exploited as much as possible. The German Nienhagen area is probablysomewhat larger than we have been led to suppose. Ithas been the chief local source of oil for Germany, andit probably produces about four million barrels of oil ayear.Now, let's consider a totally different picture, but nonethe less one which has a bearing on our subject. Sometime after coal was formed in Illinois, and during partof the time that the Appalachian Mountains were beingfolded some two hundred million years ago, there was asalt sea in western Texas. It is considered by many thatthe salt from that sea pushed upward in those Texassalt domes previously referred to, the material havingmoved like toothpaste in a tube for long distances underground, later to come up through crevices in the rock,and arching up the strata as it did so. Unluckily for usat about the same time that there was a salt sea in themodern West Texas area, in Germany there was a similarinundation out of which the same kind of saline depositswere laid down. These precipitates formed the basis forthe early German chemical supremacy. But more pertinent to the present story, there are also salt domes of theTexas type in the north German plain. In 1938 theGerman government subsidized about a hundred-fiftyexploratory drill holes, and about one hundred salt domeswere discovered. Furthermore word comes, through thegrapevine, that they have also made some discoveries inHolland but just how much actual production, if any,they have been able to obtain is not certainly known.They did, however, in late 1937, find a field just southand east of Hamburg, at a place known as Reitbrock.In 1938, the Germans drilling at about two thousand feet,obtained two wells which initially flowed some two thousand barrels a day. There is now a record of sometwenty-five additional wells having been drilled in theReitbrock area. This is another worrisome aspect of theAxis oil situation, because it is just probable that theGermans are getting larger supplies of oil at home thanwe have suspected hitherto. Nevertheless, during 1938the Germans are known to have imported thirty-onemillion barrels of oil. They seemed at that time to bedesperate for petroleum, and little wonder, for in 1938,if we can believe German figures, within the confines oftheir own country they only produced seventeen one-hun-dredths of the world's total, a quantity vastly too littleto support their great industrial economy.Russian OilLet us now review the oil situation in Russia briefly.The ultimate basis for the German-Russian campaignprobably was the German need for oil. The Romny andPoltava fields to the north and west of Rostov are somethe Germans were after. Only small fields from theAmerican viewpoint, the Germans have had the advan-— Huntington Beach, CaliforniaA forest of oil towers by the seaTHE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINE 7tage of them for a long time, although at the presentmoment they lie practically in the battle zone. In theKerch area there are also several oil districts of someimportance. The Maikop field, of rather considerableconsequence, was destroyed pretty completely by theRussians before the Germans took it. Then the Germansattempted to take the large Grozny field. Although theGerman advance was not halted until they reached thevery edge of the field, the Russians did not cease producing oil from it. Even had the Germans won this regionat Grozny, they would not have actually improved theiroil situation materially. But had they been able to pushthrough to the Baku area along the west coast of theCaspian, their petroleum famine would have ended, forthis district has long produced about seventy per centof the Russian oil.But even had the Russians lost the Baku area, thereis new Russian development on the east side of theCaspian, and a great stretch of new Russian fields andrefineries on the west flank of the Ural Mountains andextending northward almost to the Arctic.What about the oil resources of Russia in Asia? In1933, Dr. Mushketov, then the head of the Russian Geological Survey, visiting in Chicago, stated that the Russians had had literally thousands of scientific partiesexploring their Asiatic lands for oil. To make a verylong story short, they found many good oil prospects andactual production in several regions, such as the KuznetskBasin, the Lake Baikal area, the Lena River headwaters,the Amur River district, and two Kamchatkan areas.Japanese OilThe Japanese have had a little oil production along thenorthwest coast of their main island, probably a total ofsix to eight thousand barrels a day, and they have workedthis area feverishly for a number of years. They alsoget a few thousand barrels a day from the Island ofFormosa and their northern major island, Hokkaido,has a small belt of oil production. Sakhalin Island,jointly owned by the Japanese and the Russians, also hassome oil. Nevertheless, the total Japanese oil productionwas not much more than ten thousand barrels a day forthe entire Japanese Archipelago and adjacent regions.Thus it is not surprising that the Japs imported altogethersomething like forty million barrels of oil during 1938,the last year for which one can find reliable records.The Oil-Rich IndiesIt was also natural that the Japs would turn theirattention to the oil-rich Indies. Scientists, for years, hadbeen telling the various governments, without effect, thatthe Japanese would surely move southward, and that theywould strike first at the oil fields of Borneo, Java, andSumatra. Anyone with reasonable foresight could havetold, long before the actual conquest, that if the warcame, the first strike would be at Brunei, Sarawak, andTarakan, Borneo. Moreover, it was a matter of recordthat the Japs, during the ten years prior to Pearl Harbor, converted their coal burning fighting ships over to oilburners, although as yet they had no important sourceof oil. Putting the story together with hind sight, ofcourse, one sees that they would naturally come toTarakan first because the oil produced there is of suchquality that it does not need to be refined, but can beburned directly as naval fuel. Sure enough, they cameto Tarakan first, but being garrisoned by only about twohundred thirty men, it was taken in a few days. Ofcourse, part of the Tarakan field was destroyed, part ofthe Balik Papan field and refineries to the south also weredemolished, and a part of the Javanese fields and refineries were destroyed. The richest oil area in the Indies,however, was the Palembang, Sumatra, region into thedevelopment of which the Dutch have poured a billionguilders. The area was mined for demolition, but onFebruary 12, 1942, the Jap paratroopists came in sosuccessfully that it is reported that the Dutch never gotto the switches to blow up the refineries. Thus, thoughthey damaged the fields, the refineries, which were farmore valuable to the Japanese, were not badly wrecked.The field installations, although partly demolished, havedoubtless been repaired and new wells drilled.Inasmuch as the Palembang area was the only sourceof high octane aviation gas in the southwest Pacific, itis the one area we should have attempted to hold if wcheld nothing else. Unfortunately, we were not able todo so. We now have no source of high octane aviationgas anywhere in that battle area. This means we have toship by the slow and painful transport method all of theoil supplies which must flow into the Pacific theatre ofwar.The Japs also have their transportation troublesbecause they have to take some of the oil from the Indiesnorth to their refineries in Japan. Of course, they areusing the Palembang and Balik Papan refineries in sofar as they have been able to put them into working order.Our southwest Pacific oil problem will also be a difficultone until we can recapture the Sumatran sources of oil.Ex-congressman William Cole of Maryland getting Armyand Navy sources of information which cannot at thismoment be revealed, has indicated in a report to thePresident, that two-thirds of all the tonnage involved inour transportation is somehow intimately linked with oil.Consequently one of our greatest bottlenecks is the movement of this oil.Australian OilI therefore have suggested, though the suggestionhasn't yet found any fruit, that we try to develop twoAustralian areas in which a little oil has been obtained,one at Kimberley, and another in Victoria, where twowells have produced a little oil. If we could developeven a small source of oil in Australia, it also would bethe equivalent of winning a major engagement. Inasmuch as New Guinea is a much richer potential area foroil, especially on either flank of its major mountain{Concluded on page 18)A SIX MONTHS REPORT ON THE SPARSServing for the durationand another sixmonthsIT IS apparent from a review of the first six months ofthe SPARS that women can effectively replace menin a wide variety of billets in the United States CoastGuard, the nation's maritime police force which automatically becomes a part of the Navy in time of war.Women are assuming greater and greater responsibilitiesin the Coast Guard as they gain confidence from experience. It is possible that a new vocational field for womenhas been opened up.When the Women's Reserve of the Coast Guard wasorganized late in 1942, requests on file at headquarters inWashington, D. C, indicated a need for approximately5,000 enlisted SPARS and 250 officers, in addition tothose required for the organization and administration ofthe Women's Reserve. Had this figure remained constantthere would have been at the end of the first half yearenough SPARS to fill all the officer requests and morethan half of the requests for enlisted personnel. But estimates of women needed for the Coast Guard have beensteadily revised upward. At the conclusion of their firsthalf year in May, the Coast Guard SPARS had 2,646enlisted women assigned or in training and 348 officers.The present estimate of women needed is approximately10 per cent of the complement on Coast Guard shore stations, which means that eventually the Women's Reservemay number 15,000 enlisted SPARS and 1,000 officers.In the face of such a record it is not difficult to foreseethat women may become a permanent part of the U. S.Coast Guard. They are proving that they can performmuch of the traditional work of Coast Guardsmen atshore stations.It still offends some people to see women in uniform.They object to the similarity and the masculinity of military garb for women. Americans have always dislikedregimentation. But less than three years ago many ofus were depressed and troubled by the sight of Americanmen in uniform. Now we are heartened by the numbersand the excellence of our fighting men. The same thingwill happen as the necessity of war puts more and morewomen into the uniformed services of their country.Thousands of women qualified for military service areresisting it at present because it means giving up some oftheir highly prized individuality. Many women ask me:"Don't you think that I can serve my country just as wellwithout going into uniform?" This is a question of coursethat only the individual can answer. American women • By DOROTHY C. STRATTON, A.M. '24have always enjoyed a greater measure of freedom thanis accorded the women of any other nation. We shouldrender service to our country in proportion to the freedom it has afforded us. Nothing less than the best serviceis worthy of us. The question is not why should I servein the armed forces of my country but is there a goodreason why I should not?Nobody knows exactly how to recruit women for thearmed forces. Men are appealed to by the opportunityfor combat and adventure. Jobs in the armed forceswhich are filled by women are strictly noncombatant.Women Reservists of the Navy, Marines, and the CoastGuard are at present limited by Congressional action toservice within the continental limits of the United States.An honest effort has been made and will continue to bemade not to mislead women as to the character of thework which they will perform if they don the uniformof their country. Perhaps too much emphasis has beenplaced on the routine unglamorous nature of the work.But as a matter of fact women in uniform are findingtheir war work interesting. Many of them find it moreinteresting than the jobs which they left. Many womenhave told me that they will reluctantly return to the jobsin offices and schools from which they entered theservice.High morale and alertness are characteristic of thewomen in uniform. No one service boasts of better moraleand performance than another, but each service does havea personality of its own and is building a reputation forspecialties.With the Coast Guard it is preparedness. The SPARSlike to think that they live up to the Coast Guard mottoSemper Paratus. The first letters of the motto and itsA workout under the palmsTHE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINE 9translation, "Always Ready," gave the Coast GuardWomen's Reserve its name — SPAR. This name selectedwith some hesitation has proved significant. SPARS areready and able to do the jobs vacated by Coast Guardmen assigned to active sea duty. There have alreadybeen several hundred such assignments. Also it has beenpointed out that the initials SPAR represent four of thefreedoms for which the United Nations are fighting:speech, press, assembly, and religion.As the SPARS' program has progressed some changeshave been necessitated by the rapid expansion of all theWomen's Reserves. Policies and methods of six monthsago are no longer practicable or desirable. The guidingfactor in every change has been the replacement of menon shore stations with all possible speed. The SPARS'slogan is "More SPARS on the Job Mean More Menon Ships."Especially there have been modifications of the initialpolicies under which SPARS were to be recruited andtrained. The original agreement approved by the Secretary of the Navy was that personnel of the Women's Reserve of the Coast Guard would be procured through theOffices of Naval Officer Procurement and trained in theschools established for the WAVES.The Coast Guard assumes responsibility for its own recruiting after July 1 when three Coast Guard recruitingoffices will be opened in each of the Naval districts withinthe continental limits of the United States.The SPAR training program has also been taken overcompletely by the Coast Guard. Prior to June 24 officercandidates received basic indoctrination at the Naval Reserve Midshipmen's School at Northampton, Massachusetts, and three weeks' additional training at the CoastGuard Academy at New London, Connecticut. Beginning June 24 and each six weeks thereafter seventy-fiveSPAR officer candidates will be admitted to the CoastGuard Academy to receive all of their indoctrination there.Since the middle of June the basic and specialty training of enlisted SPARS has been conducted at the CoastGuard Training Station at Palm Beach, Florida. Formerly it was divided among various Navy training schools.At Palm Beach the Coast Guard saves time and moneyby concentrating basic training and special schools in asingle station where enlisted SPARS remain from fourto sixteen weeks.At Palm Beach the Coast Guard took over the PalmBeach Biltmore Hotel and quickly converted it withnear-by sun and surf club and part of a golf course intoa training station of unusual compactness and comfort.Trainees, women instructors, and women members of theship's company are housed in the hotel. Male instructors and Coast Guardsmen on duty at the station arequartered in temporary barracks on the station. ThePalm Beach station, one of the most excellent in thecountry, has facilities for the maximum number ofSPARS that the Coast Guard expects to train.Training programs of the Coast Guard SPARS are designed to develop native abilities and to utilize previous Luncheon at the Biltmorework experience to the best interests of the service.SPARS are of value to the service only in so far as theyperform their duties effectively. Therefore careful placement of personnel is considered vital from the standpoint of both the service and the individual. Nothingmore quickly undermines the individual's morale thanbeing used on work which does not utilize abilities to theutmost. The needs of the service necessarily come first.But every effort is made to place the individual on workfrom which she can derive satisfaction as well as contribute to the immediate needs of the Coast Guard.Assignment of enlisted personnel to duty stations ismade at headquarters by the enlisted assignments division of the Coast Guard with the assistance of recordsforwarded from the training school.The majority of enlisted SPARS are doing the typingand stenographic work of yeomen or the work of storekeepers, who are concerned with pay and supply. Anequally important but relatively smaller group is composed of radiomen. SPARS will eventually take over inthe communications field all of the operations which canbe handled by women ashore.But the scope of SPARS' activity is by no means restricted to the assignments as storekeepers, yeomen, andradiomen. There are also many special assignments asteletype operators, telephone operators, drivers, file clerks,International Business Machine operators, receptionists,dental assistants, laboratory technicians, pharmacists,draftsmen, photographers, and coxswains.The aptitudes and work records of each officer candidate are carefully scanned during her indoctrination period. Her educational background, experience, personality, traits, and ability to make adjustments are takeninto consideration in selecting her first duty station. InMay SPAR officers were assigned to duty as follows : general duty, 43; communications, 28; procurement offices,41; training schools, 53; personnel, 10; miscellaneous, 6.Assignments of officers now in training will be in similarratio, with more emphasis placed on assignments to CoastGuard procurement offices.THE DEANVS EASY CHAIRAn alumna, S.B. '05, S.M. '13, writes: "I would liketo ask for some advice. We need a new high school textin botany in our high school. We are still using Gager'sFundamentals of Botany, but feel the need of somethingmore appropriate for these times— but there just doesn'tseem to be anything. I realize that botany is out of style,and that it is still considered by many a 'girl's subject,'a relic of the old finishing school days of French, botany,and embroidery. Nevertheless, I know that there is aneed for the fundamentals, and I think this need willincrease very much in the post-war days. We don't wanta book with a great many different sizes of print, becausestudents always skip the fine parts!! Can you send usa list of the newest texts if any, and mention some of thebest University texts? We use Dr. Coulter's Plant Kingdom for reference but it hasn't enough in it for a year'scourse. We have an extra course in economic botany andare using Hill's text but we need a new general botany. Iwould be glad of any advice that you can give me."Professor Paul D. Voth of the Department of Botanyreplies: "The complaint of our alumna concerning theteaching of botany in high school is voiced by manyothers and was expressed more than twenty years agoby F. T. Hughes of Brooklyn, New York {Torreya 19:57-65, 1919). In my opinion the solution lies only partially in the selection of different or new textbooks. Ihope that the succeeding remarks will not be considereda reflection on any text, school, or individual — it is myopinion of the present situation in the teaching of botany."I have discussed this matter with Mr. John D. May-field who teaches biology in our own four-year College,and we are in agreement that no text exists to our knowledge which really fulfills the need of a high school. Ifthe late Professor C. J. Chamberlain's Elements of PlantScience, (McGraw-Hill, 1930) contained more about function in addition to the excellent presentation of structuraldetails, that text could be recommended. Professor M. C.Coulter's The Story of the Plant Kingdom is excellentfor a survey course in biology, but does not fill the needmentioned by our correspondent. I know no suitabletext for high school botany courses."Since I am unacquainted with suitable texts writtenprecisely for high schools, my suggestion would be touse a college text but to teach only limited portions ofit. The text would then serve as a reference work atthe same time. Such an arrangement would make a goodlaboratory manual obligatory, one which is written bythe teacher himself for the local conditions. Texts thatcome to my mind and which I have actually used inrecent years are: A Textbook of General Botany byG. M. Smith, Edward M. Gilbert, Richard I. Evans, Benjamin J. Duggar, George S. Bryan, and Charles E. Allen. (Macmillan, fourth ed., 1942); Botany, A Textbook forCollege and University Students by W. J. Robbins andH. W. Rickett. (Van Nostrand, 1939); Textbook ofBotany by E. N. Transeau, H. C. Sampson and L. H.Tiffany. (Harper, 1940) ; and Plant Biology by PaulWeatherwax. (Saunders, 1942)."Of these the first two have a fairly good balancebetween structure and function. The third stressesecology and physiology rather than morphology. Thelast is abbreviated. For the fundamentals of botany, Iprefer Smith, et al. In our twelve- week course we coveronly some of the text material. The presence of additional and difficult material in the text usually stimulatesthe student to do more work."Several other possibilities come to my mind. A goodcourse in high school botany need not follow the patternof the college botany course. Personally I prefer to teachsophomore botany (the level at which students in theUniversity of Chicago usually enroll for our course) tostudents who have learned to know the plants aboutthem rather than those who already know minutest detailsand can give life-histories by rote."A high school course which includes the identificationof plants along the street, in forest preserves, greenhouses,and window boxes, without stressing Latin names unduly,in addition to the fundamentals about plants, should besuccessful. Field trips and laboratory work of a dynamictype are prerequisite for maintaining interest and formaking the course worth while."Owing to the lack of suitable high school texts, theenclosed list made expressly for elementary college botanycould possibly be adapted for the rather varied demandsof high school. A bibliography of ferns of our regionis also enclosed."Both the lists referred to by Professor Voth are includedin the alumni reading list series, and will be mailed toanyone who sends a request to the Alumni Dean's office.Their titles are: "Elementary College Botany" and "Identifying Native and Cultivated Ferns in the ChicagoRegion."Alumna B.H., Ph.B. '26, writes: "Is there a pamphletpublished on the subject How to Study? It seems to methat I remember in my college days that we were givena pamphlet on this subject. If there is any publicationof this kind issued by the University of Chicago, pleaselet me know so that I may order it; or if there is anyother source of information, I would appreciate hearingabout it from you. I am interested in getting informationof this type into the hands of a few high school studentswho have requested it."Reply: Yes. There is A. W. Kornhauser's book, How toStudy. Its subtitle is Suggestions for High School and10THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINE 11College Students. It was published in 1924 by the University of Chicago Press and a second edition was issuedin 1937. It has had a very large sale. The bibliographical data are: Pp.

(College '34-37), writes: "Iam interested in getting some knowledge of Spanish, andI wonder if you could tell me of the texts now used inSpanish 101, 102, 103 and if you think them satisfactoryfor study by oneself."Professor James C. Babcock, of the Romance LanguageDepartment answers: "The following is a list of the textsnow being used in Spanish 101, 102 and 103:Babcock and Trevino, Basic Course in Spanish.

A study of these books alone would not, however, cover the entire work of the sequence. One houra week throughout the three quarters is devoted to oral-aural practice based on scattered materials not availableunder one cover and on the use of phonograph recordsin a sort of "laboratory" period. Moreover, the studentsin 101, 102, 103 complete approximately eight hundredpages of extensive reading selected from our departmentalreading collection; I should suggest, therefore, that thetexts listed above be supplemented by at least one ortwo items from the regular alumni list (Beginning andIntermediate Spanish) such as Kany, C. E.: ElementarySpanish Conversation, to be used preceding or in conjunction with item two above, and Torres-Rioseco andMorby: Cartilla Mejicana, to be used between items threeand four above. One might also suggest that your correspondent consider the valuable aid which might beobtained from the use of phonograph records availablefrom a number of sources such as: The LinguaphoneInstitute of America, 10 Rockefeller Plaza, New YorkCity; The Cortina System, 105 West 40th St., New YorkCity; Funk and Wagnalls, 354-360 Fourth Ave.,. NewYork City; Aural Educators, Lakewood, New Jersey. Ibelieve that these companies would be glad to furnishlists of records, prices, etc. on request."* * * * *ARE DOCTORS HUMAN?[Resumption and conclusion of the investigation]BUT it is surgeons about whom the question, "Aredoctors human?" is most frequently asked. Withthem, I must confess, I have had only scant contacts. And yet on one occasion I came very near givingsome surgeon an opportunity of practicing his art and improving his technique. I was on a lecture tour andtook a night train from St. Louis to Detroit, where Iplanned to catch a Canadian Pacific express to Montreal.My berth was a lower in the last sleeping car. I wasfast asleep when I was awakened by the most tremendousjar that I had ever experienced. I was banging about inmy berth, and so far as I could form any opinion aboutanything, the car was turning over and over, as it rolleddown a steep embankment, doubtless to plunge into someriver. I remembered that my route lay through Indianaand the impression in my mind was that I was headedfor the Wabash River. Now I have often heard that oneconfronted with the danger of sudden death sees all thesins of his past life displayed before him with a disconcerting sharpness of focus. But this was not so with me;perhaps the time was too short. I remember well thatalthough I never doubted my life was in peril, I had justone thought and that was that when that car plungedinto the Wabash (for I had quite made up my mind thatit was the Wabash), if it fell with the window uppermostI could easily kick my way out and I certainly couldswim the Wabash River. And then., when I was gettingready for my great effort, the car after a final prodigiousroll, stopped, not in any river but on land and rightside up.It happened about 4:00 A.M. and the cai was in totaldarkness. Pandemonium broke loose. To my surpriseI found that I was not in my own berth, but had beenthrown into that of a young lady on the other side of theaisle. She, however, was not there to receive me, as shehad taken the air route into the berth of a stout gentleman a little way down the aisle, who in turn had notbeen there to receive her, because he had been catapultedinto an upper berth. And in all that uproar the firstpanic-free words I heard were those of the stout gentleman, who, leaning out of the upper, said: "I'll get therailroad company for this. I paid for a lower berth andnow it is trying to make me ride in an upper." His armhad been broken but his spirit was still intact. A goodmany persons were hurt. Among them were three members of a small theatrical troup — artists of the Varietylevel, who got on in the middle of the night and wokeevery one up as they always do.Presently a brakeman brought a couple of lanterns andafter collecting my scattered belongings, I dressed andstepped out to see what had happened. I found thatthe car had been thrown off the tracks by a broken railand had rolled down a 40 foot embankment. It was theonly car of the train that was derailed. It had, however,according to the conductor, turned over only once, whichwas a distinctly disappointing repudiation of my ownestimate. It certainly made a beautiful landing. Noteven the doors were jammed. It had left its trucks halfway down the embankment. I got into another Pullmanand waited for the doctors from the nearest town.After some time two doctors arrived. They took ournames and looked us over. "Are you hurt?" one of themsaid to me. "I don't think so," I answered, "I am a12 THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINEALUMNIDEANGORDON J. LAINGIn conclusion-inconclusivelittle bruised and sore from knocking around in myberth, but that is all." "Good," he said, "but let mesee you walk down that aisle." I did so, he made somenotes and my examination was over. He proved to be athoroughly competent medical officer, for months afterwards when the railroad company settled with me, theirrepresentative in Chicago asked me whether I would liketo hear their medical examiner's report on me at the timeof the accident. I said I would, and he read it to me.It was only a brief memorandum, to the following effect :"This passenger says that he isn't hurt, but he walks likea man with broken ribs." And he was right. Afterreaching Detroit, I took a train for Montreal and gavemy lectures there; three of them in all. But I noticedan increasing soreness of body (accompanied, I regret tosay, by a corresponding stiffness of rhetorical style), anddecided to get home to Chicago as soon as possible. ButI got no further than Toronto, where I was obliged to goto a hospital. I was given an x-ray examination, andthe doctor, coming in a few hours later, told me thatthe pictures showed a broken rib. "I thought," he said,'"you would like to see a print and here it is. It is agreen-stick fracture, and a beauty; a really perfect example of the type." While he was saying this, he was gloatingover the photograph. "What in the world is a green-stick fracture," I asked, "and what do you mean by calling it a beauty? You are as enthusiastic about it as ifit were some magnificent work of art. You seem to getpleasure out of it. I assure you that I am not gettingany." "Well," he replied, "perhaps I was a little tooexpansive. I can, however, easily answer your questionabout the green-stick fracture. It is a term we use whenthe bone is only partly broken, and yours is such an excellent example that I was for a moment carried away.It really is without exception the best . . ." But therehe stopped and there was an end of his technical ecstasy.I asked him what he was going to do about it and heanswered that there really wasn't much that he could do;he would merely strap me up and let time do the rest.He wound an adhesive band about my ribs and aftera few days I took a train to Chicago. I must say that I didn't like the coolness and indifference with which thisdoctor treated me. I am not sure that some such question as "Are doctors human?" did not occur to me. Herewas I with a green-stick fracture, apparently one of thefinest ever seen in Canada, and practically nothing wasdone about it.On reaching Chicago, I went to my own doctor who,however, being a general practitioner, said that he couldn'tdo anything for me; I must see a surgeon. He recommended Dr. Blank on the floor below. I went to himand told him of the x-ray taken in Toronto. "Where isthe picture"? he asked. I told him I had no copy but itwouldn't be needed because the Toronto man had diagnosed my case as one of green-stick fracture of a rib."That does not help me," said Dr. Blank. "I have tosee the picture myself. Go down to our x-ray room andhave one taken." I did so and a day or two later I wentin to see it. "It's a green-stick fracture all right," thedoctor said, "and it is a beauty just as that Toronto mansaid." Whereupon he scrutinized the picture again andon his face came that expression of intense artistic appreciation with which I was now so familiar. "But that isn'tall," he said, "you have two other ribs cracked. Youwent in for that accident in quite a big way, didn't you?"And he grinned, though whether he did this in enjoyment of his own humor (which is hardly possible) or atthe seriousness of my accident I don't know. "Take thepicture up to your doctor; he will want to see it and hewill know what to do." On reporting back to Dr. Blank,he said, "That band the Toronto man put on won't dofor three broken ribs. I shall have to put on a wider one.But first I must take the old one off. If you will getready, I'll be back in a moment." When he came backhe said, "Just hold that bed-post, will you, and I'll havethis off in a- minute." He seized one end of the bandand peeled it off, together with a large part of my epidermis. "Is that the only way," I asked, "that medicalresearch has discovered for removing an adhesive band?""No," he said calmly, "it isn't the only way, but it is thequickest way, and I generally do it that way, especiallyif I have other patients waiting." He then put on anotherband. "What now," I asked, and with my qualificationof three fractured ribs I really didn't expect a repetitionof my dialogue with the Toronto doctor. But that was>all I got: "Take it easy, and you will be all right in acouple of months." Precisely the same attitude as theother doctor had shown! I no longer wondered that somany people spoke of the inhumanity of doctors.Only once have I had an operation and that I am .afraid is classified among the minors. I had my tonsilsremoved after a long series of annual attacks of tonsilitis.I went to a hospital a few days before the operation, andwas consigned to the care of a nurse who I wish to sayshowed no sign of that dehumanizing process of which Ihave spoken so often. It is wonderful how well onecomes to know a nurse in the course of a few days. She(Continued on page 17)NEWS OF THE QUADRANGLES• By DON MORRIS, '36THE first class to be awarded the University's newbachelor's degree for general education — a groupforty-one • strong, whose youngest member wasseventeen and whose median age was nineteen years andnine months — was the feature attraction at the 213thConvocation in Rockefeller Memorial Chapel. As JuneConvocations go, it was the smallest one since the yearsimmediately following the last war, with a total of 442degrees conferred (cf. 460 in 1923, when the numbershad begun to climb out of the war slump which hit bottom in 1918 with 195 degrees granted in June) . But,although the June figure was 40 per cent. below that oflast year, the total for the four Convocations of the academic year was 5 per cent higher than in 1941-2. Thisapparent paradox is attributable to the early graduationsof men expecting a service call; fall and winter Convocations were above normal.Brigadier General Joe N. Dalton, General Staff Corps,director of personnel for the Army Service Forces, delivered the Convocation address, as forty-one received thenew bachelor's, 267 the conventional bachelor's degree,seventy-two the master's degree, twenty-six the Ph.D. degree, twenty the M.D., ten the M.B.A., four the D.B., andtwo the J.D. degree.A questionnaire, circulated among the recipients of thebachelor's for liberal education, in the main indicatedthat the youthful group approves the College plan, is notdissimilar to students in general.Answers to one question, however, are illuminating sofar as the College plan as an educational innovation isconcerned. All but two of the thirty- two (76 per cent)returning questionnaires said they plan to continue theirstudies for advanced or professional degrees. Since thethree years of study after receiving the College degreerequired to earn a master's represent no net gain in timewhatever, but simply provide a chance for more effectiveorganization of study, the high proportion planning totake graduate work contradicts flatly the charges that thedegree is "cheap" or "inflated." The students' answersas to why they chose to work for this degree include suchphrases as "it would be simpler to work for the master'sdirectly," "wanted acquaintance with fields outside myspecialty," "felt my course toward a higher degree wouldbe improved and integrated," and "couldn't go four yearsand preferred general education to a dip into a majorfield."Meanwhile, at the annual initiation of newly electedmembers of Phi Beta Kappa, Midway chapter, PresidentAlbert T. Olmstead, professor of oriental history, told theinitiates that election to the honorary society used to stamp students as the hard workers of the campus, butno longer so signifies. Army and Navy students, he said,work just as hard but win no keys.Busiest Summer QuarterWhat bade fair to be the busiest summer quarter inthe history of a University where summer quarters always have been busy began this month, with all levels ofstudents in attendance — teachers re-training themselves toinstruct in war courses, students under the old undergraduate plan hastening to complete their education beforebeing called into service, a new entering class in the College, in addition to the continuing "regular" classes ofthousands of Army, Army Air Forces, and Navy students.Split into four three-week periods to provide the maximum flexibility for hard-pressed students, the quarter willinclude a series of workshops and the largest number ofspecial institutes and conferences in any summer quarter.Federated Theological FacultyThe merging of the faculties of the four theologicalschools associated with the University produced lastmonth the largest Protestant theological faculty in America. Designated now as the Federated Theological Faculty of the University of Chicago, the pooled facultiesinclude those of the original (Baptist) Divinity School ofthe University, the (Congregational) Chicago TheologicalSeminary, the (Unitarian and Universalist) MeadvilleTheological School, and the Disciples Divinity House..The thirty-two scholars whose abilities are thus joinedwill constitute one of the outstanding Protestant theological faculties of the world.The federated group, whose members will be membersof the University's faculty, will constitute the faculty ofthe several individual institutions and will have controlof the common elements of the curriculum leading towardthe degree of Bachelor of Divinity. This common corewill be approximately two-thirds of the curriculum, withone-third remaining as the area for instruction in theinterests of the denominations of the respective individualinstitutions. Students of all four schools will be registered as graduate students in the University, with minimum entrance requirements fulfilled by the equivalentof graduation from the University's College.The federated faculty will be administered by an executive council consisting of the heads of the four participating institutions: Dean Ernest C. Colwell of the Divinity School, President Albert W. Palmer of the ChicagoTheological Seminary, President Sydney B. Snow of theMeadville Theological School, and Dean Edward Scribner Ames of the Disciples Divinity House.1314 THE UNIVERSITY OFOldest of the four institutions is the Meadville school,founded in 1844 at Meadville, Pennsylvania. In 1928 theschool was moved to Chicago and united with the RyderDivinity School, of the Universalist denomination, whichhad been affiliated with the University since its removalfrom Galesburg, Illinois, in 1917. The Chicago Theological Seminary was founded in 1855; its first classeswere held on Chicago's west side in 1858. In 1913 theschool became affiliated with the University and twoyears later moved to its present site on campus. The University's Divinity School grew out of the Baptist UnionTheological Seminary, founded in 1865 and opened inthe next year in Morgan Park, then a Chicago suburb.It moved to the University at the time of the foundingof the latter, retaining its connection with the BaptistTheological Union. Disciples Divinity House, founded in1894, was always closely associated with the University.Teaching AwardsThree more of the $1,000 prizes for excellence in teaching, provided for by the gift of an anonymous easternalumnus, were awarded this month to a trio of facultymembers including one instructor, twenty-seven, theyoungest yet to receive the prize. The awards brought toeighteen the number of teachers honored for the too-often unrewarded talent of instructing, since the gift wasput on its present basis in 1938. This year's prizes wentto Arthur Friedman, assistant professor of English, whohas been active in the making of the new College program; Michael Ference, assistant professor of meteorology, active in the direction and teaching of the physicalsciences general course and in the instruction of the AirForces weather cadets, as well as the author of a new andwidely acclaimed physics text in collaboration with Harvey B. Lemon, professor of physics; and T. Walter Johnson, instructor in history, whose range of teaching includesCollege, divisional, and graduate levels. He is in chargeof the history instruction of the soldiers of the Army Specialized Training Program detachment.Chicago Daily NewsFerence, Friedman, Johnson, HutchinsThree thousand dollars for meritorious teaching CHICAGO MAGAZINEElectronics MoveAs the war program of the University last month continued to expand beyond the usual boundaries of theQuadrangles, the classes in electronics and ultra-high frequency radio given for the Signal Corps moved eastwardinto a wing of the Rosenwald Museum of Science and Industry on the Lake front. Through the co-operation ofthe Museum, itself embarked on an extensive war program, the 275 men enrolled in the training now are utilizing more than seventeen thousand square feet of spacein the Museum for libraries, classrooms, laboratories, machine and transmitter shops, and offices. Other expansion notes: the Army Specialized Training Program occupies the Phi Kappa Psi fraternity house as well as threedormitories; half of the second floor of Harper libraryis being converted into stack space; cosmic ray research isnow being carried on in the old press box atop the northstand at Stagg Field; taking over of the Coffee Shop forthe messing of the A.S.T.P. soldiers has brought the opening of the Commons between meals.Cancer, Chlorophyll, and CatsWar research remains, despite recent flurries in thepress about radar, on the "restricted" if not on the"secret" list, but notable scientific developments havebeen made in non-war fields this year. Two prizes aggregating $3,000 were awarded in the space of six months toCharles B. Huggins, professor of surgery, for pioneer workwhich has been remarkably effective against one type ofcancer and which points a new direction for work againstall forms of this disease. Working in the field of cancerof the prostate gland, linked to the male reproductive system, Dr. Huggins devised tests for the detection of thedisease — principally the presence in significant quantitiesof the enzyme "acid phosphatase" — and development oftreatment methods including surgical removal of thetestes or administration of the female sex hormone. Prostate cancer attacks 9 to 17 per cent of all men over fiftyyears of age and is the cause of death of one man in everytwenty above that age. The disease often is very painful."One of the directions cancer research is now taking,"Dr. Huggins said at the dinner meeting of the NationalAcademy of Sciences at which he was last month awardedthe first Dr. Charles L. Mayer prize of $2,000, "is thefunctional or physiological approach to the problem oftumors."The functional approach contrasts sharply with thedescriptive approach — with the methods of classical pathology. It is concerned with the entire living organismrather than with sections or segments of the dead organism. In the functional approach the measure is of firstimportance: How much cancer activity is present? Howcan the activity be increased or decreased? Assay of adisease in a laboratory obviously removes much of the uncertainty inevitably associated with bedside observation,particularly in cancer.Surgery or female hormone administration results inimmediate beneficial effects in 95 per cent of cases, Dr.THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINE 15Huggins reported. In about half of these cases the regression of the disease is pronounced and relatively permanent, the benefit often including disappearance of thetumor, return of appetite, cessation of pain, and the arrestof tendency toward anemia. In the other half of casesbenefitted, the relief is pronounced, but after a year anda half or less the disease returns, stimulated apparentlyby the production of male sex hormones elsewhere thanin the testes. All in all, Dr. Huggins said, the improvement far outweighs the undesirable effects.Meanwhile, James Franck, winner of the Nobel prizein 1925, reported results of his work on photosynthesis tothe S. S. Fels Fund, which supported the research, before leaving academic investigation to enter war research.Dealing with the extremely delicate and complicated wayin which green plants furnish themselves, men, and animals with all the food they use and oxygen they breatheby converting carbon dioxide and water into sugars bythe aid of chlorophyll, the green dyestuff through whichthe sun's energy is utilized, the theory assumes the actionof at least three enzymes which have not been isolatedand whose nature still is not known.According to the comprehensive theory advanced byProfessor Franck and his co-worker Hans Gaffron, alternating daylight and dark furnish the requisite backgroundfor the process whose existence has been known for a hundred years but whose workings are still mainly unverified.A carbon dioxide molecule is joined with a large organicmolecule through the agency of the first enzyme in aninitial step which prepares the molecule for the series ofstages by which it becomes a sugar. In the light, hydrogen is added to the carbon dioxide by the aid of chlorophyll; in the dark this product is stabilized by the agencyof the second enzyme. After a series of these steps —probably twelve, as found by Foster Rieke, working withProfessor Franck at Chicago, and by others — the sugaris formed. The third enzyme plays its role of peeling offthe organic molecule combined in the initial step, andrestoring it to its original condition so the process canstart over again.Among the books published by scientists this springwas Behavior and Neurosis by Jules H. Masserman, assistant professor of psychiatry, detailing the results and gathering up the conclusions of a long series of experimentsusing cats. Results confirmed the findings of psychiatrists in clinical experience with human beings: that thesurest methods of overcoming neurosis are those in whichthe patient is not passive but participates in his own recovery. A combination of treatments works best, butamong single techniques the most successful were those inwhich the patient was forced to break through his ownmental conflict, or in which he was taught that the conflict could be solved by his own efforts. Dr. Massermanproduced the neurotic symptoms in the cats by trainingthem to eat at a bell-and-light signal, then thwarting thebehavior by* using an electric fan to blow a blast of airin their faces as the eating signal was given. In one ofthe more successful recovery methods, the cats were forced by a movable partition in the cage closer and closer tothe food box; their signs of excitement and fear increasedthe closer they were pushed, but when practically next tothe food some of them could not resist snatching a bite.From then on their improvement continued until theycould stand the air blast with equanimity. The othermost successful method was to train the cats to givethemselves the eating signal by pushing an electric switchto set off the bell and light. Given this degree of controlover the conflict-provoking situation, the cats became lessneurotic in the first place and also had an easier time returning to normal. Other methods — a "rest cure," pettingand hand-feeding, and the example of a normal cat —were less effective in overcoming the neuroses, Masserman found.Munnecke AppointedThe Board of Trustees last month confirmed the appointment of Wilbur C. Munnecke as adviser on warprojects to the University. Since 1942, Mr. Munneckehas been on military leave of . absence from MarshallField and Company, of which he is vice-president andgeneral operating manager of the Chicago retail andsuburban stores. The University appointment is in addition to work he now is doing with the War Department,and he will divide his time between the Midway andWashington. Mr. Munnecke' s most recent assignment inthe War Department has been as deputy to BrigadierGeneral Dalton in the organization of the Army Specialized Training Program; his work on the campus will beconcerned not only with the A.S.T.P. unit, commandedby Colonel E. V. Smith, but also with other training andresearch programs. A native of St. Louis, Mr. Munnecke,thirty-seven, was graduated at Dartmouth College in1927.The Maroon ScoreboardBaseballChicagoChicagoChicagoChicagoChicagoChicagoChicagoChicagoChicago 8-13-1-7-7-0-2-2-2- - 3 Morton J.

Like a New York production whichopens in Philadelphia and arrives on Broadwayvia Atlantic City and Boston, Reunion Week began inthe Loop on Monday and arrived on the Midway Fridayvia Oak Park and Winnetka.With Hutchinson Commons the only dining room onthe Quadrangles not drafted for war service, the alumnigroups that annually hold large reunion dinners on theQuadrangles found themselves looking first for meat andsecond for a place to eat it. The Law School dinner,therefore, was held Monday evening at the Bar Association on La Salle Street. Wednesday evening the first session of the Alumni School opened at the 19th CenturyWoman's Club in Oak Park. Charles D. Heile, '25, waschairman of the reception committee and Nena WilsonBadenoch, '11, was in charge of refreshments served atthe close of the evening. Thursday night the Schoolmoved to the Winnetka Community House, where J.Milton Coulter, '18, general reunion chairman, headedthe committee who acted as host in his home town. Bothin Oak Park and in Winnetka the fellowship followingthe formal program was a pleasant part of the occasion.The Alumni School arrived at Mandel Hall Fridayevening for a one-night stand. Arthur A. Baer, '18, deanof the school, shuttled across University Avenue from theClass of '18 dinner at the Quadrangle Club to preside atthe school and back to the club to complete the eveningat the twenty-fifth reunion of his class.Saturday's program began with a late breakfast forthe alumnae in the theatre of Ida Noyes Hall, where acateress served a sumptuous meal without benefit of theIda Noyes main kitchens or dining room — both of whichhave joined the Navy. At the afternoon Alumni Assembly in Mandel Hall the awarding of alumni medals andcitations opened the program. (The recipients are listedelsewhere.) Harold J. Gordon, '17, chairman of theAlumni Foundation Board of Directors, presented the1943 Alumni Gift to President Hutchins: $113,132.72from 4,983 alumni, as compared with $88,813.00 from4,904 alumni presented the same day last year. In 1942,800 alumni in 235 cities helped to collect the gift; thisyear 1,100 alumni in 294 cities served as chairmen andcommittee members. Mr. Gordon stated that the Foundation's fiscal year ends June 30 (as does the University's)by which time the gift should have increased by three orfour thousand dollars. (Last year the total gift on June30 was $94,240.92.)President Hutchins, in accepting the gift, expressedsincere gratitude for the increased generosity of thealumni at a critical time for the University. Before mak ing his annual report, he announced the retirement of theAlumni Dean, Gordon J. Laing. The President paidtribute to the long years of service Dean Laing has giventhe University — as professor, chairman of his department,divisional dean, general editor of the University Press,and finally as dean of the alumni. The audience joinedspontaneously and heartily in this tribute.In the absence of the University Band, most of whosemembers have gone to war, a Navy band composed ofmusicians from the Navy Signal School on the Quadrangles played a concert in Hutchinson Court precedingthe Thirty-third Annual University Sing, which this yearwas dedicated to the men and one woman of Chicagowho have made the supreme sacrifice in the service oftheir country. For the thirty-third time, Ned Earle, '11,directed the activities, and sharing with him in an unbroken record of attendance were Artie Bovee, '07, whohas always led the Alpha Delta Phi's, and Chester Bell,'13, J.D. '15, who has always waved the star-tipped batonover the Phi Gamma Delta's. The fraternities representedat the Sing did not march as in former years and no cupswere awarded. The men sat in groups on the grass ofthe sunken court and gathered around the fountain tosing their songs. Esoteric, winner of the Inter-Club Sing,was also on the program, and there were novelty musicalnumbers by representatives of the various military unitson the Quadrangles.The night was warm, moonlit, and nearly cloudless;six thousand students of yesteryear and today renewedfriendships under the ribbons of maroon and white lights,while a liberal sprinkling of white and khaki uniforms inthe Court served as a reminder that this was a briefinterlude to a job not yet completed.SONNETWhen I do see those glorious cities razed,And hideous death his harvest reaping there;When I do see the lands that once were fair,Charred by incendiary flames that blazed;When all around the light has left the eyesOf wandering multitudes, who once aloftDid set their gaze, too charitably soft,And saw amidst the stars grim death arise;When then comparing this to former ways,I dream of cities vast and proud, their yieldOf wealth, the reddening sunset in the field,The love of God and Man abounding in those days,I can no more that burning hate contain,Which killing death, may give us life again.— -Erwin Hornung, '41.16THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINE 17THE DEAN'S EASY CHAIR{Continued from page 12)even asked my advice as to which of the two men whowere clamoring for her hand she ought to marry. Notknowing either of them I was able to give her advicewholly without prejudice or bias, based solely on what Iknew of her and what she told me of them. She saidthat my choice coincided with her own, and she wrote mea year or so afterwards that she had married the otherone. That was human enough! But she was humanityherself, that girl. Just before I was taken up to the operating room she shot some dope into my arm that inducedin me a greater contentment than I had ever knownbefore. I really did not care what the doctor did to me.I was, however, much surprised and keenly disappointedwhen on reaching the operating room I wasn't laid on atable — my only idea of an operation up to that time — butmade to sit on a chair. Moreover, I was given only alocal anaesthetic. The whole thing was below scale. Itwas like a bad half -hour in a dentist's chair; it was reallya sort of a deep-sea dentistry. To me the doctor wasentirely humane, but when at one stage of the performance the nurse handed him the wrong instrument hesnapped at her as if he would have liked to bite herhead off. Kept at her too, growling and growling. Isaw her the next day and I said to her, "What a bearthat doctor must be to ride you as he did about thatinstrument. I am sure the one you handed him wouldn'thave hurt me any more than the one he used." "Oh,you heard him, did you?" she said. "Heard him!" Isaid, "of course I heard him. He hadn't cut my ears out;he stopped short of that." "Well," she said, "he is reallykind as kind can be, but they are all different in theoperating room. Something happens to them as soon asthey begin to operate. I suppose politeness is only aveneer after all and it doesn't survive the atmosphere ofthe operating room; it is blistered off." "Dehumanizesthem perhaps," I ventured. "I don't know whether itdehumanizes them," she answered, "or whether it makesthem really human. I haven't yet found out what'human' means." That nurse, too, had visualized ourproblem about the meaning of "human."But I must add that my doctor showed me he washuman in the ordinary sense of the term a little later.For in the first night after I had gone home I had afrightful hemorrhage where my late lamented tonsils hadbeen and of course it had to happen at three o'clock inthe morning. But he came over and worked with me forthree hours till he found the break and closed it up. Hecame in a few days later. "Any more hemorrhages?" heasked. "None at all," I said, "but I have been verycareful. I wouldn't, for example, dare to cough." "Youwouldn't," he said, glaring at me. "You go right intothe bathroom and cough your head off. If there are to beany more hemorrhages, I want to be here at the time."I did as he said and coughed and coughed and put everystrain on my throat that I could devise, and then went back to him. "All right?" he asked. "All right," I said."I should think so," he replied and stalked out. A slightdehumanization there, I think. He seemed to regard thesituation as a contest between a recalcitrant throat andhimself. It wasn't my throat. It was just a throat; asurgical area that was his much more than mine.But if I never had a real operation myself, I saw oneonce. I was visiting a friend of mine in Baltimore, thelate Dr. Dean Lewis, head of the Department of Surgeryin the Johns Hopkins University, and he took me throughthe hospital. After we had made the rounds Dean saidto me, "Dandy, the brain surgeon, is operating this morning and he told me that we could see the operation fromhis office, if we liked." Then taking me into a room nextto the operating room, he looked through a pane of glassin the door. He was there for some time. "Wonderful,"he said at last, "simply wonderful. Look into that roomand you will see something." I looked through the glassand I certainly saw something. For there on an operatingtable with nurses hovering about him was a man whosehead had been opened and there was the white-cladsurgeon "going-in" as Dean Lewis described it, to thebrain. I didn't look very long. "What do you think ofthat?" said Lewis, "isn't he a wonder? Such manipulation, such technique ! There is no one who can do thatoperation like Dandy." "Will the patient recover?" Iasked, thinking of Mr. Pickwick. "Oh, I don't knowabout that," he answered, "but certainly Dandy is in aclass by himself."Such is the end of my investigation of this puzzlingand important problem. Starting it, as I have alreadyinformed you, at a doctor's suggestion — though I havenever known whether he tossed off the question in amoment of professional levity or whether he had a moreserious purpose — I have approached it in the spirit ofpure research. I have studied it from different angles^I have collected evidence from every available source, Ihave subjected that evidence to the severest tests, and Ihave thrown out ruthlessly everything to which clung eventhe faintest suspicion of falsity. I have accepted onlythat testimony which has passed every test, which hasstood up under the severest criticism; and then as thefinal step in my procedure I have submitted this carefullysifted material to the scrutiny of my thousands of alumnireaders.I have proceeded with the utmost objectivity. I havehad no thesis to establish; my one purpose has been todiscover the truth, and so I have followed the evidencewherever it has led. Sometimes it has seemed to methat the answer to this question "Are doctors human?"must be a vigorous "No," but at other times the evidencehas seemed to tend the other way. It has certainly beenan interesting, even exciting piece of work for the author.The very uncertainty of the outcome has been one elementin the excitement. I remember well the day I had the flash{Concluded on page 18)18 THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINEOIL FOR THE AXIS{Continued from page 7)range, we should also try to stabilize the New Guineafront, even before winning back the Sumatran region,and see if we can't, within a few months, develop a largesource of New Guinean oil.It is true that I am dealing in grand strategy; and Irealize that the military have a saying that, "If you couldlay all amateur strategists end to end — wouldn't that benice?" Nevertheless, one cannot study a subject such asthis without being impressed with the importance ofutilizing our really great scientific talent for finding oil— a talent which is an American characteristic, as surelydefined as southern speech or New England twang. Noother men have even remotely approached the Americanscientists and engineers in getting this sinew of war. Isuggest, therefore, that we really try to get new oilsupplies near the battle fronts as previously indicated,especially in those areas which are known petroliferousprovinces.Furthermore, we should bend every effort to cut theline which the Japs have established from the Indies toJapan by using the many high-speed tankers which weknow they developed shortly before the war, apparentlyfor the express purpose of carrying the captured oil of theIndies. Similarly we must, at as early a date as possible,destroy or capture the Rumanian oil fields. If we do boththe Axis war machine will really squeak for lack of oil.THE DEAN'S EASY CHAIR{Continued from page 17)that the attack on doctors implied in the question mayhave been nothing more than an inheritance from theill-repute of the witch-doctors and charlatans of prehistoric ages. I was tempted to close my investigation atthat point — so plausible did the theory seem to me — butI resisted the temptation. I felt that the alumni wouldobject; they would want this theory tested and provedlike all the others; they would insist on the same standardof totalitarian research as that used in other parts of thestudy. And so I continued my probing and testing.And yet in spite of all this, a careful weighing of theevidence on either side does not justify a categorical "yes"or "no" to the question before us. To the unthinking this will be a disappointment, and I shudder to think ofthe language that many of those alumni will use whohave communicated with me in the last few months andwho have urged me to "show the docs up." To them Ican only say that I have never had any desire to "showthe docs up." For it is the very essence of the pure research spirit that it rigidly excludes all personal feelingson one side or the other. It slams the door on individualpredilections; the research man is influenced only by thetrend of the evidence. The slightest deviation from thiscourse means the vitiation of the whole process. Forexample, if the evidence in this case had conclusivelydemonstrated the inhumanity of doctors, I should nothave hesitated to announce the decision; and on theother hand if the investigation had resulted in a triumphant acquittal of the medical profession, I should havebeen equally prompt in saying so.But the evidence does neither of these things, and wemust recognize that fact. This does not mean that theinvestigation has been made in vain. Far from it. Inits variety of approach, in its thoroughness in collectingdata, in the closeness of its scrutiny of all alleged facts,in the unbiased quality of its judgments, in its catholicfairness, it is still submitted as a pattern of research. Anyfurther investigation of the problem must be based onthis one. Nor should the question we have discussed berelegated to the class of insoluble problems. It may easilyhappen that new evidence will be found at some latertime and a verdict for the doctors or against the doctorswill be returned with such weight of testimony, with suchimposing authority, that all men will accept it withoutdoubt, even without demur. The question will be answered once and for all. But so far as this investigationof mine is concerned, its verdict cannot be other thanthat of certain Scottish courts of law, in which besidesthe usual "guilty" and "not guilty," a third verdict maybe rendered, namely "not proven," expressed both in thelanguage of the Scottish jurists and in my own vernacular by the words non liquet.Honoring Two Former Faculty MembersTWO ships built by the California Shipbuilding Corporation have been namedfor former members of the University faculty.
